HLI Leader Fr. Euteneuer Issues Ten Challenges for the Pro-Life Movement 
in 2008

By Fr. Tom Euteneuer, President of Human Life International

As we gear up for next Tuesday's March for Life in Washington DC, I 
offer this list of challenges to the pro-life movement in America. If we 
really wish to beat the abortion culture we have to mature as a 
movement. Thirty-five years of the same strategies and ideas have not 
gained us the victory we seek because the fight against the most 
pervasive spiritual evil that has ever entered the world can only be won 
on God's terms. The pro-life movement has invested more in political and 
cultural change than in spiritual change. Let us not be afraid to fight 
Goliath's weapons of mass destruction with the faith of David who came 
against the giant "in the name of the Lord of Hosts." (1 Sam 17:45)
*
1) Get down on our knees and ask the one true Savior to end abortion *- 
The pro-life movement needs to humbly admit that abortion is such a 
massive evil and so deeply rooted in our social fabric that no human 
power can eliminate it. While we need to vote for pro-life politicians, 
they are not our saviors. Abortion needs to be driven out by the 
spiritual authority of Christ's church like an unclean spirit. Once the 
pro-life movement begins to seriously fight abortion in its spiritual 
dimension, we will see some real pro-life victories in politics and 
society. We can't say that prayer hasn't worked until it's actually been 
tried.
*
2) Fast for the conversion of abortion promoters *- "Some demons are not 
driven out except by prayer and fasting," said the Lord (Mt 17:21). A 
regular habit of tangible sacrifices for those most immersed in the grip 
of the abortion demon will erode the power of this evil. The Lord just 
needs an army of souls who are willing to embrace this practice - then 
astonishing results will abound. Why not go back to fasting or 
abstaining from meat on Fridays for this cause?
*
3) Remind the Christian churches-again-that abortion exists with their 
permission *- History will judge the churches of Christ that were 
apathetic toward abortion more harshly than the churches of Germany 
during the 30s and 40s. Christians living in a free society aren't being 
sent to gas chambers for speaking out, so we have no excuse. It has been 
said that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in the 
face of a moral crisis, do nothing. Christians must know that we will be 
held accountable if we are silent and indifferent to the plight of 
Christ's least brethren.

*4) Embrace the embryonic stem cell and euthanasia issues with the same 
fervor as abortion *- Let's not adopt the same logic as the pro-aborts 
who dismiss the pre-born child and the inconvenient handicapped person 
as "not viable" and look the other way when they are destroyed for 
profit, or worse, market them as material for extermination. Let's 
recognize that our defense of life must remain rock solid through the 
entire life spectrum, no matter how small or vulnerable.
*
5) Go on the offensive against Planned Parenthood's funding *- Abortion 
is not the only source of money for the Planned Parenthood baby-killers; 
they are awash with cash due to the profits from their "clinic business" 
(i.e., selling birth control and sterilizations) and senseless 
government funding for "family planning." Pro-life groups not willing to 
cut off their funding stream for contraception will just continue to see 
the PP monster grow and will never effectively undermine the demand for 
abortion.

*6) Boycott corporations and organizations that fund or promote abortion 
*- The abortion industry lusts for public support of any kind. 
Businesses and organizations that fund the baby-killers need to be 
awakened, and rather sharply, by the pro-life conscience of our society. 
Companies that refuse to see abortion's moral dimension must be made to 
feel-economically - that abortion is a really bad business decision. And 
don't hide your light under a bushel basket: make a public witness, 
write a letter, stage a picket. Let others know that you dissent from 
the culture of death.
*
7) Educate doctors that abortifacient birth control is chemical homicide 
*- Most physicians conveniently overlook the abortifacient nature of all 
chemical birth control methods. Doctors are complicit in the chemical 
deaths of millions of babies and need to be told that they will be held 
accountable before the Throne of God for every lethal prescription that 
bears their signatures. If you care about his or her soul, you will 
educate your doctor! *[PFLI note: this would also include pharmacists 
who are trained for a minimum 6 years in the US with a doctorate entry 
level degree required]*

*8) Challenge the accepted notion that condoms and birth control reduce 
abortions *- Reverse that lie with the truth: namely, that birth control 
does not reduce abortions, it increases them. Why else would a society 
saturated by birth control still have 1.3 million abortions? Almost 60% 
of women who go into abortion clinics cite failed birth control as their 
reason for aborting. Remember that the same folks who sell abortion also 
sell birth control, and they're making a killing.

*9) Reject politicians who believe in rape, incest, life-of-the-mother 
and fetal deformity "exceptions*" - Political candidates who believe 
that these "exceptions" are legitimate are really saying that it's okay 
to kill some babies and save others. They are worse than false prophets; 
they are frauds who perpetuate the notion that we can adopt the values 
of the devil while still serving God. Vote pro-life, not pro-some-life.

*10) Recruit Hispanics and other minorities into the pro-life movement 
*- While we march on Washington DC, the abortion industry is scheming 
more ways to get minority women into their killing centers and 
capitalize on their vulnerabilities as immigrants, legal or illegal. 
Every pro-life group needs to put Hispanic outreach on the agenda 
immediately so that their largely Catholic values and culture will not 
be paganized by the politics of death.
