Abortion is legal but not moral

Image
A good friends of mine recently put up a post which described that some thing that is legal is not always moral, and I believe there are countless examples throughout history which attest to this, but the two big examples that immediately come to mind are slavery and the holocaust. Both instances allowed humans to be gazed upon as less than human and therefore allowed to be treated with the dignity that human being deserves. Because of the lack of recognition of their human dignity we can see that so many were tortured, killed, exploited in many ways. Today, we still have many things that are legal but not ethical, case and point, abortion. Abortion denies the fundamental protection and recognition that a person deserves in the womb. The law acts in a fashion that belittles and degrades a human in development, and this is not do say that mothers do not have rights, but since when is it a good thing to have the power of life and death over another person purely at one's whim.

Let’s help NARAL “put a face to our cause” - Jill Stanek Earlier today Kathleen Gilbert at LifeSiteNews.com took note of NARAL’s new media campaign, “Putting a face to our cause.” Click to enlarge… The instructions are simple. Email a graphic or picture to hall33ready@photos.flickr.com and it will automatically upload to NARAL’s flickr site . So Kathleen suggested pro-lifers “put a face to our cause” and upload pro-life graphics and photos. The results have been amazing. Pro-lifers have utterly taken over NARAL’s flickr page, reminiscent of when pro-lifers took over NARAL’s “Blog for Choice Day” in January. Go here for a 1-minute video guide made by a pro-lifer on how to submit a graphic or photo, if you’re unclear. Please visit Jill's blog for more information and paricipate in this effort. It is an easy way to voice your pro-life opinion. My contribution:

Pray Without Ceasing

-This is a blog entry that I did for my catechism students, and reading it, I thought that it would be beneficial to others, so I decided to post it on this blog too.- It would seem that so much attention has been paid in recent days to some predictions about the end of the world, and it is at this moment that I would like to remind you all that we need not worry about the end of the world as much as we should worry whether or not we have been living holy and saint like lives. It is true that every Christian is called to be perfect and imitate Christ, but it would be foolhardy to try to do this by our own power. We must always make an effort to do this in Christ and for Christ, but in order to do this; we must have continual recourse to prayer. We should always remember that prayer is an intimate dialogue between our soul and God. It is in prayer that we draw close to God and share our inmost thoughts, worries, and concerns, but we must also look at whether or not our conversat
