Our generation faces a similar defining issue. Will you be remembered as those who stood up or vegged out?

Conclusion & Full Abolition of Abortion PDF

Download the PDF If all of these characters have one thing in common, it is devotion. We know little of true devotion today.

Minutemen (Abolition of Abortion)

Not everyone is called to advance the cause of the unborn full time. Nor does everyone need to. One of the things that most helped the war for independence was the host of part time volunteers called minutemen. These men were ready at a moments notice to show up where they were needed.
