YOU HAVE TO STAND UP FOR THE UNBORN: YOUR CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP DEMANDS IT! This month of October is dedicated to rallying our intentions, consciences and support in defense of the defenseless un-born babies. It is in other words a Pro-Life month. As I do every year, I usually give four minutes stewardship talk at all the Masses on this important subject, every first Sunday of October. This year, I would like to challenge you once again to stand up for the unborn because your Christian and Catholic responsibility demands it. It is now abundantly clear that the horrible things we continue to witness being done to unborn babies, and most recently through the leaked activities of the sale of baby parts by the Planned Parenthood was in part augmented on that fateful January 22, 1973. On that day, by a 7-2 vote, the United States Supreme Court declared that children in the first nine months of life; that is, the nine months they live in their mother's wombs can be aborted. Yet we all now know from modern biology and genetics that from the moment of conception a new human being is formed which has the exact number of chromosomes that any other human being has in each cell: forty-six. Embedded in these chromosomes is all the genetic information for the new individual. There has never been a person with exactly the same code before, and there never will be one again; that person is unique from the very first instant. When was it decided that you would be male or female? When was the color of your skin or eyes decided? All at the moment of conception! This is not religious dogma; these are not quotes from the Bible or the Catholic Church. These are scientific facts that can be found in any biology book in the world or even googled! Despite all these, "Roe vs. Wade" decision, made abortion legal in all the 50 states of our country. The unfortunate reality is that this was never requested for or approved by the American people. It was decided by seven men and shamelessly imposed on the American people. These seven men declared that the pre-born child is not a person, and therefore is not entitled to have his/her life protected by law! By a stroke of a pen therefore, a whole segment of human beings, created in the image of God was denied protection. How sad! How outrageous! It is simply wrong to kill babies. Period. Therefore, something has to be done about it and something can be done about it. You and I, as Christians stewards and simply as decent human beings, have an obligation to do something about this, for the sake of these babies who have no one to speak for them AND FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR MOTHERS. They, too, are victims of abortion; they suffer, too, and we are called to love them. Abortion proponents argue that to respect women we must give them the "choice" to kill their babies. How does this respect women? If we really respect them, the genuine action we can take is to come to their aid in such a difficult situation, and see to it that they have what they need to give life to their child. If a woman is in a "crisis pregnancy", it is our responsibility to help her by eliminating the crisis, not by eliminating the pregnancy. The question she faces at that point is NOT, "Shall I have the child or not"? The fact is that if she's pregnant, she ALREADY HAS the child. The real choice at issue is, "Shall I carry the child to birth or shall I kill him/her"? Clearly, the choice to kill is not an option. Our country has taken a seriously wrong turn by making this option legal. It is our responsibility as stewards and as Christians to love these women and their babies so much that the so called "option" of abortion will never be an option. TIENEN QUE DEFENDER A LOS NO NACIDOS: SU OBLIGACION CRISTIANA LO DEMANDA! El mes de Octubre es dedicado a animar nuestras intenciones, consiencias, y apoyo en la defensa de los indefensos no nacidos bebés. Es en otras palabras el mes de Pro-Vida. Como lo hago cada año, doy un charla de coresponsabilidad en todas las Misas sobre este importante tema, cada primer Domingo de Octubre. Este año, me gustaría retarlos una vez más a que defiendan a los no nacidos porque su responsabilidad Cristiana y Católica lo demanda. Ahora queda muy claro que las cosas horribles que vemos que continuan a pasarles a los no nacidos, y más recientemente a través de las actividades de Planned Parenthood como la venta de las partes de bebés tiene raíz en la fecha del 22 de Enero, 1973. En ese dia, por un voto de 7-2, la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos declaró que los niños pueden ser abortados en los primeros nueve meses de vida, los nueve meses que viven en el vientre de su madre. Sinembargo todos sabemos a través de la biologia moderna y geneticos que desde el momento de concepción una nueva persona esta siendo formada que tiene el mismo número de cromosomas que cualquier otro humano: cuarenta y seis. Dentro de estas cromosomas está toda la información genetica para ese nuevo individuo. Nunca ha habido una persona con ese mismo código, y no lo habrá otra vez; esa persona es única desde el primer instante. ¿Cuándo fue decidido que ibas a ser mujer u hombre? ¿Cuándo fue decidido el color de tu pelo u ojos? Todo en el momento de concepción! Esto no es dogma religiosa; estos no son citas de la Biblia ni de la Iglesia Católica. Estos son hechos scientíficos que pueden ser encontrados en cualquier libro de biología en el mundo o hasta pueden hacerlo “google”! A pesar de esto la decisión “Roe vs. Wade” hizo el aborto legal en todos los 50 estados de nuestro país. La desgraciada realidad es que esto nunca fue peticionado o aprovado por el pueblo Americano. Fue decidido por siete hombres y descaradamente forzada al pueblo Americano. Estos siete hombres declararón que el no nacido no es una persona, y consiguiente no tiene derecho a tener su vida protegida bajo la ley! Entonces con un trazo de pluma, todo un segmento de seres humanos, creados en la imagen de Dios fueron negados protección. Qué triste! Qué barbaridad! Está mal matar a bebés. Punto. Entonces, algo se tiene que hacer y algo se puede hacer. Tú y yo, como Cristianos coresponsables y simplemente como humanos decentes, tenemos la obligación de hacer algo acercas de ésto, por el bien de estos bebés que no tienen propia voz y POR EL BIEN DE SUS MAMAS. Ellas también son las víctimas del aborto; ellas también sufren y somos llamados a amarlas. Los defensores del aborto alegan que para respetar a la mujer le debemos darle una “opción” a matar a su bebé. ¿Cómo es esto respetar a la mujer? Si realmente las repetamos, el acto auténtico que podemos hacer es ir a su ayuda en una situación díficil, y asegurarnos que tengan lo que necesiten para darles vida a sus bebés. Si una mujer esta en un “embarazo de crisis”, es nuestra responsabilidad en ayudarle a eliminar la crisis y no el embarazo. La pregunta que se le enfrenta a ese punto no es “Tendré a este bebé o no?” El hecho es que si ya está embarazada, ella YA TIENE al bebé. La verdadera opción es, “Completo el embarazo o mato a la criatura?” Claramente, la opción de matar no es opción. Nuestro país se ha desviado en hacer está opción legal. Es nuestra responsabilidad como coresponsables y como Cristianos a amar a estas mujeres y sus bebés tanto que la supuestamente “opción” al aborto nunca será opción. ST.

JAMES ROMAN CATHOLIC PARISH WEEKLY BULLETIN - October 03-04, 2015 Special Thoughts from the St. James Pro Life Ministry The Miracle of Conception Week 5 of 40 – Join us on the journey I have arms and legs. My brain waves can be detected and recorded. My nose and mouth are beginning to show. A new life starts when just one sperm cell from the father joins and fertilizes an egg cell from the mother. Just moments after conception numerous hereditary characteristics are determined. These include the different features and individual trademarks such as gender, color of eyes, hair and skin; the shape of the face and body; and certain qualities of temperament and intelligence. A wonderful and unique little life has begun. Join us the 1st Sunday of every month at 8:00am as we pray the rosary for the unborn in front of the Planned Parenthood at 5771 W. Eugie with the Knights of Columbus. This month’s rosary will be on October 4th. The Pro-Life Ministry would like to invite you to join us every 1st Tuesday of the month at 6pm in the church hall. Help us to defend those who cannot defend themselves! ATTENTION ST. JAMES PARISHIONERS THE RUMMAGE SALE IS A BIG FUNDRAISER! Want to be good stewards of the gifts God has given you?
