I Place Before You Life and Death: Good Counsel Homes vs. Feminists for Choice
3/5/2010
Catholic Online
Two organizations with two different perspectives. One chooses life, the other death. They reflect the greatest challenge facing our Nation and the contemporary age.
BRONX, NY (Catholic Online) – On March 10, 2010, two contrasting events will be taking place, both offering themselves as a “solution” to an unplanned pregnancy. One leads to life and the other to death.´I Place Before You Life and Death´: Good Counsel Homes vs. ´Feminists for Choice´
First, Good Counsel Homes, will be celebrating their 25th anniversary of service. Good Counsel Homes were founded on March 10, 1985, by Father Benedict Groeschel, CFR and Christopher Bell, for homeless pregnant mothers and single mothers with babies.
Good Counsel currently has four homes as well as their post abortion ministry, Lumina/Hope & Healing after Abortion.
Over 5,500 pregnant women and children have been assisted by Good Counsel over the past twenty five years, and over 1,100 post abortive women and men.
In addition to their direct help, Good Counsel has been instrumental in assisting other maternity homes across the country, so that pregnant women in need can chose life for their children to life and receive the necessary life skills training to live independently.
In stark contrast, Feminists for Choice will also hold a major event. They will be celebrating
their annual “National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers.” We are told its purpose is to “show our support for these amazing health care professionals” who “make choice a reality.” Of course, the “choice” is to terminate the life of your child.
What a stark difference in “caring” for women. One takes you in, nurtures and houses both women and their children, and respects the Right to Life. The other asks us to celebrate an alleged “right” to abort your baby and then makes abortionists into heroes.
One has to wonder if Feminists for Choice will be showing appreciation for Kermit B. Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist who is responsible for the deaths of two women, and was also found to have the bodies of twenty five dead fetuses in his clinic. Over 40 civil lawsuits have been filed against him, while women continue to come forward with stories of botched abortions.
Two organizations with two different perspectives. One chooses life, the other chooses death. They reflect the greatest challenge facing our Nation and the contemporary age.
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!” Deuteronomy 30:19
