So much evil...

I would like to light a candle, rather than curse the darkness, but my little light seems so fragile against the thick, choking darkness that is loosed on Britain these days. Of course the HFE Bill was passed. Did anyone doubt otherwise? Was that lack of faith or hope on my part? Or was it simply facing the reality of the utter contemptuous corruption of those who have power in this country.
I do not doubt there are Catholics out there who have both the ability and the media savvy to stand up and lead the rest of us to oppose all this evil that is crashing in on us-but for some reason they wont.
While the poor self pitying cripple was wheeled out on the news to say he needed a lot of babies murdered to find him a cure (well, not those words but that's what he meant)-there was no self-assertive cripple to say adult stem cells are working and will do fine thank you.

I tried to fight when it came to the horror of children needing to be adopted by a mum and dad, being sacrificed to political expediency and handed over to unstable families particularly homosexual couples. But what could I write? After I had written to a couple of MPs it came to light that Catholic adoption agencies had been handing children over to unmarried couples and single gay people already. A gay couple would be better than a single actively gay person for crying out loud! What in heaven's name were/are these agencies thinking? Why did they pretend to be Catholic?

My husband worked with a situation in which a couple were allowed to adopt siblings despite the fact their marriage was already very fragile indeed. As soon as the papers were signed the couple split and took one child each so they split the children as well!!!! Social services seemed completely unable or unwilling to deal with the situation.
Another family I have known where they managed to have children with severe behavioural and moral problems but continued to adopt more children. How did they get them?

My fellow homeschooler Amanda works so hard for the Pro-Life cause. She isn't a big name, or a famous blogger-but she does more than any of those people with the tiny resources she has.
God bless her.

I feel powerless sometimes-well a lot of the time. And I am so angry when I look at those who have been given a position of authority in our Church and other Christian communities and DO NOTHING.

I will keep praying and fight when I can and blog about it even if no one reads it.
In the end the Immaculate Heart with Triumph.

Silent No More

'SILENT NO MORE' EVENT

Saturday, 10th May12pm - 2pm,

Cornmarket, Oxford. (Right at the top, near Barclays Bank )

This is an event where women who have experienced the pain of abortion speak out publicly. It is a chance for them to share their testimony of how deeply abortion has affected their lives. Just hearing their witnesses is a powerful, pro-life opportunity.

We need supporters to come and stand silently whilst the women speak. There are placards people can hold or just stand there in support.We also need STEWARDS - if anyone can help, please let me know and I'll pass it on to Amanda

If you're unable to attend, please say a prayer for the women to touch many people's hearts and minds.God Bless and many thanks!

You can visit the SILENT NO MORE website.

Breastfeeding to avoid breast cancer

Sky News carried THIS story today showing that far too many women are unaware that breast feeding their children can help reduce the risk of breast cancer quite substantially. Of course among NFPers this is common knowledge, and I was a little surprised that so few women knew about the link. I would have thought that midwives would have been trained to mention it to new mums to help encourage breastfeeding. Having said that no midwife has ever mentioned it to me.

It might be worth getting the message out that chemical contraception and abortion increase the risk of breast cancer substantially.

My friend who is going through the process with her breast cancer at the moment realises she must ensure her daughter never uses chemical contraceptives. No professional has advised her of this however, even though she is one of the very young (pre-menopause) women to have cancer-a statistic that is increasing. My friend was put on the pill as a teenager because she was having problems, as many teens do. Doctors were very quick to prescribe the Pill despite its awful side effects, rather than looking at other ways to help teens regulate problems with their periods.

So ladies-get off those horrible chemicals and breast feed.

Jesus was an embryo

On 31st March we celebrated the Solemnity of the Annuciation, when the Angel Gabriel came to Mary and asked if she would consent to being the mother of the Messiah. She gave her Fiat-her yes to God and the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. At that moment The WORD was made flesh and dwelt amongst us. The word became a zygote. He was a single celled person with all His DNA written into Him. He already had His bloodgroup, eye colour and so on written into Him.

He began to form more cells. Jesus grew in just the same way as we all grew from day 1.

It is a week later and today could be called Holy Implantation Day.

Jesus implants, snuggling into the womb of His blessed mother. (And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus).

Without these hidden days we would not have had our Messiah and He could not have saved us.

Remember this when scientists and media pundits tell you it's just a few cells. It doesn't hurt to experiment and destroy them.

All those children are being murdered. Every child is a made in the image and likeness of God because He creates and we procreate. God came to us as fully human and fully divine and He grew as any man will grow from zygote onwards.

RU-486? Are you daft?

Here's my monthly reminder that my friend Amanda and her pro-life friends are meeting for their witness in Oxford.

29th March @ 3pm

This is the First Year Anniversary and will be lead by Fr John Saward.

It takes place as usual outside the

John Radcliffe Hospital and St Anthony of Padua Church

Please remember them in your prayers.

Also there will be the usual walk to the the abortion mill on Station Road Kings Norton Birmingham at the 3pm Veneration of the Cross from SS Joseph and Helen's Church on the same road.

Catholic news has reported that a cancer busting drug made in a factory in Shanghai China is so badly made that it has caused massive health problems in patients taking it. This has meant the drug company will no longer buy from that supply. However the baby killing drug RU-486 is made in the same factory and continues to be imported.

I would like to point out that RU-486 is not only used to procure early abortion. It can also be proscribed to mothers who have miscarried a baby and not been able to naturally expel the pregnancy. This drug needs to be stopped surely!

Meanwhile more and more scientific evidence is coming through showing that our drinking water has been poisoned by estrogens coming from the chemical contraceptives so many women are using. Fish are changing sex.

There is even some evidence that girls are reaching pubity earlier because they are ingesting these hormones.

We already KNOW that chemical contraception increases the risk of breast cancer.

SAVE THE PLANET

DITCH THE PILL

St Michael thrust your sword into Molech!

Both Fr Ray and Paul (OTSOA) have posted on the poor mother Emma, who has committed suicide after aborting her twins. The Telegraph carries the story. Shockingly there seems little concern at the almost non-existant standard of counselling this mother was offered either before or after the "procedure".

The babies were 8wks gest like the one in this picture.

So many mothers like Emma go through this, and afterwards there is no one to turn to. One day, not long after I had moved into the nurses home where I would live to do my training I came to the girl in the next room and found her sitting alone in semi-darkness crying. She told me, something apparently no one knew. She had become pregnant some 5 years earlier when she was 16. Her boyfriend had freaked out and she was terrified to tell her parents. So, completely alone, she had gone for an abortion. "He would have been 5 today" she told me. She knew when he was due-mother's do-and his loss had burned a hole in her heart. I sat with her and she cried.

In Oxford every month 20/25 people gather. The next meeting is:

29th March 3pm

St Anthony of Padua Church Oxford.

Also don't foret that there is ADORATION every

Wednesday from 7pm

at SS Joseph and Helen

Kings Norton Birmingham.

For those who can't attend either; light a little candle and say a prayer. Let's get St Michael to cast Molech into the deepest pit. He has too many temples and is doing too much trade.

Pro-Life; get out those beads

ADDITION! Amanda has emailed me with a petition against care professionals being coerced to perform and take part in abortions. "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to PROTECT HEALTHCARE WORKER RIGHT OF CONSCIENCE BY LAW. " Please sign it fellow pro-life UKers.

Sat 26th January 08
at 3pm

The John Radcliffe Hospital,

outside

St Anthony of Padua Church Oxford

Please come and meet at Headley Way Headington for a peaceful witness for the unborn children. There is refreshment in the hall afterwards.
For those who cannot attend please add your prayers for those who are there, and for the babies killed and their parents.

Amanda Lewin, a friend and fellow homeschooling mum does a great deal to coordinate this. Thank God for her and all who join her.

All you Brummies and anyone else who can make it are most cordially invited to a weekly Eucharistic Adoration

at SS Joseph and Helen Station Rd Kings Norton Birmingham

at 6pm

please note time change (not 7pm any more)

to pray for the pro-life cause and all those who are so hurt by the abortion industry.

SS Joseph and Helen have an abortion mill right at the end of the road. Every Good Friday the PP takes a prayer walk down to the mill and stands there will everyone -altar boys and himself in vestments. Then the walk continues around the block and back to church. The place is busy killing babies even on Good Friday.

For those who cannot be there in person - get out those beads, the greatest weapon of sin destruction- and get praying.

God bless

Actively Pro-Life; the fight is on.

After the Programme the other night on channel 4 both Mac at Mulier Fortis
and Philip at Carpe Canem have posted asking that we sign the petition which they link.
Mac has posted an extract from the programme that is harrowing in the extreme.
A doctor, trained presumably in caring for the sick has managed somehow to sit and explain the details of how he cuts apart a child and crushes his or her head to pull the corpse bit by bit from the mother.
This is legal.

The petition demands that in the light of what we know about the survival of babies born at 23weeks, that the legal age for abortion should be lowered from 24weeks to 16 weeks.
Please sign it.
The pro-life voice has been a polite whisper in the UK against the rage filled shrieking of the death-peddlers. But surely if enough of us whisper together- that still small voice could be heard above the tantrum of the baby killers.

Mac raises a valid concern that if the limit were to be dropped to 16 weeks then it would probably be with only one doctor signing for the baby's death.
Sadly in my experience the process of getting the second signature is a matter of form. The process is shockingly quick and efficient (when I've seen my friends go through it) compared to most care processes in the NHS.
I still miss those babies that my husband and I offered our lives and home to-but their mother's thought it better to abort.

I am surprised that Channel 4 has been willing and able to put out a programme that so truthfully shows the dispicable nature of this industry. Is it because we are sick of it and need to see it for what it is? I hope so.
The altarnative is, C4 think this is so much part of normal life that no one will mind too much.

God help us.

My friend Amanda Lewin who runs the Oxford pro-life campaigne has my renewed respect and prayers for what she and such a small group of people do-for so profound an evil and the mass murder of our children.

Last night's House

I must admit I have been getting bored with House recently. The formula is...well, formulaic and I was getting a bit irritated with the lack of depth in the character writing.

But last night I must admit I was surprised and pleased by what I saw.

A pregnant mother was the patient. Now, it seems impossible for the writers to ever have a mother who got pregnant the conventional way and I have been a bit irritated by this-but I do wonder if there is a message even in that- bypass God in conception and there are likely to be problems. This is true, it is why He asks us to do things His way.

House who has made it clear in previous episodes that he is pro-choice. Each 'baby' episode has been interesting in that it is made quite clear there is a baby to consider, not just the mother.

This time the mother is adament she wants her baby to live. She refuses an abortion despite the pressure House puts on her.

He is left with doing a fetal operation to save both the baby and the mother.

They put in the moment the uterus is opened and the baby boy puts his hand out and clutches House's finger. Of course this is a very famous photot from a real operation done some years ago by that equally famous doctor of fetal medicine. I watched the actual op at the time and I remember the moment he held that tiny hand on his finger-astonishing.

In this re-enactment House too is astonished and moved by the experience. He stares in wonder at the little hand clutching his.

In the end mother and baby live.

Although House does not appear to have properly changed his mind, he argues with his boss Dr Cuddy at the end about how really it was luck that anyone survived etc etc. But Cuddy points out that it mattered to that mother and her son and she gets the last word.

I am pleased and surprised that a mainstream drama has handled this issue so well and with honesty. Even though the story is unlikely and extreme they managed to say something important and I haven't seen any complaints - mainly I think because the pro-baby killers can't complain about something so carefully written.

I always wear this:- the precious hands badge. I also have precious feet. They show the exact size and shape of a baby's hands at around 10-12wks gestation.

I've had to buy mine from the USA. I got my children's chastity rings from the same place. PRO_LIFE STUFF HERE

Perhaps when I get my Dream (see previous post) on the go I will sell them over here...

Anyway, to get back to the point. I think there is going to be more willingness to show unborn baby's on TV as what they are -people.

I don't think UK programmes will catche up for a while-we are apathetic about the slaughter here and the Govt is all for it-but we buy programmes like House from the USA and I reckon the gauntlet is down.

Is it a baby? Yes it is. So if you want the choice to kill it, you cannot pretend it isn't a baby.

Sister's for the Gospel of Life

There's a new blog started by the Sisters for the Gospel of Life . Have a look. They have a charism with mothers in crisis pregnancy.
If you ever get the chance to offer your home to one of those unwanted babies don't pass up on it. Even if the mother still chooses to go ahead with the abortion-you will have tried, and just maybe you will be given the gift of that child, or maybe the mother will keep her baby.
It's worth a try.
My husband and I have tried twice. Sadly both babies were killed, but I still think of them.

Pro-life in Oxford

Every month in Oxford prayers and Mass are said for all those babies killed in abortion mills and for their mothers. People meet at St Anthony of Padua's Church and the protesters stand along the road that leads to the John Radcliffe Hospital where the NHS performs abortions on a regular basis.

If you are in the area or can get there you are more than welcome to join in. If you are unable to attend then please add your prayers, your rosary devotions to theirs so that somewhere a mother will turn away from such a devastating choice.

Yesterday Cardinal Keith O'Brien spoke out strongly against the Culture of Death and those polititions who claim to be Catholic but vote for

baby killing and then sacriligiously go up to receive Our Lord in Holy Communion.



With the beautiful images we of our unborn children that we have access to these days I believe the tide is turning against abortion. There is hope.



The next meeting in Oxford is on

SATURDAY 30th June
3-4pm (the hour of mercy

If you live in Birmingham there is a witness every Wednesday evening at 7pm at SS Joseph and Helen in King's Norton. They have an abortion mill in the same road their church is on.

Add your prayers with theirs.

Keep your eye on OXFORD EVENTS

early pregnancy gender kit-kill the girls?

It was reported recently that there is a simple blood test kit on the market whereby a pregnant mother can find out the gender of her baby as early as six weeks gestation. The test costs about £180 or so and is apparently easily available. I have no idea how accurate it is.
Interestingly the media reports I have seen are very negative about this test, fearing it will lead to more abortions, specifically of girls.

With the prospect of killing babies just because they are girls looming, more and more people seem to be actually thinking that killing babies is not such a fantastic idea after all.

Strangely one or two comments have come across as -it's wrong to kill a baby because you don't want a girl, but okay if the baby is disabled. I don't know why it is okay to kill a person because they have a disability, and I have yet to see a rational explanation.

Nevertheless as more people begin to actually 'think' about abortion- less and less people really support it.
