If you can help us from that would be great.
This fall, our community will once again be uniting with dozens of other cities across the U.S. for the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history – the 40 Days for Life campaign.
People of faith are praying that this effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion.
40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life campaign that has generated measurable lifesaving results in more than 130 cities where it has been implemented. Some locations have reported as much as a 28% drop in local abortion numbers and hundreds of new people getting involved in local lifesaving ministry efforts. The 40 Days for Life campaign is made up of three key components:
- Prayer and Fasting: inviting people of faith throughout our city to join together for 40 days of fervent prayer and fasting for an end to abortion
- Peaceful Vigil: standing for life through a 40-day peaceful public witness outside Reproductive Services, the abortion facility in Tulsa at 6136 E 32nd Place
- Community Outreach: taking a positive, upbeat pro-life message to every corner of our city through media efforts, church presentations, petition drives and public visibility
Learn how you can “speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves” here in Tulsa by contacting campaign directors Erick Bell and Tracy Callicoat at (918) 307-4939 or

| | | | | | Abortion mandate in health bill | The healthcare reform legislation currently before Congress contains an abortion mandate that is a grave threat to human life. The bill's language will result in federally mandated abortion coverage by nearly all health plans, recruitment of abortion doctors into local health networks, and the nullification of many state laws that place reasonable limits on abortion. The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) has called this legislation the "largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade." We urge you to write to your senators and congressman today. Click here where you can learn more about the health legislation and send a message to your two senators and congressman. To read a letter from 19 House Democrats who insist they will not support a health bill unless it explicitly excludes abortion, click here. Time is of the essence as congressional leaders want to pass the bill in the Senate and House by the end of July. A coalition of prominent pro-life leaders have arranged a Stop The Abortion Mandate live webcast for the public this Thursday, July 23rd, 2009, at 9 PM Eastern (8PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific). | | | | | | |
