Time to End the Unjust Institution of Abortion
By Fr. Gerald E. Murray:
"True patriotism is not blind to the failings of one’s country. ... Pro-life Americans are grateful for all the progress that has been made over the last 50 years to protect the right to life of our innocent unborn brothers and sisters. This progress is owing to the efforts of scores of citizens who correctly maintain that the Founders of our country did not form a union of states rooted firmly in principles of justice and freedom with the intention that one category of people, namely those residing in their mother’s wombs, could be legally killed."
By Jason Morgan:
"I have a cousin who was born with a severe mental handicap and has been institutionalized since infancy. At the end of June, my cousin—let’s call him Toby—turned fifty. I don’t think any physician who examined him expected him to live to ten let alone all these years. Every day of his life has been, in that sense, a miracle. ... But for me [his] joy was a catalyst for a sadness that would penetrate deeper than I could have imagined."
How We Neglect Pregnant Women's Mental Health
From the Spring issue of the Human Life Review
By Mary Rose Somarriba:
"Never mind that the New York Times found that a number of medically prescribed prenatal tests show false positives for genetic abnormalities 85 percent of the time. Never mind that this man was also the father of my three older children, all born without [Cystic Fibrosis], making the risk factor seem slim. I couldn’t imagine listening to worries about a possible congenital disease and terminating one of these three sweethearts in the womb. ... But I was alarmed at the pressure I felt from the sonogram OBGYN to consider aborting my wanted child."
Don't Go Tell It on the Mountain
By Diane Moriarty:
"The lofty hope of the pro-life community to win hearts and minds after its big legal win in Dobbs has met its own inflection point, its own 'Where the rubber meets the road' moment. ... Somehow, we [pro-life and pro-choice] have to start talking to each other.”
By Fr. David Poecking:
"Many prolifers are already engaged in heroic efforts to help mothers in distress. ...These are prolifers of extravagance par excellence. Close behind are those who provide effective encouragement to mothers considering abortion, supporting them through the process of arranging for adoption, or otherwise helping to secure the lives of their unborn children. ... The crucified Jesus invites all of us to follow him—extravagantly, heedlessly, even comically."
Supreme Court Rejects Challenge to FDA Abortion Drug Approval
By Madeline Fry Schultz:
"According to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, medication abortions made up 63% of abortions last year. While six in 10 women who end their pregnancies do so with pills that are touted as a simple and safe 'solution,' these pills are not as safe as proponents would like women to believe."
