In the article by Dr. Frank Joseph, Miracle Photo, CoR November issue, we showed you the tiny hand of a child reaching across the world to each of us...It was almost, as if Samuel was shaking the finger of the hand of the man who was trying to save his live -- to thank him for his compassion. See his post-natal photo!   For more, click...

President Clinton signed a waiver lifting a restriction on U.S. funds for international family planning organizations that promote abortion. The waiver "allows us to pay our U.N. dues finally, and fund international family planning at 97 percent until the new fiscal year," one administration official said. The waiver is one of a series of moves negotiated with congressional Republicans that will make the United States a member in good standing of the clique of post-civilized First World nations taking responsibility to ensure that the rest of the world is as corrupt as Clinton's America.   For more, click...

Dear Friends of CALL:

There has been much debate in the pro-life community over the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP), created by Gregg Cunningham. The project consists of tri-fold pictures depicting three genocides: that of the Jewish people, Black lynchings and the genocide of the preborn. A fantastic idea, it's raising awareness quite well on the college campuses it has visited.

Mr. Cunningham called Collegiate Activists Liberating Life (CALL) in 1997-1998, asking us to promote among our network students a new video, "The Harder Truth," which came from the same source as the GAP project. Mr. Cunningham explained to Laura Carroll, then Network Director of CALL, that he had paid a European abortion clinic administrator to allow a photographer into the operating room to film and photograph an abortion on the mother of a child only 8-10 weeks old --- on the condition that the photographer would not interfere with the killing.   For more, click...

Education officials in France have decided to allow school nurses to prescribe the morning-after pill which doesn't allow a new embryo to implant in the uterine lining. Each year in France, more than 10,000 girls under 18 years become pregnant and 6,000 have abortions. The morning-after pill has been available on the market in France since last June.

Dr, W. A. Krotoski (M.D., Ph.D.), President of the Louisiana Right to Life Federation, announced that the Federation's 22 member chapters are promoting a WHITE RIBBON CAMPAIGN FOR LIFE during all of January, to usher in the millennium. Dr. Krotoski also stated that "Our hope for the new millennium is for a world where innocent life is truly respected; where our world's most precious resources, our children, are not only safe at home, in church, in school and on the street, but, first of all, in their mother's wombs.   For more, click...

A new license plate design which received final approval Tuesday in Florida shows a crayon drawing of two children with the message "choose life." The new tag is expected to go on sale in 2-3 months. Though abortion advocates filed a federal lawsuit to stop the plate from being distributed, the case was thrown out by the court.

Cole County Circuit Court Judge Byron Kinder has taken all future state funding away from two of Missouri's Planned Parenthood affiliates and ordered them to return the state money ($105,750 plus interest) they already used this year for family planning. Judge Kinder ruled on Tuesday that the Planned Parenthood family planning affiliates in St. Louis and Kansas City violated Missouri state law by using the same facilities for both family planning services and abortions.

Hugo Chavez, former President of Venezuela, proposed in December, that controversial articles of the new Constitution, such as that on abortion, be excluded because their debate is retarding the process of approval. During a press conference, the chief executive said, "that it shouldn't be included in the Constitutional text, because otherwise we'll spend a year debating this."

"I, Hugo Chavez, am against abortion, but I cannot impose this on a country. We shall discuss the topic and give expression to all opinions."

Looking straight at Archbishop Ignacio Velasco of Caracas, Chavez said "I am even more radical, I say that life must be protected even before conception. I propose to those sectors that are increasingly radical in their positions, that we set aside these topics such as. . .the right to life for later," the Venezuelan President said.   For more, click...

On November 11, I received a fund-raising call from the National Republican Congressional Committee. A woman's voice asked me to hold the line for a brief message from Majority Whip Tom DeLay. Then followed a recorded message from Rep. DeLay in which he reminded me of how hard Republicans have worked to pass the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act and protect the sanctity of life.   For more, click...

Majority Leader Trent Lott established a non-federal state political committee in Virginia, allowing him to accept contributions in unlimited amounts. The move has allowed him to do an end-run around federal campaign finance laws that limit individuals to $2,000 per candidate per election, according to an AP story on 8/13/99.   For more, click...

Along with many of our other projects this year, Children of the Rosary has decided to purchase 15 sets of baby models to be available at the abortuaries while we are praying the rosary. These precious models of the pre-born child instantly show any woman walking into an abortuary what her baby really looks like.

The cost of $1,700 spent on this project will be well worth it if even one mother changes her mind after seeing what her baby looks like.

This is an update from Virtue Media, a project Children of the Rosary has committed your specified donations to each month. This message shows how many ways we can reach out to needy mothers. Please help us continue to support this work!  For more, click...

On the subject of babies born deformed I must say this: I am the mother of three daughters. When the oldest was born 24 years ago it was a terrible shock to find out that she had a serious birth defect (spina bifida).

If we had known about it during my pregnancy, abortion would have never been a choice; neither was institutionalizing her. When I looked at her I saw a helpless baby who did not ask to be born that way; I saw my own flesh and blood and I saw a human being, a child of God.   For more, click...

Republican presidential hopeful Steve Forbes made the argument that abortion and assisted suicide are wrong because only God decides who lives or dies.

"Life is not a state-endowed right. Life comes from God and God only," he said to loud applause.

Forbes criticized rivals Bush and McCain for refusing to promise to require judicial appointments or a running mate to be against abortion.

Forbes' campaign fliers also were handed out that had a photo of a baby and read, "If you don't respect this child, you won't wear this robe," also showing a photo of a judge. "It's that simple. And it's a pledge even his pro-life opponents won't make," it said.

Forbes said the special education school, Hidden Treasure, illustrates why abortion is wrong. "Many of those kids would not be here if there wasn't a belief in the sanctity of life," he said.
