(LifeSiteNews) — Dear reader,
I know the approach of Christmas brings increased financial commitments for many families and so sacrifices made at this time of year are particularly appreciated.
With only two days left of our campaign, we are 50 percent short of what we need to keep LifeSiteNews running at full capacity, so anything you can contribute is a huge help.
Can you please send a gift of any amount today?
Sacrifices made for children put me in mind of those made for the Christ Child during that first Christmas season.
Our Lady and St. Joseph travelled to Nazareth and found shelter in a stable, the Magi journeyed to adore Our Lord, and the Holy Innocents became the first martyrs to shed their blood for Christ.
I think Christmas has power to move and inspire because it reflects a universal human experience: the birth of a child changes everything.
And an innocent baby brings us face to face with a truth found in the first chapter of Genesis, “in the image of God he created them” (Gen 1:27).
LifeSiteNews was born out of the fight to protect children from abortion. Today this battle rages on.
In the U.S., two years after overturning Roe v. Wade, many states have banned abortion or imposed further restrictions.
But abortionists have been fighting back. At the recent election seven states voted to expand access to abortion, with similar measures being defeated in three other states.
The war against abortion will only be won by prayer, fasting and a massive education campaign.
Please support LifeSiteNews today so that we can:
- Educate the public with the truth about abortion
- Provide in-depth coverage of state abortion battles
- Mobilize support for pro-life measures nationwide.
In the Bible, God tells us that he made human beings as one of two sexes: “male and female he created them” (Gen 1:27).
Satan hates our masculinity and femininity and that’s why he is mobilizing his servants in the corporate, political, media, and financial worlds – and they are legion – to mutilate the bodies of children and adults.
I have rarely been more distressed than by the story of Texas father Jeffrey Younger, who has lost custody of his children because he opposed his wife’s wish to have his son castrated.
12-year-old James Younger is set to be permanently mutilated and unable to father children.
These evil laws and morally corrupt judiciary are so wicked as to almost defy conception.
With your support LifeSiteNews will:
- Fight tirelessly to deliver children from the hands a corrupt establishment
- Expose the lies on which gender ideology is founded
- Relentlessly share the gospel of Jesus Christ – “This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.” (Mark 9:29).
Yes, I want to give to LifeSiteNews’ mission
With your support LifeSiteNews will keep fighting for children without wavering or compromise.
Please accept my sincere gratitude,
John-Henry Westen
