Pro-Life Catholics Must Work to Change the Hearts of Pro-Abortion Catholic Politicians

By Judie Brown Living in a world where parents are lauded for killing their preborn son because he might have Down syndrome reminds me of the enormity of the devil’s grip on mankind.

PRO-LIFE BASICS: The Abortion Pill—Harmful to Mothers, Deadly for Babies

By Judie Brown The abortion pill serves a singular purpose: to kill a developing baby. But we must acknowledge that it also poses risks to the expectant mothers who take it.

Those Who Die in Violence

By Judie Brown When I saw this recent prayer petition at a daily Mass: “For all who have died or suffered because of violence,” I couldn’t help but think of all the babies who die so violently under the legal shield of medical, clinical, and chemical abortion.

Judges, Women, and Justice

By Judie Brown Judicial prudence in America’s legal system often reminds us of a schizophrenic individual. Rather than being anchored in simple truths—facts that are obvious—it is politics that often, but not always, affect the decisions that judges render. The abortion pill provides a perfect example of this enigma. The Food and Drug Administration is… Read More » Judges, Women, and Justice The post Judges, Women, and Justice appeared first on ALL .

REVIEW: My Body for You: A Pro-Life Message for a Post-Roe World

By John M. Grondelski Why are we embodied beings? Are bodies just receptacles, some of which might be “wrong”? Isn’t abortion just about a woman’s body? What’s a body for?

Teach Children Pro-Life Values through the Beatitudes

By Susan Ciancio Raising children who care about the well-being of siblings, classmates, friends, those who seem different, and even those they do not like takes effort, persistence, and a grounding in our Catholic faith.

A Legal, Lethal Torpedo

By Judie Brown A naval torpedo looks like a long, round bullet. Mifepristone, the abortion pill, looks similar but without the pointed nose. Both are instruments designed to cause maximum damage and death. While feminists roar about the necessity of having such a weapon to kill preborn children, we shudder in horror.

Changing Hearts and Minds: How to Reach the Abortion-Minded Mother

By Rachel Carrington “Pro-life” is a controversial term among abortion advocates. Since pro-lifers advocate for the protection of human beings from the first moment of their creation, we are often called “forced birthers” or “anti-woman.” We are told we care only about babies and not about the lives and well-being of their mothers.
