Nat'l Adoption Month Starts Today!
Adoption Billboard on Canal Street Kicks It Off
|
|
Today begins National Adoption Month! Adoption is such a pivotal element of the pro-life cause that often gets overlooked. Sadly, for every 100 abortions in America, there are only two adoptions. We need to share the beauty of adoption!!
One small way we are doing that is through our
billboard on Canal Street in downtown New Orleans telling the world that adoption is a LOVING option!

5th Circuit Sends Lawsuit Challenging State Abortion Regulations Back to District Court
|
|
|
|
On Oct. 18, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit elected not to dismiss a lawsuit challenging all Louisiana abortion clinic regulations. At the same time, the panel sent the case back down to the Middle District Court in Baton Rouge with direction that the abortion industry lawyers present evidence on how these laws could harm either the abortion clinics or the women these laws are designed to protect.

The pro-life message is being shared with visitors to the State Fair of Louisiana in Shreveport for the second week, and there's been a great response to the message so far!

The fair ends Sunday, Nov. 10, and we need more volunteers to help us finish the event strong!

This Sunday (Nov. 3) we will be exactly one year away from the vote on Louisiana's Love Life Amendment, which will make sure abortion is not a protected right in the state Constitution. But we must make sure all our pro-life people are aware and show up to vote. Dedicated volunteers are necessary to make this happen in each part of the state. Will you help us and become a part of the Love Life team?

In early 2020, Louisiana will be at the U.S. Supreme Court defending its 2014 law requiring abortion businesses to have admitting privileges at a local hospital, just like all other outpatient surgical facilities. Why should the Supreme Court play favorites with abortion facilities? Please sign our petition to the Supreme Court to end abortion loopholes!
