In England, following an abortion at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, a 75
year old man in England mailed a picture of the aborted baby to the
hospital administrator, complaining about the hospital's approval of
such abortions. The administrator reported this to the district attorney
and the man was convicted of sending "offensive materials through the
mail" and was sentenced to a month in jail and fined 500 English pounds.
Not satisfied with that, this same hospital administrator took the man
off the list for a hip replacement and denied him any further routine
medical treatment. Did You Know ?

An abortionist in Kansas, Dr. George Tiller, called an ambulance when 19
year old Christin Gilbert developed complications during her abortion.
Christin died of complications from this abortion. But Tiller had told
the ambulance not to turn on its lights or sirens in order not to raise
suspicion or bad publicity as it came to his abortion clinic. Such is
the concern of abortionists for their patients.

An unborn baby begins to breathe at 11 to 12 weeks, or about 3 months. He
breathes fluids steadily and continuously until birth. This breathing
develops his organs of respiration. He does not drown by breathing fluids
within his mother's womb because he obtains his oxygen from the umbilical
cord. At birth when he is exposed to air he begins to breathe air for the
first time and will do so for the remainder of his life.

In 2004, Pope John Paul II said that "the administration of food and water,
even when provided by artificial means, always represents a natural means
of preserving life, not a medical act. Death by starvation or dehydration
is the only possible outcome as a result of their withdrawal ... and ends
up becoming, if done willingly and knowingly, euthanasia by omission."

Abortionists tell women the following lies:
--that there is no baby growing in their womb, only a blob of tissue.--that
the fetus will feel no pain in an abortion even though scientific evidence
shows that human fetus as young as 8 weeks suffers pain in an
abortion.--that there are no health risks associated with an abortion
though studies show a link between abortion and breast cancer, infertility,
ectopic pregnancies, later premature births, stress disorder, and
suicide.--Finally, they withhold the fact that every abortion kills a
child!

Treatments using adult stem cells have now repaired patients' damaged
livers and regenerated an injured part of a paraplegic's spine, allowing
her to regain movement in her legs. By contrast, no such cures (or even
human clinical trials) have resulted from the highly touted embryonic stem
cell research program. Promises, yes -- treatments, no!

Compared to women with no history of induced abortion, those women with one
prior abortion had a 144% higher risk for physical abuse of a later child.
By contrast, women who experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth had no such
enhanced risk. This result is explained as emotional problems and
unresolved grief responses associated with the abortion, thereby instilling
anger, a common symptom of grief.

In the RU 486 abortion drug process, women take two pills to complete the
abortion. The first drug deprives the unborn child of the nourishment she
normally receives during the pregnancy from her mother. That kills the
developing baby. The second drug causes contractions and induces labor,
expelling the baby's body in a miscarriage.

The U.S Bishops "Living the Gospel of Life"(1998) says:
"No public official can responsibly advocate for or actively support
direct attacks on innocent human life."
Archbishop John Myers of Newark, NJ says:
"There is no right more fundamental than the right to be born and reared
with all the dignity the human person deserves. On this grave issue, public
officials cannot hold themselves excused from their duties especially if
they claim to be Catholic. Every faithful Catholic must be not only
'personally opposed' to abortion, but must live that opposition in his or
her actions."

Why are Catholics so silent in the pro-life cause? This silence in the
presence of our enemies only encourages them. Our fearing to speak out is
the principal ally of our enemies. As Pope John Paul II said, "Using fear
to enforce silence is the first goal in the strategy of the wicked."

Pope John Paul II said the following, "Abortion and euthanasia are crimes
which no human law can claim to legitimize. There is no obligation in
conscience to obey such laws; instead there is a grave and clear obligation
to oppose them by conscientious objection. The right to life means the
right to be born and then continue to live until one's natural end."

Pope John Paul II said the following about the culture of death: "It is a

human life in the womb as a legitimate and protected choice, or the ending
of a feeble life as acceptable, as practical and even humane."

Here are more changes that often occur in the life of a young girl who has
had an abortion:
(1) Eating--becomes grossly overweight, "No man will find me attractive now
so I won't have any more problems"
(2) Motherhood -- can't stand to be around pregnant women or babies; feels
unworthy to have other children; may abuse future children
(3) Marriage -- lets people walk all over her; hates the man who got her
pregnant; continually fights during a later marriage.

Some people think that if abortion is legal then it must be all right. If abortion is legal,
then women and men don't have to be careful about their sex lives. If abortion is legal, then parents,
teachers, counselors and friends feel no hesitancy in pushing a desperate young girl into taking the
life of her unborn child. How sad that they confuse legality with morality!

Often Christians object to looking at pictures of aborted babies, considering such pictures
to be indecent. They get angry at those who are showing the; pictures instead of getting angry
at those who are killing the babies. By this; distortion of anger, they are just covering up
the guilt of their own non-involvement.

that "the physician providing an abortion by definition sets out with the purpose
of performing a procedure that he knows will kill the; fetus, and that does kill the fetus.

When the time comes as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment,
the final judgment, it will be a terrible moment of loneliness. You will
have no advocates; you are there alone standing before God and a terror
will rip through your soul like nothing you can imagine. But I think that
those people in the pro-life movement will not be alone. There will be a
chorus of tiny voices that have never been heard in this world but are
beautifully heard in the next world and they will plead for everyone who
has been in this movement. They will say to God,"Spare him because he loved
us," and God will look at you and not ask "Did you succeed" but "Did you
try?"

Adult stem cells derived from bone marrow have been used to stop the
progression of Alzheimer's disease. The disease occurs when plaque builds up
in the brain and destroys neurons, or nerve cells. The bone marrow stem
cells successfully attacked and digested the plaque, thereby protecting the
neurons. While this treatment cannot prevent the disease, it offers hope of
slowing the disease or perhaps reversing it.

Bernard Nathanson, a reformed abortionist who helped make the case for
legalized abortion in 1973 by claiming that there were 5,000 to 10,000
deaths of women per year from back alley abortions, later said, "I confess
that I knew that these figures were totally false. But in the morality of
our revolution (to promote abortion) these were useful figures that were
widely accepted by the public, so why go out of our way to correct them
with honest statistics?"

A typical argument used by the pro-choice crowd to justify the abortion of
babies is that a human fetus is not a person because it lacks the ability
to think rationally, perceive or express conscious emotions, or interact
meaningfully. However, this same definition could be used to make a
non-person out of (1) a young child (2) a sleeping adult, (3) an
anesthetized patient, or(4) certain disabled persons.

cells and there have been more than 250 adult stem cell clinical trials.

Even though Planned Parenthood uses the RU486 pill for chemical abortions,
its New York medical director Hakim Elahi stated that of some 43,000
abortions by this method, 141 women required some surgical intervention
anyway, 49 were treated in the ER for heavy bleeding, 20 needed blood
transfusions, and 7 were admitted to hospitals for infection. Mr. Elahi
further stated that, if he received such a poor report from a surgical
abortion clinic, he would recommend that it be immediately shut down.

The human embryo is fully programmed, and has the active disposition, to
develop himself or herself to the next mature stage of a human being. And
unless prevented by disease, violence or a hostile environment, the embryo
will actually do so. None of the changes that occur to the embryo after
fertilization, for as long as he or she survives, generates a new direction
of growth."

A woman in South Carolina has been convicted of smoking crack cocaine
which led to the death of her baby. Paradoxically, if she had an abortion
to kill the baby, she would have gotten off free. This has been the second
case where an infant still in the womb has been considered a person with
rights that deserve protection. Why couldn't it be every case?

"The Pill" works two ways: first, by preventing fertilization and if that
fails, second, by preventing implantation AFTER a new human being has been
created, causing an early chemical abortion that is usually unrecognized by
the mother. The Pill is an abortifacient; it is murder, pure and simple.

From the moment of conception, an unborn child's DNA is as complete as
an adult's. At 3 weeks, an unborn child has a heartbeat and her own
blood supply. At 6 weeks she has measurable brain waves. Yet, in this
country, she can be killed by choice through all 9 months of pregnancy
for any reason or no reason whatever. 1 out of 4 unborn children are
killed before birth in this country. Since Roe v. Wade, over 45
million unborn children have died by a choice not their own.

unconditionally. Yet 45 million children never had that chance, and
unfortunately that number is growing every year.

When does a baby, the unborn baby begin to feel pain? The child starts to
feel pain at about 8 weeks. And this is how you can tell. If you stick a
newly born baby with a pin in the hand, he opens his mouth to cry and he
pulls away his hand. If you stick an 8 weeks old fetus in the palm of his
hand he opens his mouth to cry. There is no air there so you can’t hear
it and he pulls back his hand, the same reaction, he begins to cry already
in the womb.

Testimony regarding abortion in U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Wisconsin Case No. 98-C-0305-S reads as follows: "When you're
doing a dismemberment D&E (abortion) usually the last part to be removed is
the skull itself and it's floating free inside the uterine cavity ...like a
ping pong ball floating around... Finally ... a nip is made out of some
area of the skull that allows it to start to decompress. And then once that
happens typically the skull is brought out in fragments rather than as a
unified piece, the result being that sharp bony edges of the skull are
exposed."

Once you decide some lives are not worth living or not important, then you
have journeyed to a new place where you get to decide who lives and who
dies. A person who, because of illness, handicap, or, more simply, just by
existing, compromises the well being or lifestyle of those who are more
favored, tends to be looked upon as an enemy to be resisted or eliminated.
