Post-abortion recovery events coming up, thanks to friend Theresa of Lumina/Hope & Healing after Abortion.

Our third "Day of Remembrance" on January 20, 2007, sponsored by The Family Life Office and Lumina. Please spread the word and if possible plan on attending. It is an amazingly grace filled day and all those who have participated in the past have voiced their gratitude in having come.

On January 22nd after the March, Silent No More will once again be holding a gathering in front of the Supreme Court. If you happen to be around please stop by and show them some support.

On January 27th we will be having a men's post abortion retreat at Our Lady of New York in the Bronx. The Knights of Columbus' Columbia Magazine has done an article for their January issue on this ministry led by the Friars of the Renewal. So often men are forgotten when it comes to healing from abortion, but we have been blessed to see God at work in the lives of those who have attended.

From January 8th-Feb 4th, The Westchester Coalition for Life will once again be sponsoring SNM TV ads reaching out to those who are post abortive. Lumina’s number continues to be on the ads as we seek to bring awareness to the general public and hope to those suffering. If you have not seen the ads you can check them out here.

February 9-11 there will be an "Entering Canaan" weekend of Prayer and Healing hosted by The Sisters of Life for those who are post abortive. For further information call 718-881-8008.

The writings expressed herein are protected expression by virtue of the First Amendment of the United States of America and by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in particular Articles 18 and 19, signed by the U.S.A. in 1948:
1) The First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
"The Free Exercise Clause reserves the right of American citizens to accept any religious belief and engage in religious rituals. The wording in the free-exercise clauses of state constitutions that religious “[o]pinion, expression of opinion, and practice were all expressly protected” by the Free Exercise Clause.[1] The clause protects not just religious beliefs but actions made on behalf of those beliefs. More importantly, the wording of state constitutions suggest that “free exercise envisions religiously compelled exemptions from at least some generally applicable laws.”[2] The Free Exercise Clause not only protects religious belief and expression; it also seems to allow for violation of laws, as long as that violation is made for religious reasons."
2) Article 18 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed by the U.S.A. in 1948, states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."
3) Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
