Many have praised China’s recent decision to end its immoral and draconian one-child policy as a great victory That policy, introduced in 1979, has prevented 400 million births, a number that includes 336 million abortions: 13 million a year; 35,000 per day; 1,500 per hour. The change, effective next March, replaces the one-child policy with a two-child policy. “While a step in the right direction, it will not end the slaughter of millions of innocent children,” said Georgia Right to Life...

Sermons
Many staff, volunteers, and friends of GRTL are teaching pastors. With the help of pro-life pastors around the country, we will provide notes, presentations, outlines, and full sermons here for others to use at their churches.
For Pastors
The local church and its pastors are two vital assets that are often overlooked but are critically important to the pro-life cause. If our churches and church leadership are unwilling or not equipped to take a stand in the fight for life, we will not win the culture.
A March To Avoid
March 2020 - Article 1: March madness is more than about basketball. It also marks the beginning of the annual March of Dimes (MOD) fund raising campaign—deceptively claiming “every baby deserves the best possible start.” What’s wrong with that statement? While MOD does many beneficial things, claiming it works to protect every baby is misleading. The organization has innocent blood on its hands. MOD has a history of supporting Planned Parenthood—the nation’s largest abortion provider—as...
They’re Coming for Our Religious Freedom
December 2019 – Article 2: There’s always a price for ignoring history, and it’s always too high. As anti-Christian forces become bolder and more aggressive, it’s critical to remember the words of Nazi-era pastor Martin Niemoller who lamented the failure of German Christians to stand against the forces of evil. “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.” “Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a...

Even though 30,000 transplants are performed annually in the U.S., 20 people die every day while waiting for an organ. Additionally, there are currently an estimated 113,000 people on waiting lists. Today scientists in the United States and around the world are feverishly working to meet the demand by developing 3D-printed organs,...
The Brain Death Ploy
June 2019 – Article 2 It sounds so compassionate. So caring. A loved one has been declared brain dead and you’re urged to allow doctors to take their organs and save the life of others. It’s the right thing to do they say. What they don’t tell you is that the term “brain death” was devised for a less than noble purpose. In a recent media interview, Doyen Nguyen, a lay Dominican and professor at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome, said the idea of brain...
