40 Days for Life Story - "When I moved to Charlottesville this summer I met a couple men who had been standing outside of Planned Parenthood for years. In fact, one of them had been standing for so long that he was starting to question his service.
He said to me, "It's very rare that I get any positive feedback." I told him that it was a small town, but I knew from my experience in Houston that lives were being changed simply by the presence of men and women outside of the abortion clinic praying and handing out literature.
No sooner had he crossed the street than a woman pulled up into the Planned Parenthood parking lot and started yelling at me. At first I thought she angry with me. But then she told me she wanted to tell me something.

She pointed to the back seat of her car and said she had a grandson in a car seat that was alive because people were standing outside of the clinic -- and she wanted to say thank you."

Thanks and God Bless,

The Anchoress blogs on the heavy grace of Confession at St. John Lateren in Rome, including the "sighing" Irish Priest, and
One of the best confessors I’ve ever had was a Chinese priest who had fought for his vocation while in China, and who had a gentle way of looking at things, born of having seen and lived through a great deal that most people never will. I confessed a sin that was weighing heavily on me–a true sin, no over-scrupulous conceit–and he sighed, just like that Irish priest; “well, that was a stupid thing to do,” he said, and it was like having someone take the burden from my shoulders.

Thank Sen. Brown for Opposition to sneaky repeal of Don't Ask - Don't Tell

CALL SENATOR BROWN AT 202-224-4543 and thank him for opposing the 2011 Defense Authorization Bill.

All of the Service Chiefs of Staff – the four star generals and admirals over the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force – oppose the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and agree with the standard established by General George Washington that homosexuality is destructive to military moral and effectiveness. Yet our political leaders, beholden to powerful special interest groups, could care less about our military men and women and are obsessed with ramming this radical amendment down the throats of our troops. The majority of Americans agree with the Service Chiefs, not the politicians.

Federal funding of abortion has been banned since Roe v Wade and President Obama promised that the new Health Care Law would not use ANY federal funds for abortion. Yet the infamous Burris amendment does the exact opposite in using federally funded doctors and hospital facilities to do abortions. The majority of American oppose the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortions.

Pray that Fr. David J. Mullen of St. Brendan Parish in Bellingham, MA be allowed by his emminence Sean Cardinal O'Malley to implement the Safe Environment program of the Diocese of Baker, Oregon, called "Healthy Families: Safe Children". This Safe Environment Program which Bp. Robert F. Vasa, the ordinary of Baker, has developed in his diocese is derived from the Catholic Medical Association's wonderful report on safe environment programs and child development entitled "To Protect and to Prevent" (2006). This approval is necessary because the current Archdioces of Boston Safe Environment Program, Talking about Touching is problematic at best, scandalous as implemented, and at worst ... I won't say.

Primary Election Pro-Life endorsements - Latest email

Sep 11, Day of Prayer and Remembrance, An Abortion Saturday - Prayer Vigil Protest on Pleasant St. Counselors up front, prayers in the back Anytime 7:30-11AM
Sep 11 10AM Meeting of Cathedral of St. Paul's Catachists (CCD teachers)

Sep 14 Tue Massachusetts Primary Election.
Not a lot of true Pro-Life candidates, but some workable choices to help in the fight against the Abortion industry whose interests are being protected and promoted by the likes of Jim McGovern, Martha Coakley and Deval Patrick.

First, Pro-Life candidates for Attorney General Jim McKenna need your write-in votes in the Republican primary this Tuesday. Under the blank Attorney General section, next to the write in box enter:
either
Guy A. Carbone, Esq., 65 Woodfall Rd., Belmont
or
James McKenna, 28 Miles St., Millbury

Other Republican write-ins, for Lt. Governor Pro-Life Keith Davis, 9 Pheasant Dr. Holyoke. Social and Fiscal Conservative.
and for Governor, write in Scott Lively 60 Sherman St. Springfield

In the Congressional race against Pro-abortion Jim McGovern there are several Republican candidates in the Primary who would be an improvement on McGovern's push for unlimited access to Government funded abortions include; Robert Delle, Brian Herr, Marty Lamb, Mike Stopa. Whoever wins will need our support in November. MassResistence like Lamb and Delle.

For Sheriff both Bove (D) and Evangelidis (R) are Pro Life
For Auditor both Glodis (D) and Connaughton (R) are pretty good. Suzanne Bump (D) and Mike Lake (D) are both clearly social liberal anti-life types.

For State Rep in Worcester Paul Franco, Benienda, Gettins, Beaton Peterson, Kuros, Ferguson (mostly), Frost, Dinatale and Fresolo are Pro-Life,
O'Day, O'Brien, Knuuttila, Gerry, Barnet, Mahoney, Perotto, Callahan, Fernandes, Alicea, Gobi and Joff Smith are Anti-Life.

For State Senate in Worcester RICHARD Moore, Rush, Dubrule, and Higgins are Pro-Life.
MICHAEL Moore, Chandler, and Flannagan are anti-Life
