Pro-Life Hollywood

August 25, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Jim Caviezel, the actor who took the film world by surprise with his moving depiction of Christ in 2004 (The Passion of Christ), said this week that abortion has nothing to do with helping women and that he is willing to risk his career to say so.

Caviezel gave an interview with the US magazine Catholic Digest, in which he spoke about the challenge he received from a colleague to adopt a disabled child as a demonstration of his well-publicized pro-life stand. Earlier this year Caviezel adopted his second child - a five-year-old girl with a brain tumour from the Guangzhou region of China...

..."Look, I am for helping women. I just don't see abortion as helping women. And I don't love my career that much to say, 'I'm going to remain silent on this'. I'm defending every single baby who has never been born. And every voice that would have been unique....How do we know that we didn't kill the very child who could have created a particular type of medicine that saves other lives?"

Jewelry that builds a Culture of Life....

When I recently did a search on Etsy using the term "Pro-life", I discovered a wonderful artist named Sarah and her beautiful shop, Maine Coast Creations. I was really excited to see a large selection of precious feet pendants and necklaces but even more delighted when I read the description. Here is what I found:

**This is a white, freshwater pearl. It will come to you on a silver chain! It may differ slightly from the one pictured, but will be a round, white, freshwater pearl!

I was adopted 28 years ago by a WONDERFUL family who took me as their own. Had my birth mother not made the decision to save my life by giving me up for adoption, I wouldn't be here!

I paired these cute little feet with a pearl. The pearl is considered a much valued jewel & I consider every little baby a jewel from God. Won't you join me in saving lives??

I finally feel like maybe I can contribute to the worthy cause of protecting life! Half of the money I make by selling this line of jewelry will be donated to ACLJ.org I encourage you to check it out & buy your piece of Pro Life jewelry today!!

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.

If you'd like a special colored pearl or ANY other bead/stone/crystal added to your tiny pair of feet, please convo me ~ anything is possible!!

I'm sure you can see why I was delighted! What a gift Sarah's mother has given to the world through her sacrificial love...And Sarah, in turn, has allowed her joy and gratitude for life to give hope and beauty to others through her work.

I have held this pretty little pendant in my hands (the one that Sarah so generously donated to my local pregnancy center raffle) and I hope to purchase one of my own someday.
