October Chapter Meeting & Election of Officers
October 24, 2019
Germantown Public Library
7 PM
The election of chapter officers for President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer will be on the agenda. Also, we’ll begin planning our annual Stand for Life Rally to be held in January of 2020.
Through the power of your prayers, we’ve now seen:
- 191 abortion workers quit their jobs and become pro-life
- 104 abortion facilities close their doors and go out of business…FOREVER
- 16,004 children spared from abortion
We could see the 200th abortion worker leave her job and become pro-life this fall. Will it be in your city?
Sign up to pray at the 40 Days for Life vigil closest to you and find out!

To all who participated in our protest of Planned Parenthood’s fundraiser,
Thank you so much for joining in the peaceful protest of Planned Parenthood’s fundraiser held at the Hilton Memphis on Thursday, September 12.
Planned Parenthood’s supporters viewed the following messages, which were on the hand-held signs of our protesters, who lined both sides of the Hilton driveway: Stop Abortion Now; Planned Parenthood harvests baby parts; Why kill when you can love?; Planned Parenthood separates children from their parents; Defund Planned Parenthood; and Need baby parts? Buy ’em from Planned Parenthood.
The German Lutheran pastor, theologian, and anti-Nazi, Deitrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed by the Nazi’s just weeks before the fall of Berlin wrote: “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
Thanks again for participating in our protest, assuring that Mid-South pro-life supporters took advantage of the opportunity to publicly witness to our opposition to abortion at the Planned Parenthood fundraiser.
Sincerely,
Kent Pruett, President
Shelby County Right to Life

The memorial marks the 46th anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s infamous Roe vs. Wade decision of January 22, 1973.

Dear Shelby County Chapter supporter,
During this season of giving, I’m reaching out to our supporters to invite and encourage you to financially assist us in funding our 2019 educational projects.
Your contribution – whatever amount you can give – is needed and will support our pro-life projects:

An Oratory Contest open to high school students and held during the spring. The chapter winner gets to compete at the state level and possibly advance to the national level.
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.
