Hope and Healing After A Choice
Happy Friday Everybody! I’ve been meaning to share this podcast that I recently recorded with Christine Mooney of the Catholic Mama Podcast. We turned the tables a bit and I became the interviewer — Christine and I discussed her abortion and how she is finding hope and healing. We also discussed the very real reality of the innocents who have been lost to abortion and that they don’t want their mothers and fathers to fall into despair. If you have had an abortion, I guess we just want you to know that there is hope, there is healing, and God has a plan to bring you out of your suffering…

And then it just popped into my mind, “Abortion is the new slavery”. “Um, no. I won’t be writing about abortion. That’s sooo controversial and not pleasant at all”. But darn it, then I went off…

Why We March…
My mother is one of the founders of the March for Life — in fact, she was pregnant with me during that first March — and the story of how it all came about is an interesting one. A few years prior to the March, my mother found herself in a convent in the South. Though the “nun” thing didn’t work out, this time did help her to gain insight into the plight of the African-American living in the South at the time. Having a heart for what they were suffering, she decided that she was going to help black men and women register and exercise their right to vote. She marched with Martin Luther King,…
