Please conatct me we have a mssion for God to do!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The issue of religious liberty is one of those foundational principles that aren’t really up for revision. Among them is the Christian doctrine opposing Abortion. It is a basic part of Christian teachings about the sanctity of life. It is our duty as religious voters of Minnesota to stand up for our fundamental principles concerning the sanctity of life; especially when it comes to lives of the unborn.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This email is send to you as part of a blitz of Pro-Life Political Advertisements aimed at the removal of Pro-Abortion Senator Klobuchar in the DFL Primaries next August 14; starting in 18 Minnesota Online Newspapers next 3 weeks to coincide with the beginning of Lent, Jesus’ victory over Death.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are calling our campaign “A Crusade for Life” which we hope will help the unborn babies of America also celebrate a victory over death.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are asking you to use your vote only on August 14 for Jack “Doc” Shepard; in the DFL Minnesota U.S. Senate Primary; who is the only candidate who can real remove Sen. Klobuchar from the Minnesota U.S. Senate Race to deliver a Big Damaging Blow to the Billion Dollar Abortion Industry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If we are successful and your vote for Jack “Doc” Shepard on August 14; removes Sen. Klobuchar from the Minnesota Senate Race we will be sending a very Positive Pro-Life signal to all Pro-Abortion Candidates throughout America if you don’t respect the Sanctity of Human life; you will suffer the consequences by not being re-elected.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then in on November 6 without Sen. Klobuchar’s name on the General Election Ballot, Minnesota Voters will be able to elect the Pro-life Conservative Senate candidate of your choice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Doc Shepard for Senate, change is good for Minnesota Committee&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;85% of Pro-Life Conservative Voters normally don’t vote in Primaries!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If only 1/3 of you just come out and vote for Jack “Doc” Shepard on Aug. 14 in DFL Primary, you will easily eliminate Sen. Klobuchar. Only if you remove Sen. Klobuchar in the DFL primary can you elect a New Pro-Life Conservative Senator on Nov. 6!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We can do it. Get out an vote.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Doc Shepard&lt;/p&gt;

But walking 10 or 15 miles with not much preparation time would be intimidating for most.  But if you set it up in sections so that people could select a section that they think they could handle, they could arrange to have a car parked at a distance most convenient.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But that would increase the need for volunteers to manage the walk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Traffic would be a major problem.  It would be great that if we stick to parkways if at all possible.  Start Northeast Mpls, and their churches, for example, then over to the River Road, then cross the Mississippi at Lake/Marshall, then figure out a way to get up to Como Park, the crown jewel of St. Paul's parks, and then on to the Cathedral/Capitol.  &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Ray Marshall</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:11:26 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: A baby is saved from abortion during Good Friday prayer vigil!</title><link>http://catholichotdish.com/embracing-life/a-baby-is-saved-from-abortion-during-good-friday-prayer-vigil/#comment-507844379</link><description>&lt;p&gt;This quote echoes what Bl.

&lt;p&gt;By preventing the act of co-creation through the use of any form of contraception, we are marring our inherited likeness to God and, by so doing, we are separating ourselves from our Creator, who is the Author of Life. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, let me also say that many women (perhaps the vast majority of us) would have no trouble at all doing away with contraception if men knew the meaning of the word "Abstinence" and use it, without losing their marbles.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Women all too often find themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place, and I personally believe that God regards us women with great compassion and a deep understanding of what we go through.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris Mcals</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:51:23 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: A baby is saved from abortion during Good Friday prayer vigil!</title><link>http://catholichotdish.com/embracing-life/a-baby-is-saved-from-abortion-during-good-friday-prayer-vigil/#comment-506876904</link><description>&lt;p&gt;This was a wonderful story, but it now leads me to wonder about the rest of the baby's life.  Will this child be adopted?  Probably not in today's climate, but if so, will the Church follow through on its pro life stance?  As an institution that promotes adoption as a loving option to abortion,  one would certainly expect a lifelong advocacy from the Church.  However, my own experience has been quite different. In Minnesota, adoptees lost the right of access to their own birth certificates in 1945.  Unfortunately, this has had a huge impact on decades of adopted persons, who have been, and are still, systematically denied access to the one tool that could be most critical in helping us and our health care providers nurture and care for our lives as we age.   So, as an over-65 year old adoptee, I cannot help but wonder why I was good enough to save as an infant, but now, as I develop more medical issues, am denied a critical tool that would help me and my health care providers nurture this life.   Catholic Charities continues to maintain a  "neutral" stance on legislation which would restore the right to access to birth certificates to adopted adults.  If my beloved Church is pro life, then I ask again, how can She remain neutral on this issue? &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Gretchen Traylor</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:19:20 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: A baby is saved from abortion during Good Friday prayer vigil!</title><link>http://catholichotdish.com/embracing-life/a-baby-is-saved-from-abortion-during-good-friday-prayer-vigil/#comment-506334361</link><description>&lt;p&gt;"These mothers who have an appointment at Planned Parenthood on Good Friday are between the Lord on one side and the Devil on the other." &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think you are mistaking the message of Good Friday. "The curtain was torn" freeing us from our lives of sin and giving those that followed Jesus the gift of grace.  This grace is not deserved but is given regardless, so that we can "judge not, lest ye be judged." &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">mjb881</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 22 Apr 2012 16:51:50 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: A baby is saved from abortion during Good Friday prayer vigil!</title><link>http://catholichotdish.com/embracing-life/a-baby-is-saved-from-abortion-during-good-friday-prayer-vigil/#comment-504939932</link><description>&lt;p&gt;"But those running it were not content with that number, so they built a bigger and grander facility, which opened last December."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please point me to what information you're basing this statement on. Could it be possible that PP opened a larger facility for reasons other than to increase the number of abortions they provide? They do offer other services there, too. I can vouch for that as a man who regularly utilizes PP to receive medical care.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Perhaps it would be prudent to wait until statistics are released next year to confirm whether, in fact, the number of abortions provided at the new facility increased.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">dpd2113</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 20 Apr 2012 23:26:36 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: New Planned Parenthood in St. Paul Opens Today</title><link>http://catholichotdish.com/embracing-life/new-planned-parenthood-in-st-paul-opens-today/#comment-499662686</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Dear Minnesota Pro-Life Conservative Voters:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The issue of religious liberty is one of those foundational principles that aren’t really up for revision. Among them is the Christian doctrine opposing Abortion. It is a basic part of Christian teachings about the sanctity of life. It is our duty as religious voters of Minnesota to stand up for our fundamental principles concerning the sanctity of life; especially when it comes to lives of the unborn.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This email is send to you as part of a blitz of Pro-Life Political Advertisements aimed at the removal of Pro-Abortion Senator Klobuchar in the DFL Primaries next August  14;  starting in 18 Minnesota Online Newspapers next 3 weeks to coincide with the beginning of Lent, Jesus’ victory over Death.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are calling our campaign  “A Crusade for Life” which we hope will help the unborn babies of America also celebrate a victory over death.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are asking you to use your vote only on August 14 for Jack “Doc” Shepard; in the DFL Minnesota U.S. Senate Primary; who is the only candidate who can real remove Sen. Klobuchar from the Minnesota U.S. Senate Race to deliver a Big Damaging Blow to the Billion Dollar Abortion Industry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If  we are successful and your vote for Jack “Doc” Shepard on August 14;  removes Sen. Klobuchar from the Minnesota Senate Race we will be sending a very Positive Pro-Life signal to all Pro-Abortion Candidates throughout America if you don’t respect the Sanctity of Human life; you will suffer the consequences by not being re-elected.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then in on November 6 without Sen. Klobuchar’s name on the General Election Ballot, Minnesota Voters will be able to elect the Pro-life Conservative Senate candidate of your choice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Doc Shepard for Senate, change is good for Minnesota Committee&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;85% of Pro-Life Conservative Voters normally don’t vote in Primaries!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If only 1/3 of you just come out and vote for Jack “Doc” Shepard on Aug. 14 in DFL Primary, you will easily eliminate Sen. Klobuchar. Only if you remove Sen. Klobuchar in the DFL primary can you  elect a New Pro-Life Conservative Senator on Nov. 6!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We can do it.  Get out an vote.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Doc Shepard&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;@Pro_Life_Minn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pro-life Minnesota is a Minnesota Political Movement opposing abortion; we work relentlessly to increase awareness of adoption as an alternative for abortion.&lt;/p&gt;

Join us on Sunday, June 10.  We start at 3:00 at Holy Cross, then on to St. Cyril, St. Anthony of Padua, St Boniface, St. Constantine, St. Maron, and All Saints church. The procession returns to St. Maron’s Cedars Hall for refreshments, an opportunity to socialize with fellow Catholics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A priest will lead the procession by carrying the Eucharistic Host in a traditional sunburst monstrance. Hymns will be sung along the way. A short Benediction and prayer will take place at each church. You can join the group for the entire Procession or just part of it.&lt;/p&gt;
