  • Nah, the Roe v. Wade was "overturned" only because the Jєωs allowed it to be ... for whatever purpose they have in mind.

    More than half of abortions are now done via the "Morning After" murder pill, and very littie has changed.  Worlding of the SCOTUS ruling was disasterous for Pro Life in that it precludes any federal laws banning abortion nationwide.

  • Until protestants (and Catholics) take the bull by the horns and smash the practice of contraception, abortion will continue to flourish regardless of Roe v Wade overturn.

  • And overturning it just left it to the individual states, which means very little other than a short drive away to another state. This isn't new.

    When abortion was illegal in Ireland, Irish women still got abortions. They just flew to England.

  • From personal experience, we wouldn't even be talking about banning abortion if it were not for Rescue. The years preceding rescue barely registered any significant pro-life activity at all. The Church was silent. Abortion was an unquestioned reality, especially in Europe. Rescue exploded pro-abortion complacency and put anti-abortion peaceful non-cooperation on the map-front page.
    Since that time (1988-1992)  of active rescuing , abortion was taken off the back burner and has been front and center for many years. It was the flame that ignited a true resistance.
    As far as Roe V Wade being overturned, well , Lad is probably right. It was only overturned as ((they)) allowed it to be so, but God will use it, and without Rescue ((They)) would probably never used Roe as a tactic as it would not have been a hot-button of contention.
    Rescue saved many babies and converted and redeemed many rescuers. It was an amazing time.

    PS- Bishop Austin Vaughn was my Bishop and we followed him. So great to see him in this video.

  • I was never a rescuer in the style of the folk featured here, but I sometimes attended in support of counsellors by praying the Rosary outside (opposite) an abortuary. Without a doubt hearts were changed.

    One day an angry woman pulled up, jumped out of her car, leaving her young son in her car while she began to verbally abuse the pray-ers. We were advised not to engage with an angry abusive person, but I felt moved to call her aside from the group and talk with her.

    We did talk for a while and slowly she calmed down and her anger subsided. Having finished our encounter we parted, she to her son in the car and i back to the praying group.

    As she passed the group a little girl of about 2 years dropped her Rosary on the footpath. The now calmed woman gently bent down, picked up the Rosary and gave them to the child with a gentle smile. I never saw the woman again. I never went back to the abortuary to pray, because the killing place was very shortly afterwards closed down.
