Today is the Day of Prayer for the legal protection of unborn children.

The 2019 March for Life was a great success! People from across the country, and the world, met in D.C. to march for the rights of the preborn! We are the Pro-Life Generation and we will abolish abortion! #MarchForLife pic.twitter.com/one3YoA3eF

2. Abby Johnson and the actress who plays her in the upcoming movie, Unplanned — the story of her leaving Planned Parenthood and why:

ABBY JOHNSON, pro-life activist is joined by actress ASHLEY BRATCHER to talk about the new film UNPLANNED that tells the story of ABBY JOHNSON's time as director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas and how she left the abortion industry.

When some hear the difficult life situations many birth mothers come from, they casually ask “why don’t they just abort?” This includes people of faith. Every day but especially today, 46 years since #RoevWade , I’m grateful for the strength of birth mothers.

4. From a Cardinal Dolan homily in D.C. Friday morning before the March:

We acknowledge as well that, well, we have enemies . . .

They detest us . . . we love them;



They curse us . . . we bless them;


They mock us . . . we pray for them;

We invite them to a coalition to at least lower the number of abortions; to set reasonable limits, as the last Marist poll shows 75% of Americans want; to work with us to protest the choice . . . yes, the choice of a woman to have her baby, with sensible counseling, sonograms, and the provision of all the support a mom needs to hold her newborn, and they say no.

They are ready now to pop the champagne corks in Albany as the state already notorious as the most radical abortion state in the union feels driven to expand it even more, dropping the need for only physicians to perform them – – so much for the “health of the woman” – – and allowing a baby who survives the scalpel, scissors, suction machine, and saline solution to die without any help.

This is the culture of death, no longer a hyperbole . . . and they too have unity and friends.


They bristle at our perseverance, our resilience, our youth, our triumphs however few. They will outspend us, out lobby us, caricature us, and hope to outlaw us.

They want to paralyze us. Well, they cringe further when we smile and love and tell them we welcome paralysis . . . for we are then that paralytic with the four friends who lowers us for healing and strength to our best friend, Jesus, who says to us, “Rise, stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!”
