A Comprehensive Pro-Life Agenda
Each year, the Pro-Life movement has united at the March for Life in Washington, D.C. This year, it will be held on Thursday, Jan. 22. This event provides an opportunity for us to gather in our Nation’s capital and march down Constitution Avenue, ending at the Supreme Court, where the decision to make abortion legal in the United States has set a destructive path and human life has been reduced to a choice.

(CNS) – Some pro-lifers get discouraged that bringing an end to abortion isn’t happening overnight, but the power of prayer is making a difference, said Kevin Dugan, a parish pro-life ministry leader. For years members of Dugan’s parish, Immaculate Conception in Somerville, have been joined by other faith communities in […]
Caregivers Respect Life Year-round
by Bill Dodds AS RESPECT LIFE Month rolls around each October, I realize that one of the joys of working with family caregivers is being able to point out to them that often what they’re doing is more than they realize they’re doing. Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of caregivers say, “I used […]
Bishops Reject Cuomo’s Abortion Proposal
As the New York state legislature session was grinding to a halt this week, the state’s Catholic Conference was assailing Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s last-ditch efforts to radically increase abortion in New York. Abortion industry lobbyists said that Gov. Cuomo’s abortion bill would modify language about partial-birth abortion. “We believe such a change is intended to […]
Abortion Doctor Is Declared a Murderer
PHILADELPHIA (CNS) – Dr. Kermit Gosnell may have been convicted May 13 of murder at his Philadelphia abortion clinic, but “nothing can bring back the innocent children he killed, or make up for the vulnerable women he exploited,” said Archbishop Charles J.
