DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Introducing "Silent Scream II"

Los Angeles, CA - A new video has just been released by BringAmericaBackToLife.org called "Silent Scream II."

The goal of the short, 2 min. video is to change hearts, minds and attitudes about preborn lives.

"We see that our nation is in a crisis more severe than any we have ever been through, and that there is no visible end in sight. Our analysis is that God, who blessedAmerica more abundantly than any nation in human history, is now withdrawing his support. There are many features of American life that alienate the Lord, but we believe the most compelling of these is the ruthless murder of the preborn," said film producer Dr. Don Smith.

Please view this short video and forward it on to friends and family, especially those who need to understand the truth that abortion takes the life of an innocent child. It available at http://www.bringamericabacktolife.org/. (Caution, graphic content.)

The video is also available on YouTube.com where an embed code is readily available so you can post this to your own blog or social networking page. (Click here to see it on YouTube.com.)

Pro-life Rally and Training Planned in Omaha August 28-29

Omaha, NE -- Operation Rescue will be in the Omaha, Nebraska on August 28-29 for a pro-life rally, street activism at Carhart's Bellevue abortion clinic, and to hold an invitation-only training session for local pro-life activists.

The event is part of the newly launched "Keep It Closed" campaign to stop abortionist LeRoy Carhart from opening a late-term abortion mill to replace George Tiller's infamous clinic in Wichita, Kansas, which is not permanently closed. It is being conducted in conjunction with Rescue the Heartland and Nebraskans United for Life.

Times and locations for the Omaha events will be announced soon.

"It is our intent to encourage the wonderful pro-life activists in Nebraska and share with them from our experience in closing abortion clinics around the nation," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "We look forward to working with Rescue the Heartland and Nebraskans United for Life to on this exciting and ambitious project to stop late-term abortions from coming to their state."
