3/31/2014

 

National update:
DAY 27: 321 babies saved from abortion since March 5 ... so far!

Already in this 40 Days for Life campaign, we’ve had reports of 321 babies saved from abortion! We have two reports. One shows the power of a strong, consistent pro-life witness. The other shows the agony a woman goes through when the “choice” is not her own ... [more]

We pray for the gift of openness to children. 

"God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He created them. 

And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” 

— Genesis 1:27-28 

Gosnell Movie “America’s Biggest Serial Killer” Will Tell Story of Abortionist Who Killed Babies Born Alive

3/31/2014

 
He is the abortion practitioner who killed babies in live-birth abortions that were more akin to infanticide than abortion. The media virtually ignored Kermit Gosnell until the pro-life movement launched a concerned effort to call them out on their bias during the early stages of his trial for murder.

Now, Gosnell is prison, having been convicted of murder in the deaths of multiple babies,though he was accused of killing thousands of viable babies. Still, one report from Gallup showed a large percentage of Americans still have no idea who Gosnell is and what he did. A new crowd-funded campaign for a Gosnell movie hopes to change that.

Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer, the directors behind Not Evil Just Wrong andFracknation are behind the Gosnell movie project. Their made-for TV movie is based on real life Grand Jury testimony with actors to tell the Gosnell story.

Nine Years Ago Today, Terri Schiavo Lived Her Last Day

3/31/2014

 
On March 30, 2005, Terri Schiavo had her last full day of life on this earth and both her family and Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life will never forget the last moments they shared with the woman whose former husband won a court order to take her life.

Terri was killed on March 31, 2005 when her former husband won a protracted legal battle against the Schindler family for the right to disconnect her feeding tube. Doctors who examined Terri say she was not in a persistent vegetative state and that her condition could have been improved has she been given access to more medical care and rehabilitative treatment.

NAACP and Hollywood Celebs Receive Big Abortion’s Highest Honor

3/31/2014

 
by Ryan Bomberger
Someone just received a nice shiny award from the nation’s largest abortion chain. It’s not every day that one can simultaneously celebrate racism and heap accolades on an organization (the NAACP) founded to eradicate it.
     Planned Parenthood commemorates never severing from its racist and elitist past by centering a gala on the eugenist founder of the billion-dollar abortion empire--Margaret Sanger. And lest anyone think her original 1939 Negro Project slipped into oblivion, Planned Parenthood reminds us they’ve never stopped using prominent black figures to push their agenda of population control. Last night, Big Abortion had a big night honoring the NAACP, Nancy Pelosi, BET’s “Being Mary Jane”, and ABC Family’s “The Fosters”.
While the NAACP is currently enmeshed in a lawsuit with The Radiance Foundation (and organization that my wife and I founded) flat-out denying that they’ve taken a position on abortion, their organization’s actions prove how adamantly pro-abortion they are. NAACP chapter presidents are merely following the former NAACP president Benjamin Jealous’ lead.

40 Days for Life update

3/25/2014

 
National update:
Day 21 - 244 babies saved
Thankfully, Steve Karlen, our North American outreach coordinator, packed warm clothing for his five campaign stops across the state of New York!

Today, he mentions the cold conditions that these campaigns have endured. But the weather has not deterred them from standing strong for the unborn.

In fact, courageously facing the cold can make your witness on the sidewalk even more profound … in the eyes of those driving by — and those entering the abortion facility.

Supreme Court Hearing Gives Hobby Lobby Reason to Hope HHS Mandate Will be Stopped

3/25/2014

 
The questions from members of the Supreme Court and the tenor of the oral arguments today in the Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood cases against the HHS mandate give observers reason to hope the high court will overturn the controversial Obamacare provision.

In court today former United States Solicitor General Paul Clement argued on behalf of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood, two family businesses whose cases were consolidated before the court. Clement argued that Hobby Lobby and Conestoga are protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and that nothing in the law excludes these family businesses and their owners from religious freedom protections.

“No one should be forced to give up their constitutionally protected civil rights just to open a family business,” said Lori Windham, Senior Counsel for The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and counsel for Hobby Lobby. “This case demonstrates in no uncertain terms that the government’s efforts to strip this family business of its religious rights represent a gross violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the First Amendment.”

DAY 7: Bringing light into the darkness
March 11th, 2014 by admin
Abortion facilities are dark places … their rooms are filled, not with hope and relief, but with despair and loneliness.

For the first days of this campaign, we’ve talked about how the light has broken through the darkness at abortion centers – and, as a result, babies scheduled to be aborted have been saved.

St. Louis Update:
by Brian Westbrook
Today, one of our LIFEChoice Interns, Kayla Inman, had the opportunity to speak with a woman on the sidewalk who shared her story with Kayla, including the fact that her mother had gone into Planned Parenthood when she was pregnant with her. "She ended up leaving and going to birthright" the woman shared, "and she ended up choosing life...my life." The woman also shared that she had gone into Planned Parenthood at a previous time in her life due to ovarian health issues, but simply couldn't stay because of the "eerie" feeling she experienced while in the clinic. Kayla says that the woman hopes to become a volunteer for Thrive and join in the efforts of our local pro-life community to end the catastrophe of abortion  right here in St. Louis! 

Hope-filled stories such as these are wonderful reminders to us that we need movements such as the 40 Days for Life Campaign to help us protect the up and coming generations, the generation of our children, from a culture filled with death. Every single mother and child are worth praying for...worth standing vigil for...and so we ask you, please, to join us in the upcoming 33 days that are left of our campaign! YOUR witness out on the sidewalk is a powerful thing...your witness on the sidewalk can help save a generation of mothers' from the heartache of abortion and protect a generation of pre-born children from its tragedy! 

We need you. They need you. The Lord needs you. Please, come and pray with us, so that more future men and women will have the opportunity to say, "she chose life...she chose my life."
