Dear fellow pro-life supporters,
I invite you to join in a protest of the Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi (PPTNM) Standing Strong fundraiser, which will be held on Thursday, September 12, at the Hilton Memphis, 939 Ridge Lake Blvd, Memphis, TN 38120. [link to map]
We’ll gather to assert our constitutional right to peacefully assemble and express our opposition to Planned Parenthood from 5:45pm to 7pm, standing on both sides of the hotel driveway marked by the green Hilton Sign.
I’ll have the following signs available: 20ea “Defund Planned Parenthood,” 10 ea “Planned Parenthood harvests baby parts,” and 10ea “Stop abortion now.” Please feel free to bring your own signs; however, keep in mind that this is a family event.
Parking is available at the Malco Ridgeway lot, or at either 965 or 889 Ridge Lake Blvd. Note that Ridgeway Center Pkwy becomes Ridge Lake Blvd after the Malco theatre.
Pro-life supporters cannot remain silent least we become complicit in Planned Parenthood’s immoral, inhumane, and unnecessary killing of pre-born babies. Neither can we remain silent when, instead of compassionate care and support, mothers of pre-born babies undergo a procedure that exposes them to physical, psychological and spiritual harm and, in the instance of a botched abortion, even death.
For additional information, please contact me at kentpruett@bellsouth.net. or phone 901-692-3424.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is essential to our work…
Memphis Coalition for Life is a Christian organization which means that we believe that the Gospel of Christ is absolutely essential when working towards changing a culture. This is why we partner with other organizations that proudly and boldly share the Good News of Jesus Christ with the women we are able to refer to their centers.
Clinic escorts are outside the abortion clinic on a daily basis. Their entire job is to keep women from talking to us. Because of this job, however, they watch us interact with women every day. We are always careful to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of followers of Christ so that we can be a testimony to them and a light in the dark place of the abortion clinic. We apparently have made good impressions on a few because they have labeled us “not that bad.” This is high praise from a clinic escort.
Well, a few days ago one of our volunteers was able to share the Gospel with one of these escorts. This is a huge answer to prayer, and we are praying for her salvation!
Please join us in committing “L” to God.
To hear more about how God is moving on the sidewalk outside of abortion clinics in Memphis, join us for our 2nd Annual Fundraising Banquet on
September 13th at 7pm at St. Louis Catholic Church
with keynote speaker Alveda King!
Please RSVP by calling or texting (662) 426-6161.

A Pro-Life Exhibit at the Delta Fair, featuring fetal models showing human development and providing pro-life literature at no cost for the hundreds of fair goers drawn to our booth.
Our only means of financial support comes from pro-life supporters like you. And, since we are an all-volunteer organization, you can be assured that your contribution only funds our pro-life projects.
Again, whatever dollar amount you can give is needed. To give a donation by check, please print out and complete this form.
