Remember for whom we do battle - the women in crisis who may see abortion as the only alternative to an unplanned pregnancy and the innocent child that never chose to die. It is for the soul of our country that we carry on. Without respect for the sanctity of life, the phrase, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is an empty slogan.

May almighty God, who has created new life now bless the child in your womb. The Lord has brought you the joy of motherhood: may he now bless you with a safe and healthy pregnancy. You thank the Lord today for the gift of your child: may he bring you and your child one day to share in the unending joys of heaven.
