Did you know that there are over roughly 1,000,000 frozen embryos (babies) in the United States?
We didn’t either until a few years ago. A little background about our family.…we are Aaron and Jen and we’ve been married almost 25 years. Before hearing about embryo adoption, we had 6 biological children, two boys and four girls.
If infants in the womb were not considered persons, it would be very easy to argue for their murder, and that is exactly what the Department of Health and Human Services wants to insinuate. Cleverly disguised under the title “HIPAA Privacy Rule to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy,” the HHS (Health and Human Services) proposes to redefine the medically recognized term of “Person” to exclude infants inside the womb. They have begun to reserve that term only for babies that have already...
It’s hard to turn a corner, watch TV, attend a sporting event, or scroll on your phone without seeing corporations falling over each other to promote their involvement in Pride Month. We can’t escape it and yet, the Holy Bible contains thousands of verses about life, marriage and family, so we know for a fact that God has righteous standards concerning the sanctity of life and marriage — the two legs upon which this nation stands. The prophet Ezekiel was a ‘watchman on the wall’ who warned...

As we begin the month of February, we would like to take the opportunity to recognize a pro-life leader who characterizes both Black History and Women’s History months.
Pro-personhood advocates gather annually from across the Southeast to mourn, pray and express sorrow for the more than 63,000,000 children denied the chance at life, as well as for the women and men whose lives have been damaged by abortion. Families, friends, whole communities have been hurt by abortion – join us as we gather to mourn and pray for an end to the terrible scourge of abortion. “The blood-stained statistics on abortion remain horrific,” said Georgia Right to Life (GRTL)...
How do you celebrate someone when words are not enough? How do you say thank you when it’s impossible to grasp the magnitude of their contributions? That’s the challenge when remembering what Terry Queen has meant to the pro-life movement in Georgia. Terry, Georgia Right to Life’s Walton County Chapter leader, went to be with the Lord on November 13, after a long battle with cancer. He also was a member of the Board of Directors for the Pregnancy Center of Walton, the county’s pregnancy...
Pro-life warrior, faithful friend William E. “Bill” Oliver passed away at age 95 on September 25, 2022. He had attended our annual REACH fundraiser dinner just seventeen days prior to his passing.

He recruited a table or more of guests each year for as long as I can recall and enthusiastically supported GRTL, along with his wife Liz, for decades. In my talks with Bill, I remember his no-nonsense manner and unending zeal for...
