President George Washington
  City of New York, October 3, 1789
 
  Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence
  of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits,
  and humbly to implore his protection and favor, and Whereas both
  Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me
 “to recommend to the People of the United States a day
 of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by
 acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of
 Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity
 peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety
 and happiness.”
 
 Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th
 day of November next to be devoted by the People of these
 States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who
 is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is,
 or that will be. That we may then all unite in rendering
 unto him our sincere and humble thanks, for his kind care
 and protection of the People of this country previous to
 their becoming a Nation, for the signal and manifold
 mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence,
 which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the
 late war, for the great degree of tranquility, union, and
 plenty, which we have since enjoyed, for the peaceable and
 rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish
 constitutions of government for our safety and happiness,
 and particularly the national One now lately instituted, for
 the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed,
 and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful
 knowledge and in general for all the great and various
 favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
 
 And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our
 prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of
 Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other
 transgressions, to enable us all, whether in public or
 private stations, to perform our several and relative duties
 properly and punctually, to render our national government a
 blessing to all the People, by constantly being a government
 of wise, just and constitutional laws, discreetly and
 faithfully executed and obeyed, to protect and guide all
 Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown
 kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government,
 peace, and concord. To promote the knowledge and practice of
 true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among
 them and Us, and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a
 degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Dear Friend,
Two huge events for the pro-life movement occurred last week.  One was a victory in Texas – but the other is a huge threat, looming over us from the halls of Congress in Washington, D.C.

Good or bad, these events reaffirm one thing: Live Action’s work in exposing the evil of abortion is far from done.  Will you help us move forward?  A 100% tax-deductible donation of $100 will greatly help us as we head toward the end of the year.

The Orwellian “Women’s Health Protection Act of 2013,” proposed by members of Congress bought and paid for by Planned Parenthood, would pave the way for abortion, any time, anywhere in America, through all nine months of pregnancy.  But dealing a blow to pro-abortion senators like Barbara Boxer and Richard Blumenthal was the U.S. Supreme Court.  SCOTUS let stand key provisions of Texas’s HB2, which bans abortions after 20 weeks in that state.

We may finally be seeing a judicial pivot from the destructive mentality that brought us Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton.

We won’t let the abortion industry’s minions in Congress give the Gosnells of America a free pass.  But we need your help to spread news of the evil going on throughout our country even without their “Abortion Everywhere Act.”  Your $100 donation will provide much-needed funding for us to continue our undercover investigations.

Live Action has released many undercover investigations, from New York to New Mexico to Texas.  And we have more in the works.

Texas is on its way to becoming abortion-free – a beacon of human rights for the rest of the country.  But we have a lot of work to do before we get there – and your $100 donation will prove essential in our mission to maintain momentum all across the country!

As Live Action goes into the final month of 2013, rest assured that we have several projects underway.  We’re going to open up the new year with renewed energy; we’re going to speak the truth about human life, human dignity, and the abortion industry without apologizing.

Live Action has multiple projects underway – but we need your help if we’re going to finish them.  Please click this link and send us $100 today.  Your generous donation is 100% tax-deductible…which means that it shrinks the government’s ability to use your taxes to fund the abortion industry!

Thanksgiving is this week, and I’m reminded of all I have to be thankful for.  But the greatest of all the gifts God has given me is the gift of life.  After all, without our lives, all our other rights are meaningless.

As you prepare to join your family at table on Thursday and give thanks for the blessings in your life, I hope you’ll say a prayer for us here at Live Action.  We will not rest until every life is protected – and with your help, I’m confident that we’ll see an end to the killing of our pre-born children far sooner than the abortion industry thinks.

Yours in the fight for life,

Lila Rose
President
Live Action

Ounce-for-ounce, human eggs are the most valuable commodity in the world–if you are beautiful and intelligent. Why, young college women at elite colleges receive tens of thousands for delivering a microscopic product to would-be parents who don’t just want a child, but one beautiful and smart enough to suit their high standards.

Abortion Activists Upset Pro-Lifers Are Getting Abortion Clinic Workers to Quit

In a five-page piece, the Washington Times showcased a spectrum of abortion advocates who blame pro-life scare tactics and intimidation for the recent migration of abortion workers out of the abortion business and into the pro-life movement, and touts evidence of other ‘Gosnells’ as purely fictional.

The article primarily aimed to conduct the misleading voices of many abortion workers across the country. Towards the end of the piece, however, a seeming contradiction occurs when the author cites Lila Rose and Live Action’s undercover investigations, which maim the entire article’s entire premise (that the abortion industry is awesome and — with the ‘anomaly’ of Gosnell — it is never associated with illegal or unsafe practices), but fails to attempt to refute or offer follow-up to the citation.

The piece quotes clinic workers who staunchly deny Gosnell-like activity within the US abortion industry, saying:

Pro-choice leaders insist that the Gosnell incident will not have lasting effects because he was “a rogue” and not representative at all of the industry as a whole.

“No, no, no,” Ms. France said when asked about “other Gosnells.” There are hundreds of clinics, and 13 in Ohio, she said. “Certainly, we all give good care. We are regulated, and we want to do good work.”

“Gosnell was very much a rogue and had nothing to do with what good abortion care is,” Ms. Taft said.

The article goes on to quote Live Action president Lila Rose, who refutes the perception that Gosnell was a “rogue” within the industry:

“Dr. Kermit  HYPERLINK “http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/kermit-gosnell/”Gosnell is not alone” in the kinds of “inhuman practices” he and his staff performed at their Philadelphia clinic, said Lila Rose, president of Live Action, citing her group’s “undercover” videos at abortion clinics. The abortion industry is “united,” Ms. Rose said. If there’s a problem in one clinic, “you’re going to find it in another one.”

Abortion Activists Upset Choose Life License Plates Fund Adoption Centers

by Cassy Fiano | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 11/24/13 8:49 PM

Want to infuriate a pro-abort? Make “choose life” license plates available for people to buy. Never mind that no one is required to purchase one. Never mind that having them available is merely giving someone a choice to publicly express their beliefs on a contentious subject.

The mere fact that these license plates are available infuriates abortion advocates. Pro-lifers evidently shouldn’t even be able to publicly proclaim themselves as pro-life.

At RH Reality Check Andrea Grimes uncovered some absolutely horrifying, outrageous news this week: the sales of “choose life” license plates in Texas have raised — are you ready? — tens of thousands of dollars for crisis pregnancy centers and adoption agencies. Tens of thousands!

Tens of thousands of dollars raised from sales of newly authorized “Choose Life” license plates in Texas will go to 13 crisis pregnancy centers and adoption agencies, as part of an effort “to encourage adoption as an alternative to abortion.”

The state attorney general’s office will award a total of $46,100 to the recipients, including $10,000 to the Gladney Center for Adoption and $7,500 to the Houston Pregnancy Help Center, according to a press release sent Monday. The grants are awarded for purposes that include “[m]edia advertising to promote adoption,” “material assistance for pregnant mothers considering adoption,” “adoption training for staff,” and “educational and training materials on adoption.”

Truly, this is an outrage. Less than $50,000 will be donated to help pregnant women who, perhaps, don’t feel so great about killing their unborn children. And that money was freely given, raised by Texans who willingly chose to purchase the license plates. It wasn’t just taken out of taxpayers’ pockets without giving them any choice in the matter… like, say, federal funding for Planned Parenthood, which Grimes, of course, doesn’t mention. Planned Parenthood received over half a billion dollars from taxpayers last year. But under $50,000 in donations — donations — going towards abortion alternatives? How awful!
