Editor’s Note: Patrick McKay’s letter criticizing IVF provides a good example of what we all ought to be doing on a regular basis, namely, challenging articles and op-eds written from an anti-life perspective. Good job, Patrick!

Dear Sir,

I am writing further to the article in the 8th-21st November edition of ‘Engineering & Technology’.

Excuse my world-weary scepticism about this creepy old stuff, but I can see a parallel here with IVF (in-vitro fertilization) techniques. It may not be common knowledge, but some 50% of frozen human embryos do not survive the freeze/thaw process. A further 25% are so badly damaged by it that they are deemed ‘unusable’. All of these end up poured down the laboratory sink.

IVF is a very wasteful procedure, with only about three live births out of every 100 laboratory-conceived human embryos. Studies (notably one carried out in Sweden) indicate that IVF children also have a higher incidence of abnormalities such as Down’s syndrome and spina bifida.

We simply cannot interfere with nature with impunity, as any engineer worth his salt would tell you.

I prayed and kept Our Lord company 26 straight hours in Eucharistic adoration. Thank you 100% for all your pro-life work.

I heard your interview with Barbara McGuigan on Catholic Radio! Your work is critically needed! Thank you and God bless you, Steve.

Dear Mr. Mosher:

I commend you and the PRI for the valiant work you do. My prayers are with you.

Dear Steven,

All good wishes and prayers for the continued success of your work to save lives in the womb, around the world.

May God give us the grace one day soon to see the end of the slaughter of the innocents in the womb.

God’s blessings on you and your family

Gordon R.., California

Dear Mr. Mosher:

I received your excellent Review on World Population and I wish first of all to congratulate you on the great dedication you have toward this important issue. Keep it up!

Most Rev. Ambrose Ravasi, IMC, Marsabit, Kenya


Dear Steve,

Thanks so much for being with me on my EWTN radio show, “The Good Fight!” You really did a fantastic job! There were so many other things I wanted to cover. My producer said the phones were ringing off the hook those last 40 minutes. I’ll call you after the new year to set up another future date. There really aren’t other pro-lifers who are capable of speaking the truths you speak quite as eloquently. 🙂 God has given you a great gift.

Thanks again, and God keep you,

Barbara McGuigan, “The Good Fight”


Dear Sir,

It is a great joy for us to forward to you an author’s copy of the book “Family – Springtime for Europe and the World,” a record of the achievements of the IV World Congress of Families, which was held in Warsaw, Poland, May 11-13, 2007.

We are thankful for your kind permission to have the text of your address translated and published.

We sincerely hope that the book “Family – Springtime for Europe and the World” will contribute to the spread of the civilization of love and life, one favorable to the family.

We wish to thank you again for you cooperation in this work.

Fr. Jaroslaw Szymczak, President of the Fundacja Pomoc Rodzinie, POLAND


Thank you for the beautiful presentation featuring the humble lay people of Papua New Guinea and their bishop as shown on EWTN several weeks ago. These beautiful people are converting me to genuine Catholic beliefs. Strange how it is that another culture is aware of God’s truth . . . they seem to “get it right”!

God bless you and your associates for your fine work.

Stan E., Michigan


Dear Fr. Marx and Steve Mosher:

We want to thank and support you for all you do in your work to save babies and mothers and fathers and to wake up our world to the horrors of abortion.

God bless you and protect you in all you do.

Mrs. Sally S. and Miss Barbara J..


Dear Mr. Mosher:

Thank you for allowing me to be one of the many who oppose abortion.

May God bless your efforts to save God’s “Holy Innocents”!

Tina B., California


Dear PRI Staff,

We appreciate your dedication and efforts to promote the Right to Life throughout the world. May God bless you this coming year!
