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.

STUDENTS FOR LIFE: watch the conversion!

March 12, 2014

Conversions: What Has Roe Done for Us? Tour 
On
 January 22, 1973, 7 men on the U.S. Supreme Court struck down more than
 30 state bans on abortion, and legalized abortion in all 9 months of 
pregnancy, for whatever reason, across the United States. Regardless of 
whether you know their names, these historic decisions, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton,
 have affected your life. Abortion advocates argue that legal abortion 
is necessary for women’s liberation, but what has Roe really done for 
us?

The What Has Roe Done for Us? Tour
 is exposing the injustice of what happens when abortion is made legal. 
The tour has stopped at only 4 schools, and we've already seen changed 
minds! Watch the videos below to see what pro-life and pro-choice 
students are saying about the tour!


And the School Administration Bully Strikes Again

If you have been following our Students for Life High School Initiative,
 Branford High School in Branford, CT is a school you have been hearing a
 lot about. Sam Bailey-Loomis, the President and founder of Branford 
High School Students for Life, has been one of our top high school 
leaders this past year, participating in our first ever Thaddeus Stevens
 Fellowship and leading her group to win the 2014 Students for Life High
 School Group of the Year award.

Sadly though, it is no surprise 
that her life-saving success has been met with resistance from her 
administration. Since February of last year, Sam’s principal, Lee 
Panagoulias, and other administration members have attempted to censor 
and limit the effectiveness of the Students for Life club at their 
public school, telling them they could not have life-like fetal models 
on their education table and making it difficult for them to form and 
sustain the club. In the past few weeks, Mr. Panagoulias denied Sam and 
her club the ability to invite others to join the group in the form of 
clip boarding and handing out literature to students during lunch. The 
school has also told Branford High School Students for Life that they 
can only host events after school, a restriction not imposed on other 
student groups.

When planning the spring semester, Sam met with 
her principal to ask permission to host events and inform others about 
her club, going out of her way to be above reproach and adhere to the 
school’s policies. She came prepared with the Branford High School 
Student Handbook and made it clear that their proposed events were well 
within the student guidelines and were similar to those that other 
students clubs had been approved to do. The principal then told Sam he 
would “think about it” – a common delay tactic used by school officials 
across the United States. Over the next week, the principal postponed 
meetings, leaving Sam in a state of limbo. After multiple attempts, Sam 
finally got her answer. The club could not hand out pro-life literature,
 clipboard, or set up an information table in the commons area during 
lunch.
