He said that life begins "when male and female meet and embrace." "Morality," he continued, "is the love between hus- band and wife, parent and child, extended outward to the world." A society in which sanc- tity of life is respected is a society that appreciates that we are all part of some- thing larger than ourselves. When we lose this awe, this appreciation for the sacred, we disconnect from one an- other and disappear into our separate selves. Love, marriage, children and our future begin to re- cede. It's a spiritual tragedy with profound and destruc- tive practical implications for society. The Census Bureau proj- ects that in 2035, for the first time, the number of Ameri- cans over the age of 65 will exceed the number of Amer- icans under 18. As society ages, the num- ber of retirees per each working American increas- es — what is called the de- pendency ratio. We are already seeing the implications with huge deficits in our social securi- ty and Medicare programs, where payroll taxes finance retirement and health care costs of the elderly. A healthy pushback is starting to occur at the na- tion's grassroots. States are getting aggres- sive to stop the destructive abortion culture. Most re- cently, Alabama and Geor- gia have enacted laws mak- ing abortion that is legal un- der federal law illegal in the state. This puts state law on a collision course with feder- al law. Whether this will wind up at the Supreme Court with a revisiting of the Roe v. Wade decision remains to be seen. We should be praying it will happen. The current abortion cul- ture that has been defin- ing America since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 is part and symptomatic of an America whose future is in danger. We must fight for restora- tion of a pro-life culture in our country that respects the sanctity of life and will restore the American fami- ly, children and our future.

Continued from page 8 ABORTION 102 state parties around the world, so the United States should follow up by pulling all U.S. funding from the treaty. Plus, notes Mr. Bromund, there are other bad trea- ties out there like the Arms Trade Treaty. It's time to quit them as well — and work to ensure we never get to this point again.

My aim is not at the abor- tionists, Planned Parent- hood, or the right to choose advocates. My issue is with the Church, which has sat on the sideline divided by culture and modern science demanding that people have a right to choose. Those unaffiliated with Christ abortion is their is- sue, but the Church's po- sition historically is to em- brace life. And there remains the argument. Do you embrace life? Think about it! Continued from page 8 DISCUSSION Continued from page 8 MUSICALS dle. I'd say total time was 45 minutes of performance. The role of my grand daughter was to be with a group of ballerinas do- ing stretching and danc- ing and singing. They all did a superb job consider- ing they had no previous experience as lengthy and as challenging as this. The two lead singers: a boy and a girl were amazingly good because I did not detect any hesitation or mistake or shy- ness on their part. I thought to myself, where did this tal- ent come from! I also said to myself, this is better than watching T V or going to a movie or being out somewhere like the out- doors where the pesky flies would bite you. Oh how I wished the program could last a little longer but you know these kids get tired and have to do homework and wake up the following day for school. A hint for those who want wholesome entertainment, go make it a point to watch for those musicals offered by different schools. They are mostly free or if ever they charge, it is less than spend- ing for a movie plus popcorn plus drinks. Nothing against supporting movie theaters. But you know how it goes, anymore going to the mov- ies cost an arm and a leg and then sometimes or most times, the movies produced by the movie industry no longer have the quality or innocence we used to see. A fter watching movies the past few years and ex- cept for those with faith based themes,I come out from the theater with an ear- ache from the loud audios and an unpleasant unex- plainable feeling. Especially if the movie is peppered with a lot of unprintable speech. Or have bizarre hard to fol- low themes. Anyway, that's my personal opinion. • • • It seems Rose and I are beginning to really enjoy our big family. We are now blessed with 10 grandkids and soon to be 11. When the grandkids get together, it is so much fun to watch them play, run, shriek, eat, make a mess, talk , break things, lose things, go hide and seek, and chase the out- door cats to pet them. I forgot to tell sometimes they also do wrestle and play tricks against on oth- er. When they all leave, we're partly wore out, re- lieved, sad, happy, and long for some peace and quiet. A long nap is such a welcome relief before we attempt to clean up the mess and be ready for the next round of happy invasion. Of course I always take pictures and videos every chance I can get for future entertainment and maybe for leverage if they don't behave. I can tell more stories but that'll be for next time. Have a great week! . Wisdom of the week: Children are a gift from God. We must love them and set a good example for their future lives. For what the children see, they usu- ally follow.
