Father Maassen's Message - 08/25/24

  This week, the Missouri Secretary of State announced that the proposed constitutional amendment to enshrine a so-called “right to reproductive freedom” had received enough signatures to qualify for the November general election ballot. According to the Secretary of State’s office, Amendment 3 would “prohibit any regulation of abortion, including regulations designed to protect women undergoing abortions and prohibit any civil or criminal recourse against anyone who performs an abortion and hurts or kills the pregnant woman.” 
  In a press release, the MCC called the measure “an extreme constitutional amendment that legalizes abortion at any stage of the pregnancy with no protections for the preborn child, even when the child is capable of feeling pain,” including safety requirements for abortion clinics, requiring that abortions be performed only by a physician, and parental consent requirements.
  We have an absolute responsibility to defeat this amendment.  This fight is not just about Christians doing the absolute right thing; protecting the unborn child is a human rights issue.  Some atheists clearly understand that abortion is murder.
In Jesus Christ, 
Father Maassen
