Our mission: "To train, equip, and support local communities across the United States and the world in 'sidewalk advocacy': to be the hands and feet of Christ, offering loving, life-affirming alternatives to all present at the abortion center, thereby eliminating demand and ending abortion.

On Going: Protest at Providence Park Hospital every Tuesday! Hope to see you this Tuesday, July 22nd at Providence Park Hospital from 4:30 to 6 pm on the corner of Beck & Grand River Roads. Please DO NOT park at Providence. You can park at the Kroger grocery nearby and walk over to the intersection. This is an on-going and important initiative to draw attention to the horrible FACT that this Catholic Hospital has a number of abortionists on staff (they do the abortions elsewhere) including Glenn Taylor who is no less than the "medical director" of Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Ann Arbor. The ultimate goal is to urge St. John's to remove these killers of the innocent unborn from the staff--and to end the scandal of Catholic hospitals harboring abortionists all in contradiction to the very essence of Catholic health care!  For info contact Lynn Mills at lynnspl81@aol.com.
