Small Victories

I haven't had anything much to say on my topic for a short time. Now I have two small victories to share. Both have to do with overcoming abortion.

The first is about a former director of my nemesis, Planned Parenthood. As usual, I will remain silent on exactly what I think of PP, in an effort to stay charitable. But, a former employee for eight years, a director for two years no less, has left the building! She saw an abortion on ultrasound. She just had to stop helping the abortion industry anymore! She left PP and is now working with Human Life International. And to see further the ridiculousness of PP. They filed an injunction against her. For exactly what, no one knows. But they say they have to "protect their staff." Protect them from what? Me thinks that doth protest too much...

The other victory is over a nun. Yes, sadly, you read that right. It is a victory over a nun for overcoming abortion. This woman, I hesitate strongly in using the affectionate term 'sister' when referring to her, but this woman was working as an escort at an abortion clinic! She was "shielding the clinic's clients from protesters." She had been doing this for years and her order has just let her. Leaving out that it is a complete violation of canon law to assist in abortion while remaining a member of a religious order, she also caused scandal just by being there and being a nun.

Thankfully she is one of those "spirit of Vatican II" nuns and so is on her way out either way. You know the ones. They don't wear habits. They don't like being women. They would rather be priests than nuns. And they don't like anything remotely Catholic. But for whatever reason, she has finally ceased her behavior. Thank God. Protecting women from protesters at an abortion clinic is akin to shielding toddlers from butterflies. The toddlers (and women) are capable of far more damage than the butterflies (or protesters.) Both the women and the toddlers need to be told, "gentle," a lot, ...until they get it.
