Recently, St. Ignatius Parish held a ministry fair highlighting over 50 ministries for parishioner involvement. I shared information about the Gabriel Project which provides help to mothers in crisis pregnancies. I made available actual size models of 12-week-old preborn babies along with literature that describes the gestational development from week one through week 12, (the heart starts beating at week four!) I was amazed at the number of people who were surprised at how much the 12-week-old models look like a baby. To hold the model in the palm of your hand brings home the realization of the humanity of the baby. One abortion is too many. We have had 60 million abortions since the passage of Roe v. Wade in 1973. It is important for us to know the development of the preborn child, so that we can stand up for life and save the babies. For the sake of future generations, believe in the power of your prayers and pray for an end to abortion.
