Why would someone change their mind at the very last minute, as they are entering Planned Parenthood to abort their baby? It is discouraging for those of us who are praying in front of that place, and watching the couples entering. Why can’t they just stop…change their minds and choose life for their babies? It …
When I first stepped onto the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood back in 2009, I was a new Christian. I had never before participated in any sort of pro-life activism, and had never prayed in public before.

Dallas Jenkins has produced an amazing series all about the life of Christ, and portrays Jesus in a very personal way as he “chooses” his disciples. In this free series (available with a free app on your phone or on YouTube…click here for the link …
I arrived 15 minutes early for my weekly shift at PP last Wednesday, so I had some quiet time to reflect and pray while waiting for my partner, Amy, to arrive. No employees had arrived yet and the sidewalks were quiet and peaceful. I took this picture to remind me of the insight that God …
Spring is in the air, and along with new life sprouting up all around us, enthusiasm for new life is high among our pro-life family here in Pittsburgh! Along with the opening of a brand new PRC in East Liberty this week, our Sidewalk Advocates for Life is partnering with 40 Days for Life Pittsburgh …
I wasn’t planning on writing another blog post, since our 40 days are now over, but because of a request from our dear Bishop Waltersheid, asking for a favor (which will be at the end of this post), I have decided to sit down and write a final reflection which will close out our Lenten …
