On the Action News Hotline and our home page we announced that on Christmas Eve at noon we would be caroling at Fire Station No. 7 of the Glenview, IL, since the village officials had ordered the fire fighters to take down all their Christmas decorations in response to a complaint from a local Grinch.
We had about a dozen pro-lifers singing with us and then we delivered a small tree, a fireman Santa complete with fireman’s helmet and hose, and various assortments of cookies to the firemen in the de-decorated headquarters. We also held figures of Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus
Update: The Christmas caroling at Glenview Fire Station No. 7 went great. The group was received warmly by the fire fighters, to whom they gave a Santa Claus Fireman figurine. Several local media outlets were present, and the caroling was featured on NBC Channel 5 News and in the Chicago Tribune’s Metro section.
A coalition of concerned citizens will gather at the Glenview Fire Station at 3507 Glenview Road at noon on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, to sing Christmas carols and stand in solidarity with the Glenview firefighters who were forced to remove their indoor Christmas decorations because some neighbors found a Christmas tree and Santa Claus “offensive.”
Despite all the craziness surrounding us this Christmas, there seems to be more spirituality this Christmas than last year. While agents of the material mentality try to remove all semblance of Christ’s birth-in-time, the celebration goes on and Christ is very present this Christmas.

The Pro-Life Action League and fifty volunteers from around Chicagoland faced bracing cold to sing Christmas carols at four abortion clinics in the first “Empty Manger” Christmas Caroling Day, Saturday, Dec. 20. The caroling day began at Albany abortion mill on the northwest side of Chicago and concluded at the recently closed Concord facility on Grand Ave. downtown.
The Pro-Life Action League and volunteers from around the Chicago area will visit abortion clinics throughout Chicago to sing Christmas carols on Saturday, December 20. The “Empty Manger” Christmas Caroling Day will memorialize all those unborn babies who will never “lay down their sweet heads” because they were aborted during the Christmas season, when we celebrate the birth of baby Jesus.
Last call to join our five-abortion mill Empty Manger Christmas Caroling party this Saturday, December 20, starting at 9 a.m. at Albany Killing Center at Cicero and Elston in Chicago. You can meet us at any of the five stops.
Everyone who loves Life should at least show up for a gala Alleluia Chorus at boarded-up Concord Medical Center at 17 West Grand Ave. at 12:15 p.m. to celebrate the closing of one of America’s most notorious and long-running death camps.
If you read this Action News Hotline before 4 p.m. Tuesday tune in WBBM local CBS-TV for an interview with Ann Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League, on a proposal to sell morning after pills over the counter without a doctor’s prescription, now being discussed in Washington.
Ann’s answer is that these abortifacients-contraceptives give women the wrong message about themselves, marriage, sex, and human life. These emergency contraceptives, as they are called, suggest that no woman wants the inconvenience and burden of a child, and this mentality of mother against child is bad for women, bad for children, bad for society, bad for everyone.
League National Director Joseph M. Scheidler submitted the following Letter to the Editor to the local press following the death of former Senator from Illinois Paul Simon:
Having read myriads of eulogies about former Senator Paul Simon, and all the good work he did as a public official, and having stored them all away in my Paul Simon file, I offer a footnote that may interest your readers.
During the Christmas holiday season we will be doing only two Action News Hotlines each week on Tuesday and Thursday. Starting Monday, January 5 we will return to three messages a week, to be recorded on Monday, Wednesday and Friday as usual.
We are reading of yet another submerged car drowning of innocent children by a mother who pretended their deaths were an accident, in the mode of Susan Smith, the South Carolina mother who claimed her children had been abducted but later confessed to drowning them in her car.
