                                        Week in Review
                                    

Our Lord told us that what we’ve heard in secret we need to shout from the rooftops. We begin our Week in Review today revealing some truths that were spoken quietly in California but need to be repeated loudly so everyone in America will know.

Jim Sedlak has been interviewed multiple times since Fox News discovered that Planned Parenthood improperly received $80 million in federal stimulus money. Sedlak has appeared in multiple articles as an authority on the subject.

Social media companies’ bias against pro-life organizations has been apparent for over a decade. We’ve seen our YouTube videos suspiciously yanked and reinstated, not to mention the shutting down of our Pinterest account.

As abortion continues to take the lives of hundreds of thousands of preborn children of God, you are invited to join a truly holy activity that has brought many victories through the centuries and could end abortion here in the United States.

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.”
