Letters

Here are a couple Letters to the Editor that were published in the Wisconsin State Journal this week:

Praise for Goldberg's thoughts on abortion

Thanks for columnist Jonah Goldberg 's insightful thoughts on abortion on the Oct. 18 Opinion page, summed up in one question: When does life begin? The only one with the true answer to this question is God, and only God has access to our hearts to help us bring about change in ourselves and in our world.

Thousands of people are now joined in prayer in 89 cities (four in Wisconsin) across the nation in the largest and longest simultaneous pro-life mobilization in American history -- 40 Days for Life. Through prayer and fasting, participants believe that abortion, the choice against women, will come to an end in our country.

So we will continue to pray for these victims and for those who profit financially from their conditions, especially the employees of Planned Parenthood, Madison. Find more information at www.40daysforlife.com. Thanks again for helping bring the abortion issue to the hearts of many.

Bishop 's leadership inspires at vigil

A historic event in our country is now half over. Madison is one of 89 cities where Americans have been present -- day and night -- outside of abortion facilities to pray and fast for an end to abortion. The prayerful witness will continue through Nov. 4.

The Madison Abortion Clinic on Orin Road is the site of Madison 's 40 Days for Life vigil. Bishop Robert Morlino joined the prayer vigil from Sunday night to Monday morning. I am grateful beyond words to the bishop for his moral leadership, and invite those who believe Americans can do better than abortion to join the vigil.

I truly believe God will hear the blended prayers and sacrifices being made after 33 years of legalized abortion and bring it to an end.
