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.

Students for Life of America: it didn’t have to end like this

The Giver

Almost every student in the past decade has read The Giver. For some, reading the book was just another assignment but once we began reading, we couldn’t put it down. The Giver
 is about a young man named Jonas who lives in a future dystopian 
America where “Sameness” is the law and emotions have been eradicated. 
Jonas has been given the daunting task of taking on all the memories 
from the past and while doing so, begins to see through the veil of 
“Sameness”. Not only does he begin to feel, he begins to see that there 
is a need for a rebellion against the State.

The Giver 
will go down as one of the turning points in our ongoing efforts to 
protect the most vulnerable in our society. This movie beautifully 
articulates the dignity of the gift of life. Our pro-life generation has
 grown up reading The Giver; now we have the chance to experience it and share its inspiring themes with our friends and families. It’s my hope that The Giver inspires this generation to take a courageous stand like Jonas.

The Giver opens in theaters on August 15th. Purchase tickets here. 
It Didn't Have to End Like This

Hollywood
 icon Robin Williams tragically took his own life earlier this week. He 
was suffering from severe depression – which isn’t uncommon and should 
be taken seriously and dealt with immediately to prevent such horrible 
endings.

To those of you suffering from depression, there IS help
 and there are people who want to help you. Unfortunately Robin Williams
 isn’t the first celebrity to take his own life due to depression. There
 are many others. And there are still others who aren’t in the spotlight
 that do it every single day. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

We need to not only talk about mental illness but also take steps to help those who are suffering. For more information, visit www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

Please share this post.You never know who is suffering silently from depression but is too afraid or too embarrassed to ask for help.

Surrogacy Diminishes Life

Studies
 have suggested that many couples who have trouble conceiving a child 
naturally have turned to surrogacy in recent years. Either by using 
their own sperm and eggs or those that have been donated, they pay a 
woman to carry their child to term and then claim the child as their own
 – in most circumstances.

Last year a surrogate was offered an 
extra $10,000 to abort the baby she was carrying for a couple because an
 ultrasound showed the baby was going to be born with severe 
disabilities. It’s an incredible story where the biological parents 
demanded the surrogate have a late-term abortion and the surrogate 
fleeing the state to somewhere where she could have the child and place 
it for adoption.

This is only the tip of the iceberg when it 
comes to surrogacy. Babies are treated as pure consumerism – easily 
created and easily discarded if unwanted.
