APRIL
Pro-Life Day at the Capitol, April 1, 2009.
National Pro-Life T-Shirt Day, April 29
Every abortion kills a living human being—that is a fact. From the moment of fertilization, when that human being is but a single cell, all the way to the moment of birth, there is a child that is undergoing a period of remarkable growth and development. Abortion stops that miraculous growth cold and robs the world of all that child would have accomplished. Join Respect Life Ministries and pro-life groups and individuals throughout the nation in raising awareness about the reality and tragedy of abortion by wearing a t-shirt with a pro-life message everywhere you go on April 29. To get a t-shirt, call Stephanie Frausto at 806-678-4673.
