The Survivors are leaving New Hampshire today after a whirlwind trip. In spite of serious flight delays and lack of sleep, the Survivors jumped into the fray on Saturday, and kept going through Tuesday.
Initial Press Release – January 5:
Groups Announce Major Pro-life Witness at the New Hampshire Presidential Primary in January
While our general purpose for the trip was to expose the abortion lie and challenge the pro-abortion positions of presidential candidates, we were given amazing opportunities to specifically reach out to Senator Barack Obama.
On Sunday morning, we showed the truth of abortion to Obama at a campaign stop.
On Monday evening, the Survivors and Rev. Pat Mahoney were a powerful witness and voice for the preborn at Senator Obama’s Rochester rally. Our chant of “Abortion is an Obamanation” has been heard around the world – the rally was broadcast live on CSPAN, and news outlets such as CNN and MSNBC reported on our protest.
Senator Obama directly responded to us from the stage, and we are currently working to follow up on his offer to talk with us. Please keep the Survivors in your prayers as we hope to use this opportunity to represent the plight of the preborn to Senator Obama – who holds a radical pro-choice position (he even opposed the Illinois state version of the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act).
Check out our press releases, YouTube videos of the rally, and numerous articles!

«Survivors to Mark Roe v. Wade Throughout the U.S.|| Engaging the Culture in New Hampshire»
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.
