Information on Abortion

      Abortion is the intentional and deliberate killing of an unborn baby.  In sections 58-63 of The Gospel of Life, Pope John Paul II makes among many statements, the point that the lack of outrage over abortion is a clear sign of a dangerous moral crisis.  Abortion has been referred to as “an unspeakable crime” by the Second Vatican Council and it is one of the few offenses, often unknown even to some Catholics), that carries the penalty of automatic excommunication.

    The statistics of daily, yearly and to-date abortions are staggering. (See abortion counter) In the words of Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, “The solution demands that we lift high the truth.  Truth is on the side of life.  Truth and life go together.  Let us proclaim the truth that the preborn child is a human person from the moment of conception; that love for the woman demands love for her child; that there are concrete, life-giving alternatives to abortion; that there are negative physical, psychological, and spiritual consequences of abortion; that choice never takes priority over life itself; and that freedom is found by submitting to the moral truth that comes from God rather than by trying to be God ourselves.   

     Ultimately, we save the world from the bondage of abortion and every other sin by lifting Christ  high.  ‘If you continue in my Word, you are truly My disciples and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free’ (John 8:31-32).”

We meet at the parking lot of Centenary and Rutherford across from the Meadows Museum and walk together to the side of 210 Kings Highway to Hope Medical Clinic for Women.  Please join us in our powerful, spiritual crusade for Life.  It does make a difference!
