Minnesota Family Council
Sign Open Letter to Governor Walz Today!

[link removed]
On March 23, 2020, Governor Tim Walz issued a call to arms for
Minnesotans regarding the COVID-19 pandemic: "We must take
similar steps to identify and preserve the available PPE [personal
protective equipment] and other equipment in Minnesota to protect
health care personnel while they treat individuals with COVID-19 and
others receiving critical care."
So why is Governor Walz allowing Planned Parenthood to perform
abortions which are NOT "critical care?" Governor Walz
prohibited all health providers from performing elective procedures,
but abortion is being given a free pass. Right now, not only is
Planned Parenthood bringing patients in for elective abortions,
risking the further spread of COVID-19 and further strain on our
health care system, but they are actively recruiting private
donations of personal protective equipment to perform those elective
abortions - the very equipment our hospitals desperately
need.

This is unacceptable. This worldwide pandemic demands we dismiss
political agendas. Governor Walz has referred to the need to do
everything we can to support front-line medical workers. That should
mean abortion shouldn't get special treatment as we halt all
elective procedures.
Please join Minnesota Family Council in signing this open letter to
Governor Walz asking to stop all elective abortions in Minnesota so we
can best prepare for the COVID-19 pandemic here in our communities.

Offering Help and Hope: Opportunities for the Gospel During a Pandemic
christ_pandemic.png
In a very short time, the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S. has upended
everyone's daily lives. In addition to the spread of the virus
itself and over 1,000 deaths in the United States so far, many are out
of work and facing economic uncertainty. Graduations, recitals,
sporting events, church services, weddings, and even funerals have
been postponed, rescheduled, or moved to live-stream. We should grieve
the human cost of this pandemic, as well as the losses and
disappointments that have come about as collateral damage. But in the
midst of grief, let's also look for the gospel opportunities
that have come about during this time.
God is doing more in any one moment than any of us could possibly
imagine. As our nation responds to COVID-19, let us remember who is in
control and continue to put our trust in him. God has shown his
faithfulness to his people since the very beginning. We know we can
trust him to bring us through this.
Pandemics and economic uncertainty shatter our delusions of
self-sufficiency by reminding us that we are not in control. As
believers, this causes us to turn to God in faith, trusting in him as
our provider and protector, but in an increasingly secular society,
many of our neighbors do not know this hope, so now more than ever we
should be reaching out and proclaiming the gospel. Times of crisis
create gospel opportunities as
[link removed]
the body of Christ mobilizes to minister to the material and
spiritual needs of the people around us. We should make the most of
this time, offering God's eternal truth to a world in crisis.

Abby Johnson Defied Planned Parenthood. Are You Ready to Hear
Her Story in Person at Our Annual Dinner? (May 11)
927E637E-E7FC-DB41-348B-F9015348C928.jpg
[link removed]
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.
[link removed]
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.
Please know that we will comply with all directives from city and
state governments regarding large events, and we are committed to
doing what we need to do for the safety of our friends and guests. If
the status of our Annual Dinner scheduled for May 11 changes, we will
alert you as soon as possible.
