The American Life League Podcast

In a society devoid of morality, should it be surprising that lies surround us and advocates of the pill attempt to obfuscate when it comes to birth control?

The disposable mentality of our society had permeated into all areas of life, and now we see that even the sick or terminally ill are thought of in this way.

Man wants to be so independent that he is leaving God out of more and more of his life.

An organization should not call itself Catholic if it does not follow and teach the tenets of the faith. It's pretty simple. Yet why does CRS not seem to understand this?

The formation of a conscience is integral in the development of each and every human being. And the Church has clergy who are here to help us. We look to these men to guide us and to lead us. But are they doing that?

Duplicity—the main thing both Planned Parenthood and the Tuskegee experiments have in common. We eventually realized the harm done to hundreds of men. Yet people can't seem to see through the lies told daily by PP. They can't seem to understand the destruction this organization causes each and every day. When will the fog lift?

The innocent, the hurting, the sick, or anyone crying for help should immediately evoke love and compassion. We should reach out to them, not shun them, not kill them. They were given to us to care for, and care for them we must. To do anything else is simply barbaric.

Science fiction was once just that—fiction. They were stories meant to frighten us, to make us wary of what the future might hold. Well, now we seem to be living that future. And we should be very worried.

When we encounter a mystery, we must examine the clues, look at all the evidence, and make a decision based on what those things tell us. We have a bizarre mystery at hand, and we must sift through all the clues to find the truth. What exactly is that truth?

A fun celebration of a beloved Catholic saint has been usurped by a part of our community bent on shouting immorality for all to hear. And where is our Catholic clergy?

A child created within a marital unit and out of love? Those were the old days. These days, we can mix up the “perfect” creation in a petri dish. But at what cost?

The icy fingers of selfishness and callousness have crept into the collective body of society and left its members chilled to the bone

We live in a backward culture that somehow thinks the murder of a child is not only acceptable, but something that should be celebrated and embraced. We've allowed minds to become so twisted and confused that they don't even see the resulting destruction. We say all the time that we must be voices for the preborn, but are we loud enough to be heard over all this noise?

The reason why many pro-life parents have decided not to give their children the MMR vaccine is a shocking one. Part of this vaccine is derived from the cells of aborted babies. This horrid reality presses upon the consciences of many. Yet there is a solution—one that the manufacturer will not consider.

Touted as liberation. Touted as a way for women to take control. The pill has long been described as something positive women should do for themselves. But how often do we hear about its negative consequences and deadly effects? Not often enough. Now is the time for the truth.

We are proud of the actions of clergy who stand up for the truths of the Church and who, despite backlash from secular society, refuse to back down. This is truly what it means to lead. And we must strive to follow this lead—not only in our own hearts, but with our own voices.

The life of a human being is something that should be treasured, valued, and respected. Yet we don't see that in today's society when it comes to a tiny preborn baby, a terminally sick individual, an elderly person, or anyone deemed unworthy or unwanted.

We honor the millions of children slaughtered needlessly at the hands of abortionists. It's the perfect time to remember the importance of actions and the necessity of speaking for those who have been silenced.

We hear a tragic story of violence that resulted in the creation of a beautiful, loved child. But the story doesn't end there. What happens next will shock you and cause outrage. Yet it also gives hope.

Peace begins at home. But what happens when we willfully destroy the home and the people in it?

As another year closes, we take a few moments to reflect upon the blessings bestowed upon us.

There are stories we rarely hear, stories of torture that cause the tiny cries from mouths that have been silenced all too soon.

Freedom is a word used and abused on a daily basis—a word used for people's own selfish purposes. But Christ came here and died for us, for a freedom many don't understand.

In many things in life it's prudent to have a backup plan—a contingency for when things may not go as you had hoped or expected. Such is not the case when it comes to the life of a child.

We've heard a lot about excessive force lately. But, in reality, those who fight day in and day out for preborn babies know all too well another meaning of excessive force.

Archbishop Cupich is a prelate of the Church who clearly prefers political correctness to instructing pro-abortion Catholic politicians committing sacrilege.

Judie Brown shares the joys of Thanksgiving as her family contemplates what's truly important in life.

As we approach Thanksgiving, we reflect upon the things and people in our lives who give meaning and who inspire. The people mentioned in today's commentary work daily to save not only lives, but to save souls. And in the process they touch hearts and minds.

Sex educators are using kids as young as 11 to collaborate in demonstrations of birth control objects like the condom. I wonder where is our world headed?

Catholics all over were disappointed with the recent news about the reassignment of Cardinal Raymond Burke, and we can't help but wonder what the future holds.

This week we saw great strides in the elections and in the decisions people made to elect pro-life leaders. But we cannot stop there.

It's hard to talk about human dignity when the advocates for pro-assisted suicide groups frame murder as dignified.

Oregon's Brittany Maynard has a very touching, yet tragic, tale to tell about her terminal brain cancer and her plans to take her own life—something she will do next month in her own bed as she is surrounded by her immediate family.

Judie Brown explains what Pope Francis and the bishops have been discussing in the synod currently taking place at the Vatican.

What is difficult to understand is why hundreds of thousands of people have cried out about the life of one dog.

We have spent too much time allowing others to dictate our morality while we simply sat back and watched events unfold.

In this ever-changing world in which contraception is pushed from many fronts, we find that we must now add the pediatrician's office to the list.

One special family teaches us that all life is precious and that every child should be treasured and his life fought for.

Our culture has become one of violence—violence toward women, toward children, and toward innocent preborn babies.

Those who kill preborn babies may have no shame, but we who fight to give voice to these innocent children certainly do.

Families are precious; they are to be cherished and valued. Yet society tells us that it's okay to divorce, to enter into same-sex unions, and to discard babies like trash.

Instead of a good example, these men only become fodder for those who either choose not to do as the Church teaches or who are ignorant about the teachings.

Abortion is a horrifying, tragic act that takes the life of a child who depended on his mother to care for him. Instead, his life is literally torn apart.

We must watch where we focus our energies. We must always be the voice of the preborn. And we can never allow compromise.

Our “me” society seems to be losing the vision of a healthy, happy family, and instead focusing on hedonistic pleasures geared at destroying the family. If we continue in this fashion, the loudest sound we will hear will be the weeping of souls.

American Life League understands the importance of the family in society and the toxicity surrounding it today. To this end, we have begun a new campaign called Defend the Family. Today's commentary talks more about this and explains how you can take part.

Knowing that some Planned Parenthoods now refer to an abortion as a “voluntary miscarriage” is sickening and further compounds the heartbreak of losing a child.
