Below are a couple of extracts from this weeks parish news letter from Fr Jones of Llandudno's Catholic church.
Some very emotive and strong stuff.
But someone has to say something!
I must say that when I look around the town and other towns/cities some thing seems a miss with all these teenage girls been up the spout and pushing prams around.
Some seem to treat having a child as some sort of right of passage to get a flat and some income.
I was buying a paper the other morning ,and in front of me were a couple of teenage mums buying there toddlers a packet of crisps and a soft drink for their breakfast. Mad!
Also we have the other group , who treat abortion as some glorified morning after pill.
This to me seems to have gone too far down the road, not helped by the labour government since 1997.
It has to begin in the home and continue through school and society.
The breakdown in family values and ones own self respect has gone too far.
I do not profess to know the answer.
But please, some one has to do some thing to reverse this sad trend.
Father Jones also comments on stem cell experimentation.
I do not know much about it myself.

The Parish Fast, as you will remember from the Newsletters before I went on holiday, is in response to the six and three-quarter million abortions carried out in this country alone since the Abortion Act came onto the statute books in 1967. We are trying, in our own small way, to make atonement to the Giver of Life for the innocent lives that have been wilfully destroyed, and to pray for that our society may come back to its senses
And please take the trouble to be part of the Postcard Campaign, needing you simply to put your signature and address on the postcard available at the back of the church and returning it. In all conscience we cannot sit back and allow this proposed Human Tissues and Embryos Bill to get on the statute books; we fought Hitler tooth and nail who was doing the same kind of experiments on human beings.
