Below is an e-mail that was received recently…It’s creating a holy trembling within me. Please, visit the website about this and PRAY. Oh, MY GOD! HAVE MERCY ON US! END ABORTION!

Novena to stop FOCA – please mark you calendar for January 11th for fasting/prayer until the Congress decides on the 21st or 22nd
For those of you who do not know, the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) [also know as freedom to kill act] is set to be signed if congress passes it on January 21-22 of 2009. The FOCA is the next sad chapter in the book of abortion. If made a law, virtually all limitations on abortion will be lifted, which will result in the following:
1) All hospitals, including Christian hospitals would be required to perform abortions upon request. If this were to happen, some U.S. Bishops have indicated they will closing down (and not sell) Catholic hospitals rather than perform abortions or cooperate with those who do abortions – more than 30% of all hospitals in the United States are Catholic.
2) Partial birth abortions would be legal and have no limitations.
3) All U.S. tax payers would be funding abortions.
4) Parental notification will no longer be required.
5) The number of abortions could increase by as much as 100,000 annually. Currently, there are 4000+ surgical abortions performed each day. More than 50 million abortions have occurred in the US since Roe vs. Wade.
Perhaps most importantly the government would then have control in the issue of abortion. This could result in a future amendment that would force women by law to have abortions in certain situations (down syndrome babies, etc) and could even regulate how many children a woman is allowed to have.
Needless to say this information is disturbing, but sadly true. As Christians, as anyone who is against the killing of innocent children, we must stand as one. We must stop this horrific act before it becomes a law.
Thank you for reading this blog.
