Tribulation Times
(2Ch 7:14) And my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.
"Abortion is the Antichrist's demonic parody of the Eucharist. That's why it uses the same holy words, "This is my body," with the blasphemous opposite meaning."
— Peter Kreeft.
EXCERPT STREAM.ORG: The One Thing We Can Know for Certain
Abortion is the killing of an innocent human being. This truth is more certain than the existence of God, which requires some abstract inferences, and the weighing of evidence. There’s no need for that in the womb. Every woman knows what it means to be pregnant. Most animals know it, and most of the higher mammals make sacrifices and take risks to protect their young. Even alligators, primitive creatures from the age of the dinosaurs, care for their young. To do otherwise is evil, if the word has any meaning.
When we see the ejected, mutilated remains of unborn children, we know what we’re looking at. We see tiny, cancelled faces and delicate, severed limbs, and it makes us weep. When we learn that doctors are stealing those organs to perform monstrous experiments, we are outraged and want to hang them. That’s how the human heart works.
THE PILLAR: What the Church teaches about abortion laws
CNA: Roe v. Wade: 12 things to know about the leaked abortion opinion
VIDEO: What Happens If Roe Is Overturned?
Eric Sammons: Also at this time we should not forget the many pro-life heroes who have been battling abortion for almost 50 years—longtime warriors like Joan Andrews Bell, Joe Scheidler, Jack Willke, Randall Terry, and Monica Miller, as well as the newer wave of pro-life activists like Lila Rose, David Daleiden, and Abby Johnson. And of course we should remember the countless and nameless soldiers who have prayed and counseled in front of abortion clinics across the country for years. Their work—our work—is not over, but we should be grateful for all those who worked to stop child-killing and soften the hearts of a hardened country to the evil of abortion.
We should also not expect the abortion-crazed Left to take this quietly. Abortion is the chief sacrament of their demonic cause, and they will stop at nothing—nothing—to keep it legalized. If Roe and Casey are truly overturned in June, we should expect civil unrest in the summer of 2022 that will make the summer of 2020 look like a picnic. Expect attacks against the institution of the Supreme Court, and perhaps even against individual justices. While Catholics should rejoice at the news of the toppling of Roe, we should also prepare ourselves both spiritually and physically for the pro-abortion response.
EXCERPT PRIESTS FOR LIFE: Prayers that Supreme Court justices ready to overturn Roe v. Wade will stay the course
Father Frank Pavone, National Director, said: “The leak of this draft opinion in Dobbs strengthens its argument – reflected also in various briefs – that Roe and Casey have distorted other areas of the law and bent or broken longstanding legal doctrines and rules on which the Court has relied in all contexts other than abortion. For decades we’ve called it ‘the abortion distortion.’ And now we come to another manifestation of it regarding the well-preserved confidentiality of the very process by within the Court prepares its decisions.
“Indeed, abortion destroys everything it touches.
“I have read the draft opinion. Not only does it reverse Roe, it completely obliterates any claim to its Constitutionality, accuracy, and logic. And in regard to Casey, it completely jettisons the ‘undue burden’ standard and returns the court’s standard on abortion to a rational basis review.
“We remain optimistic that the Supreme Court will reverse Roe in the Dobbs case. But Supreme Court decisions are not communicated by leaks, especially those intended to intimidate the Justices. This is a moment when we should pray that the Justices who are ready to reverse Roe will stay the course and not be distracted or deterred. The decision needs to be based on the Constitution, not public pressure or confusion.”
