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.

The Other Pandemic

by Bonnie Finnerty, Education Director

Right now we are united in a heroic effort to protect each other from an invisible, aggressive enemy. Choosing to exercise self-restraint and self-denial, we’ve adopted a new normal and together face an uncertain future. We are making sacrifices to protect the most vulnerable members of our society because we recognize their value and dignity. How very beautiful. And how very pro-life. For decades, the pro-life movement has been protecting the weakest and most vulnerable from certain death by fighting a different pandemic, the widespread killing of preborn children. Read more.

To Governor Tom Wolf and state legislators:

We oppose any effort to expand abortion-on-demand in Pennsylvania. We urge you to stop any efforts to increase abortions—surgical or chemical—in PA. Sign our petition here!

We Will Not Stop!

As we all settle into a completely new way of life, please be assured that the PA Pro-Life Federation is continuing its life-saving work. We will bring you important information via social media and email, stay updated on legislation, and do everything we can to safeguard the sanctity of all human life, from conception to natural death. As Planned Parenthood and other abortion centers remain open, we must continue to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

If you are in a position to help us save lives at this very critical time, please consider a donation in any amount by clicking on the picture or here. Every bit helps in creating a Culture of Life!

Our Virtual Baby at Week 11

Baby is about the size of a fig, with arms and legs that continue to grow and can now bend and kick. Sexual organs are forming but not distinguishable by ultrasound. Male babies begin making testosterone, while the ovaries of females contain estrogen receptors that respond to mother's hormones.
