DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

One year in prison and $2000 fine part of proposed Oakland “bubble law” designed to silence pro-lifers

"They are going to take away our rights and possibly imprison us"

EDITOR'S NOTE: California Catholic Daily today begins a three-part series about attempts by pro-abortion extremists to silence pro-lifers, and the abuse suffered by sidewalk counselors at the hands of abortion clinic "escorts." This is Part I.

The Oakland City Council is scheduled to vote Nov. 6 on a measure – considered likely to pass – that would force sidewalk counselors to stay eight feet away from all clients entering or leaving abortion clinics within a 100-foot radius of the property. Violators could face a $2,000 fine and one year's imprisonment.
