1. Boston Action Alert

Starting this weekend, thousands of pro-aborts will be swarming Boston for the Democratic National Convention.  While we do not endorse political parties or candidates, we do oppose the slaughter of babies, no matter who is promoting it.  The official Democratic Party platform supports the slaughter of one-third of our generation through surgical abortion.

In response, members of Rock for Life Boston and Rock for Life Capital District (Albany, N.Y.), along with many other pro-life activist groups, will be a voice for the babies during this time.  If you are in the area, we ask that you prayerfully consider attending one or more of their events.  The babies and their mothers need you to stand up and be a voice for them while politicians speak out against life.

For a list of events, click here.  For additional information from an activist in the trenches, call 717-341-2994.

3. Hollywood and Abortion

Rapper Joe Budden has recently expressed his disdain for babies and women.  On Usher’s latest single, Confessions, Pt. II Joe can be heard stating the following:

               “Pray that she abort that, If she’s talkin’ ‘bout keepin’ it
                     One hit to the stomach, She’s leakin’ it.”

Here a musician is advocating murdering his own child.  If his girlfriend doesn’t comply?  Physically abuse her is his answer.

In Joe’s world life is cheap.  In ours life is sacred.  Pray for Joe that he has a change of heart—from a heart hardened to life to one that celebrates it, while honoring and respecting women.

5. News of Interest

Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider is now offering a new t-shirt in its online store.  The front reads, “I had an abortion.”  Unlike Silent No More's campaign of “I regret my abortion,” the wearer of this shirt may seem prideful and unashamed of the fact that she has aborted her own child.  Burying her pain may eventually lead to very destructive behavior.  To view the shirt, go here.

Speaking of Planned Parenthood, they recently hosted a conference for 5^th – 9^th graders in Waco, Texas called Nobody’s Fool.  Here they barred parents from attending the sessions, along with distributing disturbing materials to minors that encouraged sexual immorality.  For additional information, go here.

Finally, ALL’s Summer Crusade for Life was recently denied permission by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to speak at parishes in the local diocese.  But that didn’t slow them down.  Instead, they were found praying at local abortion mills and speaking to groups not located in local parishes.  The Crusade for Life is a group of eleven college students walking from Maine to DC this summer spreading the message that you cannot be both Catholic and pro-abortion.  For more info, go here
