Summer & Plan-Ahead Event Calendar
Timely Opportunities, Resources & Tools
 Now and in the months ahead, the media and major national organizations will be focusing on certain events or topics. People will be thinking about and talking about them, too.
This is an ideal time to educate the public and our own leaders about related issues, especially evidence that most abortions are unwanted or coerced, (common, yet illegal even under current lax abortion laws) and post-abortion injury, heartbreak and maternal death rates, plus resources for help, hope and healing.
Highlights of upcoming events are listed below, with links to related supporting educational tools. Check our Events Calendar often for other opportunities and resources.

Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Year's Outreach
Holidays are hard for those being pressured to abort or already hurt by abortion, as well as families who lost both an unborn child and a daughter, sister or friend to pregnancy- or abortion-related issues.
Share ads, flyers and materials to educate while deterring individuals and families still at risk and help those still hurting. This includes some teens, mothers and families at risk or already broken by post-abortion trauma, heartbreak or even suicide. Save lives. Share the gift of truth, compassion and hope at Christmastime or anytime.
