Prolife

I read a news article today and don't even know how to comment on it.

When does a baby become a life?

At Creative Minority Report, they detail a story about a hospital accidentally throwing out a baby that they claim was stillborn. So, even after being born, this child was not a life worth cherishing. The family feels otherwise. Wouldn't you?

At what point is a baby worth protecting, cherishing? After his heartbeats? When he looks like a baby? His due date? The point at which the baby becomes a life is something no one in the pro-abortion community will declare. Why not? I dare say they feel it is unfashionable. At what point do we say enough is enough?

What say you?

Please join me in 9-days of prayer for the "Freedom of Choice Act." This is a proposed federal law to nullify virtually all federal and state limitations on abortion. This includes removing bans on partial-birth abortion as well as bans on government funding for abortions. In addition, parental consent laws in the states would be abolished.

The prayer novena begins January 11 and concludes January 20, the day Obama will be sworn in. He has said he will sign the FOCA as soon as he can. We pray that this will not come to pass.

What say you?

Novena details - A "novena" is simply 9-days of prayer. In this specific novena, the faithful are asked to pray a rosary each day as well as fast for a few of the days. If you are not Catholic, please join us anyway and offer up your own prayers each day.
