Latest Gallup disaster for pro-abs!

In spite of what the media would like us to believe, polls show a definite, long-term move in the pro-life direction - and that is irrefutable! 

http://www.nationalrighttolifenews.org/news/2015/02/new-gallup-numbers-an-unmitigated-disaster-for-pro-abortionists/#.VOYUai70U67

The country is moving pro-life because of  the educational work you and I do.

I enjoy composing these emails for you.  Right now about 25,000 of you receive them.  We get very positive feedback. You are amazing about making the phone calls, taking part in the polls, and telling you neighbors the latest pro-life information.

There is no way to send out that many emails without using a service, which costs money.  Please   http://masscitizensforlife.org/give/    make a small (or large) donation today.  Better yet, make a pledge so that we will know we can keep sending out the emails.

Thank you in advance for your help - and for all the work you do following up on the emails!

Arrangements for Elinor Rafferty

 

Dear Friends,

​

I want to let you know that visitation and Elinor's funeral are on Friday morning in Quincy.   I hear that the funeral director, like most people who crossed her path over the years, was a good friend of hers.

​

I take comfort in the fact that Elinor is praying for the cause of life and Mass Citizens in particular.

​

Anne

Results of the DPS poll and a great DPS video

Thank you for voting in the DPS MA poll.  When we started, "No" was way behind.  Poll ended "No 62.26% to Yes 37.74%"  You do good work!  The comments are priceless.

This video is beautiful and should convince any Christian who is not already opposed to doctor-prescribed suicide.  Yes, there are too many of those as I'll be sharing with you.  Please pass it on.  Anne

Kick Off Rally on Wednesday at 3pm

40 Days for Life, Boston has sent the following.  You may find out below about events in all locations.  As Rita says, "It is time to sign up..."

 

Anne Dear Friends for Life,  

I hope you are coping with this old fashioned winter.  The Vigil will be challenging, but babies are still dying there, despite the weather.  I promise you, I will be there.  The Kick Off tomorrow (Wednesday) at 3 pm with Brother Pio, FPO, is on, as are the Candlelight Vigils Friday night at 7 pm (English) with the seminarians from St. John's Seminary, and Saturday night at 6 pm (Spanish) with Sister Maria Ruth, Daughter of St. Paul, of the Spanish Radio Apostolate.

  The only thing in question is the bus from Norwood/Dedham.  If you plan to take the bus, be sure to RSVP to annie40days@gmail.com or 781-769-5398.   We do not want to run a bus with 3 people on it.  If you come, we will have the bus. 

There is negligible snow forecast for the rest of the week.  It will be cold, however, so dress warmly.    It is also time to sign up for vigil hours.  You are the power of this campaign.  Your prayers and witness can save lives.  An hour is not so long to stand outside.  It is up to us to show the world that these babies' lives matter.  They have no voice but ours.   Register on our website and sign up for hours. 

If you have any difficulty, please email me and I will help you. Don't forget we are doing "Daily Informal Vigil Hours" this campaign.  If you can give us an hour, even better, an hour a week, choose a name for your group and we will post it on our website under Resources as "Daily Informal Vigil Hours".  We invite others to join you.  The list is attached and will be updated weekly. 

Check out the absolutely stellar list of prominent people who have endorsed 40 Days for Life at this link:   https://40daysforlife.com/media/Endorsements.pdf   We can be proud of the support of Pope Francis and many other prominent pro-lifers.  Use this list to your advantage when promoting the campaign.  The Vigil flier is also attached.  Post it wherever you can. Pray that we may use these 40 Days for Life to plead for God's mercy and grace upon all those involved in the sin of abortion.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.  1 Corinthians 15:58 See you on Comm. Ave.!

United for Life,

Rita Russo

Now it is Girl Scout cookies

Last year, when we learned the facts included in this article about the Girl Scouts, it was too late to do anything in Massachusetts so I want to share it with you in time this year.  http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/girl-scout-cookies-now-that-i-know-no-thank-you/

Personally I find it compelling enough that our family will skip Girl Scout cookies this year but I think it is not something about which MCFL will be raising a boycott or anything.  We have important work at the State House and our educational efforts are mighty at this time of year.  I'll be sending you more information.

I did want you to know, however.  They've gone after apple pie and motherhood (especially motherhood).  Why not Girl Scout cookies?

Great Letter from Agatha

 
Congratulations to Agatha Bodwell for her letter in the Cape Cod Times

After effects of abortion deserve compassion

 Posted Jan. 27, 2015 @ 2:01 am  Cape Cod Times

On the 42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we not only mourn the loss of 56 million children that were never born, but we also offer compassion to their parents who may still be carrying the burden of grief and regret. The psychological consequences of abortion can be devastating. Some sad and lesser-known statistics regarding the aftereffects of abortion include:

• Women have a 65 percent higher risk of clinical depression following abortion vs. childbirth.

• 65 percent of women suffer symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder following abortion.

• Suicide rates among women who have abortions are six times higher than those who give birth.

• Excluding women with a prior history of substance abuse, those who abort their first pregnancy are five times more likely to report subsequent drug and alcohol abuse vs. those who give birth.

Men and women who are still suffering from an abortion in their past can find healing and peace by reaching out to organizations like Project Rachel, Rachel's Vineyard, Fatherhood Forever and, locally, Learn Your Options.

Agatha Bodwell

Think 57,000,000 is Too Big to Get Your Head Around?

	57,000,000 deaths are more than most of us can get our heads around, although we would all love to put our arms around any of those babies.  Dave Andrusko has a piece at LifeNews with a video which will, literally, blow your mind and make that total real - a real must-see!     Anne http://www.lifenews.com/2015/01/09/amazing-video-shows-you-what-57-million-babies-killed-in-abortion-looks-like/

Brittany's Death Dangerous to Us All

 

Friends, obviously we mourn the death of any person.  Poor Brittany was used by Compassion and Choices (formerly the Hemlock Society). According to reports, Brittany far out-lived her prognosis.   Let us hope and pray that her suicide will not be the opening the death lobby needs to pass dangerous doctor prescribed suicide laws.  As usual, Rita Marker says it so well: http://www.americanthinker.com/2014/10/a_deadly_campaign_masked_as_a_personal_decision_.html

 

We must be practical.  Doctor-prescribed suicide will be proposed again in the Massachusetts legislature.  That makes each of our votes tomorrow even more important.

 

We'll be sending out last-minute info on candidates later in the day.  You may also check the MCFL website: http://masscitizensforlife.org/mcfl-pac-endorsements-and-reccomendations/

 

Let's pray for all those have terminal illnesses. 

 

Anne

PP: $1,000.00 MCFL:$1.00

 

 The Tennessee Supreme Court found that the Tennessee Constitution includes the right to abortion.  That makes it almost impossible for the state to have basic protections like parental consent laws.  So Tennessee pro-lifers have placed Question 1 on the ballot.  It says that the right to abortion or abortion funding is not guaranteed by the Constitution. 

 

Early on, MCFL sent a sacrificial contribution of $250 to support Question 1 - which we really didn't have.+

I just read that Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts sent $200,000 - a monetary advantage of almost 1000 to one!  This is what they do with (our) the tax money they receive.

One thousand to one!  What would the babies and those on the fringes of life do without dedicated people like you?  Laurie just called (it is snowing right now) to report that she is distributing our Question 5 literature.  It is people like Laurie who fuel our efforts for life.

 

Thanks to Laurie and to all of you!

 

Anne

 

All we can do is pray

Brittany Maynard is the young woman with a brain tumor who moved to Oregon in order can kill herself on Saturday, which, ironically, is All Saints Day.  The case is doubly sad because she is being used by the death lobby, Compassion and Choices.  

Brittany has received many many encouraging messages such as this:  http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/10/29/former-navy-man-becoming-priest-also-has-terminal-brain-cancer-and-a-message-for-the-woman-who-plans-to-killer-herself-in-three-days/.

 

Now it seems that Brittany has decided to delay killing herself! (http://www.thedenverchannel.com/lifestyle/health/terminally-ill-woman-may-have-changed-mind-about-taking-her-life)

 

We can only pray that she will decide against suicide once and for all.                                                                                                                                                                                  
Unfortunately, C&C has invested so much in her that I am afraid  she will be under a lot of pressure.  C&C is fine with her delay now because it keeps their message on the covers of all the magazines but they won't want to let her off the hook.

 

Let's keep praying for Brittany and all those with terminal diagnoses.

Anne

Banquet was Superb!

It is so gratifying when people leaving an event are all saying it is the best one ever.  That is certainly what happened last night!  The Banquet was "sold out," many people were there whom we haven't seen in a while, the awardees were so deserving of recognition, and Ryan was delightful.  He tells about his life and work in such an entertaining, inspirational way.  He made so many excellent points.  One that struck me especially was that some of the best things in life are unplanned.  That takes a faith that so many lack these days.

I want to thank Bea Martins, Matt Hanafin (who is developing into a great speaker), and their committee, and our Executive Director, Pat Stewart, emcee par excellence. 

I would like to remind you again of the Award winners who are just a few of the wonderful pro-lifers out there.

Pray With 40 Days, Today at Home, Tomorrow at an Abortion Facility Near You

Linda sent this a few minutes ago.
PLEASE PRAY FOR THAT FATHER WHO LOST HIS CHILD, 12 WEEKS OLD, TODAY.  READ BELOW.  GOD HELP US ALL.
40 Days for Life/Worcester
We ask you to pray for a young man who our prayer volunteers spent hours with today outside Planned Parenthood.  Carol reports, "We stood outside PP for 3 hours this morning with a crying young man whose girlfriend was inside aborting their 12 week-old baby which he desperately wanted.  He really needs a lot of prayers.  It was heartbreaking."
40 Days also needs you to pray at the facilities.  Sometimes, as you are praying, you can really feel the prayers reaching inside.  40 Days is doing a wonderful job!  If you haven't joined them yet, now is the time.  This campaign goes through Nov 2, All Souls Day.  You can easily sign up online for whatever time you want.
Thanks,
Anne

Question 5 Signs - View Here!

The Public Policy Question to require abortion facilities to be licensed and inspected is moving along beautifully!  The local people have been holding meetings, writing Letters to the Editor, and doing other publicity.  As you saw yesterday, the opposition is essentially pushing back-alley abortions.  What a pro-life victory this is going to be!  

It is time for lawn signs, which will also be used for stand-outs and at the polls.  They are especially important at the polls because people forget about the ballot questions and leave them blank.

The election is three weeks from today!  I must get the signs out to the districts ASAP, but we still need to raise $1,050 more to pay for them.  So many people have helped already.  Please help me raise the $1,050 today so I can order the signs.  

I am so grateful for all you do.  Please donate today! 

Thank you,

Anne

We Finally Got the Pro-Back-Alley-Abortion Letter!!!

Our abortion facility licensing public policy question is #5 in most districts where it is on the ballot, # 6 in a few others, and #7 in Wilbraham.  It is the same question (see wording below).  Our people in those districts have been sending excellent Letters to the Editor. We have been hoping to have some Letters to the Editor opposing our ballot question, which would give us more of a chance to publicize the pro-life position in favor of #'s 5,6, & 7.  Well, one finally came!  A doctor from Boston wrote to the Sentinal and Enterprise in Fitchburg and Leominster, which are two of our districts. 

With true pro-abortion logic, he opposes a law requiring licensing and inspecting by saying, "If we truly want to protect and improve women's health and safety, we need to pass measures that increase access to safe, legal health-care, not restrict it. 

I think either he or his cronies will write the same letter to all the papers in the 11 districts where the question is on the ballot.  Please be on the lookout.  It is a wonderful vehicle for a few letters, at least.  Again, please check the list below and contact everyone you know in any of the districts. 

There are going to be some good wins in the Massachusetts legislature on Nov 4th.  The ballot question will be the other bright spot for us! 

Thanks,

Anne

VOTE NOW: Mass. Doctor-Prescribed Suicide Poll

	Channel 22 in Springfield has it right, "Viral video promotes 'death with dignity.'"  I heard it is being discussed in local high schools!  Please respond to poll right now.  We can't have them using the results against us!  Thank you, Anne   http://wwlp.com/2014/10/09/viral-video-promotes-death-by-dignity/

"Dear Brittany"

In response to the email about Brittany, the young woman with brain cancer who plans to commit doctor-prescribed suicide, Anne sent along this note and beautiful letter.  I always appreciate it when people want to share with other pro-lifers. 

"Here is a powerful letter written to Brittany from a mother of four who is dying of cancer.  Thought you might like to share it."
http://www.aholyexperience.com/2014/10/dear-brittany-why-we-dont-have-to-be-so-afraid-of-dying-suffering-that-we-choose-suicide/ 

I also include the article about the European Human Rights Court which, liberal as they are, still seems to get it.

Good Response to Latest Doctor-Prescribed Suicide Story

The national media is bursting with the story of the young woman with a brain tumor who moved to Oregon, got her prescription, and is deciding when to use it.  Marilyn Golden, who helped advise us on our Question 2 win in 2012, handles this difficult story very well,  http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/10/07/young-san-francisco-woman-with-brain-cancer-plans-to-end-her-life-on-nov-1-brittany-maynard-oregon-compassion-choices-assisted-suicide-death-with-dignity-oregon/

This doctor-prescribed suicide push is never going away - but, then, neither are we!

Vote now,

Doctor-Prescribed Suicide "Out of Control" in Netherlands

I wanted to pull out a few statistics for you, but there are so many and they are so awful that I couldn't.  Please read it yourself.  As is so often the case with the death lobby, things get worse than could have been imagined.  Please start praying because the Massachusetts DPS bill will be filed again in January. 

Thanks,

Anne 

P.S. I started thinking and did the math.  If Massachusetts followed the path of the Netherlands, we would have about 2,000 known suicide/euthanasia cases a year!

A Delightful Surprise! Important Dates

Last night, at their dinner, Morality in Media gave out awards.  I was completely surprised and most honored to accept, on behalf of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, an award for supporting traditional family values!  Others who were honored included the Catholic Daughters of America, Mass. Family Institute, the Knights of Columbus, State Representatives Jim Lyons and Jim Miceli.  Patrick Trueman, President of the national Morality in Media spoke brilliantly.  He was a close friend of Dr. Joseph Stanton, so I was delighted to sit with him and reminisce. 

Speaking of dinners, I want to let you know that the MCFL Banquet Committee is pleased to announce their decision to dedicate the 2014 Banquet to Joe Reilly, former Executive Director, President and Chairman of the Board.  Also they asked me to tell you that almost all the tables are already reserved.  I'm looking forward to seeing so many of you!

Today at 5:00 and Other Important Dates This Week

Today at 5:00pm the Boston Bar Association hosts a panel discussion on the New Buffer Zone.  It appears that they lined up a half dozen BZ supporters and finally decided maybe they should have someone opposed to the BZ.  They were lucky to get Phil Moran, one of the counsels in McCullen vs Coakley, who has already called the New BZ "draconian."  Of course Phil is going to clean their plates because he has the Constitution on his side and knows much more about the whole thing than the half-dozen  Boston Bar Association supporters, 16 Beacon Street (right across from the State House) at 5:00. 

Thursday, Oct 2nd at 7:00 pm there will be an information session at the Braintree Library about Public Policy Question #5 which will appear on the ballot in Braintree and Weymouth.  This will instruct the legislature to vote to require abortion facilities to be licensed and inspected.  Right now there are sixteen unlicensed facilities in the Commonwealth. 

Thursday, Oct 2nd, Morality in Media Dinner, Bear Hill Golf Club, Stoneham, Features Patrick Trueman, well-known pro-lifer,  http://www.moralmedia.net/activities.html
