Can We Save Ourselves From Ourselves?
From 1915 to 1923, Ottoman Turks slaughtered up to 1.5 million Armenians. In mid-century the Nazis exterminated 6 million Jews, 3 million Soviet POW's, 2 million Poles, and 400,000 other "undesirables".
Mao Zedong killed an estimated 30 million Chinese while the Soviets murdered 20 million of its own people.
The Khmer Rouge killed 1.7 million fellow Cambodians in the killing fields.
In the 1980's and 90's Saddam Hussein's Baath Party killed over 100,000 Kurds and this number continues to rise as more evidence is discovered.
Rwanda's Hutu-led military wiped out over 1 million Tutsi civilians in the 1990's.
Today, the same is going on in Sudan's Darfur region.
As of the most recent update of the statistics by Prolife.org, the estimated total number of abortions, in the United States alone, is over 49 million since 1973. That pace is almost three times the combined total of the previously mentioned heinous acts of genocide committed all over the world in past 100 years. The world has gone to war twice, in part, due to these atrocities.
Is There A Remedy?
There is prayer.
There is also hope…and it comes in little packages. In this case, 7 pounds, 10 ounces.
Please join us in welcoming into the world Ethan the son of OLTIV's volunteer webmaster who helps keep this website running smoothly on behalf of Our Lady of America's mission to call Her children to lead the world by the purity of their lives.
Congratulations. Thank you for sharing this precious little symbol of hope.

I knew the number of abortions was high but I never knew it matched all the other killings the world has seen in the past 100 years. This is atrocious!
Thank you for spelling it out so clearly.
Good luck with the baby. He's adorable. One of Our Lady's new soldiers.
I had been wondering why no new posts had been added for a while but the I was so pleased to check the website this morning and see the good news. CONGRATULATIONS!!
The death statistics are daunting. We must pray and work to change this course of destruction.
Thank you for a wonderful website in honor of Our Lady of America.

You know, when we speak of the over 49 million lives taken in abortion, that is just in the United States. In some countries of the world the average woman may have had 5 or more abortions! But we must also remember lives taken through artificial fertilization, and now, through experimentation with human embryonic lives - now playing God through manipulation for the most desired type of baby:
The headlines of the New York times on 9/11: "Scientists Urge Bigger Supply Of Stem Cells," it said.
"Report Backs Cloning to Create New Lines."

LOST IN THE COMMOTION: THE LINK BETWEEN PROPHECY, CLONING, AND SEPTEMBER 11
@Spirit Daily
Lost in all the commotion over recent events is the fact that on the very morning of September 11 -- as office workers
settled in for coffee and glanced at the newspaper - there on the front page of The New York Times was the headline:
"Scientists Urge Bigger Supply Of Stem Cells," it said.
"Report Backs Cloning to Create New Lines."
It was what many had feared: with the door to embryo stem cells cracked open by a decision in August to allow limited
research, scientists were now going to try to barge right through -- in fact, to break down that door -- demanding
that human cloning and the manufacture of more embryos be allowed in the name of "medical breakthroughs."
The trend toward cloning appeared unstoppable. Scientists in the U.S., Italy, and other countries were working feverishly
to create the first cloned human, or at least embryos that could be used as a source of stem cells.
Now, they had all the more momentum. That was the headline in The Times, which is located about
seven miles from ground zero; meanwhile, in the Washington area, the same headline was splashed on the
front page of America's largest daily newspaper, USA Today, which is four miles from the Pentagon.
While it was good that such research was limited by President Bush (who we have no doubt is a sincere Christian),
we were concerned back then that scientists would be clamoring for wider use of stem cells if they were given
even an inch, and we warned, in our own front-page headline, that as a result and for other reasons as well
America would soon see a chastisement. The Pope himself warned that the wrong decisions on this issue
would be "tragic."
It was just 33 days later that September 11 occurred, and it seemed tied to what we have called the 1990 prophecy -
an anonymous prediction seemingly from the Lord on December 2, 1990, which had foreseen "a new evil" in
four years that mankind had never before encountered and that would "arrive almost imperceptibly" - appearing
to have "beneficial and convenient aspects."
That certainly sounded like cloning and stem cells. According to the prophecy, "it is an evil comparable to
abortion -- that is to say, that even if evils as great and widespread as abortion were to be eliminated, this is
enough of an evil that it would present mankind with an enormous challenge... How mankind responds to
this new evil will determine the extent, length, and severity of the first chastisements."
We don't carry every prophecy. In fact, we try to limit things rather strictly. But this stands out. This cries out.
It was exactly four years after the prophecy that landmark decisions were made pertinent to both stem
cells and cloning. In 1994, the director of National Institutes of Health created a Human Embryo Testing
Research Panel that endorsed human embryo research, finding that the "promise of human benefit from
research is significant, carrying great potential benefit."
The prophecy went on to say that "regional chastisements" would occur according to our response to the "new evil."
Few can deny that since 1990 the U.S. and other nations have seen a baffling array of local disasters. It's not just
over genetics. It's over our greed. It's over our general morality. But cloning is clearly a key part. "My greatest
nemesis is science, even more so than the media,"said the alleged prophecy. "The science that alters life,
the science which creates a counterfeit heaven, the science that toils with the womb and genes, the science
that has filled the air with the power of the enemy...the science which seeks to create life but cannot in
actuality even sustain it, the science which has denied God. "This will fall, and all of its creations with it."
And it all falls back on the lack of purity everywhere.
I sure hope Heaven dosen't have a death penalty because we'd all be guilty in the highest court.
I needed this little message of hope today. I have been battling abortion in my community for over 30 years. I cannot tell you the number of "discussions" I have had to endure trying to convince me that it is more humane to terminate the pregnancy than to take it to term and have a "troubled child". The problem is: the child wasn't troubled, it was the parents who have the problem of not recognizing their own wonderful gift of our Creator.
Did anyone see "House" last night? It was a great testimony to medical technology's "hope" against previously dismal situations involving complicated pregnancy. In the end, there was a beautiful baby boy just like Ethan.
Really cute baby! Congratulations.
Chalk another one up for the good guys.
