One of the things the pro-abortionist like to say is that Catholics do not care about the person after they are born. There are hundreds of actions such as this, although not as large, in which the Church provides for those who cannot help themselves, with no questions asked.

About 300 other adults were turned away over two days because of the overwhelming demand for dental care at the Mid-Maryland Mission of Mercy clinic. The clinic, at St. Vincent Pallotti High School, was sponsored by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington and the Maryland Office of Oral Health.
Many of those who waited in long lines at the clinic said they couldn’t afford the high price of dental care. Even those who had insurance said rising out-of-pocket costs made it unaffordable for them to have their teeth cleaned, cavities filled or root canals performed.
More than 400 volunteers — about half of them dentists, hygienists, oral surgeons and others in the field — provided more than $750,000 worth of care over the two days, according to Deacon Jim Nalls of Catholic Charities. The work ranged from basic cleanings to root canals and wisdom teeth extractions, Nalls said.

For me, there are questions that I don't have an answer for:
1. Will any of those who received treatment, donate anything for future clinics. I am not saying that they need to pay $2500 for the $2500 worth of treatment they received but can they afford to kick-in $200 or $300 to help defray the costs?
2. How many of these people will attack the church over homosexuality, abortion, etc.
3. If they are anti-Catholic, will this change their minds about the Church. (Yes, I know we do this not because we are out to change hearts and minds, but simply because it is the right thing to do.)
4. This story should be used as a reminder of how the Church is pro-life over and over again.
