Another Myth Debunked

Abortion supporters like to claim that abortion is safer than childbirth. But there are significant issues with the study used to support this claim. Please watch and share.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf Files Lawsuit to Declare There’s a Right to Kill Babies in Abortions – LifeNews.com

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf filed a lawsuit Thursday to thwart efforts to prevent state taxpayers from being forced to pay for the killing of unborn babies in abortions. Fox 29 reports the Democrat governor’s lawsuit challenges a proposed state constitutional amendment that would confirm that abortion or the tax-payer funding of it is nowhere in the PA Constitution.

Against Constitutional Amendment

HARRISBURG, PA – The Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation issued the following statement in the wake of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s lawsuit against a Constitutional Amendment which would keep abortion out of the PA Constitution: “The Pennsylvania General Assembly has a right to seek to amend the Constitution, and to do so without the consent of the Governor,” said Maria Gallagher, legislative director of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation.

                      Featured Commentary

        Radical Acts of Love

Red Rose Rescue, a group of pro-life heroes who witness to the humanity of the preborn child with their very selves, recently posted an inspiring YouTube video. These frontline pro-life saints act on the words of Proverbs 24:11: “Rescue those being dragged to death, and those tottering to execution withhold not. If you say, ‘I know not this man!’ does not He who tests hearts not perceive it?”

         
               Week in Review                 The media seems intent on creating hysteria and confusion about the Dobbs case. In the latest trend, the media is treating an ectopic pregnancy the same as abortion violence, with even Planned Parenthood adding to the misinformation.

         
               ALL in the News                 The annual STOPP Planned Parenthood Facilities Report, which reports on the latest data available concerning the abortion giant, is now available. The report studies a disturbing trend showing Planned Parenthood is moving from surgical abortions to DIY-at-home abortion pills.

         
               Pro-Life Social Media                 The business of killing babies is Planned Parenthood’s top priority, which can only be cultivated by an attitude of freewheeling, self-indulgent promiscuity.

         
               Video of the Week                 Human Life International gives four reasons why men’s opinions on preborn child killing are relevant to the conversation.

         
               Action Item of the Week                 In a world distracted by social media, cell phones, and the endless news cycle, we need more opportunities to spend quality, faith-centered time with our families; here are 14 ideas.

By Ellen Wilson Fielding:Special access to full article from the Spring issue of the Review!Two thousand years ago, Jesus demonstrated his ability to walk on water. What we now wait to see is whether the morally “evolved” nations of the West, having jettisoned their Origin Story in favor of a myth of infinite progress and a consequent abhorrence of the past, can perform the miracle of perambulating in mid-air, unsupported philosophically and ethically by any real foundation of meaning—any explanation of our purpose, our origin and goal, our Creator and Redeemer.

CLICK TO READ The Other End of the Iceberg By Diane Moriarty:The pro-abortion front is counting on mothers putting nationwide legal abortion above their families and their transportation needs, expecting that emotion-driven women will vote for pro-abortion politicians as an act of ideological revenge against “right-wingers” while budgets explode, and savings are drained. It’s an awkward position, one pro-abortionists didn’t suffer as long as an errant Supreme Court was in their corner. Now there’s more to weigh, more to consider. It’s between-the-ears territory. CLICK TO READ The End of Shame By Rev. W. Ross Blackburn:Abortion has always been a national shame. But now, even if only in part, the cover has been withdrawn. There are two ways to deal with shame. One is to come clean, confess, and seek to make things right. The other is to double-down and self-justify. Before June 24, advocates didn’t need to work hard to justify abortion and the sexual license it promotes. Now they do.

33rd Youth Festival in Medjugorje begins on Monday, August 1

July 29, 2022
Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! I am with you to lead you on the way of conversion, because, little children, with your lives you can draw many souls closer to my Son…” (July 25, 2022)

Our Lady understands the process of evangelization!! She knows that introducing someone to Jesus is a personal process. When someone encounters us in normal life, in the normal activities that make up our lives, if we are converting to Christ every day, they will see it. They will witness our moment by moment conversion in the form of joy, prayer, kindness, humility, simplicity, trust in God and friendship. They will see in our way of living something wonderful. And in that seeing, they will begin to desire it in their lives. They will see our conversion and choose to be led by us in conversion as well.

This is the way it works!! “With your lives you can draw many souls closer to my Son…” Our lives speak louder than our words! Our lives can be the Good News!

Coming up on August 1, 2022 is the 33rd Youth Festival in Medjugorje! This festival lasts all week, with morning and evening sessions of testimonies from those who have converted and are sharing their conversion as an invitation to the young people to follow them into conversion to Christ! It is exactly what Our Lady is telling us: “Little children, with your lives you can draw many souls closer to my Son!!”

Mary TV will stream all the events of the 33rd Youth Festival in Medjugorje! Everything will be live on our channel! Join us at https://marytv.tv/ for the entire 6 days of joy and conversion!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

IVF: Another front in the cause for life
In vitro fertilization (IVF) and its related technologies inevitably treat children not as people but as the objects of manufacture. Embryos that don’t make the cut on this human assembly line can be easily discarded. To bring one child to term through IVF normally involves sacrificing other embryos—often many. We have seen clearly how abortion license has lowered our respect for the human person at all stages of life. IVF is having the same effect.

Survey says: You can’t replace Dad
New research from the Institute for Family Studies demonstrates, once again, how important fathers are, especially for boys. Christians can challenge the growing public safety crisis that is fatherlessness, and we must start in the Church. No matter if our technologies and cultural dogmas pretend otherwise, every child has a father. These new statistics show, again, that every child needs their father. And we have no right to deprive them.

Chloe’s story: puberty blockers at 13
A young California woman, Chloe Cole, has testified before legislators in her own state, in Louisiana, and in Florida about her experience at the hands of “gender-affirming” doctors. She began to live as a male at 13; she had a double mastectomy at 15. Now at 17, Chloe is sounding the alarm about the dangers and life long consequences of these medical treatments. “No child should have to experience what I have. My consent was not informed. I was failed by modern medicine.”

Personhood on the ground
We must take a stand:
Our faith and principles require decisive action




The Personhood Alliance seeks to uphold a moral standard that, sadly, has been abandoned by many in the pro-life movement. We do not advocate any one particular legal or political strategy as much as the adherence to universal moral principles.

We believe the pro-life movement has done great harm to its own ability to succeed by promoting legislation that abandons children conceived in rape, children with disabilities, and other politically unfashionable groups of human beings.
We also believe in the principle of subsidiarity. The pro-life movement has made a mistake in delegating the responsibility for social change to judges and politicians. Evil must be confronted by each and every one of us, especially at the local level.

If we believe that an unjust law is no law at all, then we must be willing to act like it.

Building an Abortion-Free America Encouraging Kansans: Vote YES to keep KS from Being a Destination for Late-Term Abortion Kansas, known for its vast prairies, rolling hills, natural beauty, and virtuous people, is currently the epicenter of the abortion debate. Operation Rescue is headquartered in Kansas, and we are proud that our state is the first, since Roe v. Wade was overturned, to offer its citizens the opportunity to decide on abortion through a ballot initiative Not only was the state of Kansas freed from federal interference upon Roe’s overturn, but the people of Kansas are now exercising their authority to overturn a 2019 Kansas Supreme Court decision which, much like Roe v. Wade did on a federal level, erroneously claimed a state constitutional right to abortion.The decision effectively usurped every state law restricting abortion and made it impossible to regulate abortion in any meaningful way.Continue Reading! ICYMI: THREE BIG SHIFTS AFFECTING TINY BABIES THIS WEEK: LAWS BLOCKED AND UNBLOCKED IN LA, WV, AND GALouisiana and West Virginia were abortion free for what seemed like moments in the broad scheme of things post-Roe. Operation Rescue has verified that, while abortions had temporarily halted, abortion businesses in the two states are busy scheduling and performing abortions again. Both states worked through the appropriate legislative processes to put laws on the books banning abortion. Though the time frame for the legislative actions is spread across more than a century, the conviction of the people in each state to protect innocent lives is the same. Continue Reading!

Dear Friends,
Thank you for being our partners in saving the unborn babies of New York through your generous support. As you know from my recent messages, these are tough times for pregnancy centers like EMC Frontline, so your support is dearly appreciated like never before. Here’s why. I thought things couldn’t get worse after the Hochul regime recently doled out millions for abortion centers and mobilized the Commissioner of Health to write bogus reports to close crisis pregnancy centers that do not refer for abortions. But then we had the pro-abort terrorists and the vandalism of our downtown Brooklyn location’s front entrance. Then we had New York state Attorney General Letitia James calling on Google to block searches for pregnancy centers by women simply considering abortions. This effectively censors our voice. I personally need you to stand with me as we battle the forces of abortion on all fronts. Can I count on you? I hope that you will become a monthly donor and be with us every day of the coming year. After all, these are desperate times . . . . And now the Feds are sticking their beaks in. Cool Joe no more. Joe Biden, in a recent pique of anger at the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade, uncapped his own pen and signed his latest executive order—one that entirely secures abortion rights, backs abortion clinics, and ruthlessly hunts crisis pregnancy centers like EMC Frontline. According to the order, the federal government will now officially “promote access to critical reproductive healthcare services, including abortion.” The Biden White House is intentionally undermining the Supreme Court’s decision by manipulating the federal government to permit states to ignore or even flaunt the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Here’s what his executive order will attempt to do:  Recruit lawyers to sue pro-life states. Attack pro-life pregnancy centers for fraud, claiming they do not have healthcare professionals. ‘Protect’ abortion clinics from pro-life advocates who simply protest in the vicinity. Reduce reporting requirements about the complications of medication abortions no matter the harm. Launch a national pro-abortion public awareness campaign.  Folks, abortions are not being restricted, especially in New York. Women are flocking to New York state for abortions. As you know, that’s why I ordered the immediate summer expansion of our services—from more staff to more nurses to more ultrasounds. We need to have compassion and expand our accessibility for these women. We need to be there for the local and out-of-state women. We can show them that there’s a better way and that they don’t have to live in regret for the rest of their lives. You can help them change their minds by being a partner in our $20,000 immediate summer expansion$52 per month matches one dollar per year of NY State abortions which started July 1, 1970. $100 per month covers the cost of one life-saving ultrasound. $150 per month helps cover the cost of advertising to promote our services to moms in need.  I am so grateful to you for being our partners in our struggle against the forces of abortion. Donate today Yours for Life, Chris SlatteryPresident and FounderEMC Frontline718.401.9400EMCFrontline.org P.S. In all my time saving the unborn babies of New York, I’ve never seen our pregnancy centers come under such attack—from all levels of government and pro-abort terrorists! I need your help to stand up to them. Please become a monthly donor today! Expectant Mother Care-EMC FrontLine Pregnancy Centers | P.O. Box 134, Bronx, NY 10470
