St. Matthew Catholic Church at 25 Wilkins Rd., Winder, GA 30680 US - Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA)
| Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) |
A nation that kills it's own children is a nation without a future.- Pope John Paul II
Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching the people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion. " Mother Teresa
2) Partial birth abortions would be legal and have no limitations.
3) All U.S. tax payers would be funding abortions. Actually, tax payers do this now. Planned Parenthood receives Federal funding even though it is a for-profit business. The Mexico City Policy (instituted by President Ronald Reagan and revived by President George W. Bush) will likely be rescinded once again. If it is, taxpayers will also be paying for abortions in foreign countries.
4) Parental notification can no longer be required.
Perhaps most importantly the government will now have control in the issue of abortion. That, alone, is a disturbing precedent. This could result in a future amendment that would force women by law to have abortions in certain situations (rape, down syndrome babies, etc) and could even regulate how many children women are allowed to have. Sadly, even though the majority of Americans oppose unrestricted abortion, they don't believe that those things could happen in the United States.
This information is disturbing, but unfortunately true. As Catholics, as Christians, as anyone who is against the needless killing of innocent children, we must stand as one. We must stop this horrific act before it becomes a law.
The Plan :
To say a novena ( 9 days of prayer ) along with fasting starting on January 11th. For Catholics, the prayer of choice will be the rosary with intentions to stop the FOCA. For non-Catholics I encourage you to pray your strongest prayers with the same intentions for nine consecutive days. The hope is that this will branch and blossom as to become a global effort with maximum impact. We have very little time so we all must act fast. Just do three things:
1) Pass this letter to 5 or more people
2) Do it in three days or less
3) Start the novena on January 11th and pray for nine consecutive days.
4) If your health permits, fast for at least two days during this time.
Remember that with God all things are possible and the power of prayer is undeniable. If you are against the senseless killing of defenseless children then the time is now to do something about it!
