There's no way to sugarcoat this:
The Culture of Death is on the move in our nation. Every day, as we go about our daily lives – working, taking our kids to baseball practice, heading to church, and meeting with friends – it's there. It's there as mothers and fathers are deceived into believing that abortion is their only option, and it's there as bodies of preborn baby girls and boys are thrown in the trash.
By now, I'm sure you have heard the latest from Planned Parenthood in Florida. One of their officials testified in front of the Florida legislature that a baby boy or girl born alive during an abortion should be allowed to be killed, saying it "should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician."
And you may have heard about the Kermit Gosnell trial going on this week in Philadelphia. He's the multi-millionaire abortionist who, along with his wife and staff, was arrested for doing illegal late-term abortions and killing a woman during an abortion as well as babies that had been born alive. In the process of raiding his abortion facility, police found what has been described as a sickening "house of horrors" – blood on medical instruments and beds and an ordinary kitchen sink garage disposal which he and his staff were using to grind up parts of the babies they killed. He kept his abortion business unsanitary and unsafe – he lacked even basic items like crash carts for medical emergencies.
Not surprisingly, the mainstream media has failed to report on this gruesome case – but because of the trial this week, the world has now seen the photos of the feet Gosnell cut off of full-term babies he had aborted and kept in jars in his office. Photos of babies Gosnell aborted – babies he joked were "big enough to walk to the bus stop" – by partial-birth abortion have been entered into evidence and exposed.The Culture of Death is on the move in our nation.

These are the ghastly results of the Culture of Death in America, and I'm sad to say that this culture is pervasive on college campuses, fostering hatred and suspicion of pro-life students.
Last week, Students for Life broke an important story at one of our nation's premier universities, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. You see, the new pro-life group we are helping to start at the school, Voice for Life, was denied official university club status just before Easter because one of the activities the group plans on engaging in is off campus sidewalk counseling. Despite the peaceful nature of sidewalk counseling, which has saved thousands of babies from abortion and countless women and men from pain, the officers of the JHU Student Government Association (SGA) deemed that sidewalk counseling violates the school's harassment policies.
And on top of that, a private email between the SGA officers surfaced that showed the SGA's extreme bias against pro-lifers. One student wrote that she felt that Voice for Life's message amounts to "hate speech" that would "violate" and "attack" women. She also said that it would force students to "defend their beliefs on their way to class," something she thought was unfair, citing a "right to protect our students from things that are uncomfortable." So much for the free expression of ideas and academic inquiry, which our universities purport to advance!
But another student took the cake in this e-mail chain when he wrote to the other SGA officers comparing Voice for Life to a white supremacist hate group! These are the kinds of vicious attacks our students face every day on campuses across the country. Their peers, and even professors and administrators, attempt to silence them by denying their right to speak out and hatefully slandering their character by calling them racists and bigots.
Now, our students are appealing the SGA's biased decision, and we've got national media attention putting pressure on the school to do the right thing and uphold their free speech. We will know in the next week whether or not freedom of speech and association prevails at Johns Hopkins, which ironically has the motto "The truth will set you free." We must ensure our students are able to peacefully spread the pro-life message without being intimidated.
Whether it's the murder of infants and their mothers, or the biased denial of speech that exposes the truth, the Culture of Death will stop at nothing to get its way.
It truly is spiritual warfare.
And I'm sorry to say that things are going to get worse because the Culture of Death is getting desperate.
Why?

Why?
Every gruesome story like the Gosnell case and the Florida Planned Parenthood official admitting support for infanticide proves their true agenda. Every case of shouting down and intimidating voices for life exposes them for what they truly are.
This generation knows the truth. Facts and science are on our side, and America is beginning to wake up from its 40 year slumber - of its 40 years of sweeping abortion under the rug.
Stuart, I have a very special announcement to share with you next week about Students for Life's newest plan to expose Planned Parenthood and the Culture of Death. I'm bursting at the seams trying to keep this special project a secret, I want to share it with you so badly!
But I just had to write you today to make sure you knew all that is going on, and to ask you to pray for our student leaders across the nation this week, especially the young students at Johns Hopkins as they prepare for their student hearing this coming Tuesday, which we fear is going to be stacked against them.
And today, as you go about your life – driving back from work, heading to Bible study, or taking the kids to practice – think about how you can get further involved in fighting the Culture of Death. Whether that's praying daily for our mission at Students for Life, donating to us to help carry out your passion, or getting involved right in your community with the pro-life movement.
Please keep SFLA in your prayers this week and consider pitching in $15, $25, or $50 as we help the courageous students at Johns Hopkins fight back and train and equip thousands of young people to take the Culture of Death head on at over 705 college campuses across the nation.
Time is running out for this school year, and our team is scattered right now. This week, we are in Arkansas, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Missouri, Oregon, Washington, Virgina, Maryland, and California. Please help ensure we have the resources we need to take the buses, trains, and airplanes to each group of pro-life students who are courageously standing for Life and need our help before the school year comes to a close by pitching in what you can.
Thank you for your dedication. It's an honor to stand alongside you in this fight. With your help, we WILL defeat the Culture of Death.
