'We need now more than ever to have the courage to look the truth in the eye and to call things by their proper name'

What Anne Nicol Gaylor is doing is Evil. It should not be given the legally favored status of a "Charity" under the law. It is more akin to a War crime. After all, there is an undeclared War on the Womb and she is helping to fund it by writing checks. So far,18,986 checks and counting! The Bizarro World of Charities that Kill and Tax Deductions to those who fund Evil must be exposed. In John Paul's words "Given such a grave situation, we need now more than ever to have the courage to look the truth in the eye and to call things by their proper name."

MADISON, WI (Catholic Online) - One of our most popular writers on Catholic Online is Jennifer Hartline. She just returned from visiting family and sent me an article from the Wisconsin State Journal, written by Doug Erickson, and entitled " Crusader with a Checkbook: Anne Nicol Gaylor helps women fund abortions".

In this piece Erickson writes about 83 year old Anne Nikol Gaylor who looks like she just stepped out of central casting ready to play a grandmother. However this "grandmother" has written 18,986 checks to pay for abortions in her leadership role with the "Womens Medical Fund" , recognized as a charity under both Wisconsin Law and the Internal Revenue Code.

This "charity" explains its mission on its website: "Womens Medical Fund Inc - Helping to ensure access to safe, legal abortions for Wisconsin's neediest women." It explains further, "The right to choose an abortion is meaningless without access to abortion services. Although abortion is legal, increasingly restrictive laws are limiting access for all women. Poor women unable to pay for an abortion are effectively denied access to complete health care services.

"Federal and state government funds cannot be used to pay for abortions; most health insurance will not pay for abortions. Wisconsin has the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation. Poor and rural women are particularly hard hit by these laws. One law mandates two visits to a doctor, 24 hours apart, increasing the costs of obtaining an abortion. Wisconsin has limited abortion clinic services, located only in Milwaukee, Madison and Appleton; often women must pay for travel, childcare or overnight accommodations in addition to using scarce resources to pay for an abortion."

On Gaylor's 80th birthday she sponsored a fundraising event to raise funds to fund abortion - which is the taking of innocent human life in the womb. Those funds go mostly to poor women to assist them in aborting the children in their womb. There is no effort to offer counseling or any kind of abortion alternative. Erickson writes, "Gaylor used the occasion of her 80th birthday to hold a fundraising party for the fund at the Madison home of Dr. Dennis Christensen, an abortion provider who has since retired. Gaylor sent invitations far afield, including one to a well-to-do woman in California she'd never met but who had donated to the Freedom from Religion Foundation. The woman sent her regrets and a $20,000 check."

This 83 year old woman who looks like a grandmother was a co-founder of this deadly fund in 1976. That year she also helped to found another 'charity" called "The Freedom from Religion Foundation" also located in Madison, Wisconsin. That Charity mission states, "The nonprofit Freedom From Religion Foundation works to educate the public on matters relating to nontheism, and to promote the constitutional principle of separation between church and state. The Foundation is the nation's largest association of freethinkers (atheists, agnostics and skeptics) with more than 15,500 members. Since 1978, the Foundation has acted on countless violations of the separation of state and church, and has taken and won many significant complaints and important lawsuits to end state/church entanglements."

As an example of the work of this "charity" we need only examine the work of the infamous advocate of religious cleansing in the United States, Michael Newdow. He is the lawyer/physician who regularly files lawsuits to eradicate any mention of God in the public square. An example is his ill fated effort to remove the words "under God" from the pledge of allegiance. He was honored for his efforts by the "Freedom from Religion" Foundation in 2002 and later became a member of one of its Boards.

Erikson offered a quote from a pro-Life activist in Madison regarding Gaylor's activities in writing checks to fund abortion, which is the taking of innocent human life in the first home of the whole human race - as well as her response: "It's a stark example of misguided compassion that serves as discrimination of the worst kind," said Peggy Hamill, state director of Pro-Life Wisconsin. "To finance extermination of pre-born children because those children would have been brought up poor is deplorable." Gaylor said no one is chasing down low-income pregnant woman. They're simply the ones who come to her. "If that's discrimination, so be it"

He also offered some examples of what he called Gaylor's "way with language": "Gaylor may look like Betty White, but her words still carry the socko punch that once led an audience member at the taping of a Philadelphia talk show to rush her from behind and put her in a chokehold. On large families: "How presumptuous of someone to think ...

I'm not in the least bit surprised by this story at all. When abortion is legalised it opens the door to people who are willing to fund murder, even to those willing to fund murder among some who can't afford to murder. It always opens the door to well funded, cold hearted murderers. They beleve their world will be better because of it. Boy, are they NUTS!

How very sad to read this article. A return to God in our lives - in our schools, communities, and government policies - would do this country a lot of good. Pray, pray, pray.....teach, teach, teach.....speak, speak, speak, but most importantly - lead by example, lead by example, lead by example.

I felt sad after reading this article. I cannot imagine such kind of person still exist. May our good Lord pity her. Let's pray for Ms. Gaylor and others who are anti-Christ and anti-life.

As a mother of six, I cried when I lost a baby, and I was only three months pregnant. With my last child, it was touch and go in the begining. I cried with each cramp. How ruthless and arrogant can one be, to elect to murder their own baby? Adoption agencies are always looking for babies.

Shakeena, if that is your real name, you are too flippant about the six abortions. Therefore, you are either lying, ignorant, yarn spinner, or ruthless, without a conscience. We die, and then the judgment. God may not slap your hand in this life, but you will pay the price for your actions, as we all will, in the next.

Very few women have had more than one abortion and lived to tell about it, even in modern times. After 2 most have post-op complications and rendered infertile. I know one woman who had 5 and one miscarriage, the miscarriage due to her abortions. Shakeena or whatever her name is, is likely a troll, or a composite from something such as planned parenthood or NARAL. What NARAL and planned parenthood wil never tell? people like "s" will never carry to full term unless by miracle.

Rory, my above comment is pretty harsh. I must apologize. I meant to make a certain kind of point, but now when I read it, it sounds terrible. I'm very lucky that the people in my parish seem like the kind of people who would never be so judgmental to a young woman.

Rory, it's easy to post a message or comment, but if you loved this girl, why didn't YOU do anything to help her? Why didn't YOU go to the bishop or ask at the church to confirm what she said? It's true that the man is also guilty of having sex, risking pregnancy, then abandonning the pregnant woman, but you say nothing of what YOU did to help her. Or, are you talking about her past? If some members of my parish treated someone like that, I'd want to know. Other members of our parish would step in to help. If she kept on sleeping with a young man who kept reminding her that he was going to seminary, then she did indeed take a risk of getting pregnant and begin alone. That doesn't excuse his behavior at all, but she is not some innocent victim who didn't know how babies were made. Women need to be more responsible for themselves and stop thinking 'oh, it's so romantic, he'll surely change his mind for me!' The man sounds extremely self centered, and in picking him, she judged poorly.

while you people rant about how evil abortion is,and i can see where you are coming from think on this.A girl I know and love had a relationship with a good catholic boy several years ago. He intended to become a priest.After he had left for the seminary she found she was pregnant.The good catholic community not only abandoned her but excluded her from the only community she knew.The young man was forgiven for his wandering and allowed to complete his studies.the girl was called a slut and other epithets but although she thought of an abortion she went on to have the child.No help was given by the church or the father and she struggled financially and emotionally for many years.Unfortunately the child died at 13 from an unknown peanut allergy(she had eaten a snickers bar).the girl suffered greatly from grief and when a leading lady within the church said that it served her right for being a "loose woman" she went into a deep depression.Therapy and marriage to a good man ( a Baptist) has improved her life.The moral is if this is the way the church treats girls in this situation who can blame them for aborting.There was very little christian comfort provided to her.sometimes they see no alternative

Shakeena,I'm guessing by your name that you may be African American..if you are heres something to look into...did you know that Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger for the sole purpose of keeping the minority population in check?She was one of the biggest rascists of her time...ever notice that most if not all abortion clinics are in poor and minority neighborhoods?Did you know that one of the biggest opponents of abortion is Martin Luther King Jrs daughter..she is very active in the fight for life and says that if her father was alive today it would be one of the biggest things he'd have fought for..life. I hope your comment was simply sarcasm trying to get a rise from people...if not ,perhaps you should look into the reasons that you hate yourself so much that you would kill a part of yourself 6 times and counting?Are you not aware that one of Gods titles is The Lord The Giver of Life?When you stand before Him in judgement and you will whether you believe in God or not...those babies will be there next to Him to testify against you...seek help and forgiveness and may God bless your soul.

*shocked* that's my impression when I read this news. We have to do something about this and I cannot comprehend this women issuing checks and funding those who'd like to have an abortion. Imagine if there are lots of charities doing the same thing or people who would also fund the same thing. I guess I will be very afraid of the what will be the outcome on cities or countries that promotes this kind of crime. Sodom and Gomorrah were ruined because people there do not believe in the sanctity of life. Look what is happening right now, wild fires, floods, tsunamis, high intensity earthquake, do we have all to suffer first or encounter disasters and food shortages in order to turn back to God? It is good we have Freedom but it is evil to use the word Freedom to kill a child in the womb. May God have mercy on us all.
