Recently Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards asked women to post videos on YouTube, to \u201chave their say.\u201d Fr. John Hollowell takes her up on her offer \u2013 most eloquently.<\/p>\n

In stirring yet simple language, Fr. Hollowell calls together all pro-lifers, warning Planned Parenthood and the President of our ultimate victory, and our fight for the short-term victory. He says to them:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou better knock us out now. You and the President better knock us out right now, because Cecile, I can promise you – Here comes the Catholic Church.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Very aptly, he ends his poignant monologue with the words of the wizard Gandalf, engulfed in Middle-Earth\u2019s War of the Ring: \u201cThe board is set, the pieces are now in motion, at last we come to it \u2013 the great battle of our age.\u201d<\/p>\n

The only word to describe this 7-minute speech is epic. Let the word reach Planned Parenthood, the President, and all who plot our demise \u2013 we have a say. We have the right to have a say, and we\u2019ll use it wisely.<\/p>\n
