     The people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. Those who make a difference are the ones who care. We can make a difference by caring for the unborn and their parents. Help stop abortion and euthanasia today.

     “It is a very great poverty to decide that a child must die that you might live s you wish.” - Mother Theresa of Calcutta

     “It is impossible to advance human dignity by being ‘right’ on issues like poverty and immigration, but wrong about the most fundamental issue of all—the right to life.”
- Archbishop Charles Chaput, OFM Cap. Archbishop of Denver, American and Catholic: thoughts on responsible citizenship, Oct. 11, 2000.

     “[Abortion is] a defining issue not only personally but also socially. Poverty can be addressed incrementally, but the death of a child is quite final.”
-Cardinal Francis George, Archbishop of Chicago, Oct 2000

     I am sure that all people know deep down inside that the little child in the mother’s womb is a human being from the moment of conception, created in the image of God to love and be loved. Let us pray that nobody will be afraid to protect that little child to be born. Jesus said: “If you receive a little child in my name you receive me.” – Mother Teresa

     “Nothing and no one can in any way permit the killing of an innocent human being, whether a fetus or an embryo, an infant or an adult, an old person, or one suffering from an incurable disease, or a person who is dying…Nor can any authority legitimately recommend or permit such an action”. John Paul II

     Winston Churchill once said: Show me how a nation treats its elderly and I’ll show you the soul of the people. As a nation, our soul is in danger because many of us have rationalized abortion and now assisted suicide and “mercy killings” as moral and right. We can never do evil to bring about good.

     “For me, life is the most beautiful gift of God to mankind, therefore, people and nations who destroy life by abortion and euthanasia are the poorest.  I do not say legal or illegal, but I think that no human hand should be raised to kill life, since life is God’s life in us, even in an unborn child.”  Mother Teresa
