Survivors traveled to Wichita, Kansas and Washington, D.C., last weekend to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade in very different ways.
Campus Life Tour Director Kortney headed to Washington with a team of Survivors to participate in Rock for Lifes activities, and to energize young people at the March for Life.
Meanwhile, a group of Survivors leaders and youth made their way to Wichita to join an effort to expose George Tiller, the infamous late-term abortionist.
Survivors activities in Washington were a success, and an added bonus was the distribution of 10,000 handbills calling for youth to join the Survivors at our Leadership Training Camp and on the Campus Life Tour. Please pray for young people to join the Tour and attend camp as a result of our advertisements. We know there are many pro-life youth across America who want to do something, but dont know where to start! Hopefully, we reached some of those youth and inspired them to join the Survivors.
In Wichita, the Survivors helped lead demonstrations calling for the criminal case against abortionist George Tiller to be re-opened.
Earlier this month, Wichita District Attorney Nola Foulston dismissed very serious charges against Tiller – on a technicality. Those criminal charges stemmed from allegations of illegal late-term abortions, and some of those abortions involved young victims of rape.
If the case against Tiller went forward and he was convicted, Tillers late-term abortion facility (the largest out-patient abortion clinic in the United States, and the only clinic in Wichita) could be shut down. As part of our weekend in Wichita, the Survivors demonstrated outside D.A. Foulstons office, spoke at press conferences, and joined in prayer vigils and rallies. Please join us in continued prayer that justice will be brought to Wichita, and George Tillers place of death will be shut down for good!
A highlight of the visit to Wichita was the formal dedication of a former abortion clinic as the new offices of Operation Rescue. The Survivors purchased the building when the opportunity arose, and the Central Womens Services abortion clinic was promptly closed. Operation Rescue is now going to renovate the building (where an estimated 50,000 babies died through abortion) for their headquarters, and as a memorial to the children who died. Praise God!

Survivors is a Christian, pro-life activism organization dedicated to educating and activating high school and college age individuals. If you were born after 1973, you are a Survivor. Over 45,000,000 of our generation have been killed since the decriminalization of abortion by Roe v. Wade… and thousands of innocent babies are scheduled to die tomorrow in America. The Survivors believe this generation is called to stand up, speak up, and be a powerful voice for the voiceless.
Resist apathy – join the Survivors.
