mercy and truth : praise and proclaim

"If you are apposed to abortion then there is bad news on the horizon.  For those of you who don't know, the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is set to be signed if the US Congress passes it on January 21-22 of 2009.  The FOCA is the next sick chapter in the book of abortion.

If made a law then all limitation on abortion will be lifted which will result in the following:

1) All hospitals, including Catholic hospitals will be required to perform abortions upon request...

2) Partial birth abortions would be legal and have no limitations.

3) All U.S. tax payers would be funding abortions.

4) Parental notification will no longer be required.

5) The number of abortions would increase by a minimum of 100,000 annually.

Perhaps most importantly the government will now have control in the issue of abortions.  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.  Needless to say this information is disturbing, but sadly 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."
