This coming Sunday, January 14 in Silver Spring Maryland, two leaders of the fight against the proposed "Reproductive Freedom" amendment in Maryland: Deborah Brocato of Health Not Harm MD and Sheila Wharam of Memorares for Maryland. I touched upon these organizations in the post from two days ago. Below is the flyer. It is downloadable, so please use it to invite others. Thanks.
Two months ago I made mention of a proposed amendment to the Maryland state constitution that, if passed, will enshrine a legal right to murder babies in the constitution. While there is a prayer effort afoot called Memorares for Maryland, we know we need tangible, practical action to combat this threat.
Therefore I was delighted to learn of the existence of Health Not Harm MD. This organization was created for the express purpose of combatting this insidious amendment to the constitution of Maryland. I urge one and all, especially Maryland residents, to get on board with this group and to be prepared to participate in its efforts. Sign up for their alerts and follow their social media pages.
Do so now. The election is less than one year away.
As most people know by now, Ohio took a dark turn yesterday as they voted to enshrine in their state constitution legal permission to slaughter helpless babies. What many Marylanders don't know is that a similar measure will be on the Maryland ballot in November 2024. Such a measure, should it pass, would render impossible any attempt to limit, let alone eliminate, abortion in Maryland. Maryland would become even more the abortion mecca that it already is.
Prayer and hard work - starting now - is of paramount importance. That is why I highly endorse the efforts of some Maryland Catholics to ask Our Lady's intercession. To that end, they have devised a website called Memorares for Maryland. They are asking Catholics (Marylanders and beyond) to commit to praying three Memorares per day for the intention of keeping the so-called "right to abortion" out of the Maryland state constitution.
I now copy and paste below some more explanation of just what is at stake.
The amendment’s title is
“Declaration of Rights – Right to Reproductive Freedom”.
This
undefined “right to reproductive freedom” is described as fundamental,
as a central component of one’s rights to liberty and equality*.
Wow! Better not get in the way of that undefined right!
Let’s think of what people could claim is allowed by this fundamental but
undefined and entirely subjective right of reproductive freedom:
Polygamy, pornography, prostitution, pederasty, pedophilia, puberty blocking, parental blocking, perverted practices, public fornication, genital mutilation, transvestism, corruption of children, opposite sex hormones, uteruses implanted in men.
Unchecked, undefined, entirely subjective reproductive freedom can/will
facilitate sexual depravity or sexual insanity.
Please spread the word of both this proposed amendment and this worthy prayer effort. As I learn of other actions in which to engage, I will post the details.
