By Patrick B. Craine WASHINGTON, D.C., November 6, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – New evidence has been uncovered by the Bellarmine Veritas Ministry (BVM) which confirms that a partner group of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) that was accused by BVM of pro-abortion activities, but then subsequently defended by the CCHD, is indeed pro-abortion. Following an August report by BVM which revealed that four CCHD-funded groups were promoting abortion and/or contraception, the CCHD defunded two of the groups, but defended the other two. According to Bishop Roger Morin, chairman of the USCCB's CCHD subcommittee, in a memo to the U.S. bishops, these […]

By Thaddeus M. Baklinski DALLAS, November 6, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In a jarringly candid statement made to WFAA-TV in Dallas, Texas, late term abortionist and Baptist Minister Dr. Curtis Boyd said that when he performs abortions he is “killing,” and he has no issues with it whatsoever. “Am I killing? Yes, I am. I know that,” Boyd said during a video interview with the news station following the opening of the Southwestern Women's Surgery Center abortion facility. By law, Boyd must have a surgery center in order to abort a child more than 16 weeks along. “We see patients from […]

By Peter J. Smith CONCORD, New Hampshire, November 6, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Invigorated by their recent victory in Maine, pro-family advocates have now turned their attention to rolling back same-sex “marriage” in New Hampshire, where a law passed by the state legislature in June is set to take effect in January 2010. Foster's Daily Democrat reports that social conservatives have seized the momentum of victory in Maine, and two options for a referendum will be put forward in the New Hampshire State House come January. The first proposal would repeal the same-sex “marriage” legislation signed by Gov. John Lynch in June. The […]

Thousands storm Capitol to protest health care bill's abortion funding, immigration issues

By Patrick B. Craine QUEBEC, November 6, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – On a Quebec news program aired Wednesday, infamous pro-abortion and homosexualist Catholic priest Fr. Raymond Gravel argued that homosexuals cannot overcome their homosexual desires, claiming that homosexuality is natural. “I think we can't come out of homosexuality,” stated the priest and former Bloc Quebecois MP, who stepped down from political life last year following an order from the Vatican.  “And those who have tried to come out of homosexuality, nature has caught up to them.” Fr. Gravel was speaking on Dumont 360, hosted by Mario Dumont, the former leader of […]

By Hilary White ROME, November 6, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In a move that is a surprise to no one, the UK branch of the Traditional Anglican Communion (TAC), the largest of the groups that broke away from the mainstream Anglican Church over the ordination of woman and the latter's support for active homosexuality, has been the first to formally accept the offer of Pope Benedict to enter into communion with the Catholic Church en masse. Although the TAC is not large, being made up of only 20 or so parishes, the vote by the group to accept the invitation is […]

By Hilary White November 6, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An elderly, but healthy British couple who are thought to have committed suicide together, sent a letter to the BBC just before their deaths complaining about the law prohibiting assisted suicide. Neither Dennis nor Flora Milner of Newbury, Berkshire, aged 83 and 81 respectively, were ill or disabled, the BBC reports. Instead they wrote that they had merely decided that they wanted to die while they were still able to live in their own home without assistance. Their bodies were found on Sunday morning by friends. Local police have said that the […]

By James Tillman BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, November 6, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com)—Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn has come under fire for praising New York Assemblyman Vito Lopez, who supports both abortion and same-sex “marriage,” in recorded phone calls sent to voters just days before a highly-contested vote involving a City Council candidate supported by Lopez. Assemblyman Lopez, however, has been endorsed by the NARAL Pro-Choice New York PAC.  In order to be endorsed by NARAL, a candidate has to answer eleven out of eleven questions in a fashion satisfactory to them, regarding topics such as parental notification laws, comprehensive sex education, Medicaid funding of […]
