Abortion Risks

Abortion Risks By Cara Ruegg The way to empower women is not to give them the choice to harm themselves. The reason many women get abortions is because they do not think they are strong enough or do not think there are other options. We should be putting our money to help those single mothers out there be able to keep their babies or see them go to loving homes. If you put aside the morality of it, you still have big red flags regarding how harmful abortion is to a woman's health mentally and physically, flags most women aren't told of until it is too late. Plus, this "fetus" is a human no matter the stage it is at, and it is not the woman's body, it is her baby's body and she has no right over another's body just because it is inside of her own. This child could have a wonderful future and nobody but God should have a say about if it should live or die. There are many children that have survived poverty and have made names for themselves.

How Today's Society Cripples Women

“In as much as woman is loved, it follows that the nobler a woman is, the nobler man will have to be to be deserving of that love. That is why the level of any civilization is always its level of its womanhood.” – Fulton Sheen The world has its feminist agenda and yet it does nothing to actually protects its women, instead it crushes her, making her out to be more an object than a human being; it hangs her on billboards around the streets, dressed provocatively, dressed as an object of pleasure and not as a woman with any dignity.

Women are not the same as men. Women are different and man’s role is not to compete with the woman like any man in the workforce, but to protect her. Society is so hung up on this notion that women are equal to men, when the whole r...

Discerning God's Will (with a poem)

A Reflection and Poem By Cara Ruegg This is incredibly personal and I hesitated putting it up, but I am sure many can relate to it and perhaps be encouraged that they are not alone. There are times that God seems far away. There are times the soul feels such darkness it is as if it were in a haze; suddenly, nothing is clear even what was once so very clear she thought she'd never doubt it. When I was in the convent, deciphering God's will for me, I felt keenly this very cross. I had been there for nearly three years and had wanted so much to keep to my commitment and be His, entirely His as I had said I would, but as vows approached, I was suddenly not so sure anymore about anything. I craved a family of my own, a little child. I noticed my other Sisters didn't have the same yearning as strongly as me. Of course, they were human and did want such a thing, but they seemed to accept the prospect of not having a child of their own much easier than I could, taking ...
