I’m sorry to confirm the news, but yes, the pro-abortion Senate healthcare bill was passed in congress today by a vote of 219 to 212.

If any of you watched C-SPAN as I did all Sunday, you would have seen an outrageous riot on TV between both sides of the debate.  Of all things I could have likened to this event, Roe v. Wade came to mind…  January 22nd 1973, the day murder of innocent unborn children was legalized nation-wide. I wonder what Americans my age and older must have felt?  This historical case was an abuse of power, just as today’s ruling was.  Abortion throughout all 9 months of pregnancy was legalized by 7 un-elected Supreme Court judges.  Watch this movie below to visualize the significance.

40 Days for Life kick-off!

Today begins the 40 Days for Life campaign!

Come to the Kick-Off prayer vigil tonight at 7PM in front of the AMS of Pensacola!

Bring a flash light and a spirit of love.  The president has made some arroz con habichuelas- so feel free to celebrate the beginning of this powerful prayer campaign to end abortion!

40 Days for Life recap:

This is a very powerful 40 day-long event in which people of all faiths pray for an end to abortion, and specifically for the closing of Pensacola’s last-standing abortion clinic: AMS Pensacola.  Last year, we focused our prayers and peaceful pro-life presence in front of the “Health Center” abortion clinic on 9th Avenue.  The day immediately after 40 Days for Life had ended, the abortion clinic was FORCED TO CLOSE ITS DOORS!!! God works in mysterious ways – and it was by no coincidence that this abortion clinic had been finally caught for having an unlicensed clinic lab for over 413 days! God does work miracles, and if we want abortion to be unwanted, unthinkable, and illegal – we need to actively pray for this to happen.

Lastly……

…come attend UWF Students for Life

first meeting of the year!

Meeting place: Room 272 in the Commons (upstairs)

Time: 7PM

Meeting will include: COOKIES!!! welcoming new members, and ice-breaker, March for Life pictures, we will watch an amazing video Bernadette calls “A window to the womb,” and sign-up opportunities for up-coming events.

March For Life Plans

The plans for the trip have been finalized!!

Those who would like to go to the March for Life with the UWF Students for Life group will be carpooling together in a caravan.

We will begin our drive up to the Capitol Thursday morning at 6AM and arrive in Arlington, Virginia around 9:30PM.  The driving will be shared so that no one gets drowsy and we will stop to stretch our legs from time to time.  We will get lots of restful sleep Thursday night at our hotel and wake up refreshed to march the 6 hour-long March for Life, which begins at the mall and ends at the White House.

There will be speakers at the White House and people from all over the world marching alongside us!  We will hear accounts from women and men who have suffered the agony of abortion, leaders speaking out against abortion, and maybe even the account of some people who have survived abortion.

Saturday, we will have time for sight-seeing and relaxation before our trip back home on Sunday.

$$$: The cost of the trip per person depends on the type of car they travel in and the number of people sharing a room.  The cost of round-trip carpool transportation will be anywhere from 45-70 dollars.  The cost of lodging will be around 20-30 dollars a night per person, with four people to a room.

RSVP: If you would like to come, you must email me by January 10th to come on the trip.  Please respond as soon as possible!

March for Life: BUS RESERVED!!!!

That’s right!  UWF Students for Life has reserved a charter bus for the trip! :D

Now, all we need is people to fill the bus!

The bus has room for 55 people.  Will you take up the opportunity to participate in this historical protest; to physically show your utmost support for the dignity of human life?  Most – if not all – of you are SURVIVORS of the abortion holocaust, which began after the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade ruling which legalized the prejudiced killing of human beings living in their mother’s womb.  Now you have the chance to stand up for your peers who were killed, the friends you should have had, the people who should have been allowed to live.

Many of you are deciding what you want to do with your college experience… or maybe experiencing for the first time what it means to make decisions for yourself now.  Why not do something truly amazing – something that will both change your life and change the lives of others.  Be a hero and stand up for life with us in Washington D.C.

Ways to get there:

  • Ask for money for this trip for Christmas – little amounts here and there add up!
  • Send a hand-written letter to your church of worship or to an organization you are a part of to see if they would consider donating some money to help you to support human life.
  • Offer to do chores for people you know – or who your parents know – and ask for a donation toward your trip (during the holidays, many people could use an extra hand around the house, yard, or with babysitting).
  • Put on a bake sale by yourself or with a friend.  Your sincere efforts to raise money for a good cause will be evident and people will want to donate.
  • Be creative! Email me your ideas :)

We are doing all we can to get the word out about this amazing trip, but we certainly cannot do it without your help.  If you can come, email me as soon as possible, or at least before December 28th.  If you cannot come, tell friends and family about it.  This trip is open to all pro-lifers who are in good physical shape to walk the 6 hour long march to the White House.

Hello everyone!  We’re gearing up for the March for Life in Washington D.C.  It’s hard to believe, but it’s less than 2 months away!

When: The plan is to leave in the early morning on Thursday, January 21st and return either Saturday the 23rd, or Sunday the 24th.

How: We’re looking at renting a charter bus to get everyone there.  Sleeping accommodations are still undecided, but we’re considering staying at a local church to lessen costs.

Cost: Early estimates are $100-$150 per person (not including meals).  This depends greatly on how many people will come and where we stay.  This price will go up if less people come or we stay at a pricey hotel.

If you’re interested in coming, please contact us.  We’ll keep you updated as we figure out the details.  We really hope everyone takes advantage of this opportunity to literally take a stand for life.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Clinic closing: Nationwide acknowledgement

I hope you all are celebrating the wonderful victory we have had with 40 Days for Life this year, having the 9th Avenue abortion clinic close. It really is a miracle! 413 days: an oversight for a “professional profiting clinic”? I don’t think so… If that were to happen at one of the hospitals around here, there would be outrage. This is a miracle, and your prayers and participation were a part of it!  Thank you for those who participated!  You can read what the national director of 40 Days For Life had to say about our victory here.

There will be a recount on the success of this fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign and I highly recommend listening!  This will be a national webcast with former-director of Planned Parenthood, Abby Johnson, our local 40 Days for Life coordinators: Ernie and Mary-Beth Cyr, and other influential people who have experienced miracles in their own towns.  Also, plans for this coming Spring’s 40 Days will be discussed.  The webcast will start at 8PM Central time this Monday, and last an hour.  If you can’t catch all of it, maybe you can catch some…

Click here to go to the webcast.

Have a great weekend and remember to pass on the great news!

Today’s vigil a success!

Just a quick note about this morning’s vigil/peaceful protest at the 9th Avenue abortion clinic.

We had 12 members of UWF Students for Life in all!

That’s a great turnout for our first vigil! Even though it was raining, cold, and really early (5:30am), our group was there to defend the defenseless.

It really makes a difference when college students take a stand. We are survivors of this holocaust. We are the next generation of mothers and fathers. We have the most powerful voice on this issue.

To see pictures from this morning, take a look at our gallery page.

Thanks so much to everyone who came. We will be doing this again soon!

Vigil this Friday!

UWF Students for Life members and many others will be coming out to pray for the unborn babies this Friday.

Friday at 5:30AM is when abortions are done at the 9th Avenue abortion clinic. This is the time when prayers and presence are most needed. Just imagine: you could save a life. You could touch the heart of a mother and help her to see how much love that we have for her and her child; that she doesn’t have to go through with the abortion (as parents or boyfriend or others have most likely pressured her to do).

Come and step outside of your comfort zone to help the voiceless unborn. At the least, you can say that you were there on their behalf the day they were rejected and killed; that you, you did not forget him or her. This is one of the most powerful experiences I have had in my life; to be a hero and stand in honor and love for the poor unborn children who will be killed and thrown in the trash.

If you are a Christian, just think: If you could have lived during the time of Christ’s passion, where would you want to be? At home, or at the foot of the cross? Every human being is made in the image of God, so when human beings are rejected and unjustly treated, it is the same as doing it to Jesus.

You do not have to be a Christian to bear witness to the precious unborn or to hold up a sign that has “ALPHA center (Pregnancy Resource Center) 479-3616 We Can Help!” and perhaps make a profound impact on that mother to save the life of her baby.

I prayerfully urge you to consider coming out to pray and be a presence for the children and the mothers. We had twins saved this past Friday and hope all the babies will be saved this Friday.

We are trying to get 30-40 people out there this Friday. Please RSVP at the Facebook event page or by email. All questions welcome!

Great NEWS! Great OPPORTUNITY!

Greetings!

Great news everyone –  TWO babies were saved this morning!!!  Here is the story:  A young woman walked into the abortion clinic and then came back out crying.  She walked over to where the pro-lifers were and asked if she could borrow someone’s cell phone.  She said that she couldn’t go through with it and was calling her dad to pick her up.  She also was pregnant with twins!  This is wonderful news :D  I can’t express how uplifting and joyful it is to be out there and see all the sadness going on- but then to hear such joyful triumph of life over death.  A young woman chose life- she chose courage- and she will be greatly blessed for this.
