On Tuesday in the House of Representatives, Congresswoman Nita M. Lowey of New York read an article in defense of Margaret Sanger, eugenicist and founder of Planned Parenthood.
Lowey began by praising Sanger for “her commitment to improving the health and lives of women” and stated that she was “proud to recognize Margaret Sanger for her [...]

One argument that I hear time and time again against pro-lifers is “Why don’t they quit this and actually do something to help women? Hypocrites.” These people seem to think that they are making an original, thoughtful point. However, their suggestions have already been in action for many years. In fact, [...]

Please read the following letter, written by a local woman, and then take a look at my comments on Proposition 85, the Parental Notification Initiative here in California.
Hello, I am a Sacramento area parishioner, both myself and my children attended local Catholic schools. I would like to share my story to help encourage more people [...]

I recently came across the song “Can I live” by Nick Cannon, who is a relatively well-known rapper, comedian, music producer, and actor.
His song, “Can I live”, tells the story of how his mother was going to abort him, but changed her mind.

In two incidents, college pro-life displays were vandalized this month. The first occurred at Northern Kentucky University, when “British literature professor Sally Jacobsen and several of her students destroyed a display of hundreds of crosses pro-life students have put up in the grass outside the student center to talk about the 47 million unborn [...]

South Dakota recently passed a bill outlawing abortion, except when the life of the mother is at stake. Many people may not think that this is the right time for such a law, including some pro-lifers. (Case in point: Going With Your Brain Over Heart by [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I entered a pro-life essay contest in the Diocese of Sacramento hosted by Catholics for Life. I was informed last week that I had won first place. Yesterday (Tuesday), I was recognized at the pro-life mass at the Cathedral and was asked to read my essay at the [...]

This Saturday, my dad, my brother, and my sister attended the Walk for Life. According to several sources, there were about 15,000 people there. The San Francisco Chronicle chose to describe it this way: “Subdued Walk For Life meets boisterous pro-choice demonstrators.” According to my family, it was more like “Regular pro-lifers meet [...]

I have been to pro-life rallies. (I have also seen a pro-abortion rally, since they were counter-protesting on the same day.) I have seen the reactions range from giving a thumbs-up sign to flipping people off and yelling obscenities. (These last two are almost always from those usually labeled “tolerant.”) However, [...]

I found this on the Catholics for a Free Choice website.

To remember Roe vs. Wade and the effect it has had (33 years of legalized abortion, resulting in over 43 million deaths, and an estimate that 43 percent of American women will have at least one abortion by the age of 45), there are several events those in the California or Sacramento region can [...]

According to this article, in England, “up to 50 babies a year are born alive after botched National Health Service abortions.” Babies aborted “after more than 21 weeks and six days of gestation should have their hearts stopped by an injection of potassium chloride before being delivered.”
However, sometimes that is not the case. According [...]

We and our attorney, Eric Grant, have repeatedly tried to reconcile with Loretto’s administration, beginning with our request for a retraction and apology on November 4th. After waiting ten days, Loretto finally responded with an unfortunate refusal along with a copy of their press release. My family continues to hope for reconciliation (see our press [...]

Because there have been many predictions about Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice running for President in 2008, (although Dr. Rice herself has said it is unlikely) I thought that it would be good to see how she stands on the issues.
Although I am not just concerned with one issue, abortion is important to me, as [...]

The Sacramento Bee is doing an article on my expulsion. They asked for a statement. This is what I gave them:
Saturday morning, October 29th, via overnight mail, we were informed by the administration of Loretto High School of the “immediate dismissal” of our family from the school. Coming in the middle of fall term, this [...]

As of Saturday, October 29th, I was given official notice by express mail that I am expelled from Loretto High School. This was given completely without forewarning, without a meeting, and without a chance to say goodbye. My family is now seeking legal advice, and more details will follow.

First, I would like to thank those who commented on my blog, especially the women who courageously spoke about their abortion experiences. There is no better or truer voice for the pro-life movement than those who have had abortions. Thank you for sharing your stories.
After the initial uproar and confusion over Ms. Bain’s [...]

In case some of you have not figured it out yet, Wynette Sills is my mother. I was unable to reveal this earlier because at the time of my last post, my family felt that it might make my time at Loretto awkward. After all, our family appreciates the school and hopes that my younger [...]

I have just come across an excellent pro-life website. It is At first, I thought that “Abort73″ meant no on Proposition 73, but since the website is very anti-abortion and there is no mention of Prop 73, I think that it means Abort 1973, which is the year of Roe vs. Wade.
Anyways, this is [...]
