When a man of great integrity like Fr. Frank Pavone speaks out - you need to listen to what he has to say.
Fr. Frank is the National Director of Priests for Life in America, the founder of the Missionaries for the Gospel of Life, Director of Rachel's Vineyard (the largest ministry for healing after abortion in the world), and host of EWTN's series Defending Life. He has saved countless babies from abortion, reconciled broken mothers to God and His Church, held funerals for infants whose remains were rescued from the dumpsters outside abortion mills, and provided leadership in key political battles against abortion and its advocates.
In the wake of Barack Obama's landslide victory, which many Catholics shamefully voted for, Fr. Pavone has typically provided a voice of sense amidst the cacaphony of misled rejoicing.
Fr. Frank, who reminded voters back in September, that it would be immoral to vote for Obama, has now said 'This is one of the biggest mistakes that the American people have made in the entire history of our nation... Senator Obama, when asked at the Saddleback Church forum, when he thought that a child gained human rights, answered that the question was 'above my pay grade.'
Perhaps this should not surprise us unduly, as President Obama has voted twice against the Born Alive Infants Law, which would have protected children who survived abortion.
The new President has promised to sign in the Freedom of Choice Act, which has been calculated as likely to add 125,000 aborted babies to the casualty list of 1.3 million babies murdered in the wombs of American women per annum. This misnamed Act will strike down the abortion-limiting efforts of individual states provided by such safeguards as their requirement for parental involvement, informed consent, prohibition of local government funding for most abortions, and (most disturbingly) the removal of the ban on the barbaric practice of partial birth abortion.
It seems that behind the smug grins and charismatic speeches of the new President that something more sinister is on the way. To quote the much overused political Americanism -Â 'You aint seen nothin' yet...'
Â
On the other hand that concept works both ways and, with true Christian hope, Fr. Pavone acknowledges that, whilst this is a tragic situation, it is also a clarion call for the pro-life movement to mobilize and renew its efforts in prayer and action!
Our Lady of Guadalupe - Patroness of the Americas and of the Unborn - Pray for us! Â
