| President of Faith2Action Janet Porter said they did everything they could to make sure the “heartbeat bill” passed. “We live in a State who’s motto is with God all things are possible. That’s what just happened today,” she said. Now, she hopes Gov. Kasich will sign this bill into law. “I think it’s going to take eternal vigilance for us to make sure that he maintains his pro-life promises…He keeps his pro-life promises and passes the bill that will protect babies who’s heart beats can be heard,” said Porter. Not soon after the Ohio Senate approved it a protest erupted outside the governor’s mansion, where an event was taking place. Protesters shouted “Who’s choice? My Choice!” and “Not the church, not the state, women must decide our fate!” “A 6-week abortion ban will essentially outlaw abortion all together,” said exec. Dir. of Women Have Options Stephanie Craddock Sherwood. Pro-choice supporters argue abortion before viability is a constitutional right. “This is a horrible attack on Ohio women, a very dangerous proposal,” said communications manager of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio Gabriel Mann. “This blocks access to a safe and legal abortion procedure.” He said their next step is to challenge the bill in court. “The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal to preserve North Dakota’s, so Ohio legislatures are signing up the tax payers for a very expensive court battle that they’re probably going to lose,” said Mann. Porter believes it’ll be up-held, especially after President-elect Trump’s victory. “I think we have a brand new day here in America and we’re going to see a brand new Supreme Court with pro-life justices,” she said. “By the time this law gets to the Supreme Court, I’m confident it will be upheld.” NBC4i.com 8 декабря 2016 г.

| T he U.S. House of Representatives voted today to defund Planned Parenthood while legislators continue their investigation of allegations that the abortion giant is profiting from the sale of fetal body parts. The bill would take the million of savings and invest it into Federally Qualified Health Centers. With three Republicans and two Democrats crossing the aisle, the final vote for H.R. 3134, the " Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015, " was 241-187. The bill would defund Planned Parenthood while Congress investigates whether it has violated federal fetal harvesting laws, as well as partial-birth abortion and abortion modification laws. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-TN, said in a statement that the vote was " about continuing the process to protect our most vulnerable. " The bill was one of two pro-life bills passed by the House today . The other was H.R. 3504, the " Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, " which makes killing a baby born due to a botched abortion first-degree murder. Neither bill is expected to pass the Senate, which has garnered frustration among many pro-life leaders. The defund vote in particular has been criticized by many pro-life groups and nearly 30 pro-life Republicans who want the bill to be attached to the federal budget that is expected to come to a vote later this month. GOP leaders are concerned that Democrats may shut down the federal government to protect Planned Parenthood " s federal funding. A similar tactic in 2013 led to enormous media and political criticism of the GOP that was reflected in public polling; however, the GOP managed to take the Senate 13 months later. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-KS, tied today " s votes to President Obama " s veto threat, which could endanger the ability of the U.S. government to stay open if Republicans attach a defunding measure to a budget bill. " It is the height of political extremism, not to mention unethical, to hold the entire government hostage to one special interest, especially one that is engaged in the wholesale slaughter of unborn babies and the sale of their organs to the highest bidder, " said Huelskamp. The defund measure was introduced by Rep. Diane Black, R-TN, who said on the House floor today that " this legislation enacts a one year moratorium on all federal money to Planned Parenthood. It does not reduce women’s health funding by a single dime. Instead, this legislation reallocates funding to the more than 13,500 facilities nationwide that provide true preventive care to those who need it most and do not perform abortions. " Additionally, said Black, " Planned Parenthood can get the money back if they fully commit to women’s healthcare and stop performing abortions. " 18 сентября 2015 г.

| Tweet Нравится Pro-life campaigns in Russia and Serbia to be held on Annunciation Moscow, April 5, 2017 Photo: Pravoslavie.ru The international “Beginning of Life” campaign in defense of unborn life will be held on April 7, the feast of the Annunciation, in many regions of Russia, neighboring countries, and in Serbia, reports Foma . With the blessing of Patriarch Irinej, the fourth annual cross procession will be held in Belgrade around the National Assembly building for the legislative protection of the unborn. “Everyone has in view artificial surgical and medical abortions, but few pay attention to the fate of children at the age of Christ (a few days from conception), millions of which are annually disposed of quietly by the abortive action of intrauterine and hormonal means of contraception, and also in the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF), when excess children conceived ‘in vitro’ are discarded, whether disposed of immediately, or once their cryopreservation has expired,” emphasizes the “ For Life ” movement. Festive events and flash mobs with the participation of Orthodox youth will be held in many churches and on the streets in April 7 throughout these countries. The aim is to show that “premarital chastity, strong families, and care for relatives, foster children and orphans are integral parts of the preservation of a nation, but the sins of contraception and artificial conception not only kill children, but are also contrary to human nature, destroying health and the familial way of life, leading to the degradation of society.” Participants will distribute thematic brochures and leaflets to passers-by, and also white flowers—a symbol of life and purity. There will also be festive concerts, charity events and round table discussions on the defense of unborn children. 5 апреля 2017 г.

| Dismemberment Abortion Ban Blocked by Oklahoma Judge/Православие.Ru Dismemberment Abortion Ban Blocked by Oklahoma Judge Source: LifeSiteNews.com Oklahoma City, October 15, 2015 Oklahoma " s law banning second-trimester dismemberment abortions is unconstitutional, a judge has ruled. However, the judge allowed another pro-life law, instituting a 72-hour waiting period before a woman can abort her child, to stand. Both laws were set to take effect on November 1, but Oklahoma County District Court Judge Patricia Parrish " s injunction blocked the dismemberment law. The New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR), which supports abortion-on-demand, had challenged both measures on behalf of an Oklahoma abortion clinic. " The courts have once again bowed to activist agendas [instead of] protection of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for Oklahomans,” State Representative George Faught told LifeSiteNews. " Oklahomans by a large majority believe in protecting the life of the unborn, " said Faught, who described dismemberment as " cruel and heinous. " He said that " it is time to hold these activist judges accountable for their courtroom decisions that run opposite of traditional family values and protection of the unborn. " The dismemberment law " would have prohibited the most common method of performing a second-trimester abortion, " CRR attorney Autumn Katz told ABC News. The dismemberment law is the second state-level law of its kind to be stopped by courts. Kansas " law was halted after a challenge by the abortion industry. Rep. Faught " s son, Jamison, is a prominent blogger in the state. He also criticized Judge Parrish, saying that " the big surprise here is that Judge Parrish didn " t block the 72-hour waiting period law. " " Oklahoma, for some reason, is plagued with an anti-life judiciary,” he said. “It " s time Oklahoma passed judicial reforms along the lines of those proposed by pro-life legislators led by Rep. Kevin Calvey. " Calvey and Faught called for the impeachment of seven justices this summer over a decision to ban the 10 Commandments from the state Capitol. |
| Archive Metropolitan Hilarion celebrated Divine Liturgy at the church of the Elevation of the Cross in Geneva 3 June 2019 year 11:12 On June 2, 2019, the 6 th Sunday after Pascha, the Blind Man, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, head of the Moscow Patriarchate department for external church relations (DECR), celebrated the Divine Liturgy at the church of the Elevation of the Cross in Geneva, Switzerland, the cathedral church of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia diocese of Western Europe. His Eminence was assisted by Bishop Alexander of Vevey, vicar of the diocese Western Europe; Archpriest Pavel Tsvetkov, the church’s ecclesiarch; Archpriest Peter Perekrestov, ecclesiarch of the Cathedral of our Lady the Joy for All the Afflicted in San Francisco; and Hieromonk Ioann (Kopeikin), pro-rector for development, Ss Cyril and Methodius Institute of Post-Graduate Studies (CMI). In the church, there was a shrine with a part of the relics and belt of St. John, Archbishop of Shanghai the Wonderworker of San-Francisco. The shrine had been brought to Swiss parishes with a blessing of Archbishop Kirill of San Francisco and Western America and Bishop Irenaeus of Richmond and Western Europe, on the occasion of the 25 th anniversary of the glorification of the saint. After the Prayer of Fervent Supplication, Metropolitan Hilarion lifted up a prayer for peace in Ukraine. In his sermon after the service, His Eminence Hilarion conveyed to the congregation a blessing from His Holiness Kirill, Patriarchate of Moscow and All Russia. Then he spoke about the Gospel’s story about the healing of a man born blind, stressing that the Lord healed the blind man not only physically but also spiritually, bringing him to faith in Christ not just as man but as God Incarnate. “Every Gospel’s story speaks of Jesus Christ as God”, His Eminence said, “And He continues to live in our midst, with us and in us, for when we partake of the Holy Communion, the Lord Jesus Christ comes to dwell in us entering into our human essence”. Speaking about the difference between Christianity and other religions, he said that the difference between the life of a Christian and that of a non-believer is the same as the life of a blind one and a sighted one. “Externally, everything in our life as Christians seems to be similar to the life of other people, but inwardly our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ makes us aware of the meaning of our life and all that happens in it”. His Eminence concluded his sermon with the traditional exclamation “Christ is Risen!” Then Bishop Alexander of Vevey greeted Metropolitan Hilarion and presented him with an Icon of All Saints in memory of the common prayer and a leaflet about the restoration of the church of the Elevation of the Cross.

The Church is taking the most active and dynamic role in resolving this question, organizing special shelters and humanitarian centers to which pregnant women and those already with children can turn, including for financial support.

| Plans underway to establish first Orthodox-sponsored maternity home in the Midwest Chicago, IL, January 27, 2012 Plans are moving forward toward the establishment of an Orthodox-sponsored maternity home — the first in the Midwest — in the Chicago area. “Orthodox Christians for Life-Chicago, a pan-Orthodox organization established in 2001, has long dreamed of putting its faith into action by establishing an Orthodox-sponsored outreach to women in crisis pregnancies in the Midwest,” according to Helen O’Sullivan, an OCLife-Chicago spokesperson. “Establishing this outreach has increasingly become the focus of the organization and, as a result, a committee was formed to explore the possibilities and to see this project come to life. “At present, there are only a handful of such homes across the country, and while in the Chicago metropolitan area there are a variety of crisis pregnancy centers, there is only one maternity home, under the auspices of an order of Roman Catholic nuns,” Helen said. “Members of Chicago’s pro-life community have indicated that there is a dire need for a second maternity home — one where a cross-section of women would be comfortable to seek support. OCLife-Chicago’s goal is to establish that second maternity home to provide women in crisis pregnancies with housing and other practical, emotional, and spiritual support, with a focus on Christ-centered healing.” OCLife-Chicago has been “doing its homework” in researching its efforts. “One of our members visited Chicago’s only maternity home, as well as the only Orthodox Christian maternity home in the US—California’s Martha and Mary House,” Helen added. “The latter will serve as a model for our efforts.” [Visit the Martha and Mary House web site for additional information.] His Grace, Bishop Matthias of Chicago and the Midwest, has offered his enthusiastic support for the effort, while OCLife-Chicago has been working closely with His Grace, Bishop Demetrios of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago. “OCLIfe-Chicago will undertake the process of establishing the home, writing its bylaws and regulations, acquiring 501c3 non-profit status, and overseeing day-to-day operations and ongoing fundraising,” Helen concluded. “We anticipate a positive response from parishes across the Chicagoland area — and beyond — to our initial fundraising effort, which will begin on March 11, 2012.” For additional information and ongoing updates, visit OCLife-Chicago’s web site .

| Abortion becomes “a European value” Brussels, March 16, 2015 The European Parliament has adopted a resolution which recognizes abortion as a fundamental right and also as a part of reproductive rights despite the fact that this issue remains within the framework of national policy of the EU nations’ governments. The so-called “Tarabela Report” called after the Belgian politician Marc Tarabela, has gone beyond the equality between women and men discussion and has become a tool of the radical change of the status of abortion promoting access to it as a fundamental human right, reports the Rosprav.ru website. On the whole the situation is moving towards intensification of the pro-abortion rhetoric in the EU countries and pressure on the countries that defend the life of their citizens before birth. Section 45 of “the Tarabela Report” reads: “…maintains that women must have control over their sexual and reproductive rights… have access to contraception and abortion…” The resolution was adopted at the session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg by a vote of 441 to 205 with 52 abstaining. The measure was fully supported by Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (the Socialists and Democrats EP Group). Since the establishment of the European Parliament in 1953 the group has existed under various names and until the elections of 1999 it had had the majority of representatives in the Parliament. It is currently the second largest party by membership in EP. The Federation of Catholic Family Associations in Europe has described the report as “contradictory” as it considers abortion as a fundamental human right and it (the report) also contradicts the Human Rights Charter of the European Union. The first article of the Charter reads, “Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected.” The second article states, “Each person has a right to life.” This Charter is a document that secures several basic rights. The formulation of this document was coordinated at ministerial level and included in the draft constitution for Europe. “The Tarabela Report” has provoked a protest among the Christian community of EU and a campaign with signatures collection against it has been launched . 170,000 people have already signed the petition against the report. On Thursday the European Parliament is likely to adopt another pro-abortion document: “The Panzeri Report”, named after its author, Pier Antonio Panzeri. Article 15 of this document recognizes abortion “as a means of saving of women’s lives.” The EU Bureaucratic term, “access to reproductive health services,” means promotion of abortions, birth control, and corruption of minors. 18 марта 2015 г.
