Our Annual Pro-Life Prayer Breakfast was a Great Success
Our featured Keynote speaker this year was Nikki Bruni, coordinator of 40 Days for Life in Pittsburgh. Nikki is a wife and mother. She works part-time as a hairdresser and as the director of Pittsburgh’s 40 Days for Life has led 23 consecutive campaigns! She holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University and enjoys using her artistic abilities to glorify God. Her paintings, “Memorial of Mercy”, “The Innocents”, and “The Pieta” are tributes to the lives lost to abortion. The “Memorial of Mercy” travelled to over 60 churches, “The Innocents” travelled to over 30 churches, and her most recent memorial painting, “The Pieta” also travelled to many churches.
We were honored to have Nikki Bruni join us for this year’s Prayer Breakfast!

LOGICAL ARGUMENT: It is wrong to kill an innocent human being. Abortion is the killing of an innocent human being. Therefore abortion is wrong.
Abortion Pill Kills Nearly 4 million preborn children have been killed, 24 maternal deaths and over 4,000 reports of adverse affects since FDA approval. More info: https://www.liveaction.org/abortion-pill-kills/

Star Parker is the founder and president of Cure; the Center for Urban Renewal and Education.
In a recent article in the Bismarck Tribune, Star said “We should appreciate the broader implications of the abortion issue. When we are talking about life and death, we are talking about life’s meaning and how that plays out in our culture.” Later in the same article she said “The legalization of abortion on demand in America in 1973 amounted to a puncture in our nation’s soul. We were blind. We must work hard so that we will see again. We have been watching the inexorable unraveling of the social and cultural fabric of our nation since the Roe v. Wade decision, since we decided to devalue life.” www.urbancure.org
We are honored to have had Star Parker join us for this year’s Prayer Breakfast!

There is so much confusion surrounding the funding of stem cell research. Most people don't even know that there is ethical ADULT stem cell research. Many don't know that EMBRYONIC stem cell research requires the destruction of the human embryo in its earliest stage of development. The media continues to push the "potential" hype surrounding Embryonic Stem Cell Research while basically ignoring ADULT successful therapies.
This educational page begins with "What is a Stem Cell?" and ends with the issues and root cause of the confusion. You may have guessed it - greed.

It is scientifically incontrovertible fact that a human person exists from the moment of fertilization in the mother's womb and does not receive another cell from his mother's body. He or she is genetically complete, unique, and cannot be duplicated. All of the characteristics that person will have as an adult are already determined, including eye color, skin pigmentation, sex and intelligence potential. With nourishment and time, the new individual life will develop from the instant of fertilization through childhood, adolescence, maturity, and old age, to natural death.

VOTE PRO-LIFE! It is very important to know what pro-life legislation your representatives have or have not sponsored.
Check out the National Right To Life Committee's Senate Scoreboard and House Scoreboard to find how each member of Congress has voted on life legislation.
If your representatives have voted pro-life, call or email them to thank them and encourage them to be steadfast.
If not, contact them to express the life facts and citizen responsibilities surrounding the issue.
The Declaration of Independence states: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
The term "all men" has always meant "all human beings" and it is a biological fact that an embryo from a human being is a human being from the moment of fertilization.
Therefore, from the moment of fertilization the pre-born has the unalienable right to life!
Is it greed, arrogance, or ignorance that keeps some people from following such simple logic?
