In Memphis, seventeen pro-life activists were arrested while participating in a peaceful protest at a Planned Parenthood facility.  

The group, connected to Rescue Resurrection, stood at the facility entrance to advocate for unborn children. Among those arrested were several well-known leaders in the movement, who called their actions an act of conscience and civil disobedience. 

Organizers said the arrests were “a small price to pay” for standing up for life. They also announced this is only the beginning, with a national protest planned at the FDA next year.  

While somewhat controversial, their stand for life should remind all of us what is at stake. The unborn deserve our best efforts. Lives hang in the balance. Will you be a voice for the voiceless and protect our nation’s most vulnerable?
