Billings March For Life Planned — 1:30, Sunday, Jan. 20, 2013

With passive protest we will lament the 40th anniversary of the infamous "Roe v. Wade" decision, which legalized

abortion on demand in the United States. The Billings March will be led by Bishop Warfel, and will start 1:30 p.m. at St.

Patrick Co-Cathedral (215 N. 31st St.. It will proceed to the lawn of the Yellowstone County Courthouse where nationally

acclaimed speaker Sally Winn, Vice President of Feminists for Life, will address the participants.

Afterwards there will be cookies, coffee, and fellowship. Rowe vs Wade, legalized abortion on demand in the United States

since then it has led to the deaths of more than 50 million pre-born children. Info? : Amy at 962-3260 or 855-3737.

Amy Seymour (President, Yellowstone Valley Christians for Life)

ABORTION NUMBERS PLUMMET—until the Affordable Care Act steps in!

“Polls are showing Americans (especially those under 35) are more pro-life than ever,

even though Planned Parenthood so desperately clings to the falsity that America is a totally

“pro-choice” nation. Half of their billion-dollar revenue is now granted to them via taxpayer

dollars, Planned Parenthood saw an $85,000,000 decline in private donations between 2009 and

2010. At this point last year the abortion giant had been defunded by nine states. Funding was

finally being stripped from Planned Parenthood until the Affordable Care Act. Now we need to

act more than ever. Planned Parenthood will receive the lions share of the 100 billion dollars paid

in by the states for this new tax. They will continue to do what they do with more & more of our tax dollars. Former Planned Parenthood

employees like Patti Giebink—Ex-Planned Parenthood abortion doctor, Abby Johnson - former Planned Parenthood clinic director, &

Catherine Adair, -former clinic worker, have spoken up and are ready and willing to testify against Planned Parenthood again and again until

we see an end to this travesty. These brave souls and others are exposing the injustices perpetuated by the abortion industry. Join us today!

Start to believe that this is not a political issue but a moral issue!
