More on Fr. Pavone
By Michael F. Flach
Editor's Desk
Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, has been sharing his wit and wisdom with HERALD readers for more than a year. His recent column on pro-life messages for parish bulletins offered some simple, practical advice that could easily change someone’s life.
Priests for Life recently announced that Father
Pavone is participating in a new pro-life series on Mother Angelica’s Eternal
Word Television Network (EWTN), the world’s largest religious
cable television network.
The 1999 edition of "Defending Life," which premiered March 1, will feature 13 new shows with 22 guests. It promises to cover the entire spectrum of the pro-life movement.
Father Pavone’s optimistic message is simple and direct: after 25 years, the pro-choice movement is collapsing.
His guests will include Lorraine LaNeve, a woman who worked in the abortion industry for five years. She helped set up abortion facilities, lobbied on behalf of the abortion industry, and assisted in the procedure herself. In this disturbing interview, LaNeve describes how she saw live children killed and hundreds of women shamelessly degraded. The abortion industry never told her about the years of grief and mental suffering she would endure as a result of the terrifying things she witnessed.
In another powerful interview, Father Pavone speaks with Deborah Cardamone, whose daughter was killed during a so-called "safe and legal" abortion procedure, and Kay Stile, whose daughters ended up in a persistent vegetative state when she underwent the procedure."
As Father Pavone reveals, these cases are all
too common in the abortion industry. They help to explain why former allies
of the abortion camp are coming over to the pro-life side by the
thousands.
Father Pavone does much more than simply explain
why the tide is turning in the abortion battle. He gives practical steps
we can all take to hasten abortion’s final collapse. In a groundbreaking
interview with Mark Crutcher, founder and
president of "Life Dynamics," Father Pavone discusses new tactics which
can be used to legally shut down abortion mills and put abortionists behind
bars.
Another program will reflect on what the young
people who were born after the 1973 Roe vs. Wade court decision have to
say about a society that did not consider them "persons" while they
were growing in their mothers’ wombs.
Kathy McConn, founder of the new pro-life effort
"The Gabriel Project" tells Father Pavone how local parishes are responding
"on the spot" to the concrete needs of women in the community who
are pregnant and considering abortion.
The series premiered on March 1. It is scheduled
to run every Monday at 4:30 a.m., Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. and Saturday at
11 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time). For details about possible
local changes in broadcast time, contact your
local cable network. For additional information, contact EWTN

A note from the Web Master:
It is noteworthy and honorable that some folks are willing to stand up for a ban on Partial-Birth Abortion. Let us not forget that ordinary everyday run of the mill abortion is also murder. We must understand that murder is murder no matter the method. Because one method of abortion seems to be horrible does not make the other methods less so. We should be horrified and sickened by any abortion regardless of the method. The Fifth Commandment spells it out clearly:
"Thou shalt not kill."
A fetus is a person, a human being with a God given soul. Imagine the pain the Lord must feel when any abortion occurs. Please contact both of your Senators and Representative, via letter or phone, to let them know how horrified you are that abortions are legal and to stop Partial-Birth abortions and all other abortions as soon as possible.
(It has become apparent that they do not respond to email therefore you will have more of an impact by writing or telephoning.)
