The Mysteries of Human Life
What is Pro-Life? A consciousness of the Marvelous wonder and mystery of Human Life! This wonder leads us individually to an utmost respect for the sacredness of human life; and socially to an adoption of a culture of Life . Everyone should be Pro-Life.
Today’s Society and the Culture of Death Sex as a game Abortion. Contraceptives. Homo-sex (LGBT). Euthanasia. In-Vitro Fertilization etc. Mostly these are due to Lack of Knowledge of the TRUTH.
Questions We need answers to… What is Love? What is Sex? When does a child become a Human Being? What is D&C? Are Contraceptives okay ? Is IVF okay? Etc., etc.…
What is Love? You’re so fine… your body de make me kolo ... Give me your body. Come and spend my money… Love is a feeling. I’m on Fire. Give it to me…
What happens next in ‘that’ type of Love… Is this truly Love?
What is True Love? Love is God John 3:16 True Love is not mere feelings of attraction. True Love is a DECISION for “Sacrifice and Patience” for the good of one you love.
The Laws of Boy/Girl Relationships … Some laws of Boy/Girl Relationships: Law of Value: we all value what we can’t easily get. Value yourself! Law of Difference : Boys and Girls are Different in how we think about Love. Boys=Sex. Girls=Love. Law of Progression : Sex doesn’t just happen. It starts gradually and progresses. Law of Harvest : Every action is a sowing that will be reaped someday. Flowers, Sweet words, Gifts, Phone calls… Sex… “A girl plays at sex, for which she is not ready, because what she fundamentally wants is love. A guy plays at love, for which he is not ready, because what he fundamentally wants is sex.” -Dr. Mary Calderone.
What is the purpose of Human Sexuality and Sex? + Why? PROCREATION + COMPANIONSHIP (Life) (Love) Sex is the physical expression of a Total, Mutual, Exclusive and Permanent GIFT of oneself to another and the joining of the 2 persons into 1 in Love . By the same act of coming together of Man and Wife, God brings about new Life . “Male and Female, He created them…” No divorce... Why pleasure?
We all face Temptations… It takes a decisive commitment, out of true Love to conquer.
The Beginning of Our Life “God is simply amazing in his creation…” Amazing! > When does a child become a human being?
1-3 Days after Sexual Intercourse. Male Sperm fertilizes Female Egg. A New Unique Human Being is formed. Small as a full stop (.) Yet all information incl. Eye colour, face, body shape even baldness at 60 years are present in 46 Chromosomes . He/she just needs to feed and grow in size. Some say it’s not human until 3 months? =>MR NIGER. “If the child is not human on the first day of conception, when does he/she become? And what is done or added to transform him/her into a human being…?” – Professor Jerome Le Jeune
2 – 3 Weeks The child is growing rapidly. At 21 days old child’s heart begins to beat- pumping blood made by himself, separate from his Mother’s blood. Their bloods are separate. That’s why a HIV+ mother can give birth to a HIV- child?
4 Weeks (1 Month) Amazing how an Umbilical cord serves as a pipeline taking food from the Mother to the child and taking her waste back to the Mother. The umbilical cord is attached to the placenta . A special part of the lining of the womb, which is the child’s food source.
8 Weeks (2 Months) By 8 weeks every organ is in place. Child’s bones begin to show, and unique fingerprints can be seen. There are over 7Billion People in the world today but no one else has same fingerprint as this child. Every Child is Unique. No Duplicate ever! No 2 Fingerprints or Iris are the same!
10 - 12 Weeks (3 Months) Child is now about 6cm – 9cm long! Check that out on a ruler. S/he can now do somersaults, stand on his/her head, leap up and down in the womb and even make a fist.
16 Weeks (4 Months) By 16 weeks, Child is about 16cm long. All he needs is time, He is growing stronger and getting ready for life outside the womb. S/he swims around in the womb.
20 Weeks (5 Months) You can see how grown the child is now. At this stage s/he can hear sounds made outside the womb and can even recognise mother’s voice. Amazing!
24 Weeks (6 Months) He sucks his toes. He starts with his little toe and then move on to a bigger and better toe! He likes to open and close his mouth, curl his toes, and exercise his muscles Muscles...
28 Weeks (7 Months) 30cm long. Child is seen surrounded by the amniotic sac. In the sac there is amniotic fluid . It helps him to move around. He drinks the fluid which helps to develop his lungs ready for his first breath when he is born.
32 Weeks (8 Months) While new-born babies do not smile until around 4-6 weeks after birth, babies in the womb do smile. Maybe Angels are telling them jokes, who knows?
36 - 40 Weeks (9 Months+) Child triggers own labour and is born.

Question: “Now that You know about the Child’s life in the womb, is Abortion okay under any circumstance?” What if the child is female and you’ve had 4 girls already or he’s male and you’ve had 4 boys already? What of Rape or Incest victims? What if the child is disabled? What if the Mother’s life is in danger?
Pregnancy from Rape or Incest
Physically challenged. NOT “disabled”
A Mother’s Life in Danger? Some examples: Ectopic Pregnancy (fallopian tube segment removal) Infected placenta or uterus (removal of the body part) Pre-Eclampsia (early delivery) Miscarriage (expel parts of dead child) We Should Work to Save the 2 Lives. No direct act to kill one so as to save the other.
A Mother’s Love! Pope Francis advanced the sainthood cause of a young mother who died of cancer after delaying chemotherapy treatment in order to save the life of her unborn child. The couple had two children together, Francesco and Lucia, when a malignancy reappeared during her third pregnancy. Mocellin continued with the pregnancy and opted for treatment that would not jeopardize the life of her child, Riccardo, who was born in 1994. She left behind a letter for Riccardo to explain her decision: “I fought with all my power and did not give up on the idea of giving birth to you, so much so that the doctor understood everything and said no more…. Riccardo, you are a gift for us. It was that evening, in the car on the way back from the hospital, that you moved for the first time. It seemed as if you were saying, ‘Thank you mama for loving me!’ And how could we not love you? You are precious, and when I look at you and see you so beautiful, lively, friendly, I think that there is no suffering in the world that is not worth bearing for a child.” Mocellin died of cancer at the age of 26 a few months after Riccardo’s birth.
Abortion should be unthinkable… Babies are so….. beautiful

Sperm should get to Egg in about 2hrs. Pregnancy requires 2 things Fertilization and Implantation . Questions: How do Contraceptives work? What do they do to the body?
Would you trust your entire life on a piece of rubber that fails sometimes? A group of Condom Promoters were asked if they can sleep with a HIV+ patient using condoms… What do you think was their answer? Condoms ZERO protection against HPV spread by contact with skin around genital area. Our planes are safe. Only 2 out of 10 crashes.
How Do Hormonal Pills, Implants and Patches Work?
Morning After Pill (Emergency Contraception) Same action as the Pill, but more intense!
