DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Petitions in Support of 20 Week Abortion Ban Delivered to US Senate from Millennials


                                 Students for Life of America today 
delivered petitions from students across the nation to the U.S. Senate 
Majority and Minority Leaders advocating banning abortions after 20 
weeks through the Pain Capable Unborn Protection Act, which was passed 
one month ago today in the U.S. House of Representatives.


                                 “Millennials are not apathetic about 
abortion, much less abortions committed on preborn babies that feel pain
 at 20 weeks and beyond,” said Kristan Hawkins, president of Students 
for Life of America.  “The Senate needs to listen to these students, to 
women, to all Americans, the vast majority of who oppose abortions that 
late in pregnancy.”

Pope Francis' New Letter Promotes Protection of All Life
                                 

While
 the liberal media may be tripping over themselves to declare Pope 
Francis’ new encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si (Praise be to 
You) a groundbreaking milestone in the Catholic Church on climate 
change, they are failing to mention the pope’s eloquent and articulate 
defense of life, especially as it relates to caring about the 
environment, our bodies and natural human dignity.

                                 To
 summarize the Pope’s main points on abortion, he essentially says that 
caring for the environment, including the protection of endangered 
species and other animals, cannot be separated from or held above the 
protection of human preborn babies, even when that new little human life
 is deemed inconvenient.

When a Hypothetical Story Isn't Hypothetical After All

Reprinted from www.JoshBrahm.com

                                 Sometimes
 when I talk about abortion with strangers, it feels like I’ve already 
had that conversation before, because they’re making familiar 
statements. But the truth is, I haven’t had that conversation before, 
because I haven’t heard that statement from that person before. Even 
though some statements are very common, different people mean very 
different things by them. A recent conversation I had with a hotel 
shuttle driver named “Mark” reminded me that while I may have heard the 
same words before, I hadn’t heard his story before. I think there’s a 
lesson you can learn from this situation that will help you have better 
dialogues with pro-choice people.


                                 I was in town to speak at a conference 
when Mark picked me up, and after we exchanged some pleasantries, he 
asked me what I do for a living.
