S/K C. Beattie Commanders Log I apologize for having the wrong location of this
Meeting once again Progress on the Log
Respect for Life S/K Pete Bertran Rev FR. Deacon FN Officers brothers all
If anyone had their emails changed in the past year please see me after this
Meeting The year has been eventful 2016 United States there were 926 Thousand
Abortions, NY is the abortion capital of the US with twice the national average in
NY State 2% of these abortions are late term, that means that 2000 abortions are
Late term every year. So when the GOV said it doesn’t happen it does and NY it’s
2000. That means babies are fully formed and experience pain in late term
Abortion ,having a second DR present if baby survive the abortion has been
Eliminated if the child is alive chances are it will be left to perish.
2/23/19 was a day of morning on long Island, Albany and else where this was a
Prayerful protest at the Smithtown Bypass in Front of the Denison and State Office
Buildings about 300 people showed up just to show one we are in mourning and 2
People don’t agree with what the GOV is doing in Albany. People will be registering
Their complaint and protest and they need to hear this in Albany. Although the law
Have been passed we are trying to get informed consent, informed consent will give
The mother a look at the child with a sonogram that is inside her, Tonight’s of
Columbus have financed 1000 machine throughout the country 80% of women who
Look at the Ultrasound totally have changed there minds about abortions and give
Birth, if we can get this informed consent through Albany it would be a significant
Move. Abortion are down to what they were a few years ago so we are making
Progress. The president have stop funding for any plan parent facility that
Participate in abortions. The movement 40 days for life started on Ash Wednesday
Several parishes have signed on for the program St. Patrick’s Smithtown,
St.Thomas More Hauppauge St Anthony Padua Northport St Francis in Greenlawn
And it will take place in River Head these parishes will have special holy hours
Special vigil and optional opportunities to go to an abortion center and have a
Prayerful prayer service outside that abortion center. See me after this meeting for
Information. A movie is coming in March called Unplanned it is an excellent movie
That reveal terrible thing that are happening and what abortion is all about it’s
A true story of Abby Johnson’s life. There might be a free screening I will mention
This again. 6/3/19 March for life in Albany we are taking busses to Albany to show
That lif is important to us. Thank You.
