This will be my third March in as many years. I will be one of scores hundreds of thousands who have descended on the Nation’s Capital. Why? Why do so very many come? What’s in it for them? The women here repudiate their “right” to kill their unborn children. The teenagers who literally have overrun [...]

Pro-Life Academy every Tuesday and Thursday. Fertilization of an egg cell by sperm, as shown above, is an example of sexual reproduction. This method, as we shall examine today, affords the greatest degree of genetic variation among the members of a species, including our own. Following our last lesson where we discussed the ultimate identity [...]
The Value of Virgins

Today is the Feast of Saint Agnes, Virgin and Martyr. Agnes was thirteen years old when she refused the wooing by a Roman Governor’s son, having promised herself to the Lord. Neither inducements, nor being clapped in irons, nor being brought to a whore house could change her mind. Agnes was finally beheaded, going joyfully [...]

Pro-Life Academy every Tuesday and Thursday. Organismally, our fundamental identity is the sum total of the instructions written into our DNA, those forty-six double-helical molecules contained in every cell of the body (half as many in the gametes). To the left we see God’s artwork and ours. The top image is an end-on view into [...]

Little girls are unburdened. There is a lightness about little girls in those golden years before adolescence that is unmistakeable. Its unblemished beauty is like a rose bud, with all of the promise of the splendor about to unfold. A florist once shared that rose buds exposed to a sudden and extreme chill will not [...]

Obedience and Unity

Out of the mouths of babes… I was recently discussing today’s Gospel reading, The Wedding Feast at Cana, with a friend. I asked why it was that Jesus did Mary’s bidding, though He believed His time had not yet come. Nine year old Elizabeth piped up without hesitation, “Because Mary was His Mother and even [...]

This morning I attended a three-hour prayer service and Mass in Our Lady’s Chapel of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. The day was jointly sponsored by Lumina and the Sisters of Life. Archbishop Dolan began the day by admonishing those in attendance to respond with love to those who have not yet come to the truth. He [...]

Jill Stanek runs an excellent commentary concerning the ongoing fallout from the recent study showing a forty percent increased probability of breast cancer among women who have had abortions. Two of the paper’s authors are noteworthy. Dr. Louise Brinton chaired the infamous 203 National Cancer Institute panel that declared no link between abortion and breast [...]

How long has it been since Biology class? The mere mention of it induces either sweaty palms or deep sleep. For many, it’s been too long and the material was neither clear nor interesting, yet the life issues demand a certain facility with biology. Beginning today, and on every Tuesday and Thursday this blog will [...]
Abstinence Education (Part I)
Posted in Uncategorized on January 13, 2010 | 42 Comments »
Of the choice between abstinence-based education and comprehensive sex education, there can be no doubt that abstinence offers a superior approach to our young people. There has been a see-saw battle of statistics on both sides of the issue. To say the least, the landscape is a statistical mess. While abstinence is the better approach, [...]

When science and medicine are sullied, as they are with abortion, then every legal effort needs to be made to stop the perpetrators. Lila Rose exploded onto the national stage with her bombshell audios and videos of Planned Parenthood’s racism in action. See what’s happened since.
