BOSTON CARDINAL O'MALLEY WITHDRAWS CARITAS CHRISTI FROM POTENTIAL 
ABORTION SCANDAL 

*Washington, DC (26 June 2009)* -- The following is a statement from 
American Life League president Judie Brown regarding Boston Cardinal 
Sean O'Malley's announcement that archdiocese-affiliated Caritas Christi 
Healthcare has withdrawn ownership of CeltiCare Health Plan. The 
announcement comes only two days after A.L.L. announced it would launch 
an investigation into the scandal.

"Praise God! After months of tireless effort from American Life League 
and pro-life heroes in Boston and around the country to expose a 
potential scandal only days away from becoming a tragic betrayal of 
Catholicism's unwavering commitment to the dignity of the human person, 
Cardinal Sean O'Malley has heard our voices and will end the joint 
venture with abortion-providing Centene Corp!

We profoundly thank Cardinal O'Malley for his courage, leadership and 
pastoral concern for the health and well-being of those youngest members 
of his archdiocese. He has set a beautiful example of dedication and 
charity for those poorest of the poor -- the preborn.

Cardinal O'Malley has answered our call and beat the clock as the 
minutes ticked away until the July 1 launch of the new CeltiCare Health 
Plan and the Catholic Church's participation in the intrinsic evil of 
abortion.

Together with the thousands of American Life League supporters whose 
voices cried out in horror to the Cardinal at the thought of the 
Archdiocese of Boston supporting and promoting abortion, we congratulate 
Cardinal O'Malley on his commitment to the Faith -- even during this 
time of severe financial crisis.

It has been American Life League's privilege and honor to work alongside 
Massachusetts heroes Carol McKinley, C.J. Doyle of Catholic Action 
League and many other Boston pro-lifers in our effort to bring this 
potential scandal to light.

Their constant vigilance and unwavering dedication to truth were a clear 
voice of conscience in Boston and the archdiocese is incredibly blessed 
to have such soldiers for Christ in their pews.

What happened in Boston will ring out far beyond the potential scandal 
that could have involved Caritas Christi and thereby the Archdiocese. 
Cardinal O'Malley's reaffirmation of the Faith, when it would have been 
all too easy to compromise, is a sign of the vitality of United States 
Catholics' commitment to human life and personhood.

American Life League and our supporters are humbled to stand alongside 
Cardinal O'Malley as a sign of contradiction to the culture of death."
