If you are looking to be inspired, encouraged, for heroes in this crazy world, look to the martyrs & saints. They lived & died for Christ. They loved passionately. They stood up for the truth when it cost the most. They’ve changed my life forever.
Some of my favorites (many have written books, 100% worth the read): St John of the Cross, St Theresa of Avila, St Therese, St Thomas Aquinas, St Joan, St Anselm, St Paul, St Peter, St Theresa of Calcutta, St JoseMaria, St John Paul II, St Maximilian Kolbe, St Teresa Benedicta
For anyone curious on how saints are recognized by the Catholic Church, here’s a nice primer. We are all called to be saints, and everyone already in Heaven is a saint: focusoncampus.org/content/how-do…

Life wins when there are enough resources to ensure voters know the truth and when we have political leadership that boldly leads. We saw this in Florida, South Dakota, and Nebraska, where we had the resources and leadership to win.
In the seven states, we lost. The pro-life side was outspent by tens of millions and lacked effective in-state leadership. We must face these realities and fix them.
Here is a breakdown of the pro-abortion agenda growing across the states and how we can fight back 🧵
Arizona previously had protections for preborn children after 15 weeks.
The state has now codified a "right" to intentionally kill preborn children up to so-called "viability." This arbitrary pregnancy marker is usually set around 24 weeks - even though children born as early as 21 weeks have survived.
However, vague language in this constitutional amendment will allow for abortions up to birth for essentially any reason.
Colorado was already one of the most pro-abortion states in the country, allowing elective abortions through all nine months. Now the killing of preborn children is a constitutionally protected "right."
Even pro-life Coloradans will be forced to fund barbaric late-term abortions as the few protections against taxpayer-funded abortions have been stripped.
The lives of innocent children are on the line this November as voters will directly weigh in on protecting children from death by the abortion industry.
Every pro-life American MUST VOTE in November to defeat these horrific pro-abortion initiatives.
The abortion lobby wants to eliminate protections for preborn children while enshrining a “right” to abortion in their state constitutions.
In states such as Florida, Missouri, South Dakota, Nebraska and Arizona voting in November is CRUCIAL to defend life-saving laws.
Florida
Amendment 4 proposes to codify an unrestricted “right” to abortion into the state’s constitution. If ratified, this amendment would:
Allow abortion up to birth for any reason
Render every pro-life protection - including the Florida heartbeat law along with health & safety laws - unconstitutional
Remove parental consent laws for minors
Allow non-physicians to commit abortions
Force the state to pay for abortions with taxpayer dollars
How To Vote: NO
Missouri
Amendment 3 also seeks to make abortion a “right” within the state’s constitution. It would strike down the state’s law protecting nearly all preborn children from abortion and allow for abortion for any reason through the point of ‘viability.’
It would also permit abortions past viability if it were considered necessary to protect the mother’s physical or mental health.
The amendment is intentionally broad and would allow abortion for any reason through pregnancy.
Cox has decided to kill her 21-week-old daughter because the baby has Trisomy 18.
The TX Supreme Court has ruled against a district judge’s decision, so Cox is traveling out of state to abort her child.
According to court documents, Kate Cox was happy when she found out she was pregnant.
Until her daughter tested positive for Trisomy 18 — a genetic condition that causes physical growth delays during fetal development.
Kate filed a lawsuit through @ReproRights to bypass Texas' protections for preborn children, including those w/ disabilities.
The suit claims a D&E "abortion is the safest option for her health & her best medical option given that she wants to have more children in the future"
Planned Parenthood believes children, “NO MATTER WHAT AGE,” are “entitled to sexual pleasure”
This ideology is about to be forced into the education systems of 79 African, Caribbean and Pacific nations - impacting over 2 billion people - under international law.
The Samoa Treaty is a trade agreement between the EU and African, Caribbean, and Pacific nations that creates a legal framework the nations must abide by for the next 20 years.
If signed, each nation will be required to adopt abortion and sexual ideology into their laws.
The treaty requires nations to provide "sexual and reproductive health commodities and services."
This involves implementing programs recommended by UNESCO's International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education.
Including materials created by Planned Parenthood.
Hours before the UK government planned to remove an 8-month-old baby from her ventilator, the Vatican's pediatric hospital offered treatment at no cost.
Baby Indi’s parents are desperate to accept their offer, but the UK is refusing, insisting Indi must be “allowed to die.”
Indi Gregory has a mitochondrial disease that prevents her cells from producing energy.
Children have survived for years with this condition.
Indi requires breathing support from a ventilator, but despite her condition, her parents say she is happy & responds to their touch.
However, the British government says it is in Indi's "best interests" to die, despite her parents' appeals and available life-saving medical treatments.
They are refusing to allow Indi to be moved to another hospital, & insisting she must be “allowed to die.”
2,500 babies are killed by abortion every day in the United States.
What happens to their bodies?

Renee Chelian, owner of Michigan Northland Family Planning, joked at the 2014 National Abortion Federation conference that if it weren’t for the “PR nightmare,” it would be a “great idea” to burn the bodies of aborted babies for energy.
Later she remarked, "I had 5 months worth of fetal tissue in my freezers. We were renting freezers to put them in... I was ready to drive to upper Michigan and have a bonfire."
