The Anti-Life Agendas Infiltrating Your Schools
Ryan & Bethany Bomberger
There is a an abortion advocating and anti-life agenda taking over our schools that starts at the Teacher’s Union and goes all the way down to the local level.

Life is a Gift

In a culture that prizes lived experience – there is no greater way to impact culture and show the real gift of Life than to be able to share the story of someone who has lived through an abortion attempt or the loss of a premature infant, and yet pursued life hard with both dignity and grace as a voice for Life.
The Human Dignity Debate
Stephanie Gray Connors, Apologist & Author
Pain, sickness, loneliness, in a word suffering. We have a strong natural desire to end the suffering of others, but necessarily to enter into their suffering with them.
