Déjà vu All Over Again

Posted by Corrina Gura (March 8, 2010 at 2:34 pm)

gosnell1Even organizations that support abortion are criticizing Kermit Gosnell’s “CHOICE” abortion clinic. It seems they are even supporting laws that would force clinics to clean up a bit (good for them!).

Since it is often “pro-choice” politicians who prevent laws from being enacted to regulate abortion clinics (for fear of angering “pro-choice” interest groups who give big campaign donations), I take this as a good sign. [Continue reading ...]

This week our office received two sad, but not overly surprising, phone calls.

The first was from Ginny, a Prayer Warrior and Sidewalk Counselor at Planned Parenthood in Aurora. She called to report that an ambulance had driven into the parking lot on Saturday, February 13 around 11:30 a.m. Four medics went in to the clinic for a time, but they ended up coming out without a patient.

Then, on today’s voice mail, we received word that a pro-life friend, Anthony, spotted an ambulance from Superior Ambulance company leaving Family Planning Associates, Albany Medical-Surgical Center on Thursday, February 18, around 6:30 p.m. Since Albany does its abortions in the morning, it appears they kept this woman for many hours before finally deciding to call for medical help.

Charges Dropped Against Maryland Pro-Lifers

Posted by Corrina Gura (August 19, 2008 at 12:49 pm)

In case you haven’t yet heard, all charges against the 18 pro-life activists in Maryland have been dropped.

Charges Dropped Against 18 Pro-Life Activists in Maryland

Jack Ames, the director of Defend Life, said in his interview with LifeSiteNews: “This decision by the State of Maryland to drop the charges shows that our side of the story was the true story…There were no traffic jams. There were no people running in and out of traffic. There was no refusal to disperse. They plainly and simply violated our First Amendment rights!”

League Endorses Second Annual Conference on Men and Abortion

Posted by League Staff (August 18, 2008 at 12:54 pm)

Reclaiming Fatherhood: A Multifaceted Examination of Men Dealing with Abortion—only the second ever international conference of its kind—will be held in Oak Brook, IL on September 8-9, 2008. The Pro-Life Action League encourages all pro-lifers to join the League’s delegation in attending the event to learn more about the all too often overlooked effects of abortion on fathers.

Sad man

Outreach to Post-Abortive Fathers Crucial

Among other topics, “Reclaiming Fatherhood” will examine the impact a male can have on a woman’s abortion decision, the current research findings on how abortion psychologically affects men, and men’s spiritual growth as it pertains to the process of healing. Some current models for outreach to post-abortive fathers will also be presented.

Pro-Life Students Sue School for Discrimination

Posted by John Jansen (April 8, 2008 at 3:16 pm)

The apparent lack of familiarity with basic First Amendment rights on the part of college administrators continues to raise the ire of pro-lifers. Most recently, the University of Maryland-Baltimore County tried to push around pro-life students, and now the students are fighting back with a lawsuit in U.S. District Court.

Christ is risen! Indeed He is risen!

Posted by John Jansen (March 24, 2008 at 4:02 pm)

During this Easter Week, we pro-lifers take special consolation in the celebration of Jesus’ Resurrection from the dead. Not only is it the central event of our faith life, but it also provides us with great encouragement in our ongoing battle against abortion.

By conquering death, Jesus has also conquered abortion. Because of this, we know that the outcome of the struggle that we carry on, this seemingly endless conflict between life and death, has already been decided.

Posted by Joe Scheidler (March 10, 2008 at 4:07 pm)

Planned Parenthood Takes Money to Kill Black Babies

William F. Buckley has died at age 82. A paragon of American conservatism, Buckley died Wednesday morning at his desk.

William F. Buckley, 1925-2008

Of the copious tributes that have been written since his death, I will quote but one from Dallas Morning News columnist Rod Dreher, who at one time worked for Buckley:

LA Times Reports Abortion Atrocities

Posted by John Jansen (February 12, 2008 at 5:01 pm)

Credit should be given where credit is due, and credit is due to the Los Angeles Times for its article on Friday chronicling some astonishing horrors having taken place in a chain of abortion clinics in Southern California managed by one Bertha Bugarin.
