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.

ALL's Pro-Life This Week 11/6/2020

Featured Commentary

A Quiver Full of Deadly Arrows

Can anyone forget that well-publicized statement flowing from the treacherous lips of pro-abortion Catholic Speaker Pelosi when she threatened to stop the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Barrett: “We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now”?

Week in Review

So... how bad is it? Although we do not yet know who will be president for the next four years, there are signs of small progress and hope for the babies as we look at the congressional situation after the elections.

ALL in the News

This week’s STOPP report was distributed to a list of tens of thousands of readers and discussed the undecided presidential election. American Life League continues to stay in the news with multiple weekly videos and correspondence.

Pro-Life Social Media

If preborn babies could vote, surely they would vote pro-life. But babies can’t vote, so we have to do it on their behalf, as millions of registered voters are already doing.

Video of the Week

Pro-life advocates concerned about foreign human DNA in vaccines have been slammed by the abortion cartel and its media spokespersons as anti-vax. Accept that pro-life advocates don’t oppose vaccines, just the ones that involve the remains of dead babies.

Action Item of the Week

What do red roses and saving babies from abortion have in common? We will be discussing exactly that topic in this week’s action item. We will tell you how you can find out all you want to know about this life-saving technique.

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.”
