STATEN ISLAND, Ny., April 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today urged Christians to participate in tomorrow's 57th Annual National Day of Prayer, and to include the unborn in their prayers.
"On this National Day of Prayer, we turn to God in Jesus' Name, and His blessing on our nation, our leaders, and our fellow citizens. Moreover, we pray for an end to the most pervasive form of violence, that which occurs against children in the womb."
Fr. Pavone praised Shirley Dobson and her entire team for the work they put into this annual effort. "It is an inspiration to see all that the Dobsons have done for our nation and for the Body of Christ."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.
Amen!

Lord I agree and ask that our People humble themselves, and that those in other countries do likewise without coveting what is in America and instead work to make their own cities and states more like the Founding Fathers designed the USA-—and that we do likewise here-—in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

I am pro-life. Over the years as this debate continues, both my husband and I; in our personal and our academic lives, have written on our common position on this subject. Right now, we do not have equal protection under the law as guaranteed to us by our Constitution as long as children are being aborted.
The following is a summation of my family’s principals and my political views:
We have to respect and protect all human life: To each individual their life is sacred. As a people, to begin to pass judgment or sentence on human life by age, quality, position or potential has the effect of placing a price or a measure on what can only be deemed a gift from our creator.
However, there is a paradox of life and rights:
Our rights as a people for individual-self-government are based upon the uniqueness of human life with rights granted by 'nature's God,' which in turn are protected by our Constitution.
One must follow the other, or else the entire argument of human rights becomes based on man's opinion.
Either life with rights is given at the same time that life begins or we have no rights beyond which other men or governments are willing to allow us.
If we as a people do not respect the sacred notion of human LIFE how can we expect to have respect for RIGHTS that are dependent upon the concept of human LIFE itself?
Any society of free individuals that diminishes the value of one human life from another risks its very existence.
