C.J. Doyle
Executive Director
Catholic Action League of Massachusetts

Why is Cardinal Sean O'Malley enabling Boston's Catholic politicians like Mayor Marty Walsh, with praise, platforms and awards when they publicly rebuke Catholic teaching on abortion? Eight of thirteen City councilors are Catholic. In a 12-0 vote (McCarthy of Hyde Park was absent), a recent Boston City Council non binding resolution sought to request repeal of the Federal Hyde Amendment, thereby noting taxpayers should pay for abortion and make Boston a 'sanctuary city for abortion'. NARAL Pro-Choice MA. gave Marty Walsh its 2016 Man of Choice Award. While supposedly pro-life, is Cardinal O'Malley's overt actions working vigorously against the tenets of Catholicism and the pro-life movement?

Honorable Raymond Flynn
Former Mayor, City of Boston
Former Ambassador to the Vatican

Is Adult stem cell research the answer to finding real remedies, and even cures to autistic and other special needs people like former Vatican Ambassador Ray Flynn's grandson Braden? Do families with special needs children feel emotionally alienated from their own families, communities and society? What is the moral message needed for inclusiveness and respect for each other? Ray Flynn shares why God's love for everybody is so important.

Created Equal, Inc

Is Stericycle, a medical waste company, and its CEO Charles Alutto, collaborating with and enabling the abortion industry by collecting, transporting and disposing of aborted children and the instruments used to kill them? If abortion providers like Planned Parenthood cannot dispose of its medical waste, aka dismembered victims of abortion, could the abortion industry be effectively shut down? Was the voluntary dismissal of all claims against Created Equal and Mark Harrington's a victory for babies in the womb and for free speech?
And what role do graphic pictures of aborted babies play in convincing the public it's intrinsically evil?

James E. Dixon
The Common Man
Reflecting upon the Sexual Revolution

The Common Man on the street, afloat at sea, and in the air reflects upon growing up during the 1960s and 1970s sexual revolution. How did contraception and abortion change the relationship between man and woman? With divorce all too common, is marriage nowadays mere ownership of another or the gifting of oneself to another? Are children protected in the pandemic of the 'shacking up' culture? STDs and STIs have proliferated dramatically, along with increased infertility. Has the sexual revolution been good or bad for our American society?

Duke University Medical Center

On the front lines of cultural conflict, what are moral and ethical issues faced by OB/GYN medical doctors?
the advent of three parent technology with Mitochondrial manipulation aka 'Mitochondrial Nuclear Transfer; pressuring medical student interns to learn how to do abortions; the excessive profiteering of In Vitro Fertilization at $15,000 to $25,000 per menstrual cycle; OB/GYN ' intervention to save the mother's life in hard pregnancy cases; 'Snow flake Babies' where embryo adoption versus embryo trafficking for couples having trouble conceiving; and the moral/ethical questions for medical students considering obstetrics and gynecology as their career path specialty?

Honorable David J. Weldon, M.D.
Former U.S. Congressman
Republican FL 15th District
1995 - 2009

In 2014, the Insurance Commissioner of California willfully violated the Weldon Amendment, which affirms the right of conscience for health care workers, such as doctors and nurses, and health care entities like clinics, medical centers, hospitals and health insurance companies. The Obama administration, using specious Orwellian reasoning affirmed Federal funding for California in direct contradiction to the Federal statute. Can other states now disregard the Weldon amendment? And what impact has this brazen ploy had on the health care industry?

How can we change the culture in the church to deal with the secret sin of abortion? What are tangible ways for pastors to broach the subject from the pulpit and one on one? After all, 54 to 70% of those who have had an abortion in America identify with the Christian faith.

Much like the Dred Scott decision where Negroes were considered 'inferior' human beings, are embryos considered 'inferior' human beings by science and biotechnology? While some say 'you cannot legislate morality', should scientists be able to trample moral right and wrong by specious reasoning of 'If we can do unbridled research, why not'? Will biotechnology profoundly affect our society in the future?

Rev. Eugene F. Rivers III
Founder & Director
The Seymour Institute

Abortion is the leading cause of death among blacks, especially in American cities. Rev. Rivers sees opportunities for major mobilization by blacks to flip the narrative and go on the offensive in our pop culture by messaging to millennials, 18 to 40 year olds, that 'in the womb, black lives matter'. He envisions black Pentacostals joining with Catholics because ultimately, there must be 'justice for the unborn'. Also, Rev. Rivers remarks about Bernard Cardinal Law.

Citizens Commission on Human Rights

Part 2

So what's with the pandemic epidemic of psychotic drugs being given by the psychiatry profession to children as young as two years old. Now drug combo cocktails are prevalent too. False claims of improvement, clinical trial fraud, and false marketing by drug companies has resulted in a halt on new psychotic drugs. However, now there's a rise in electric shock treatment. The FDA is pushing to de-regulate shock devices. Is any of this good for our infants, toddlers, children. teenagers and society?

David A. Wemhoff, J.D.
Author
John C. Murray, Time/Life and the American Proposition

Was Thomas Paine's treatise 'Common Sense' in January 1776 the catalyst in elevating Natural Law over Divine Positive Law? Has Catholicism taken a back seat to the 'American Way'? Pope Leo in 1899 decried heretical 'Liberalism' of American idealogy. Did Jesuit priest John C. Murray, concomitant with Henry Luce of Time/Life publishing affect how the Catholic church accommodated the 'American Way' of individualism? Does this individualism result in those desiring an abortion being justified? And how is religious freedom affected in America and around the world?

UC San Francisco and Bixby funded studies, such as the 'Turnaway Study', claim: denial of an abortion is bad for women; women are happier after their abortion: healthier; financially better off in the long run; and creates less post abortive violence. Dr. Randall O'Bannon disagrees and asserts the same abortion friendly authors engage in sloppy science to reach their well funded, pre-determined conclusions. Rutgers study examined also. How do pro-lifers fight back against specious studies that reach the wrong conclusions?

Since the early 1990s up to today, are those who are pro-life in the health care profession being pushed out? How did the Budget Reconciliation Act of 1991 affect doctors and nurses? Do hospitals' futility policy and ethics committees in effect, overrule the patient and thereby reject the Hippocratic Oath between a doctor and patient?
How did Medical Associations ''position of neutrality' lead to the prevailing thought that elderly and infirm 'shouldn't be a burden to others'? Have the conscience rights across the entire spectrum of doctors and nurses been eviscerated by the nebulous concept of 'patient autonomy? In Part 2, Nancy Valko imparts her perspicacious insights.

National Association of Pro Life Nurses

How has abortion and euthanasia changed the nursing profession over the past 47 years? In the 1960s, medical ethics wasn't even a course! Chicago attorney Louis Kutner's 'Living Will' actually hastened a patient's death. In 1982, the 'Baby Doe' judicial decision further exacerbated the denouement of the health care profession. And how does the major media and the 'Right to Die' movement affect nurses, doctors and health institutions?

Abortion, the direct killing of an innocent human being, is always gravely immoral (The Gospel of Life, no. 57); its victims are the most vulnerable and defenseless members of the human family. It is imperative that those who are called to serve the least among us give urgent attention and priority to this issue of justice.
