This is your chance to be part of our historic 3-day "Walking the Halls of Congress" project.

And <https://www.priestsforlife.org/donate/donate-creditcard.aspx?ap=601873&ad=S18339>click here to help sponsor this important mission! Yesterday Priests for Life dispatched a delegation to Congress that included: * Myself * Fr. Peter West * Fr. Denis Wilde * Fr. Victor Salomon * Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate and the niece of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. * Jim Pinto, Pastoral Associate and Coordinator of our Lay Missionaries of the Gospel of Life Our mission is to: * Confront pro-abortion politicians! * Show them actual diagrams of the two most common abortion procedures - "Suction Curettage" and "D and E". <http://www.priestsforlife.org/resources/medical/suctionexplanation.htm>Click here to see the diagrams. * Provide them with quotations from abortionists that we uncovered in "how to" abortion textbooks and court testimony. <http://www.priestsforlife.org/isthiswhatyoumean/quotes.htm>Click here to read some of the quotes. * Define what "abortion" actually means using those diagrams and quotes. * And then challenge them to answer this critical question: "When you say the word 'abortion,' is this what you mean?" We will continue to confront pro-abortion lawmakers today and tomorrow. And if your representatives in Congress - either in the House or Senate - are pro-abortion, then make sure you ask them the same question we're asking them! The purpose of our "Walking the Halls of Congress" mission is to get Americans to hear the descriptions of what abortion is. When that's the starting point of the debate, we win. Keep in mind, this comes before any discussion of the legality or morality of abortion. All we're asking of pro-abortion lawmakers is what they mean by the word "abortion." Anyone who evades the question will demonstrate an unwillingness to face what abortion is. That evasion raises the further question as to why someone would support the legal continuation of a procedure they cannot even bring themselves to describe. After all, anyone who uses the word "abortion" ought to be able to answer what the word means. Once lawmakers go on record answering - or evading - our question, we will publicize their answers or evasions to their constituents. In this way there will be no misunderstanding on what lawmakers do in fact mean when they say they support abortion. You know only too well that it's high time politicians come clean on this issue. That fact was made abundantly clear when two high-profile "Catholic" politicians tried to hide their pro-abortion positions by "intellectualizing" the matter. They talked in vague terms about when human life begins and falsely stated that the Church has been unclear on this for centuries. Well, we're not asking them to play the role of theologian or philosopher. All we want them to do is be the public servant they were elected to be and let us know whether or not they support allowing "doctors" to brutally tear apart innocent babies in the womb. To rip their legs and arms from their tiny bodies. To crush their skulls with powerful forceps. To slash their necks with razor-sharp scissors and suck out their brains. That's the gruesome reality of abortion and it's about time these politicians were forced to admit whether this is what they support when they vote to protect "abortion". In order for us to have the impact we need with lawmakers, it's vital that as many Americans as possible sign on to be part of Priests for Life's "Walking the Halls of Congress" project. To do so: <http://www.priestsforlife.org/askwashington/index.aspx>Click here and make your voice heard. Then <https://www.priestsforlife.org/donate/donate-creditcard.aspx?ap=601873&ad=S18339>click here to lend your much-needed financial support to this campaign. But whatever you do, don't delete this message until you've signed on. Time is of the essence. There are just seven weeks left until Election Day 2008. That's all the time we have to make our fellow Americans aware of what our political leaders mean when they say they support abortion. With your help today, Priests for Life will continue to press these pro-abortion lawmakers on this vital issue. Remember the words of Our Lord: "For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, that his may not be exposed" (John 3:20). Join us as we expose the grim horror of what exactly it is pro-abortion lawmakers support so that voters will see it and take that knowledge into the voting booth with them this November 4. Thank you for supporting this vital and historic campaign. God bless you. Sincerely, [] Fr.
