40 Days For Life: DAY 8: We Hit a Nerve

Last night I was interviewed by Bill O'Reilly (video coming soon) on What to Say When 2: Your Proven Guide in the New Abortion Landscape.

But, as expected, the vast media coverage hasn't all been praise. Some has been both critical and comical.

In Scotland's Bella Caledonia, Gemma Clark said What to Say When 2 "offers a morbidly fascinating insight into the mindset of its authors," and "unbelievably...becomes even more unhinged and disrespectful as it progresses." The review is gold.

Clark didn't attempt much fact-checking--perhaps because the book is bolstered by more than 30 pages of documented supporting evidence.

Instead of an evidence-based rebuttal, the bulk of her review is tangent-filled foot-stomping.

This is the exact sort of review we hoped to see from the pro-abortion left, because it shows how much the abortion industry fears basic truths.

Clark's review relied on an all-star lineup of insults, including: "dangerous," "unhinged," "unacceptable," "disturbing," "abhorrent," "exhausting," and "disgusting," to name a few.

Columbus, Georgia

Staring down Hurricane Helene, many 40 Days for Life campaigns in the southeastern United States delayed or suspended their vigils until it was safe to be outdoors again.

Prayer warriors in Columbus, Georgia, stood vigil in weather that turned nasty well before the full force of the storm hit.

"[Here's] Ann prayer-walking in the blowing rain today," shared Columbus 40 Days for Life leader Angie.

Please keep all those impacted by the hurricane in prayer as they begin the recovery process.

Zalaegerszeg, Hungary

Zalaegerszeg is holding its second 40 Days for Life campaign. János, the local leader, said that the community is taking notice.

"Passersby turned toward us shyly, but with an inquisitive look," he reported. Two people even joined vigil participants in prayer as they walked by the vigil.

The faith and love of 40 Days for Life participants also positioned them to console a mother grieving the loss of her adult child.

Four cities across Hungary now host 40 Days for Life vigils.

They were overjoyed at seeing the star.

--Matthew 2:10

Jesus, you are the divine physician and the source of all life. Bless doctors, nurses, and health care professionals so that they might always protect the gift of life. Help them to see you in every patient. As you heal our souls, let them heal our bodies. Amen.

For life,

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.”
