Saddest pro-abort tweet of the week...

Fabulous Shiloh Baptist Church Choir performs at the Emily's List brunch today. Wonderful!

Greetings!

It's that time of year again, when NARAL Pro-Choice America hosts its annual Blog for Choice Day on January 22,  the anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade decision.

Likewise, for the third year in a row, pro-lifers will counter with our Ask Them What They Mean When They Say "Choice" Blog Day.

 

Or Mean Choice Day, for short.

 

Thank you for participating in years past and making our response a resounding success. Can I count on your help again this year? Please email me, and I will add your name to the list of participants.

 

Ironically, Planned Parenthood just announced it was abandoning the term "pro-choice."

 

Again, I will post the names and URLs of all blogs and websites that email to tell me they're participating.

 

This year we've added a Facebook Events page, so you can join there as well.

 

The plan is simple.

 

Every year NARAL uses the anniversary of the day abortion was legalized throughout the United States to promote "choice."

 

And for the last two years pro-lifers have not let them get away with obfuscating what that "choice" actually is.

 

We devote the day online to calling abortion proponents out - writing our own blog posts on the real meaning of "choice," commenting on their blog posts, and questioning all their Facebook and Twitter blather.

 

We will also make good use of their designated Twitter hashtag, #Tweet4Choice.

 

Feel free to use our graphic. Thanks once again to pro-life graphic designer Kimberly of Spectacle Graphics for creating it.

 

Stay tuned!

 

Thanks, Jill

Movie To Movement announced this week that Pattie Mallette, singer Justin Bieber's mother, had signed on as executive producer for its life-affirming short film, Crescendo.

Mallette will help raise money for pregnancy care centers through fund-raising events for which she has videotaped a message. See trailer at link.

 

Last year the pro-life group Created Equal debuted its jumbotron showing the reality of abortion at the March for Life in Washington.

As Created Equal noted, "If the victims are not represented at their own march, where will they be represented?"

 

This year CE has again reserved space, but there has been some fallout. Read about it at the link, and also view a video showing reaction to last year's jumbotron.

 

On January 23 the Style channel will premiere a new reality series, Big Rich Atlanta.

  

It's a take off of Big Rich Texas, which is take off of the various Real Housewives series, none of which I've watched more than a few minutes, because everything about them makes me sad - the plasticity, the exploitation, the shallowness - everything. I just keep thinking to myself, "These poor people so need Jesus."  

But I digress.

 

Two stars of Big Rich Atlanta merits attention. Read about them here.

 

Pro-life Action League has compiled a list of 263 memorial sites across the country that are dedicated to victims of abortion. These include 24 grave sites.  

 

PLAL is calling on pro-lifers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the infamous and tragic Roe v. Wade decision by visiting one of these memorial sites on January 22.

 

I think this would be an important way not only to honor our 55 million brothers and sisters who have been slaughtered by abortion, but also to avail ourselves to a time of reflection and rededication.

 

Please add this to your calendar on January 22. Find out info on the memorial sites here

On January 14 NARAL Pro-Choice America announced it had chosen a new president.

 

Just who is NARAL's newly-selected leader, Ilyse Hogue, pictured right? She has quite a leftist resum, although not much of it involving strictly pro-abortion activism.  

 

Hogue also has an interesting perspective on the state of the pro-abortion movement. Read all here
