Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life received the very first copy and had this to say about Sharing the Pro-Life Message:
I’m proud to say that I got one of the very first copies of Sharing the Pro-Life Message, and I think it’s one of the most useful pro-life tools I’ve seen. I recommend that every pro-lifer keep one handy for that inevitable situation when you get the chance to share the truth about abortion and win another soul for the culture of life.

Joe Scheidler shared the stage and the dance floor with Jack and Barbara Willke, David Bereit, Bobby Schindler, Jill Stanek, Brian Gail, Janet Smith, Lila Rose and Fr. Tom Euteneur. Fr. Tom claimed that he had a dispensation that allowed him to stay off the dance floor. [Continue reading ...]

By now you’ve surely heard that this Saturday, January 30, a coalition of Illinois pro-life groups will be hosting the annual SpeakOut Illinois conference.
Then you’ll also know that three excellent speakers will be sharing their experiences and stories with us:
The Walk for Life West Coast is just the kind of pro-life event I like to see—people taking action out on the streets of America to stand up for life. I pray that the Walk will be a great success, and bring many more people actively into the movement.Pro-lifers in San Francisco gather around tourist landmarks like Fisherman's Wharf [Photo by Dan Gura]
—Joe Scheidler, National Director, Pro-Life Action League
On Saturday, January 23rd, my son, Tony, and I joined over 30,000 in answering Joe’s prayer. Yes, Joe, the Walk was a great success.
Unlike previous years, the sky over San Francisco was pregnant with rain when we arrived…yet thousands were already waiting at Justin Herman Plaza to hear the speakers.

Besides being probably the largest Pro-Life March in Washington to commemorate the January 22, 1973 U. S. Supreme Court’s unconstitutional rulings that legalized child-killing in America, this year’s 37th annual March for Life afforded many opportunities to advance our cause.
There were meetings, seminars, planning sessions, talks, discussions, and even the scheduling of numerable new programs to be launched in 2010.
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 ...]
Today the Pro-Life Action League launched a newly designed website. The most striking feature of the new site is an exciting new design, but the most significant change is the incorporation of a new blog.
The new “Pro-Life Hotline Blog”—named with a nod to my father Joe Scheidler’s call-in newsline—will allow the League staff to offer pro-life news and commentary more quickly and effectively than ever before. It will also allow visitors to the site to comment on pro-life issues.

Chicago’s RedEye, a daily newspaper aimed at young professionals, ran a story Wednesday, December 23, entitled The Abortion Debate: It’s Personal by Leonor Vivanco.
The story examines current opinions on abortion from the perspective of college students and young professionals. The story quotes League projects coordinator Corrina Gura and assistant communications director Matt Yonke. Corrina’s photo was also used for the cover, which can be seen at the right.
Chicago, Dec. 15—The Pro-Life Action League will hold its seventh annual “Empty Manger” Christmas Caroling Day on Saturday, December 19. Two caroling tours will take place, one visiting four Chicago abortion facilities and one visiting four in DuPage County.
“The Christmas story is a story of hope and joy brought into the world by a newborn baby,” said League communications director Eric Scheidler. “We want abortion-bound mothers in Chicago and the western suburbs to know that their unborn babies are a gift, too.”
