Are you under the impression that abortion is between a woman and her doctor, and that it doesn't affect any one but the woman (and of course, her child)? Research is showing that this is not true.

Please use the pew missal holders for our “Breaking Bread” missal/hymnals only. The holder is not intended for bulletins, soiled tissues, gum and/or candy wrappers, etc. Our regard for the Lord’s house should make us attentive to its care and good order. Moreover, consuming gum or candy in church is not only inappropriate but breaks the required Eucharistic fast before Holy Communion. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Our faith teaches us, and embryologists have concluded, that life begins at fertilization (conception). Despite this scientific reality, pro-abortionists refute the medical evidence in favor of an unnatural assertion that life begins at embryo uterine implantation. Abortifacients are drugs or devices that end rather than avoid pregnancy by preventing the fertilized embryo from implanting in the mother’s uterus. Since implantation occurs several days after fertilization, abortifacients are morally equivalent to abortion and represent a concealed attack on the human embryo.
