Ave Maria!

Leticia Velasquez describes her book that she is writing on the trials and joys of being the mother of a Down Syndrome child. She covers motivations for the book, i.e. the culture against children with disabilities which she continuously runs into. She has titled the book “A Special Mother is Born” referring to herself that when her special-needs-child was born, she was reborn into a new kind of motherhood. It will consist of 24 stories of her experience both dealing with the needs of her daughter and dealing with this anti life culture. It is due out in the fall and she hopes it will give such mothers what she could not find for herself, good information about how to make the bold step to embrace this beautiful kind of motherhood. She also wants to fight against the Hitlarian eugenics culture that is obsessed with a perfect race.

Ave Maria!

Eileen Bianchini of the Gospel of Life ministry discusses with hostess Corinn Dahm the insidious issue of Assisted Suicide, how it is being promoted and how a loophole that could make it a national law overnight. It is being sold to physicians through the living will and to the public as a way to choose when we die. She mentions that we do not have a right to choose to die.

• An imposed death in not a good death.
• Suicidal tendencies, depression, are not healthy
• Fear of death, loss of dignity, incontinence, being a burden
• Cost reduction measures being remarketed.
• Rationing of healthcare
• “Choice” to die with “dignity” becomes a duty
• Sustinet in Connecticut already has rationing included
• Courts need “consensus” of just a few states to reopen a court case.
• Need more than a Living Will, Advanced Directive and a Durable Power of Attorney.
• International Task Force 1-800-958-5678.
• Priests for Life on the Right to Life.

Face of Pro-Life #98 – Lorraine Hartnett with Corinn Dahm on taking care of the elderly ( 60min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Dr. Lorraine Hartnett discusses with hostess Corinn Dahm on the state of elderly care in our medical institutions relating her sad experience in dealing with nursing homes in order to take care of her father and from her profession of taking care of elderly. She discusses ways that healthcare can be provided to everyone without instituting nationwide bureaucracies which will put distance between patients and doctors and at great cost. Doctors are being over regulated and are loosing their rights to opt out of morally objectionable procedures like abortion and contraception.

She puts forward the very sensible concept of subsidiarity where the smallest group that is needed to take care of a job should be entitled to do it as opposed to larger one. Only on this basis will it be possible for us to exercise true charity which always requires the freedom that gigantic bureaucracies deny.

They discuss how current problems are related to the loss of Christian-Judaic principles which Dr. Lorraine works to remedy through prayer groups at work. And, how doctors are buried in paper work and pressure to perform financially instead of taking care of patients. This will lead to fewer doctors which is the key problem to start with.

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.

Face of Pro-Life #5 – Corinn Dahm & Joe Collison (29min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

“The American people don’t care about abortion.”? That’s Joe Collison’s explanation for the shift in power in the 2006 midterm elections. As it stands today, a vote for the Democratic party is a vote for abortion and all the surrounding sins against life. Among other things in this episode, Joe and Corinn discuss how children have become a commodity and an entitlement in our culture: “We’re entitled to children when we want them, and we’re entitled to kill them when we don’t.”? It cannot be said often enough that the biggest accomplice of the Culture of Death is the media, who saturate our society with sex and then ignore, gloss over, and intentionally misinterpret it’s painful, brutal consequences.

Face of Pro-Life #4 – Fr. Angelo talks with Corinn Dahm on the Face of ProLife (30min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Both sides of the abortion debate hold that death and life belong to God: our side trusts in the Providence of God the Creator while the culture of death fashions themselves to be God and therefore believes that they are the final determiners of right and wrong, good and evil. There is a formula to overcome this juggernaut of secularism and self-worship, but the cost is high: the cost is our own selfishness and the call to a deeper conversion. In this episode of the Face of Pro-Life, Corinn and Fr. Angelo discuss the rights of God, the need for penance, and the need for personal conversion as the surest weapon in this the greatest fight of our times.
