Every day in a country that was founded on the ideal that "all men are created equal" and that they are given certain rights: "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"1, Americans are murdered. These Americans don't have the ability to run or to fight back because they have not yet been born. Seven men decided that a woman's "right to privacy"2 overrode the child's right to not "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"3.

Since the judiciary of this country has failed these children, crisis pregnancy centers exist to help women who find themselves pregnant to help them to chose to protect the innocent life growing in their wombs. In Tallahassee, A Women's Pregnancy Center is such a center, and it is conveniently located near the campus of FSU and FAMU, where much peer pressure exists for men and women to engage in sex outside of marriage.

On Saturday, March 7, 2009, my wife and I will be participating in "Walk for Life", which supports A Women's Pregnancy Center. We want this resource to continue to exist in the Tallahassee community, and we want them to be able to continue to counsel women to choose life.

If you wish to partner with us, please contact me.
