Prolife Victories
Cardinal Maida on Prolife Politics
The reminder follows protests by prolife activists aimed at Attorney General Jennifer Granholm, the Democratic candidate for governor, who is Catholic and proabortion, reported Detroit's largest daily newspaper.
“Ultimately, there is a higher law, the law of God,” the cardinal said in a statement that was read at all Masses in the Detroit area Oct. 5 and 6.
The article also quoted Monica Migliorino Miller, a theology professor at St. Mary's College and leader of a group that has picketed Our Lady of Good Counsel Church in Plymouth, where Granholm worships. “It is reasonable to conclude that his remarks are made with Jennifer Granholm in mind,” said Migliorino Miller, “and that he seeks to blunt the effects of a scandal that [Granholm] has caused within the diocese.”
No Room for Abortions
According to the daily newspaper, local businessman Jerry Uht Jr. bought an office suite in the building formerly owned by Brigham's company, Peach Street Real Estate. Uht bought the office suite for just $2,400 after Brigham failed to pay overdue taxes on the property.
The office Uht purchased is the largest of Brigham's six suites in the building — and the likely locale of the abortion business he had hoped to open. Legal abortions have not been performed in Erie County in more than 20 years.
Stars Defend Life in Prime Time
LIFESITE DAILY NEWS, Oct. 3 — Former supermodel Kathy Ireland and Emmy-award-winning actress Patricia Heaton of “Everybody Loves Raymond” have taken their pro-life views to the TV news-show circuit.
Appearing Sept. 30 on Fox News Channel's “Hannity and Colmes,” Ireland told co-host Alan Colmes: “If you can show me evidence that the unborn is not a human being, I will gladly join the prochoice side.” Regarding the pro-abortion atmosphere in Hollywood, she said, “I know it's not a popular issue. … I have no choice but to defend the most vulnerable among us.”
On Oct. 1, Heaton told Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly that she has felt disdain at times from colleagues. “I wore a Quayle-Bush button,” she said, “and literally people would stop and look at the button, and look at me and give me dirty looks and, you know, say nasty things to me.”
