American Life League, America’s oldest Catholic grassroots pro-life organization, joins Children of God for Life in the call against efforts in California to remove religious exemptions for vaccination. ALL opposes the use of fetal cell lines in the creation of certain vaccines, such as the rubella portion of the MMR vaccine.
The innocent, the hurting, the sick, or anyone crying for help should immediately evoke love and compassion. We should reach out to them, not shun them, not kill them. They were given to us to care for, and care for them we must. To do anything else is simply barbaric.
There is a great deal of mis-information about the birth control pill. Many of the myths will be cleared up in this week’s featured video.
Dr. Angela Lanfranchi is a breast surgeon and clinical assistant professor of surgery at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Dr. Lanfranchi heads up the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute, and gives a riveting presentation of the scientific proof of how the birth control pill (hormonal contraception) kills.
Sunday, June 7, 2015, will be the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Griswold decision that legalized contraception throughout the United States and found the right to privacy in sexual matters in the penumbra (shadows) of the U.S. Constitution.
May is “Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month,” and we can all expect to be bombarded with messages that our children need to be “responsible” when they engage in sexual activity. Just this week, a CNN article blamed parents for the fact that teenagers don’t use birth control as frequently as the birth control industry thinks they should. The article quoted a survey taken by The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. That survey reportedly found that 68 percent of teens said they agreed with the statement that the primary reason why they don’t use birth control or protection is because they’re afraid their parents will find out.
LifeNews referenced American Life League in a story concerning free speech rights at abortion facilities. ALL president Judie Brown was quoted in the article.
CBS Los Angeles mentioned American Life League’s stance that “despite being created in a laboratory, a frozen embryo is also ‘created by God’ and ‘has a soul’ and that allowing such embryos to ‘thaw’ and be destroyed is tantamount to ‘murder.’”

Nobody needs to write anything to demonstrate that Dr. Saunders’ mission, in serving the public through her hospice and palliative care work, was absolutely founded upon religious faith.
Science fiction was once just that-fiction. They were stories meant to frighten us, to make us wary of what the future might hold. Well, now we seem to be living that future. And we should be very worried.

Working at American Life League, I frequently encounter one of two reactions when I talk to someone else about where I work.

Catholic bishops must lead by both word and example. Silence can show complicity; silence can show agreement. Bishops and other clergy must speak in defense of our faith each and every day. Lives and souls depend upon this.
This week, the legislature in the state of Michigan added a restriction to the state’s budget bill which states that any organization-like Planned Parenthood-that allows abortions will not be able to receive any state funding. In the past, Planned Parenthood received as much as $700,000 from the state. Although the legislators have shut that money down, the language in the budget bill will prevent any government official from circumventing the will of the legislature and of the citizens of Michigan.
