The attack on marriage is really an attack on the human person, and his dignity, for the devil seeks to pervert our true purpose, to pervert God's holy design. For many of us, we cannot march in protests or write dozens of letters or call numerous times to urge legislators to vote for the Truth. But one thing we can all do is pray and fast. We have designated one day each week to fast for these intentions:

1. That marriage may be preserved, promoted, and understood as God's plan for creation.

2. For all marriages that they may reflect the love of the Trinity.

3. For broken marriages that Christ bring healing and conversion to the spouses' souls.

4. For those who are married, for the sanctification of their marriage and their spouse. For those who are single, for their future spouse and vocation.

Encouraging Signs in the Fight for Life

+
JMJ

Everyday we are seeing more encouraging signs in the fight for life.  Thomas Peters, over at Catholicvote, reports that a new Arizona law has already produced a drop in abortion rates.  This law did not even restrict abortion: it requires parental consent for a minor, legally bounds providers to give women accurate information about the abortion and other choices, enforces a 24 hour waiting period, and requires a licensed doctor to perform the abortions.

This law, of course, caused an uproar among the abortion lobby and Planned Parenthood community, just as in Virginia, when AG Ken Cuccinelli required clinics to go by the same regulations as hospitals.  Nothing should surprise us any longer about the abortion community's responses to common-sense laws.  These laws do not even address the personhood of the baby in the womb, and yet are still attacked.  Why?  Because even though they might not be revealing the whole truth, they are leading people to the truth and NOW and Planned Parenthood and NARAL must know that when people get a piece of it, they are going to eventually look for the whole of it.
