Life is a precious gift from God.
In 1975 U.S. Catholic Bishops approved the Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities in order to activate the entire Church in Pro-Life Activities. This plan is a four-pronged defense of human life—education, pastoral care, public policy, and prayer.
Respect Life activities focus on the gift of life from the moment of conception to natural death.

MOM WAS GOING TO ABORT ME TODAY
by Melissa Thompson LPN, Ultrasound Technician
My mom was going to abort me today
I felt her surge of adrenaline
My heart raced
My body jumped
I didn’t fee very good
She went to Emergency Pregnancy Services
Her pocket was full of money
My mom was going to abort me today
She cried with a counselor and
I bobbed in the waves of her womb
I felt all of her sadness
She said it was already too hard with five children at home
She said my dad is very mean
My mom cries a lot
My mom was going to abort me today
Until
Until she saw my hazy gray body
I put on the performance of a lifetime
I squirmed
I wiggled
I turned, twisted, and flipped
I curled my toes then convinced her to paint my room blue
I s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out my fingers and waved
“Hi Mom”
She cried and I bobbed in the waves of OUR womb
My mom decided to keep me today
My heart raced
My body jumped
I felt her happiness
I giggle with her
I felt great
My MOM decided to keep me today
This is a true story inspired by a 15-week fetus through ultrasound on February 11. 2003
