During today's Catholic News segment, Bill and Rich were joined by Michael Voris the president and founder of St. Michael's Media. Michael will be joining us for KWKY's Second Annual Faith Matters Conference: Springtime of Evangelization August 28-29, 2009.

The big topic of teh day was that George Tiller, a late term abortionist in Wichita, Kansas, was shot and killed in his Church Sunday. George was an usher for the Reformation Lutheran Church. As a pro-life community, murder is never the answer, we hope that our listeners will join KWKY in praying for the repose of the soul of George Tiller and for his family.

Michael pointed out that this murder raises many questions. The secular media is honing in on the murder taking place in a church and that George Tiller was an usher. Michael's question was didn't the pastor know this man's profession? He wasn't a low-profile parishioner, he was an active member in society. In the Catholic Church, those active in pro-death professions are not permitted to receive communion, because you cannot be Catholic and Pro-abortion. Michael challenges us to watch how the secular media spins this story. It is very telling on how secular media is sold on teh abortion movement.

Michael also approached the subject of Sonya Sotomayor as Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court. Michael pointed out that while she does not seem to have a record of rulings on pro-life cases that doesn't mean that she is pro-life. She ruled in favor of the pro-life movement on two occasions that did not deal with the right to abortion. No one quite has a handle on her positoin on Roe-v-Wade stance, so we should watch her with caution.

Terri Prenger with Iowans for Life joined us for Pro-Life 101 today. She too commented on George Tiller's murder. Terri said that every single life is precious including the late-term abortionist, George Tiller and murder is never the answer.

Terri also commented on President Obama's speach at Nortre Dame where he asked to meet on common ground. The idea of common ground in the dictionary is termed as "a basis of mutual interest or agreement."

There is nothing that we can mutually agree upon with Pro-Abortionists. We believe that all life is sacred and we can't budge from that conviction one inch. To meet in the middle means that the Pro-Life movement would have to say that some abortions are okay, when they are not. As Terri rightly put it, "We're either totally alive or totally dead."

Terri pointed out that Fr. Pavone says dialogue is important, which it is. We dialogue but we never waiver on the issues where life is concerned. Opening dialogue up to debate. The facts are available and there are many men and women whose lives have been changed by abortion.
