The loss of preborn life that we see or hear about on a daily basis should not be a difficult concept to understand. When a child is created, and his life is then snuffed out whether it’s through one of the several types of abortion or in a lab setting the truth remains that a life has been lost. Each and every one of these babies must be mourned; we must never forget a single one of them. Hence, we must always realize that our language matters both written and spoken. Lives depend upon this
While you expect to see commentary by yours truly on Fridays, it is my pleasure to surrender my “space” to our director of American Life League”s Defend the Faith project, Michael Hichborn.

So why, when a baby is created intentionally or unintentionally people think of him as nothing more than an inconvenience? How can a baby’s life be likened to something like one of the scenarios above? And how can people have the audacity to think that no life exists when one clearly does?
Peace begins at home. But what happens when we willfully destroy the home and the people in it? As a society, we are in trouble, for there is a war being waged upon us. And if we don’t arm ourselves properly, we will lose this war. But the reality is that we will lose so much more than that.

A reader sent me a message declaring quite excitedly that I’m “not gonna believe” what’s happening at this public school in California.
As another year closes, we take a few moments to reflect upon the blessings bestowed upon us. We offer a prayer of thanks for our faith, for the power of Our Lord, and for the people who have helped effect change. And we look forward to a year filled with many more blessings a year where we hope to see lives spared, hearts opened, and souls saved.
Recently, a meeting of the Pontifical Academy for Life occurred in Vatican City. It was suggested by some members of the Academy prior to the meeting that there could be a bit of “fireworks” due to the questionable statements that had been made by Academy President Archbishop Rino Fisichella during the previous year.
