Dear Friend of Culture of Life Foundation,
All the blessings
of Advent to you and your family again this season!
As 2011 comes to a close, the Culture of
Life Foundation would like to thank you for your generous role in helping to
reach High School and Undergraduate educators in America and Abroad. Our Culture of Life Briefs, which translate deeply scientific and
philosophical understandings of current issues into the language of the
classroom in short, clear and concise logic, are now in the hands of educators
across the globe! With permission,
the work of CLF Fellows is translated into nine languages and shared with students in even the
remotest areas.

Dear Friend and Reader,
Blessings to you and your family again this
Advent Season from all of us at the Culture of Life Foundation. We hope this note finds you in good health
and great anticipation!
Though the beauty and grace of the
season is upon us, as 2011 comes to a close, we can’t help but reflect upon the
present state of our country. The
thoughts and prayers of our Nation are sadly diverted away from the grace of
the season. We can't help but be distracted by the current ills of our policies and the hopes for our coming election.

 The subtitle of this essay is in quotation marks because it is the
subtitle of unPlanned, the recently published life story of Abby
Johnson, former abortion advocate turned pro-life. This remarkable book
tells us of: 1. Abby’s own attitude toward abortion; 2. Why she became a
Planned Parenthood volunteer; 3. Her career with Planned Parenthood
from 2001-2009; 4. How her eyes were opened to the reality of abortion;
and 5. Her decision to resign from Planned Parenthood and cross the life
line.
Abby’s own Attitude Toward Abortion
Abby grew up in a church and a family that believed in the sanctity of
life (p. 21). But as a college student she had two abortions, both
occurring after she became pregnant and while working first for her
undergraduate degree and second for a master’s in psychological
counseling and therapy. She conceived out of wedlock the first time and
followed her boy friend’s advice to have the abortion; the second time
she got pregnant while married to him but in the process of divorcing
him. Both times abortion seemed to her to be a necessary means to avoid
serious problems (pp. 22- 26, 44-48). She had her second abortion by
using the drug RU-486 (Mifeprex) that caused her terrible pain but
nonetheless succeeded in ridding her of the unborn baby.

 The Primacy of Culture and The March for Life
This time every year, and in a special way today, the true and ever
strengthened fabric of America covers again the grounds of our Nation's
capital and presents itself before the rule of law. Media and other
facets of this great Country may call this an event. Others may refer to
it as a mere protest or passing demonstration. But with eyes of admiration I watch the growing number of young and
vibrant pro-life marchers and the vision before me is so very much more
than an organized appeal for truth and justice for the unborn. It is
the vision of our Culture: an ever alive, ever renewing reality of the
people of America. It is America. What a great vision!

The 50s had Benjamin Spock. The 90s had Oprah. We have the sage wisdom
of Rep. Louise Slaughter. Concerned over the bloodshed in Tucson last
weekend—who isn’t? — the democrat from New York zeroed in on the social
problem with that razor sharp sagacity that only liberal politicians
possess. The real issue behind the violence in our country? The
media—it’s “what they’re hearing over the airwaves.”
