Blessing of a Child in the Womb

A wonderful new blessing!

This morning, on my Facebook feed a wonderful image caught my eye—an ultrasound scan, shared by friends announcing that they had learned the gender of their soon to be born son. With great joy, they shared his name. This will enable me to add him—by name—to my prayer list, months before he arrives on the scene. Naming him, seeing his photo, and knowing his parents’ great joy helps me to celebrate... READ MORE 


Tweeting for Life

#IAmProLife ... are you?

Last week’s Twitter trend of tweeting “I had an abortion” started people talking about life issues on Twitter.

I wrote a column for the Washington Post that challenged the wisdom of women cheerfully tweeting about their abortions and shutting those who regret their abortions out of the conversation.

Then I was officially “in it” on Twitter.

I had some thoughtful conversations with people who disagree with me, but I was also treated to enough angry vitriol that I decided we could better serve the pro-life cause with positive action. So I asked pro-lifers on Twitter to use an #IAmProLife hashtag and tell us why. I will be re-tweeting people’s responses at my Twitter account all day today.

If you are on Twitter, please join us in making a positive statement in defense of the unborn. And encourage your followers to do the same. Let your pro-life voice be heard!


Simple, Powerful, Pro-Life Ad

40 seconds of important education

Here’s an amazingly simple and yet powerful pro-life ad. It was originally produced as a radio ad in Ireland, but was banned for being “too political.” Now, thanks to the power of YouTube and the efforts of Irish pro-life group Youth Defence, it’s finding a wider audience. Perhaps you can help pass it on!


Stunning Photos of Unborn Animals

All Babies Are Beautiful

Isn’t this photo of a baby elephant in utero amazing?

I found all these photos of unborn animal babies in the womb/egg astonishingly beautiful.

Isn’t God good?


A Pro-Life Prayer

for today and every day

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
