Face of Pro-Life #87 – Eileen Bianchini ( 30min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Eileen Bianchini discusses with Corinn Dahm the threat of legalized assisted suicide coming to the state of Connecticut and the resulting horrors that could be unleashed. These include almost no ability to confirm weather the person is actually consenting to being killed and whether real pressure is being put on them from family, doctors or government to “Not be a burden”. All of which leads to the specter of a universal distrust of the entire medical institution that is supposed to be the one we trust to save our very lives.

Ave Maria!

Bill O’Brien, President CT Right to Life, discusses with hostess Corinn Dahm the health care bill on this show recorded on live television. He covers the problems with the bill including the fact that there is no explicit denial of abortion funding which is needed since the Hyde Amendment does not cover this bill. He also mentions how there are no conscience clauses in the bill so medical professionals who morally object will find it hard to opt out. And then there are Catholic Hospitals…

Face of Pro-Life #71 – The Culture of Life – Corinn Dahm & Fr. Angelo Geiger, FI ( 30min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

In this episode, Corinn speaks with Fr. Angelo Geiger about what is meant by the “Culture of Life” and how we will bring it about.  Fr. Angelo explains that the Culture of Life refers to more than just beginning and end of life issues, but to the entire moral environment in which we live.  Things like abortion, contraceptives, and euthanasia are the fruit of a bad moral environment.  Fr. Angelo believes that pro-lifers need to know that their spiritual life and personal conversion need to come before anything else.

Face of Pro-Life #67 – Peter Wolfgang, head of the FIC, talks with Corinn ( 59min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

In this episode, Corinn talks with regular guest Peter Wolfgang, head of the Family Institute of Connecticut, an organization designed to strengthen the family in Connecticut.  Peter & Corinn discuss the history of the deterioration of marriage in the past 20 years in our country, and where we stand right now in this fight.  Marriage is an institute that predates society &, in it’s natural form, benefits the individual & society.  Thanks to contraception laws in the 60s & the no-fault divorce laws of the 70s, the sacredness of the marriage bond – which is a covenant before God – has eroded to the point of allowing unnatural, depraved unions to be called marriages in our western world.

Peter explains the whole gamut of issues surrounding the crisis of marriage in his usual thoughtful, energetic, & engaging style.

Face of Pro-Life #66 – Somewhere near the Gates of Hell with Corinn & Lorraine ( 59min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Dr. Lorraine Hartnett, medical doctor founder of Eucharistic Helpers of the Sick, talks with Corinn Dahm about the neo-pagan Connecticut legislature’s “Act Concerning Death with Dignity” Bill, which proposes that a terminally ill patient (note: aren’t we all “terminally ill”?) can choose to “competently” commit suicide.  This is another manifestation of the pagan form of despair (i.e. life without hope) that’s becoming legislated in our country.  “If Christ is not raised from the dead, let us eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die,” as St. Paul famously stated, and such is the mentality of our darkened and empty culture.
