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.

The media is a joke

Dear Deacon John,

Last week, hundreds of thousands turned out again for the annual March for Life in Washington, DC, to pray and march for an end to abortion.

President Trump became the first president to deliver a live video address at the March for Life. But despite all of that, the Women's March the next day in DC received THREE times the coverage.

This isn't surprising. But it reaffirms that if we are not a voice for the most defenseless in our culture, they will have no voice. And be encouraged! This March for Life seemed the largest that I've ever attended.

This week ... head to the West Coast, where 40 Days for Life will be awarding its first-ever $4,040 college scholarship this Saturday from the stage at the Walk for Life West Coast in San Francisco.

If you can't be there in person, you can watch the presentation live on EWTN. Find EWTN on your cable or satellite system ... or stream the event online on the EWTN website.

In addition to the Walk for Life, 40 Days for Life is hosting, speaking at, and taking part in several large pro-life events – and we'd love to see you! Here’s where we’ll be:
