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 ...]
Yesterday, Planned Parenthood of Illinois hosted a gala fundraising event at the Chicago History Museum with the outrageous theme, “Generations: A Celebration of Healthy Families.” The Pro-Life Action League was there to protest the event and share the truth that Planned Parenthood is—to say the least—unhealthy for American families.
Turnout was fantastic for an early evening protest like this, with 30 activists holding graphic abortion signs as well as picket signs reading Stop Abortion Now, Planned Parenthood Lies to You, Moms for Life and Dads for Life.
A threatened storm held off until a half hour after the protest, and Chicago police were cooperative as usual. [Continue reading ...]
You may remember the Pampers “Hello Baby” iPad app released last year to universal acclaim from pro-lifers.
And now, Pampers has produced this commercial:
Some time in the next few weeks, my wife is planning to have her pregnancy terminated.
Now, lest anyone be scandalized that a Pro-Life Action League employee would say such a thing, let me clarify:
My wife, Jocelyn, and I are expecting our 6th child. As of this Friday, she will be 39 weeks pregnant.
And, as babies growing and developing in the womb have a tendency of doing, our baby will, some time soon, be born. After this happens, suffice it to say, my wife will no longer be pregnant.
Thus, her pregnancy will have been terminated.
This occurred to me as I read a recent post by Life Dynamics’ Mark Crutcher, who wrote about the “rhetorical fraud” used by pro-choicers in which the term “pregnancy termination” is used as a euphemism for “abortion”:
The pro-life movement is not now, has never been, and will never be, opposed to pregnancy terminations. We are fully aware that all pregnancies terminate.
Remember this the next time [Continue reading ...]
The Population Research Institute has put out a new video called “Project Real Need.” It’s less than two minutes, but worth watching.
A very good point they make: Funding to cure malaria is uncontroversial and is necessary, yet we give even greater amounts of money to “family planning” measures that are controversial, are sometimes not even wanted by the locals, and are not beneficial.
On a related note, I’m glad GlaxoSmithKline is on board trying to help cure Malaria. But giving Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria $131,000 [pdf] to do it is just a bad idea. Again, talk about money going to the wrong place.
Looks like there are a lot of places we need to improve our spending habits…
Here’s a video of some of the highlight’s of last Saturday’s “Evening of Tribute to Joe Scheidler.” Joe and all of us at the League were humbled by all the kind words from our fellow pro-lifers and the opposition from the pro-abortion forces!
Thanks to everyone, and especially Dr. Monica Miller of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, for making it such a wonderful night!
On Tuesday, March 22, it was my honor to join pro-life activists from the United States and Belgium as we visited Ghent University to protest abortion and educate students with fetal development pictures and fliers about the upcoming March for Life in Brussels.
This was the first time pro-life activists ever took to the streets in Ghent. The Belgian groups involved were Youth for Life and Precious Youth; the American groups were Stand True Ministries, Survivors and the Pro-Life Action League.
Pro-life activism is on the rise in Europe!
This excellent new video, shot at the February “March for Choice” and produced by Catholic Vote, gives an incredibly candid look at the “pro-choice” movement and what it’s members really think.
The lack of value for human life, the strange hunger for the destruction of abortion and the overall crudeness of the video put the lie to the clean, happy face Planned Parenthood tries to put on the abortion business.
Watch the video and share it through all your social media outlets. Be particularly sure your “pro-choice” friends see it. They might be surprised at the truth about the movement they support.
