National Review Online has a great article refuting an attack on the Sisters of Life -

A defense, after a pretty vicious attack on them by the “RH Reality Check” (“an online community and publication serving individuals and organizations committed to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights”).

It's written by Kathryn Jean Lopez NR's prolife editor.

Culture of Death Goes Straight for a Beacon

Eleanor Bader, co-author of Targets of Hatred: Anti-Abortion Terrorism, is outraged that the Sisters have been so successful in their mission to serve women, children, and families who feel hopeless in the face of a pregnancy. They take women in, they take their children in, they serve them, encourage them, feed them, and get them on their feet. They also serve women that liberal feminism, all too often, leaves behind: those who are mourning the loss of a child who was a casualty of the celebrated “freedom to choose” that isn’t always actually a choice, due to desperation and a failure to see viable alternatives. These are some of the most loving, radiant women you’ll ever meet. And young women! This congregation of women religious has been known to have waiting lists full of women who want to join them in their charism for life.

For all this, the Sisters are “Stoking Fire,” the piece insists. That, or serving their fellow women (among others).

Bader portrays these women as Sisters Moneybags, accumulating convents and other property in a city where non-fetal people (as the RH Reality Check stylebook might have it) are struggling. The Sisters, however, don’t actually own any real estate. Their convents are owned by parishes or the Knights of Columbus. These women take vows of poverty and live them.
