122 years ago the Supreme Court upheld "Separate but Equal" Segregation

The anniversary was Friday, the 18th. Thanks to Ed. Mechmann, Director of Public Policy for the Archdiocese of NY, for sending this around. Justice and Love - eventually - wins out. 

One hundred twenty-two years ago today the Supreme Court blew a gigantic hole through the Fourteenth Amendment by upholding “separate but equal” segregation, laying the legal foundation for Jim Crow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plessy_v._Ferguson  It took sixty years to correct this injustice. The clock is still ticking on Roe v. Wade, but we never give up hope and hard work.

Rally for Life in White Plains; good turnout in bitter weather

Over thirty people, plus a family of six - not pictured - who arrived at the end.

AND mostly a good response from passers-by. It's a great intersection for a pro-life demonstration and channel 12 cablevision had some afternoon coverage, including a brief quote from Judy Anderson, a co-director of HVCL. The abortion mill was not open that day.

              Abortion: The Acceptable Act of Violence

A high percentage of young marchers will again enthusiastically lead a hundred- thousand citizens to rally in Washington, D.C. at Noon on Wednesday, January 22, calling on President Barack Obama and Congress to end this nation’s most shameful legacy – the legal targeting and slaughtering of innocents in the womb.

Adults and students from the Westchester/Putnam area, including Ossining, Peekskill and Katonah, will join like-minded Americans from across the nation. “We will ask President Obama to put an end to the violence of abortion and its taxpayer funding now coerced through his administration’s health mandates,” says Hudson Valley Coalition for Life spokeswoman Brigid Faranda. “While Planned Parenthood becomes the largest abortion provider in our country with over 300,000 abortions executed yearly, life affirming solutions and choices like adoption and pregnancy care centers are being targeted and under-funded, safe haven laws under-reported, and basic safeguards for women increasingly phased out,” says Ms. Faranda.

For example in New York the abortion capitol, Governor Cuomo wants to expand abortion through the 9th month of pregnancy via point 10 of a so-called Women’s Equality Act that simultaneously lowers safety protections for women! Now, along with demands for even more abortions, comes an increasingly coarse, violent, sexual culture aimed at younger and younger children. Fifty-five million human beings have been eradicated, not by guns or bullying, but burned with saline, surgically dismembered, or chemically poisoned in the womb. Silence is unacceptable!

40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade; unlimited abortion is killing our country.

Prayer and fasting.

 

O Mary, bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living, to you do we entrust the cause of life.

Look down, O Mother upon the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy.

Grant that all who believe in Your Son may proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the people of our time. Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new, the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their lives and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build, together with all people of good will, the civilization of truth and love, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life.

This prayer is the conclusion of Pope John Paul II's encyclical, Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life)

This Saturday: Annual "Rally for Life" in White Plains, 12 noon to 1PM

Please join us for this annual event, coinciding with the 39th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, unleashing abortion on demand and resulting in over 50 million lives lost since 1973.
