Let us pray that our Members of Parliament vote in favour of Roxanne's Law on December 15, 2010
Let us pray that on Dec. 15, our Members of Parliament will act with justice and compassion and vote in favour of Roxanne’s Law, a bill that would help to protect vulnerable pregnant women so that they can safely choose life for their unborn children…..we pray to the Lord
Roxanne's Law: There is still time to contact your MP
If you have not yet contacted your MP it is not too late to do so.
If you go to this link http://www.4mycanada.ca/ParliamentaryContacts.html you will find the e-mail addresses of all Canadian MP’s. You can easily Copy and paste all of them into your bcc and in an instant send e-mails to all of them asking them to support Roxanne’s Law. The vote is tomorrow, December 15th.
This is the first abortion-related bill to be voted on in Parliament in 20 years. And it would protect pregnant women who don't want abortions, thereby saving some unborn babies' lives! Catholics must become engaged in this! See Priests for Life ringing endorsement of Bill C-510 at their website p://www.priestsforlifecanada.com/English/index.php

The Pope: "Confidence and patience awaiting the good to come
Before the Angelus yesterday Pope Benedict said
"Saint James wrote about the value of perseverance and patience. They are virtues of our fathers that our now less popular in the world that exhorts change. Advent calls us instead to increase tenacity, that inner strength in the soul that enables us not to despair waiting for good that is slow to come. Saint James gives the example of the farmer."

Pro Life Mass December 11, 2010, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish
Fourth in a series of Pro Life Masses
( the Pilgrimage of Masses)
to pray for the opening of a Pro Life Medical Centre in Ottawa Ontario Canada. The proposed Centre would be staffed with pro life medical professionals. The main celebrant was His Grace Archbishop Terrence Prendergast
The Mount Carmel Choir directed by organist Irene Dooling led the music. And it was fabulous!
There was a beautiful reception following the mass which was held in the Parish Hall and was hosted by the Sisters of the Queenship of Mary.
During the reception Jennifer and Anastasia gave a wonderful presentation of the Adoption in Canada Campaign. For More Information on the adoption campaign please go to this link

As well, approximately another 30 people signed the Roxanne's Law Petition which was made available.
There has been a strong endorsement of Roxanne's law, from Catholic Church leaders
Fr. Tom Lynch and Fr. John Lemire of Priests for Life Canada (PFLC), conducted a one-hour interview with Rod Bruinooge about Roxanne's Law, which aired on Tuesday, Dec. 7. PFLC gave a ringing endorsement of Roxanne's Law (Bill C-510) and referenced Toronto Archbishop Thomas Collins' strong support for the bill. They urged all Catholics to support this bill. Priests for Life Canada is calling upon all Catholics to encourage MPs to vote in favour of the bill on Dec. 15. Roxanne's Law is the first bill related to abortion that has come to a vote in our Canadian Parliament in two decades and is probably the biggest pro Life News Story of the Year.

From LifeNews.com - Canadian Pro-Lifers: Prime Minister Should OK Free Vote on Abortion Bill
by Steven Ertelt
from http://www.lifenews.com/
In advance of a debate in parliament over a bill that would stop coerced and forced abortions on women, a pro-life group says Prime Minister Stephen Harper should reconsider his position.
Harper has said he will never reopen the abortion debate nor will he support this bill, but Peter Ryan, Executive Director of New Brunswick Right to Life, hopes he will change his mind as he did before.
“Right now the Prime Minister is saying his government – all the cabinet members, around 40 MPs I think – will oppose Roxanne’s Law even though many of them are pro-life, even though the prime minister should know better,” he said. “Why does he oppose it? Because he’s said he does not want the abortion issue to come up in Parliament.”
Ryan says he hopes Harper “has a change of heart as he did last April when he voted against a pro-abortion motion after initially indicating to his caucus that he would support it.”
The pro-life advocate says Harper doesn’t necessarily need to mount a public campaign for the bill.
“All he has to do is allow all his MPs – including cabinet members – a free vote, i.e. to vote according to their conscience. Is that too much to ask?” he said in an email. “Otherwise the bill will likely be defeated.”
Pat Maloney, writing at the National Post, agreed.
“In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the country’s abortion law. But the court did say that Parliament has the right to legislate protection of the unborn,” Maloney writes. “Even though Mr. Harper would not support such a bill, he doesn’t have to. Bill C-510 is a private member’s bill, not a government bill. The purpose of such bills is to give backbench MPs from all parties the opportunity to bring forward legislation they believe in, independent of what’s on the government’s agenda.”
“Mr. Harper would get one vote — just like any MP — and he could vote as his conscience dictates,” Maloney added. for more on this article from LifeNews click here
