Planning Calendar with Resources
Upcoming Events and Opportunities
 The UnChoice. Evidence-based. Holistic. Pro-woman/pro-life.
It's a message that turns the tables, documenting and exposing abortion as a human rights abuse that exploits and endangers the fundamental rights and lives of both the unborn and women.
There are great opportunities coming up to educate people, open doors and change hearts, minds and souls. Plan now to leverage your outreach.
Send a new, timely and powerful evidence-based message about unwanted abortions and post-abortion harm and heartbreak, including not only the loss of babies, but mothers maimed and dying, too.
Use The UnChoice materials to tell "the rest of the story."
What's Ahead? Here's a Sneak Preview!
 Choose one or a few ideas that span from here to next year! Consider a new kind of Mother's Day or Father's Day outreach. Plan even further ahead for a pro-woman/pro-life signature ad for October or next January. (There is a non-signature version, too, of our "39 Years Too Long" ad.) And don't forget the National Day of Prayer in May or outreach opportunities at your State Fair or other events!
In September, during Suicide Prevention Day/Week, the media will be talking about suicide. Reach out and raise awareness about the urgency and impact of abortion's link to suicide, the risks to teens, and resources for Help & Healing.
Check the list for these and other opportunities, including our Church Awareness Project, during Coerced Abortion Awareness Week, April 15-22. This is an opportunity to encourage your pastor to talk about these issues from a pro-woman / pro-life perspective. Sign up here for updates, free resources and news about this important project. This includes our free Help & Healing booklets to find or offer help before or after abortion, including legal help to prevent an unwanted, coerced or forced abortion.
