DANGEROUS HIGH SCHOOLS
"An estimated 525,000 attacks, shakedowns, and robberies occur in
public high schools each month. Each year nearly three million crimes
are committed on or near school property - 16,000 per school day. About
135,000 students carry guns to school daily; one fifth of all students
report carrying a weapon of some type. Twenty-one percent of all
secondary school students avoid using the rest rooms out of fear of
being harmed or intimidated. Surveys of schoolchildren reveal that
their chief school-related concern is the disruptive behavior of their
classmates. Teachers have similar concerns. Almost one third of public
school teachers indicate that they have seriously considered leaving
teaching because of student misbehavior."
(From WHY JOHNNY CAN’T TELL RIGHT FROM WRONG by William Kilpatrick)
ROE V. WADE HAS DEFORMED A GREAT NATION
America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade
has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted
mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown
violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human
relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father’s role in
an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of
gifts - a child - as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience.
It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the
independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters.
And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women
to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual
partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government.
They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The
right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be
contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else , not even a parent or a
sovereign."
(Mother Teresa - "Notable and Quotable," Wall Street Journal - 2/25/94,
p. A14)
KILLING THE CONSCIENCE
Abortion is a crime that kills not only the child, but the consciences
of all involved.
(Mother Teresa)
CHARITY
"That they make the sign of the cross, that the respond ‘amen’, that
they sing alleluias, that they receive Baptism and frequent church, all
that does not tell me that they are Christians. The mark of the
children of God, that which decisively separates them from the children
of evil is uniquely, CHARITY."
(St. Augustine)
A VAST BURIAL GROUND
The world is a vast burial ground with the bones of those who refuse to
know God.
(Author Unknown)
I AM SOMEBODY
I read and heard about the awful things abortionists are doing and I
said, "SOMEBODY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT" and then I realized I
am somebody.
(Anon.)
THE GREATEST USE OF LIFE
The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast
it.
(William James)
MUCH WORSE THAN THE LEPERS
. . . And I tell you, that little unborn child is the poorest of the
poor, the most unwanted, the most unloved, the most uncared for, the
most rejected. Much worse than the lepers. Much worse. We take care of
150,000 lepers, but they are loved. They are somebody. There is life in
them. They are terribly disfigured, but there is love in them.
(Mother Teresa)
NEUTALITY IN MORAL CRISES
"The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in times of
moral crises maintain their neutrality."
(Dante in The Interno)
PRESIDENT REAGAN ON ABORTION
In a recent Los Angeles Times interview, President Reagan was asked
about his opposition to abortion: "I DON’T THINK THAT I’M TRYING TO DO
SOMETHING THAT IS TAKING A PRIVILEGE AWAY FROM WOMANHOOD, BECAUSE I
DON’T THINK THAT WOMEN SHOULD BE CONSIDERING MURDER A PRIVILEGE."
(THE LIFE ADVOCATE - August/September 1986)
THE BIBLE
The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.
(Anon.)
LIFE OR DEATH AT HUMAN HANDS
"I fear the power of choice over life or death at human hands. I see no
human being whom I could ever trust with such a power - not myself or
any other."
(Pearl S. Buck, Nobel Laureate)
HIPPOCRATES’ OATH
I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and
judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrong-doing. Neither will
I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I
suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary
to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and art.
THE GREED FACTOR AT ABORTION CLINICS
"Everybody working in an abortion clinic makes more money than they can
anywhere else. They get paid to turn their heads the other way. You see
perfectly happy women who’ve been married for 15 years come in, then
get involved in an abortion industry and you see their lives slowly
slip away. That’s where the greed factor sets in. That’s when they
start to do the girl who’s not pregnant if they’re having a bad day and
need to make a little extra money."
(Carol Everett, a former owner and operator of two abortion clinics in
Texas)
