Join Austin’s 40 Days For Life Efforts

Published September 23, 2013 • Written by Elizabeth Filed Under: Blog, World and News

I’ve told the story before of my first experience standing outside of Planned Parenthood during prayer vigil. It was the summer before I graduated and was completing an assignment for a photojournalism class. I’d supported pro-life organizations and prayed at prayer vigils, but never directly on the sidewalk outside a Planned Parenthood or other abortion… [Read More]

SB5: A Moment in Texas Legislative History

Published June 27, 2013 • Written by Rita Suva Filed Under: Blog

The night of Tuesday, June 25 was one crazy and unsettling night for many Texans. A sea of pro-choice persons clad in orange shirts with speckles of pro-life blue shirts thrown in here and there had been present in the Texas Capitol building in downtown Austin for nearly 13 hours. And the chaotic nature of… [Read More]

10 Cosas Que Me Despertaron a La Realidad del Aborto

Published June 27, 2013 • Written by Maria Salazar Filed Under: En Español, La Fe

Yo siempre decía que no apoyaba el aborto.  Claro que decía que no estaba bien.  Pero de verdad no lo pensaba mucho.  Era otro mundo al cual yo nunca iba entrar, así es que no tenía que pensarlo.  Pero, hace como unos tres años empecé a despertar a la realidad del aborto.  ¿Qué fue lo… [Read More]

Four Words I’ll Never Forget

Published January 23, 2013 • Written by Lauren Gulde Filed Under: ACNM, Blog, Faith, Family, Young Adult, Youth

Four years ago, my son Jonathan found me sitting in front of my laptop, tears running down my cheeks. I had read an email and had been stunned to tears and silence. I was in shock with joy. The email was about Abby Johnson, the director of our local Planned Parenthood (the number one abortion… [Read More]

A Morning Opposing the Abortion Giant – Reflections From the Sidewalk

Published December 17, 2012 • Written by Elizabeth Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Young Adult

It was only 9:37 a.m. on a muggy summer morning in June 2011 and I’d already had one of those mornings that forces you to stop and think about who you are and the world around you.

Komen breaks ties with Planned Parenthood

Published February 2, 2012 • Written by Martina Filed Under: Blog, World and News

VS This story broke early Tuesday afternoon as I checked my FB feed and saw – no, not from a fellow pro-life Catholic – the story was linked up by one of my most pro-choice {and not to mention, agnostic} friends. I kind of chuckled to myself at the irony of finding out the victory… [Read More]

Really Knowing Both Sides (Review: “Unplanned”)

Published September 6, 2011 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Reviews

I pray every time I pass a Planned Parenthood. I have also prayed outside Planned Parenthood clinics that do abortions here in Austin and back home in D.C. I pray for a world where no one will desire abortion. I don’t think making abortion illegal will change hearts, but it might be a start. By… [Read More]
