Support Bill to Stop Abortion of Pain-Capable Unborn
Take Action Now!
DEMAND THAT THE US SENATE VOTE
ON PROTECTING PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILDREN
WASHINGTON (November 12, 2013) — At a press conference on November 7, I joined U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in announcing introduction of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (S. 1670) in the U.S. Senate.
This bill would protect unborn children from abortion, nationwide, beginning at 20 weeks fetal age, based on scientific evidence that by this stage of development (if not earlier), the baby will experience excruciating pain when subjected to typical late abortion procedures. This is the most important single pro-life bill to be proposed in Congress since the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act was enacted ten years ago.
This new bill (S. 1670) is based directly on the model legislation crafted by National Right to Life, which has already been enacted in 10 states. With strong backing from National Right to Life, a virtually identical bill (H.R. 1797) has already passed the U.S. House of Representatives. Now, it is time to demand that the U.S. Senate vote on this landmark legislation. But that won’t happen without your help. Continue reading

From the leaders of the national 40 Days for Life program:
Day 40! As another 40 Days for Life campaign comes to an end today, we look back at all the amazing blessings God has poured out in 306 locations in ten countries around the world.
These blessings include children that were scheduled to be aborted over these past 40 days … who are now alive because of your prayers and witness. I want to personally thank you for all of your sacrifices on behalf of those who are unable to speak for themselves.

OUR LADY OF FATIMA ROSARY RALLY BRINGS THE YOUTH
A beautiful, sunny autumn day brought an incredible turnout of over 40 prolifers of all ages — but especially young people — to the prayer site on Perlman Drive for the 12 to 1 pm hour on Saturday. The occasion was the Our Lady of Fatima Rosary Rally.
There were groups from St. Joseph’s in Spring Valley, St. Peter’s in Haverstraw, and an especially large contingent from St. John’s in Piermont, the Immaculate Heart of Mary Youth Ministery.
Passing motorists cheered and honked, and the young people and their chaperones displayed their signs — many of which they made themselves — prayed the Rosary for Life.
There was joy on Perlman Drive in Spring Valley this afternoon!
