2011 was a huge year in the abortion battle and the Pro-Life Action League was busier than ever fighting abortion on the front lines with hard-hitting grassroots activism.
To show you a sample of what 2011 looked like for the League, we’ve put together this 2 minute video displaying a few of the things we did each month. We hope you enjoy this look back at the last year and that you’ll join us in making 2012 an even bigger year for life!
My wife, Erin, who is herself pregnant with our fourth child, pointed me to this amazing talk given by scientist, mathematician, artist, journalist, photographer and all-around Renaissance Man Alexander Tsiaras. In the video, Tsiaras presents a unique glimpse into development of the human body.
Tsiaras, among many other projects in his fascinating life, has developed special lenses and computer programs to give us an inside and up close look at human life as it develops from conception all the way to birth. Check out the video for the stunning detail of the process.
One of the most interesting aspects of the video is Tsiaras’ remarkable admission that how this process occurs, over and over again with very few mistakes, is simply beyond the reach of human understanding. In the video he says: [Continue reading ...]
Josh Brahm blogged recently at Live Action about a new video produced by the Human Development Resource Council (HDRC) about RU-486 — also known simply as “the abortion pill” — that’s definitely a cut above the average YouTube video:
It shows a scene of an abortionist in a counseling session with a young woman who wants RU-486. But this counseling session is very unlike the dishonest marketing and misinformation that was shown during Live Action’s Rosa Acuna sting. This is what would happen if an honest abortionist told a woman the truth about her embryo and what RU-486 would do to both her and her child. I’m sure pro-choice people will cry “propaganda” when they see this video, but there’s a documented medical citation for every single sentence the abortionist utters!
Here it is:
Josh has a great idea: Whenever someone does a YouTube search for “abortion pill,” what if this was the first video that showed up? [Continue reading ...]
Dallas got its first taste of a “Face the Truth” Tour this weekend, and the Pro-Life Action League was proud to have helped make it a success.
Andrew Smith of Pro-Life Texas organized the Tour and friend of the League and New Zealand activist Andy Moore joined in as well.
The League was able to provide some of the graphic abortion photos that were used on the Tour as well as guidance and insight gained in our 11 years of implementing Face the Truth across the country.
The news media took notice as well, and local Fox News aired the piece you can watch above. Congratulations on the successful Tour, Pro-Life Texas! Keep up the great work.
Recently, League Executive Director Eric Scheidler’s posted a piece here at the Hotline that has been turning heads in the media and generating a lot of buzz.
Though Planned Parenthood has their way of spinning the numbers, Eric’s article makes it clear that although Planned Parenthood’s government funding has increased every year for many years, the rate of unintended pregnancy has stayed level and even increased slightly even though Planned Parenthood’s contraception and abortion services are supposed to bring that rate down.
Recently, Eric was invited on CBN News to speak more about this glaring discrepancy. Check it out and share this important information with your friends!
There’s a heartwarming story this week in the Chicago Sun-Times about Amanda Schulten, a 21-year old woman from Marengo, Illinois, who is seven months pregnant with conjoined twin daughters, whom she has already named Faith and Hope.
In spite of her daughters’ very low chance of survival, Amanda’s Catholic faith guides her to believe that there is no other option but to let nature its course. In the article, she is quoted as saying, “He has a plan for me, and for them. We never know when our last day will be. We have to enjoy it, and appreciate health while we have it.”
(Reading these words of Amanda’s, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the beautiful video “99 Balloons” — which has received nearly 3.5 million views on YouTube) about a young couple who gave birth to a son with Edwards Syndrome.)
What struck me most about the article was the stunning contrast between, on the one hand, Amanda’s attitude of selflessness and unconditional love for her daughters, and, on the other, the absolutely cruel and heartless comments that she has had to endure from others who think she should just get an abortion instead.

League Vice President Ann Scheidler appeared on Fox News Chicago Tuesday night to talk about a new breed of early gender prediction home test kits.
Fox’s Robin Robinson, who conducted the interview, as well as most of the “man-on-the-street” interviewees felt at least somewhat nervous about the slippery slope from early gender prediction to abortion based on gender. But strangely, Ann’s fellow guest, OB/GYN Dr. Lauren Streicher, had almost no fear of such a thing.
Citing her years dealing with pregnant mothers, she states that she has never seen a patient choose to abort because of the gender of their child. But Dr. Streicher ignores two prominent concerns.
First, gender selective abortions have, in actual fact, led to a exactly that—children, mostly girls, being killed in utero because of their gender leaving a massive dearth of female children in Asia, known as the missing women of Asia. Second, we have never had the ability to predict gender so early at a stage where people feel much more comfortable choosing abortion.
Watch the video to hear Ann’s side of the story and the rest of the report.
Last April, League staffer Matt Yonke and I were praying out at the notorious Planned Parenthood abortion center in Aurora, Illinois when an ambulance went into the parking lot to transport a woman to the emergency room. We acquired the 911 audio through a FOIA request, and produced a video to document it.
Since then, we’ve collected a growing list of similar videos, with pro-lifers across the country documenting 911 calls, ambulance transports and other medical emergencies at abortion facilities.
Thanks to the dedicated presence of pro-life activists right on the front lines outside America’s abortion facilities, the danger that abortion poses for women is being exposed.
Matt and I have put together a new playlist of the abortion emergency videos we’ve found up until now:
This playlist includes 17 videos so far, and there are many more out there to add. If you know of an abortion emergency video that should be included in this playlist, please provide a link in the comments section.
Meanwhile, make sure that you’ve got a camera (preferably a video camera) with you whenever you go out to pray or sidewalk counsel at an abortion facility. If you see an ambulance, take pictures and shoot video.
The League can help you get the 911 transcript, too, and even help you put together your own video, documenting the danger of abortion. Get in touch with us if you need help.
If any topic has rivaled the debt ceiling negotiations lately in the news, it’s been the controversial move to force insurance companies to cover birth control without co-pays under President Obama’s health care law. Check out the video below from Fox Chicago’s newscast last night to get League Executive Director Eric Scheidler’s take on the issue:

Abortion is supposed to be about “choice,” right?
But without options, “choice” is a meaningless phrase. Yet this is what abortion advocates and so-called “clinic escorts” (deathscorts) seem to want: abortion without any alternatives or information.
One of the links posted to the inaugural “Pro-Life Link Party” was the text of a speech by Abigail Seidman, who had to work as a “clinic escort” because her mother worked for the clinic. I found Abigail’s insight on these volunteers valuable: [Continue reading ...]
