I
salute the Knights of Columbus
for their clear, truly Catholic
(and Christian), pro-life stand.
Likewise, it is vital for CFC-FFL
members, whose being pro-life
is an inherent element of their
identity, to commit to protect
life. This certainly includes
its political choices.
God
bless.

Unborn
Baby's Heartbeat Prompts Pro-life
Vote
NEW HAVEN, Connecticut, OCT. 2,
2008 (Zenit.org).- A Knights of
Columbus radio spot running in
many U.S. markets until the Nov.
4 elections encourages citizens
to listen to the heartbeat of
a 10-week-old unborn baby and
vote pro-life.
The
30-second spot is running in
more than a dozen states. The
ad features the sound of a baby's
heartbeat at 10 weeks, and the
voice of a woman saying, "Listening
to this makes me wonder: Why
would anyone question that her
life has begun?" It concludes
with the words, "Vote your
heart. Vote pro-life."
Supreme
Knight Carl Anderson announced
the beginning of the ad campaign.
"The fact that the child
whose heartbeat we hear is alive
is simply a matter of science,"
he said. "We believe that
it is vital that America's pro-life
community make it clear that
they will reserve their votes
for candidates of either party
who are committed to protecting
life from conception to natural
death."
A
similar ad is planned for broadcast
in Canada, where general elections
are set for Oct. 14.
