Special Theme: Lots of Resources
We inform some and remind others
of some of our available resources:
For Supporters to Spread the Word
Peace and Life Referendums
This project website tracks U.S. state and local referendums dealing with socially-approved killing of human beings, or related structural violence that leads to killing.
Peace and Life Conversations
CL Kids!
The goal is to teach children and teens about the value of all human life, and about how all life issues are connected.
What we do:
Provide a list of educational resources
Develop new materials
Offer forums to support young people, parents, family members, educators, and all who work with youth.
CL Action Foundation
We give grants to directly help those threatened by violence and the people and groups working to assist them. We intend for our awards to support pregnant women and their unborn children; death row inmates; refugees, veterans, and others affected by war; the sick, elderly, and disabled; and more.
Blog
We list the latest in every issue of this newsletter, but we have a List of All Posts in categories you can peruse, and we’re adding an “evergreen” marker to those that don’t get outdated, so are still worth your while to read. We also have a List of Authors – over 50 people have contributed to our blog!
Grassroots Defunding: Finding Alternatives to Abortion
Helping Women & Men Choose Life / Building Up Nonviolent Health Care
Nearly 1 of every 6 women visiting Planned Parenthood gets an abortion. That means about 5 of every 6 go in for something else.
And that’s in the states where abortion is still allowed. Where abortions are now restricted, PP will be a major pipeline for women traveling to other states, and people who visit PP for something else will have abortion promoted to them.
For most PP locations, there are plenty of better alternatives nearby. This website lets local pro-life activists know where they are.
And here are some projects our members have been active in:
Sites of Interest to Consistent Lifers:
Problems at Planned Parenthood documents problems center by center with a mainly facts-only approach.
Ongoing Commentary of Interest to Consistent Lifers:

Quote of the Week
Rev. Sharon Risher
Religious News Service, July 1, 2025
It has been a decade since my mother, Ethel Lance, along with my cousins Susie Jackson and Tywanza Sanders and six others were gunned down in a mass shooting at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015 . . .
Dylann Roof wanted to start a race war, but I feel like there is already such a war going on, and it plays out in our criminal legal system . . .
I had never really thought about the death penalty before it touched me so closely, but I now oppose it in all cases. Learning about the unfairness of racism in the system is both personal and academic, but because our killer is on death row, I can’t heal.
