The Pro-Life Action League invites you to join us in boycotting PepsiCo.
Good tasting beverages should not in any way be developed from the cells of aborted babies. Until Pepsi acknowledges this and drops all ties with Senomyx, pro-lifers must stop buying all Pepsi products.
Children of God for Life (COGFL), an organization devoted to identifying ethical and unethical vaccines, medicines, and other products, discovered in late March a disgusting use of aborted fetal tissue: [Continue reading ...]
As the election draws nearer, we need to continue to remind our friends and family that abortion must remain at the forefront of their minds. Abortion has a terrible impact on society and on individuals that cannot be ignored.
Nat Hentoff writes of his conversion to the prolife movement, which occurred while he was reporting on the “Babies Doe” cases (in which the parents of newborn babies with spina bifida and Down’s Syndrome were seeking the right to kill their children by starvation and dehydration) when he heard this procedure referred to as a “late abortion.” He began to see the connection between caring for the born and caring for the unborn. He says,
for the first time, I began to pay attention to the “slippery slope” warnings of pro-lifers… Because abortion had become legal and easily available, that argument ran—as you well know—infanticide would eventually become openly permissible, to be followed by euthanasia for infirm, expensive senior citizens. And then… I saw…Australian bio-ethicist Peter Singer assert that the slope was not slippery at all, but rather a logical throughway once you got to it.
It was inevitable, but it’s still sad. No, not the death and funeral of pop star Michael Jackson—but the increased funding for embryonic stem cell research that (coincidentally I’m sure) has been forced off the front page.
Only those stem cells derived from tiny babies whose parents created—and then rejected—them can be used under the new guidelines—the so-called “excess embryos.” Also included are lines created under other circumstances that fit “the spirit” of this new requirement. Whatever that means.
We are adding an extra day to this hotline to get us through the Nov. 4 elections and we will include our observations on Wednesday’s Action News. Meanwhile, pray!
We have never seen so much ecclesiastical involvement in an election as there is in this one. While not mentioning candidates by name, the Church Hierarchy has made it clear that candidates in either or any party who support abortion cannot be voted for by practicing Catholics, without those Catholics incurring guilt (see, for example, what Bishop Martino and Cardinal George have written).

I would like to ask for your prayers for two priests in the diocese of Peoria, Illinois. Being a priest is such a hard job to begin with. Then, instead of taking the easy path and only preaching homilies on “safe” topics, these two priests spoke about abortion.

Recent Pro-Life Action League Truth Tours and some long and intense discussions with other pro-life activists reaffirm and make more evident to me that pro-lifers must adopt the use of graphic pictures as a major, perhaps the major weapon we must use to bring an end to abortion in America.
You may remember a recent hotline where we talked about Monica Miller’s astonishing find of aborted babies and confidential patient records in the dumpsters at an abortion clinic in suburban Detroit run by notorious abortionist Alberto Hodari.
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.
Congressman Henry J. Hyde of Illinois is dead. The man who became famous as a pro-life leader for his sponsorship of the 1976 Hyde Amendment that cut off most federal funding of abortions, died at 2:30 a.m. Thursday after suffering ill health for the past year.
