40 Days for Life Concludes with
Lives Saved & Hearts Changed!
Right to Life's 40 Days for Life campaign has just concluded with huge success stories of lives saved and hearts changed. Volunteers from across the San Joaquin Valley reached thousands of people through this powerful 40 day prayer ministry in front of one of the valley's busiest abortion facilities-Planned Parenthood Mar Monte of Fresno.

Through this kind and compassionate ministry, Right to Life led supporters in prayer and offered pro-life alternatives to unplanned pregnancy as well as post-abortive healing to young women for twelve hours each day from September 22nd through October 31st. And God answered our prayers!

Savanna* is five months pregnant today, and the mother of two born children both under eight years old. Three weeks ago, Wednesday, she visited the Planned Parenthood in Fresno for her scheduled abortion. She was done having children, and didn't want to bring anymore into this rough world. But God had other plans...

NO Defending Life Training this Month!
We're nearing the end of our year-long pro-life training series! We've decided to cancel the November, as our volunteers and supporters have just finished the 40 Days prayer vigil, (what a marathon!) and we're getting ready for the auction.

We will still have a December training: "Busting Myths about Adoption & Pregnancy Care Centers." Special guests Kristi Burkhart from the Fresno Pregnancy Care Center and Stephanie Grant from Infant of Prague Adoption Services will be here to engage in an interactive discussion with Josh to shed light on the common misconceptions pro-lifers are told by pro-choicers in everyday conversations.

This training will NOT be on Tuesday, but Thursday, December 16th, at the RLCC office from 6:30 - 8 p.m.

A Brand New Pro-Life Argument!
Life Report #104: Female Genital Mutilation & Back Alley Abortions

Description: In this episode, Josh shares a recent debate about U.S. policy on female genital mutilation, and how this story can be used by pro-lifers when discussing back-alley abortions. This may turn out to be one of the strongest pro-life arguments against the view that abortion should be kept legal to protect women from more dangerous abortions. But you'll have to watch or listen to the show to learn how YOU can use this in abortion dialogues. (Thanks to Justice For All's Trent Horn for alerting Josh to this argument.)



PG-13 WARNING:
While female genital mutilation is never described in this episode, the concept in general is very difficult, and we would recommend parental discretion if young children are around.

Listener Mail: "Say, I've been using the S.L.E.D. argument in a few debates. However, some people will just bite the bullet and say that the mentally handicapped and Alzheimer's patients are non-persons, or that there is no difference between killing and eating babies versus pigs. No matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to show them how repugnant this is."
