May I add number 11?
11. Work to provide girls and women a true choice. Support agencies that provide alternatives to abortion, such as adoption and keeping the child. If a women sins and has an abortion make sure she can find forgiveness through Christ.

An excellent suggestion. Years ago — nearly 30, I believe, a pastor in this area opened one house for unwed mothers so that they would have a choice. There are now four homes, totally supported by donations. And to top that off — the priest was just elevated from priest to monsignor by Pope Benedict XVI.
There was some controversy back when he started this, and his name was taken off of our parish Hall. We are working to get his name re-installed and to start calling our hall by the dedicated name.
