1. To encourage supportive pro-lifers and those who are supportive of the pro-life cause, to write editorials to receptive publications. - For suggestions on authoring these editorials please visit prolifeletters.com.
2. To encourage supportive pro-lifers and those who are supportive of the pro-life cause, to "plant seeds" that will grow and spread. i.e.: There is an abundance of pro-life resources that give overwhelming credence to our cause waiting to be distributed and left at vital locations. This method/zeal of distributing literature is somewhat similar to what the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and Gideons employ to spread their message. This strategy is very effective and requires little time. Its also important to pray that this pro-life material will find its way into receptive hands of people that are "on the fence" or are in agreement and will spread the word. Its okay to "preach to the choir" providing that the choir relays the message. Presently, for the most part, pro-life resources are found only in pro-life booths at festivities, and crisis pregnancy centers.
Update 12/08: In Regards to the Recent Election
Dear Mr. President-elect:
In your acceptance speech you stated that we can come together, since our country was more divided after the Civil War than now. I disagree. There is an ethical parallel between our nation's division during the Civil War Era and the present time. Before freeing the slaves, President Lincoln had to dispel the assumption of many, including the Supreme Court justices, that black people weren't completely human. In comparison, our age's similarly infamous belief is that the pre-born are not completely human, even though modern technology such as the sonogram provides undeniable evidence of their humanity.
Your reply to a question about the living state of the pre-born was, “That question is above my pay grade.” The following authoritative quote is by the acclaimed genetic scientist and professor, Dr. Jerome Lejune: “If a fertilized egg is not in itself a complete human being, it could never become a man, because something else would have to be added, and we know that does not happen.”
If by way of investigating the pro-life side of the debate you changed your stance on the abortion issue, it would not be entirely inconsistent with the Democratic platform. This was evidenced by a speaker for Democrats for Life at the January 2006 Pro-life Rally in San Francisco. Considering the above, should not the benefit of any doubt about the humanity of the pre-born go to the side of life? Your statement, “If my daughter made a mistake I wouldn't want her to be punished with a child,” is quite a paradox—coming from a devoted husband and father. Changing your position on abortion and related ethical issues would not be as far fetched as it may seem.
Surely you are aware of prominent persons who altered their views on the matter. Former abortionist and once-director of the nation's largest abortion clinic, Dr. Bernard Nathanson has written a book, produced two videos, and lectures worldwide against abortion. Norma McCorvey of Roe v. Wade has written a book on her conversion to the pro-life side. President Regan was pro-choice when he was governor of California, but on assuming the presidency became pro-life to the point of authoring Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation and doing all in his power to restrict abortion.
I am praying, along with numerous other dedicated pro-life devotees and organizations, that you will reconsider your position on abortion and related issues such as embryonic stem cell research—before using your power to reverse the accomplishments of the pro-life movement during the past three decades. Could it be beyond a coincidence that you are from the same state as the president who freed the slaves? I suspect that President Lincoln would be proud of your taking a stand to free the one in four babies destined for elective abortion.
I hope that you will follow through with the promise in your acceptance speech, “I'm willing to listen.”
Sincerely,
Sol Rudnick

Resource Suggestions for "Planting Seeds"
Heritage House - www.hh76.com (800) 858-3040 - The world's largest pro-life resource. I recommend their Precious One fetal models. They are very realistic and affordable.
Life Dynamics - www.lifedynamics.com (940) 380-8800. Their Choice brochure I believe to be the best available.

* I acquire an abundance of pro-life resources such as those mentioned above that I would love to share with dedicated pro-lifers that I'm acquainted with, or are referred to me. All I ask is that you distribute and/or leave them at vital locations as mentioned in the mission statement.
One of Several Scripture References Proclaiming the Humanity of the Pre-Born
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. - Psalm 139:13-16
A Scripture References Instructing Us to Expose the Evil of Abortion
Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, "but we knew nothing about this," does not He who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not He who guards your life know it? Will He not repay each person according to what he has done? - Proverbs: 24:11-12
Scientific Evidence that Confirms the Humanity of the Pre-Born
1. Recent technological advances in sonograms and 3-dimensional imaging give overwhelming support to the humanity of the pre-born.
2. "If a fertilized egg is not by itself a full human being, it could never become a man, because something would have to be added to it, and we know that does not happen." - Jerome Lejeune, Genetics Professor
Alternatives to Abortion
In conjunction with my pro-life ministry, I meet many people who are "on the fence" or who are throughly supportive of our cause, although not active in the pro-life movement. Many of these sympathizers, and virtually all of our adversaries comment that we don't offer alternatives to abortion. Apparently the majority of people are not getting our messages advocating the alternatives of adoption, abstinence, crisis pregnancy centers, hotlines, and Natural Family Planning. Could it be that we're mainly "preaching to the choir," and the choir isn't relaying the message?

8 Reasons Why the Pro-Life Movement is Winning
by Father Frank Pavone, M.E.V., National Director, Priests for Life
1. Ever-growing involvement of young people.
2. The flow of conversions. (National polls are showing this.) Thanks to all the pro-life education going on.
3. Silent No More Awareness Campaign - Women and men speak out concerning their regret on having had an abortion.
4. Fewer abortionists, fewer abortion mills - from 2,000 in 1993 to 740 today. Who wants to be an abortionist?
5. Legal evidence mounts - personhood of unborn child. Legislation pending in Congress on personhood.
6. Growing evidence that abortion harms women.
7. Legislation: The Supreme Court banned partial birth abortion. Congress passed and the President signed Born-Alive Infants Protection Act and Unborn Victims of Violence Act. 28 states have laws that protect unborn life and/or trigger laws that would immediately go into effect if Roe v. Wade was reversed and sent back to the states.
8. Corruption at abortion clinics is uncovered - www.childpredator.com - www.clinicworker.com

Please pray for the complete pro-life conversion of all elected officials. i.e. President Ronald Reagan was “pro-choice” when he was governor of California. After being elected President he became the most pro-life president we’ve ever had, to the point of writing a book while he was in office on the subject, titled Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation.
A Work in Progress Website
This website was launched in April of 2008. I will keep all on my postal mailing list informed of updates and additions. I'll soon be starting an advisory committee for this website. I welcome your input, suggestions and prayers for this endeavor. Please relay this website far and wide in whatever way works best for you.
My Utmost Thanks
I'd like to express my utmost gratitude to all my supportive church friends who helped make this venture possible, especially the following: Doctor William Carnazzo, Andrew Pudewa, Paul Santos and family, Regina Foster and Roland Risch, and last but not least, Frederica Kreitzer (fredericakreitzer.com).
A Final Thought
The "pro-choice" forces are battling God. Guess who will win? However, as has always been the case with God conquering evil, he wants man to be a part of the victory. What a compliment to the potential of mankind! One of your rewards for pursuing the mission statement will likely be meeting some of the babies you’ve saved. As Mother Teresa stated - "God doesn't expect us to be successful, only faithful." It was my pro-life dedication that motivated me to survey Christianity and convert from Judiasm to Catholicism.
