“Selective reduction” killing more twins, triplets by abortion

Parental preference should never take precedence over the right to life of the unborn child.” He is absolutely correct. Why are parents choosing to forgo any “inconvenience” that twins might cause them and instead, abort a child they clearly chose to conceive.

Women Hurt by Abortion Call on Planned Parenthood to Show Women Their Sonograms

Women Hurt by Abortion Call on Planned Parenthood and All Texas Abortionists to Show Women Their Sonograms

English: fetus sonogram

Image via Wikipedia

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. 2, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Texas Women hurt by abortion will be gathering in front of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility, on January 3, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. at 104 Babcock, San Antonio, Texas, to protest the abortionists' failure to show women their sonograms before obtaining their supposedly "informed consent" to abortion. How can you be fully informed when your doctor won't tell you the truth or show you a sonogram? 
The women who will be standing outside the abortion facility are women who were not told the true nature of abortion by their abortionists and who were deeply harmed by their abortionists' failure to disclose the true nature of abortion. They were not shown the sonograms, thus did not give fully informed consent, and thus were hurt by abortion. 
"I wish I would have had the opportunity to see an ultrasound, or information about fetal development, before my abortion at age 16. There are no words to describe the amount of pain, guilt, and trauma I experienced when I saw pictures of fetal development two years later. I was horrified that the "products of conception" and "tissue" I had "removed from my uterus" had had precious little hands and feet, and a beating heart. I felt like a monster. And I felt betrayed by the medical professionals I had trusted." Lisa Skowron from San Antonio 

Myra Myers says, "Am I really better off today - for having been uninformed, about the life that was in my womb? Ignorance did not make me innocent of the death of my child. Ignorance does not give us a choice. Only the truth does. It is a given that patients are to be fully informed - not denied their patient rights. In the case of abortion, there are two patients: a woman and a child. The woman has the right to know - she has become a mother. After the abortion, I was still a mother - only now I was the mother of a dead child! Ignorance did not make me innocent but an accomplice in the murder of my child. Without being informed, I made the tragic poor-choice that resulted in the grief of losing my child and his descendants. Without being informed, I experienced the guilt of being responsible for the losses. Without being informed, I did not have the truth - that could have made me innocent!" 
"I had an abortion in Houston. I was not informed by the doctor that I was pregnant with a b
aby. I was told I just had a blob of tissue by Planned Parenthood after they did my pregnancy test and then referred me to a nearby abortion clinic. I was not given the option of hearing my baby's heartbeat. Had I been given the opportunity of seeing my baby and hearing the heartbeat, I can assure you that I would not have chosen abortion... How can anyone believe that abortion should be legal after seeing a baby living in the womb of its mother on

 a sonogram and hearing the heartbeat of that baby?" Nona Ellington, of Houston, TX. 

"Medical professionals may want to prevent a woman from seeing an ultrasound before her abortion, but they can't prevent her from seeing one in the future. Many post-abortive women have described the guilt and devastation they felt years after their abortions, when they saw, during an ultrasound, the beating heart of a child the same gestational age as the one they had aborted. How many women in unplanned pregnancies would feel guilty seeing an ultrasound before abortion and how many would simply have a change of heart? What a tragedy if we don't allow them the freedom and opportunity to find out." Lisa (Facilitator of Post-Abortion Recovery in San Antonio, TX)

"HAPPY NEW YEAR: YOU CAN NOW BE DETAINED INDEFINITELY."


All day, the homepage of The Huffington Post -- one of the highest traffic news properties on the Web -- has had this mega-sized headline story running: "HAPPY NEW YEAR: YOU CAN NOW BE DETAINED INDEFINITELY."
The terrifying NDAA is mainstream now, and it was signed by President Obama, making it the law of the land. No one is safe now.
Luckily, it's no longer just me and a handful of bloggers and reporters shouting about it. Now America knows what has been done.
This video is a good introduction to the NDAA and how it will impact your everyday life, I don't know who produced/edited it, but it is going viral this evening (more than 400,000 views on YouTube):

Your Weekly Reflection in Prayer 1/1/2012

Check out this website I found at support.cmmb.org

"The Lord bless you and keep you!
The Lord let His face shine upon you,
and be gracious to you!
The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!"

Numbers 6:24-26 Priestly Blessing
January 1, 2012
New Year's Day

Dear CMMB Supporter,

The coming of the New Year inevitably leads us to look back and look forward. Looking back, we should hand over the past year to the Lord for His safe keeping. May He remember the good we have done, and forgive and forget the not-so-good that we have done.

Then we look ahead to the New Year with joy and hope. There may be difficult times ahead, but we are assured that the Lord God – Emmanuel born of Mary – will always remain with us. So we pray for God’s blessing in this New Year for us, our families and friends, indeed for all of God’s children.

In 2012, CMMB celebrates one hundred years of service to those in need. As we look back and also look forward, we take comfort in knowing that the Lord God is there to guide us in all things.

All praise and glory are Yours, Father of heaven and earth, Lord of all ages:
You have brought us to the end of another year in Your service.

As we begin another year in Your service, let Your Son be our leader and Your Spirit our guide, Your Word a lamp to our feet and strength for our hearts.

Help us to work for Your honor and glory
And for the salvation of all Your people.

Rev. Peter Schineller, S.J., CMMB Board of Directors
