ALERT from LifeSite News:

On Friday, Joe Biden - after consistently refusing to answer such questions as a candidate in 2020 - officially announced the formation of a presidential commission to explore the possibility of making MAJOR changes to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS).

Among these so-called "reforms" include potentially INCREASING the number of Justices that serve on SCOTUS, in an obvious effort to give congressional Democrats and the radical left a boost in support on our nation's highest court.

While official recommendations have yet to be made by Biden's commission, Congress will ultimately decide what steps are taken once they do.

Trust in our courts has already been steadily eroding over the years due to what has rightfully been interpreted by the American people as politically-driven decisions made by past and current Justices. But if our leaders in Washington allow Joe Biden to expand the court, there's no telling how much worse things will get.

The Supreme Court represents the only branch of government that ISN'T under complete control of the radical left, and if congressional Democrats' new court-packing scheme is successful, that one last safeguard could be permanently removed.

That's why it's so important to let our U.S. Senators and Congressmen/women know that we stand firmly against any and all efforts to pack and politicize the Supreme Court, and the time to do so is NOW.

Please take urgent action and contact your U.S. Senators and House Member in one easy step using the simple contact form that LifeSite is making available here.

It’s called Voter Voice and it will automatically match you to your representatives' email and Twitter accounts.
It only takes one click of a button, and you won't even have to look-up your federal legislators' contact details.

House Democrats, in a strict party-line vote, recently passed legislation to conduct a massive federal overhaul of America’s elections which would attempt to make the irregularities that plagued 2020 election the new, permanent norm in our country.​

The bill is called H.R. 1 (also known, ironically, as the “For the People” Act), and, if passed by the Democrat-controlled Senate, could mark the end of free and fair elections in our country.

That’s we must act NOW, and implore our U.S. Senators to vote against this dangerous legislation when it comes before them for a vote.

Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition asking all U.S. Senators to oppose H.R. 1 as a matter of national importance.

After signing, please CONTACT YOUR SENATORS DIRECTLY, by using the easy form which LifeSite is also providing here.

Democrat sponsors have attempted to promote H.R. 1 as a bill to expand voting rights in America, but, in reality, it is the exact opposite.
Among the 791-page bill’s provisions are the following:
-Transfer of control over congressional elections from state governments to the federal government, even though the Constitution explicitly states that such authority belongs solely to states.

-Mandatory early voting in all 50 states for at least 15 days prior to an actual election, as well as unlimited ballot harvesting.

-Mandatory, nationwide mail-in voting, without any requirement that individuals provide a form of personal identification upon applying for their mail-in ballot.

-Transfer of control over drawing congressional district maps from each individual state’s legislature to “independent” commissions – another power reserved, in the Constitution, for states specifically.

April 1, 2021 (Fetal Tissue Vaccines) — As with the MMR [1] vaccine, the Oxford/AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine are produced in cell lines derived from abortions [2] — by contrast, Moderna and Pfizer’s vaccines used them in testing.[3]
The debate around the morality of fetal tissue vaccines frequently has at its heart three beliefs:

• In receiving the vaccine we are not cooperating with past evil;
• In receiving the vaccine we are not contributing to present or future evil;
• There is almost no connection between the vaccine and the murdered baby.

These beliefs are flawed because they rest upon faulty assumptions — thus, whichever side you stand on, it’s worth considering the most common ones.
1. “Only a few babies were used.”
While each individual cell line contains the cells of just one baby, many aborted babies are used in the process of creating a cell line.[4] For example, under oath, scientist Stanley Plotkin admitted that there were 76 aborted babies used in just one vaccine study.[5] Furthermore, with cell line WI-25 we know that it was the 25th specimen from the 19th baby.[6]
The two cell strains used by COVID vaccines are named HEK293 and PERC6.[7] The name HEK293 stands for a Human Embryonic Kidney from the 293rd experiment [8] — we can be confident that more babies preceded the final baby used for HEK293.[9]

2. “The babies were of a very early gestation.”
Most of the babies whose tissue formed the basis of the different vaccine cell lines, were over 3 months when aborted.[10] For example, under oath, scientist Stanley Plotkin admitted that all of the 76 unborn babies used in the study were 3 months or older.[11]
At 3 months, a baby is fully formed: “she has begun swallowing and kicking … facial muscles are getting a workout as her tiny features form one expression after another …”[12]

— 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.
