I am at once deeply saddened and grateful at watching this short clip. Sad, in tears in fact, because beautiful children, willed by God to exist, are killed by their parents in such a gruesome way. Grateful because of our Catholic faith that upholds the dignity of these children. Father Frank Pavone is a saint for our time and has done so much to serve and love the unborn with his life. I pray that there is an end to contraception and abortion and a new love and culture of life that treats children as incommunicable gifts instead of products to be manufactured (in vitro fertilization, surrogate motherhood, etc) or burdens (contraception--especially as it causes early abortion) --both of which are rooted in selfishness. Don't have sex if you're going to be surprised or dismayed by a pregnancy! We are not dogs or cats that need to be sterilized! We have free will--exercise it for the sake of yourself and your future children! Don't rely on your false freedom to murder your child as a way to escape responsibility for your choices! We must protect our children, not kill them in their vulnerability.
"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you."
Isaiah 49: 15
