Planned Parenthood - the only option?

Enjoy reading this article by a young lady at UAA.
She destroys the myth that Planned Parenthood is the only option for young women's health care. Good valid points - if there are local resources why are they not plugged more? We have it said every day "buy local" and "support local businesses." So why are we furthering the myth that Planned Parenthood is the only place for women's health care?
Of course Im speaking in hypotheticals - the pro life world does not think Planned Parenthood is the only way to go or even a direction to veer towards.
Enjoy the Article and give Rebecca a big congrats when you see her next.

National Attention -

The 40 Days for Life movement is getting national attention - You may want to check out these reflections from the sidewalk from one of the authors of Faith and Family. Thanks to Jen for finding it and sharing!

Reasons to Do 40 Days for Life

My story -

For those interested in why I am here working on 40 Days for Life you might like to read the Catholic Anchor's article - here

with my 5 children at the grave of our three babies - Sophia, Faith and Hope.

At least its not raining!

This morning's snow is a reminder of what is to come in this vigil - more snow! Remember everyone, be careful driving to the vigil, walking on the sidewalk and most importantly stay warm!
If anyone has a testament to share from their time on the sidewalk please email me. I would love to hear and share your stories with all those who are participating at home.

And now to share another wonderful photo from the sidewalk - Keep them coming!

Day One

Day 1 of our 40 Days for Life campaign started this morning at 8am.
Here are a few housekeeping notes:

1. Signs will be at Golden Donuts later today. I just got them last night so my apologies for the delay.

2. Parking at OPA only nights and weekends! Otherwise the office bldg behind the old Alaska Women's Clinic on 42nd off Lake Otis is where we can park.

3. Remember to stay on the sidewalk and to be peaceful. If you are not peaceful you are distancing yourself from us and if you are not on the sidewalk APD will more than likely have something to say to you courtesy of Planned Parenthood's complaints.

Contact me if you have any questions or stories to share!

Wednesday's Planning Meeting Agenda

Wednesday's Meeting will cover the following agenda:
- review of the churches we have participating in the campaign/vigil
- discuss dates and strategy for recruiting more volunteers especially at the tables at churches the two Sundays before the vigil starts.
- the opening ceremony and reception at Holy Family on September 25th @ 5:30 p.m.
- discuss plans for the midway rally
- Finding someone to fill the Media Relations Position and the Vigil Coordinator. Media Relations is a flexible but possibly spur of the moment position that will handle press interviews. Vigil Coordinator is a behind the scenes, computer work position that will make the electronic calendar for the sidewalk vigil possible. Please apply! We need all the help we can get!
