Speaking of her husband, Michelle Obama said: “He’ll protect a woman’s freedom of choice, because government should have no say in whether or when a woman embraces the sacred responsibility of parenthood.”
I am getting frustrated by "Pro-Choicers", (especially women) who seem to be COMPLETELY missing the point. The pro-life movement is not an attempt to attack women's freedom, or make doctors' criminals. We are pro-life because we are pro-women and pro-doctors. And yes Mrs. Obama, I agree that a woman should have the right to decide whether or not she is ready to parent. Practicing abstainence is a very respectful and effective way to live out this decision, requiring no government intervention whatsoever...
As pro-lifers are not trying to create a bunch of rules, we are trying to create FREEDOM for our world. We want to give future generations the freedom and the right to LIVE. I know that I am preaching to the choir, but it completely blows my mind how these simple facts seem to be so distorted.
On a more positive note, McCain has chosen Alaskan senator Sarah Palin as his running mate. She is a mother of 5, (her youngest even has downs!), and I found the following quote from her:
“I am pro-life and I believe that marriage should only be between and man and a woman.”
Could this mother and politician actually provide a strong and beautiful female role model for our nation and world?

Welcome!
To our readers,
Welcome! Thank you for visiting our blog. We would like to introduce ourselves and express our hopes and inspirations for this blog.
We are a group of (eight) young, Catholic women. Although most of us grew up Catholic, we each found our way to the fullness of the faith in different ways and at various times in our lives. Despite our unique stories, our common heavenly goal has brought us together to form deep and supportive friendships, as we walk with Jesus Christ.
Being young adults, we are all encountering various crossroads during this transitional time in our lives. We are no longer guided by parents and school credits, but are now facing "Real-World" decisions. These challenges are constantly helping us grow in our love for our Lord and His Church, as we let Our Creator guide our lives. Although some of us are mothers, wives, teachers and some of us are still discerning vocations, we are all focused on our ultimate calling in life: to Love. With Love, we can give glory to God, and live out true beauty and femininity.
We hope that this blog will inspire and encourage other women from all over, in the way our friendship has helped us.
May God bless you and Mary keep you!
