Old Navy is "making a fashion statement in support of all [their] LGBT fans! Show your support with one of our colorful Gay Pride 2011 tees, available in 26 select Old Navy stores. 10% of all sales will go to the It Gets Better Project." This is from FaceBook. Consider boycotting Old Navy please. Also please continue to Boycott Pepsi, because it has contracted with a company that uses fetal cells from babies victimized by abortions to test and produce artificial flavor enhancers. Debi Vinnedge, of the pro-life group, explained, “What they don’t tell the public is that they are using HEK 293 – human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby to produce those receptors. They could have easily chosen animal, insect, or other morally obtained human cells expressing the G protein for taste receptors.”

The Rest of the Story


MCFL in Fitchburg hosted a Fetal Development health booth at the Leominster High School Health Fair on April 12. One of the busiest booths at the fair, both male and female Students expressed tremendous interest. Maria Cristina Fernandez was in charge of the booth while Jack and Linda Kinsey assisted. The booth had both the soft fetal models (12 weeks, 20 weeks, 26 weeks and 30 weeks) and the anatomical models of the unborn baby in a cross section of the mother’s body. They passed out all 200 little feet pins (plus Linda, Jack, and Maria gave away their own pins) and 100’s of pieces of English and Spanish literature. Special Thanks to Rose Giammalvo enrolling the Fetal Development booth at the Health Fair. As could be expected, the usual abortion industry suspects have been involved in these health fair, but now the kids can get the rest of the story.

Pro-Life Pledge

We need to go back to basic principles to prevent painful splits such as in the campaign of Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown. His positions are sometimes pro-life and sometimes pro-abortion, yet he was called "pro-life" and endorsed by some pro-life groups.

Even those who disagree about politicians like Scott Brown can agree on the "back-to-basics" proposal below.

As a pro-life person, your good reputation will set an example for others to unify our movement.

Will you sign on to the Life Pledge below? Will you agree to let us list your name on LifePledge.org Web site?

It's as easy as A B C:
A. Read the reform proposal below.
B. If you agree, fill in the blanks below and reply to us at ccmazz@aol.com
C. Forward this email to other pro-lifers that you know.

Thank you!

Yes, I agree with this back-to-basics pro-life proposal. Please show my support by listing my name on LifePledge.com like this:

Name_________________________ Group (if any)_____________________ Title (if any)_________________

+ + + + + + + + +
The Life Pledge

I pledge to uphold and act on this pro-life reform proposal:

Three Foundational Principles That Unite Pro-life People and Groups
1. A human being comes into existence at fertilization, as the DNA evidence shows.
2. Every human has the unalienable right to life from fertilization to natural death.
3. The unalienable right to life of every innocent human being must be equally protected by law, whether the person is born or unborn, healthy or sick, or facing disabilities.

Issues That Spring From the Three Pro-life Principles
Violating the three principles raises many issues, such as:
Beginning of Life: abortion, reproductive technologies, genetic engineering, amniocentesis, contraception, abortifacients, post-abortion effects, traditional marriage as a protection for new life, eugenics;
End of Life: eugenics, medical rationing, euthanasia, assisted suicide;
as well as the appointment of judges who are pro-life on these issues.
Solutions for these issues include political, charitable, educational and spiritual activities. Pro-life individuals and groups focus on their own issues with their own solutions as they see fit. If we keep our three shared principles in mind and communicate respectfully, then our different activities will intermesh to protect vulnerable human lives more than we could separately.

Goals and Methods for Pro-life Activities

1. The common goal and mission of pro-life people and groups is to protect vulnerable lives. One necessary method is to promote and act on the three pro-life principles. 2. Within the pro-life movement we have many different estimates of how to reach our common goal, and we aspire to resolving our differences by respectful discussion.

Strategies for State and Federal Pro-life PACs

1. PACs will endorse political candidates ONLY if they publicly pledge to uphold all three principles above.

2. PACs will describe political candidates as pro-life ONLY if they publicly pledge to uphold all three principles above.

3. PACs will participate in elections by publicizing the positions of all candidates, major and minor, as they relate to these pro-life principles and issues.
4. All questionnaires for candidates will include Yes-or-No questions on these three principles. PACs will show the sources from which they learned a candidate's position on issues, such as voting records, official position statements and other public statements. The goal is full disclosure so that voters can decide for themselves which candidate to support. Using partial disclosure to make a chosen candidate look more pro-life is disrespectful of pro-life voters.

Long-term strategies for PACs
1. PACs will continually reach out to make contact with potential new pro-life candidates who are willing to take this pledge.
2. PACs will develop, advance and assist pro-life candidates to get elected.

The Hell there is.

"I, Sister Faustina Kowalska, by the order of God, have visited the Abysses of Hell so that I might tell souls about it and testify to its existence...the devils were full of hatred for me, but they had to obey me at the command of God, What I have written is but a pale shadow of the things I saw. But I noticed one thing: That most of the souls there are those who disbelieved that there is a hell." (Diary 741)

"Today, I was led by an angel to the Chasms of Hell. It is a place of great torture; how awesomely large and extensive it is! The kinds of tortures I saw:

The First Torture that constitutes hell is: The loss of God.
The Second is: Perpetual remorse of conscience.
The Third is That one's condition will never change.
The Fourth is: The fire that will penetrate the soul without destroying it. A terrible suffering since it is a purely spiritual fire, lit by God's anger.

The Fifth Torture is: Continual darkness and a terrible suffocating smell, and despite the darkness, the devils and the souls of the damned see each other and all the evil, both of others and their own.

The Sixth Torture is: The constant company of Satan.

The Seventh Torture is: Horrible despair, hatred of God, vile words, curses and blasphemies. These are the Tortures suffered by all the damned together, but that is not the end of the sufferings.

No Tax monies for Abortion!

The U S House is scheduled to vote on H.R.3, the Smith, Lipinski "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion act" on or about this Wednesday, May 4th.

Currently we have a patchwork of laws, like the Hyde Amendment, which restrict some funding and need to be voted into place every year.

Also, in major new programs created by Obamacare, federal subsidies are now permissible.
H.R.3 would replace this hit-or-miss approach with a permanent, government-wide prohibition on federal funding of abortion and federal subsidies for health plans that cover abortion.
Please call all our Congressmen. Remember Lynch and Neal voted for the Stupak funding ban and Keating, Neal, and Tsongas voted for the Continuing Resolution which had some abortion funding restrictions.

The message is to support H.R.3 and to oppose all amendments.

Cuff Lenk

Openly homosexual Judge Barbara Lenk has been nominated to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court by Gov. Patrick, in what could only be described as an affirmative action nomination.

Follow this link to see the shameful way the Governor's Council and Lt. Gov. Timmy Murray treat Pro-Traditional Family advocates who testified. Members of the Council felt free to demean, insult, patronize, intimidate, and question the motives of anti-Lenk testifiers, but gave unlimited time to Lenk Supporters and allowed Lenk to dodge tough questions about her judicial activism (When questioned by the Governor's Council about judicial activism, she flippantly claimed that she had no idea what that meant)and her disdain for the 2nd Amendment. She was asked by the Governor's Council: "Does the 2nd Amendment apply to the residents of Massachusetts through the due process clause of the 14th Amendment?" She refused to give an answer.

Ruling in an Incest case, Lenk wrote "By necessary implication, homosexual conduct . . . does not constitute incest and is not prohibited by the statute." This means homosexual incest would not be punished by Massachusetts incest law and that homosexual brothers and 1st cousins would be allowed to marry each other under Lenk's jurisprudence.

Call or email the Governor's Council and urge a No vote for Barbara Lenk.
