DEACON FOR LIFE: History won't forget them

History won't forget them

I’ve been honored to hold many babies saved from abortion at the last minute. In a culture of death, there is simply nothing like it.

At 40 Days for Life, we celebrate the lives of those saved from abortion--and will continue to do so until abortion ends.

But the reality is that as we stand in prayer and solidarity at EVERY 40 Days for Life vigil, we stand in prayer and solidarity, we witness far more babies who are lost in a barbaric surgery than are saved from abortion.

Today, we are blessed to announce that we are honoring all those lost to abortion at the 40 Days for Life Memorial to the Unborn, located at the place where this campaign started: the now-closed Planned Parenthood in Bryan/College Station, Texas.

This memorial will honor the lost and call the living to action.

It will be dedicated in February of 2020. You can honor a lost loved one, family member, miscarried child, or baby lost to abortion with a memorial plaque by visiting:

40daysforlife.com/memorial

Reserve your plaque by December 1 to ensure it is ready for the February 2020 dedication.

By the victory that Jesus Christ won on Calvary, this campaign has gone from this location in Texas to 855 cities in 61 countries.

God has used this effort to save over 16,400 lives, close 104 abortion facilities, and help 191 abortion workers leave their jobs.

As we just completed the largest campaign ever in 505 cities, we will be reporting the blessings, trials, and results of this effort in the coming weeks. With 2020 approaching, there is much work to be done.

Right now, we are, sadly, in the year of infanticide as many show their true disregard of innocent life in the womb, God's most precious and sacred gift.

If you feel led to be part of this mission by supporting this Memorial to the Unborn, please visit:

Our hope is that this memorial honors them and gives us resolve to pray, fast, and work until the injustice of abortion becomes a dark moment in human history.

May God bless your family,

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
