Commentary: The March for Life and Christian Unity Week
Catholic Online ^ | 1/22/08 | Deacon Keith Fournier

On January 22, 2009 thousands will gather in Washington, D.C. to give their voice to our neighbors in the first home of the whole human race. These are the children who await their welcome among us upon birth. These littlest neighbors need our voice because theirs is being muffled behind the wall of their mother’s womb, once considered the first refuge of safety. There in their first experience of the interdependency which reveals the truth about our humanity, where they are supposed to be embraced by the warmth of love, they are vulnerable to the worst kind of domestic violence. At any moment the weapons of the first “pre-emptive war”, voluntary abortion, may be wielded against them for any reason. Make no mistake; these are weapons of death and destruction - chemical, surgical or suction – being used to kill them deliberately for any or no reason. That is the cold, hard truth about every procured abortion.

No one with integrity any longer argues that the child killed through abortion is not a human being. When the abortion occurs through miscarriage we properly enter into the mourning of the mother over the loss of “her baby”. However, when the mother is deceived into a voluntary abortion we use a different vocabulary. Most people now acknowledge that these children killed by abortion are human persons. A few hold on to the dangerous notion that dependency upon others makes someone less of a person. However, medical science has confirmed what our consciences and the Natural Law told us all along, these victims of the first “preemptive war” are human beings just like us.

From Obama’s own Inaugural Address:

“...and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.”

And yet, he thinks nothing of supporting the slaughter of innocents with our tax dollars. Call the White House and register your protest.

Indeed. When we look at western culture,our differences seem few. As a protestant, I welcome this growing communion. There is a lot we can together.
