From TheUnChoice.com -- an evidence-based Elliot
Institute campaign to raise awareness about unwanted
abortions, post-abortion issues and maternal deaths,
plus help, hope and healing. ... The UnChoice. Unwanted.
Unsafe. Unfair.
.jpg) "Working
the Right to Life booth at the fair is always a
rewarding experience. Many people come to see us every
year with their own personal stories. We do not know
just how many people have been affected, but we do know
a number of people whose minds have been changed.
It may be that you are
just the one who is needed at the booth at one
particular time." --Pro-Life of Southern Colorado
Who says you can't make a difference and have fun, too?
 Give
tomorrow's generation something to look up to!
Volunteer at your local county or state
fair and save or change many lives today, while also
changing hearts, minds, souls and laws with new
evidence about abortion.
Or, simply pass along one or more of the
blue-ribbon resources below to your local pro-life group
to share at fairs and elsewhere.
There are many simple ways to use the
list of fair-ready pro-woman/pro-life materials below.
You can share a link or links. You can forward this
newsletter. You can print extra copies of selected
resources -- if your local pro-life booth organizers
agree -- for them to share at the fair.
Where else can you save a life, change
the culture and give new hope to so many while also
enjoying a snow-cone, cotton candy, funnel cakes or your
favorite fried snack-on-a-stick ... all in the same day?
You may even have time for a sky-high ride, a tall
slide, a tall lemonade, or an encounter with an
extremely tall man!
State and County Fairs Present
Exciting Opportunities
A fair is a great opportunity to reach new people, to
update existing advocates and activists, and to reach
out to still other women, men, teens and families and
their children who may be at risk, or those already
directly or indirectly affected by abortion. That's a
lot!
 The
Elliot Institute has distilled a quarter-century's work
about abortion's exploitation, risk and impact into
user-friendly pro-woman/pro-life resources. The UnChoice
materials and other evidence-based resources are ideal
for general audiences, such as those at the fair.
It will reach those who may be coerced into unwanted
abortions ... who are tolerant of abortion because they
think it's about "choice" rather than coercion ... or
who are already directly or indirectly hurt by abortion
as individuals, friends or family. Whatever option you
choose, you'll make serious inroads.
These materials are ready to share, but
it takes people like you to take them to the
people who will show up at a table, a booth or an event.
