Save the Babies

10/9/2008
Homily for Respect Life Sunday

By Father Ray Ryland, Ph.D., J.D.

Our nation was horrified—and still is horrified—that on September 11, 2001, terrorists killed more than 3,000 people. We call it the worst act of terrorism in our history and in all of modern history.

Yet on that same day far worse acts of terrorism occurred.

On September 11, 2001, more than 3,000 babies were murdered in this country. Not a single word of it was reported in the secular media. And that’s not all.

Go back to January 23, 1973, to the most infamous decision ever rendered by the U.S. Supreme Court, Roe v. Wade. On each of 10,000 days before September 11, 2001, thousands of babies were murdered.

The slaughter didn’t stop on Sept. 11, 2001.

On each of 2,575 days since Sept. 11, 2001, to the present, 4,000 more babies were murdered.

According to the National Right to Life organization, since January 22, 1973 almost 36 years ago, 48.5 million babies have been murdered. And that does not count the millions of babies killed by oral contraceptives that contain an abortifacient—as all oral contraceptives do.

And the slaughter goes on: Where’s the outrage?

From Our Founder

From time immemorial Catholic children have had the door opened to their first “sex lesson” by the holy words: “. . . and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.” And from time immemorial Catholic children have been given “Christian concepts on sex” through instructions on the Sixth and Ninth Commandments. Something completely and fundamentally different appears with detailed and explicit lessons provided in classroom sex education. Such lessons often include information scandalous to children. CUF does take a strict position in opposition to all such instructions in the classrooms.
