Trevino speaking @ Second Sunday, Life Chain, Vote Pro-Life, Wendy and Girl Scouts‏

Pro-Life Updates from Waco, Texas

From John Pisciotta, Director of Pro-Life Waco

1. Grace-filled conversion testimony for Second Sunday
2. Life Chain draws television press coverage.
3. Vote Pro-Life yard signs at voting site
4. Wendy’s election loss follows Girl Scout debacle
5. Get into Hometown Pro-Life Action

1. Grace-filled conversion testimony for Second Sunday Ramona Trevino, former manager of a Planned Parenthood abortion referral clinic will speak for Waco Second Sunday Pro-Life Gathering. St. Mary’s Parish Hall at 1424 Columbus Avenue. Ramona will speak at 1 p.m. following our noon hour meal. $3 for adults.  For three years Ramona managed the Planned Parenthood abortion referral/birth control facility in Sherman, TX (almost Oklahoma). Then in 2011, during a local 40 Days for Life campaign, Ramona saw the light and made one of the best decisions of her life by quitting Planned Parenthood. Soon the facility shut its doors. Wow! Ramona will share the story of her conversion. O yes, Ramona will be bringing a guest. She is pregnant with her fifth child. Ya'll come. Of course, a great meal will be served buffet style. In addition to the action-planning meeting, we will be celebrating the 90th birthday of a saintly woman who had a billboard truck named after her. Come and be a part of the inspiration and joy of this day. We will wrap things up by 2 p.m. 2. Life Chain draws television press coverage. Pro-Life Waco’s monthly Life Chain was very successful on November 2. The Waco Tribune-Herald included publicity on their local calendar of events. This brought a telephone call from a woman seeking involvement in the pro-life movement. Free publicity like this also lets folks in the community know they have friends, neighbors, and relatives who care deeply about the abortion holocaust. We decided to include our Vote Pro-Life yard signs. This brought out KCEN-TV, which produced a news segment on the election angle. Additionally, we enjoyed each other’s company from 2-3 p.m. on a nice fall day. 3. Vote Pro-Life yard signs at voting site Pro-Life Waco tried to do its part for the November election with a “Vote Pro-Life” campaign. The campaign included six billboards around the city. It also included yard signs at homes of pro-lifers and out at voting sites. The photo below was at the downtown Waco location for early voting. 4. Wendy’s election loss follows Girl Scout debacle You all probably know that pro-abortion State Senator Wendy Davis lost in a 20-point landslide on Tuesday in her bid to become governor of Texas. Her disappointing performance may have ended her political career. I do want you to remember one thing about Wendy Davis’ relationships in 2014. It was the Girl Scout USA approval of Wendy Davis in a GSUSA retweet that triggered the explosive Girl Scout cookie boycott of 2014 which was named Cookiecott 2014.   See article at   http://www.breitbart.com You can learn more about Cookiecott 2014 by going to prolifewaco.com   5.

Quotes Suitable For Framing: Abraham Lincoln

Donald R. McCarey
Catholic Stand

“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” This was their majestic interpretation of the economy of the Universe. This was their lofty, and wise, and noble understanding of the justice of the Creator to His creatures. [Applause.] Yes, gentlemen, to all His creatures, to the whole great family of man. In their enlightened belief, nothing stamped with the Divine image and likeness was sent into the world to be trodden on, and degraded, and imbruted by its fellows. They grasped not only the whole race of man then living, but they reached forward and seized upon the farthest posterity. They erected a beacon to guide their children and their children’s children, and the countless myriads who should inhabit the earth in other ages. Wise statesmen as they were, they knew the tendency of prosperity to breed tyrants, and so they established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, their posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began — so that truth, and justice, and mercy, and all the humane and Christian virtues might not be extinguished from the land; so that no man would hereafter dare to limit and circumscribe the great principles on which the temple of liberty was being built.”

–Abraham Lincoln, August 27, 1858

This should be a favorite quotation of all pro-lifers.  Let this be our response to the horrors of legal abortion as shockingly displayed in the Kermit Gosnell case.    As we do battle for the right to life of all those “stamped with the Divine image and likeness,” let us recall another quotation from Mr. Lincoln:  “Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.”

“Let us remember the words of the Second Vatican Council: From the moment of its conception, life must be guarded with the greatest care while abortion and infanticide are unspeakable crimes.”

–Pope Francis, April 4, 2014

Donald R. McCarey is a cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three and happily married for 30 years. Small town lawyer. President of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center. Easily amused as demonstrated by the fact that he blogs for amusement.

Urgent - We need your help to keep this ad on the Air!‏

Marie Tasy, Executive Director 
New Jersey Right to Life

As you may remember, the Democratic leadership in the Assembly scheduled Bill A 2270, the Physician Assisted Suicide Bill, for a vote last June. Thanks to your efforts, support for the bill fell a few votes short so the sponsor pulled the bill from the Board list at the end of a long session day.  Due to the recent publicity surrounding the tragic death of Brittany Maynard, forces who exploited her are now gearing up to try to get the NJ bill passed  before the end of the year.  The bill could get voted on as early as Thursday, November 13.    We are currently running a 60 second ad on 101.FM radio to ask listeners to call their legislators to vote No on A2270.

To hear the ad, click on the link here, then enter password: nopas.

We would like to keep this ad running through the end of this week and next week to have the maximum impact, but the ads are very costly and we cannot do this without your help.    Can you help us keep this ad on the air by making a contribution now?  You can call our office at 732 562 0562 to make a credit card contribution over the phone or you can make a contribution through our website here.

We wish to thank NJ Physicians Dr. Ana Gomes and Dr. Matthew Suh for taking time from their very busy schedules to lend their powerful voices to the ad. 

Please help us defeat this terribly flawed and misguided bill.  Please act Now!   Thank you.

The Child I Didn’t Adopt

Liz Curtis Faria
The Scary Mommy

It was something about the phrasing that got to me. Something about the cadence of his words, the staccato of his speech.

“Nobody loves me. Not even my mother who gave birth to me.”

It is an odd turn of phrase, isn’t it?

Not even my mother who gave birth to me.

He was buckled into the backseat of my Toyota, still too little to sit up front. At seven he had already moved more times than the total number of years he had been on the earth. And this time, like the times before it, he moved with his belongings in a trash bag. A suitcase, at least, would have added a small degree of dignity to the whole affair – to being “placed” in another and another and yet another foster home before reaching the 3rd grade. Trash bags break, you know. Trash bags can’t possibly support the contents of any life, and certainly not a life as fragile as this.

They break from the strain, eventually.

OBAMA 'USING FEDERAL LAW TO TARGET CHRISTIANS'

Purpose ' is to Discriminate Against Religious Organizations That Oppose Abortion'

by Bob Unruh

WND Faith

Obamacare has been challenged in court since it was launched, with charges that it is unconstitutional, violates religious rights, invades privacy and unlawfully orders consumers to purchase a product.

Now, a new lawsuit by four Christian institutions argues the Obama administration is using the law to attack religious groups that oppose the White House’s promotion of abortion.

The plaintiffs allege “the purpose” of Obamacare’s mandate that employers pay for abortion-causing contraception and abortion “is to discriminate against religious organizations.”

The complaint cites then-Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius comparing Obamacare opponents to “people who opposed civil rights legislation in the 1960s” and asserting that upholding the law requires the same action as was shown ‘in the fight against lynching and the fight for desegregation.’”

“FILTHY” ABORTION CLINIC “TREATS PATIENTS LIKE CATTLE” ACCORDING TO PATIENT REVIEWS

By Sarah Terzo
National Right to Life News Today


Best Women’s Medical Care, at thewomenschoice.com has an attractive, professional website.

 

Abortion care gets the biggest billing on the website, but they also offer other services. Their website says they offer “complete gynecological care and New York abortion clinic services in a comfortable, private and supportive environment.”

This clinic, located in Brooklyn, advertises birth control management, STD testing and treatment, and even prenatal care. They offer abortions up until twenty weeks.

There is nothing in the beautiful, professional looking website to indicate the horrible reviews they have received. On Yelp, the facility received one and a half stars out of five.

A registered nurse gave the following review.

As an ambulatory surgical procedure RN, please believe me when I tell you that this place is mere millimeters away from being shut down because of its lack of the very basics of safe patient care.

Cheryl Sullenger, Senior Policy Advisor for Operation Rescue to be Guest of “The Gospel of Life” Radio Maria Tonight

If an abortionist anywhere in the country operates a filthy, dangerous clinic, endangering the lives of mothers while killing their children, Operation Rescue will document every single abuse. When an abortionist loses his or her license in one state and sets up shop in another, Operation Rescue will be on their trail.

The organization headquartered in a former abortion mill in Wichita, Kansas, has one objective: To make America abortion-free.

Cheryl Sullenger, senior policy advisor for Operation Rescue, will be Janet Morana’s guest tonight, November 4 at 6 p.m. ET on “The Gospel of Life” on Radio Maria.

Cheryl and Operation Rescue President Troy Newman have just published a book outlining their successful strategy for closing clinics. “Abortion Free: Your Manual For Building a Pro-Life America One Community at a Time.”

In "Abortion Free," Troy and Cheryl recount many stories from the front lines in the battle for life and the successes they have had in closing these houses of horror. They walk pro-life advocates through the steps they took to closing down the clinic of one of the nation's most notorious late-term abortionist, Kansas's own George Tiller.

Operation Rescue also maintains the website AbortionDocs.org, a clearinghouse of information supplied by activists from all over the nation. The searchable data base places documents such as health code violations, abortion injuries, malpractice claims, disciplinary action, and criminal conduct at the fingertips of the public. 

Also joining Janet for the final segment of the show will be Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. Father Frank and Janet will discuss early results in today’s critical mid-term elections.

Anyone with a question for Janet, Cheryl or Father Frank is invited to call in during the show to 866-333-6279 to speak to them on the air. Those who would prefer not to be on the radio may email questions to info@gospeloflife.com

For a list of Radio Maria stations or to tune in to “Gospel of Life” on the Internet, go to http://radiomaria.us/the-gospel-of-life Tablet and smart phone users also can download a free Radio Maria app so they can listen to the show wherever they go.

The show will be rebroadcast at 2 a.m. ET Thursday and midnight ET on Sunday. All the shows are archived at priestsforlife.org/radiomaria.

AGAIN! STUDY DEMANDS WARNINGS ON ABORTION-BREAST CANCER LINK

By Bob Unruh
WND

For the second time in just months, a major study is ringing alarm bells not only about the connection between abortion and birth-control pills and breast cancer, one of the biggest killers of women in the U.S., but over the fact patients are not being adequately warned about the dangers they face in making those “choices.”

It was a study in the Linacre Quarterly by experts from St. Joseph’s Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Catholic Social Services in Lincoln, Nebraska, the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill that said informed consent is becoming a major issue.

“Research studies document a compounding of breast cancer risk factors for girls and young women that underscores the duty for full and accurate informed consent,” the study states, citing the horrifying statistics that have been revealed.

LOCAL VOTING: DUE DILIGENCE IS YOUR FRIEND

By Reverend Katherine Marple

KeepLifeLegal

You may argue that ‘due diligence’ is used when buying or selling something….but that’s exactly what you need to remember when voting locally. Your vote buys or disables what may pervert your conscience. Remember, your religious freedoms are YOUR Constitutional right, not a back door to your back account.

There is a levy on the ballot this election that…well…smelled a little funny to me. And then I received an email from our local Right to Life outreach regarding ‘Issue 11′, saw the endorsements…and now it all makes sense.
