Here is the "Communique" newsletter from American Life League that was emailed TODAY, Feb 21, 2003:

In addition to her testimony, and in addition to the information in her newsletter, there is also the information from her response to a question on EWTN, which I have already previously posted:
"American Life League provided testimony in favor of the bill and I issued a statement which I post here for your edification because, as you have said, in this case, the Bishop is wrong to have opposed the bill, and none of us understand why he did."Yes, she disagrees with the Bishops on this, but I hardly think she agrees with you,
It's not that she agrees with me, but that I agree with her, since she is the pre-eminent pro-life leader who has taken a 100% pro-life stance in contrast to so many other so-called pro-lifers who compromise at the drop of a hat, and that includes Catholic bishops. I agree with her brilliant strategy to begin the Crusade for the defense of our Catholic Church, an attempt to hold bishops' feet to the fire when they back down on pro-life principles. Check out this amazing ad they ran in the Washington Times when Al Sharpton was allowed to preach at a church in Chicago:
Al Sharpton is NOT a Catholic PriestJudy Brown and the American Life League are showing the way. Catholics should not continue to tolerate cowardice from their bishops.This important alert to Roman Catholic clergy presented by:

A COPY OF THIS AD HAS BEEN SENT TO ALL CARDINALS AND BISHOPS IN THE UNITED STATES.
Judie Brown is an "all-or-nothing" pro-lifer. She criticized George W. Bush for not being pro-life enough in 2000 because he allows for the rape exception.
Yet, Bush re-instituted the Mexico policy, affirmed the fetus as a person for Health and Human Services purposes, and will sign a partial-birth abortion ban.
Judie may be a good force within the Church, but she is worthless politically. I haven't heard one word of encouragement from her about the steps Bush has taken away from Roe v. Wade, including the judges he's nominated.
