Well...better start it off right...Happy New Year! ;)
Now, onto the good stuff...kind of...
Today is an interesting day in the history of our country. Forty years ago, abortion became legal. What a tragedy...Blessed Teresa of Calcutta pretty much sums up my thoughts about that:
"America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts -- a child -- as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters"
"And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign." (Mother Theresa -- "Notable and Quotable," Wall Street Journal, 2/25/94, p. A14)

"Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants." - Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
It's pretty ridiculous...Since that day 40 years ago, at least 55 million abortions have taken place in America. This is why myself and a few students from St. Francis of Assisi Parish will be joining the close to 500,000 others in Washington DC this week for the National March for Life. It's really time that we stepped it up as a society...took responsibility for our own actions regarding sex...and realize where we are. Even the woman who fought for her abortion in Roe vs Wade, the case that started this, is now pro-life! Praise the Lord.
