I got this message from our diocease pro-life leader & thought it was beautiful & motivating (especialy the last paragraph). I just had to share. I hope it moves you too. Have a great day :)
Some days the bombardment from the “Culture of Death” can seem overwhelming. But I want you to know about a significant success we have seen which is probably attributable to your efforts….
Congressman David Obey represents the 7th District in Wisconsin (encompassing a significant chunk of our Diocese and the Diocese of Superior). He is also the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, which, as you know, was deciding whether to keep existing prohibitions against using tax money to fund abortion and stem cell research. We got the word out through many of you in the 7th District to email, write and call him on behalf of life. Guess what? In a move that surprised many, those bans on tax money for abortion and stem cell research remained in the appropriations bill! We thought that was going to be extremely doubtful at best, but it shows that our voices DO make a difference.
Of course there are many other “successes”, too, but many of them happen in people’s minds and hearts and sometimes only God sees them. But those are the successes that will ultimately win the day for the Culture of Life, no matter how dark the clouds might seem some days in Washington and Madison.
For those of you in Iowa, sorry there is so much WI stuff here, but I'm not in the Iowa loop, since I live in WI. If you wanted more info in your area try going to the Iowa Right to Life Web-page or see if there are any organizations in your church.
