Pro-life weekend

Today starts the pro-life weekend. It starts with an all day fast. If you coudn't possibly go without food for a whole Friday at least give up something little, like candy, or potatoes. I'm sure the babies would appreciate whatever you give them. But remember, we arne't just giving it up for the babies, but also the elderly. We must also battle euthanasia!

Why?

Nothing is worse than knowing that there are innocents being killed in the world, and that you can do nothing about it. Often times, I feel so helpless about abortion. Why can't I help them in some lasting way. Of course all I can do is try to make people more aware about what this is doing to our country and our world. But abortion isn't the only ravaging disease that our country is experiencing right now. Euthanasia is also a big problem. I just recently made a t-shirt picture for the Benedictine College Ravens Respect Life. It was a contest. They were going to wear the t-shirt to the 2011 march for life. (my entry is shown to the left) The problem was that most of the t-shirt designs, while really great, showing the abortion issue, completely ignored the issue of euthanasia. This was my problem. I realized that people usually ignore this side of the spectrum, but really it's almost just as important, and just as prevalent. Therefore, we must not just look out for the unborn who can't speak for themselves, but also the elderly and infirm who also can't speak for themselves, or who have unfit judgement.
