JUDIE BROWN COMMENTARY

When I saw a column written by pro-life activist Jane Frantz in the Appleton Post-Crescent, it really took the wind out of my sails.

I just discovered your “Baby Steps” DVD. I am buying it to bring to sidewalk counseling. I would like to suggest that you start a campaign letting people know that they can use this DVD with a laptop or portable DVD player to show women coming into the abortion clinic.

The recent poll on birth control in school brings me to a startling discovery: parents really do not want the responsibility for raising their children as chaste, pure persons who want to wait for marriage to engage in procreative relations.

My dear friend Mark Pickup wrote a stunning blog posting that I must share with you. Of course, when you read the excerpt, I know you will want to visit his blog and read it all, but let me whet your appetite.

It was rather interesting to read about the fund-raiser for a Planned Parenthood which is in the process of opening an “birth control/education” clinic in Manatee, Florida.

Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri currently faces 107 criminal charges stemming from 29 alleged unlawful late-term abortions.

Here we go! I am going to list three bad news items, all reported on the same day, and all equally representative of the culture of death.

I just heard from my good friends at the Thomas More Law Center. It seems that our best pro-life law firm is going to sue Oregon’s secretary of state and attorney general. The reason will astound you.

I am always so impressed with local news reports on Life Chain, which in my opinion is one of the most powerful pro-life witnessing events we have in our nation today.

Many parents in Westchester, New York are rightfully furious over the explicit sex brochures that were part of a Wellness Fair run by the Westchester County Department of Health and attended by their pre-teens.

Recent remarks by retired Cardinal Theodore McCarrick are a reminder of the tragic situation that exists within the Catholic Church these days.

Every day something seems to crop up in the news that makes me so grateful to be 63 years old instead of a young mother or father.
