Today a jury in Wichita, Kansas took only 37 minutes to find Scott Roeder guilty of first degree murder for shooting abortionist George Tiller back on May 31. Along with every other major pro-life organization, the Pro-Life Action League swiftly condemned Tiller’s murder. There is no place for violence in our peaceful movement to restore respect for the lives of unborn babies.
Shortly after the verdict was announced, I received a call from CBS radio asking for comments, and I’d like to share those reflections here.
Walter Krawiec, seated center, passed away at the age of 88
One of the last, few, truly Renaissance men died peacefully Saturday at Our Lady of the Resurrection Hospital. He died from a heart attack and complications of pneumonia. Walter Krawiec was 88 years old.
Despite his many talents, commissioned paintings, travel, and deep interest in music, Walter found time to spend every Thursday morning praying at the Albany Medical-Surgical Center with a group of pro-life activists. [Continue reading ...]

Planned Parenthood is caught in the act again.
Students for Life of America has released yet another video expose of PP staffers violating federal laws. Two young women, posing as 15 year old girls, went to Planned Parenthood clinics in North Carolina to ask for the “Morning After” pill.

In both instances PP workers told the girl that this was statutory rape and they must, under North Carolina law, report it.
Barack Obama shocked the nation in March when he told us at a town hall meeting: “I’ve got two daughters if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at the age of 16.”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day and Happy St. Joseph’s Day, and Happy Palm Sunday.
While the whole pro-life, Christian nation is praying for Terri Schiavo, to be granted a stay of execution, former Democrat nominee for President John Kerry was putting out a emergency plea to save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Thirty years ago this week, the Chicago Sun-Times began running its eye-opening “Abortion Profiteers” series, which exposed notoriously despicable conditions at Chicago area abortion clinics.
