Words from our founder
Dear friend,
I've got so many things to tell you. First, thank you so much for your ongoing support of PAAU. I wanted to reach out to let you know we have been working hard on Capitol Hill demanding hearings for the five aborted third trimester babies Lauren and I recovered from a medical waste truck last year. Yesterday, I personally spoke to Rep. Chris Smith who affirmed he would be looking into scheduling hearings for the babies. I was also able to speak with Rep. Mike Johnson, Rep. Chip Roy, and Rep. Lauren Boebert about their involvement. We are getting closer everyday. PAAU is also spearheading a soon to be public coalition letter from pro-life organizations asking congress to give these babies their day in court. Because three of these children were likely were killed in ways that violated the Born Alive Infant Protection Act and the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act it is imperative that congress take action. This is the path to a national ban on abortion at viability! If you can, please call your representatives in the House to let them know you also want hearings for these children and that you want their killer to testify under oath.
The PAAU team also had the privilege of attending yesterday’s judiciary committee hearing on the FACE Act. Afterwards, pro-life members of congress held a press conference further shining a light on those currently being charged under FACE, including our own Lauren Handy and Herb Geraghty. There is absolutely momentum in congress to repeal this oppressive law. We can protect pregnancy centers without legitimizing access to child killing! We hope you will join us in calling for congress to #RepealFACE.
It’s also newsworthy that the FBI recently paid a visit to PAAU’s Digital Content Creator Elise Ketch’s childhood home where her parents currently live. They didn’t give a reason for their visit but the FBI’s continued lurking around PAAU activities is unsettling. You can read more about it in the Daily Signal here.
PAAU’s continued work relies on people like you caring an awful lot about these babies and our strategic efforts. In August, PAAU Director of Activism Lauren Handy and PAAU Board Treasurer Herb Geraghty will stand trial, along with 7 others (including Rescue hero Joan Andrews Bell) for allegedly violating the FACE Act in Washington D.C. Their charges come with a maximum of 11 years in prison. We are working to gather every willing pro-lifer to the court to demand justice for Lauren, Herb, and their co-defendants. Their bravery is inspiring a generation and we need to show the court and the community that they are heroes and they are loved.
Additionally, we’re also headed into an election year which will require significant travel for my hardworking activists. We plan to educate voters coast to coast about the horrors of abortion and the existence of left-leaning pro-life people. Every election season, it is critical for us to show our faces and voices.
Here's what I need from you. Would you please consider a gift to PAAU to carry us through Lauren and Herb’s trial and the first legs of the election season? Could you consider giving your biggest gift yet? As our team has grown, so have our financial needs. We are ready for the battle but we need the resources to continue on. We can't do the work without the financial resources. Would you please give right now? Also, do you know anyone you could share this email with who might also consider giving?
Whatever your giving level is, I am so grateful. Your financial offerings have gotten us this far and I am proud of the pace we’ve been able to keep, but we must continue to grow and do more as the abortion industry continues to kill. I believe that we will win and that’s because of people like you making the dream real. Together, we will build a better world.
Please consider making a gift right now.
Thank you for all you do.
For Life and Hope,
Terrisa
