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.

Featured Commentary

Trump, Biden, and Love!

Cursing the darkness or waiting for someone else to take up the cause, especially if that someone is a politician like Trump or Biden, is never a good idea.

Week in Review

America was founded on principles of free people who could look to their religious leaders and elected officials to protect their basic rights. This year, we are witnessing both these groups backing away from their responsibilities.

ALL in the News

This week, American Life League officials were featured in several big-name media outlets. The attention came after ALL released a press statement slamming the USCCB for congratulating pro-abortion “Catholic” Joe Biden.

Pro-Life Social Media

Pro-abortion/leftist magazine, The Atlantic, has published a cover story titled “The Last Children of Down Syndrome.” Its author interviewed post-abortive mothers in Denmark, where prenatal screening is given to every pregnant mother.

Video of the Week

Every Christmas season, the Salvation Army unleashes its hordes of red buckets in the hopes that holiday shoppers will empty their pockets of loose change. Despite the SA’s admission that “human life is sacred,” it abandons this principle when it comes to preborn human life.

Action Item of the Week

We fight against abortion every day. The lives of the 800,000+ preborn human beings who die from surgical and medical abortions are so important. This month, the country celebrates a specific alternative to abortion. Please help spread the word.

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.”
