DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

America’s Real Constitutional Crisis

Whenever
someone in the mainstream media claims that we are facing a
constitutional crisis, you can bet that chances are we are not. That is,
unless that person is talking about a constitutional right to abortion.

There
are sinister forces at large in our country—in the streets, political
circles and in our schools. This week, we look at the political side,
along with the admission by our opponents that they are using our
schools to bring about social change.

ALL’s
statement on the announcement of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s running
mate continues to appear in several news articles. This week’s STOPP
report calls out racist Planned Parenthood, and the Internet has taken
notice.

Planned Parenthood’s obsession with skin
color is a clear indicator that the largest abortion organization in the
US is racist. For example, white men are getting in the way of women’s
“reproductive decisions.” Therefore, they ought to remove themselves
from the table.

The
Covid vaccines are coming. How do you know the ethical ones from the
non-ethical ones? American Life League staff members Katie Brown and
Dwain Currier discuss the vaccine list and what makes them immoral.

There
is a unique opportunity available for college students. Although your
school is doing “distance learning,” you don’t have to do it from home.
You can actually do it while saving babies from abortion.

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
