Episode 1: Recall Abortion

A new book by Janet Morana that delves deeply into abortion as a bad product that should be recalled by our government, and explores what women who have abortions recall about the experience. She traces the societal changes that brought about abortion, and covers many of the arguments for keeping abortion legal, including at-risk mothers, victims of rape and incest, and fetal anomalies.  Go to RecallAbortion.com to purchase the book and sign the petition.

Action: Encourage your Priests.  Our brochures How to Encourage Your Priest to be Actively Pro-Life, and A Letter to My Priest, provide helpful guidance. We send our newsletter to every priest in the country, but you may want to verify with your priest that he receives and reads it. Also, be sure to point out to your priest that we publish on this website suggested petitions for the General Intercessions, both in English and in Spanish, that are geared to the readings of each Sunday of the Year. Likewise, alert him to the bulletin inserts that are available, both from the website and in camera-ready format.

Episode 12: Remembering Dr Bernard Nathanson

He was a key architect of the abortion industry.  You’ll hear him explain the single most important element both of his success, and of ours.  You can find out more about Dr. Nathanson being one of the architects of the abortion industry in Janet Morana's book, Recall Abortion.

Guest: Clip of Dr Bernard Nathanson. 

Action: Use Pro-life License Plates.  There are two ways to use your automobile's license plate to promote the pro-life message. First, you can change your license number itself to a pro-life message. For example, "ProLife1" or "Yes2Life" are possible license plates. Use your creativity, and check with your state Department of Motor Vehicles to see what plates are available.  Second, in many states, specialty pro-life plates are available. You keep your regular license number, but the frame of the plate conveys a "Choose Life" message, and the proceeds for these plates support alternatives to abortion. Choose-Life.org.  Of course, along with license plates, you can always let your vehicle spread the pro-life message through bumperstickers and static stickers.
