Youth Activated: Meet Hannah Newman Mariotti

On Thursday, June 20, Survivors 16th Annual Prolife Training Camp caravanned up to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, CA, where the administration has just reversed policy and banned abortions at their facilities. 

Well, obviously, you might say: hospitals save lives, right? 

That's the common sense answer. But the truth is, most hospitals in the United States will perform the procedure that brutally dismembers a small human being in his or her mother's womb. 

Now Hoag does save lives.

But on Thursday, a contact reached out to Camp with a flyer describing a pro-abortion protest of this courageous move by Hoag -- to take place at 5:00pm on the corner. 

Survivors disgorged a fiery, excited passal of young people ages 13 to 30 . . . and Hannah Newman, first-time camper, was one of them. And Hannah Newman was one of nearly 70 young women  there to support Hoag -- because abortion demeans, denigrates, and dehumanises women.

The moment you accept abortion, you take the stance that women are less-than, that women should kill their children to prove their equality with men, that women should risk their health so that men can use them without the responsibility of caring for a child. 

Hannah is the generation that will abolish abortion. 

Hannah took the tools given her in three days of intense training at Camp, and activated a street.  Want to hear the noise the crown made in support of saving  lives?  Want to hear the voice this brave young woman gave to the voiceless preborn? 

(Want to know the age gap between the Survivors and the pro-aborts?  Average Survivor was 17. Average pro-abort was pushing 70.) 

Listen.  This is the voice that will shout down Roe v. Wade.  It is young.  It is loud.

Listen -- We're ProLife, and We're Gonna Shout It!

And it survived for a moment such as this. 

Thank you Hoag. And world? Meet Hannah.

Sidewalk Counseling: clinics that don’t have victims, don’t stay in business

Sidewalk counseling is the frontline of defending life: we meet women, and their preborn sons and daughters, at the brink of death.

Survivors campers took a crash-course in this last line of intervention to save lives. Veteran sidewalk counselor Geri Urrutia of Shield of Roses gave these young Survivors of Camp 2013 29+ years of experience, and the tools she uses to give women hope, and shut down the killing.

Because women who are actually given the option of life and hope at the door, don’t enter that door to death.

And clinics that don’t have victims, don’t stay in business. This is one small but inexpressibly important strategy in abolishing abortion, one life at a time.

Check out Geri’s post-session interview, and think about committing to sidewalk counseling this year with our campers!

Take home these prolife capsule-sized tips so that when you hit the pavement to stand between the babies, and death, you'll have the kit to change hearts, give hope -- and give a true  option to these mothers: life.  

• Commit to once a month in front of a clinic: make it and KEEP IT
• Don't worry about feelings: you won't always feel like being there--be there anyway 
• Have literature
• Give the mothers something tangible: your phone number, a rose, literature
• Remember: your presence send the message that she  has worth, and her baby has worth
• Make that commitment to be there and keep it 

Youth Activated: Light is On to Abolish Abortion

Do you know what it takes to form a new generation of effective abortion abolitionists? 

Join us daily on Facebook and the blog: This #SurvivorsProLifeTrainingCamp, we're following two or three of our campers on their journey through training and activism to leadership.

Some have come for a second time. 

Some are here for their very first time. 

Some came because they already have a commitment to protecting the preborn -- some because they're curious -- some because they're families have been involved in prolife work for a generation.

By the end of Camp, they are not just interested; not just committed; not just campers -- they are effective, intense, active leaders with the tools to end legalised child-killing in the United States. 

Follow them on their journey through the blog and Facebook -- because they'll be telling you in their words, in real time, how Camp gives them the resource to fight this battle in videos and blogs!

The Empty Space After "The Right To Choose": #TheyFeelPain

by C.J. Williams, Social Media Coordinator

Today, Congress votes on R. 1797, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Act. This bill is not revolutionary. This bill might even be called weak-kneed as far as the pro-life, abortion-abolition purpose -- it only bans abortions after 20 weeks  because these 20 week old babies demonstrably feel excruciating pain during an abortion, in which they are murdered, torn apart, with no anasthesia.

 [ See the evidence and testimony presented to Congress during hearings by Dr. Anthony Levatino concerning preborn pain capability ]

This, however, is what the Obama Administration has to say about this bill: it is an assault on women’s rights and the Constitution.

I’m here at ProLife Camp, and turning to one of the other Survivors staff members, I said, “I can’t blog on this. This is a statement you meet with silence it’s so bloody beheaded from reality.”

So that is what I want to leave you with for a moment. There’s a bill on the floor to ban the killing of small children who measurably feel agony. The administration says this is an assault on the Constitution.

Here’s the statement from the White House. It suggests vetoing the bill.  Read it. Then re-read it with the nonsense clarified. I've filled in the empty spaces.

________________________________

STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY H. R. 1797 – Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act

(Rep. Franks, R-AZ, and 184 cosponsors)

"The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 1797, which would unacceptably restrict women's health and reproductive rights and is an assault on a woman's right to choose. Women should be able to make their own choices about their bodies and their health care, and Government should not inject itself into decisions best made between a woman and her doctor.

"Forty years ago, the Supreme Court affirmed a woman's constitutional right to privacy, including the right to choose. This bill is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and shows contempt for women's health and rights, the role doctors play in their patients' health care decisions, and the Constitution. The Administration is continuing its efforts to reduce unintended pregnancies, expand access to contraception, support maternal and child health, and minimize the need for abortion. At the same time, the Administration is committed to the protection of women's health and reproductive freedom and to supporting women and families in the choices they make.

"If the President were presented with this legislation, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto this bill.

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503

STATEMENT OF  INEXCUSABALE ADMINISTRATION POLICY H. R. 1797 – Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act

(Rep. Franks, R-AZ, and 184 cosponsors)

"The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 1797, which would unacceptably restrict women's health by denying her the legal right to have a doctor stick sharp instruments into her womb and tear her child into tiny bloody pieces;  and reproductive rights and is an assault on a woman's right to choose to let a doctor murder her baby and butcher her. [Gosnell, anyone?]. Women should be able to make their own choices about their bodies (meaning, mostly their babies’ bodies), which they ought to have the choice to burn, break, and kill and call it and their health care, and Government should not inject itself into decisions to kill another human being totally dependent  best made between a woman and her doctor.

"Forty years ago, the Supreme Court affirmed a woman's constitutional right to privacy, including the right to choose to kill her baby. This bill is a direct challenge to legalised child-killing, Roe v. Wade and shows contempt for law-enshrined abuse and infanticide, women's health(?) and rights(?), the role doctors play in their patients' health care decisions, and the Constitution which is like, totally full of references to how the strong should abuse the weak; and killing babies. The Administration is continuing its efforts to reduce unintended pregnancies by promoting practises that encourage unintended pregnancies, ignorance, and disease, including  expand access to contraception, and calls this support [of] maternal and child health, because obviously dead children aren’t unhealthy, duh; and minimize the need for abortion just like you minimise a crackhead’s need for heroin by giving him dirty needles and easy accessto a dealer.

"At the same time, the Administration is committed to the protection of women's health and reproductive freedom and to supporting women and families in the choices they make to risk their own mental and physical health, and kill the smallest members of their families.

"If the President were presented with this legislation to outlaw killing preborn children who have been proved to feel excruciating pain during abortion, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto this bill. Because that would be supporting women’s and children’s health."

Abuse always thrives in the dark, behind lies. Sometimes, lies are simply silences -- we are teaching the youth to expose those lies and fill in the empty spaces -- the empty space after right to choose. The empty space after right to privacy. The empty spaces behind child health, maternal health, abortion.

Abortion of what? Abortion, termination, of an innocent life. Right to choose what? Murder. Child’s health? For the “wanted” child, the “born” child, the ⅔, not the ⅓ ripped apart by laws that are based on the lies of empty spaces.

Fill in the spaces, and speak the truth: Abortion kills one -- a baby -- and irrevocably scars ano ther -- the woman.

This isn’t woman’s health. Obama is threatening to veto a biill that will protect children and women, and he’s throwing them under the bus in the name of their health and rights.

Our campers will be tweeting #TheyFeelPain, and calling their congressman. They will be learning how to use blogs and social media to fill in those empty spaces  in the Obama Admin's unforgivable threat to women and  children in opposition to the Fetal Pain Bill. They will be speaking the truth.  

Will you join them?

Abortion Abolished: By YOU

By C.J. Williams, Social Media Coordinator​

​The camp to end all camps . . .that’s how I  wish I could start this, because there’s nothing in the world I want more than to say, abortion is abolished, illegal, finished. And without abortion, we wouldn’t need camp!

But let me start another way.

Let me start like this:  I want to say how proud I am of last year’s campers.  You all became serious abolitionists, constantly surprising and pleasing me during the year with your own kick-butt projects to defend the preborn.  You took the tools we gave you, and not only put them to use, you took the tools we gave you, and not only put them to use, you started tinkering with them, improving or adding to them, to make them even more effective in our battle for life.

I know I’ll see your faces again this year – and you know what?

I  want to see you and five friends. I want to see an army. Because it would be brilliant if this were the camp to end all camps, but do you know what? It may not be. In fact, it may be the second-to-last, or it could be the first of ten more.

What?  No, I’m not kidding.  But just because I never want to see your faces again -- in camp -- doesn’t mean I won’t. I plan on seeing you all here, every year, until finally legalised child-killing is abolished in the United States for good.   The only place I want to see your face after that is in a museum in the capital, with a little box under the photo saying this young person sacrificed their time and youth to end the most horrible holocaust the world has ever seen.

If this is your second or third time, I want you back – and back with the attitude that this is everything. Act like every move you make, every action could be the one that tips abortion off the deep-end for good.  Act like this is the camp to end all camps.

But get ready to make the marathon. The old dudes in the generation before us?  They planned on 5 years, easy -- 5 years and the end of abortion. That was 35 years ago. They planned on it, and when they didn’t get it, too many gave up, or backed off, discouraged. They planned on the prolife action to end all prolife action, and when it didn’t pan out, they petered out.

But we are not petering out. We are not giving in. We are the generation that will abolish abortion -- and if that’s tomorrow, BRILLIANT. And if it’s in 20 years? Still brilliant. I’ll be there ‘til it’s buried in history. I plan on seeing you at the funeral -- we can hold a special one when all the abortuaries are closed, and all the laws supporting preborn killing are struck off the books; and we can bury abortion for good.

​Pray like everything depends on God. Work like everything depends on you. St. Ignatius said that.

And if we keep that up, we won’t have to endure the killing of little ones long.

It's true, camp is fun. It's supposed to be. But our goal is to make camp unnecessary and put ourselves out of a job. My personal goal? To say sayonara to legalized child-killing!​

We are survivors of the abortion holocaust.  We are the generation that will abolish abortion – and we will do it now.  In every moment. With every action. Until it is done.   

The camp to end all camps? No. But I plan on seeing you there UNTIL IT IS THE CAMP THAT ENDS ABORTION. We are not petering out. We are not giving in. We are the generation that will abolish abortion!

We stand on the shoulders of the previous generation – and I got the tools from Jeff and Cheryl, and more – and you now get the tools from me, from Jeff and Cheryl, from Kristina.

Last year, I had to get up in the middle of the night to get girls off their phones after curfew, off and to bed – but guess what?  They weren’t calling their boyfriends.  They were booking all the abortion appointments within a 50 mile radius so that women couldn’t get in to kill their kids.

Yes, they were technically making trouble and breaking curfew.  But as our Director of Campus Outreach says, it’s time to make all kinds of trouble for the Culture of Death.

So I’ll say it again:  This isn’t the camp to end all camps, but I want to see you act like it.

We are the youth who will end abortion – and not one of our children will ever have to survive a holocaust so horrible.  You are the ones who will leave here and be the abolitionists who make history.  And I do want to see your face on that museum wall. In fact, I plan on it.

So see you -- and all those friends -- at camp (How about at both camps?) After that?  Let’s plan on the museum, soon – .  I want camp until we kill the killing. I want camp until I put us all out of a job.  I want never to hear the word abortion again.  When it’s done, it’s done. 

See you at camp.  And let’s end this thing – abortion abolished. By you.

It's your turn to make history.​

Carpe Diem!

​Seize the day!  There are moments in life when all else must be put aside for a season.  Moments when Providence has set before you opportunity so great it becomes our duty to seize the day.

Today is such a day.  Many years from now someone may look back and read this blog and think me foolish for believing singular moments in history matter.  But still I believe it.

The Kermit Gosnell trial and conviction for murder of babies born alive presents an opportunity we must seize.  For the first time in the history of legalized abortion, outrage has spread across the consciousness of our country.

How could a man snip the neck of a baby, how could a women callously stab a baby to death? What possesses a man to cut off feet of aborted babies and preserve them in jars like some morbid collection?

​My own brother, a police officer and unbeliever, who lovingly refers to my prolife activism as “that sh** you do” was visibly shaken and angered by what he heard on the news.  Many from my very large extended family, who in the past would declare no common ground with me, suddenly found themselves sharing their disgust at the actions of Kermit Gosnell and his staff.

But Gosnell is not an isolated case!  This is why we must seize the day.  Today the majority of Americans agree that to murder these babies born alive is a heinous crime.  They think for now that Gosnell is an aberration, a lone monster, but he is not.

The procedure he uses results in a baby being born alive 13% of the time.  That means the original 8 counts of murder were just the tip of the iceberg for a man who has aborted thousands of babies.  And he is not alone.  

God has orchestrated this moment my friend, make no mistake about that!  God has used the faithful, the government, and law enforcement to crash the gates of the citadel of abortion.  We must rush through those smashed gates and rush headlong into battle.

Gosnell’s trial has brought forward new witnesses who either witnessed or partook in actions similar to Gosnell’s.  In Texas three informants, whether compelled by fear of future prosecution or by conviction of the evil nature of the late term procedures, recently came forward.

The three informants have come forward to tell of their horrific experiences working for abortionist Douglas Karpen, at Aaron Women’s Clinic in Houston.   As shocking as their stories of babies born alive and then murdered by getting their necks snipped are, these women did more than just talk; they brought forward evidence of illegal late-term abortions in the form of photos taken on their cell phones at the Karpen’s clinic.  The photos were scandalous.  They depicted two babies aborted well beyond the legal limit of 24 weeks in Texas.  Their necks had been cut.

Now the Governor of Texas is calling for an investigation!  The charge is on!  Abortion is being exposed for the murder it is.  Now is the time to set aside whatever plans you had for this summer and become an activist to join in the revolution of love for the life of your neighbor.  Today is the day!  What plans did you have to do this summer that are more important than running headlong into battle when God himself has smashed open the gates of hell?

Prepare for battle:  Sign up today for the Survivors Summer Training Camp, June 17-28, 2013.  Then set aside August 1st through the 10 abortionists Boyd and Sella!  We already have testimony of Sella stabbing to death a baby born alive!

Join us as we launch a citywide and statewide campaign to expose the evil practices of late term abortionists Boyd and Sella in Albuquerque!  Whatever you were going to do this summer – set it aside – because God has blown the trumpet, and we, the faithful, must respond and rescue those being dragged to the slaughter.  I pity those who miss this day.

Come!  Fight!  Seize the day – it is your turn to make history!
