DAY 21: Different Type of Border Crisis

John, Tennessee has been largely abortion-free since shortly after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Unfortunately, pro-lifers' work in the state isn't done. The abortion industry is working overtime to ship women across s…

DAY 19: Pro-Life Clergy Are Speaking Out

John, About two-thirds of Americans self-identify as Christians... ...which means the abortion industry can't maintain a market for its core product without preying upon believers. Planned Parenthood even maintains a "cl…

DAY 15: Saw This and Rejected Abortion
