So tangible. You are working at the frontlines, saving one mother and her baby at a time -- that takes a lot of courage. God go with you at this march for life. Our prayers go with you as well.<br /><br />Marcia, isn't this why we write?

Each of us who believe in Life have to take a stand without fear. Here in Round Rock, TX we have 199 crosses standing by the roadside of St. William Catholic church for the 199 babies that are aborted every day in Texas. It's an uphill battle but God is leading us and in Him, and with Him and through Him we can help end Abortion. Going to the capitol to the Texas Rally for Life this Saturday. The rally is getting bigger every year and one by one hearts are changed. Pray for us. God bless you.Suman Khistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15189096836581663811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-62022682507304496432014-01-22T13:54:09.828-05:002014-01-22T13:54:09.828-05:00It always amazes me that a celibate man can unders...It always amazes me that a celibate man can understand so much about family life and women, in particular. JPII is teaching me so many things. His Theology of the Body opened my eyes to what free sex really was. Using one another. It wasn't hard to see that abortion is the consequence.<br />Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-20885178034682857242014-01-22T10:36:32.033-05:002014-01-22T10:36:32.033-05:00Pope John Paul II's words to women are beautif...Pope John Paul II's words to women are beautiful; he understood that one of the gravest problems of abortion is the way it allows for the objectification of women. Somehow over the years, feminists have rallied behind the abortion movement, but the "old greats" like Susan B. Anthony were ardently pro-life. Not only did they respect motherhood as a privilege given only to women, but they saw how many men were ready to support abortion so they could use women without facing the consequences. <br />Definitely a matter that must be turned over to prayer...
