Reports on "Balloons for Life"
On Saturday, April 26, 2008, hundreds of pink and blue balloons were released as part of Fox Valley Families Against Planned Parenthood's "It's a matter of LIFE & DEATH" pro-life rally. Each balloon represented a baby boy or girl saved from abortion through pro-life ministry.
Each "Balloon for Life" was tagged with a label, giving a baby name picked out by a rally participant and explaining the project. The finder of the balloon was invited to log in and report where it was found. Here are the reports we've received:

Additional Comments: I was at the pro-life rally the day the balloons were released. I saw a ribbon stuck in some shrubs but didn't think much of it until I went out to cut the grass today and discovered the message attached. I feel that God is letting me know he sees my efforts. God Bless all of us.
