Message From Our Director - Dawn Marie Pérez
God’s miracles have been evident this past year. Court decisions and heartbeat bills, social media influencers, and a new generation of young people standing up for life! God has miraculously placed StandUpGirl.com at the forefront of the life-affirming movement with a message of Love. Lives are being changed around the world and people are hearing our message that “Love is an action, and LOVE does change everything!!” And of course, the most important miracle of them all – the countless lives saved for eternity!
In Psalms 105:4-5, it states, “Keep your eyes open for God, watch for his works; be alert for signs of his presence. Remember the world of wonders He has made, His miracles, and the verdicts He’s rendered…”
During January, named “Sanctity of Life Month”, you have the opportunity to help women with unplanned pregnancies get connected to a support team in their local neighborhood. Because “Love” is an action, you and your church can play a powerful role in saving lives by being the hands and feet of Jesus for women that need a place to belong within a spiritual family – not only through their pregnancy but their whole life!
Fueled by God’s unending love for us, we have been reaching women for over 22 years with a “Love” approach. You can be a part of this outreach by involving your church and its members this month. We are building a community of believers ready to act because truly, “Every life is Worth living…wonderfully made.” There are close to 300,000 churches in the United States, and every young woman with an unplanned pregnancy should have a support group in their community to run to. You can make this happen!
The StandUpGirl.com Foundation is offering Sanctity of Life Materials, FREE to you and your community. Consider having these at your church information table, use the bulletin insert or other materials to equip your congregation with life affirming resources to reach those in crisis. When you equip your community, you are allowing these women to become part of a spiritual family and find a place where they belong, in the arms of a loving Heavenly Father. You get to speak life into someone who just found out she is pregnant! It’s time we all take action, for the right cause – sharing the gospel and walking alongside them as they journey into motherhood.
Join us as we equip the church and show the world what LOVE can do! Please give us a call at 503-554-5683 or e-mail dmperez@standupgirl.com for more information.
We look forward to sharing our vision with you!
For Life,
Sanctity of Life

Special Message from Frank Pavone, Priests for Life
This coming Sunday, January 22, is National Sanctity of Human Life Day. This is a day for everyone, especially the clergy and churches to raise their voice against abortion. Even though Roe has been overturned, we still have a lot of work to do to bring an end to abortion.
Priests for Life and other groups will hold a special event on that day in front of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC. We will pray and remember the babies killed and the moms, dads and others damaged by abortion. If you will be in DC on Sunday, join us from 10 a.m. to 12 noon for this very special event.
Priests for Life has many resources to equip pastors and clergy to deal with the tragedy of abortion and we have been providing these resources since 1991.
We encourage you to bring the resources below to the attention of your pastors or pastoral ministers.
Our special website, Prolife.Church, equips churches to deal with the abortion issue. It contains links to prolife prayers (ProLifePrayers.com) and to resources for preaching on abortion (PreachingOnAbortion.com). It lists pro-life activities that you can implement in your parish after speaking to your pastor.
Bringing together the strategic work of Priests for Life and the various groups with which we have collaborated over the years, we provide for you 10StepsToEndAbortion.com
which provides 10 simple yet effective activities to help end abortion.

Please share these photos far and wide, especially if you know someone considering an abortion. They save lives!
Promoting alternatives to abortion can be as simple as putting a phone number for local pregnancy center resources (or the national number 800-712-HELP and website PregnancyCenters.org) on your parish bulletin or website. There is also a chat box where someone can get real-time information from a support agent.

We encourage you to share these testimonies widely in any way possible!
