Your help is urgently needed to protect unborn children and women from late-term abortion. It was announced this week that the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on Tuesday, October 3 on The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 36). Please contact your member of the House . Human Life Action-HLA (formerly named The National Committee for a Human Life Amendment - NCHLA) works closely with the U.S. Bishops' Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities of Representatives immediately and urge support for this life-saving legislation. Time is short! There is substantial medical evidence that an unborn child can experience pain at least by 20 weeks after fertilization. Therefore, this bill, which was introduced by Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) on January 3, asserts a compelling governmental interest in protecting unborn children from this stage. With limited exceptions, H.R. 36 makes it unlawful to perform or attempt to perform an abortion if the probable post-fertilization age of the unborn child is 20 weeks or greater. Please take action right away to advocate for this life-saving legislation. Moreover, consensus exists among most Americans about protecting five-month old unborn children and their mothers from the dangers of late-term abortion. As Cardinal Dolan said in his September 29 letter to the House, "[a]lthough we want, and will continue to work for, protections in law for human life from the beginning of its existence, for several reasons we think the proposed ban on abortion at 20 weeks after fertilization is a place to begin uniting Americans who see themselves as 'pro-life' and as 'pro-choice'." Please spread the word of this alert - every voice matters! Thank you for standing with us. Together we will be heard!

During 40 Days for Life, we actually look forward to Mondays! That is the day we share the great news of lives saved from abortion. So far, our hard-working local campaign coordinators tell us they know of at least … … 26 babies … … whose moms decided at the last minute to reject abortion and choose life for their children! God has answered your prayers! Shawn Carney 40 Days For Life

There is no other way to say it — your prayerful presence at a 40 Days for Life vigil is bad for the abortion business. Abortion is, after all, a business. A dirty and shady business. No doctor grows up wanting to be the best abortionist in the country. It’s never the plan. Something went wrong ... and many times, due to medical malpractice or personal misconduct, abortionists need cash. Former Planned Parenthood workers say as many as 75 percent of their clients don't show up for abortion appointments when people are outside praying. Fewer paying customers will mean more abortion centers going out of business ... and that's the topic of this week’s 40 Days for Life podcast -- abortion center closures: https://40daysforlife.com/2017/10/10/podcast-90/ It's because 40 Days for Life vigils cost them money that abortion workers sometimes react in anger to the mere presence of people praying on the sidewalk. For life, Shawn D. Carney President, 40 Days for Life

You are probably very aware that this Friday, October 13th is the 100th Anniversary of the Great Miracle of the Sun predicted by Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal. This miracle was seen by over 70,000 people including many skeptics who then believed and widely reported it in the secular press. Our Lady forcefully told us to PRAY THE ROSARY again and again for world peace and to avoid many natural and man-made disasters that we are now witnessing! AMERICA NEEDS FATIMA! THIS SATURDAY AT NOON OVER A MILLION PEOPLE IN THE USA WILL BE PRAYING THE ROSARY ON THEIR OWN OR AT ONE OF OVER 20,000 RALLIES.

Abortion is never safe. In fact it is considered unsuccessful unless a baby dies. And his or her death is the most violent you or I could imagine. "Safe abortion" is a myth and a popular talking point from abortion advocates that further shows how disconnected they are with the scientific reality of life in the womb. Not only is there obviously no safety for the baby, there can also be physical damage to the mother. There is certainly psychological and spiritual damage. If abortion were safe (for the mothers, that is), you'd never see an ambulance in front of an abortion facility. We're aware of at least five ambulance calls already during this 40 Days for Life campaign. Abortion is not safe -- nor it is designed to be. It’s designed to kill our own children and is the most unnatural act in all of humanity. It is no wonder that ambulances outside of Planned Parenthood centers and other abortion facilities are such a common scene. To say that abortion is safe is to live in a mythical world. Lord, we are yours. Thank you for breathing into us the breath of life. Thank you for claiming us as your own. May our words and actions in defense of human life proclaim to all the world that you alone are Lord of life and death, Lord of our freedom and of our choices. For life, Shawn D. Carney President, 40 Days for Life
