The Curse of Abortion

A beautiful entry from a new Catholic blog I am following: http://www.historicalchristian.com/

Saddest Irony: Family of Abortion Provider Dies in Plane Crash Next to "Tomb of the Unborn" (link)

You've all heard about the small plane that crashed in a cemetery in Montana that killed seven children and seven adults. What the news reports don't tell you: most of the children and adults on board were family members of the owner of the nation's largest private abortion provider, Family Planning Associates of California.

They also don't tell you that the cemetery is the Catholic Holy Cross Cemetery, which contains a "Tomb of the Unborn" - a memorial to unborn babies killed by abortion, where local residents pray the rosary for the unborn and to end abortion.

They also don't tell you that the home of the owner, Irving Moore "Bud" Feldkamp III, has been the site of many abortion protests, where the main message to him has been "think of your children" - and he has now lost nine children, including two daughters, two sons-in-law, and five grandchildren.

Oh, saddest irony of ironies. I don't wish this on him. But I pray that somehow the grace of God will get through to him - that the loss of his own children will open his eyes to the loss of all the children that he has profited from, and break and change his heart.

The whole story is here. Read it, and pray for the soul of this man, his wife, their children, and the souls of all children killed by abortion.

UPDATE: I just learned something else: my husband used to go to Butte, the site of the crash, on business. He is familiar with the little town and the cemetery where the crash occurred. He just told me that it is a very devout Irish Catholic community - and also the site of Our Lady of the Rockies, a giant statue of Mary, at 90 feet the largest Madonna statue in the US and the second largest statue of any kind, on top of a mountain overlooking the town.

It was built by volunteers, to honor women, above all mothers. What can I say. The irony, and the tragedy, only deepens. I pray that Mary was there to gather them all up - especially the children. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

I could not agree more with Aimee. We do not wish any ill to fall upon abortionists but must they wait for something tragic to happen to them to realize their grave mistakes?
