What are some of your spiritual practices that our readers might be interested in? I think for all of us the life of prayer is essential. I mean, it is deepening our intimacy with Our Lord. In investigative work, you know: St. Michael the Archangel, St. Raphael, St. Gabriel, Archangel of America, St. Joan, St. Joseph, St. So just calling on the council of saints, calling on Our Lady, calling on the archangels and the angels, and just asking for inspiration from the Holy Spirit, and then just, you know, plowing through.
Because I think sometimes we get a burst of passion to really live a good plan of life and make it an hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament and things like that. So despite the busyness of life, and then the life of a Catholic really active in their apostolate, life can get crazy.
What would you say to someone, a young person — male or female — where this is their first March for Life. What would you say to them as a veteran in the pro-life movement? Be open to learning more. Be open to being inspired. Be open to becoming more committed, and let this be an encouragement and inspiration point for you, because it will be; it can only be. We need you speaking out the truth whenever you have an opportunity — activism on your campus; passing out [literature]; doing displays or having speakers come or hosting debates — anything.
We need you every day, not just today. Do you find a kind of wisdom and so forth from different generations here? We are standing on the shoulders. We can also learn from the advice that they have for us: about the things that they did; that they would have done differently or the way that they persevered through trials.
So this is going to be a great year. Our Facebook page is at a quarter million right now, and it grows every day. We have one of the leading blogs; we just had , unique visitors last month; it grows every month.
We have a team of 60 bloggers who are writing for us. Election — a big election. But I think that we need heroes right now; meaning people who are willing to, in a way, take on little martyrdoms for our cause. And I want to see that in our president; I want to see that in our legislators; I want to see that in our Senate. Hope House and The Grabriel Project. This is the 4th year we have used Ambassador for booking our banquet speaker. Service is always great!

But even in a situation of a miscarriage, I still consider that my son or daughter. And I would have felt that I needed to grieve him or her. Also, I was so excited to share the news. I wonder how the experience of getting pregnant has changed, or opened new horizons on, your thinking about pregnancy and abortion.
But being pregnant myself just affirms how important that is to me. That reaffirms how important it is to make these resources available to women experiencing pregnancy, to not just provide physical resources but emotional support and other forms of community support to women. Pregnancy can be a roller coaster emotionally. It can be taxing physically. Green: You tweeted about having your seven-week ultrasound and getting a lot of inquiries from a doctor about tests that could potentially detect abnormalities.
What happened, exactly? Rose: My husband and I had been looking for a pro-life doctor. We had just moved to Los Angeles, and we were given some recommendations. In some high-risk situations, if you are predisposed because of your family background, it would help to understand what disability your baby may have so you can be better prepared to care for that baby. Or there are treatments you can do, potentially, in utero.
But she already knew our genetic history. What would they be used for? To have that presented to me and my husband was painful. I would prefer a percent pro-life doctor. They can be hard to find, but they exist. One that is not going to kill a child just because they are seen as less than perfect. Green: Having had the ultrasound at seven weeks, and then at 11 weeks—has that changed your understanding of what it might be like to get bad news?
Like, if you were a mom, and you found out there was a strong likelihood that your child would have Tay-Sachs—has living through those moments in pregnancy changed your level of empathy for what that experience might be like?
But I do feel even more strength, being pregnant, that I want to do whatever I can to protect my baby. No matter what challenge he or she may be facing, I want to face it with them and for them, as much as I can. So I think it makes it even more visceral for me, that sense of protectiveness that I feel. Rose: If anything, it strengthens my complete opposition to seeing a less-than-healthy baby as less than precious.
Abortion is not a medical treatment. It just kills. If my child were to face a life-threatening diagnosis or some sort of disability, my child deserves just as much love from me and my husband. And I hope that our society can be one of compassion and love and advocacy, as opposed to believing it would be better that you died, which is, unfortunately, the way a lot of our health-care system is set up right now for babies before birth.
Often a baby like that can die during delivery or minutes after birth. That is flat-out wrong.
