Pastor's Corner, January 18, 2015

Dear Parishioners and Friends,
On January 22 I will be in Washington, DC, attending the March for Life. This peaceful and prayerful protest marks the anniversary of the dreadful Supreme Court decision called Roe v. Wade which essential legalized abortion for all 9 months of pregnancy throughout the United States.
Many people do not know that Roe v. Wade was all based on a lie.
“Jane Roe” was a fictitious name for the plaintiff, Norma McCorvey. Norma never wanted an abortion – she was seeking a divorce from her husband – but young, pro-abortion, feminist attorney Sarah Weddington used McCorvey’s case as a means of attempting to overturn Texas’ law making most abortions illegal.
After Norma’s conversion to Catholicism and her public support of the pro-life movement, she said, “Back in 1973, I was a very confused twenty-one year old with one child and facing an unplanned pregnancy.” “At the time I fought to obtain a legal abortion, but truth be told, I have three daughters and never had an abortion… I was persuaded by feminist attorneys to lie; to say that I was raped, and needed an abortion. It was all a lie.”
Not only was the case based on a lie but abortion is one big, horrific lie. Pope Francis said it so well, “In the light of faith and of right reason, human life is always sacred and always ‘of quality’.”
In Christ,
Msgr. Baker
