In a world teeming with immorality, we desperately need a way to guide our children down the path toward God. American Life League will show you how.

In the 1992 movie My Cousin Vinny there is a scene where Vinny (Joe Pesci) is getting ready to go hunting. His fiancée, Mona Lisa (Marisa Tomei), is upset because he might kill a deer. Vinny keeps asking her what pants he should wear. In frustration, Lisa finally responds.
Vatican representative Cardinal Peter Turksen made statements in an interview with the BBC alluding to Birth Control and the use of natural means to regulate births as a tool to address environmental challenges. This is the antithesis of the birth control mentality and is not compatible with a view that natural family planning is mere birth control. Clarification of his comments are needed before grave damage is done in the public arena and Catholic people are led to believe that the Church is promoting birth control by any name.
When voters speak, abortion supporters lose.
Several states have either passed or are near passing new laws that would effectively bar Planned Parenthood (sometimes by name) from receiving government money—including Medicaid reimbursements.
The disposable mentality of our society had permeated into all areas of life, and now we see that even the sick or terminally ill are thought of in this way. How have we become a society that just wants to get rid of those whom we find it difficult to care for?
What is covered with fur, lives either in the wild or in a zoo, and has no soul? If you answered that it’s the latest species to be protected over humans, then you would be correct! How is it that we have come to live in a world where animals are given more rights than human beings created in the image and likeness of God?
We’ve heard a lot about excessive force lately. But, in reality, those who fight day in and day out for preborn babies know all too well another meaning of excessive force. We see each and every day the slaughter of countless babies, yet this lawful practice is allowed to continue. What can be worse than excessive force perpetrated upon the smallest and most innocent of all?
Cardinals and other clergy must lead by example, for when they do not, confusion reigns. If we do not see Church leaders standing up for Church doctrine, how can we have the strength to do so? Instead of a good example, these men only become fodder for those who either choose not to do as the Church teaches or who are ignorant about the teachings.
Love the sinner, hate the sin. That is something we are taught from the time we are children. But, in today’s society, we are now taught to tolerate the sin, embrace the sin, or even advocate for the sin. If we dare to mention that a type of behavior is sinful, we are castigated and branded intolerant. As we regularly see, Catholic clergy often do not give voice to God’s word and God’s will. Consequently, we now live in a society where it is the peoples will that rules. Why have we silenced God?
A young child’s life is threatened. Her family is devastated and suffering. Imagine the possibility of losing a child something no family should ever go through. And then imagine having to fight in court for her life. Today’s commentary explains what happened next.
