Thank you John for opening your heart to pro life. I believe every Catholic should be pro life (without a doubt) because life itself is beautiful and amazing especially if we live in accordance with the Gospel. Christ said himself, “I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). God intended for us to have a complete, holy, full and abundant life if we allow his provisions. Let us encourage everyone to support our church in the pro life movement. 40 days for Life is a Global Organization that was established in response to the Planned Parenthood abortion clinics (1998). In our Archdiocese we have 2 events happening each year to promote prayer vigil, fasting, and peaceful rally to end abortion happening at our local abortion clinics. San Gabriel Region diocese hosts this rally right before Advent and during Holy Week. For more info please contact Rainier Banzuela – St. Martha Advocate.

Thanks for sharing your input. I know that there are services for those women who are catholic and have had an abortion. I believe it’s called Rachel’s vineyard. They help counsel women after an abortion has happened. Its an example of how the church continues to show love for those suffering from the post effects of the abortion. I actually wear my retreat shirts A lot when i go into these organizations that support planned parenthoood. Its my small gesture of defending the church and speaking for the unborn children.

It’s only been recently that I’ve switch sides from pro-choice to pro-life and that’s from understanding the whys about church’s teachings on the topic. What turned me around is the loving response advocated by the church, and not necessarily because of the things that say “You’re wrong”. I think we need to lovingly explain the stance and the reasons without the accusations, shaming, or guilt trips and let people come to the conclusion on their own. Maybe a topic for another day.
