Were you there on the phone Thursday night -- with hundreds of other pro-life leaders from around the country -- when history was made on the "Emergency South Dakota Briefing" call?
Top national pro-life leaders joined me on the phone to share the latest news, discuss the urgent needs to help South Dakota protect its abortion ban, and detail the sweeping national implications of what is happening RIGHT NOW.
We heard stirring calls to action from...
>> JANET FOLGER, President of Faith2Action
>> JUDIE BROWN, President of American Life League
>> GIANNA JESSEN, abortion survivor
>> FR. FRANK PAVONE, National Director of Priests for Life
>> MOLLY WHITE, Director of Redeemed for Life
>> JIM SEDLAK, Executive Director of STOPP International
>> AND MORE!!
If you got a busy signal, weren't able to get on the line, or just want to re-listen to the call again, you are in luck!
The entire call was recorded and was just posted in its entirety online. For instant access, go to:

All we ask is that you help spread the word to other pro-life leaders across America so they can listen in on this vital discussion! Just send them an email encouraging them to visit:

Let's help South Dakota win this crucial battle!

I was up very late Thursday night because of this very issue - e-mailing every one I know. See my FR page for evidence. So far I've donated $125 - and expect to put in more.
This is not explicitly theological.
This is VERY IMPORTANT however. Every Christian needs to stand up in support of our brothers and sisters in South Dakota.
A passage I hope each of you will take a moment to meditate upon is Proverbs 24:11;12:
11 Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!
12 If you say, "Behold, we didn't know this;" doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
Listen to the MP3! E-mail every pro-life person you know! If you or they know families in South Dakota, e-mail them!
South Dakotans are pro-life. WE CAN WIN THIS! The time to act is NOW!
Thank you so much for the ping!
Latest polling has it in a statistical deadheat. WE CAN WIN THIS!!! but it's going to take help from Americans from all 50 states. REMEMBER: VoteYesForLife DOES NOT need to match Planned Parenthood's $8 Million... but they still need our help.
The MP3 is very inspiring, I have it playing now. Highly recommend.
What kind of immediate support from around the country/world do you need?

A clause in South Dakota's State Constitution has provision allowing voters a window of time to file a petition on legislation to present it to the electorate for approval. Needless to say, Planned Parenthood did exactly that using out-of-state resources (as a footnote, there are numerous allegations of petition fraud currently under investigation).
The abortion ban will be on the ballot. 12 other states have similar legislation but are waiting to see what happens in South Dakota. That is one reason this is so critical that this passes.
South Dakotans are pro-life. However, Planned Parenthood with its cash juggernaut has put together a massive "shock and awe" campaign of misinformation. Some funds are needed by VoteYesForLife to counter this - probably not $8 Million given voters' already-pro-life disposition, but still something.
Right now, the polling has it in a statistical dead-heat - after the ban was down %47 - %39 in late July. WE CAN WIN THIS! We ALL have to play a role - Americans from all 50 states must stand up as this may be the only chance of our lifetimes to overturn Roe v. Wade - the outcome will have a domino effect. Are you with us?

I don't understand what the Emergency South Dakota Briefing is but I take it the Vote Yes for Life is the site to donate to, yes?
The reason this is important is because of its national implications - twelve other states have pending legislation, the polling on the issue is a statistical tie, and the outcome will have a domino effect on those other twelve states. If it passes, they will likely move ahead. If it fails, it could be another decade or more before we can mount the momentum to try again.
This is the biggest chance for weakening Roe since 1989, and the first time EVER voters will have a say.
