Renee Kling will lead pro-life activism in Kentucky!

The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR), Southeast Region Operations, is pleased to announce the appointment of Renee Kling of of Cold Spring, Kentucky, as our newest Project Director, primarily responsible for projects in Kentucky.

Renee is a recent graduate of Eastern Kentucky University (EKU), where she was a founding member and later president of the EKU Students for Life.  During her junior year, the Students for Life hosted CBR’s Genocide Awareness Project (GAP).  She saw how effective it is to simply show people the truth about abortion.

Some of her priorities for the Commonwealth will include

• GAP displays at Kentucky’s largest unviersities,
• Choice Chains all over the state,
• leadership training/mentoring for the next generation of pro-life leaders.

Renee has always been active in Christian and pro-life ministry.  At EKU, she was a leader in the Newman Center campus ministry, and from there joined the effort to rejuvenate pro-life activism on campus.  In addition to hosting GAP, EKU Students for Life hosted CBR’s Pro-Life Training Academy, created a Cemetery of the Innocents (cross display), hosted a debate between CBR Southeast Director Fletcher Armstrong and a pro-abortion faculty member on campus, and conducted many other projects.

Even as a high-school student, Renee was active in pro-life work, participating in such projects as the March for Life and the Cemetery of the Innocents.

She is excited to start her ministry with CBR, but not as thrilled as we are to have her join our staff.  Welcome aboard, Renee!  We’re expecting GREAT!

If you’d like to support Renee (or any of our new staff members), it’s quick, easy, and secure to support CBR online.  Whatever you can do will make a huge difference.  To support Renee’s work in Kentucky, designate your gift for “Kentucky Projects (SE-RMK).”

Jay Watts shows the audience how to deal with pro-choice atheists like ... well ... his former self.

Our Pro Life Training Academy in Richmond, Kentucky on Saturday was a home run.  More than 30 attended, including students from Eastern Kentucky U (EKU)  and the U of Kentucky (UK), members of Central Kentucky Right to Life and Madison County Right to Life, and women from Silent No More.

We are thrilled that post-abortive women from Silent No More have volunteered to participate in our GAP events at EKU and UK this coming week!  The compassion of post-abortive women alongside the difficult photos of abortion are a powerful combination.  Silent No More and Deeper Still are an answer to prayer.

Jay Watts of the Life Training Institute was our featured speaker.  As a former pro-choice atheist, Jay showed us all how to deal with people like … well … his former self!  Jay demonstrated the Columbo technique for assessing and responding to pro-choice questions and arguments.  He also taught the students how to use SLED and trot out the toddler.

I spoke about the need to use abortion pictures to show people the truth about abortion and demonstrated how to use the various apologetics techniques in front of our GAP display.  Here’s an Pro Life Training Academy course outline.  We spent about 20 minutes doing role-playing.

Next stop for the Academy is Baltimore, MD (April 30) and the University of Deleware (May 1).  Contact us to bring the Pro Life Training Academy to your city.
