CHILLING: 911 Call Mom Finds Daughter Dead After Abortion.
August 10, 2016 By Cheryl Sullenger | Operation Rescue
Battle Creek, MI – Usually an anticipated time of fun-filled family festivities, the Fourth of July was anything but a day of celebration for the family of Cree Erwin. In the early morning hours, Cree’s mother, Tanya, made a gruesome discovery. Her daughter, Cree, lay dead in Tanya’s own bed, cold as ice.
While important questions remain, 911 records just obtained by Operation Rescue, along with a police report provided by long-time Michigan pro-life activist Lynn Mills, shed a bit more light on what happened to 24-year old Cree Erwin in her final hours of life as she struggled with complications to an abortion she had less than four days earlier.
The records also reveal a mother’s unspeakable grief at discovering her daughter’s body – gut-wrenching grief that no mother should have to experience – the cruel loss was compounded by the fact that this young lady’s death was …More

Fr. Jacques Hamel: Jesus comes vulnerable, poor.
A rough English translation from the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal: Jesus came to make himself vulnerable...poor. Jesus came and is close to those who lack a reason to live...poverty.......the Son of God,...one finds him at Christmas in a stable.
(If anyone can improve the translation, please feel free to add a comment.)

Dance routine.
...not usually fond of modern dance, but this is fascinating and seems to be impossible without being graceful...and very strong.

Reggie Littlejohn-raising China's youngest political prisoner.
Anni Zhang was first introduced to Reggie Littlejohn over the radio. This is what Reggie recalls having said to her:
"Annie! I am so impressed with you! I'm impressed with your courage. I'm impressed with your intelligence, with your articulateness, with your poise, that at 10 years old you have the wherewithal to stand up against the Chinese Communist Party! If you could remain true, if you could remain humble, if you could remain pure, you could help lead your people to freedom!"
Reggie Littlejohn is the founder of Women's Rights Without Frontiers which works for the end to China's coercive measures to regulate population, including forced abortion and forced sterilization.

BUSTED! Planned Parenthood shown profiting from sale of baby parts.
Planned Parenthood Director of Research Melissa Farrell discusses "altering the process" to obtain "intact fetal cadavers," working to fulfill a requested 120 "orders" and assuring each "part" can be billed as a separate line item to assure profitable compensation...
Houston, TX – The Center for Medical Progress has released a new video detailing how Planned Parenthood used bogus line-item entries to hide profits from the sale of aborted baby remains.
The video focuses on invoices obtained by Operation Rescue’s Texas attorney Briscoe Cain through Freedom of Information Act requests and connects the dots to Planned Parenthood’s duplicitous book-keeping scheme with clips from the CMP’s undercover investigation at the Houston Planned Parenthood, one of the largest volume late-term abortion facilities in the country.
“The invoices clearly show how Planned Parenthood padded invoices in such a way as to hide the fact they were …More

Stranded Pro-Life Group Holds Ad Orientem High Mass in Motel Bar.
You’ve probably already heard of the Great Turnpike Mass of 2016, but they weren’t the only ones to have Mass while stranded. Another pro-life group stuck on the Pennsylvania Turnpike was able to make it to a nearby motel where 250 kneeling students sang Gregorian chant and celebrated an ad orientem high Mass in the motel’s bar room!
“They knelt on the floor for the duration of the Mass,” Fr. Joshua Caswell, SJC, one of the group’s leaders, told ChurchPOP. “Tears could be seen on many faces—tears of gratitude, I think.” He added: “I have never seen a more reverent scene.”
Fr. Caswell is a priest at St. John Cantius Parish in Chicago, IL. The parish is famous for its spectacular beauty and traditional liturgical renewal. They send a Crusaders for Lifestudent group to the March for Life each year (they all wear yellow; if you’ve attended the March for Life, you can’t miss them; learn more about them here).

Fr. Marcel Guarnizo-Gay Marriage Discussion with Kathy Sinnott, former MEP.
What engenders more debate and strong feelings as discussion of gay "marriage"? Kathy Sinnott, former MEP and host of EWTN’s Celtic Connections speaks with Fr. Marcel Guarnizo in advance of Ireland’s gay marriage referendum in May.
Ireland is 90% Catholic and yet perhaps a majority of Irish are prepared to vote for so-called gay marriage. Why does the confusion and misinformation continue when a couple of years ago it would have been unthinkable?
Ms. Sinnott refers to Fr. Guarnizo’s reflections as among the best and most informative she has heard. In their discussion they look closely at the issue from a human, psychological and faith level. Finally they talk about how this issue, which goes to the very fabric of our society and how we understand family, plays out politically across Europe.
