Page 2 THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME B January 21, 2018
Each year at this time, we commemorate one of the saddest
and most tragic days in our nation’s history, the day our
Supreme Court voted to make the killing of an unborn child a
legal right for a mother.
Since that awful day (January 22, 1973), about 60 million
unborn children have been denied the chance to bring their
gifts to our nation. In her book Loved as I Am, Sr. Miriam
Heidland, S.O.L.T., writes:
Abortion affects everybody on the face of the earth.
Because of abortion, we are missing friends and
relatives. We are missing leaders, thinkers, and
spouses; we are missing countless children that
those children would have had. We are missing
entire generations of human beings, and the loss is
staggering. Choices have consequences. (pg. 41)
The good news is that the percentage of wom-
en having abortion is less than half of what it
was in 1980.
I asked parishioner and diaconate candidate,
Phil Warwick, to write this column on the hot
button issue of abortion. Phil addresses three
questions:
Does abortion help women?
Why do we keep trying to change the laws?
How do we change hearts?
Does abortion help women?
Roughly twenty years ago, a custom-
er in the northeast, Dan, who knew I was
Catholic, asked me if I would come over
for dinner to meet his wife, Molly. I didn’t know why; all
he said was that she needed to talk to me. We had a deaf-
eningly silent, tense dinner — Dan, Molly, their young
daughter Becky, and me. Toward the end of dinner, Dan
got up, picked up Becky, and said that he would bathe her
and put her to bed. Becky’s distant giggles at her father’s
bath-time antics relaxed the atmosphere. Even Molly
chuckled, but then she started crying. “Phil, six months
ago I had an abortion. You just don’t bring a child into the
world with that!”
“With what?” I asked. Molly explained that a genetic
heart deformity ran in her family. The baby had tested
positive for the defect, having approximately a 40%
chance of living with a bad heart. Molly’s father was a
cardiologist and persuaded her to have the abortion. After
all, they could always try again for a perfect child. As she
talked, she shared that she was suicidal; counseling
wasn’t helping much. She also hated her father and
blamed her husband for not stopping her.
An ongoing Finnish study, first published in 1996, demon-
strated that women (ages 15-49) who go through an abortion
are six times more likely to commit suicide than women who
deliver/give birth. Further, women who delivered also had half
the suicide rate of the general female population in the studied
age group. A recent subsequent study by the same research-
ers showed that efforts to reduce suicide rates were not
“statistically significant.” An Australian study in 2013 found
similar results: suicide is the leading cause of death for post-
abortive women in Australia and the entire British common-
wealth. Finally, a U.S.-based study in California found that
women who had state-funded abortions (i.e., low-income
women) were 2.6 times more likely to commit suicide than the
general female population. Like the Finnish study, women
who gave birth had lower suicide rates than even the general
population!
What about mental health? In 2011, the
British Journal of Psychiatry (Vol. 199, No. 3)
reported that 10% of mental health problems
and 35% of suicidal behaviors within women,
ages 15-49, may be attributable to abortion!
Women with a history of abortion are 55% more
likely to have mental health problems! This
massive study includes almost 900,000 women
from six countries. We could blame Catholic or
religious guilt, but studies do not support such a
rash conclusion. For example, Finland is less
than 0.2% Catholic, and the Evangelical Luther-
an Church—the dominant, nominal religion
(72% of the people; 2% practicing) — permits
abortion up until “fetal viability.” However, stud-
ies do show disproportionately higher suicide rates among post
-abortive impoverished women—a specific target “market” of
Planned Parenthood and eugenics practices.
How can anyone reasonably argue that abortion is ‘good’
for women, especially impoverished women?
Forty-Fifth Anniversary of Roe v Wade
60 million unborn lives killed in their mother’s
womb
Guest Columnist — Parishioner Phil Warwick
Abortion affects everybody on the face of the earth. Because of abortion, we are missing friends and relatives. We are missing leaders, thinkers, and spouses; we are missing countless children that those children would have had. We are missing entire generations of human beings, and the loss is staggering. Choices have consequences.
Page 3 THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME B January 21, 2018
Why do we keep trying to change the laws?
Molly put a face on the post-abortive mental health
reality. Molly and Dan lived well on Dan’s engineering
salary, so in their case poverty was not a consideration.
At this point, I was petrified of saying the wrong thing.
Molly reiterated, “You just don’t bring a child into the
world with that! And after all, abortion is legal. It must be
okay.”
We Americans love the myths of two extremes: First, we
associate what is right, just, and moral, with what is legal. “It’s
legal, so it must be okay.” Second, we claim, “Well, you can’t
legislate morality.” Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King pointed out:
“But the Christians pressed on, in the conviction that
they were "a colony of heaven," called to obey God
rather than man. Small in number, they were big in
commitment. They were too God-intoxicated to be
"astronomically intimidated." By their effort and ex-
ample, they brought an end to such ancient evils as
infanticide and gladiatorial contests.” (April 16, 1963,
Letter from a Birmingham Jail)
Roman pagan culture allowed infanticide, and Christianity
influenced the first laws against it under the Emperor Constan-
tine I. It took more than 200 years! I can’t deny the current
legal difficulties associated with the U.S. Supreme Court, and
therefore, legal change may not come in my lifetime. Right
now, however, Florida Catholic Conference has identified two
prolife legislative matters before the Florida House and
Senate. (Please visit https://flaccb.org/.) As for “legislating
morality,” Dr. King also gave context:
“Certainly, if the problem is to be solved then in the
final sense, hearts must be changed… But we must
go on to say that while it may be true that morality
cannot be legislated, behavior can be regulated. It
may be true that the law cannot change the heart but
it can restrain the heartless. It may be true that the
law cannot make a man love me but it can keep him
from lynching me.” (Dec. 18, 1963, Address, Western
Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI.)
Faithful, Catholic work to end abortion continues to require
an approach that changes hearts and labors to legally re-
strain—ultimately end—the practice of abortion. Had abortion
been illegal, Molly would have never given into pressure. We
never know the potential of a child. Molly’s baby had a 60%
chance of no heart issues. Further, four of the Osmond Broth-
ers (musicians) and John Ritter (actor) have (had) congenital
heart defects. Tim Tebow (Heisman Trophy winner) suffered
from oxygen deprivation in utero.
We never know the potential of a child. Isn’t that reason
enough to keep working for change?
How do we change hearts?
Molly and Dan didn’t belong to a specific church and
would occasionally attend one of the non-denominational
churches around them. I was very puzzled why Molly spe-
cifically wanted to talk to me, a Catholic, so I asked her.
She responded, “Why do Catholics hate those who have
abortions? Am I really going to hell?”
Shocked, I asked, “Who told you that you were going
to hell?”
“Our former best friends.” She then explained that
their neighbors and lifelong friends were Catholic and
heavily involved in a local prolife Catholic fraternal organi-
zation. When they told them Molly had the abortion, the
friends stormed out, condemned them, and haven’t spo-
ken since. “What do you believe?” she asked hauntingly.
Did Dan and Molly’s “best friends” change hearts?
Truth spoken without love is not truth at all. Yes, abortion
is wrong, but the forgiving and reconciling love of God is far
greater. From Pope Francis:
"I wish to restate as firmly as I can that abortion
is a grave sin, since it puts an end to an inno-
cent life…. In the same way, however, I can and
must state that there is no sin that God's mercy
cannot reach and wipe away when it finds a re-
pentant heart seeking to be reconciled with the
Father.” (Apostolic Letter, Nov. 21, 2016)
Some in the prolife movement loathe efforts to tie poverty
and “womb to tomb” concerns—such as Cardinal Bernardin’s
image of the seamless garment—to abortion issues. If the
only faith witness to a frightened, pregnant teen is a judging,
condemning church, where will she turn? If the only faith
witness is an apathetic, uncaring church, will she turn there? If
the only example of single motherhood is a life of severe hard-
ship, poverty and struggle, what will she want to escape?
Programs, such as Pridmore House, Genesis House, Family
Promise, Habitat for Humanity, and Community of Hope, give
compassion to our prolife message. Consistency of life is-
sues, such as opposing capital punishment and euthanasia,
give credibility to our prolife message. The seamless garment,
understood in this context, gives alternatives, hope, and above
all, mercy and compassion.
I am forever saddened to think that Molly only knew a
judging, condemning Catholic church. I honestly do not recall
how I responded, but we remained friends. I hope that in
Page 4 THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME B January 21, 2018
some small way, I helped her. Many times, I find it too easy
to judge and motivate myself by a “them” and “us” attitude. I
find it profoundly difficult to work for change amid conflict
while loving—even the vilest person—with the very love of the
Cross. Yet this is what it means to be Catholic, and only in
allowing the Spirit of God to work through us can we love with
the love of the Cross.
Molly and Dan divorced about a year later and didn’t
speak with each other for years. Three years ago, Molly
died of leukemia. Dan, Becky, and Molly’s father were all
at her bedside when she passed away. Dan told me that
she became very involved in a church in her last years.
I can only hope and pray that she came to know the
forgiving love of our God. (End of Phil’s column.)

identity of Molly, Dan, and Becky.

Will we see the 1973 Roe v Wade decision overturned in
our life time?
In his book To Light a Fire on Earth, Bishop Robert Barron
has this interesting response:
Probably not in our lifetime, but I wouldn't
rule it out. I’d make a comparison with slavery.
At a certain point in American history, nobody
would have imagined the possibility of slavery
being overturned. Very smart people, very moral-
ly plugged-in people, were defenders of slavery in
1830, 1840, including Christians at a very high
level. Politicians at the highest level didn’t think
slavery could be overturned in 1820 or 1840, and
yet now slavery is unthinkable. It’s the same with
civil rights. In the 1930’s and ‘40s, a lot of very
high-placed people, including religious people,
wouldn’t have imagined the overturning of Jim
Crow, but now it’s a fact. I find that, by the way,
from a theoretical standpoint, fascinating, how
that happens in a society. How at one point some-
thing is commonly accepted, and fifty years later
it’s unthinkable. I don’t rule out that, at some
point, the same could happen with abortion. I
hope, in God’s providence, it will become un-
thinkable that we’re murdering children at the
rate of millions per year.
Prayer for the Innocents
God of the lost,
Listen to Rachel mourning
her children,
refusing to be consoled
because her children are no more.
The slaughter of innocent
people is not held back
by the love of weeping mothers
or the bitter tears of fathers
mourning the death of
their sons and daughters,
not by the cries and moans
of the children,
looking for parents
who can comfort them no more.
Let us hear the mute voice
of dead witnesses;
let us put a stop to the
death of the innocent.
Teach us, in their loss,
to stem the fury
of hatred, division, prejudice and war.
Help us, for we are unable to help ourselves.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son,
who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Social Concerns & Food Pantry
In our final numbers for 2017, we helped a total of 13,912 people (5,993 families) with emergency food and financial assistance (in the amount of $391,265). When you look at those large numbers, it’s amazing this happens in a small building that is open 2 hours per day, Monday-Friday. How do we do it?
Volunteers (numbering around 95) work anywhere from 4 to 15
hours per week. They are amazing!
Ascension Students bring in food for the pantry every Wednes-
day, and volunteer when we need them.

“Helping Seniors”
Car Raffle
Helping Seniors, a local non-profit
with several Holy Name of Jesus
parishioners on its Board of Direc-
tors, will display their “1951 Ford
Victoria” after all weekend Masses
at Ascension on February 4. Ticket
donations will be used to support
this organization which has helped
many Brevard seniors over the
years.
We would appreciate your support
as we work to assist seniors who
need information, education and
connection to services.
In 1997, Pope Saint John Paul II instituted a day of prayer for women
and men in consecrated life. This celebration is attached to the Feast
of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2. This Feast is also
known as Candlemas Day, when candles are blessed symbolizing
Christ who is the Light of the world. So too, those in consecrated life
are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples.
Join us for an event with nationally known speaker Justin Fatica and the You’re Amazing Team, who will bring a message of HOPE that will change your life forever. Be encouraged, chal-lenged, and inspired like never before, and realize just how amazing you are!
