I feel blessed to have grown up and become a nurse in the era of TV programs like Marcus Welby, MD; Ben Casey; and Medical Center.

Here is how one enemy of the family defines fecundophobia. During the 2012 election cycle, Washington Post writer Lisa Miller wrote about politicians displaying pictures of their families showcasing their wives and children.
Abortion is a horrifying, tragic act that takes the life of a child who depended on his mother to care for him. Instead, his life is literally torn apart. A new PBS movie airing this holiday weekend attempts to humanize the monsters responsible for this slaughter. What can we do about this?
American Life League understands the importance of the family in society and the toxicity surrounding it today. To this end, we have begun a new campaign called Defend the Family. Today’s commentary talks more about this and explains how you can take part.
Suffering the loss of a child through miscarriage is a tragedy that evokes a great sadness. The direct killing of a child through abortion is also a tragedy. Knowing that some Planned Parenthoods now refer to an abortion as a “voluntary miscarriage” is sickening and further compounds the heartbreak of losing a child. Today’s commentary reminds us to be cautious with our words and to support those who have lost a child at any age.
In a time when life is not valued be it the preborn, the elderly, or the infirm we must strive to teach that all people are worthy of love, respect, honor, and care. Doctors may not always look out for the best interests of their patients, so when it comes to end-of-life care, we must protect ourselves and our loved ones by being educated and by asking questions.

As has been widely reported, a Satanic Black Mass has been scheduled for September 21 in Oklahoma City’s Civic Center.
Atrocities against human beings occur every day worldwide. Often we hear an outcry when an offense is especially egregious. But what could be more egregious than the wanton slaughtering of innocent babies or than the premature death of those who are ill? Let us examine the actions, or the inactions, of our daily lives. Souls are at stake.

Men are told that they don’t have a legal right or a moral role in the abortion issue. Many believe that it’s not only a woman’s right to choose, but it’s also a woman-only issue to debate.
If you have not heard of eugenics or do not understand the word’s meaning, it is imperative that you learn. Throughout the world, individuals and organizations have adopted the attitudes and practices that some people are better than others and are working hard to push this belief on those easily swayed. They do not understand the sanctity of each and every life. They do not understand that every life is a gift. This is why education is important.
The culture of death is increasingly prevalent in today’s society and around the world. It can be seen in the lack of respect and dignity shown for preborn babies, for the sick, and for the dying. But this need not be the case. For those who do not have voices, we must speak. For those who do have voices, we must augment them so they are heard. Life is precious. Life is a gift. It is not for us to take away from anyone.
As we reflect on the freedom and independence our Founding Fathers fought so hard for, we must vow to continue to fight for those rights for life, for liberty so that we can live life as Our Lord wants us to.
