Local Campaign News

Vendors Service Site

During the first 3 days for our campaign at the sidewalk in Reno, we have seen three different vendors enter the abortion site property. It might be worth your time to contact these businesses to let them know that you don’t appreciate their support of this abortion business.

  • Weds Schmueser & Associates: 1901 Railroad Avenue, Rifle, Colorado 81650 (970) 625-5554
  • Thurs Desert Hills Video Surveillance Systems: 2136 Kleppe Lane, Sparks, NV, 89431 (775) 359 2005, Fax: (775) 359 2021, sales@deserthills.com
  • Fri H2O Environmental Inc.: 3510 Barron Way, Ste 200, Reno NV 89502 (775) 351-2237

Please remember to be polite and respectful in your communications as you ask these businesses to rethink who they choose to do business with.

More on Yesterday’s Save

Yesterday we reported on two saves at the sidewalk, including Elizabeth who returned for a refund after investigating the availability of resources to support her in making another choice, the choice of Life for her child. Yesterday evening, just as the update was being sent, Elizabeth sent the following text message to the volunteers who spoke to her at the sidewalk.

I just wanted to send you guys a text to let you know, that what you do out there does make a difference. When I went to that abortion clinic last week to drop off my money to terminate my pregnancy, I saw people standing outside with signs. I didn’t expect to see that and a part of me felt ashamed. I think that maybe there was another way. All this week I thought and prayed about it, and I realized in my heart what the right thing to do was. I can’t help but think, that had you guys not been there that day to remind me that I had another choice, that maybe one more baby would have died today. Don’t stop what you’re doing. It matters. It did to me. From the blonde lady in the white SUV, who picked up her money instead of aborting her baby today …

40 Days through Scripture

Day 4: Matthew 19 – 24 (including: Matt 22:34-40)
When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together and one of them [a scholar of the law] tested him by asking, “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with al your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it; You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

Remember, when coming to the sidewalk, that the emphasis must always be on bringing the Love of Christ to the sidewalk. It is only by being a good witness of this love that we can hope to bring these workers to Christ and the forgiveness he gives to the repentant heart.

Join us as we read the New Testament over the course of the 40 Day campaign.

Women Want Abstinence-Based Empowerment, Not NOW and Casual Sex

[LifeNews.com, Duluth, MN] - by Jennifer A. Marshall. A group that thinks an ad celebrating Tim Tebow's life is bad news for women might be a little out of touch with what women really want. That helps explain why the National Organization for Women and other feminist groups have vehemently opposed abstinence education while failing to notice that a culture of casual sex hasn't been so liberating for women.

Just ask the 29-year-old Briton living in America whose anonymous account appeared in her country's left-wing Guardian newspaper.

"(M)y sexual liberation was perversely trapping me in destructive relationships, while intimacy had become something elusive, insubstantial, disappointing, surreal," she writes. Weary of a "burlesque comedy where we all pretended we were emotionless and cool," she decided to stop having sex because "I wanted sex to be, quite simply, special again."

Similar world-weary statements have been recorded by researchers such as Dr. Miriam Grossman, author of "Unprotected," and Laura Sessions Stepp, author of "Unhooked: How Young Women Pursue Sex, Delay Love and Lose at Both." Only a third of young women say they truly wanted to have sex the first time they did, Stepp reports. Young women, she writes, "are trying to make sense of what is arguably the most confusing sexual landscape any generation has ever faced." Full story at LifeNews.com

Abortion 101

Pregnancy Resource Centers

[Family Research Council] Over the past 40 years a movement of women and men has created and sustained a vital service in an area of unsurpassed need. Exemplifying the enduring American principles of voluntary and selfless giving, a mustard seed of concern for women facing unexpected pregnancies has blossomed into dynamic national and international networks of love in action. Today, through a massive commitment of personal time and professional services, the movement to provide pregnancy-related resources encompasses thousands of centers worldwide that bring aid and hope to millions of people each year.

The scope of these centers varies but their mission is single-hearted: to communicate to women and their families that their lives are valuable and that their needs - emotional, psychological, medical, spiritual and practical - can and will be met. With honesty and compassion, the global pregnancy resource movement now offers powerful community-based programs whose accomplishments are a story not yet fully told. The goal of this report is to embark upon that telling, to provide to layman and professional alike, to the legislator and the citizen - to all people of goodwill - an account of the good that is being done in our midst.
