Pro-Life Group to Identify Senate's 'Catholic' Supporters of Abortion (AgapePress) - The largest pro-life group in America is preparing to "out" a contingent of pro-abortion Catholic U.S. senators it says comprise "the deadly dozen." Many of the leading abortion advocates in Congress are Catholics. That has caused the Vatican to issue a letter of guidelines for Catholic office-holders, re-emphasizing the church's stance on abortion. Catholic activist Judie Brown of American Life League (ALL) has been calling for such action by the church leaders for years. "There are far too many people in politics right now who call themselves Catholic who...

January 22, 2003 will mark the 30th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision legalizing elective abortion during all nine months of pregnancy. As pro-abortion groups plan their celebrations, one of the founders of the pro-life movement looked to the future. The "Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice" is a national alliance of liberal "faith groups" that works to keep abortion-on-demand legal. The group is planning a "convocation" to mark the Roe v. Wade anniversary entitled "From Generation to Generation: Celebrating 30 Years of Faithful Reproductive Choices." Rev. Carlton Veazey, president and CEO of the group, blamed conservative Christians...

Local, state and federal law enforcement will be ready to protect not only Buffalo's abortion clinic, but also local hospitals and gay bars, when anti-abortion radicals come to town next week to rally in support of admitted killer James C. Kopp. Harold Litwin, chief of operations for the Buffalo Police Department, said Tuesday that protests - planned by individuals linked to the radical Army of God - may not be limited to the city's Womenservices Clinic. "It's a real threat," Litwin said. "We know that members of Army of God have criminal records and there are some with some serious...

WASHINGTON, Jan 22, 03 (CWNews.com) -- Democratic Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, a presidential hopeful for 2004, leads a list of a "Deadly Dozen" Catholic politicians attacked today by the American Life League. The American Life League (ALL), an activist group with 375,000 members, marked the 30th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision by opening a media campaign against prominent Catholics who reject Church teachings regarding the sanctity of human life. Judie Brown, the president of ALL, accused Kerry of "flagrant disregard for and disrespectful attitude towards the sacred teachings of his own Church." She said that Kerry...

Washington, D.C. More than 200 pro-life youth from across the country gathered in the nation's capital Monday to begin three days of prayer rallies and peaceful protests centered around the 30th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion during all nine months of pregnancy. "It's wrong to kill children in the womb. They are human beings, and they have souls that are very precious to God," said Therese Nazar, a teen from La Crosse, Wis. "They have a right to live." The group gathered on a public sidewalk across the street from one of the Planned...

Washingtonians opened their top newspaper on Sunday, Jan. 19 to see what could have been predicted down to the letter. "Thousands Oppose a Rush to War," the headline announced, resting under a large color picture of a sea of protesters. Not one, not two, but three articles on the front page cast doubt on the Bush preparations for war on Iraq. Inside, the anti-Bush rally was awarded two entire pages of articles and pictures, and then, as if that weren't enough, the Post tacked on another half a page for the protests in San Francisco. "Chill Doesn't Cool Fury...

What do you think of when contemplating the year 1973? You may recall that in January of that year, the U.S. signed the Paris Peace Accords, ending our involvement in the Vietnam War. Maybe you remember that "All in the Family" and "The Waltons" were the most popular TV shows, or that "The Poseidon Adventure" was the top movie. You might consider John Cappelletti's inspirational Heisman Trophy season or the Reggie Jackson-led Oakland A's defense of their World Series crown. However, when I think of 1973, I reflect on the Jan. 22 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision that...
