That Tebow Superbowl Ad
|
Life Report #86: That Superbowl Ad (Alt. title: "Watching NOW get PWNED in the Media")
It's a testosterone-packed podcast with Josh, Kyle and Jon discussing the Superbowl Ad controversy! Just HOW insane was the reaction of the National Organization of Women on this one? Did the Tim Tebow ad venture into the problems Josh had with the "Imagine the Potential" CatholicVote ads from his infamous debate with Jon last year? These questions are definitively answered in this episode. Click here for the full episode.In the next episode we discuss whether the ad was too soft, or "not pro-life enough." |

Planned Parenthood Unveiled
|
|
 Our pro-life training series continues with it's third installment on March 9: "Planned Parenthood Unveiled: What They Don't Want You to Know." Many people automatically associate Planned Parenthood with abortion. It's appropriate; they are the nation's leading abortion provider. However, there's a lot more to Planned Parenthood than just abortions. Learn how Planned Parenthood has been caught promoting violence against pro-lifers, how they promote promiscuity in teens, protect statutory rapists, encourage forced sterilizations in other countries, and see documented proof that they sell body parts of the babies they abort, and more. You'll also learn about some common misconceptions pro-lifers have about Planned Parenthood's agenda in the African-American community.
We'll be recording these presentations in case you miss one. Keep an eye on FresnoProLife.org, as we'll be releasing the audio from the second installment, "Stem Cell Research 101: A Brave New World" later this week...
Future Titles Include:
- "Stem Cell Research 201: What the Media is Not Telling You"
- "Proving Pro-Life Points with Pro-Abortion Materials"
- "Human Cloning: Truth vs. Science Fiction"
- "6 Faulty Pro-Life Arguments and Tactics"
- "Busting Myths About Adoption"
- "Euthanasia & Assisted Suicide: Where Are We Headed?"
2nd Tuesday of the Month; 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. - No Registration RequiredFresno Right to Life Office: 1742 E Griffith Way, FresnoFor information, call Josh Brahm at (559) 229-BABY (2229) |

Amazing Results at San Joaquin Memorial HS
|
|
 We're focusing on expanding our high school outreach, after some awesome results from a presentation Josh Brahm did late last year at San Joaquin Memorial High School. Josh spoke on how to effectively defend our pro-life views with those that disagree with us, and led a Q&A time at the end. After the 30-minute presentation in front of a 100+ audience, many students thanked Josh, but it wasn't until the last student walked up that we knew what had taken place. This girl had become pro-life in 20 minutes!
"I used to be pro-choice. Today I became pro-life. I used to believe that nobody has the right to tell a woman what they can and cannot do in a medical situation. After your explanation I came to the realization that I was wrong. Your reasoning has helped me better understand the abortion debate. I am happy to say that I am now at peace with my Christian beliefs. Thank you for touching my faith, helping me grow in my belief, and be a good ambassador of Jesus."
~ Arieana, Student, San Joaquin Memorial High School
The day after the presentation, one of their teachers sent an email to my boss saying:
"I just wanted to let you know that Josh did an outstanding job at the presentation at SJM yesterday! Today, in my Religion class, we had a meaningful discussion about the gravity of the situation. The kids were really hit hard, especially by the hearts symbolizing the number of lives lost. They also appreciated knowing how to defend themselves better--one student brought up "SLED" and the class remembered the acronym and found it helpful. All in all, it was a thought-provoking, timely, and engaging presentation. Thank you again for coming, Josh, and inspiring us with your example and passion. And thank you all for your endeavors and heart with RTLCC and your compassion hit us all, and we are very encouraged by your efforts to reach young people. The horrors of the stats really got to me... but that is why I admire you for working to educate people and debate the other side."
~ Carlie Frye, English/Religious Instructor, San Joaquin Memorial High School

Quote of the Month
"Josh, Carrie, and Liz are entertaining to listen to, even though they are addressing a very serious subject. Their podcast is geared toward a younger audience, but any age would appreciate it. They have a refreshing perspective on many of the issues, and Carrie adds a unique view as a post-abortive woman. They also provide information about lots of great resources and websites for the pro-life activist. I would challenge pro-choice people to listen to this podcast, as it will definitely get them thinking!"
