JANUARY 11- Someday history and the judgment of a just God will ask of our times:  “Who spoke up for life?”  Will you be able to say I did, Lord?  Join pro-life today.

JANUARY 25- “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.    Abortion is evil.

MARCH 22--“Abortion and racism are both symptoms of a fundamental human error. The error is thinking that when someone stands in the way of our wants, we can justify getting that person out of our lives. Abortion and racism stem from the same poisonous root, selfishness.” — Alveda King

MARCH 29-“Reproductive rights’ has long been a euphemism for destroying human life in the womb… A phrase that sounds like empowerment is really only code for the subjugation of preborn children,” — Lila Rose, founder and president of the pro-life group Live Action

APRIL 5-“To be actively pro-life is to contribute to the renewal of society through the promotion of the common good. It’s impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop.” St. John Paul II

MAY 10- “The bond between mother and child is the strongest bond on earth. It should never be broken.” – Pope Francis

MAY 24- “It is a characteristic of any decaying civilization that the great masses of the people are unconscious of the tragedy.  Humanity in a crisis is generally insensitive to the gravity of the times in which it lives.  Men do not want to believe their own times are wicked, partly because it involves too much self-accusation and principally because they have no standards outside of themselves by which to measure their times.” Bishop Fulton J. Sheen   Abortion and euthanasia are tragedies.

JUNE 7-“The commandment ‘Thou shalt not kill’ has absolute value when it refers to the innocent person.

JUNE 14- If you believe fathers should be more involved in decisions affecting the child they helped create, you’re right.  This Father’s Day, pray for all fathers that they will be protective of their children, pre-born and born.  May God bless all fathers this day.  

JUNE 21-“If one is to be deprived of life because of potential for developing physical problems, consistency would dictate that those who already have such deficiencies should likewise be terminated. Continuing, then, those who are infirm, incompetent, or inconvenient should be eliminated by those in power. Such irreverence for life is unthinkable!” Reverence for Life

JUNE- Compassion is the foundation of the pro-life cause.  The best way to make the world a better place is to let every child live.

JULY 5-“To claim the right to abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia, and to recognize that right in law, means to attribute to human freedom a perverse and evil significance…The right to life is the most basic and fundamental right that is and must be protected.” – St. John Paul II

JULY 12-There is no greater injustice in the world today than the shedding of the innocent blood of unborn children…We will never be able to build a culture of life if we do not respect the dignity of the human person. We must build our society as it once was founded, upon respect for life and right to life.

SEPTEMBER 6- “Some people argue that changing laws will not eliminate abortions. It is certainly true that a change of heart is more important than a change of law. What is forgotten, however, is that the law is the great teacher. Children grow up believing that if a practice is legal, it must be moral." John Cardinal O’Connor

SEPTEMBER 13-"Find the courage to proclaim Christ,... and the unchanging truths which have their foundation in Him. These are the truths that set us free! They are the truths which alone can guarantee respect for the inalienable dignity and rights of each man, woman and child in our world - including the most defenseless of all human beings, the unborn child in the mother's womb.- Pope Benedict XVI

SEPTEMBER 20-“Abortion kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother. Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: Half the babies and all the mothers.” — Mother Teresa

SEPTEMBER 27- Nothing is easier than self-deceit.  Some have convinced themselves that abortion is a woman’s “right”.  That is the ultimate self-deceit.   A nation that kills its unborn children cannot teach its citizens to love one another.

OCTOBER 4- “We need to witness to the Gospel of life through our own lives, lovingly accepting the gift of life, and protecting and fostering it at every stage and in every circumstance.” – St. John Paul II

The child born from that pregnancy became the renowned composer Ludwig van Beethoven.”  Every life is precious.

NOVEMBER 8- “Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains forever in a special relationship with the Creator.” – St. John Paul II 

NOVEMBER  15- The right to life is not a woman’s issue. The Lord is the giver of life and only He can make choices about life. It is always a reward to have life; only the Lord gives and takes life.” — Margaret Heckler, former Secretary of Health, Welfare, and Education

NOVEMBER  22- God’s mercy calls us to protect every life, especially those that society overlooks—the child yet to be born and the elderly nearing their journey’s end—because each bears Christ’s face. 

NOVEMBER  29-“It’s not good for women to go through the procedure [abortion] and have something living sucked out of their bodies. It belittles women. Even though some women say, ‘Oh, I don’t mind to have one,’ every time a woman has an abortion, it just crushes her self-esteem smaller and smaller and smaller.” — Dolores O’Riordan

DECEMBER 6- Abortion is poorly veiled social injustice with consequences for all children.  The silence of the unborn is deafening; we must be their voice.

DECEMBER 13-I’m not ‘anti-choice.’ You have the choice of abstinence, adoption, and parenthood. You just can’t kill your baby.

DECEMBER 20- “A society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members.” – St. John Paul II
