When has the topic of abortion ever
been talked about more than it was
this Monday and Tuesday?


Our group does countless projects to help save lives, yet I would have to say this single event has been the most powerful at bringing the tragedy of abortion to the forefront of students’ minds.  The Great Pink Elephant that NOBODY wants to look at was UNVEILED!


Did everyone have a perfect transformation?  No. I don’t think that is realistic considering many students have been taught a lie for a long time, and recovery to the truth takes some time.  What was crucial was that students were faced with the truth, clear and easy to see.  They saw the picture of the victims of abortion.  The truth about abortion’s violence is hard to ignore when the bloody reality of it is silently displayed for all to see.  I would say that those who did not admit to a full change of heart will have a hard time feeling confident in their pro-abortion stance from here on because they will forever remember what that action looks like in reality.  I repeat my sidewalk chalk message:  If abortion is okay, why are we afraid to look at it?

Not only did this event force everyone on campus to confront the reality of abortion, but it enabled us to distribute information about the Alpha Center to countless students and even brought quite a few new members into our group!  People repeatedly remarked at how peaceful, conversation-inspiring, and honest this event was.  This was our goal in supporting the event. This is Genocide Awareness Project’s goal in every event they do.  We thank them for providing this event to us FREE OF CHARGE. Many of their volunteers traveled all the way from Canada to help put this on.

Thank you everyone who attended the event, all who helped man our Alpha Center and Students for Life tables, and all who took the opportunity to practice pro-life apologetics at the event.  Most of all, thank you GAP event members, you are truly changing hearts and minds!

Pro-Life Ambassador Training: Knowledge session

This Wednesday, UWF Students for Life had our first

Pro-life Ambassador Training event!

It served to create a foundation for our understanding of abortion.   To be clear, Aaron presented a expansive history of abortion; what people believed about unborn children and what laws were in place.  We learned that science asserts that human life begins at conception, and with all further advancements, science continues to reassert this truth.   Also, statistical information from the CDC provided the various reasons why women aborted.  Lastly, we were informed on the various abortion procedures employed for younger to older unborn persons.

All this information has set the stage for us to fully grasp the topic of abortion in our country and time. This has prepared us for this upcoming week’s presentation on “Wisdom & Character.” (Wed,6PM,Bldg 11/Rm 223)

  • Wisdom: Knowing the facts, having extensive knowledge on a topic, having expertise.
  • Character: Employing an artful method, having an attractive manner.

For those who could not attend the first Pro-Life Ambassador event, we recorded it and will have it available online soon along with notes!  This can all be used whenever someone asks you about why you are against abortion. You can then show that you have looked deeper than the pro-abortion sing-songy slogans and studied the issue thoroughly.

Trust me. I have encountered many “pro-choicers” (as they say) who do NOT expect to hear sound logic when they speak to a pro-lifer. Prove ‘em wrong.  Remember, your beliefs are founded by irrefutable scientific facts and true logic.  If they don’t let you get a word in, it’s because they are afraid of the truth you hold.  Be kind, be friendly, and speak the truth :)

Tonight was great!  The movie was awesome, we got to meet some really nice people who came, and we got to learn about all the resources and free help available through the Alpha center!  Thank you everyone for your interest and your help!


Today, we are having our first-ever Pro-Life Ambassador training!

Where: Bldg 11, Rm 223

When: 6PM, Wednesdays beginning April 7th (today)

Why come to this event: For us to be able to make any imprint in the world so that all human persons are respected and protected, we have got to be active.  One part of being an active pro-lifer is “talking the talk.”  You may instinctively know that it is just plain wrong to kill and innocent human being- even if it is a young person growing in the womb – but when you are on the university campus, in the business world, talking to politicians, or just explaining it to someone of a different mindset-you will do much better if you can explain the truth about the dignity of human life Clearly, Concisely, and Kindly.
