I have a question for those who profess to be pro-life:

Pro-life poeple speak about the evil of abortion; however, you rarely hear them even mention the issue of world hunger. How can this be?

Check out the hunger statistics on this website:

How can you be pro-life and ignore the needs of millions of children in the world who die of hunger and nutrition-related causes? Doesn’t “pro-life” include children who are already born?

Pro-Lifers are against abortion and against hunger. Sometimes people just don’t get it. We don’t pick sides. All life is valuable.

Different political parties will have different philosophy’s of taking care of hunger but nobody in their right mind is for people to starve.

Please get your free copy of Dr. Janet Smith’s “Contraception Why Not” and she addresses your issue.

Priscilla Ann,

Do you know there is currently an individual running for U.S. President who voted for Infanticide? (against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act).

What do you think about this?
 
well,as the old saying goes…so what else is new? This is an old statement…golly as a man who sired 7 children and was working in poor paying jobs I feel my wife and I know something about poverty…I was making $6200.00 in the Post Office and didnt get the public school job ,in my home town I had student taught at.I had un-covered a drug ring while in the PO and thus was not hired…so I had to rush a did get a job at the new catholic high school…at a cut in pay down to $6,000.00 a year. Of course we ‘care’ about world hunger…who do you think gives the most to these organizations that also ‘cares’…its not the number of citizens that determine the economy its the type of government…in these third world countries they are all run by mean spirited dictators who have destroyed the middle class and want the masses to remain poor,better to control them little red riding hood.
 
For some reason many people have the misconception that pro-life supporters don’t believe in feeding and caring for the poor.

Many of us don’t feel the government should be the one to pay for and care for the poor. After all the government has a poor intake and outflow of funds and has many restrictions of who they help. Charities of our own choice (faith based charities) are the way many of us choose to spend our money. Some of which have only a 10% overheard or lower per dollar spent.

We should not need a government taxing body force us to do what we should be doing out of Christian or personal charity.
 
God has a plan; it is not our choice to murder babies because we are afraid of world hunger.

“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?” (Matthew 6:26)

"Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. But the very hairs of your head are numbered. Therefore do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Matthew 10:29-31)

"What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? And if it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. Thus it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish. (Matthew 18:12)

“For Thou form my inward parts: Thou didst weave me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
Psalm 139:13-14

Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah, and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She called out with a loud voice, and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy! Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
Luke 1:39-45

I have been sponsoring two children through Christian Children’s Fund since about 1985. What made me commit to this sponsorship is a radio program about world hunger and how government sponsored “feed the poor” programs often do not help because the receiving country’s officials use the money towards cash crops, not to feed the poor. I will continue this private charity for the rest of my life as a commitment because I believe in non-government charitable organizations. We have a great country that allows us to transfer just about any amount of our income directly to the charity of our choice without taxation.

I am also a Pro-Life activist who never knew what the word “abortion” meant until 10 to 15 years after Roe vs Wade. I don’t read the newspapers much, and it wasn’t until about this time that I first heard about it from my local parish. I was stunned to find that the abortion rate was about 1.5 million at that time, and equally appalled and outraged that our local churches were not speaking out. As I watched our parish’s response over the years, I would note how sermons often would not even mention abortion but would concentrate on world hunger. I became cynical about my local Catholic Church and whenever I heard the words Peace and Justice, I would equate it to the words Pacify and Justify our lack of response to our collective consciences in trivializing the abortion issue. We now have 50 million murders and I’m wondering when the Catholic vote is going to show all political parties that the abortion issue is non-negotiable which any moral person should realize.
