Palliative care: The new stealth Euthanasia
by John Mallon

I'm happy to introduce a new feature this month: original content on our web site that you won't find in our magazine. It happened out of necessity. We were blessed with so much good information that we couldn't resist. Take our story on the HPV vaccine Gardasil. We wanted to present an update but the story kept growing and growing. So, here's a chance to read the story in the magazine and even more.

We also spotlight the work of one extraordinary family, the Michaels, who run Small Victories ministry. Their Granite City, Illinois, pro-life outreach can boast of saving over 2,000 babies so far. Quite an accomplishment! Read all about them here andÑsomething we didn't have room for in the magazineÑthe amazing proclamation that their pastor, Monsignor Steffen, and Pope Benedict XVI sent.

All of us here at Celebrate Life wish you a happy, holy and healthy holiday season. Until we meet in 2010, have a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

P.S. The March for Life is just around the corner. Can you believe it? Make plans to join us at American Life League's Training and Activism Week in Washington, D.C., January 20-23. Meet and network with pro-lifers from all over the country as you enjoy music, praise and worship. To learn more, go to http://www.all.org/taw/
