Fifty Five Ignore Threat of Rain to Attend 2nd Annual Interfaith Way of the Cross for Abortion Victims!
The threat of rain
could not deter the fifty five attendees of the 2nd Annual
Interfaith Way of the Cross for Abortion Victims outside of Planned Parenthood,
3100 Professional Drive in Ann Arbor on the gloomy Good Friday morning of April 18th. Just as we approached the tenth station where Jesus was
stripped of His garments, an ever so slight drizzle came upon us. By the time Jesus
was laid in His tomb at the fourteenth station, the rain stopped. What a
blessing! Leading us in prayer were
Deacon Larry Randolph from Christ the King Catholic Church in Ann Arbor and Pastor Bryan Schindel of Cross and Resurrection Lutheran
Church in Ypsilanti. Also in attendance were Pastor Mike Frison and his wife
from Knox Presbyterian Church in Ann Arbor.
Through His Holy Passion, Our Lord united Himself with all
the victims of suffering in this life. None suffer more innocently than
children in the womb whose lives are taken by abortion. None suffer more deeply
than their mothers, who carry such a burden of guilt and shame.
This Good
Friday we remembered all the victims of abortion—the children lost, the mothers
wounded, the communities blighted—in this solemn, ecumenical prayer service.

An art

glamorous history of abortion. The
THE DAILY CALLER
·
Learn More, then Call and Email
The
following is a portion of a recent letter from Kristan Hawkins, President,
Students For Life of America! The
University is currently sponsoring a pro-abortion "art" display
called 4000 Years of Choice,
which declares “Abortion as a Blessing” and a “gift from God.” This directly counters the truth put forth in SFLA’s
display which tells the stories of women like Jennifer Morbelli, Karnamaya
Mongar, Tonya Reaves, and Marla Cardamone who were killed through legal
abortion.
What???
While Heather Ault is
trying to portray herself as an abortion historian, the truth is that she is
radical, abortion activist, and the University of Michigan has funded her
message through taxpayer money. Take a look at her “art” and decide for
yourself whether or not her display is not pro-abortion.
Abortion is never safe
for women, legal or illegal, and for the University of Michigan to have the
audacity to use taxpayer dollars and a taxpayer-funded building to push forth
an agenda and human rights violation that the majority of Americans oppose is
disgusting.
Can you?
1) Call the University of Michigan
President, Mary Sue Coleman, at 734-764-6270 or email her at presoff@umich.edu and demand that she sees that this display is taken down,
that all taxpayer money is returned for this event and display, and that never
again will UM align themselves so closely with abortion as to allow public
funds to be invested in a flagrant agenda to support and promote abortion.
It is an outrage for
the University of Michigan to endorse this anti-human rights message that
“abortion is a gift from God” and that it is “a blessing.” I hope you can join
us to get the university to take down this horrific display and help us reach
thousands more of students with our message of truth and hope.
For Life,
Kristan Hawkins

Send
Emails to UM President and Newspapers!
Here is a great example!
Dear President Mary Sue Coleman,
Never
in the history of civilization have people proudly and publicly proclaimed the
killing of innocent children, whether before or after birth.
It
is a shameful reflection on the women's curriculum in our public tax-supported
university that it is being done at the exhibit "4,000 years for
choice." http://www.lsa.umich.edu/women/resources/exhibitspace
Abortion
is NEVER life sustaining. Abortion is a selfish action. It destroys
the natural generosity of women. Women have been uniquely designed by the
Creator to conceive, carry and protect new life within their very body.
Double speak does not change the reality.
How
offensive this is to the women suffering from post-abortion stress syndrome.
They are the ones who accepted the lie that sex is recreational and
abortion is a solution to an untimely pregnancy. These are distortions of
the feminine human nature which understands that the sexual union is an
expression of love and seeks to protect the innocent child.
There
is no freedom in accepting the lie that women and men are the same. We
have equal dignity, but not only are we different physically, but emotionally
and psychologically. Men and women are complementary and a genuine
academic women's program would acknowledge the differences and take pride in the
particularly feminine characteristics of the female nature. Consider the works
of John Paul II and Dr. Alice von Hildebrand.
Tax-payers
deserve an apology and to have the funds that went toward this insulting
display repaid with reparations made through presentations of equal authority
on the value and contributions of (most) women toward the continuation and
nurturing of human life.
Sincerely,
President Mary Sue Coleman presoff@umich.edu

Gosnell Movie - You Can Make it Happen
Attention Pro-Life Friends!
You can help make the story of Kermit Gosnell known - Help make the movie happen!
From: Tina Whittington. Executive Vice-President, Students for Life of America
Infamous late-term abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell is behind bars for his heinous crimes. But you and I know justice still has yet to be served, because abortion is still legal in our nation. A shockingly very few people outside of the pro-life movement know of the disgusting events that took place in his Philadelphia abortion facility.
A young woman who worked at Kermit Gosnell’s "House of Horrors" as a teenager testified that she saw a baby’s chest move even after the gruesome snipping procedure Gosnell used to end the baby’s life. “The chest was moving,” she testified. The baby was so large that another worker even took a cellphone picture of it. Prosecution experts, based on the picture, say the baby was well past 24 weeks, the legal limit for abortion in Pennsylvania.
Stephen Massof, who does not have a medical license, described how he jabbed medical scissors into the backs of babies’ necks to kill them. And how he assisted Gosnell in “snipping” the spinal cords of babies, calling it, “literally a beheading. It is separating the brain from the body.”
According to a news report, Massof told the jury that women were often given drugs to speed up delivery of the baby so the abortion/infanticide could take place: He testified that at times, when women were given medicine to speed up their deliveries, “it would rain fetuses. Fetuses and blood all over the place.”
Prosecutors have cited the dozens of jars of severed baby feet as an example of Gosnell’s idiosyncratic and illegal practice of providing abortions for cash to poor women pregnant longer than the 24-week cutoff for legal abortions in Pennsylvania. In her opening statement to the Common Pleas Court jury, Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore mused that the jars of feet were some kind of bizarre “trophy” Gosnell kept.
The world needs to know about the horrors that took place in Gosnell’s clinic. And now is our chance to make sure that happens.
Filmmakers are using Indiegogo to fund the making of a made-for-TV movie based on Gosnell and his "House of Horrors."
Indiegogo enables “crowdfunding” for important projects. Indiegogo.com allows you to contribute as little as $1 or as much as $10,000 or even more. The film will cost $2.1 million to make. If they are unable to raise the full $2.1 million budget for the movie in the next few weeks, your contribution will be given back to you.
By donating – even just a dollar – you are saying that there is interest in this important film, something that will speak volumes to those in Hollywood who ignored this story, that of the largest serial killer run American history.
This is our chance to tell the world what Hollywood and mainstream media isn’t – that abortion is never safe for women or their preborn babies, legal or illegal.
Please join me TODAY in chipping in on this important campaign by going to Indiegogo.com right now and making a donation of $250, $100, $25, or even as little as $1!

Eucharistic Procession comes to Planned Parenthood, Ann Arbor
By Iris Hanlin
On the balmy Saturday morning of April 12, a crowd of 88
members of the pro-life movement gathered in the pews of St. Francis of Assisi
Catholic Church in Ann Arbor on E. Stadium Blvd. for a common purpose – to
participate in a peaceful, public procession of the Eucharist through the
streets of the city to the cul-de-sac of the Planned Parenthood at 3100
Professional Dr. as a witness of faith and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament,
and the belief in the Catholic doctrine that Jesus Christ is truly present in
the consecrated host.
“I wanted to participate in this powerful event, being in
the true presence of Jesus in the Eucharist on the streets of Ann Arbor,” says
Sally Vipperman, member of the 40 Days for Life Ann Arbor committee. “To show God’s love to Ann Arbor, joining my
voice with others who speak for the least of God’s people, a voice for the
voiceless,” she says, “as we pray for the end of legalized abortion.”

At 11:00 a.m., Deacon Rich Badics of St. Francis of Assisi
opened with prayer, and he with three members of the Knights of Columbus, led
the congregation on the 1.3 mile journey to Planned Parenthood. The voices of
those present rose as they recited the mysteries of the rosary, a prayer to Mary,
the mother of Jesus (patroness of the unborn), and upon their arrival to the
abortion facility, sang songs of praise and worship such as Amazing Grace, and How Great Thou Art.

Help Us Protest U-M's "4000 Years for Choice" Display: TOMORROW, 11AM-2PM, Friday, April 11th!
Attention Local Pro-Life Friends in Ann Arbor, MI
[Please spread this far and wide!]
As you may have heard,
the Women's Studies Department at the University of Michigan is currently
hosting a display in Lane Hall celebrating "4000 Years for Choice."
This supposedly "neutral" display, made
possible by our tax dollars, consists of over a hundred panels
containing just as many preposterous claims, including the
following:
· Abortion "is a
life-sustaining act"
· "Abortion is a
gift from God."
· "The act of
abortion positions women at their most powerful."
· "..anything
46 million women do every year can’t be immoral."
Students
for Life at the University of Michigan invites all pro-lifers from the
surrounding community to help us counter these outrageous lies with the
liberating Truth. Tomorrow (Friday) from 11AM to 2PM will
be staging a PUBLIC PROTEST outside
Lane Hall (204 S.
State Street) where the display is
located.
For
Life,
Joe
Please check out these pictures of the display on FB
