Dear John,
Right now, with so much turmoil in the world, it's time to take a page from the book of Nehemiah:
"Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon." - Nehemiah 4:17
Like them, we must be both builders and defenders -- praying and advocating for sound foreign policy in the Middle East that protects not only America, but also our closest ally, Israel. At the same time, we must secure the right domestic policies -- policies rooted in moral truth -- that will once again make America strong and good.
We cannot lose sight of the opportunity we were given just three years ago to restore this nation's foundations. It was a miracle -- and you were part of it.
When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs decision, it was the answer to nearly 50 years of prayer, and faithfully proclaiming life in word and in deed. Because of your stand, the Supreme Court reversed a moral wrong.
But, unfortunately, the fight didn't end with Dobbs.
Now, nearly two-thirds of all abortions in America are chemical. These abortion drugs are flooding into communities -- often illegally -- and bypassing the very laws pro-life Americans fought to enact.
This didn't happen by accident. The Biden administration's FDA intentionally removed safeguards, allowing the abortion drug to be shipped without medical supervision -- even into pro-life states.
Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood still rakes in over $700 million in taxpayer dollars, all while cutting non-abortion services and ending more than 400,000 lives a year.
But here's the good news: we are not giving up, and you can join us.
We worked to get federal defunding of Planned Parenthood into the current reconciliation bill.
And on Tuesday, June 24 -- the third anniversary of the Dobbs decision -- we're calling all believers to join us for Lift Up Life, a national day of prayer and fasting for the unborn. To watch the event, please visit liftuplifeday.com or the Stand Firm app.
We'll pray for:
- A culture that cherishes life
- Government leaders to uphold biblical truth
- An end to the use and trafficking of abortion drugs
This is a spiritual battle and therefore we must use the spiritual weapons the Lord has given us.
I am encouraged to tell you that we already see God moving.
Just this month, the FDA finally agreed to review its mifepristone policy. That's a major step. But this deadly drug is still being pushed across state lines, putting women at risk and ignoring state protections.
You can help us by joining us in prayer.
I would also ask you to prayerfully consider financially supporting this important work.
Right now, every gift to FRC before June 30 will be matched -- dollar for dollar -- up to $1.5 million.
DOUBLE MY IMPACT TO DEFEND LIFE
Your generosity powers our work to:
- Defund Planned Parenthood and redirect those dollars to family-centered services
- Educate policymakers and the public on the dangers of the abortion drug
- Champion legislation that protects mothers, babies, and pro-life advocates
- Expand pro-family tax relief -- like paid leave credits and newborn savings accounts
But more than that -- you help restore a culture that values every life as sacred.
Will you help us meet this critical match -- and fuel the fight for life?
Because of this current FDA policy, women have experienced severe complications landing them in the emergency room, while others have been victims of coerced mifepristone abortion.
And until something changes, governors -- even in pro-life states -- are powerless to stop it.
That's why your voice and your support are critical right now.
"Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?" - Job 31:15
We're at a turning point. The lives of thousands -- maybe millions -- of unborn children depend on how we respond now.
Will you help us finish what we started?
Give by June 30, and your gift will be matched to double your impact for life.
