Here are even more stories from Cody & Caleb’s trip to Florida with our Canadian colleagues.

Showing the truth before it’s too late. After hearing the facts of human embryology, Andre agreed that the preborn are living human beings. But, he raised several concerns, such as foster care, life of the mother, and rape. Andre said, “Logically, factually, objectively, I agree with you, but when put in hard situations, I’m not sure people would make the logical decision.”

That is why projects like GAP and AAP are so important; so that people can see abortion and consider the child’s worth before they find themselves in a terrible situation.

The science of life before birth. Jasmine ranted, “All y’all want to do is talk about the baby and not anything else!” But her true objection was that she doubted our photos were real. So, Cody showed her the See Baby Grow app from the Education Resource Fund (www.ERF.science).

Jasmine was shocked by the endoscopy video of what the baby looks like in the womb so early. She was so visibly affected she could barely even talk. As she was about to leave, Cody gave her information on pregnancy resource centers and post-abortion healing ministries.

A baby is always a blessing. Vincent told Cody that he thought abortion should be permissible only in cases of sexual assault. Cody acknowledged the difficulties regarding conception from rape and Vincent acknowledged that the preborn is a living human being. He was touched when Cody told him the baby would be the only good thing that comes out of that scenario and that abortion would just add another trauma. Vincent walked away with lots to think about.

Each February, our friends from the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR) escape the Great White North to conduct their Abortion Awareness Project (AAP) at universities in Florida. (The AAP is similar to our Genocide Awareness Project.)

CBR staffers Caleb Johnson and Cody Levi joined the Canucks and had dozens of life-changing encounters with students. They came back with many fantastic stories.

Human rights for all human beings. Caleb asked a young man approaching the display if he thought abortion was okay. He said, “No, but it’s the mother’s choice.” So, Caleb used three questions to get to the heart of the issue:

· If something is growing, isn’t it alive?

· If a male human and a female human reproduce, isn’t the offspring human?

· Do you believe in human rights?

The student answered “Yes” to all three. Then, Caleb brought it full circle and asked “And who do you think should get human rights?” The young man smiled widely, “Every living human being.”

Food for thought. Another young man flipped the bird, cursed at Caleb’s question and stomped away. However, about ten steps later, he turned around and came back, saying, “You know what, a respectful question deserves a respectful answer. I’m so sorry.” After that, they had a friendly exchange, during which Caleb was able to make our pro-life position clear. We don’t always change someone’s mind on the spot, but we always give them something to think about. 

Silently pro-life. A pro-life woman from Brazil shared that in her home country, if someone finds out that you are pro-life, you are harassed and hounded until you change your mind or until you won’t dare bring up the topic anymore. And we thought we had it bad!

The Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR) has launched a post-card campaign that puts the truth of abortion into Canadian mail-boxes and homes.  Thousands of people in Calgary have received large post-cards bearing photos of abortion, and there are more to come.  This was the lead story on the local TV station!  See all of the CCBR postcards here.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “America will never reject racism until America sees racism.”  His niece, Dr. Alveda King, now says, “America will never reject abortion until America sees abortion.  That’s why we show it to them.

Help help America whareject abortion; please click here here and be as generous as you can.  Please don’t turn away.  We have invitations to bring our campus outreach project to major universities, but we cannot accept those invitations unless we can raise $18,000 this week!  Please help, because a baby’s life is at stake.
