| John
Regan has been involved in the pro-life movement since 1973.
Following the infamous Roe
v/s Wade decision which legalized abortion, John managed the election campaign
of a New York pro-life attorney who was seeking to unseat a town judge
on Long Island. Back then most Americans were inherently pro-life, but
in a foreshadowing of things to come, too few came out to vote. The challenger
lost the race and the culture of death was born in that part of the world.
In 1974 John sold his dry
cleaning business and with his wife Joan and three children moved to Florida
. The plan was to reenter the broadcasting business in which he had served
for several years as a television weather man and radio news broadcaster.
Unfortunately most "on air talent" employed in Florida rarely sought positions
elsewhere preferring to "stay put" and live the "good life." Consequently
John purchased a large dry cleaning business and made Florida his permanent
home.
A few years later, after
answering an ad in his church’s bulletin, he found himself working as a
volunteer in prison ministry. Along with a dedicated group of co-workers,
he frequently visited inmates in the county jail and regional prison. A
few months passed and he was elected president. Three years later the Catholic
Diocese Of Palm Beach was born and John along with his fellow volunteers
disbanded their group and offered their services as volunteers with the
Office of Prison Ministry. Ultimately he was asked by the Diocese to form
a permanent program for inmates at the County Jail. During this time he
continued to distribute pro-life literature in public places and occasionally
prayed out side abortion clinics with other pro-lifers. Eventually he joined
Palm Beach County Right To Life League Inc and a year later was elected
president. Now, with most of his time spent writing, he continues to serve
in the office of vice president.
Since 1990 John has been
writing religious books and two years ago perceived the need to address
the most infrequently mentioned aspect of abortion; forgiveness. Forgiveness
for the poor souls involved.
Return of the Children is
a message to all souls that have been involved in abortion, and all those
who are considering it. The message is clear;
"God loves you. If you have
been involved in abortion He forgives you. If you are considering abortion,
He is here to help you choose life for your child. All that is necessary
is repentance and acceptance of His mercy. His healing awaits you."
John Regan will continue,
with millions of pro-life Americans, to reach out to those in need and
help them see that all life is sacred. He may be contacted at johnr@truevine.net
