JUDIE BROWN COMMENTARY

I frequently thank God for the great minds within the pro-life movement who have to struggle with the latest announcement from scientists, particularly in the case of stem cell research.

When I was growing up my parents had a favorite saying that always irritated me.

CFFC claims to speak for Catholics throughout the country who apparently do not accept Church teaching, do not believe that abortion is an act of murder and do not want anything to impede “mainstream” thoughts and positions on the subject of reproductive rights.

Just when you think Planned Parenthood has gone about as far down the immorality ladder as it can, somebody in that organization takes another step into the abyss. And the latest from Planned Parenthood Golden Gate really trolls the bottom.

The new year barely got started when Life Site News was reminding us that the gravity of the struggle continues unabated, and without much notice from the mainstream media, we might add.

As we look forward to a new year and the challenges it presents to those of us who defend the innocent, some resolutions come to mind. I would like to share them with you

When I heard from our associate group, Pro-Life Wisconsin, that Bishop Robert Morlino of Madison had changed his position on the emergency contraception bill currently before the Wisconsin state legislature, my enthusiasm level increased about 200 percent.

We note that while all of us at American Life League took the time to celebrate the birth of Christ with our families and loved ones, others were busy promoting, affirming and otherwise advancing the culture of death.

At the risk of reading too much into polling data, I couldn’t help but notice that some recent surveys offer much to ponder when it comes to Americans’ attitudes about abortion.

The country of Croatia has witnessed something extraordinary. Between 1989 and 2005, for which the latest statistics are available, the abortion rate has declined from 51,289 to 4,563. A remarkable 90 percent drop, praise God.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is once again attempting to hijack medical ethics. Because of ACOG’s history of mass deception, which I will detail in the paragraphs to follow, this latest action should not have surprised me.

While many are celebrating the Congressional passage of a bill that contains the Mexico City Policy, there are those of us who are not so quick to throw a party.
