www.byzcath.org Forums Faith & Christian Life Faith & Theology Abortion Videos

I actually have two colleagues who had had the "procedure" and who changed their opinions and sought forgiveness after seeing ads depicting how partial birth abortion works. Sometimes even educated people intellectualize something grisly and do it because they see it as expedient.

It's funny to me that you can see every kind of surgery performed on television except abortion-- the most common one.

God bless,

I appreciate Ray trying to bring this onto the forum, as I think it's a great resource!

I didn't know there are movie clips like that out there. Now I can use them to show my friends.

So, thank you, Ray, for doing your part to be an active Pro-Life person.

I don't understand people like Pavel would make such comments that he made. And quite frankly, I didn't like to have to read what he had to say. It's sounds too pro-abort-ish.

I watched part of the video but had to stop because I was crying too much.

This resource has help me to understand the urgent need for prayer for life.

Pope John Paul II pray for life.

I don't think we're enraged enough over this. I think that it has been legal in this country longer than I've been alive and people are used to it, even those of us who are totally enraged that this goes on!

I can find good quality resources as can others to use to do a presentation on this topic should I be speaking on it. I have heard the story of women who have had abortions first hand. It is a privelege to be disclosed to. It is truly an evil in our societies and need to be fought evey inch of the way.

What would be more appropriate would be sharing what you diocese/eparchy is doing to support women contemplating an abortion in real terms. What practical supports are being provided $$$? Share what you are doing in organising housing, emotional support, ongoing supports, visits to the doctor etc etc. Now that would be a valuable resource to share here.

I can see a huge number of valid applications in quoting St. Nilus here (by the way St. Nilus prophesied in the 4th/5th century).

"Christian pastors, bishops, and priests will become vain men, completely failing to distinguish the right hand way from the left."

For instance, why hasn't Teddy Kennedy been ex-communicated publicly formally for his absolute constant public support of legislation to make abortion as wide-spread as possible?

And a further word on the validity of quoting prophecy, although it bothers those who would rather have busy work to keep them occupied and not have to worry; what prophecy does is make us realize that the Judge of all is coming and He will brook no excuses.

Matthew 25:
v.41 Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty and you gave me not to drink.
43 I was a stranger and you took me not in: naked and you covered me not: sick and in prison and you did not visit me.
44 Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to thee?
45 Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen: I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.
46 And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.

Wow, those videos are powerful. Thanks for sharing, Ray. Most of my family is "pro-choice", so these videos may come in handy.
