What actually happened was that Judge Judith Brawka allowed Planned Parenthood's Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP) motion against us, thus dismissing the charges in our previous complaint.

However, she allowed us to file four new charges based on evidence our attorneys uncovered in the discovery process.

For all the back story on this case, Eric Scheidler's blog post from before the last hearing will get you up to speed. [Continue reading . . . »]

Yesterday, I read the following article on the National Review web site. I thought it was good, and I discovered that our very own Aurora Beacon news actually printed the story too. Thanks, Beacon News! Perhaps keeping my subscription is worthwhile?

Today's "Here for Life" Rally had a huge turnout, despite the cold, overcast weather and threats of rain. People gathered from all walks of life to support the gift of life outside the largest abortion mill in the U.S. What a dichotomy. On one hand, you have a group of people offering FREE help and a real "choice" to women in need, and on the other, you have the "quick and easy", unhappy, unhealthy non-solution for $ALE at PP.

The Archdiocese of Chicago (currently running the Chicago 40-Days For Life Prayer Vigil) invited Youth For Truth to hold a Pro-Life Youth Rally in Chicago.

LaSalle Street—corner of LaSalle and Division) where we will kick off our rally with prayer. From there we will march from the Planned Parenthood to St. Joseph’s Church (located at 1107 N. Orleans Street, Chicago) where our rally will continue with a band, to lead us in music, and great speakers!

Stand up for life! Be a voice and a witness for the silenced! All youth, Jr. High through College invited! Bring Friends!Wear your pro-Life apparel! All who cannot join us: Please keep us in your prayers!

Parking: You are welcome to park at Holy Name Cathedral (located at 735 N. State Street, Chicago). However you will be walking a distance to the Planned Parenthood from there. If possible, you may want to find a nearby parking spot on the street.

Yesterday's "Youth for Truth" Rally out at the Planned Parenthood site was a spectacular success. All 500 T-shirts were given away, and many teen will have to wait until the next Youth for Truth event to get theirs.

Hundreds of parents, grandparents and younger siblings came out to support the teens. It was a great day. (Click the image above for a larger version.) [Continue reading . . . »]

On Saturday, Sept. 1st, local area teens organized an incredible show of support for LIFE. The teen rally drew hundreds of teens from around the area and showed us adults that they have what it takes to take a stand for LIFE, for what is most important. I was impressed with their energy, enthusiasm and their zeal for the cause. When I saw their faces, I could tell that they were motivated by a knowledge that they too might have had a similar fate if their mothers exercised their (selfish) "right to choose". But thanks be to God, that their mothers made the loving choice, to die to their own selfs, and give birth to such a great generation of teens.
