 The UnLetter: Resource Update
News from The UnChoice campaign -- an evidence-based education and outreach project from the Elliot Institute to raise awareness about unwanted abortions and post-abortion issues. From coercion to aftereffects, abortion is an assault on the fundamental rights and lives of both the unborn and women. Learn more at:

for you never know how soon it will be too late."

Upcoming Events and Opportunities!
 There are some great opportunities coming up to leverage your outreach. Share well-timed, evidence-based, Pro-woman/Pro-life, pro-hope and proactive educational materials from the Elliot Institute.
What's ahead? Check the list and links below for ideas!
Consider new, Pro-woman/Pro-life Signature Ads or flyers to run during January pro-life events with new evidence that will shake up the debate. Or, renew someone's hope and save lives while educating and challenging the public at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Check out our free compassionately presented, evidence-based holiday ads and flyers.
Don't forget January events, too! Order new, attention-getting rally signs, buttons, bumper stickers and apparel for March for Life activities, plus local, regional or national media events and outreach surrounding the Jan. 23 Roe v. Wade anniversary.
January is also a good time to jog the public conscience with letters to the editor, press releases and more about new evidence of unwanted abortions and post-abortion issues, including higher maternal death rates.
Jan. 2012 Signature Ad and Non-Signature Versions Now Available!
Flyers or Ads, Including a "Co-op" Version You Can Customize
 Use these "non-signature" versions during January events and beyond. Use them as ads or flyers in publications, as handouts or as bulletin or newsletter inserts. You can post them on bulletin boards where permitted or share them online via social media, web sites, blogs, etc.
The flyer/ad is available in regular and co-op versions. The co-op version has a small box where you can add local event or outreach information, a sponsor's logo or a personal message. See the ads and learn more about these and other ads, plus tips for how to use them, at TheUnChoice.com.
Winter Calendar of Upcoming Events and Opportunities:
NOVEMBER ...
Newsworthy national events during November: National Family Week, National Adoption Month, Prematurity Awareness Day/Month and Lung Cancer Awareness Week (abortion linked to smoking and lung cancer). Visit our Planning Calendar page and Advocacy & Outreach section for links to events and supporting materials, such as letters to the editor, press releases, research, etc.

Political Campaigns and Elections -- Educate and challenge campaign leaders, candidates and elected representatives. Share these and other materials. Find more in our Political Advocacy section.
DECEMBER ...
Holidays can be hard for individuals and families grieving abuses and loss often surrounding abortion. Due to the often-heated public rhetoric and the personal nature of their experience, most will avoid speaking of their heartache. Some are still at risk of coercion while others may experience trauma, self-destructive behaviors or even suicide. Teens are especially at risk. Save lives and share hope while educating the public, too.
- Christmas Ads/Flyers -- Use as ads or flyers in civic, school or church publications and elsewhere. Post on bulletin boards or share online.
- Teens Page -- Reach out to those at risk or already hurt. Warn parents and others of risks before or after abortion.
- Suicide Page -- Some are at risk before or after abortion. Learn more. Share.
- Help, Hope & Healing -- Share links and resources for help before or after abortion, including timely help for those being coerced.
- Charity -- Help sustain this outreach into 2012 with a tax-deductible end of year donation to the Elliot Institute. Use GoodShop.com for Christmas shopping and discounts, too. Choose "Elliot Institute" as your charity. (Learn more.)
