What about my rights? As a woman? As a Catholic? As a mother? As an American citizen?
What about me?
For the past two weeks, there has been a lot of talk in Catholic circles about the HHS contraception mandate and the March for Life I’ve read countless articles, blog reports and op-eds regarding this divisive decision and the lack of media attention toward the hundreds of thousands of people in Washington.

Vote For My Guy Or You're Stupid
by Susie Lloyd in News on Friday, January 27, 2012 9:05 AM
“If you vote for him ... there will be no excuse for you before God.” —Facebook.
Election time is here! That singular moment when Catholics who hold exactly the same values based on faith, hope, and charity, tear each other apart.
Well not literally. But there is talk about sin and hell and who’s a real Catholic, and who isn’t. All based on the vote!
This is nothing new. It happens during every election. It’s a great way to make people get mad and stop listening. So why do we keep falling for it?... READ MORE

Early this past summer, we took a family kayaking trip on the Saco River in Maine. Before we hit the water, the company that rented us the kayaks needed to schedule our pick up, by bus, further down the river later in the day.
“We have pick up stations after four, seven, and eleven... READ MORE
Wrongful Birth vs. Right to Life
by Leticia Velasquez in News on Sunday, September 25, 2011 3:03 PM
A Palm Beach jury just awarded a couple $4.5 million in damages in a wrongful birth suit.
Their son Bryan was born in October 2008 without arms and with only one leg.
Their suit was against the mother, Ana Mejia’s obstetrician and sonographer, saying if they had done their jobs detecting the anomaly before birth, that the couple would have had time to abort him.
Mejia and Santana claimed they would have never have brought Bryan into the world had they known about his horrific disabilities. Had Morel... READ MORE

Being an award-winning musician who’s performed with the likes of Luciano Pavarotti, Faith Hill, and even Carlos Santana hasn’t spared Natalie MacMaster from the self-doubt that afflicts many busy wives and mothers. Her Catholic faith, however, provides a source of comfort she can turn to during those inevitable times.
A native and resident of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, (about which she’s just released a book), MacMaster has earned her reputation as an electrifying fiddle virtuoso with numerous... READ MORE
Ora Pro Nobis!
by Stanley Popovich in News on Monday, September 27, 2010 6:00 AM
We were about 40 participants in the official U.S. pilgrimage to the beatification of John Henry Cardinal Newman—and when we landed at London’s Heathrow airport last week, we were all so very excited!
