From the blogs and elsewhere:
A bill has passed in the OK Senate and is on its way to the floor of the House. It would…
… create the Use of Force for the Protection of the Unborn Act… [and] make it crystal clear that…women can use lethal force to protect the life of their child in those cases [of domestic violence].
National statistics show 240k pregnant women are victims of domestic violence each year, many suffering subsequent miscarriage. Under this legislation, a woman would be legally justified in using fatal force if she believed the attacker to be threatening her unborn child.
Imagine the implications this might have on abortion!…
St. James has only a few more scenes to shoot to complete Sarah’s Choice – scheduled to release this fall….
St. James portrays Sarah – a career-minded, single woman who gets pregnant and is faced with a life-changing choice.
A passionate supporter of the pro-life and abstinence movements, St. James is also recording a pro-life song to debut with the movie.
“I feel it’s an important film with a godly message that I am praying will profoundly touch lives,” she says.
The school instituted new health care policies in order to “comply with the Catholic Church’s teaching on life.” The new directive for the student clinic at USF’s St. Mary’s Medical Center states:
In keeping with Catholic tradition and teachings, voluntary termination of pregnancy will not be performed at St. Mary’s Hospital and referrals for abortion will not be given to a student by USF Student Health Clinic staff.
Furthermore, “contraceptive services, in all forms, will not be provided.”
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
“University of San Francisco, a private, Jesuit university, has changed its policy on abortion referrals through student health service and will now send students to pro-life pregnancy and counseling centers…contraceptive services, in all forms, will not be provided”
St Ignatius of Loyola is proud.
Three positive stories! Yeah!
I’m so glad that people are finally starting to listen about the dangers that surround pregnant women. A bill with a heart to protect women and the preborn! Hooray!
This is very important. Many times it is during a pregnancy that physical abuse escalates or a man who has been verbally and emotionally abusing his wife or girlfriend begins to physically abuse her. Pregnancy can be one of THE most dangerous times in the life of an abuse victim.
