You probably have air in the lines or the brake booster is losing vacuum. Have the brakes bleed and have someone put a vacuum gauge on the booster,

If the pressure pump on a teves II anti-lock system in a 1990 Buick Lesabre is bad will you still have brakes?
You will have no brake assist, so the pedal will be very hard. You will also have no pressure at the rear brakes. Only the fronts will work without the pressure pump.
What is usually wrong with my ABS system when the ABS light brake light are on and the brakes work with a hard pedal pressure?
In most cases, the brakes will function fine even if the ABS is not working (you just won't have the ABS feature). If you have to exert more pressure than normal on the brakes, you can be looking at an issue with the brake booster or some other part not necessarily associated with the ABS system. It sounds like the ABS light might be a secondary symptom of a larger problem. I would recommend taking the vehicle to a qualified shop asap.

What would cause the anti-lock brake light to come on and stay on when the brakes work fine?
A problem with your anti-lock braking system. Your brakes and your ABS are two different issues. Your ABS system keeps your brakes from locking when coming to a hard stop. If it is not working correctly your light will come on. Best to have a shop look at it.
What does a brake booster do?

How abs brakes work?
by increasing the friction ABS brakes have the same friction as standard brakes, the way they work is to release the brake force to a wheel that stops turning preventing lock up and loss of steering control.
