FINAL NOTICE!

Obama mandate to affect us on January 1, 2014.

This is your LAST CHANCE to help us protect your religious freedom in court!

“If we give in now, they will not leave us alone.”
-Cardinal Timothy Dolan

November 5, 2013

Those words from Cardinal Dolan prompted me to send you this urgent email.

You need to take immediate action to defend your First Amendment right to freedom of religion.

And one of the most important things you can do to  protect yourself is to continue to support Priests for Life’s lawsuit against the HHS Mandate brought about by Obamacare.

So take a moment right now to CLICK HERE and make as large a donation as you can to Priests for Life’s Legal Fund!

Our lawsuit against the Obama Administration has reached a critical stage … and so has our nation.

On October 1 the attorneys arguing our case filed a motion for summary judgment.  We are asking the court to rule in Priests for Life’s favor based on the law itself.

All the parties involved in our lawsuit – the judge, the government and Priests for Life – agree that the HHS mandate will have an adverse impact on Priests for Life.

And since this mandate is scheduled to go into effect for us on January 1, 2014 it’s time for the court to decide whether the mandate that compels Priests for Life to violate our conscience and be direct participants in the killing of the youngest members of our human family violates the U.S. Constitution, as well as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

The judge hearing our case seems ready and willing to issue a final order before the end of the year.

Which is why I told you:

This in all likelihood is your LAST CHANCE to get behind our lawsuit and protect your First Amendment right to practice your religion free from government coercion.

So CLICK HERE and make a contribution to Priests for Life’s Legal Fund!

You’ll recall Priests for Life was among the very first to file a lawsuit against this mandate.

And despite all the promises and so-called accommodations the Obama administration has made, our moral and legal concerns have not been satisfied.

We’ve waited long enough.

It’s time to declare this mandate unconstitutional.

And that’s exactly what our lawsuit is on the verge of doing.

When successful, our lawsuit is going to prove the undoing of this unjust mandate.

This is critically important once you realize that …

… Obamacare is the greatest expansion of abortion since Roe v Wade!

And you’ll be paying for it with your tax dollars!

This is because, according to the White House, pregnancy is a “preventable disease” and treatments – namely, abortion-causing drugs and contraceptives – for this “disease” must be covered in all health care insurance plans.

In other words, in the eyes of the Obama administration, bearing a child is a “disease”!

Is it any wonder our country is spiraling downward as rapidly as it is?

Such warped thinking is the result of forty years of legalized abortion-on-demand.

And now these people are using the might and power of the federal government to force you and me and all Americans to take a direct and active role in the killing of our unborn brothers and sisters.

This is unconscionable!

It is tyranny at its worst.

And that’s why Priests for Life filed our lawsuit.  Make no mistake:

Neither you nor I nor Priests for Life
will ever give in to the HHS mandate
or any government threat.

Not today.

Not tomorrow.

Not ever!

But in order for you and Priests for Life to successfully hold out ..

… it is imperative that you CLICK HERE and support our lawsuit with as large a gift as you can make to the Priests for Life Legal Fund.

Don’t delay.

Come January 1 the Obama administration will force you to take a direct and active role in the murder of your unborn brothers and sisters.

We filed our lawsuit in order to protect you, your conscience rights, your pro-life principles and your freedom to practice your religion as you deem fit.

As I told you a moment ago:

Priests for Life will disobey any mandate that tries to force us to violate our conscience and compel us to take part in the direct killing of our innocent unborn brothers and sisters.

And because we will, it is critically important that our Legal Fund be filled to the brim so that we can win a PERMANENT INJUNCTION against the tyranny of the HHS mandate.

To do so, however, I must have your generous and immediate financial help!

Please CLICK HERE and do as much as you can.

We need every dollar you can spare.

That’s because, when all is said and done, I expect Priests for Life will spend well over $100,000 to see our lawsuit to its conclusion … which could very well include a hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court.  This is the case even with the pro-bono help we are receiving.

The bottom line is this:

Until this unjust mandate is entirely and permanently struck down, we must turn to the courts to protect our First Amendment right to oppose abortion and practice our religion free from government coercion!

I’m not the only one who recognizes that reality.

Our U.S. bishops do so as well.  In fact, a short time ago, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the President of the USCCB, said:

“We have tried negotiation with the Administration and legislation with the Congress but there’s still no fix.
Time is running out, and our valuable ministries and fundamental rights hang in the balance, so we have to resort to the courts now.”

That’s why I’ve sent you this urgent appeal for help.  The clock is ticking.

This is in all likelihood YOUR LAST CHANCE to support our Priests for Life lawsuit and protect your First Amendment right to freedom of religion!

Remember, in going after the HHS mandate, we are up against the full might and power of the federal government.  President Obama and his pro-abortion allies will spare no expense to have our lawsuit thrown out of court.  And they have the entire U.S. treasury at their disposal.  They will hold nothing back in their unbridled attempt to compel us to bow before the state.

In contrast, Priests for Life has only the financial resources which you and pro-life champions like you so lovingly and so generously provide.

That being the case I’m asking you to CLICK HERE and make as large a financial contribution as you can so that Priests for Life can win a PERMANENT INJUNCTION from the unjust mandate.

We are doing this for you, for all pro-life activists, for our fellow Americans, and most especially, for the youngest members of our human family – our unborn brothers and sisters.

I beg you to stand with us in this fight!  The cause of life in America is at stake.

Thank you.  May God bless.  And please include our lawsuit and the attorneys who are arguing our case in court in your daily prayers.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Fr. Frank Pavone
National Director, Priests for Life

P.S. Make no mistake.  The HHS mandate unjustly impacts all employers, not just churches, religious groups, and health care institutions.  Which means that in all probability … it impacts YOU directly!  This is unjust. And you don’t adapt to injustice; you oppose it.  That is especially true for you and me because Priests for Life’s primary purpose is to promote and protect life … whereas one of the primary effects of the mandate is to prevent and destroy life.  That’s why I’m counting on you to RUSH the largest contribution you can to Priests for Life’s Legal Fund and help us win our lawsuit … even if it means going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court!

Dear Friend,

It’s been said that the only one that likes change is a wet baby! Change can be
pretty hard to take, especially if it is done suddenly. Changes can be made to our
lives slowly, too, and sometimes we don’t even realize that things have changed
until either it’s too late, or we suddenly realize the scope of the change. Sometimes that is how I feel about the state of morality and more in our country. It seems  like just yesterday that television shows didn’t show much sexual activity other than a kiss, and now there is very little they DON’T show! When abortion was made legal in 1973, it was supposed to be safe, legal and rare.  The only thing it is  now is legal! I get messages and e-mails all the time from people that feel the  way that I do. I know that national polls show that more Americans now are pro-life instead of pro-abortion.So just why are we allowing any threats to human life at  any stage of development to continue?

Mahatma Ghandi once said that YOU must be the change you want to see in the world!
That is so true. We all need to take part in making the changes that need to be
done in our communities, our culture, our youth, our morality and so much more.
You need to start somewhere. If you want to see change happen, then start taking  part in activities which will have a positive effect on the future. Here’s a few simple ways to get involved:

SUPPORT A CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTER.

Crisis pregnancy centers offer women a life saving alternative to abortion, and
offer material assistance and more before and after the birth of children. CLICK
HERE http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/10-helpful-ways-to-support-a-pregnancy-resource-center
for the article “10 Helpful Ways to Support a Pregnancy Resource Center” published this past week in LifeSiteNews for ways that you can help them become the first choice for pregnant women in crisis.

CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS.

Believe it or not, they really want to hear from you, whether they are on your side
or not. They have to listen to their constituents or run the risk of not getting
re-elected! That’s why it is so important to write or call them! CLICK HERE

PRACTICE WHAT :YOU PREACH.

Yes, it’s great to be involved in national campaigns life 40 Days for Life, and
Life Chain.  It’s even better to do it on a regular basis. CLICK HERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTtWfks0kQo&feature=youtu.be

to watch a short video clip called “Personally Pro-Life vs. Pro Life Activist”. After you watch the clip, consider joining our Clouds of Witnessesprogram where volunteers sign up on a recurring basis to stand for one hour per month or more at an abortion facility or Planned Parenthood location. They carry peaceful signs and have literature and more available about life saving alternatives to abortion.   CLICK HERE http://www.rtlofneo.com/witness
for more information.

There are a lot more ways to get involved, but these things should help you to get
you started. Check out our website http://www.rtlofneo.com/
and our Facebook https://www.facebook.com/NEOhioLife
page to stay updated on more information. This weekend, after you “change” by turning
your clocks back one hour, consider making some changes that will influence those
around you and more to realize that ALL human life is a God given miracle! Let’s
do it together as our work goes on.

For Life,

Denise Leipold

17-year-old pressured by clinic to have a late-term abortion, refuses

October 30, 2013 (LiveActionNews) – I recently read an account from a 17-year-old who was 24 weeks pregnant and was pressured by abortion clinic workers to abort her baby. The testimony appeared in the book Bitter Fruit: Women’s Experiences with Unplanned Pregnancy, Abortion, and Adoption. I did not find this book to be biased towards the pro-life position. The author seems to take, as far as is possible, a neutral stand. Nowhere in the book does she condemn abortion or claim that adoption or parenting are better options.

When 17-year-old Darla (last name not given) became pregnant, her mother wanted her to have an abortion. In Darla’s own words:

I didn’t want to do it, but it was like I was being dragged. The first thing they did was an ultrasound, and I think I was 24 weeks pregnant. So I had a week legally left.

At 24 weeks, the unborn baby was at the end of the 2nd trimester. At this time, the baby is fully formed. He or she reacts to sudden, loud noises, and, according to the Endowment for Human Development: “This response is very much like what adults and children exhibit in the same situation.” She can feel pain, and has a sense of taste. She breathes amniotic fluid. She also sleeps and dreams. REM sleep has been observed in unborn babies as early as 18 weeks.

33.6 % (over a third) of unborn babies born at 24 weeks survive. (Cara Acred The Abortion Debate (Independence Educational Publishers, 2012)

You can see pictures of babies aborted at 24 weeks here.

Darla goes on to say:

I saw her [the baby] actually on the ultrasound, of course. I was 17 years old, I wasn’t going to say, “Turn the machine around; I don’t want to see.” And when I saw her, I knew that I wasn’t going to do it.

Darla says that her mother and the clinic workers argued with her about her decision to have her baby.

So we spent the whole day over there, crying and arguing with the doctors and staff like that. When it came down to signing the piece of paper that said I could die during the procedure, I said no, I wouldn’t do it. We went all the way up to the director of the clinic. They were saying it was best for me, because I was young. My mom was really pushing for it too, so they stood by her. Maybe she was trying to get people to convince me. …They were trying to convince me that it was safe, that in years nobody had died or whatever, that it was relatively safe.

Scientists say babies remember lullabies played for them in the womb

A new study out of Finland, however, may send sales of belly-mounted headphones skyrocketing, as researchers say they have found conclusive proof infants can recognize a lullaby heard in the womb for several months after birth. Not only does this suggest babies can remember things they hear and experience prior to birth, the study’s authors say it may be an important component of speech development for infants as they grow into children.

The University of Helsinki’s Cognitive Brain Research Unit studied 24 women during the third trimester of their pregnancies. Half of the women played “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for their babies five days a week throughout the final weeks of pregnancy; the other half did not.

Researchers found that after the babies were born, the ones who had listened to the song while still in their mothers’ wombs reacted much more strongly than the others to the sound of melody when it was played, even up to four months later.

Previously, the team had studied the effects of speech on preborn babies, and found that as newborns, they showed a clear response to words they had heard repeatedly in the third trimester of their mothers’ pregnancies. But that study did not follow up to see if the babies remembered the words later on.

‘I felt like I died’: New TV ads combat ‘happy’ abortion stories with the truth

BY BEN JOHNSON

ROSWELL, GA, October 30, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A new round of television commercials seeks to counter a growing narrative that abortion leaves women feeling uplifted, empowered, and relieved.

The pro-abortion movement’s “1-in-3” campaign is asking women to share happy memories of aborting their children, scheduling abortion celebration events at 100 locations in 32 states.

Patti weeps as she remembers her lost child

But the data shows post-abortive women are actually disproportionately likely to suffer from depression, substance abuse, and other forms of trauma.

To tell their stories, VirtueMedia has released six ads featuring the testimonies of women whose experiences were anything but positive.

The series, entitled “Been There,” features five women whose grief is evident in every frame.

“I felt like I died,” said Patti, who had an abortion at age 16. “I really felt like a part of me died that day.”

“I had experienced a rape at a very young age, and I compared it very much to rape – very traumatic,” she said. Decades later, she still has tears in her eyes. The grief “compounds because of other choices you make as a result of the pain and the suffering that you’re going through,” she said.
