Updates on Tiller the Killer

Will Justice be Served or Will Abortionists Remain Above the Law?

Topeka, Kansas – Abortionist George Tiller is accused of making a living by breaking Kansas law regarding late term abortion. Kansas allows abortions committed on viable babies only in cases of protecting the life and health of the mother. As hearings last week showed, the mental health exception can be for a “single episode of depression” that the abortionist and his accomplice (the second doctor’s opinion) ascertain is life-threatening. This is a profound disrespect for both human life and Kansas law.

Judy Smith, State Director of Concerned Women for America (CWA) of Kansas said, “Abortion providers are not above the law; post-viable abortions performed for vague and flimsy reasons are an affront to Kansans and to the lawmakers who sacrifice their time and efforts to enact laws. Abortionists should be called to account for their winking at the law. State agencies should also be accountable to the people of Kansas and make sure that abortion providers are monitored and are following the letter and intent of the law.”

Wendy Wright, President of CWA, will be testifying at the hearings of the Kansas Legislature’s Federal and State Affairs Interim Committee Friday, September 7th. She stated, “The lack of enforcement of Kansas law affects other states. George Tiller actively recruits clients from other states. What happens in Kansas does not stay in Kansas. The physical and psychological trauma is exported with the women. Women in Kansas and those who come to Kansas fully expect that Kansas enforces its laws and that the state ensures its medical practitioners are following directives intended to protect patients. However, these hearings have revealed that George Tiller is flaunting the law and governing officials have given him free rein to abort babies who would survive if born,” states Wright.

The hearings continue Thursday and Friday. Pro-life advocates will lend their voices to the cries of the unborn at 12:00 pm on the steps of the Kansas Capitol. We pray that justice will finally be served and that the law will be enforced.

    Jackie,

    I agree with you. As a crisis pregnancy counselor, I refer women who come to me who are depressed and considering abortion or who have had abortion and are depressed to the proper agencies/ professionals for treatment of their depression and their grief.

    We also assist them with other basic needs - clothing, food, and shelter for themselves and their babies. We assist in many other ways, depending upon their individual needs.

    Tiller gives them abortions, which triggers post-traumatic abortion syndrome which includes anxiety and depression, which increase their vulnerability to suicide.

    After the abortion is completed, there is no follow-up by Tiller. We encourage them to return to us, which they often do and we help to pick up the pieces. We then refer them to Rachel's Vineyard and to other professionals who are able to do provide the therapy that they need.

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

Saint Gerard of Brogne: Patron of Abbots

Image
St. Gerard was born to a noble family in Staves, Belgium, in 895. He descended from a royal line of military men and at first felt a share in this call to arms. He trained for the army and, as a page of the count of Namur, he was sent on a special mission to the French court. There, Gerard realized that he was being called to the monastic life. He stayed in France and joined the Benedictines of St. Denis, abandoning his noble birthright and all his worldly possessions. He spent eleven years in France as a monk before becoming a priest. Following his ordination, he left for Belgium in order to found a new abbey on his own estate of Brogne. He was its abbot for twenty-two years and during that period was instrumental in introducing St. Benedict's Rule into numerous houses in Flanders, Lorraine and Champagne.He became known for his engaging sweetness of temper, his strict observance of the Rule of St. Benedict and for the replacement of lukewarm religious practice with true piety.
