The Pro-Life Action League is proud to announce the launching of a new blog under the auspices of the League’s youth outreach division, Generations for Life. The new GFL Blog will feature news and commentary for pro-life teens on the life issues, with contributions from GFL Director Annie Casselman, GFL Co-Director John Jansen and League Communications Director Eric Scheidler.
The conference in Des Moines, IA Saturday was a great success. It was a privilege to be a part of the event, with my talk and a whole teen program by our own Annie Casselman and John Jansen.
Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics spoke on his effective efforts to close down abortion mills and convert the abortionists. His talk was not only informative but very entertaining.
I will be speaking in Des Moines, IA this weekend at the annual Iowa Right to Life Convention. The Convention is entitled All About Planned Parenthood and will include speakers such as Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics, George Grant, author of Grand Illusions about Planned Parenthood and Jim Sedlak of STOPP Planned Parenthood.
Happy Feast of St. Luke, who, though not one of the Apostles, wrote one of the most beautiful of the four Gospels, and is also the author of the Acts of the Apostles. Luke writes mostly for the Gentiles, leans heavily on the other Gospels but has many accounts not found in the others, but facts well known among the early Christians.
Luke is the patron saint of doctors. His Gospel is orderly and written in a classic Greek style and connects the Old Testament prophecies with Christ’s fulfillment of these.
A busy weekend on the road, first to York PA, Saturday to speak at the Tradition, Family and Property national conference where, among other events, I met a real Prince who is a direct descendant of St. Louis of France.
The ceremonies included a candlelight rosary procession and a band concert plus excellent talks by members of the TFP. I recommend their book by Plinio Correa de Olliveira, Revolution and Counter Revolution. It tells what is happening in our society today.

In March, the Pro-Life Action League’s youth outreach division, Generations for Life, held their first pro-life youth conference. The event was such a sucess that the Generations staff planned their next conference for the fall.
On Saturday, Oct. 16, the GFL Youth Leadership conference will bring together teen pro-life leaders from across the country for a day of learning, networking and renewal. Joe Scheidler will deliver a keynote address.
Since this is my hotline, I have a right to say what I want. In fact, since this hotline is a private line I am not even subject to the FCC regulations or any of the regulations that keep getting radio personalities into trouble. I’m not using the public airwaves, but you have to call my personal number to get this message.

After the recent mayhem at UIC, we were pleased to bring the Face the Truth campaign to a more supportive higher education setting for the April 21 La Salle County Face the Truth Day. The League’s Eric Scheidler traveled with son Nate to coordinate the Truth Day with Pat Wagner and Illinois Valley Citizens for Life.
The Truth Day came only a day after a devastating tornado passed through La Salle County, killing eight people at a tavern in Utica where they had sought shelter. There were some who criticized our timing, but with over 140 babies being killed in abortion facilities throughout Illinois each day, it’s never a good day to keep silent about about abortion.
The League’s youth outreach division, Generations for Life (GFL), held their first teen conference Saturday, March 13 at St. Mary of the Angels church in Chicago. The GFL Spring Conference brought together thirty teens and adult mentors from throughout Chicagoland to deepen their understanding of the pro-life message and learn how to share that message through pro-life clubs in their schools and churches.
