Local annual demonstrations took place at the Josephine General Hospital when it was discovered that they were performing abortions at that site. Protests were also held at Planned Parenthood of Grants Pass. These public events started the year following the Roe v. Wade decision - with Jan. 1974 being the first year that some kind of public demonstration and memorialization of Roe V. Wade took place in Southern Oregon. That annual event held every January has continued since 1974. The March for Life event is the oldest Pro-Life demonstration in Oregon - and it is historically the largest as well. In fact, it is one of the largest marches on the West Coast. It is thought that the March first started in Jan. 1979 making this year's event the 40th annual March. Unplanned - A movie on the life of Abby Johnson
THE STORYUnplanned is the inspiring true story of one woman’s journey of transformation.
All Abby Johnson ever wanted to do was help women. As one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors in the nation, she was involved in upwards of 22,000 abortions and counseled countless women about their reproductive choices. Her passion surrounding a woman’s right to choose even led her to become a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, fighting to enact legislation for the cause she so deeply believed in. Until the day she saw something that changed everything, leading Abby Johnson to join her former enemies at 40 Days For Life, and become one of the most ardent pro-life speakers in America.

Introducing our new Pro-Life TV spot!
Pro-Lifers: One of the challenges pro-lifers have is to convey the message of the value of human life in contrast to the many, many other distractions that people hold sacred in their lives. Prime examples would be the environment, environmentalism and the animal rights movement. With the legalization of abortion, the value of human life has been legally diminished to such an extent that our society has placed non-humanity in a glorified place, above that which was created in God's image.
In an effort to bring this imbalance into perspective, Jackson County Right to Life created the attached :30 commercial. Our goal was to make a sudden and obvious contrast between what our society now seems to hold at great value as compared to what our Creator considers of the highest value. Our chapter desires that this spot be exposed to our culture in every possible venue, so we encourage you all to view the spot and then post it to your social media outlets for a larger viewership. We pray that it's thought provoking message will force people to reconsider where their values lay. May God bless this effort to uphold LIFE as His sacred work. This spot is available to any other right to life organization, free of any charge, without the localized tag at the end, simply reply to this email and we will send you the un-tagged spot. The Success of Planned Parenthood
Friends: Here are 2 links to Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon - the PAC which works to pass/oppose legislation and advocates for PP.... This is a chronology of their success in Oregon and what comes next....our next chapter meeting is Monday the 14th, 7 pm, at First Baptist, Medford
