American Life League

By Judie Brown Some years ago when American Life League was in its infancy, we came upon a concept devoted to explaining our work. We used the example of a wheel, describing the spokes in that wheel as the many different activities that comprised our movement. We noted the pregnancy care effort, the lobbying effort,… Read More »The Wheel of Life

This week, Judie discusses the fact that human physiology is not a religious tenet but the science of the study of the human body, its development, and its very existence.

By Judie Brown    The simple fact that every human being has a similar beginning as a single cell fertilized egg seems to be more than some people can comprehend. This came into stark focus when we read Professor Risa Cromer’s article entitled “Embryo Personhood’s IVF Problem: What the Data Reveals.” Cromer closes her article with… Read More »Embryo Personhood

(Photo courtesy of Jake Ciancio) By Susan Ciancio How do you want to be described as a mother? What characteristics do you hope your children will see and remember? I hope that my children first see my immense love for them. And I hope that they see this as a self-giving love that puts their… Read More »The Gift of Motherhood

By Judie Brown Recently Meghan Schrader, a defender of the rights of people with disabilities, came to my attention because of a two-part article she wrote on the fallout of using the word “retarded” to define certain members of the human family. According to Merriam-Webster, the word retarded is “dated, now offensive: affected by intellectual disability: INTELLECTUALLY DISABLED.”… Read More »R Is for Radiant

By Judie Brown The abortion pill serves a singular purpose: to kill a developing baby. But we must acknowledge that it also poses risks to the expectant mothers who take it.  The abortion pill is actually a two-pill regimen. The mother first takes mifepristone (which starves the baby to death) and then 24–48 hours later… Read More »PRO-LIFE BASICS: The Abortion Pill—Harmful to Mothers, Deadly for Babies

By Judie Brown When I saw this recent prayer petition at a daily Mass: “For all who have died or suffered because of violence,” I couldn’t help but think of all the babies who die so violently under the legal shield of medical, clinical, and chemical abortion. Considering this same thing, Father Jerry Novotny recently… Read More »Those Who Die in Violence

By Judie Brown Judicial prudence in America’s legal system often reminds us of a schizophrenic individual. Rather than being anchored in simple truths—facts that are obvious—it is politics that often, but not always, affect the decisions that judges render. The abortion pill provides a perfect example of this enigma. The Food and Drug Administration is… Read More »Judges, Women, and Justice

By John M. Grondelski Why are we embodied beings? Are bodies just receptacles, some of which might be “wrong”? Isn’t abortion just about a woman’s body? What’s a body for? In the light of reason and from a Catholic perspective, pro-life writer Stephanie Gray Connors (loveunleasheslife.com) asks these questions and insists the truth that bodies… Read More »REVIEW: My Body for You: A Pro-Life Message for a Post-Roe World

This week, Judie explains that the techniques behind dancing a foxtrot do not translate well to governing a country.

The post Pro-Life This Week – April 10, 2026 appeared first on ALL.

By Judie Brown In some circles, the foxtrot is a very popular ballroom dance because it is “adaptable to different tempos, allowing dancers to perform it to both fast-paced jazz and slower, more romantic melodies.” Anyone who has enjoyed dancing with someone who is very good at the foxtrot understands the pleasure it entails.

By Susan Ciancio Raising children who care about the well-being of siblings, classmates, friends, those who seem different, and even those they do not like takes effort, persistence, and a grounding in our Catholic faith. As parents, we want to raise our children to be compassionate, loving, generous, and so much more, but in today’s… Read More »Teach Children Pro-Life Values through the Beatitudes
