About this sermon
Pro-lifers in Maine held a recent rally against a measure that would give the state one of the least-restrictive abortion laws in the nation. Lawmakers are debating a measure that pro-lifers say would make it legal to perform an abortion up until the moment of birth. More than 2,000 pro-lifers spoke out against the proposal last week during a special hearing in the State House. Still, the measure appears to have the votes to pass. Pastor of Holy Savior in Rumford, Maine, Fr. Aaron Damboise, and Life Program Director for the Holy Family Council of the Knights of Columbus in Lewiston, Maine, Gordon Davis, join to tell us about the pro-life response. Normally only a couple hundred people show up for the comments period at the State House. This time there were 2,000 pro-lifers and the session lasted 19 hours. Fr. Aaron shares what it was like and what happened. Gordon discusses the bill as some of the language in the measure is intentionally vague. They fill us in on what comes next and what this means for the state of Maine and the pro-life movement there. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
