Overturning Roe v Wade Does Not End Abortion Violence
Vandalism and threats against pregnancy and pro-life centers are on the rise because it appears the Supreme Court will overturn the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade decision. Delaying the decision until after the election, and when the months get cold, would reduce the incidents of violence. No matter when the decision is released, violence will escalate because the devil runs rampant.
The Month of May Brings Good News
During the month devoted to the Blessed Mother, several good stories have come to light. Several Planned Parenthood facilities are closing, a SCOTUS leak teases an overturning of Roe v. Wade, and American Life League has found a new national director in its fight against Planned Parenthood.
What Should the Sufferings of Our Lord Mean to Us?
If only we had the tiniest glimpse into the experience of eternal life, we would change our lives dramatically. Christ's sufferings were an endurance of love for our sakes.
Remembering Jim Sedlak
This past January, Jim Sedlak, regular host of this radio program passed away. Hugh Brown, Executive Vice President of American LIfe League, takes over the microphone. Hugh spends time reflecting on the impact of Jim's pro-life legacy.
Top Three Pro-Life Stories of 2021
More and more mothers can be expected to kill their preborn children with ease now that the Food and Drug Administration has approved murder-by-mail abortion-pill service. States are free to prohibit the mailing of abortion-pills. 31 states have no restrictions on mailing abortion pills.
Jim highlights the top three pro-life stories of 2021.
A New Spiritual Weapon Against the Evil of Abortion Violence is Released
Jim talks with Dwain Currier, public policy director at American Life League, about the Marian Blue Wave's newest weapon against Planned Parenthood and its agents of evil. Later, Jim discusses the Supreme Court's recent decision in the Texas Heartbeat law permitting citizens to take action against abortionists and other individuals involved in the execution of a preborn child (except the child's mother). The Supreme Court refused to strike down the law.
Congress Passes Big Abortion Funding Bill
Congress has decided to pass a 1.7 trillion dollar spending bill, a devastating move against the pro-life movement. The spending bill allows federal funding of abortion providers because it doesn't explicitly restrict money from going to abortion.
7 billion dollars goes to funding 'health equity'. Abortion is essential to 'health equity' according to its advocates. 3.3 billion dollars goes to health education. Such vague language permits medical professionals to use federal funding to train students how to kill preborn children.
Surprises from the Marian Blue Wave
Katie Brown, director of the Marian Blue Wave, shares some incredible stories resulting from the MBW. Let's face it. Abortionists don't like Our Lady. Katie gives one example. Later Jim provides updates on the Supreme Court's willingness to hear oral arguments in a 15-week abortion law.
Congress and Funding Abortion Violence
Veterans are celebrated for their willing to put their lives in harms way to protect and preserve others’ liberties. Be sure to thank a veteran for their service.
Nothing in the Infrastructure bill passed by the House of Representatives says that money may not go towards funding abortion violence. The bill also adds people with gender dysphasia to the list of protected classes. Six Democrats voted against the bill and thirteen Republicans voted FOR it.
No Surprise! Parents Will Not Be Silenced!
Jim remembers Paul Brown, former CFO of American Life League and husband of Judie Brown, President of American Life League. Over the years Paul Brown helped several pro-life groups get back on their feet when fundraising was difficult.
SCOTUS is hearing oral arguments in the Texas Heartbeat Law. What's most unique about the law is that the state cannot enforce it. Ordinary citizens enforce the law and file lawsuits against abortionists, organizations, and any party involved in arranging for the child's murder.
Virginian voters chose education over ideology in this week's gubernatorial race. It's no surprise that parents want a voice in the kind of content being taught to their school-aged children.
Biden Claims the Holy Father Called Him a Good Catholic
The Vatican announced that there would be no live video of President Biden’s visit with Pope Francis. Biden claims the Pope encouraged him to continue receiving Holy Communion. There is not yet a record from the Vatican verifying Biden’s claim.
The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments on the constitutionality of a law enforced by citizens, and not by governments and public prosecutors.
The city of Portland is giving post-abortive city employees a 3-day leave period with pay.
104 Years Since the Miracle of the Sun
This week marks 104 years since the miracle of the sun at Fatima. Several messages came out of Fatima that are important to us today. Large populations of younger people don’t believe Hell exists, but our Lady showed a vision of hell to the three children at Fatima. Our Lady also explained that more souls go to hell because of sins of the flesh.
October 19 is the Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity. Students nationwide who oppose abortion will remain silent on the third Tuesday of October.
Planned Parenthood Loves Taxpayer Money
Jim provides an October update on what Planned Parenthood is doing nationally and locally.
President Joe Biden reverses the rule banning any health provider who offers or refers abortion violence to patients from receiving Title X federal funding.
The Yurok Tribe announced that Planned Parenthood Northern California was going to be remotely teaching their children a sex program.
31 Ways to Celebrate Life This October
October is Respect Life Month. To help families build a culture of life this October, Susan Cianco from the Culture of Life Studies Program created a list of special activities and lessons we can do every day of the month.

D.C.'s House of Pain
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the 'Women's Health Protection Act'. The USCCB calls it the most radical abortion bill in history permitting mothers to kill their preborn children from creation to birth for any reason. This bill strikes down all abortion violence regulations passed by individual states. So what happens next? Jim discusses the possibilities of the Senate passing the bill.
The Supreme Court is considering the Mississippi abortion law that restricts killing preborn children to the first 15 weeks. Oral arguments will be heard December 1st.
Uncovering Planned Parenthood's Secret Location
Pro-life advocates in Arkansas uncovered Planned Parenthood’s discreet plan to open a new facility in the city of Rogers.
Jim’s guests are Sheila Pursell, Director of Northwest Arkansas Respect Life Council and David Cox, Assistant Director of the Family Council. Sheila and David explain how they discovered the one thing that Planned Parenthood tries to keep secret—the real estate purchase of a future abortion store.
Truth and Consequences Surrounding the Texas Heartbeat Law
The Supreme Court has held in place a Texas law that prohibits most abortions after the 6th week of pregnancy. This has resulted in abortion facilities putting a suspension on their killing. Jim discusses the law, the misconceptions, and the pieces written in the law that few people are talking about.
Former Planned Parenthood President Describes Abortion Quotas in New Book
Congress is set to put the U.S. further into debt with a multi-trillion dollar budget bill . Most troubling is the failure of the bill to prohibit funds from going to abortion violence providers.
St. Alphonsus’ treatise on the uniformity with God’s will explains why it’s necessary for us to attach our wills to God’s.
Planned Parenthood’s former president wrote a book. She writes of her experiences with the abortion violence organization—experiences that affirm what pro-life advocates have been saying for decades.
Hometown Pro-Life
Pro-life action can begin at home. That's the message John Pisciotta of Pro-Life Waco delivers to individuals looking to get active. From a simple yard-sign to traveling billboards, John shares his ideas for spreading the pro-life message in your community.
The Supreme Court's Viability Benchmark is Dead
Thomas Olp is a full-time lawyer with the Thomas More Society. Thomas explains how Rhode Island’s General Assembly illegally added a right to abortion in the state’s constitution, which would require a majority vote by Rhode Island’s citizens. The state’s Supreme Court will take up the decision.
The Thomas More Society has filed an amicus brief describing the error of using viability as a dividing line for abortion limitations since advances in technology allow for better intervention of younger fetuses.
The Official Religion of Planned Parenthood
Humanists complain that Christians are trying to force their religious beliefs onto everyone. Meanwhile, the American Humanist Association is trying to force its beliefs onto everyone. You might think of Planned Parenthood as a secular organization devoid of religion, but humanism is the official religion of the abortion violence organization. Jim explains what the American Humanist Association is, and the Planned Parenthood presidents who have received its highest award.
Flagging the Pro-Life Movement
The pro-life movement lacks a single, identifiable, unifying flag. The team at Pro-Life Flag Project is attempting to change that.
Supreme Court Precedent Can Be Overturned
Alan Parker, President of the Justice Foundation. Moral Outcry collects signatures from citizens who wish the courts to overturn the Roe and Doe decisions. Under the law of judicial precedent, one of the reason Supreme Court precedent can be overturned is if the decision(s) has been met with general dissatisfaction, protest, or severe criticism.

Sanctuary Cities for Babies Waiting to Be Born
A federal judge has rejected Planned Parenthood's lawsuit attempting to overturn Lubbock, Texas' election where its citizens voted 63% to make Lubbock a sanctuary city for the preborn. Jim and his guests discuss Texas and other sanctuary cities for the preborn. These cities adopt measures to end abortion violence within city limits and prevent abortion facilities like Planned Parenthood from opening new ones.
Mark Lee Dickson is founder of Sanctuary Cities of the Unborn, a hub for pro-life advocates to begin the process of establishing their towns as sanctuary cities. Faith Montgomery is a Texas teenager working to get her town to become a community where preborn people are protected.
From Creation to Death: What Do Those Terms Mean?
Terms like conception, pregnancy, and natural death don't have a universal meaning. The Culture of Death has distorted them to minimize the evil it commits. Jim explains the history of these terms within the context of the culture of life.
Stacking the School Board with Pro-Life Advocates
Lois Anderson is executive director of Oregon Right to Life. Lois work with school boards began when a parent informed her that Planned Parenthood was entering the public schools through a classroom sex education grant. Planned Parenthood's after-school programs were not limited to her county. This began the mission of protecting students from Planned Parenthood by finding pro-life advocates willing to fill the seats of their local school boards.
Where are the Federal Bills Protecting Life and Liberty?
Several bills have been introduced to Congress that require attention by the pro-life activist.
Senate Bill 1 seeks to invalidate all voter laws intended to protect voter integrity. The Equality Act is intended to block all discrimination based on a person’s preferred sexual behavior. And radical feminists are attempted to resurrect the failed Equal Right Amendment. Have you called your Senators to voice your opinion?
Campaign to Shutdown Texas Planned Parenthoods
The Marian Blue Wave asks Catholics to pray the Rosary once a week specifically for the closure of all Planned Parenthood facilities and an end to all types of abortion. Now, the program seeks to target specific Planned Parenthood facilities in Texas with a focused prayer campaign. Katie Brown is the guest on Jim's show.
The Month of May Provides Us with a Pro-Life Advantage
Topics discussed: The month of May is dedicated to the Blessed Mother. Joe Biden’s anti-Catholic presidency has led him to revoke the ban on federal funding of research performed on the remains of aborted, pre-born children. Sanctuary cities for the unborn are cropping up across the United States. These cities, 24 and growing, seek to outlaw abortion within the city’s limits. Lubbock, TX seeks to be the newest and largest city despite having an abortion facility. Citizens, having collected enough signatures, will make the decision at the voting booth.
Meeting Abortion-Minded Mothers Online
Karen Garnett is executive director of Heroic Media. Heroic Media connects with abortion-minded mothers with online advertising. This year the National Prayer Luncheon for Life is granting $85,000 in grants for effective pro-life advocacy. Winners are selected through online voting at National Prayer Luncheon for Life—> https://nationalprayerluncheonforlife.org/
Karen also reflects on the final days of Norma McCorvey, the anonymous Roe of the infamous Roe v. Wade court decision decriminalizing abortion-on-demand.
Pornography in Classroom Sex Education
Bev Kilmer is CEO of Freedom Speaks Coalition (https://freedomspeaks.us/). Her investigations into school sex programs has uncovered pornographic material that falls within the criminal codes of state and federal child pornography laws.

Brejcha represented Joe Schiedler in his infamous Now v. Scheidler cases that went to the U.S. Supreme Court three times.
Separation from Christ is Worse than COVID
People need to know that things aren’t as bad as the media is portraying it. We’re not a slave to a pandemic that has a high infection-recovery rate. We ask Jesus and the Blessed Mother to take control of our lives. There have been more flu deaths than COVID deaths, and mainstream media doesn’t want to share that information.
The Equality Act may as well be called the LGBTQ Supremacy Act. Despite the word ‘abortion’ not appearing in the bill, it is hidden under the label ‘pregnancy treatment’.
Plus Jim discusses other anti-humanity developments happening at the federal level.
Planned Parenthood's Latest Numbers Show an Organization in Decline
The Equality Act passed the House of Representatives this week. It is the most pro-abortion bill to pass in the last decade. People who treat their reproductive organs apart from God’s design will be a protected class. People with same-sex attraction will be permitted tax-funded ‘treatment for pregnancy.’ No doubt these treatments include ending the lives of preborn children.
Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report shows an increase of abortion violence and a dramatic decrease in private donors.
Our yearly facilities report continues to show an abortion corporation in decline. Planned Parenthood has dropped to 563 facilities in the United States.
Planned Parenthood’s latest numbers can be viewed here (pdf).

A New Congress Introduces So-Called 'Pro-Life' Bills
Biden has nominated Xavier Beccera to be the new head of HHS. Beccera loves abortion. As the head of HHS he will change how abortion pills are dispensed and used. Beccera has also gone after the Little Sisters of the Poor for their refusal to cover abortificient birth control pills in their health insurance. Listeners need to call their Senators and demand they vote ‘No’ on Beccera’s nomination.
Since January 4, Congress has introduced several bills in the House and Senate that are incorrectly labelled as pro-life bills. These so-called pro-life bills contain exceptions for babies created through a violent act against the mother. Another bill specifies that mothers are to be excluded from investigation if all abortions are criminalized. This gives mothers the freedom to kill her own preborn child.
Overturning New York's 'Reproductive Health Act'
New York’s “Reproductive Health Act”, signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo, eliminated abortion violence restrictions and removed the killing of a preborn child from the state’s criminal code.
Jim talks with attorneys Christen Civeletto and Michelle Sterlace. They are filing a constitutional challenge against New York’s law alleging it harms vulnerable mothers and children. Preborn children who are killed or harmed are no longer protected under NY law when the mother intends to carry the child to term.
Is the Pro-Life Movement Making Progress?
Recent pro-life polls reveal a startling stagnation in pro-life attitudes. There is very little support for a complete ban on all abortion, even among self-proclaimed pro-life advocates. So why hasn’t the needle moved over the last 48 years? Jim provides careful analysis of why this attitude isn’t changing .
Adapting Pro-Life Activism in the Age of COVID
Pandemics require some changes in pro-life activities. For the Chicago March for Life the march took on a new tactic by transforming it into a city-to-city pro-life caravan.
Jim’s guest is Kevin Grillot, executive director of WeDignify. Grillot explains how he succeeded in bringing the Moving the Movement Tour across six cities across four states.
It's Getting Harder to Remember When Abortion Used to Be Illegal
Joe Scheidler, founder of the Pro-Life Action League, has been fighting for the end of abortion since 1973. He died at the age of 93. For the activists serious about fighting abortion violence in their community, Scheidler’s book ’Closed: 99 Ways to Stop Abortion’ is a necessary tool. Scheidler gave his final talk at the First Annual Red Rose Rescue conference.
On this 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade Jim recalls a time when the United States recognized abortion as a criminal act. It's getting harder to find anyone under the age of 60 cannot recall a time when abortion was illegal.
New Year, New Pro-Life Opportunities
Limitations on travel has permitted an incredible growth of pro-life walks around the nation. WeDignify's Anna Kinskey joins Jim to discuss the Chicago March or Life and her organization's plan to teach college students how to effectively save lives.
Don't Forget the Babies This Christmas
In the final weeks of 2020 we want you to consider three pro-life activism opportunities outside your regular duties outside of the abortion facilities:
‘Caroling for Christmas’ brings music in the spirit of Christ our Savior to all of those inside the killing centers.
‘Bells for Babies’ commemorates the 63 million babies who have been killed since 1973.
'Mysteries for Mothers' offers rosaries for those contemplating death for their preborn children.
Saving Students from Classroom Sex Programs
All across the nation students are forced to sit through graphic, classroom sex programming designed to eliminate childhood inhibitions and desensitize them to graphic sexual content. This has been Planned Parenthood's goal since 1986 when it instituted a plan to have mandatory K-12 sex programming in every school district. Beverly Kilmer, CEO of Freedom Speaks Coalition, is leading a Florida task force to rid the state of illegal sex programs.
Why is the USCCB Congratulating Joe Biden?
Contested elections are nothing new. What we do know is that in January a President will be sworn in and the pro-life movement will be faced with a president who will either support pro-life initiatives, or resist them.
The USCCB issued a congratulatory letter to apostate Joe Biden. The letter recognized Biden as the ‘2nd Catholic’ to be elected President. To clarify, the USCCB is a collegial gathering of bishops to discuss topics of mutual interest. It has no relationship on the Church’s authority and hierarchy. Statements on current events released by the USCCB are not representative of the body of bishops.
Post-Election 2020: What's Going On?
Election Day has passed and Americans are still waiting for the final results. However it does appear the U.S. Senate will continue to be held by a Republican majority. The U.S. House will retain Democratic control, but lose several seats. None of this has any bearing on whether or not we stop praying in front of abortion facilities.
Could a New SCOTUS Justice Bring an End to Roe v. Wade?
Now that Justice Barrett has been confirmed to the Supreme Court, what does that mean for Roe v. Wade? An overturning of the decision decriminalizing abortion across the U.S. should not be the pro-life objective because it’s possible that it would allow for the murder of preborn children in most states.
Personhood for the preborn is the only objective that will protect babies across all fifty states because the preborn are owed total protection.
During this Fall’s 40 Days for Life an abortion facility in El Paso, TX closed permanently. This is the 107th abortion facility to close that was targeted by a 40 Days for Life effort.
California 40 Days for Life Under Siege
In Walnut Creek, CA, pro-life participants in the 40 Days for Life campaign dealt with harassment from abortion activists. One of the pro-life participants informed us that the taunting is non-stop insofar as posting their pictures on the internet in an attempt to dox them.
Fearing violence, 40 Days for Life hired a security team to protect the vigil participants. Local media described a pepper spray incident between security and counter-protesters as a violent clash between pro-life and pro-abortion groups.
Judge Amy Barrett gave an impressive testimony before the Senate Judiciary confirmation hearings.
First Victories After the First Year of the Marian Blue Wave
The Marian Blue Wave has reached its one-year anniversary. In that year the Marian Blue Wave has achieved some incredible victories. First, 31 countries are saying 100,000 rosaries for the intention of ending Planned Parenthood and the end of abortion in the United States. Second, Planned Parenthood has admitted what pro-life advocates have been announcing for decades—that it not only is the largest abortion organization, it’s the largest RACIST abortion organization.
