Life: What
we believe influences how we act
Part Two,
Part One
Editor’s note. Please send me

One of our friends in Minnesota—the home state
for my wife and myself—forwarded us a message
from Archbishop John C. Nienstedt, of the
Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. It
appears online at
http://thecatholicspirit.com/main.asp?SectionID=14&SubSectionID=14&ArticleID=962&TM=68589.39.
It came with such high praise that I read
Archbishop Nienstedt’s message immediately. All
of it is fascinating but space allows me to
mention just one of his many excellent points.
We must always remember that “caution,” or
“limitation” are not words found in
pro-abortionists’ vocabulary. There are NEVER
enough abortions, either here in the United
States or throughout the world. That is one
among many reasons pro-abortionists are obsessed
with eliminating the Mexico City Policy. They
are desperately determined to undermine
protective abortion laws in the developing
world.
Archbishop Nienstedt’s message brings that
closer to home. He reminds his readers that from
2005 to 2006, there was a 5% increase in
abortions in Minnesota—“ and a 16 percent
increase in the number of abortions performed on
minors.”
As the saying goes this is no accident. Planned
Parenthood opened two “abortion-feeder ‘express
clinics’” in two Metro-area suburbs. They sent
out postcards to teenagers promising a
full-range of “confidential no-exam services,”
including pregnancy testing.
Their card adds, "Stop in and check out our
funky jewelry, Mrs. Kelly's teas and cool spa
products." Archbishop Nienstedt concludes, “One
could call this approach ‘pandering to the
immature and naïve.’”
Over 48 million abortions performed in the
United States since 1973--with PPFA busy
solidifying its role as the largest single
provider of abortion. Enough’s enough, right?
Hardly. There is NEVER enough death and misery
for the likes of Planned Parenthood.
