There is a crisis in our country because 3,500 babies are being killed every day. Abortion is not removing a clump of tissue, it is the taking of the life of another human being created by God.
This is what Pope Benedict XVI said in 2005 when speaking in Latin America at a meeting on Family and Life Issues, "Children truly are the family's greatest treasure and most precious good. Consequently, everyone must be helped to become aware of the intrinsic evil of the crime of abortion. In attacking human life in its very first stages, it is also an aggression against society itself. Politicians and legislators, therefore, as servants of the common good, are duty bound to defend the fundamental right to life, the fruit of God's love."
There is a national campaign to stop abortion called 40 Days For Life. It invites people to pray in front of Planned Parenthood or other abortion clinics in your area. Peaceful and polite gatherings are what is required. You can sign up for an hour one day a week or any time that is good for you. You can get on their website to see if there is one in your area. http://www.40daysforlife.com/splash.cfm
Can you give an hour of your week to give life to the unborn?
