Catholic Fire

American Life League president Judie Brown will appear on EWTN’s “The World Over” with Raymond Arroyo to discuss health care reform with Catholic Health Association president Sr. Carol Keehan on Friday, August 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET. When American Life League exposed the Catholic Health Association’s campaign i n support of President Obama’s healthcare plan, Brown and Keehan were thrown into opposite sides of a contentious debate. “Simply put, Catholics cannot support healthcare that includes killing,” Brown said. “The Obama plan includes a mandate for tax-subsidized abortion, euthanasia, contraception, rationed care and sex education. Where is social justice in that? Where is the mercy, love and compassion for the weakest in society?” American Life League exposed the scandal when Catholic Health Association, Catholic Charities and the St. Vincent de Paul Society joined together to support “healthcare reform now.” Their campaign included action alerts to call Congress is support of hea...

Washington, DC (03 August 2009) – American Life League president Judie Brown called on three of the top Catholic charitable organizations to condemn the Obama healthcare plan in the wake of an emerging scandal. Catholic Charities USA, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and the Catholic Health Association are urging their members to support “healthcare reform now,” i.e. current legislation that includes tax-subsidized abortion and rationed care for the sick and elderly. ALL was alerted to the scandal when supporters passed along an action alert issued jointly by Catholic Charities and the De Paul Society, in which they tell members and supporters, [W]e must maintain momentum for health care reform efforts with calls and emails supporting health care reform immediately. The groups that do not support health reform have been blanketing House members in opposition to any reform. Your members of Congress need to hear from you that you support health care reform, and that the system needs t...

A propaganda video against Personhood initiatives is making the pro-abortion rounds, and American Life League is right there to point out the omissions, inconsistencies, and outright lies being pushed by abortion advocates.

The Obama administration is floating the notion of common ground with the pro-life community in order to reduce the number of abortions. Or so he says. But as a magician uses smoke and mirrors to confuse the audience, Obama is using speeches and misdirection to cover up what he is REALLY doing, which is to increase Planned Parenthood's funding so they can kill babies.

Washington, D.C. – Planned Parenthood will use St. Valentine’s Day to push contraceptive and abortion sales with its National Condom Week. “Half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unintended and half of those happen because of failed contraception,” said Marie Hahnenberg, a researcher for American Life League. “Planned Parenthood is once again pushing sex on our kids with this condom promotion.” Beginning Feb. 14, Planned Parenthoods across the country are offering condom e-cards, condom coasters, and condom-inspired drag shows among other ways to promote sale of its products. “Valentine's Day is supposed to be a celebration of life and love – not a marketing scheme to sell more condoms to kids,” said Hahnenberg. “Valentine’s Day 2009 is being used by Planned Parenthood to profit off the sex culture it has created at colleges, high schools and even middle schools around the country.” While abortion makes up a third of Planned Parenthood’s clinic income, 55 percent comes from the s...

Washington, DC – Judie Brown, president of American Life League, issued a statement today in response to an interview in which Archbishop Raymond Burke, prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, the Vatican's highest court, stated: "There's not a question that a Catholic who publicly, and after admonition, supports pro-abortion legislation is not to receive Holy Communion and is not to be given Holy Communion … This is a law of the universal Church and it should be applied." About the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Archbishop Burke commented: "I think this argument [that this matter should be decided by the USCCB] too is being used by people who don't want to confront the issue, this whole "wait 'til the Conference decides"...well the Conference has been discussing this since at least 2004. And nothing happens… Individual bishops and priests simply have to do their duty.They have to confront politicians, Catholic politicians, who are s...

Via my email today: Because of the wide-spread attention you gave our ALL Report on Planned Parenthood's DISGUSTING website , the story made its way onto the main-stream media. You can see our ALL report on it here and here. The resulting bad publicity forced Planned Parenthood to remove ALL of the offensive videos! This is the New Media in action! When you draw as much attention as you did to the nastiness of Planned Parenthood, the drive-by media can no longer ignore what's going on. Kudos to all of you for making this a big deal, and Glory be to God for His grace, aiding in our struggle. We will be sending out a press release on this soon, which we will forward on to all of you. Keep up the good fight. We forced the enemy to retreat, now let's press on! God Bless you all, and thank you for everything you do for the babies! ~Michael (Hitchborn) of American Life League.

Washington, D.C. (29 July 2008) – The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Women, Infants and Children program, designed to provide needy moms and young children with nutritious foods and health care referrals, is referring those same moms and kids to Planned Parenthood. "It is absolutely outrageous that the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program that WIC sponsors would refer mothers to the nation's largest abortion chain for health care," Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League said. "Planned Parenthood kills more children than any other single organization in the country. How can a program for children associate with it?" The WIC Learning Online Web site links to Planned Parenthood Federation of America as a "participant referral." Planned Parenthood received over $336 million in taxpayer funding in 2007 alone, with an overall profit of $115 million. Sedlak says this Planned Parenthood partnership with a program designed for children is j...
