We NEED A MIRACLE HEALING for 18-week-old (in utero) Silas John Laiosa, grandson of one of our sidewalk counselors. He has two holes in his heart, the official diagnosis being aortic stenosis.


SAT, MAY 18 - Eleanor and Mary counseled a young woman on Tuesday at Planned Parenthood. She came out of the abortion facility and told Eleanor, "I didn't do it!" That brings our total to 31.

Converting abortion mill workers: “When you show them love instead of condemnation, when you show them peace and joy instead of anger and judgment, that will begin to break down the walls,” David Bereit told an overflow crowd at the youth conference on Friday.

FROM JOHN O'GORMAN: Jesuit-run Boston College (BC), named Enda Kenny, the Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach), as the Commencement speaker to graduates. BC President Rev. William P. Leahy, S.J. is to present an honorary Doctor of Laws degree to him at the ceremony at Alumni Stadium at 10 a.m. on May 20, 2013. BC spokesman Jack Dunn said that Enda Kenny is "promoting human rights." 

BC's sister college - BC Law - had Pro-Abortion Commencement speakers: Vicki Kennedy (Ted's widow) in '12, and 4 when John Garvey was Dean (1999-2010).

Kenny is introducing legislation to legalize Abortion in Ireland, NOT "promoting human rights." A "Heads of the Bill" draft - perversely titled Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill 2013 - was published April 30 by the Government (Kenny's Fine Gael party in coalition with Labour). 

The Pro Life Campaign in Ireland issued a statement: PLC says Taoiseach’s reassurances on abortion are “empty and misleading.” “Two-panel six-doctor proposal for signing off on abortions is utter nonsense,” says Caroline Simons... Following the Government’s publication tonight of the Heads of the Bill on abortion, the Pro Life Campaign has dismissed the Taoiseach’s reassurances that the law will be restrictive.  ProLifeCampaign.ie needs your help!

Enda Kenny is NOT a fit person to be the Commencement Speaker and an Awardee at BC. Please contact the following to DEMAND that Pro-Abortion Enda Kenny be DISINVITED.

Reacting to NBA player Jason Collins’ decision to publicly come out as gay on Monday, ESPN analyst Chris Broussard said he wouldn’t classify a homosexual as a “Christian” because the Bible makes it clear that it is a sin. He went on to say that living in unrepentant sin, not just homosexuality, is “walking in open rebellion to God.”

THU, APR 18 - A young man came out of Women's Health in Brookline this morning to express to us his anger at his girl friend's impending abortion - he wanted the child. But a short time later the couple left together from the front door - after an abortion the women are sent out the back door - with the man smiling and giving us a thumbs up. We're taking that to be a baby saved (#23).

"Thank you guys for being here. I didn't do it." - A woman who exited Planned Parenthood on Wednesday (#22).

THU, APR 11 - Two more babies reported saved at Planned Parenthood: one on Tuesday (#21), and a late report of one last Friday (#20).

TUE, APR 9 - John called in to report a definite saved baby in Haverhill this morning (#19). Thanks be to God on this day after the Feast of the Annunciation.

Why we are losing the gay "marriage" debate - and how we can start winning Click for LifeSiteNews.com article.

Peter Hitchens is, as anyone who reads his columns knows, a pessimist. He believes Western civilization, especially in Europe, is creaking rather loudly, and uses his column to amplify that fact regularly. “I just say I’m realistic,” Hitchens tells me, “I think the outlook for Christian civilization is currently rather bleak, and I think that anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding himself.” He lists quickly a number of proofs for his assertion: mass divorce resulting in untold damage to a generation of young people, the rejection of marriage by the current generation leading to increased dependence on the state, abortion on demand, and morally (and even ideologically) bankrupt “conservative” politicians.

FRI, APR 5 - Baby number 17 was saved on Wednesday. A discouraged looking couple went into Planned Parenthood but later came out and announced, "We're keeping our baby. We don't want them to take it." The several pro-lifers present prayed with the couple and gave them pro-life information to follow up with them.

Also on Wednesday, Women's Health Services in Brookline did no abortions - same as two weeks before on a Wednesday. Like that prior week, they added extra people onto Friday morning, with customers arriving shortly after 7:00 AM. Abortionist Delli-Bovi also arrived early (about 7:30), using a cane for an apparently injured foot.

Excellent Rush Limbaugh monologue on Thursday on verbal engineering and on a Colorado court ruling that bans graphic pro-life photos:

"I proffered the theorem last week that the gay marriage issue was lost the moment we surrendered the language. The moment we allowed modifiers to marriage -- opposite-sex marriage, heterosexual marriage, gay marriage -- once we allowed that, then for all intents and purposes we lost the issue because marriage is none of those things. Marriage is one thing." Click here for full transcript.

TUE, APR 2 - Evelyn, a sidewalk counselor, was instrumental in saving a baby (#16) Saturday at Planned Parenthood.

Good Friday Homily of Father Raniero Cantalamessa, O.F.M. Cap., to Pope Francis

     We have reached the summit of the Year of Faith and its decisive moment. This is the faith that saves, “faith that overcomes the world” (1 Jn 5:5)! Faith – the appropriation by which we make ours the salvation worked by Christ, by which we put on the mantle of his righteousness. On the one hand there is the outstretched hand of God offering man His grace; on the other hand, the hand of man reaching out to receive it through faith. The “new and everlasting Covenant” is sealed with a handclasp between God and man.

     We have the opportunity to make, on this day, the most important decision of our lives, one that opens wide before us the doors of eternity: to believe! To believe that “Jesus died for our sins and rose again for our justification” (Rom 4:25)!

WED, MAR 27 - Another child was saved today (#15) after a pair of women came out of Planned Parenthood; the customer's companion actually encouraged the pro-lifers' ministry.

Tom Hamill died Monday morning at home, where he was recovering from hip replacement surgery. He had made fast progress and was already walking with only a cane. The exact cause of death is unknown, but he had a number of health issues, including diabetes and cardiovascular problems.
    He was a few weeks from the second anniversary of his wife Mary's death.
    Aside from his role as a husband and father, he was known to most of us as a veteran of the Culture War, having been active for many years in politics, MCFL, and Operation Rescue.

Funeral liturgy: 10:00 AM on Thursday, March 28 at Saint Francis of Assisi in Braintree.

Forty Days for Life / Boston concluded its Lenten segment with a a Palm Sunday prayer vigil at Planned Parenthood and an evening celebration at Concannon's in Norwood.
    Former Planned Parenthood employee Catherine Adair gave a compelling testimony about her work at the abortion mill.
    The Haverhill contingent also concluded Sunday with a vigil at Marcus Gordon's abortion facility.

Saturday at Planned Parenthood: About 25 seminarians joined us in prayer; they split into several small prayer groups. Besides the throng of pray-ers - 40 Days for Life, seminarians, regular Rosary intercessors - sidewalk counselors, like Evelyn - stood ready to plead for lives. And one woman apparently changed her mind! (#14) Approaching the pro-lifers in front of the death chamber, she started crying profusely. Then she and her male companion turned around and went back to their car and drove away. Circumstantial, but powerful!

WED, MAR 20 - Mary was the heroine again, braving the elements again to be at Planned Parenthood yesterday. She was rewarded when a young woman emerged from the facility and announced that she had decided against abortion (#13)!

FRI, MAR 15 - Rita Russo, Forty Days for Life Campaign Coordinator, called to report some good news from yesterday afternoon's 40 Days vigil at Planned Parenthood. Shortly after 3:00 pm, a woman came out of the facility and stood, apparently waiting for a ride. She spoke with Rita and said, "I'm not going to do it; I'm not going to have the abortion." She said that the inside of Planned Parenthood "is cold and disgusting. I can't wait to get away from here and go home to hug my little boy." That's #11 for this year.

John, a sidewalk counselor, reported that a woman came out of Marcus Gordon's Haverhill abortion center today and said she changed her mind; and, as a result, that she "felt much better." (#12)

MON, MAR 11 - There were three (3!) babies saved from abortion Saturday at Planned Parenthood. The first one said to Jean, a sidewalk counselor, that she "just couldn't do it" after viewing the ultrasound of her baby. Jean and Mari were each told by a woman subsequently that she had changed her mind about the abortion. That's numbers 8, 9, and 10 for this year.

We also saw new people join us for Saturday's rosary vigil at Planned Parenthood: 40 Days for Life group from Lynn, plus a group of Harvard College students. Two new sidewalk counselors began work on Saturday, also!

WED, MAR 6 - Eleanor and Mary were at Planned Parenthood today, where they - along with other counselors and prayer intercessors were instrumental in saving two babies (#6 & 7) this morning (photo from Tuesday, March 5).

FRI, MAR 1 -- On Tuesday a baby was saved (#5) from abortion. This was confirmed by the customer's female companion, who opposed the abortion, to Eleanor, a pro-life counselor whom they talked with on the way out of Planned Parenthood.

A timely article by Don Feder on the foolishness of Republican - or anyone's - support for same-sex psuedo-marriage. Civilization depends on taming self-destructive sexual urges, which do great damage to the social fabric. The continuation of the species, and the proper upbringing of the next generation, is based on men marrying women, who will remain true to each other and raise their children with loving discipline.

THU, FEB 7 - President Barack Obama addressed abortion activists at NARAL Pro-Choice America's annual dinner on Tuesday, saying in his videotaped remarks that he was joining them to “celebrate the historic Roe v. Wade decision handed down 40 years ago.”
    “To everyone at NARAL Pro-Choice America, thank you for your tireless advocacy,” Obama said. “I couldn’t be prouder of the work each of you is doing.”

MON, FEB 4 - Child number 4 was saved from abortion today at Planned Parenthood. A young woman came out and told sidewalk counselors that, "I couldn't do it." She explained that she is a drug addict and had become impregnated by rape. She was given pro-life resource information.

Marjorie Dannenfelser of the Susan B. Anthony List: “Once again, President Obama’s so-called ‘compromise’ is unacceptable – religious and moral freedom is not up for negotiation. There must be no religious ‘test’ by the government as to who, and what type of entities, are entitled to a conscience.’’ 

David Limbaugh: Advancing the liberal agenda, one lie at a time - 2/1/2013. It’s no longer necessary to report the news.

MON, JAN 14 -- Judy, a sidewalk counselor, approached a pair of women who came out of Boston's Planned Parenthood Saturday morning. One of the two said, "I didn't do it!" (#3) - just what Judy wanted to hear.  (And she had only been inside for less than a half hour, another indication of no abortion.)

Mike Adams: Stand for Life

Despair inside the beltway (American Spectator) - The second inauguration of our sitting president will take place this coming weekend as this is being written. It is a time of great happiness for most of my neighbors and friends inside the beltway, indeed for most people in the country.
     But I find myself in despair for our beloved country. It is quite likely that a large minority of the nation’s citizens agree with my pessimistic mood. The reasons for that despair are not difficult to discern.

WED, JAN 9, 2013 -- "I went inside, but I just couldn't do it," said the young woman to Carmel, a sidewalk counselor outside of Women's Health Services in Brookline on Saturday. On the same morning, a young couple exited Boston's Planned Parenthood and told a sidewalk counselor that they had decided against their abortion. These are the first babies (#1 and #2) saved in the new year.

FRI, DEC 28, 2012 (Holy Innocents) -- Since last week, three more children - all appointed for death at Boston's Planned Parenthood - have been spared. No. 72 was on Friday; and #73 and 74 were on Saturday. The second of the two on Saturday, although she left Planned Parenthood, was ambivalent about whether she would stay the course for Life. But, for now, that's a baby saved!


TUE, NOV 4, 2008 -- "I doubt that he is the long-prophesied ruler of the world, but I also believe that he is a carrier of a deadly moral virus, indeed a kind of anti-apostle spreading concepts and agendas that are not only anti-Christ but anti-human as well." -- Michael O'Brien on Barack: the Antichrist?

THU, FEB 17, 2005 -- Research vindicates Catholic teaching on marriage and contraception (Touchstone)


Why are things the way they are in the Boston archdiocese? One must be careful not to over-generalize, but we still believe there is a lot of insight  in Professor James Hitchcock's article, "Conservative Bishops, Liberal Results"
