The courageous Father Tom Euteneuer, president of Human Life International, had this to say (via e-mail) regarding Sen. Hillary Clinton's upcoming appearance at a Catholic fundraiser in Chicago:

"The contradiction of the world's foremost abortion promoter visiting a Catholic children's home called 'Mercy' is beyond words. Mrs. Clinton's visit is a scandal of immense proportions for the local church, but it is also sadly typical of church leaders' unwillingness to draw the line between good and evil in order to protect people's faith."

Amen.

Theresa Bonopartis, director of Lumina, a post-abortion referral network, submitted a letter to a New York newspaper in response to Gov. Eliot Spitzer's recent introduction of pro-abortion legislation in that state. The following is an edited excerpt from Ms. Bonopartis' letter:

'Gov. Spitzer has proposed legislation in response to the banning of partial-birth abortions. This legislation coincides with the extreme pro-abortion agenda purporting to 'guarantee a women's right to make decisions related to her personal reproductive health.'

 'In his press release relating to the legislation, members of Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights, NARAL Pro-Choice New York and other pro-abortion organizations are quoted praising the governor.

'One voice that continues to be ignored by ... the governor is that of women who are suffering as a result of a past abortion.

'Pro-abortion groups continue to deny post-abortion trauma, and while they claim to speak for all women, they go out of their way to silence those not in agreement with their views....

'I invite Gov. Spitzer, if he truly is concerned about the health of all women, to introduce legislation that would ensure women know all the facts and risks of abortion. I invite him to meet with some of us who have experienced the devastation abortion has caused in our lives....

'Enough is enough. It is time to call these pro-abortion extremists to task with the truth, which is finally beginning to come forward, as evidenced by the banning of partial-birth abortion and by the voices of those who have been there.'
