— Organizers of the annual March for Life in the nation’s capital have announced that the mass gathering against abortion is being effectively canceled this year in place of a virtual event, with only a “small group of pro-life leaders” invited to demonstrate in person.
“The protection of all of those who participate in the annual March, as well as the many law enforcement personnel and others who work tirelessly each year to ensure a safe and peaceful event, is a top priority of the March for Life,” MFL president Jeanne Mancini said in a press release. “In light of the fact that we are in the midst of a pandemic which may be peaking, and in view of the heightened pressures that law enforcement officers and others are currently facing in and around the Capitol, this year’s March for Life will look different.”

July 10, 2020 (CatholicCulture.org) by Robert Marshall--
I have recently completed a major study of the confusion, difficulties and dangers in the effort to fast-track universal vaccination against Covid-19 (now in the CatholicCulture.org library).
This brief commentary is designed to highlight the issues quickly so that everyone can be aware of them, but of course I hope that many will read the entire study.
In a nutshell, then, governments worldwide are considering the following to address Covid-19:

• Mandatory vaccination of every person in the world with fast-tracked, never-before-approved vaccines that can alter genes;
• Vaccines using tissue from aborted children;
• Vaccines developed without animal testing prior to human trials.

Concerned citizens can still weigh in to affect the outcome!
...Please urge your government representatives to ensure that any Covid-19 vaccine complies with the following:

• Animal tests must be conducted prior to human trials;
• Vaccines derived from aborted children must not be developed or marketed;
• Vaccines that “modify” the RNA or DNA of the recipient should not be developed;
• Covid-19 vaccine data should be made public at reading level used for Military recruits;
• Vaccine safety/efficacy data with risk/harm ratio to patient, must be made public;
• Covid-19 vaccinations must be voluntary with no penalty for refusing vaccination;
• Parental Consent for vaccination of minors must be maintained.

July 10, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The Trump administration’s decision to withdraw the United States from the corrupt, ineffective, pro-China World Health Organization (WHO) has angered a lot of people at home and abroad … not because it will negatively impact global health but because it’ll negatively impact the agendas and bottom lines of various groups that have been exploiting the guise of “health services.”
And nobody has worn that disguise more effectively than the abortion industry, whose allies go all the way to the top of the global health establishment. The WHO’s website declares as “essential” the “right” to “access to legal and safe abortion.” Over the past few months, it has pushed self-induced chemical abortions via webcam as a substitute for tthe various abortion facilities temporarily shut down due to COVID-19.
So it’s only natural that Planned Parenthood’s former research arm, the Guttmacher Institute, would come out against withdrawal. Ironically, however, their report – which frames it as a “tantrum” to stop subsidizing an organization co-opted by a corrupt, murderous Communist dictatorship – inadvertently makes the pro-life case for withdrawal perfectly...

SAN FRANCISCO, July 14, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Five years ago, on July 14, 2015, David Daleiden released the first of many incriminating videos that showed the world the gruesome underbelly of illegal practices by the abortion industry. The Thomas More Society would soon thereafter begin its defense of undercover journalist Daleiden.
As researchers and reporters for the Human Capital Project of the Center for Medical Progress, Daleiden and his investigative partner, Sandra Merritt, posed as human tissue buyers. What they uncovered shocked the country as the videos they recorded revealed Planned Parenthood’s involvement in aborted baby body parts trafficking.
The videos, 13 in all, caused a national outcry to #DefundPlannedParenthood and triggered a congressional investigation of the abortion industry. Within days of the first video release, David and Sandra were hauled into court by the National Abortion Federation.
The battle of David versus the “Goliath” abortion industry eventually evolved into seven separate court cases both criminal and civil — in four different states.

From Brian Westbrook:
​Dear friends, volunteers, and supporters,
After considering the new emergency orders from both the State of Illinois and the City of St. Louis I have regrettably decided to suspend both the Fairview Heights and St. Louis 40 Days for Life on-site vigils. This will go into effect immediately and will be in place until the expected completion of the campaigns on April 5th.
For those who were scheduled to come and pray with us please still set aside this time and pray for an end to abortion in our region and a healing of our country. Please pray at home or at a nearby church or chapel.
Sidewalk counseling will continue in St. Louis City but may be limited or modified as conditions change. In Fairview Heights, IL sidewalk counseling will continue through 1:00 pm Saturday 3/21/2020 yet continued operations at this location are still under review.

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 24, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Donald Trump made history Friday by becoming the first sitting president to address the March for Life in person, telling hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers he was “proud to stand with you” to “protect the right of every child, born and unborn, to fulfill their God-given potential.”
“Young people are the heart of the march for life and it’s your generation that’s making America the pro-family, pro-life nation,” the president said, thanking students for making the trip and pro-life activists for "embrac[ing] mothers with care and compassion. You’re powered by prayer and motivated by pure, unselfish love."
