An announcement that a new organization committed to standing for the unborn has just been launched by our friend, Janet Folger -- one of the true leaders in the pro-life movement.
It's called Faith 2 Action -- an exciting grassroots organization that is being formally announced with a special press conference in Washington, D.C. that impacts the pro-life debate.
Faith2Action will be working to link pregnancy centers, state groups and university students-providing a safe haven to communicate and strategize. As well as the tools to get them started. Beginning with links that will register them to vote-and tell them where the candidates stand!
Ever get discouraged when writing to a legislator? What is the bill number? The address? And where are my stamps? Well, that will be made easy.
Soon you'll be able to send your letter by e-mail, fax, Western Union mailgram, or the mail with the click of your mouse. Want to turn your e-mail into a letter to the editor? How would you like it to be sent to every newspaper in your state-at once? It's coming-watch for it!
I think we can work smarter-and more efficiently than we have in the past by using technology and working together! What we need to do is more important than which group you're with.
Faith2Action is about taking our focus off of our uniforms and onto the battle. It's about combining our strengths and winning. Don't forget how big our God is-and don't be afraid to try and do something that has never been done. Remember, God never told anyone in the Bible to do what they could do on their own. Trust Him, step out in faith, and He will blow you away-I promise.
Janet L. Folger
So what do you do when you're wrong? If you're the abortion movement, you dig in your heels and scream all the louder. But chanting the word "choice"-even for 30 years-can't overshadow what it is that's being chosen.
Though the media clamors and the politicians cater, the emperor has no clothes. Any two-year-old will tell you. Go ahead, pull out a biology book and ask one. Even the child of the most ardent pro-abortion advocate will describe the "unborn entity" using the "b-word"-"baby"-something which results being swiftly sent to his room, no doubt. They are at odds with biology, technology, and the truth, and that is why the abortion movement has lost.
They are also at odds with women. Sure, they carry the "pro-choice" signs and all, but for 30 years, the only "choice" they have offered women as a solution to her problems is: a dead child. As a woman let me say, women deserve more than that. And it's the pro-lifers who are giving them more. Meeting real needs-from a place to live, to medical care, to financial support. And there's another difference: while those who chant about being "pro-women" charge hundreds of dollars for each "final solution," all pro-life help is free.
The abortion movement has even lost their support from the very women who executed their advice and had abortions. In the excruciating aftermath, they were told to take two aspirins and call someone else. They did. They called pro-lifers, who met them with open arms to help them through the long healing process.
They keep on chanting, and we keep on helping. And as if we haven't heard it enough, now the National Abortion Rights Action League is even changing its name to include their favorite word. If my organization had just lost 18 of its 19 targeted races, I would change my name too! In the last election's critical races, exit polls showed that it was pro-lifers who made the difference-giving candidates as much as a ten percent voting advantage! Somebody tell that to the Democratic party. Tell the Republicans, while you're at it.
But wait, there's more. While for 30 years the media has fed us a steady diet of how pro-lifers are "few," "extreme," and "fringe," they, too, are wrong. If you say something often enough and loudly enough, that doesn't make it true. Wirthlin Worldwide just asked the American people a question that has never been asked: relevant not to the rhetoric, but to today's technology: "In light of recent medical advances such as in-utero surgery and 3-D ultrasound technology…are you in favor of restoring legal protection for unborn children?" Guess what? The answer was a resounding "yes" from seven out of ten!
But perhaps the most critical question of all: "Would you favor judicial nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court who would uphold laws that restore legal protection for unborn children?" Sixty-six percent-a full two-thirds-of our nation want pro-life judges nominated and confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court! Somebody tell the President. And the Senate, while you're at it.
What do you know? Perception and reality really are two different things.
The emperor has no clothes. The reality is, the abortion movement has lost on every front. They lost the White House, the House, the Senate, and public support. They lost the women who listened to them who live in regret. They lost on biology, technology, and the truth.
While our laws do not yet reflect it, the abortion movement is dead.
Where is the pro-life movement 30 years after Roe v. Wade? Stronger, more united, armed with the truth, backed by technology and the vast majority of the American people with them.
For those pro-lifers who've been intimidated into silence, you can come out now.
And when it's all said and done, history will show us as the "good guys:" The ones who said sucking the brains out of infants during delivery is wrong. The ones who wouldn't go away until something was done.
Thirty years of denying self-evident truth is long enough.
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." -- Edmund Burke
