How COVID-19 Affects Our Work to Fight for Life, Family, and Religious Freedom
Dear John,
Minnesota Family Council is closely monitoring the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) and putting plans in place to ensure that we’re able to continue our work at the Capitol and in churches. Our Annual Dinner with Abby Johnson on May 11 is still on the calendar (tickets are going fast!). We will follow all guidelines for large events recommended by the Minnesota Department of Health, and we have contingency plans in place in case we need to make other arrangements for our dinner to ensure the safety of our friends and supporters.
Whatever happens in the next few weeks and months, we will continue our work to ensure that religious freedom is protected, that life is cherished, and that the biblical design for marriage and families is honored and lived. We view the coronavirus outbreak as an opportunity to deepen and strengthen our trust in God, who holds all our lives in His hand. He is in control, and He delights in showing mercy - let us approach the throne of grace and pray for an end to the outbreak globally, and especially that those at high risk of infection would be kept safe. We know that our God will bring us through this trial. Thank you, and God bless.
It's Time for the Department of Justice to Investigate P*rnhub
Nearly a year after her daughter went missing, the mother of a 15-year-old was notified by a friend that pornographic photographs and videos of her missing daughter had begun to appear online. Her daughter was alive and being trafficked and abused by a man twice her age. The discovery led to the child’s rescue, but not before her abuser impregnated her and forced her to have an abortion and had uploaded 58 separate videos of her being raped and abused onto Pornhub to be consumed for other people’s sexual enjoyment.
When the news of her exploitation and rescue first broke, Pornhub tweeted that the victim had been a verified user, before quickly deleting the tweet when they realized that they had admitted to being complicit in her abuse. Their attempt to save face does nothing to change the fact that this is not an isolated incident. Other abuse survivors have come forward to point out Pornhub’s role in perpetuating their suffering, and a recent lawsuit exposed and shut down a popular channel featured on Pornhub that was illegally produced by means of coercion and deception. Even after the settlement, Pornhub has continued to circulate the videos. [...]

 Abby Johnson Defied Planned Parenthood. Are You Ready to Hear Her Story in Person at Our Annual Dinner? (May 11)
Registration is now open for our biggest event of the year - our annual dinner with pro-life superstar Abby Johnson. Abby's work with And Then There Were None, a charity that helps abortion workers leave the industry, has been hugely successful. And her new initiative, Love Lines, gives financial support to women who choose LIFE.
But her story began in 2009, when she was a clinic director for Planned Parenthood and had to witness, for the first time, an ultrasound-guided abortion. With horror, she saw for the first time what abortion really is: the killing by dismemberment of a baby. She walked away and has been working to save lives ever since. Her book Unplanned was turned into one of last year's most surprising hit movies.
Will you join us for our Annual Dinner with Abby Johnson? Click above to register now! We expect this event to fill up, so make sure to register as soon as you can.
