How can we keep NY's Abortion Extremes out of Pennsylvania? Right now is a pivotal moment in our state and nation in responding to this cultural crisis of abortion. It is sickening to have pro-choice lawmakers cheer when passing abortion laws that permit a baby to be killed right up to the moment of birth. Since our beginning, now thirty years ago, Pennsylvania Family Institute has been working to fighting for the sanctity of human life. Today, this battle must be revitalized in Pennsylvania. Just as Michael Geer explains in his appearance on this weekend's Spotlight program with Greg Barton on WDAC (here's a clip: Facebook | YouTube. Full radio interview: click here), we are building upon our systematic and aggressive strategy here in Pennsylvania and need people like you to help make it possible. To learn more, sign up with us here. Also, Michael Geer wrote a letter about this that will be mailed soon - if you're not on our mailing list and want to receive a copy, contact us at mail@pafamily.org. ———————— Lt.
