A short guest commentary from HLI's Tim Ratigan:
Think about this for a moment. Time and time again you hear from Pro-abort people that what they really want is “fewer abortions”. Last year that is all we heard from politicians. And yet these people who claim to want fewer abortions consistently oppose legislation from being passed that will do precisely that. Legislation such as informed consent and mandatory ultrasounds and waiting periods. You will also find that these same people that claim to want fewer abortions will also support laws that will increase tax dollars to abortions and in the end increase the number of abortions, such as tax payer money going to pay for abortions, and blocking parental consent and notification laws. So the question remains, what is their game? Either they want to reduce the number abortions or they are simply using words to get our votes and in actuality they do not want the number to go down.

Seminarians for Life International
The goal of the Seminarians for Life blog is to give seminarians a regular feed on life issues. As a newly-ordained priest, I am trying to fill in the many blanks that might have been helpful when I was in seminary. I'll also post updates on my travels to seminaries around the states and the world. I hope you enjoy it.

Saints speak
If you have too much to do, with God's help you will find time to do it all. - Saint Peter Canisius
If I were worthy of such a favor from my God, I would ask that he grant me this one miracle: that by His grace He would make of me a good man. - Saint Ansgar
In giving us His Son, His only Word, He spoke everything to us at once in this sole Word -- and He has no more to say...because what he spoke before to the prophets in parts, he has now spoken all at once by giving us the All Who is His Son. - Saint John of the Cross
It is not man that causes the things offered to become the Body and Blood of Christ, but He who was crucified for us, Christ Himself. The priest, in the role of Christ, pronounces these words, but their Power and Grace are God's. This is my body, He says. This word transforms the things offered. - Saint John Chrysostom
