Segment 4 – National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children
Saturday Sept. 14th is the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children. “By participating in the National Day of Remembrance, visiting these solemn memorial places at other times of the year, and spreading the word about this prayer campaign, you are helping to humanize our aborted brothers and sisters and deepening your own commitment to ending the injustice of abortion. The National Day of Remembrance also offers hope and healing to women who have had abortions and others who have been hurt by abortion.” Dr. Miller joins us.
Dr. Monica Miller is Director of Citizens for a Pro-life Society, teacher of theology at Father Gabriel Richard High School, Ann Arbor and Sacred Heart Major Seminary, and the author of several books, including “The Authority of Women in the Catholic Church” (Emmaus Road) and “Abandoned: The Untold Story of the Abortion Wars” (St. Benedict Press).
