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.

Bishop: Catholic Church Will Defy Obama Abortion-HHS Mandate
The new Catholic bishop in Lincoln, Nebraska says the Catholic Church will openly defy the Obama-HHS mandate that compels religious groups and businesses to pay for drugs that may cause abortions.

From the story: The Catholic Church is not going to back down, said Denver Auxiliary Bishop James Conley, who will start as the new bishop of the Lincoln Diocese on Nov. 20. We are never going to compromise our principles. We will defy it and face the consequences. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/12/bishop-catholic-church-will-defy-obama-abortion-hhs-mandate/

Abortion Practitioner Faces Probe, Botched 35-Week Abortion
The state medical board in New Mexico is putting together a hearing to potentially discipline abortion practitioner Shelley Sella, who botched an abortion at 35 weeks of pregnancy that landed the woman in the hospital with a ruptured uterus.

Black Legislator: Obama s Given Us Nothing But Abortion
The revelations about Attorney General Eric Holder and his connection to an abortion clinic are becoming worse as new information has come to light showing he failed to disclose his wife s co-owning of an abortion business.

Just before the election, Human Events broke the news that Holder s wife and sister-in-law co-own, through a family trust, own the building where a controversial abrotion practitioner operates. The Holder family transferred ownership to a family trust in 2009, eight months after President Barack Obama s inauguration and a deed names Holder s wife and sister-in-law as trustees. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/09/eric-holder-failed-to-disclose-wifes-abortion-clinic/

I Was Raped and Left Pregnant at 17, But I Love My Baby
I ve been there. Not Todd Akin. Not Richard Mourdock. And certainly not their critics who sanctimoniously imagine that they know what pregnant sexual assault victims really want and need.

As my story shows, all too often, our self-appointed champions do more harm than good. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/12/i-was-raped-and-left-pregnant-at-17-but-i-love-my-baby/

The Election is Over But the Pro-Life Movement is Not
If you re anything like me and my coworkers at Right to Life of Central California, you re still processing what was a very disheartening election.
