I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to the Dallas March for Life that is happening this coming Saturday, January 19th. Each time I attend the March, I am amazed at the growing crowds. People from all walks of life, and all ethnic groups, in all kinds of weather. Young and old are marching, some carrying signs or balloons, and the Knights of Columbus in full regalia. It is especially nice to see so many pro-life teens. Many parents bring their children. There was a woman on crutches one year, who walked the entire route to the Earl Cabell Federal building and back. She had to be experiencing pain. It made me think of Christ, who carried the cross to Calvary. He had to be in terrible pain, but he did it anyway. Christ died for all of us, and that includes the 55 million precious babies lost, that we march for.

2013 is the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade. We are expecting over 10,000 people in Dallas to March for Life this year. The theme is Exodus 20:13, Thou Shalt Not Kill. I feel sure that 10,000 people marching to the courthouse are going to look like an exodus coming out of the desert of 40 years of abortion. Surely this will be the year that the major television and radio stations will be there to report the March for Life, alongside the faithful evangelical and catholic stations that are with us every year!

Many people who march are Christians who are constantly in the front lines, fighting against abortion. We are encouraged by the Sonogram law, the number of clinics that are closing and the actions Texans for Life is taking to expose the degenerate docs and deplorable conditions of many of the abortion mills. These are huge strides brought about by small steps taken, toward ending abortion. Even still, upon occasion, it feels like it is us against the world, and the March for Life is a fabulous way for all of us to see that we are not standing alone in this fight, not by a long shot! These marchers represent pro-lifers in Texas. It is a beautiful sight to see multiple denominations, Crisis Pregnancy Centers, and all other pro-life groups and individuals, come together in peace and prayer, to show our solidarity for LIFE.

Get there early to get a parking spot or seat! Bring a car or bus load of friends and family, a picnic lunch, water bottle, comfy shoes, and be prepared for Texas weather! We hope to see you at one of two events, starting at 10:00 AM!

Some Ft. Worth residents believe this is what happens when Planned Parenthood can’t get their way in Dallas. Others think the location was chosen for other reasons. No matter the strategy, one thing is certain: Planned Parenthood is building a late-term abortion clinic in Ft. Worth — next to a nationally recognized adoption agency.

It began with a simple transaction.

Cerine Management, LLC, formed in 2009, bought a parcel of land in southwest Ft. Worth. The company’s records were vague, with Gray “Tuck” Henry the sole principal listed. Elizabeth Solender of Solender Hall Commercial Real Estate, a broker representing Cerine, purchased land from a Ft. Worth man named Dan McDonald, who was told it would be used for an ambulatory surgical center. Solender, an influential League of Women Voters type known among North Texas power politics players and non-profit feminists, specializes in transferring real estate from companies to non-profits.

Rumors began to spread around the Ft. Worth area when a former Planned Parenthood executive converted to Christianity in Denison and told her pastor PP was planning something horrible in Ft. Worth. Pastors, like the rest of us, talk. Her pastor told another pastor, Dr. Michael Dean of Travis Avenue Baptist Church, in the fall of 2011.

Not yet knowing what PP had up their sleeve, or where their big idea might land, Dean contacted The Edna Gladney Center, and together they formed Life Advisory Team to explore the sinister possibilit

Sometimes I feel like a Dallas Cowboy.  You hit hard over and over again. You take the hits.  You pour out your blood, sweat and tears, and still some years are a total discouragement. The Cowboys are welcomed back home, even when they fail, with pats on the back and high hopes for the next year.  But when they come home winners..WOW!  When they hit the big time, the SUPER BOWL, and finally see where their years of work have paid off, then what a celebration it is!
