Dear Friends,
We hope you all enjoyed a very blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. Our sincere thanks to all of you who thought of us in your Christmas giving. We are truly overwhelmed by your generosity and support.
As we start the new year, please take a moment to listen to a New Year's message from the Archbishop of Kansas City in Kansas, former Chair of the Bishops' Pro-Life Committee, HLA/NCHLA board member, and long-time Pro-Life Champion, the Most Reverend Joseph F. Naumann.
With his decades of Pro-Life wisdom and experience, Archbishop Naumann calls on us to keep in our minds and our hearts the current deliberations in the US Supreme Court on the Dobbs abortion case and with equal fervor heed the call to serve by contacting your parish or diocese to see how you can help in the national Walking With Moms in Need Initiative.
With warm wishes for a blessed and successful New Year,
Human Life Action/National Committee for a Human Life Amendment

Pray for Dobbs
“For a child is born to us, a son is given to us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:5).
Merry Christmas!
When we step back, it’s shocking that God, in the person of Jesus, entered the world as a vulnerable baby. And yet this baby would grow up and die on the Cross for the sins of the world (John 3:16-17). The pro-life implications of the Incarnation are stunning and motivate us to work for a culture that honors, values, and protects life.
Our work is not over until abortion is unthinkable, which is why we must continue devoting ourselves to prayer and fasting in the coming months, especially as we await a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
To that end, we will be sending out monthly emails with prayers and information related to the case. Additionally, we will host a monthly prayer call with national leaders that you can join.
As we celebrate the birth of Christ, let us recommit to loving, serving, and honoring God in the new year by seeking to protect his precious gift of life.
P.S. Invite your friends and family to join Pray for Dobbs!
And I want to break that down for you in the weeks ahead.
So very simply, I want to urge you to

PRAY FOR DOBBS
Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization could help protect millions of pre-born babies and their moms! Use these resources to continue the Pray for Dobbs prayer and fasting campaign until the decision (likely in June 2022).
When the Supreme Court began its 2021 term just a couple of weeks ago (on Oct. 4), Priests for Life was there, and I was there, and we brought the names of hundreds of thousands of you with us.
For years we have been helping The Justice Foundation to gather names for what is called “The Moral Outcry,” calling abortion a “crime against humanity” and outlining why the high court needs to reverse Roe vs. Wade.
We brought the scrolls of these names, and unfurled them right there on the sidewalk.
I prayed and preached to the gathered crowd, and explained to them the historic moment at which we have arrived!
The nation is enraged, as the extremism of abortion is on full display in America. Various states have removed their remaining limitations on late term abortion, even up to the day of birth. Democrats in Congress have allocated more and more money to the abortion industry, removing longstanding policies that protected our taxpayer dollars from funding abortion. They have also introduced legislation to remove all restrictions on abortion nationwide, and have refused to even protect babies who are born alive after a failed abortion! People are outraged.
We want to give you a chance to express your outrage! The Moral Outcry Petition calls on the Supreme Court to reverse its abortion cases, and gives all Americans an opportunity to voice their moral outrage over abortion by signing the Moral Outcry petition. The goal is to collect over a million signatures on this petition which would constitute severe criticism of the abortion cases, which is a reason under §47(d) of the Law of Judicial Precedent* for overturning Supreme Court decisions. Under expert legal guidance, the reasons the petition gives for reversing Roe have been into Amicus Curiae Briefs for the current Supreme Court abortion case, Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, as well as other appropriate cases making their way through the federal courts.
Abortion is the greatest injustice in the world today. Abortion is a crime against humanity, not a fundamental right.
The five reasons given in the Petition are as follows:
-
New Argument that Abortion is a Crime Against Humanity
-
New scientific evidence (since 1973 and 1992) shows Life Begins at Conception
-
New evidence shows Abortion Hurts Women
-
New, better alternative to abortion – a massive “change in circumstances”- Safe Haven Laws, present in all 50 states, whereby parents who cannot take care of a newborn can anonymously leave the newborn at a safe, designated place, no questions asked.
-
New – a million people are waiting to Adopt Healthy Newborn Infants
The attorney representing The Moral Outcry Petition is Allan E. Parker, Jr., President of The Justice Foundation. For legal questions, contact Allan E. Parker, Jr.
To sign the petition go to www.PetitionForTheUnborn.com
President Biden released his Fiscal Year 2022 budget in which he proposes to eliminate the Hyde Amendment and some related pro-life provisions. Calling for elimination of Hyde in a president’s budget is unprecedented.
Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, Chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities issued a statement expressing deep concerns, saying:
“I call on all government leaders to work toward a budget that truly builds up the common good of all. This should include the many proposals in the President’s budget submission that seek to protect vulnerable people. And it must also preserve the Hyde Amendment and related provisions which have protected millions of unborn babies, and mothers in difficult circumstances, from the tragedy of abortion.”
Archbishop Naumann’s full statement can be read here.
Without the Hyde Amendment and related policies, billions of taxpayer dollars could be used to pay for abortion in the United States and throughout the world.
Don’t let our government make you pay for the taking of innocent human life.
Contact the President and express your strong disagreement with his decision to force taxpayers to fund abortion on demand. At the same time, tell Congress to keep the Hyde Amendment and related policies and to oppose any bill that expands taxpayer funding of abortion.
LET YOUR LEGISLATORS KNOW TO KEEP THE HYDE AMENDMENT:
SIGN A PETITION FOR NO TAXPAYER FUNDED ABORTION:
