Woman Threatens Pro-Life Protester, Has Change of Heart
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Back in November of last year, Minnesota resident Mechelle Tallulah Hall tried to enter an abortion clinic to terminate her pregnancy and she was confronted by the mother-daughter pro-life protester team of Sarah and Leah Winandy.
The Winandys asked Hall to consider keeping her baby. She responded by pulling out a knife and threatening them. No one was hurt.
It’s not surprising that Hall was charged... READ MORE
In Case You Missed It

Since Rachel’s talking about Super Bowl ads today, here’s a look at the “offensive” and “demeaning” pro-life commercial starring Tim Tebow and his mom. Kind of makes you wonder what all the fury was about, doesn’t it?
Now That's a Pro-Life Ad
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Thursday, February 04, 2010
At NCRegister.com I’ve been blogging a bit about feminists’ varying reactions to the upcoming pro-life Super Bowl ad featuring football star Tim Tebow. In my research, I was intrigued to come across this pro-life video featuring NFL players from 1989.
With all the furor over the subtle, tame Tebow ad, can you imagine the uproar if they dared to produce something like this today?
Signs of Life
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Wednesday, January 27, 2010
I wasn’t able to attend the March for Life in washington, D.C. this year, but Faith & Family associate editor Lynn Wehner made the trek with one of her daughters.
When she got back, she shared these short inspiring thoughts (along with several photos of the most notable signs she saw—click “read more” to see them):
“Never” is usually such a pessimistic word … not so at this year’s March for Life!... READ MORE
A Pro-Life Prayer
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Faith on Friday, January 22, 2010
Because today was the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, I went looking for a special pro-life prayer to say. I was very pleased to find a beautiful one, which says it’s adapted from a homily by Pope John Paul II. I know we’re all thinking of and praying for all victims of abortion today, and in honor of that, I thought I’d share the prayer here.
Prayer for Life
Almighty God, our Father,
you who have... READ MORE
"I Love This Week"
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Friday, January 22, 2010
Last night on the House floor, Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio explained why he loves March for Life week in Washington.
Many more Congressmen rose to defend life too. Find links to their statements here.
Jordan is right—the East Coast march is like a big family reunion—even on a cold, wet day, as it will be in Washington today. (I am trying to coffee up—sorry, Arwen!—against the cold before the Tetis head out.)
We’re marching with our parish, and overnight we hosted a student group from Atlanta which drove up to participate. The poor things had to drive through freezing rain all night and only got in at 3 am. Those are some determined marchers!
Are you marching? Where? East coast, West coast, Atlanta, other? This year there is a virtual March for Life, too. Check it out.
Bump

Tomorrow, while many of us will be marching, fasting and praying for life, a web based series will allow viewers to chime in on the outcome of a “reality” type look at three women and their unintended pregnancies. From the series website, comes the following description of the show:
In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court gave women a choice. Thirty-seven years later, we’re giving them a voice. BUMP+, a... READ MORE
Teens and Technology

On this week’s episode of the Faith & Family Live Cast (click here to listen or click on the player above) Danielle, Elizabeth and I take on topics related to teens and technology. During the month of January, Pope Benedict XVI has asked us to join him in praying for the following intention:
That young people may learn to use modern means of social communication for their personal growth and to better... READ MORE
I See FOCA
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Monday, January 11, 2010
At the Register’s new site, Tom Hoopes notes that just about every measure of FOCA will be accomplished by the health care bill.
Here’s just one example:
FOCA MAKES ABORTION A RIGHT. It creates a “fundamental right” to abortion throughout the nine months of pregnancy. No governmental body at any level would be able to “deny or interfere with” this right, or to “discriminate” against the exercise of this right “in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, services, or information.” For the first time, abortion would become an entitlement the government must condone and promote.
HEALTH BILL MAKES ABORTION A REGULATORY REQUIREMENT. In the Senate health bill, the federal government provides or requires health insurance that does exactly that. So what’s the difference?
Read the whole post for a systematic list of everything the health care bills in their current forms accomplish.
See if you don’t see FOCA too.
Down Syndrome & Courage
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Family on Tuesday, November 03, 2009
Upwards of 80% of children with Down syndrome are aborted in this country.
Archbishop Chaput has written an eloquent essay about what that means for our culture.
I just wanted to highlight a passage he writes about the several friends he has who are parents of children with different kinds of genetic disorders—just because I thought it was lovely.
He’s no Pollyanna about what it takes to raise... READ MORE
