Forward

The following is a forward sent to me on the issue of abortion.
Some radical changes could be made in the next few months.
Thought this might help for those of you who feel as out of the loop
and uninformed as me...

Dear Friends:

If you are opposed to abortion then there is bad news on the
horizon. For those of you who do not know, the Freedom of Choice Act
(FOCA) is set to be signed if congress passes it on January 21-22 of
2009. The FOCA is the next sick chapter in the book of abortion. If
made a law then all limitations on abortion will be lifted which will
result in the following:

1) All hospitals, including Catholic hospitals will be
required to perform abortions upon request. If this happens Bishops
vow to close down all Catholic hospitals, more then 30% of all
hospitals in the United States .

2) Partial birth abortions would be legal and have no
limitations.

3) All U.S. tax payers would be funding abortions.

4) Parental notification will no longer be required.

5) The number of abortions will increase by a minimum of
100,000 annually.

Perhaps most importantly the government will now have
control in the issue of abortion. This could result in a future
amendment that would force women by law to have abortions in certain
situations (rape, down syndrome babies, etc) and could even regulate
how many children women are allowed to have.

Needless to say this information is disturbing, but sadly
true. As Christians of all denominations who are against the
needless killing of innocent children, we must stand as one. We must
stop this horrific act before it becomes a law.

The Plan :

To say a novena ( 9 days of prayer ) along with fasting
starting on January 11th. (just mark it on your calendar like an appointment) For Catholics, the prayer of choice will be
the rosary with intentions to stop the FOCA. For other Christians I
encourage you to pray your strongest prayers with the same
intentions, also for nine consecutive days. The hope is that this
will branch and blossom as to become a global effort with maximum
impact. We have very little time so we all must act fast.
