Nicole W. CooleyAuthor of Into the Light: Rape, Abortion and the Truth that Set Me FreeIf the first four words of the Bible don't mean anything to you, it is probable the entire abortion debate eludes you as well. Without God, life has no meaning. Without God, there are no moral absolutes. Without God, human beings are on an equal footing with animals - or perhaps a lesser one since humans are not endangered (unless they are unborn). There IS such a thing as absolute truth. One example is the concept of gravity - it exists whether you believe in it or not. I'd argue the same is true of God. Human life is precious because a loving God said His creation was "very good" in reference to man. It breaks my heart that our pets in this country are treated with more decency than our unborn children. Until the tragedy of abortion is fully exposed, it will not end.

Pro Life on Campus is an outreach of the Southeast Region of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform. They edcuate college students about abortion through their Genocide Awareness Project on college campuses. Through the use of graphic images, they compare abortion to other well known forms of genocide and engage students in a open discussion about abortion. The impact of this project lasts for weeks after the typical two day visit to a particular campus, and not only changes hearts and minds about abortion, but saves lives every time. The use of graphic images is a historically tested model for effective social reform - used previously to end child labor in the US, the slave trade, and most recently by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr during the Civil Rights Movement. Once we can agree on what abortion actually is...which pictures illustrate better than any words ever could....the obvious superiority of the pro-life position is solidified in the hearts and minds of individuals, motivating many to active involvement in our pro-life movement.
If you do not know the truth about abortion, I encourage you to click on the logo to go to CBR's website. It is graphic. Pictures can explain the truth better than hours of rhetorical debate. Pictures were critical to ending slavery and segregation in this country as well. People had to see the brutality first before they were compelled to do something about it. I wish I had known the truth before I made the decision to abort my child - the single most regretable decision of my entire life.
This website has information on human engineering and the Elliot Institute's efforts to ban the abhorrent practice. They have also done a lot of research on the impact of abortion on women. See the related link on the Victims and Victors book link on the "Help, I'm Hurting" page.
The Life Issues Institute has the stated mission of assuring, through education, equal protection under the law for all living humans from the beginning of their biological life at fertilization until natural death. They produce the TV show, "Facing Life Head-On" that featured my story in the December 1 episode. The first pro-life organization in the United States, they have focused on education to change hearts and minds - a critical component to ultimately changing laws concerning abortion.
National RIght to LIfe was founded in 1973 in response to the Roe vs. Wade decision of the US Supreme Court. According to their website, "the ultimate goal of the National Right to Life Committee is to restore legal protection to innocent human life." Click above to go to their website which provides both information on all life issues - from abortion to euthanasia - and the tools for activism. They also publish an informative monthly newspaper to members which I also highly recommend. Their annual conference is informative and inspriational to rally the troops on the most important political issue facing the United States today.
God can move the hands of kings, and prayer can move the hand of God. I am personally committed to pray for President Obama. Membership in the online Presidential Prayer Team has been helpful in this task by providing specific areas for prayer as well as administration officials of the day as well.
