(A3d) Pro Life Resources

Pro Life people are the Pro Life Movement's greatest resource. The first article indicates some of the things Pro Life people can do to end abortion. ******* As of this date, 06-02-01, this folder contains 4 items. ******* item 1 HOW TO EXPOSE THE EVIL OF ABORTION ******* item 2 National Crisis Pregnancy Center (CPC) Group Says ULTRASOUND COULD HELP END ABORTION ******* item 3 LIFE CYCLE BOOKS ******* item 4 ELLIOTT INSTITUTE RESOURCE KIT ********************************************************************************************************************* ******* item 1 HOW TO EXPOSE THE EVIL OF ABORTION ******* From: from Father Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life via "SueW" and "Suzanne Fortin" ******* Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 20:07:11 -0500 ******* I have spent more than half my life strategizing about how the people of God can most effectively fight and end abortion. There is no one line that summarizes my conclusions better than what St. Paul wrote in Ephesians 5:11, "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." ******* Evil flourishes when it is hidden; injustice festers when the victim is unseen. And history demonstrates that those who have overcome social injustices have followed Paul's advice to expose the evil. For instance, those who fought the slave trade in Britain went to the ports to draw pictures of the boats and how the slaves were kept in them like sardines. ******* Exposing evil causes it to collapse under its own weight, as it confronts the light of human conscience. Overcoming injustice does not require that everyone believe it is injustice. There is, rather, a critical mass at some point in the spectrum, when "enough" people are so convinced. The good news is that those people already have the conscience to reject the evil. The problem is that the evil hasn't been sufficiently exposed for them to see it. ******* So it is with abortion. The more it is exposed, the more people reject it. Public opinion on abortion in America has been amazingly stable since Roe vs. Wade. The most significant shift occurred when the details of the partial-birth abortion procedure were exposed in the mid-nineties. Never did a larger audience see and hear in more detail what abortion actually is. ******* Abortion needs to be exposed in five distinct ways: ******* Statistics. Most Americans have no idea of the immense numbers of abortions, or that abortions occur throughout pregnancy. The abortion supporters themselves provide us the statistics. See the Alan Guttmacher Institute's website, www.agi-usa.org. Just seeing these facts awakens many people that a change in abortion policy is necessary. ******* Descriptions. Medical textbooks like Abortion Practice use the word "decapitate" and "dismember" to describe what happens to the baby in abortion. Moreover, there are now more sworn court testimonies from practicing abortionists than ever before, on all different abortion procedures (see www.priestsforlife.org/pba). Again, the abortionists' own words work against them! When we expose evil in this way, nobody can accuse us of making it up! ******* Photos. Show people what abortion looks like, and they will never feel the same about it again. See how the photos impact people by reading their testimonies at www.priestsforlife.org/resources/abortionimages/graphicspraise.htm. ******* Devastation to women, men, and families. More and more mothers, fathers, and families of aborted children speak out about how they have been devastated. The power of their testimony changes minds and hearts. (See www.SilentNoMoreAwareness.org/testmonies). ******* Corruption in the abortion industry. Read the book Lime 5 (contact us) and see how malpractice, fraud, and sexual abuse are rampant in legal abortion clinics. See www.ClinicWorker.com to learn of other abuses and violations. ******* The road to ending abortion is clearly open in front of us. Simply take the evidence above and put it before the conscience of everyone you can. ******* Comments on this column?

How Science is Changing the Debate." ******* "Newsweek is doing what Life failed to do 38 years ago when it published a series of photographs on the different stages of embryonic development. Newsweek has taken the next step by asking the ultimate question, and the editors are to be commended. ******* "When the truth about life is accurately portrayed, women will understand abortion is not a positive option and we will win the debate every single time. Newsweek points out ultrasound pictures pack such an emotional punch that even the most hard-line abortions-rights supporters will find themselves questioning their beliefs. Newsweek helped us present our side of the story," said Entsminger. ****** Entsminger, who has headed up Care Net's public policy efforts, has been involved in drafting and lobbying for passage of ultrasound legislation currently being considered in Congress. ******* The bill, dubbed the Informed Choice Act, will enable pregnancy centers to apply for grants to receive ultrasound machines allowing women to see their unborn children before choosing abortion. ******* Mr. Entsminger said Care Net would be distributing complementary copies of the Newsweek story to all 535 Members of Congress, asking them to co-sponsor the ultrasound bill currently pending in both legislative chambers. ******* "NARAL and Planned Parenthood are on record opposing the Informed Choice Act. They don't want women to see ultrasound pictures because they know ultrasounds deter women from getting abortions. One abortionist on Long Island even said, The bottom line is no woman is going to want an abortion after she sees a sonogram.' ******** "If NARAL and Planned Parenthood are really pro-choice as they claim, why do they oppose a woman's right to see an ultrasound picture of her unborn baby? In a truly pro-choice America, women should be fully informed about all pregnancy options. That is exactly what our network of 700 pregnancy centers is committed to do," said Entsminger. The Informed Choice Act, which Care Net supports, requires that every women receiving ultrasound services be given the right to see the images of their unborn children. ******* Before his appointment as Care Net's new President, Entsminger served as Care Net's Executive Vice President and General Counsel. ******* You can receive each Pro-Life Infonet news story as a separate email.
