The Year of Infanticide

John, The abortion industry is getting desperate. Faced with declining abortion numbers, internal turmoil, and growing pro-life momentum, Planned Parenthood and its allies spent 2019 pushing a slate of radical laws--and even advocating for infan…

History won't forget them

DAY 37: Babies are "parasites"

DAY 35: Persecution

John, Persecution: it's the greatest compliment abortion supporters can pay you. From heckling to stolen vigil signs to a full-blown, pro-abortion protest, attempts to silence you prove that your prayers are impacting the abortion industry's bottom line. The …

DAY 33: A grave reminder

John, There's no such thing as a safe abortion. It's deadly for the baby. And--as 40 Days for Life participants around the globe have seen firsthand--it's dangerous for the moms too. Whenever an ambulance appears at a…

DAY 31: Twins!

John, It's the most exciting word you can hear during a 40 Days for Life campaign: TWINS! Whatever crisis leads a woman to an abortion facility, news of twins would seem to DOUBLE her motivation to have an abortion. Instead, when many expectant …

DAY 23: Choice is real...so is coercion

John, The choice of abortion is like all choices--it comes with consequences. Abortion advocates hide behind this term as if abortion is a flippant choice that happens, and all involved simply move on. The former CEO of Planned Parenthood public…

DAY 16: Keep it simple

John, Abortion is a simple issue. While adults twist the truth to rationalize the irrational, children inherently understand that you can never, ever hurt a baby. In San Luis Obispo, California, a young boy asked his grandmother, "That sign sa…
