Letters to Gabriel, a book to read and share

I recommend to you today the book Letters to Gabriel by Karen Santorum.  I heard Rick Santorum say that he has heard from thousands of people that because of this book many people told him they decided not to abort their baby.  Here is a great way that Mrs. Santorum has thus loved unborn babies besides her own unborn Gabriel.  Below is the book description copied from amazon.com.

"Book Description

Publication Date: March 26, 2012

Foreword by Mother TeresaThis moving collection of intimate, poignant, and heart-warming letters was written by Karen Santorum to her unborn child, Gabriel Michael. During her pregnancy, Karen wrote letters to her son, never expecting that the letters would someday be published. Though her pregnancy began as normal, Karen ended up experiencing serious difficulties with her pregnancy at the same time that her husband Rick Santorum, the Republican Senator for Pennsylvania, was leading the charge against partial birth abortions in the U.S. Senate.
Letters to Gabriel is the story of Gabriel Michael's short, but meaningful life, and a tribute to the sanctity of life, the deep faith of the Santorums, and strong family values. The intimate bond between mother and child is expressed by Karen with great tenderness and love. This is a deeply moving book that will touch the heart of its readers with the beauty of the gift of life, and inspire them to share it with others."

introducing Live Action

From time to time I will introduce you to organizations and resources active in the fight for life. 

Today I would like to feature Live Action.  http://www.liveaction.org/

 Live Action was begun by the young Lila Rose in pursuit of her personal dedication to "build a culture of life and end abortion."  It is a nonprofit specializing in investigative journalism.  For example, they have sent girls into Planned Parenthood clinics around the country and posed with such issues as being underage, having been sexually abused, wanting to abort based on the baby's gender, and so on to see how the staff would react.  They tape the episode and post it online for all to see.  I recently was interested to see their Mammosham video, where they illustrate that Planned Parenthood doesn't even do mammograms, contrary to the claims of even President Obama.  http://liveaction.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=29a6cd4dfe5de029e2409972b&id=dedb075ad2&e=ae2a54cb6a
or if you want to give Obama some grace, he's the preisdent of the U.S. after all, I'm sure he doesn't have time to research whether PP actually provides mammograms - watch this one, which is by none other than PP's CEO.   http://liveaction.org/blog/planned-parenthood-ceos-false-mammogram-claim/

There you go, that's a bit about Live Action, for better or worse.  Does it make a difference in the effort to build a culture of life?  Does it help us to love the unborn babies?  Or to love the babies' mothers and fathers?  I'd love to hear your thoughts.  Leave a comment!  Thanks for visiting :)
