Could you help us reach thousands by helping us insure our van?

February 22, 2012 by 6 Comments

Hey guys!  Big favor: Could you help us insure our van? Our vehicle insurance is about to expire and we really need help to renew the policy.

Within the next five weeks we will be traveling over 1600 miles attending youth conferences, conventions, marches and rallies with the opportunity to reach thousands of young people with the human rights for all born and preborn message.  In order to make these events we need to insure our vehicle.  Can you help?

The next five weeks are going to be crazy.  We will be educating young people about abortion, getting young people involved and inspired, getting them some cool pro-life gear, getting young people to make the I Vote Pro-Life First pledge and getting those old enough registered to vote!  But in order to do this we need to renew our vehicle insurance!

Believe it or not our insurance policy is only $396 for a full year!  We have started a ChipIn page where you can “chip in” to help, view our progress, invite others to “chip in” and find out when we have reached our goal.

So please, prayerfully consider helping us in this way.  We appreciate anything you can do.  And we really appreciate your support through your prayers.  Thanks you so much!

All donations are tax-deductible.

Will Buffy the Vampire Slayer abort her child?

February 15, 2012 by 4 Comments

Will Buffy the Vampire Slayer abort her child? Or better yet, slay her child?  (Yes, I shouldn’t have said that)  The latest issue just came out and Buffy confides to Spike, “I am going to have an abortion.”

It’s not a done deal yet, as series writer Andrew Chambliss says, “However it plays out…” which means it could go either way at this point.

I have to admit, I’m totally clueless about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but as I read this article about this year’s season I’m thinking, what kind of comic is this?!!?  Buffy has a drunken blackout in issue #1, finding out she is pregnant and doesn’t know who the father is in issue #5 and then “dealing with the fallout” (deciding to abort her child) in issue #6.

It looks like, after reading this interview with Chambliss, that this may drag out until the end of this season.

What do you think will happen?  Will Buffy the Vampire Slayer abort her child?  Or will she choose life?

Whitney Houston’s pro-life song, Miracle

February 13, 2012 by 1 Comment

As most of you know Whitney Houston passed away yesterday.  This is very sad.  Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to her daughter, her family and her friends.

One thing she did leave us is a great pro-life song, “Miracle.”  Some may interpret it to mean something else, but the lyrics are pretty plain and simple (IMHO!):

How could I throw away a miracle?  How could I face another day?
It’s all of my doing, I made a choice and today, I pay
My heart is full of pain 

Click here for the full lyrics

This is a common way of thinking after a mother has aborted her child.  Fortunately we have great post-abortion healing ministries like Rachel’s Vineyard.


What do you think?  Please pass along / share.

Say NO! To Abortion Pills in Vending Machines – Sign this petition today!

February 9, 2012 by 2 Comments

Earlier this week we learned that Shippensburg University has a vending machine in their Health Center that has, amongst all things, morning-after abortion pills (Plan B). This is outrageous! How is offering morning-after abortion pills to young college students possibly pregnant, scared and in need of some real help – health care? It’s not! To think or say that it is is just political correctness run amok, factually incorrect and/or misguided compassion.

And to offer them in a vending machine? This is beyond outrageous.

I am asking you to sign this petition and “like” the facebook fan page.  If you agree with the statement below go to NoAbortionPillsInVendingMachines.com, sign this statement and share through your social media networks and email lists.  Also, share the facebook fan page on your wall.

Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania is now offering morning after abortion pills (Plan B) to students in a vending machine located at the campus’ health center for $25.

It is obvious that Shippensburg University has placed a higher priority on political correctness than on the safety and well-being of their female students. The birth control pill requires a prescription and a consultation between the patient and doctor before ordering. Plan B is a high-dose version of the birth control which was developed to be taken within 72 hours after intercourse to stop ovulation or abort a newly created human being.

For a university to allow abortion pills to be sold through a vending machine without a doctor’s exam is beyond comprehension. What happened to protecting women’s health? How are vending machine abortions protecting women and giving women in crisis all the facts they need?

I urge you, Dr. William Ruud, President of Shippensburg University, to put your student’s health above politics and political correctness by removing morning-after abortion pills (Plan B) from your vending machine.

Again, if you agree with this go to NoAbortionPillsInVendingMachines.com, sign it and share, “like” the facebook fan page and share it to your wall. Let’s make a difference. Let’s make our voices heard and get these morning-after abortion pills out this vending machine at Shippensburg University.

After you sign the pledge a box pops up asking you to share this petition through your twitter and facebook social networks.  Please do that and help us spread the word.  THANKS!

The Decemberists support Planned Parenthood, says they are a vital resource in the battle against breast cancer

February 7, 2012 by Leave a Comment

During the whole Susan G. Komen for the Cure / Planned Parenthood controversy last week The Decemberists spoke out – on the side of Planned Parenthood, saying that they are, “… a vital resource in the battle against breast cancer.”  Really, guys?  They don’t even offer mammograms!

On a Feb. 2nd post on Facebook The Decemberists announced their displeasure in Komen for cutting off funds to Planned Parenthood, citing a “fear campaign being waged against PP by the right.”  On this post they also announced that they were redirecting funds from their Team Jenny t-shirts and buttons from Komen for the Cure to Planned Parenthood’s Breast Health Emergency Fund.  Did I mention they don’t even provide mammograms?

On Saturday they posted their approval of Komen’s switch-o-roo while also stating that for now on proceeds from their Team Jenny t-shirts and buttons will go to Planned Parenthood’s Breast Health Emergency Fund.   On top of that Jenny personally will be supporting the Oregan and SW Washington affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  Jenny has been personally affected by breast cancer, saying, “Two studies funded by Komen created treatments that are part of my current cancer care.”  I am thrilled that Jenny has battled cancer and come out healthy but it boggles my mind that her and her band would financially support an organization who has little to nothing to do with finding a cure for cancer.  Not only that but Planned Parenthood exasperates the problem through surgical & chemical abortions.

The Decemberists are an indie folk rock band from a recent home of mine, Portland, Oregon.  They have 6 full length CD’s out, the last three on Capitol Records.  They were quoted in Rolling Stone and The Oregonian regarding this issue.

Keep these guys in your thoughts and prayers, that they would withhold financial and vocal support from Planned Parenthood, who are the nation’s largest abortion provider and who has duped most of America into thinking that they are some big supporter of women’s health.

What do you think?  Please share!

VIDEO: Planned Parenthood does not provide mammograms

February 3, 2012 by 10 Comments

In light of the recent controversy regarding Susan G. Komen pulling funding from Planned Parenthood, then apologizing – leaving many of us trying to figure out what is really going on, let’s remember this: Planned Parenthood does not provide mammograms.  They claim they do.  Susan G. Komen for Cure exists to raise awareness about breast cancer, prevention and possibly a cure.  Why did Susan G. Komen for the Cure grant funds to Planned Parenthood when they don’t even provide mammograms?


Share this video.  Help us spread the truth!

Susan G. Komen for the Cure is still supporting Planned Parenthood

February 3, 2012 by 4 Comments

I was totally excited to hear that Susan G. Komen for the Cure was cutting ties to Planned Parenthood.  I posted this on our facebook wall and we got tons of “likes” and positive comments.

Komen also posted a new policy on human embryonic stem cell research.  On it they highlight that they support, “research on … stem cells that … may result in improved understanding of or treatments for breast cancer, but are derived without creating a human embryo or destroying a human embryo.”

This is great stuff!  The pro-life community should be proud of themselves for affecting change – boycotting Susan G. Komen for the Cure for the support of Planned Parenthood and human embryonic stem cell research.  Boycotting and letter writing campaigns work and this is proof.

BUT our work is not done.  Susan G. Komen is still supporting Planned Parenthood.  According to their Nancy Brinker, the founder and CEO (on MSNBC), “We haven’t defunded Planned Parenthood.  We still have three grants that we’ve committed to, at least through another year until the end of the grant cycle.“

And, according to this blog it looks like Susan G. Komen may be changing its tune:

We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities.

I understand that Susan G. Komen has legal obligations to continue current grants.  But it sounds like they are continuing three grants, willing to extend those grants and maybe more while also changing it’s policy totally.

So in other words Susan G. Komen for the Cure is still supporting Planned Parenthood.  It’s to a much lesser degree but it is still support.

I would ask that you continue to thank Susan G. Komen for their decision to drastically cut funding while also continuing to put pressure on them to discontinue the financial support they currently maintain.

Thank you. What do you think?

VIDEO: “You Killed Our Baby! You Don’t Ever Forget That!” exclaims Grey’s Anatomy’s Owen

January 28, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Earlier in the year (as in TV series sitcom year, not calendar year) Christina, a character in Grey’s  Anatomy, aborted her child.  Owen, her husband, reluctantly went along.  Owen and Christina are married.  Owen wants children, Christina does not.  You would think they would talk about these things before getting married, but then that wouldn’t make good TV then, would it?

At the time of the abortion the abortion advocates were ecstatic that an abortion was happening on TV (see this, this and this).  Usually an “unplanned” pregnancy ends up in childbirth, at least on TV and in the movies.  Not in all cases of course, but more than not.  The abortion advocates were thankful for Grey’s Anatomy showing that abortion is just a simple procedure.  No big deal, right?

Now the abortion decision has come to a head in Owen and Christina’s marriage.  The latest episode, “Hope for the Hopeless” aired on January 19th, just three days before the “anniversary” of Roe v Wade / Doe v Bolton US Supreme Court decisions that ushered in abortion on demand in our country.

On this clip you will see Owen and Christina arguing about a number of things in a side room during, interestingly enough, a child’s birthday party.  Once Christina realizes this argument is really about her abortion and her selfishness, she asks, “It’s over. Is it too much to ask that we try and forget it?”  Owen’s reply?  Watch the clip (it’s in the title of the blog!)


So, how do the abortion advocates feel about showing abortion on TV now?

March for Life Weekend wrap-up – Thank You for a successful weekend!

January 27, 2012 by Leave a Comment

The March for Life Weekend for Rock For Life was amazing!  We had an amazing team of young people.  For some they’ve been here before and enjoy the weekend and the opportunities to serve.  For some it was their first time and were amazed and ready to come back next year.

Becca – This weekend was absolutely incredible, seeing the number of people of all ages, faith and walks of life who came together to stand for the rights of the unborn. I feel like God has great things in store for the pro-life movement this year, it will be great to see His impact.

Erik – I just want to thank everyone who gave! This weekend gave me an experience I could have never had without RFL. To see the impact that have on this generation is truly amazing!

Lisa – I’ve been volunteering with RFL for quite sometime and it was such an experience to volunteer yet again this year. I am so indebted to those who make that possible. They are truly a blessing and lives are being saved because of their support.

Nicole – Between RFL and SFLA they both create an amazing experience with supporting an awesome cause. Volunteering for Rock for Life was exciting and exhausting but it is all worth. So much hard work has gone into helping save lives! They do a wonderful job with everything.

Caleb – It was an awesome trip, everyone had a good time, and worked really well together.

Alex – It was an amazing experience! It was incredible to see so many people stand up for something they believe in.

On Saturday and Sunday we helped Students for Life set up and tear down for their conference, which was amazing as always.  If you have never attended Students for Life’s annual conference, you need to do it.

Here at the conference we co-hosted a photo booth with Students for Life.  Nicole Eva Photography took some amazing photos at the booth and throughout the weekend.  Make sure to hire her, she is good!  Click here to view a photo album of the photo booth and click here to view a photo album of other photos from the weekend.

We also treated some attending the conference with a surprise performance by Rocky Loves Emily, an up-and-coming Tooth and Nail band.  These guys rocked the house.  Make sure to check them out here.

Rocky Loves Emily w/friends

The next morning our team helped Students for Life pass out thousands of their signs then we worked at launching IVoteProLifeFirst.com, a collaborative effort between a number of pro-life organizations to get pro-lifers registered to vote AND getting young people pledging to vote for pro-life candidates.  A politician’s position on LIFE is the most important question to be considered when contemplating who to vote for.  If a politician doesn’t advocate human rights for all of us, born and preborn then whose rights will he or she consider stripping away if push came to shove?

So this is a big huge THANK YOU to all who had us in their thoughts, their prayers and also to those who sponsored a pro-life youth activist.  You guys made this happen for us, but more importantly for our Rock For Life team – 15 pro-life youth activists.  We were all so blessed and know that you have made a difference in many lives. THANK YOU!

Unfortunately our annual National Pro-Life Youth Rally had to go from an outside rally with speakers and band performances to a webcast.  Every once-in-a-while the March for Life is hit with rain.  This was the year.  It happens.  Next year we will be out there.

CNN POLL: Most people want most abortions illegal

January 16, 2012 by Leave a Comment

This CNN poll is a few months old but I thought I’d highlight it since the annual March for Life and surrounding activities (Students for Life Conference, National Pro-Life Youth Rally, etc., etc) are happening next weekend!  NOTE: you need to go directly to page 4 and skip the terrorism and evolution questions!

When you first read the poll you may go, “oh no only 21% believe all abortions should be illegal.”  True, this isn’t a majority and ultimately we want all preborn babies to be protected by law.  But when you read more into the poll you will quickly see that the majority of those polled want most abortions illegal.

So here it is in a nutshell:

  1. 21% believe all abortions should be illegal (more of a personhood position)
  2. 41 % believe that abortion should only be legal in a few circumstances, (most likely health, life, rape, incest)

This means that 62% of Americans believe most abortions should be illegal!

But wait, there is more!  Another 12% believe abortion should be legal in most circumstances, which means mostly likely these individuals are against late-term abortions.  So, that means 74% believe all, most or some abortions should be illegal.

Although this is far from a pure pro-life personhood position, it shows you three important things.

  1. Most people believe most abortions should be illegal
  2. The current abortion laws do now line up with the will of the people, and
  3. We have a long way to go in educating the masses on the truths about abortion, the humanity of the child and the fact that abortion is a horrific crime against humanity

Thoughts?
