My Pro-Life Life

I sent the following letter to the Governor of Tennessee: Dear Governor Lee, I recently read in our local newspaper that you “support a push to ban abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected.” As someone who is actively pro-life, I would like to thank you for taking such a stance. It is very encouraging to know that there are government leaders who are willing to defend life. I will pray that the heartbeat bill passes, and I have had a Mass said for your intentions.

You said a ‘doctor!” And the woman, not a doctor, just looked at him and said, “Take it or leave it.”      When McQueen told Wood they were getting out of there, she caught a glimpse of the abortionist’s tools on a...

      This sermon was written by Fr. Kevin Drew of the Diocese Kansas City-St. Joseph, Missouri, for the Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time, February 3rd, 2019.      Pregnant Cow That Broke Free on New Jersey Highway Inspires New Legislation.      That was the headline ten days ago, on January 22 from a CBS news affiliate in New Jersey. It was reported that back in December a cow jumped off a truck that was 10 minutes from the slaughter house. A beaming anchorwoman said this “daring escape” by the cow inspired a new bill that would make transporting pregnant livestock for killing a crime under New Jersey’s animal cruelty laws.      Then the anchorwoman gleefully reported that the newly named “Briana” the cow, now living in a sanctuary home for animals, had recently given birth to a happy and healthy baby cow. The date of this cute animal story, January 22 was the 46th anniversary of the legalization of abortion. A few ye...
