Sister Brigid from the Sisters of Life in Montebello helps load a trunkful of green scarves for the Rockland marchers.
It’s traditional for participants at the March for Life in Washington to wear distinctive colors to identify themselves. These green scarves let everyone know we’re New Yorkers — and they’re so nice and warm too!
The scarves are provided each year from the Family Life/Respect Life Office of the Archdiocese of New York.

This video is a blockbuster! Very powerful! And, ironically, it uses the words of Pres. Barack Obama. Listen carefully to his words, but the video makers want you to take them beyond the context of the Newtown killings (which is what he’s actually talking about) — and apply their message of respect for the dignity of human life and the preciousness of our children . . . to the unborn. If only Obama could see that.
In yesterday’s State of the State address, N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo pledged to pass the Reproductive Health Act, a controversial bill designed to further liberalize abortion law in New York State. New York’s abortion regime is among the most liberal on Planet Earth already. The notion that women need more access to abortion in New York is simply preposterous. Read more here.
Planned Parenthood performed 333,964 abortions in 2011 — a new record for the organization, according to its latest annual report.
And during this time they received $542 million in taxpayer funding. Read more here.
According to National Right to LIfe Director of Education and Research Randall K. O’Bannion, PhD, that breaks down to 1 abortion every 94 seconds.

There will be prayer all day outside Planned Parenthood in Spring Valley in observance of the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion America. The victims have been 55 million babies — as well as wounded parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles, and all of us in society.

On Jan. 19 from 12 noon to 4 p.m. there will be four hours of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade at St. Boniface’s Church, 5 Willow Tree Road in Monsey.
The coordinators ask all dedicated to life to pray for an end to the culture of death in our nation.
As we mark the 40th anniversary of the Roe V. Wade, which legalized abortion at any time for any reason throughout pregnancy, Time magazine published an article showing that the pro-abortion side is losing the abortion debate.
The article is only available online to Time subscribers, but here’s the promotional video.
