Priests for Life has released an excellent new ad, “Everyone against abortion please raise your hand.” On YouTube less than 2 weeks, it is closing in on 50k page views. This is the sort of ad that will move one off the “pro-choice” fence. Hurts to watch.

It does hurt to watch.
I am so sorry baby David. I am praying that your short
life and horrifying death stir us to action.
brings tears to my eyes…
They ran that on Drudge for a few days last week.
I think Fr. Pavone is right – America won’t stop abortion until America sees abortion.
It is time to abolish abortion.
Wow. I’m going to go wipe my eyes now…
Okay. This morning on my way to work I was (as I always am) listening to conservative talk radio. It’s the only news outlet that will report on what is actually happening instead of what they want you to think is happening…so anyway…I just feel completely depressed right now. The government is spinning out of control and is controlled (I use that term loosely) by a bunch of liars and thieves. Abortion is reportedly lower than it has been in awhile, which is good, but with this new president, how long will that be the case?? He’s basically in love with anything that kills an unborn human’s life…It all seems so futile and I just wish I could make a difference somewhere for someone. Right now one of my friendships is strained due to this issue. My friend had an abortion between her two children, and gets extremely defensive about this topic. She says people (prolifers) should stay out of her uterus, that no one understands the needs of her family like she does. I don’t understand, after having her son, how she could have had an abortion. I know I’m rambling, but this ad just brought so much emotion to the surface…I’ll go now. I’ll be praying for these precious children, that their mothers learn better before they make this mistake.
Please everyone post it on your facebook/twitter accounts.
Becca – may I suggest something to comfort you?
These days are like the dark hours before the Civil War, when the nation was in a turmoil because despite efforts to educate, many refused to see the humanity of all men, despite their differences in skin color. With Dred Scott, SCOTUS declared men are property – incapable of being called persons and citizens of the US.
Roe vs Wade is the Dred Scott of our day.
The dark and violent storms that rolled over our nation to release blacks from their bondage brought about a greater good. Our country has just demonstrated that the cause to which men bled and died did indeed find hope fulfilled.
No one can call a black man a non-person because of his skin color, but they do so because of his age.
A day is coming when no child will suffer David’s fate because someone decided he was not a human being deserving of the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This is not a fight of skin color, or age. This is a war about the intrinsic value of all human beings being fought against death itself. Our Civil War was but one action in this struggle.
It is not yet over, but there is Hope.
The battle has already been won.
Chris, thank you so much for that. I am going to copy and save what you wrote so that I can read it on the days when I feel completely overwhelmed.
That’s very kind and comforting of you to say, Mr. Arsenault.
His name is David?
Then the massacre of David and his brothers and sisters won’t be in vain. There is something, which I cannot call to explain, sagacious about innocence- the wisdom to know about love, the wisdom to know nothing about intolerance. David doesn’t know that intolerance for him claimed his arms, legs, head, and torso. Try to forgive. And, if we learn anything from David and this very long December, then it ought to be that of all things, people have got to be free to experience life and that those endowed with life must learn to live all that they have been given by God.
This won’t last for much longer. It can’t. God will do something.
Vannah,

Becca,
Please stay with your friend through it all. I know it’s hard. She is denying her grief and trying to justify what she has done and angry that she knows what she has done. Abortion promises freedom but never delivers. She knows. Deep down she knows, just as we all know.
I will be praying for her and for you. Please email me if you want to talk further.
