MARCH FOR LIFE – 2015 Mary Lou Gartner has been our March for Life coordinator in southwestern PA for more than 40 years. She coordinates the buses, schedules meetings with our

members of Congress and stays in close contact with March for Life Headquarters so our pro-life family is the best-informed and best-equipped to fully participate in every aspect of the March. Thank you, Mary Lou!

PP “PRIVILEGE” CHALLENGED IN COURT On December 3, five local

pro-life citizens challenged

the ordinance that prevents

them from approaching the

doors of Planned Parenthood

on Liberty Ave., downtown.

Elissa Graves, the attorney

with Alliance Defending

Freedom, told the judge that the buffer zone “bans

more speech than is necessary.” Nikki Bruni stated

that the yellow arc in front of PP stops her from

having in-depth conversations with women about

alternatives to abortion. Kimberly Evert of PP said

she received complaints from patients who said they

had been assaulted or harassed.

U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon heard more

than three hours of testimony. She gave both sides

until December 19 to reach a compromise. If they

can’t, the attorneys will have 30 days to file legal

arguments before she rules.

The Pittsburgh case follows a similar case in

Boston in which the U.S. Supreme Court voted 9-0

to strike down a similar law in MA. In that case, the

Court suggested, the burden that the law imposes on

the plaintiffs in this case is significant: talking to

someone on the sidewalk and handing her a

pamphlet in the hope of convincing her not to have

an abortion is exactly the kind of speech that the

First Amendment protects.

PRO-LIFE RETREAT IN FEBRUARY PCUC invites you to set aside the weekend

of February 13-15 for a spiritual retreat at St. Emma

Retreat House in Greensburg. Private rooms, all

meals, time to pray as a group or alone, indoors or

outside on the beautiful, quiet pathways.

Time for Mass, confession, conferences.

Vespers with the Benedictine Nuns and blessed rest.

Cost: $150. Call the office if you are interested.

PRO-LIFE HEROES GO HOME

When our beloved

pro-life friends, whose

heroic, selfless actions

were crucial in saving

the lives of tiny

preborn babies, we are

sad at their dying, but

we know they will not

stop praying for an

end to abortion.

Bill Cleary’s was a

familiar face in many

rescues. From his 68th

year until he was 83

when he could have

rested from his labors,

he shouldered a new

burden. Bill, Alice

Jean Chester and Loretta Gilch frequently prayed at the

doors of Planned Parenthood. (All are in photo.)

Catherine Nedzesky died October 10. She was a

familiar face at PCUC with the gang from St. Gabriel of

the Sorrowful Virgin. For many years they came to stuff,

seal and label the PCUC newsletter before Joan Derrick

took it to the North Side Post office.

Arleigh Eddy died on November 7 in Parker,

PA. She was a strong and dedicated rescuer whose Faith

shone in her love for God’s children and compassion for

mothers, as well as the personnel at local abortion mills.

We send our love and deepest sympathy to Mark

and Linda Messineo Yurko. Their daughter, Nicole, age

29, died on November 15. Mark and Linda were part of

the rescue movement. Their prayers and sacrifices led to

the saving of precious lives.

FANTASTIC ELECTION RESULTS This report is from Mary Lou Gartner, Secretary of LIFEPAC. We are disappointed that Governor Tom Corbett lost. He was pro-life and deserved to win. But otherwise we were very, very successful. All four of our pro-life Congressmen won and won big. Congrats to Mike Kelly, Bill Shuster, Keith Rothfus and Tim Murphy.   The Pennsylvania Senate had two vacant seats and both were won by pro-lifers Pat Stefano, District 32 and Michelle Brooks, District 50. Randy Vulakovich did not have opposition and pro-life Camera Bartolotta upset Senator Tim Solobay. We have a stronger pro-life PA Senate as a result - Congrats!!   In the Pennsylvania State House all the pro-life listed incumbents won re-election. Pro-life Jason Ortitay upset pro-abort Jesse White in the 46th district. All four open seats in southwestern Pa were won by pro-lifers: Ted Nesbit, District 8; Parke Wentling, District 17; Ryan Warner, District 52 and Cris Dush in District 66. Congratulations and thanks to all the pro-life voters who made this election so successful.

SURGICAL SUCCESS WITH STEM CELLS Four years after he was paralyzed by his

wounds, Darek is now walking, thanks to the work of a

Polish surgical team led by Professor Geoffrey Raisman.

We now believe the procedure used on Mr.

Fidyka “is the breakthrough which will result in historic

change in the currently hopeless outlook for people

disabled by spinal cord injury.” Call PCUC for sources.

Sooner or later, the historic breakthroughs in ADULT

stem cell surgery will force the quacks who use our tax

money to look for cures with embryonic stem cells to

admit they have failed.

TERRIFYING NEWS?

In July NARAL (National

Abortion Rights Action League)

sent out an email saying it would

be “terrifying” if pro-life forces

took control of the Senate in

November. NARAL lamented

that Sen. Mitch McConnell

specifically promised to push legislation to ban

abortion after 20 weeks…” What Sen. McConnell

spoke about is the Pain-Capable Unborn Child

Protection Act, the law that would protect unborn

babies from the excruciating pain of an abortion

done after the baby is developed enough to feel

pain. Funny, the NARAL email didn’t mention pain.

“I DIDN’T KNOW THAT” “Why Didn’t Somebody Tell Me the Truth?” is an

MARCH FOR LIFE 2015 The March for Life is a peaceful

demonstration to share the truth about

the greatest human rights violation of

our time, legalized abortion on

demand. It continues annually as a

testament to pro-lifers’ perseverance

and strong dedication to the cause of

Life. “Every Life is a Gift” is the theme for the March for

Life on Thursday, January 22, 2015. It draws attention to

the preborn populations that are at the greatest risk for

abortion: those who receive a prenatal disability

diagnosis. Events begin with a rally on the National Mall

at noon. Then we march to the US Supreme Court to

hear testimony from women who regret their abortion.

Meetings are scheduled with our elected officials to

present petitions and requests for an end to this tragedy. In Pittsburgh our Prayer Breakfast for Life is at 10

am on Saturday, January 17, at the Comfort Inn in

RIDC Park (new location). See p. 8 for reservation

form. Our program includes a complete breakfast,

prayer, song and a homily by Rev. Dr. John Guest. On Saturday, January 17, at 6 pm, Beaver PHL will

have their Annual Respect Life Memorial Service at the

Gazebo in the Park. Program includes prayer, songs,

reading of a proclamation, lighting luminaries and a

candlelight procession to a local church with speakers,

refreshments and pro-life displays. Info at 724-728-

3235. Lawrence County PCUC will hold their “Light a

Candle for Life” Prayer Vigil on Wednesday January 21,

at 6:30 pm at Kennedy Square. They will light

luminaries followed by a Prayer Service at a local

church. Info at 724-658-8662. In Washington, DC, there will be many activities

associated with this March for Life. The Renaissance

Hotel at 999 Ninth Street NW is the new HQ where

there are displays and the Rose Dinner. More info

at www.marchforlife.org. The Archdiocese of

Washington sponsors a Mass at the Shrine of the

Immaculate Conception on Wednesday evening and on

the morning of the March. Many SW PA groups will

have services at the many chapels at the Shrine. Youth

Rallies start at 7:30 am on Thursday at the Verizon

Center and the Armory. This year another rally has been

added in Fairfax, VA.

After the March, we will “march for life” in our

home communities. Each person can make a difference

and there are many ways to be involved:

*Support and participate in 40 Days for Life

* Support local Pregnancy Support Centers

* Pray

*Train as a Sidewalk Counselor

* Start a pro-life group at your church or school

* Support pro-life public officials and candidates

GARDASIL - NOT WHAT YOU THINK Menopause…at 16. You read that

right. Maddie and Olivia Meylor will

never be able to have their own

children. Both went into “premature

ovarian failure”—a condition that

causes the ovaries to stop producing eggs. The

reason? Each girl received three Gardasil shots.

Gardasil is sold by Merck. It is touted as a

vaccine that will prevent a certain type of cancer,

but some side effects of the vaccine are dangerous,

even deadly. The Centers for Disease Control

(CDC) defends Merck, saying they “found no

reason to be concerned” about premature ovarian

failure, and they will monitor the condition.

We suggest you go to your favorite search

engine. The list of articles relating the dangers and

problems with Gardasil will knock your socks off.

ABORTION RAISES CANCER RISK BY 626%

A study by doctors based at

the All India Institute of Medical

Sciences shows that women who

get an induced abortion are 626%

more likely to have breast cancer

compared to women who carry

their pregnancy to term and have

the baby. Also, women who have

had more abortions are more likely to have cancer.

Their report, published in the INDIAN

JOURNAL OF CANCER confirms that an abortion

weakens the breast’s muscle tissue in a way that

makes it more susceptible to cancer. Source: LifeNews from New Delhi, India

NAME CHANGE Tri-City Life Center recently changed their name

to TryLife Center, but the life-affirming programs

of this agency in Lower Burrell are as strong as

ever. Need help? Go to info@tricitylife.org.

CLOSED DOORS SAVE LIVES The 5

th U.S. Circuit Court of

Appeals rules that TX strong pro-

life laws can be enforced, and

within days, 14 of the state’s 23

abortion mills are closed. The law

says abortion facilities must meet the same

standards as ambulatory surgical centers. In

Pittsburgh five of seven abortion mills closed at

passage of a similar law.

PLEASE HEED OUR MESSAGE

Bob Newman is one of the faithful men and

women who are on the sidewalk near the doors

of Planned Parenthood at 7 a.m. on Tues., Fri.

and Saturday, the days when abortions are on

the schedule at 933 Liberty Avenue. Nobody

pays them to stand there. They watch and pray

in every kind of weather. Most passers-by act as

though they are invisible. Once in a while they

hear a “God bless you.” Some comments are

downright nasty. Our friends won’t go away, no

matter what message they hear. If you would

like be a “watchman for life,” call Bob (412-

835-8127). He’d like to meet you

COMPASSION & CHOICES = COERCION

“It can’t happen

here,” has

become the

mantra of many

who do not want

to deal with impending tragedy. Sen. Daylin Leach

(SB1032) and Rep. Mark Rozzi (HB 2548)

introduced their “assisted suicide” bills. Leadership

in both houses of the PA General Assembly says the

bills will “go nowhere.” So then we can ignore

them? No way! Look at other states where the

citizenry thought “It can’t happen here.”

In CA, CO, CT, MD, MA, NJ, MT, OR, NM

and VT, C&C (Compassion & Choices) is busy

promoting right to die bills, and they won’t give up

on PA. Let your state senator and state rep know

that assisted suicide must NEVER be legal in PA.

Call the office if you need a name or number.

KENYA’S BISHOPS FIND BIG LIE

Kenya’s Catholic bishops are

charging two United Nations

organizations with sterilizing

millions of girls and women

under cover of an anti-tetanus

inoculation program sponsored

by the Kenyan government.

According to a statement released Tuesday by the

Kenyan Catholic Doctors Association, the

organization has found an antigen that causes

miscarriages in a vaccine being administered to 2.3

million girls and women by the World Health

Organization and UNICEF. Priests throughout

Kenya are advising their congregations to refuse the

vaccine.

“We sent six samples from around Kenya to

labs in South Africa. They tested positive for the

HCG anti-gen,” Dr. Muhame Ngare of the Mercy

Medical Centre in Nairobi told LifeSiteNews.

“They were all laced with HCG. Source LifeSiteNews.

In November the New Castle Chapter of PCUC honored the lady who founded the chapter 40 years ago. Jean Rogan took the pro-life principles of PCUC and the March for Life to Lawrence County. There, a faithful, determined and savvy group of men and women labored to teach, promote and help people discover the beauty of innocent human life. Each year the New Castle Chapter joins the Knights of Columbus for a spaghetti dinner fund-raiser. In 2013 they invited clergy from all over the county for a luncheon with Dr. Alveda King, niece of the Dr. Martin Luther King. In 2014 their guest speakers were leaders from the PA Pro-life Federation in Harrisburg. Our pro-life family is pleased to have this valiant pioneer as our leader. Jean, you are a blessing to all.

CHLOE’S LAW = ACT 130 OF 2014 In July Gov. Tom Corbett signed into law the Down Syndrome Prenatal & Postnatal Education Act or “Chloe’s Law.” Sen. Randy Vulakovich and Rep. Jim Marshall of Beaver introduced the bill in the PA Senate and House. Under the Act, the Department of Health will make available up-to-date, evidence-

based information about Down syndrome that has been reviewed by medical experts and national Down syndrome organizations. The information will include physical, developmental, educational and psychological outcomes; life expectancy’ clinical course; intellectual and functional development and treatment options. It will also include contact information for First Call programs, support services, hotlines specific to Down syndrome, relevant resource centers, clearinghouses and national and local Down syndrome organizations.

JASON JONES COMING TO

PITTSBURGH Sunday, September 20 = PCUC BANQUET

Jason Jones is the

Hollywood movie producer

who travels the country

proclaiming the pro-life

message. Jason was the

producer of BELLA. Jason

has first-hand experience

regarding the effect abortion

has on a man. His most recent movie is

CRESCENDO, the story about how he became

pro-life. His message enlightens and changes hearts.

GRUBER’S ARROGANCE UNMASKED “Jonathan Gruber is no run-

of-the-mill advocate of

women’s rights; no,” said

Austin Ruse, international

pro-life advocate. “He’s on

record repeatedly making the

case from social science that

abortion is a ‘social good’ because it reduces the

number of ‘marginal children,’ by which he means

the urban poor—those he says can be counted on to

commit crimes if they were ever born.

“Gruber co-authored a paper during the

Clinton years which argued that legal abortion

saved the U.S. taxpayer upwards of $14 billion in

welfare benefits and that it also lowered crime,”

said Ruse.

THINKING AHEAD TO SPRING, TRA-LA If you start your spring clean-up

right after January 1, don’t forget we

will be asking for donations for our annual rummage sale in the spring.

One man’s junk is another’s treasure.

PRO-LIFE 18-YR-OLD WINS IN WV “I believe that life begins at conception, so I consider

abortion the act of taking

human life,” she states. “We

should not spend our tax dollars

to fund such procedures. I’ve

been blessed with life and I

believe every child should have

that same opportunity.”

Saira Blair is an 18-year-old

freshman at WVU. She is

America’s youngest elected lawmaker as a delegate to

the WV House. She got 63% of the vote.

“AMERICAN WAR CASUALTIES” REVISED

Almost since PCUC

was founded (as

WCUC) we’ve

distributed tens of

thousands of yellow

cards with tiny crosses.

Each cross represents

50,000 casualties from

every war in which

America has fought from the Revolutionary War to

Vietnam. Now we have been blessed by the skill and

attention to detail of John Lewandowski. (here with his

mom). John updated the statistics on abortion and

changed the crosses to hearts. We can only imagine the

loss of the love and human potential of the 50,000 babies

each heart represents.

Call the office (412-531-9272) to order a quantity for

your respect life group or pamphlet rack at church.

PLANET FITNESS IN FL BANS SHIRT

As he had often done

in the past, Mike Amoroso

wore his “Abortion Kills a

Person” T-shirt to Planet

Fitness. This time, he was

told to leave. The next day

he showed up with “PRAY TO END ABORTION”

on a bright gold shirt. He was booted again.

The mission statement, binding on all PF

franchises says, “We at Planet Fitness are here to

provide a unique environment in which anyone—

and we mean anyone—can be comfortable. As we

evolve and educate ourselves, we will seek to

perfect this safe, energetic environment, where

everyone feels accepted and respected.” But not

Mike! He was censored by a PF employee. Too bad.
