Summer Festivals Tour officially over!

September 30, 2011 by Leave a comment

The Summer Festivals Tour is officially over. This past weekend we exhibited at our final event of the summer, The Awakening Festival. OK some of you are like, Erik the summer has been over for quite some time. Well, not exactly. Fall officially started last Friday, September 23rd. Anyways, lets not split hairs!

The main thing is that our summer-ish travels are over. We had an amazing time of ministry, meeting and praying with a ton of young people, educating, activating, equipping them to be effective pro-life warriors in their communities, high schools and college campuses. We drove 6,948 miles exhibiting at 12 festivals, speaking and exhibiting at one concert and one youth group as well as one Warped Tour date! This is an increase from our 2010 Summer Festivals Tour where we drove 2,666 miles to exhibit at 6 festivals – our first summer since 1998 as an independent organization. And we are looking forward to the summer of 2012 where we plan on building off of these numbers – exhibiting and speaking at more events!

With all the young people who signed up with us this summer we have plans on starting a number of Rock For Life groups so stay tuned!

So thank you so much for your generous support and your prayers! We couldn’t have done any of this without you!

Pro-Choice or Pro-abortion?

September 29, 2011 by 12 Comments

Has anyone ever insisted that you use the term “pro-choice” rather than “pro-abortion?”  Need a good way to respond?

I recently received a comment on a blog post about using the term “pro-abortion.”  Here is the comment:

People who aren’t pro-life are not pro-abortion; they’re pro-choice. If pregnant, I wouldn’t get an abortion but i’m happy I had the CHOICE, even if I pick to carry my baby to term. You should use the right phrases or your points seem less credible. -Sara

Here’s my response:

Sara, Thanks for visiting and commenting. Let’s use your line of thinking and apply it to another social injustice. Try this:

“People who aren’t anti-slavery are not pro-slavery; they’re pro-choice. If rich, I wouldn’t own a slave but I’m happy I had the CHOICE, even if I pick to not own a slave. You should use the right phrases or your points seem less credible.”

How does your argument sound now? -Erik

What do you think?  Try it and let me know how it works.

Planned Parenthood to be investigated

September 28, 2011 by Leave a comment

Great news!  Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider is being investigated by Congress!  On September 15th a Congressional Committee sent Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards a letter that communicated its concerns regarding their operations and how they use federal funds.  Documentation is being requested on how Planned Parenthood keeps its federal funds separate from their abortion business, how they are notifying law enforcement regarding reporting statutory rape and sex trafficking.

Of course they aren’t keeping their federal funds separate from their abortion business so it’ll be interesting to see how they comply.  You can read the letter here.

And we all know they aren’t contacting the proper authorities when it comes to statutory rape and human sex trafficking as you can see by this video and this one.  I wonder how they’ll wiggle their way out of this one.

Planned Parnethood aborts one baby every 96 seconds.  Planned Parenthood receives $11 taxpayer dollars every second.  Planned Parenthood, at the very least should not be funded by our tax dollars.  Ultimately, Planned Parenthood and their affiliates, as long as there are aborting babies, covering up for statutory rape and sex trafficking should be shut down.

Cecile Richards has 2 weeks to comply.  That is tomorrow!  Let’s hope and pray that this Congressional Committee, the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the investigation led by Cliff Stearns, (the Chairman of the Subcomittee on Oversight and Investigations) will be able to overcome the upcoming attacks by the pro-abortion forces and bring the truth about Planned Parenthood and their illegal operations to light!

How pro-life is your state?

September 19, 2011 by 4 Comments

How pro-life is your state?  According to this graph Indiana is the most pro-life state while Oregon, New Hampshire and Vermont are tied for most pro-abortion.

This graph is based on state regulations / restrictions on abortion and not the actual hearts and minds of those residing in the state.  Regardless, interesting info.

Where does your state stand?  For the full graph click here.

Fatherhood Begins in the Womb

September 15, 2011 by 1 Comment

Did you know:

  1. 41% of all US children are born to non-married mothers
  2. 72.3% of all black children are born in homes with no fathers
  3. 84% of abortions are performed on non-married mothers
  4. Children (without fathers in the home) are 5 times more likely to live in poverty than homes with married parents
  5. Children (without fathers in the home) are twice as likely to drop out of school than their peers with married parents

This isn’t a dis on single-parents or single moms.  Many mothers don’t have a choice.  Many moms are forced to raise their children alone, at least for a time.  Our hats are tipped to those who take on the extra burden of single parenting.

Where are the fathers?  Fatherhood doesn’t start at birth or if you want the child or not.  Fatherhood is born when your child is conceived.  Roe v Wade / Doe v Bolton has created for many men an aura of selfishness and irresponsibility.  It is time for men to be men.   It is time to share the truth that children are best born into a home of a man and a woman committed to each other and the children they have and may conceive.

 Fatherhood Begins in the Womb is an excellent new joint campaign between The Radiance Foundation and the Issues4Life Foundation.  Check it out and get involved!

PHOTOS: Pro-Choice response to a Pro-Life display? Upside crosses, fake blood and baby feet…

April 27, 2011 by 4 Comments

Pro-choice vandalism occurs more often than many believe, know about or want to know about.  Here a pro-life display (at Clarion University during “Life Week”) of crosses representing the number of babies aborted daily are turned upside down, some even covered in blood.

The upside down cross isn’t always considered anti-Christian or Satanic.  Simon Peter requested (out of respect for his savior Jesus Christ) and was granted to be crucified upside down – hence the upside down cross.  Although in this instance of “pro-choice” opposition, with the blood covered on some of the vandalized crosses I don’t think this was out of respect for Jesus or His peaceful, pro-life teachings.

To make matters even worse, fake blood was splattered on the side-walk, the phrase “pro-choice” written in fake blood and definitely the most disturbing of all – baby feet drawn in fake blood.

Will the University look into this? Will this be considered a Hate-Crime? How long will it take for the “pro-choice” groups on campus to condemn this act and do all that they can to bring justice to the perpetrators?

VIDEO: Kalled Out’s Pro-Life Song – Margie’s Song

April 6, 2011 by Leave a comment

Yesterday we published our latest podcast featuring an interview with Kalled Out and we also played part of their pro-life song, Margie’s Song.

Why is Bobby Alan Westfall and Doc Roe, the two guys in Kalled Out, pro-life?  Listen to Margie’s Song, a song about Bobby’s mother who became pregnant with his older brother as a high school teen.  The pressure to abort was great.  Instead of giving in, Margie choose LIFE!  Click here to listen to the podcast for the full story

Along with this song they’ve also released a video to go along with it.  I’m posting it below.

Help these guys share their story and support pro-life bands!  Share this song, video and podcast on all your social media outlets.  Thanks!
