Tuesday, December 13, 2011    Truth Makes the Enemy Cower     As we come closer to the time where we adore the precious Baby Jesus born in a manger, we are constantly reminded of those babies in danger of not being born at all. People who believe a woman has the "right" to choose whether her baby lives or dies do not understand that each and every person is a creation of God-fully alive from the moment of his or her biological beginning.

Welcoming many pilgrims from the "Movement for Life" across Europe, the pope said, "Dear friends, on the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, remember that the first of all rights is the right to life." Pope Benedict from the beginning of his pontificate has used many opportunities to raise the right to life, demonstrating his primary concern for what he considers the most basic human right.   'My mother was raped but she chose life' Catholic Herald   Ryan Bomberger knows only a little about his natural mother: "I know that, tragically, she was raped," he says, "and that even though she had access to abortion because of that she chose life." He continues: "The social worker described my mother as angry. She had never intended to see me after birth, but then she asked to hold me. The social worker said that there was a noticeable change in her countenance after that. "I'm glad she chose life and gave me the opportunity to be adopted by an amazing multi-racial Christian family of 15. I had an amazing life growing up on a farm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. There was never a dull moment. Never a quiet moment either!" Babies' cells linger, may protect mothers NPR What would you say if we told you that when a woman has a baby, she gets not just a son or daughter, she gets an army of protective cells--gifts from her children that will stay inside her and defend her for the rest of her life? It's such an enticingly beautiful idea, the scientists who proposed it worry that maybe it's too beautiful.
