Scottish Sisters Push Walk for Life West Coast!

From the Walk for Life West Coast blog comes this post about the Sisters of the Gospel of Life in Scotland. The sisters were commenting on this year's new Walk for Life West Coast video:

"This is from the website of the Sisters of the Gospel of Life, in Scotland. According to LifeSiteNews they are the first new order of nuns founded in Scotland in 150 years!

'The second biggest pro-life walk in the U.S. (after the March for Life in D.C) is coming up on the 26th January 2013.

You may think a walk for life isn’t relevant for you here in the U.K. Why would we watch or talk about it when we are so far away from all that is happening in the U.S.? Here’s a couple of points to think about;

it gives you a great, warm feeling inside to see so many other people being positive about the situation we are in regarding the wanton destruction of unborn babies - we are not alone in feeling this is the most important cause!

it is encouraging to us across the water to see what is possible with organisation and commitment to the cause

lastly it can galvanise us to keep going even when we feel despair, frustration and pain for all those babies killed by abortion and their mothers.

Let’s do all we can to promote this video and who knows maybe one day we will be promoting our own massive walk for life in the U.K.? Miracles do happen you know.'

God bless the good sisters! Let us pray for them and support their work–there is a donation button at the provided links."

This strikes me as an example of God creating good from bad. There had not been a new order of Catholic nuns in Scotland for 150 years. Abortion in Scotland was then legalized. That horrific situation resulted in the Lord God raising up prophets. Indeed, God bless the good sisters!

January 19: Walter Hoye to MC at Walk for Life San Diego!

On January 19 Pro-Lifers from many religious denominations will join together for the Walk for Life San Diego, under the principle “Life is Magnificent.” The event will begin at 9:00 AM at the city’s Balboa Park, at the corner of 6th Avenue and Laurel Street. The master of ceremonies will be our friend the pro-life hero Walter Hoye, best known for being imprisoned for passing out leaflets in front of an Oakland, California abortion business. Hoye’s conviction was later overturned.

Rallies and speeches will take place both before and after the Walk. The invocation will be given by Father Nabil Mouannes, a Maronite Catholic priest. Fr. Mouannes serves as Pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Maronite Church in Carmichael, California, and has long ties to the San Diego area. Until earlier this year he was serving as pastor of St. Ephrem in El Cajon. On September 8, 2008, San Diego’s then-auxiliary bishop, Salvatore Cordileone, joined Fr. Mouannes at St. Ephrems for a rosary procession and Mass for the Novena for the Protection of Life. Fr. Mouannes is also active in the 40 Days for Life campaign. Other clergy joining Fr. Mouannes on the podium will be Dr. Jim Garlow, lead pastor of the Skyline Church in La Mesa. Skyline Church is a member of the Wesleyan Denomination and has an average weekly attendance of 2,500 persons. In addition to his support of the unborn, Pastor Garlow is known for his support of natural marriage, and is a leader in the “Pulpit Initiative” movement, which encourages pastors to speak out on moral issues which inevitably arise in the democratic political process. The benediction will be given by Pastor Matthew Richardt, of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Escondido. Pastor Richardt has also been active in the 40 Days for Life campaign, and Gloria Dei Lutheran helps support the Alternatives Women’s Center, a pro-life crisis pregnancy center in Escondido.

Lay speakers include Ms. Charmaine Yoest, of Americans United for Life; sidewalk counselor Roger Lopez; Leslie Brunolli, the San Diego regional coordinator of the Silent No More Awareness campaign; and Dr. George Delgado, the medical director of Culture of Life Family Services. Culture of Life Family Services describes itself as “a family medicine practice, caring for the entire community through family medical care, natural family planning education, psychological counseling, and spiritual direction.” Women who have faced crisis pregnancies will also be represented. They include Caroline, Dran, and Tamara, (no last names given) who will share their testimony, and how they decided to “Choose Life.”

Exhibitors at the rally will include John Paul the Great Catholic University, The Ruth Institute, the Issues4Life Foundation, a number of organization which help women in crisis pregnancies, and 40 Days for Life.

Court Prevents NJ Hospital From Forcing Nurses to help Abort Children

A court has stepped in to prevent New Jersey nurses from being forced to participate in abortions against their will and conscience. The attempt to force them to do so is illegal.

Today, from the great Andy McCarthy, writing at The Corner:

"I am informed that a federal judge in Newark today issued a temporary restraining order protecting nurses from being coerced by the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey to assist in the performance of abortions. As noted here yesterday, the state hospital has been attempting to force nurses to participate in abortions despite federal and state law which holds that those who conscientiously object may refrain from participation.

The TRO extends only for two weeks — until November 18. That is, even though the TRO really does nothing other than require the state hospital to obey the law, UMDNJ did not agree to obey the law permanently — in order to promote abortion, it apparently intends to fight against the laws that safeguard freedom of conscience.
