America implemented a record number of pro-life laws in 2011. It is clear that we are consistently becoming a stronger pro-life country, but that is but a fraction of the indication that my generation will be the one to end abortion.
Polls are showing Americans (especially those under 35) are more pro-life than ever, even though Planned Parenthood so desperately clings to the falsity that America is a “pro-choice” nation. Most notably, even though nearly half their billion-dollar revenue is now granted to them via taxpayer dollars, Planned Parenthood saw an $85,000,000 decline in private donations between 2009 and 2010. At this point the abortion giant has been defunded in nine states, including New Hampshire, which stripped funding from Planned Parenthood just last week. Considering science has long since proven that the unborn are unique, individual human beings from the moment of conception, and we have the ability to prove this, especially with modern ultrasound and sonogram technology, it is but a matter of time before Roe collapses entirely. The pro-life movement is a youth-oriented movement. Mainstream movies like Juno and Knocked Up (although crude) that depict a pro-life message will continue to become increasingly popular, and strongly pro-life movies that aren’t mainstream (like Bella and soon-to-be-released October Baby) will become so. Regarding the March for Life in 2010, NARAL president Nancy Keenan admitted her concern for the vast number of pro-life youth activists. “There are so many of them, and they are so young,” she said. She’s right—the overwhelming majority of attendees at the March for Life are young, and there are a lot of us. A whole lot. Under hail of criticism CBS relents, adds some photos of pro-lifers to March for Life album1/28/2012
CBS had uploaded a photo album with the title “Activists Hold Annual March For Life On Roe v. Wade Anniversary” – and then failed to include ANY photos of pro-life activists or the March for Life, instead posting five photos of a miniscule group of pro-abortion counter protesters.
Well, guess what? CBS got completely snowed under with negative comments. Tons of them. And now – surprise! – CBS has discovered that, oh, there were a whole pile of pro-life activists at the March for Life, and they DO have photos of them after all! (link to article and photo) (link to CBS photos) Alveda King, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.‘s niece, told The Daily Caller that Planned Parenthood should not receive any taxpayer funds and that her uncle opposed abortion. She encouraged President Barack Obama to watch films like “Blood Money” that show the high levels of genocide caused by abortion.
“It’s very clear that even if none of the three-plus million that goes to Planned Parenthood from the tax dollars every year [directly funds abortions], it enables them to use other dollars because they’re being enabled by that tax grant so I do not believe that Planned Parenthood should receive any money from the taxpayers of America,” she told TheDC after appearing at Republican Rep. Allen West’s “Conservative Black Forum” on Capitol Hill. “There are so many other programs that are in dire need that would be life-affirming. My uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was pro-life. He was not pro-abortion. (link to video and article) This past Saturday, January 21, in Dallas, several thousand people gathered downtown to march to the federal building for a public rally. I was one of them. Road blocks were set up. Half the city center was shut down. Thirty-three police and one helicopter escorted what police unofficially estimated to be 8,000 people through the heart of the city and back.
The local paper, The Dallas Morning News, did not cover it. Not a single photo. Not even a whisper. The West Coast March for Life, attended by 50,000 was ignored by local news as highlighted by blogger and pundit Michelle Malkin and other attendees. In Washington D.C., a crowd that has been estimated as numbering between 100,000 and 400,000 people marched down Constitution Avenue to protest abortion. The New York Times did not report on it. (read more) January 18, 1987, John Piper preached a sermon to expose the evil of abortion. Since this sermon he has preached against abortion every year on the Sanctity of Life Sunday, which correlates with the dark anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
(link to sermon - Rescuing Unborn Children: Required and Right) Pastor John: On December 19 eight of us from Bethlehem were among the 92 arrested while participating in a rescue at Planned Parenthood on Ford Parkway in St. Paul. [We] simply sat in front of the door to say by our action: without violence we will do what we can to stop child-killing here today. Is that remarkable? Not very. But here’s something that is: Liberty Ann Hinkle was born 3 and ½ months premature March 1987. She weighed 1 lb. 3 oz. She lived. I have a picture of her when she was born and one a year later. She is sitting up and smiling with a very lady-like bonnet. Last week in St. Paul a woman 21 weeks pregnant paid to have the medical people kill her baby. What was the difference between these two babies? Perhaps a week in age. In one case the mother and medical people bent every effort for life. In the other they used their know-how to kill. Wouldn’t you sit down in front of a door to separate a baby from a killer?

Wade Supreme Court decision that opened the floodgates of abortion in this country. Hundreds of thousands more are expected to join the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. and state capitals across the nation on Monday, January 23, to protest the continuing slaughter, which has claimed the lives of more than 53.9 million unborn babies since 1973.
The 8th annual Walk for Life West Coast drew an estimated 40,000 to 50,0000 marchers, forming a throng that stretched from City Hall along a two-mile parade route down San Francisco’s busy Market Street to The Embarcadero. The marchers prayed, sang hymns, and chanted pro-life slogans as they walked through one of America’s most liberal bastions. As in years past, they were met at various points along the way by pro-abortion hecklers who yelled profanity and who sometimes attempted to initiate confrontations with the marchers. However, the pro-abortion forces have dwindled dramatically over the years — both in size and passion. According to news reports, a “pro-choice” rally in San Francisco on the same day attracted only about 200 supporters. (read more) Thirty-nine years have gone by since the Supreme Court made its decision in the Roe v. Wade case. The amount of Abortions done have toppled over 54 million in the past 39 years. Last year alone there were over 60 pro-life bills enacted. Now, in 2012 there is increasing momentum on the pro-life front as thousands participated in yesterday's “March for Life”.
It was a rainy day in Washington D.C. but that did not deter supporters from coming out. Estimates show that between 60,000-90,000 enthusiastic pro-lifers showed up for this event. The city was absolutely inundated with promoters of life. (link to Manhattan Declaration blog) A new estimate published by the National Right to Life Committee indicates there have been an estimated 54,559,615 abortions since the Supreme Court handed down its 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision allowing virtually unlimited abortions.
The number means there are more than 3,300 abortions daily and 137 abortions per hour every hour in the United States. Translated another way, an abortion is done about every 30 seconds in the United States. (link to full article) LOCATION: Best Choice operated by ThriVe St. Louis
