Join in the next 40 Days for Life!
There’s a lot happening over the next few days — and
I hope I get to see you — but first, two updates ...
** UPDATE 1 ** Applications for the next 40 Days for
Life campaign (March 9 - April 17) are running at

** UPDATE 2 ** We’re hearing rave reviews from the
two-part Focus on the Family radio show about 40 Days
for Life and former Planned Parenthood clinic director
Abby Johnson that aired Wednesday and Thursday! The
recordings of both shows are now online:

Now, about the next few days ...
On January 22, America will memorialize the 38th
anniversary of the unjust Roe v. Wade Supreme Court
decision that imposed abortion on all 50 states —
opening the way for the deaths of more than 52 million
babies and the wounding of millions of women and men.
To mark this somber occasion, hundreds of thousands
of pro-life Americans will take to the streets — from
coast to coast — to speak up for those who cannot
speak for themselves.
I’m getting ready to fly to Little Rock, Arkansas,
where I will be speaking at a huge pro-life event on
Saturday before catching a flight to Washington, DC
for events on Sunday and Monday surrounding the March
for Life.
Our national director, David Bereit, heads out at 3 AM
to fly to San Francisco for events Friday and Saturday
surrounding the West Coast Walk for Life before
catching a red-eye flight back to DC.
If you’re coming to the big events on either coast,
we’d love to see you!
Here’s where we’ll be — and when ...
