Culture of Life.............   Lord, You are the Source of  life 

Respect Life Committee

The Senate is currently debating a healthcare bill that includes TAXPAYER FUNDED ABORTION.   Please, take a few minutes today to call:

Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (202) 224-3224  and 856-338-8922

Senator Robert “Bob” Menendez (202) 224-4744 and 856-757-5353 

Ask them to vote NO on the Harry Reid pro-abortion healthcare bill.

                  REAL HEALTHCARE REFORM IS ABOUT SAVING LIVES

NOT DESTROYING THEM!

Pray for the Senate to remove this horror.   Make no mistake:  The Senate health care bill will allow federal funding of abortion at an unprecedented level.  Well over a million babies in America are lost every year to privately funded abortions.  If our tax dollars are allowed to increase the funding of this tragedy, there will be more abortion clinics and more children will be killed.   For over 30 years, the Hyde Amendment and other laws have prohibited federal funding of elective abortions. In the years since Roe vs. Wade, there have been many battles to stop the loss of innocent children’s lives this decision caused.  To date, there is no more important fight than keeping government funds away from the abortion industry.  Abortionists do not need a government bail out.   We must also insist that healthcare legislation protects the conscience rights of our Catholic doctors, nurses and hospitals; protects the disabled; and protects the elderly.

Make  your voice heard!

It is also very effective to e-mail Congress.  The web sites below will take you directly to  very simple e-mail forms.  And don’t forget our representative, John Adler.  He has been very supportive of protecting life.  Take time to thank him!  At some time in the future, there may be debate trying to combine the two bills, so we need to stay in touch with both the Senate and the House with making our views known.

Representative John Adler  (202) 225-4765 and 856-985-2777

For those of you who do not yet know, the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is set to be signed by our new president if congress passes it.   If made a law, virtually all limitations on abortion will be lifted, which will result in the following:

1) All hospitals, including Catholic hospitals, would be required to perform abortions upon request. If this were to happen, some U.S. Bishops have indicated they would consider closing down Catholic hospitals - more then 30% of all hospitals in the United States are Catholic - rather than perform abortions.

2) Partial birth abortions would be legal and have no limitations.

3) All U.S. tax payers would be funding abortions.

4) Parental notification will no longer be required.

5) The number of abortions could increase by as much as 100,000 annually.

Perhaps most importantly the government will now have control in the issue of abortion. This could result in a future amendment that would force women by law to have abortions in certain situations (rape, down syndrome babies, etc) and could even regulate how many children a woman is allowed to have.

Needless to say, this information is disturbing, but sadly true. As Catholics, as Christians, as anyone who is against the needless killing of innocent children, we must stand as one. We must stop this horrific act before it becomes a law.


 Remember that with God all things are possible and the power of prayer is undeniable. If you are against the senseless killing of defenseless children then the time is now to do something about it!

As Catholic Christians, we are encouraged to find ways in our every day lives to support

life in positive ways – not just with our families, friends, neighbors and co-workers but also with the elderly, the frail and chronically ill, the disabled and the unborn.  In other words,

we are challenged to be a voice for those who have little worth economically or politically.   All life is precious and is God’s gift to us.  We are not to judge the value of life by society’s standards.  All human life, from conception to natural death, is made in the image of our God.

The Respect Life Ministry at Holy Eucharist seeks to provide education as well as to provide opportunities to help develop a culture that is life affirming.  Our web page will provide new and informative materials each month that will help educate us all on issues such as stem cell research, abortion, euthanasia, disabilities, brain death and more.

To find out practical ways that you can help this ministry call Mario Dianora at              609-654-8916 or contact him at dianoramd@verizon.net.

“Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia.  There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not…with regard to abortion and euthanasia.”
