“She was born in New York into an Episcopalian family, who ostracized her and left her penniless when she became a Catholic in 1805. She had to leave New York and in 1808-9 she founded a religious community and a school for poor children at Emmitsburg, near Baltimore in Maryland. Mother Seton died in 1821 but the Sisters of Charity continue her work to this day.”

I will not vote for him. He supports the Hyde Amendment that allows for Abortions for Unborn Babies conceived from Rape, Incest and for the Health of the Mother.

All 4 Versions, of Santorum’s Partial-Birth Abortion Bans in the 108th Session of Congress had language in it, that said the Unborn Baby about to be Born is “Inches away from Viability.”

That is wrong. Viability begins at Conception.

The Catholic Church says, “Life Begins at Conception and Ends at Natural Death.”

Rick Santorum laughs when caught being a hypocrite, by calling Mitt Romney out for his compromises, but he does it too. I find that disgraceful!

An Unborn Baby’s Life, threatened by Abortion and not protected, by Our Laws, simply because he or she is deemed less, due to the Sins of Their Father, is just plain wrong. No Catholic can “compromise” when it is a matter of life or death.

No Politician has the Right to allow The Killing of an Unborn Baby “Conceived In Liberty” given to him or her by God. That Baby is Our Littlest Constituent that needs It’s Life Protected, by Our Politicians, not decided It does not deserve to live. That’s just shameful!

St Paul’s book of Romans and Humanae Vitae says, “You Cannot Do EVIL, so that good can come, from it.” So, the Lessor of Two Evils Argument cannot be used, to excuse the abuse, discrimination, torture and death of the Unborn Baby conceived, through no fault of their own, from Rape or Incest.

So, I will not vote for Rick Santorum. He is wrong on Iran, Unborn Human Life, Immigration, and he demonizes the Poor. I do not like him. I do not trust him. His own words, condemn him.

The Doxology of Holy Mass says it for me, Through Him, With Him and In Him the Unborn Baby suffers an Abortion for the Sins of his or her Father (rape or incest). And, Christ suffers, through, with and in those UNBORN BABIES who are Aborted because It was Conceived from a Crime. They were Innocent of That Crime. God Creates New Life, from such a Crime to bring “Good Out Of Evil….A New Human Life.” Yet, Catholics In Name Only, like Rick Santorum does not listen to the Bishops, on Life, Conception, War, and Immigration. He may laugh it off that he does not have any responsibility to Protect All Human Life, but, he is wrong.

No one can wash their hands of spilling innocent blood, if they could have stopped it and didn’t.

Life is a seamless garment of value, given to that Life, by God.

Santorum hasn’t shed tears over those babies who were killed by Abortion. He will face them and God on his own Particular Judgment Day.

Those Souls will finally have Justice, for their Lives cut short, by a World, that did not welcome them.

My job is to pray for his conversion and to advocate for all human life, the rest of my life.

MY UNCLE was conceived in 1904, from rape, when my Grandma was 14. She gave birth to him, raised him, and six years later became a Catholic and married my Catholic Grandpa and had 7 more kids. Both my Grandma & Uncle are now dead.

Had my Grandma have been raped in this Modern Day, she may have been tempted by the allowance of the Hyde Amendment to have aborted my uncle. Rick Santorum on January 1, 2012 said he still believes in the Hyde Amendment. He dances all around this subject to fit his “situational ethics” to fit his audience.

I don’t like Santorum the more, that I hear him speak. But, I will pray for his conversion. He discriminates against babies conceived by rape and incest, and I find his words, disgraceful!

The Gettysburg Address – Abraham Lincoln

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
November 19, 1863

On June 1, 1865, Senator Charles Sumner commented on what is now considered the most famous speech by President Abraham Lincoln. In his eulogy on the slain president, he called it a “monumental act.” He said Lincoln was mistaken that “the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here.” Rather, the Bostonian remarked, “The world noted at once what he said, and will never cease to remember it. The battle itself was less important than the speech.”

******************************************************************************

The Gettysburg Address – Abraham Lincoln

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

(I am related to this great man, President Abraham Lincoln)

Be At Peace, by Saint Francis de Sales

Be At Peace, by St Francis de Sales

Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life; rather look to them with full hope, as they arise.

You are God’s very own and God will deliver you, from out of them.

God has kept you, in the past, and God will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot bear it, God will bury you in his arms.

Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting God who cares for you today, will take care of you then and every day.

God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength, to bear it.

St. Francis de Sales
