Posted: Wednesday November 11, 2009 at 2:01 pm EST by Judie Brownhttp://www.all.org/newsroom_judieblog.php?id=2839 The problematic nature of pandering to politicians with half-measures while announcing to pro-life troops that a victory has been achieved is not a new malady. It has been a relatively consistent pattern woven into National Right to Life Committee politics for many years now.  Having said that, the problem with what is currently being said about the Stupak Amendment to the Pelosicare bill is the most egregious I have seen in my 40 years of pro-life activism. For starters, on Saturday, November 7, NRLC sent a letter to each member...

The planet is a strange place these days where hyped political rhetoric continues to grow ever more bizarre. Take, for example, the recent comments by Adam Reilly in his article, "The Blessing of Abortion."

STEM CELL ETHICSBy Judie BrownThe good news out of Australia this week is that stem cells harvested from the noses of Parkinson's patients developed into dopamine-producing brain cells when transplanted into the brain of a lab rat. And while there has been no word about the potential for the human who is suffering from Parkinson's, there should be every reason for optimism. And as this news report makes abundantly clear, "Unlike unethical [human] embryonic stem cells – which have yielded no cures despite the investment of hundreds of millions of research dollars – these stem cells from a patient's nose do...

When I saw a column written by pro-life activist Jane Frantz in the Appleton Post-Crescent, it really took the wind out of my sails. She wrote about her epiphany in the pro-life movement following her own abortion, but she pointed out something that reminded me of the reasons why pro-lifers continue to tread water politically. Frantz opined, "After three and a half decades, I wonder how much longer we can afford to do the same things, expecting different results." Her observations about pro-lifers "authoring and defending woefully inadequate legislation" is but one of the problems we face on the political...

AN APPEAL FROM FAITHFUL CATHOLICS TO AMERICA’S BISHOPS PLEASE PROTECT THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST FROM PRO-ABORTION ‘CATHOLIC’ POLITICIANS As a faithful Catholic, I respectfully make this appeal to the Catholic bishops of the United States: WHEREAS the Church teaches that abortion is always an intrinsic evil, and; WHEREAS the Church teaches that the sacred nature of the Eucharist is worthy of every protection, and; WHEREAS the reception of the Eucharist by those who publicly support abortion gives scandal to the Catholic faithful and offends Christ; THEREFORE, we humbly implore each of you to take the actions necessary to...

WASHINGTON, DC, February 7, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - "Saving Those Damned Catholics" exposes the warts on the underbelly of the Catholic leadership in America today, and it is not a pretty picture. Too many among them are caught up in a twisted vision of what it takes to effectively lead Catholics. There is too much moral relativism and too little desire to say what is right, especially when doing so will bring down the wrath of the media and maybe even a few politicians."  So reads a teaser on the website which markets 'Saving those Damned Catholics' the new book by...

As the year comes to a close, dozens of commentaries will be written with the goal of encapsulating the entire year into a few thousand words. As I firmly believe that only a fool would attempt to condense 365 days of activity into a few paragraphs, I won't even try. My approach is to whet your appetite so that you will learn more about a particular event this past year, and in the process become committed to living out a pro-life commitment in word and deed. Over the last twelve months two of the most articulate defenders of life, and...

(AgapePress) - One of the nation's premiere pro-life leaders says a bill currently before a House committee could bring an end to abortion in America. Ironically it originated with strong sponsorship from the Republican Party -- a group she contends is not as "pro-life" as some people think.The Right to Life Act, sponsored by California Congressman Duncan Hunter, contains no exceptions for an abortion or compromises any pro-life principles, says Judie Brown of American Life League (ALL) -- and that's why she calls it "the most important piece of pro-life legislation under consideration today."H.R. 552, which now has 100...

An American pro-life leader has called for the removal of an official at the US bishops' conference who lavishly praised a deceased Jewish leader who was also a leading proponent of legal abortion. After Rabbi Balfour Brickner died on September 1, Eugene Fisher-- the associate director of ecumenical and inter-religious affairs at the US Conference of Catholic Bishops-- referred to the deceased rabbi as "one of the greatest American religious leaders of the second half of the 20th century." In addition to his prominent involvement in Jewish and inter-religious affairs, Rabbi Brickner was a founder of Religious Leaders for a...

My longtime friend Judie Brown is like a junkyard dog. She is one of the most tenacious and innovative pro-life warriors on the face of the earth today – a genuine hero of our movement. And so it is that, once again, Judy and her teams at American Life League, or ALL, and Rock for Life have conceived an excellent plan to call attention to our national abortion holocaust. It is called the Pro-life Memorial Day, and it is designed to make known to Americans the fact that abortion has terminated the lives of 46 million preborn babies. You know,...

To: National Desk Contact: Amber Dolle of the American Life League, 540-903-9572 or adolle@ALL.org LOS ANGELES, July 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- "Today's attempted arrest in Los Angeles of the student participants in American Life League's Crusade for the Defense of our Catholic Church is beyond scandalous," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "Since when is it against the law for Catholics to defend the Catholic faith at a Catholic Cathedral? We are outraged at the situation." Today's scene occurred when more than a dozen young people attempted to attend the inauguration ceremonies of Antonio Villaraigosa, mayor-elect of Los...

Guilty as charged. Yes, your honor, I unflinchingly plead guilty. Columnist Les Kinsolving called me out by name recently and said that I, as president of American Life League, was a practitioner of fetal fanaticism - and deadly extremism - all because I insist that every abortion is evil. And I offer no apologies.

"Even though the elections are now over, and politicians are no longer using the Mass as a photo op, pro-abortion Catholic public figures continue to spit in the face of the Church by supporting the heinous act of child killing while proudly taking their place in the Communion line," said American Life League president Judie Brown. "The problem has not gone away. All the bishops must take action and must do so now!" American Life League's Crusade for the Defense of Our Catholic Church has been actively exposing the scandal of pro-abortion Catholic public figures and the reception of Holy...

In a court of law, the burden of proof rests with the prosecution. They must be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused actually did commit a crime. In the court of public opinion, it is frequently the case that individuals who are accused of a crime are judged guilty regardless of the facts. Some call that bias; others label it as nothing more than ignorant. In the case of a severely disabled woman whose starvation death was ordered by a Florida judge, the court of law has not determined her guilt or innocence, because she committed...
