Former Planned Parenthood Director: Stop Dangerous Telemed Abortions

Former Planned Parenthood Director: Stop Dangerous Telemed Abortions by LifeSiteNews.com Commentary by Abby Johnson June 3, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Abortion is a risky business. It’s risky for the unborn child, of course. But there’s also risk for the woman who undergoes the procedure, and that fact is often ignored by those who promote — and profit from — abortion. Those risks could increase substantially under a new scheme Planned Parenthood has developed for expanding abortion to areas that are not served by its current network of surgical abortion facilities. And Planned Parenthood is certain to downplay these risks because abortion […]

Sometimes the horror is too much: ‘Feticide’ and stopping the baby’s heart

I was just reading the report on abortion statistics from England and Wales and was caught off guard by one paragraph: For abortions at 22 weeks or beyond, feticide is recommended prior to the evacuation of the uterus to stop the fetal heart. In 2010, of the 1,173 abortions performed at 22 weeks and over, 70% were reported as preceded by a feticide and a further 25% were performed by a method whereby the fetal heart is stopped as part of the procedure. 2% of abortions at 22 weeks or beyond were confirmed as having no feticide. For the remaining […]

Study: It helps your life to think specifically about your own death

It was always an ancient practice of Jews and then Christians (remember the ‘four last things’) to contemplate their deaths as a way of striving to live a good life.  That practice has all but died nowadays, with sophisticated counsel never to dwell on the morbid or negative. So secular psychology has had to resurrect the truth that contemplating one’s death is beneficial for one’s life. A new study which will be published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science had people either think about death in the abstract or in a specific, personal way and found that people who […]

As the Church prepared to celebrate the day when the Lord gave us the command to “love one another,” Baby Joseph’s parents and older brother were enjoying the fruit of the hard fight that their love inspired.
