Theresa Bonopartis

Is the co-founder of  the Entering Canaan Post Abortion Ministry  and Director of Lumina/Hope & Healing After Abortion a program of Good Counsel Homes.

Having experienced abortion herself, her journey of healing has inspired many works across the country and the world, including “An Afternoon of Prayerful Remembrance and Intercession“, a prayer service she developed with the Family Life Office of New York, which has been televised by EWTN and conducted by many diocese across the country.

Theresa’s articles on healing can be found in many publications including, Mind & Spirit, Aleteia, Catholic Online, Catholic Exchange,  and National Catholic Register.  She is also a contributor at The Federalist.  Her book of meditations, “A Journey to Healing Through Divine Mercy”, published by Marian Press, assists those suffering from abortion on their healing journey through reflections on real issues faced on the healing journey.

She currently serves on the Advisory Board of Be Not Afraid, a ministry for those who have received an adverse pregnancy diagnosis.

Very important - VOTE NO on Proposition 1 !

You probably have already heard of this mess, and remember if you are voting in person you must flip the ballot over to vote on the proposition.

Here  a reminder of the mess - really it's an absurd mess.

Please vote ‘NO’ to this very dangerous legislation and encourage EVERYONE you think will listen to do so, in NY State or anyone who has friends & family here.  Please blast this out to your contacts by email, text, social media, posting up the attached flyer(s), or other means.  Two big dangers with this proposition:

 

1. Enshrine abortion up until birth in the New York State Constitution – even if you are pro-choice, you may agree that opening the door to removal of any restrictions on abortion (such as viability of the fetus) and any conscience protections for those who don’t wish to participate in abortion would be bad for society.

 

2. Allow children to make life-altering medical decisions without parental consent and other loosening of age-appropriate restrictions – This would allow children as young as 12 to make such decisions.  I think most people would agree that if you are not old enough to responsibly use guns, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, drive, or enter legal contracts, you are not old enough to decide about life-altering surgery without parental consent.

Pope Francis (again) refers to abortionists as "hit men"

On his flight back to the Vatican from Belgium. The issue was the former King of Belgium resigning rather than sign a pro-abortion bill.

 

Chicago "Pregnancy Center Vandalized After Democrat Convention"

Not much damage - just spray painted the building and cemented the doors shut. What's the big deal? Meanwhile our friend Joan Andrews Bell gets 27 month sentence "Pro-lifers imprisoned under FACE Act speak out" for walking into a clinic, sitting on the floor and saying the rosary. And another woman, Lauren Handy, gets 57 months. What a disgrace. And it could get much worse. 

After the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention, a pro-life pregnancy center in Chicago was vandalized. Aid to Women is a pro-life nonprofit that was started in 1978. It runs two maternity homes and five pregnancy centers in the Chicago area. Early Friday morning, red paint resembling blood was splattered on one of the Chicago locations. The doors were cemented shut and vandals spray painted the words “fake clinics” and “the dead babies are in Gaza” near the center’s entrance. Because of the vandalism, Aid to Women had to cancel Friday appointments with women seeking assistance.

Planned Parenthood mobile "clinic" offering free abortions at Democratic Convention

The nation’s biggest abortion company will be killing babies at no cost while Democrats celebrate Kamala Harris and her abortions up to birth agenda. Planned Parenthood Great Rivers of St. Louis announced in a X post that a bus is headed to the Democrat convention in Chicago this week to give away free abortions.

Proposed Democrat Platform: Abortion 13, God 0

So abortion is mentioned 13 times in the proposed Democrat Party Platform, God mentioned 0. And euphemisms - "reproductive rights, etc" mentioned multiple times.

"One Nation under Abortion, with Liberty and Abortion for all", the updated line?

The Democratic National Convention meets next week to nominate Kamala Harris for president, drawing renewed scrutiny to the party’s platform. Last month, the Democratic Party released a draft of its 2024 platform that vows to nationalize abortion-on-demand across all 50 states, support taxpayer-funded abortion,

The draft platform, released on July 13, places a high premium on abortion and extreme gender ideology. “The word abortion is mentioned 13 times. [The concept of] reproductive rights is mentioned 14 more times. The term LGBTQI+ is mentioned 35 times. Climate change, or climate in the context of climate change, occurs over 70 times,” said Brent Keilen, vice president for Strategic Initiatives at the Family Research Council, on Tuesday’s episode of “Washington Watch.”

“But I could not find one mention of the word God in the platform draft,” noted Keilen. “I also couldn’t find one mention of the word Christian.”
