American Life League’s Monthly Emails Provide the Latest Updates on Your Charitable Giving
American Life League’s Charity Watchlist is a free online tool that provides information on 501(c)(3) charities and where they stand on abortion, contraception, IVF/ART, human embryonic stem cell research, cloning, and advocacy of LGBTQ+ lifestyles.
Many big-name organizations use donor gifts to support these offenses against life and family, often without the donor’s knowledge. That’s why American Life League not only relaunched the Charity Watchlist in 2023 but now offers monthly email updates about these charities reviewed and added to the list.
Using a red, yellow, and green rating system, ALL provides information on whether an organization supports any of the offenses against life mentioned above (red rating), if an organization rejects offenses against life and states its pro-life values, mission, and works (green rating), or if certain policy positions cannot be verified at this time (yellow rating).
Now with our new CWL email list, you can receive the latest updates on new charities reviewed for the watchlist. Our December email highlighted four charities that you can find on our green list and that are worthy of pro-life support. December’s Charity Watchlist updates include:

Over 200 College Students Gather to Pray in Front of Abortion Facility
The College Fix recently reported that more than 200 students from Christendom College’s Shield of Roses club traveled over an hour from Front Royal, Virginia, to Falls Church to be prayerful witnesses in front of an abortion facility.
The club hosted its annual “Mega Shield” event, which invites more students than usual to pray at the facility. The club also hosts a weekly prayer outside the facility.
“Mega Shield is an opportunity to make clear what we stand for as a Christendom community,” Thomas Cahill, the club’s president, told The College Fix. “We are a Catholic college, and we see being pro-life and pro-family at the heart of our identity as Catholics.”
“We see the abortion issue as a primarily spiritual battle,” Cahill continued. “The most important thing that we can do to change hearts and minds, then, is pray for conversions.”
This event is inspiring, and the club’s witness brings so much hope for the younger generation.
Christendom’s Shield of Roses Club is very similar to ALL’s Marian Blue Wave, which invites people to pray a weekly rosary for an end to all abortion. Half of the MBW prayer partners pray in front of facilities, and the other half pray in their homes or with church groups.
These two groups are rooted in the fact that abortion is a spiritual battle.
The MBW now boasts over 10,000 prayer partners, with more joining every day. Since the program’s creation, its members have collectively prayed over three million rosaries for an end to abortion and have watched more than 100 Planned Parenthood facilities close, including the largest facility in Texas, which the group prayed specifically for in 2021.
To join the Marian Blue Wave, visit online here.
Join us in praying for the student members of the Shield of Roses club as they continue to be a prayerful and peaceful witness of God’s love to those who visit the abortion facility in Falls Church.

Pro-Life Education
Culture of Life Studies Program
Honoring the Blessed Mother: In this downloadable lesson, students learn the story of the Annunciation and Mary’s “yes” to God to become the mother of our Savior. Mary played one of the most important roles in the history of our salvation as the mother of our Savior, which is why we choose to honor her in a very special way with feast days throughout the year. We can also turn to Our Lady for her help as we work to build a culture of life. Mary’s “yes”—her “fiat” to God—reinforces the pro-life message in many ways. Through Mary’s example, we learn how to love, affirm, and respect every human being as a gift during every stage of life. On sale now for just $3! ORDER HERE

Pro-Life Social Media
The Power of X
A decade ago, you needed to pay for a PR firm who could book a TV appearance or get a major newspaper to quote you to get hundreds of thousands of eyes and ears on your message. Today, a single tweet at a critical moment can evolve into a national conversation that is far, far removed from the original post. Here’s how one started:
Your Christmas ham had a heartbeat
— PETA UK (@PETAUK) December 1, 2025
Your Christmas ham had a heartbeat
Your Christmas ham had a heartbeat
Your Christmas ham had a heartbeat
Your Christmas ham had a heartbeat
Your Christmas ham had a heartbeat
Which then became:
Your preborn babies had a heartbeat
— William Allen 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 (@wmallen2024) December 1, 2025
Your preborn babies had a heartbeat
Your preborn babies had a heartbeat
Your preborn babies had a heartbeat
Your preborn babies had a heartbeat https://t.co/NoO3xiSxTk
Which turned into:
A fetus is not a baby
— Saint Lars Iggy (@LarsTheBadMan) December 2, 2025
A fetus is not a baby
A fetus is not a baby
A fetus is not a baby
A fetus is not a baby
A fetus is not a baby
A fetus is not a baby
A fetus is not a baby
A fetus is not a baby
A fetus is not a baby
A fetus is not a baby
A fetus is not a baby https://t.co/8gqMOTnVzr
The original tweet about a turkey’s heartbeat becomes irrelevant. X users remix it into a conversation about protecting the preborn child, which eventually gets the attention of one US senator from Utah:
If a fetus isn’t a baby then … what is it? https://t.co/JVdWBAT6mV
— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) December 4, 2025
A human fetus is a young human being and, yes, is also a human baby. There is no reason to believe otherwise.
— Dermot Kearney (@DermotKearney3) December 3, 2025
And why if a person kills a pregnant woman are they charged with 2 separate homicides in 38 states?
— Always Looking for the Truth (@lehmanlaw) December 4, 2025
A fetus when we want it dead, a baby when we want it alive. Do you think this is science?
— Mike Langiewicz (@LangiewiczMike) December 4, 2025
@LarsTheBadMan you may not know what a fetus is, but I do know that abortion is the single greatest threat to the future of our Republic and its declining population.
