Report on Roe v. Wade Anniversary Events
VTFFL President Serrin Foster enjoyed meeting so many of you when she called for resources and support for pregnant women-including victims of rape-at the annual “Rally for Life” hosted by Vermont Right to Life at the Vermont State House. Did you see the reaction from the legislator that also works for Planned Parenthood? AP reported that she dismissed Serrin’s call for resources and support, saying, “In Vermont, we have great supports for women who find themselves pregnant.” Really? Is that why students at the University of Vermont, where Serrin spoke the day before, had only seen one woman on campus that was pregnant and had her baby? Perhaps that legislator missed the Guttmacher statistics that reveal women have abortions because they don’t have the resources they need, want, and deserve? That story went coast to coast. If you missed it, read it here:  http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jan/18/feminists-for-life-chief-rallies-vt-abortion-foes/#ixzz2t33HIHuW  and see the response posted by Vermont Right to Life!  http://www.vrlc.net/ap-response-feminists-for-life/ 

About 1,500 students from the St. Louis Youth Apostolate made the trip to DC for the Roe events. Serrin addressed the enthusiastic students who packed the massive ballroom about the twin movements of abolition and suffrage on the Martin Luther King anniversary. Jewels Green, who served as editor of the last three issues of FFL’s magazine, The American Feminist spoke the next night about her experience working in an abortion clinic.

group40filmSerrin and Sally went to the premiere of the 40 film. (http://www.the40film.com/) Serrin, Sally, and Jewels were each interviewed for the powerful film that reveals the spectrum of the movement. Also included are many women you have met through stories in The American Feminist, including Rebecca Kiessling who was conceived through rape, Kelsey Hazzard of Secular Pro-Life, and many more. Please contact the producers to bring this film to your campus, church, or community. Pictured here from left to right: Rebecca Kiessling, FFL VP Sally Winn, Rep.

SFLAJHUFFL Vice President Sally Winn met students from across the country at the Cardinal O’Connor Conference at Georgetown and Students for Life of America’s National Conference in Maryland and their first West Coast Conference in San Francisco. She and the Chair of FFL Board Pat O’Kane were happy to meet people at the West Coast Walk for Life. Sally, shown below appears with students from John Hopkins University at the SFLA conference.

Associated Press, National Review Online, and many other news sources commented on our thousands of placards, which declared “Women Deserve Better than Abortion®” and “All People Are Equal. All Choices Are Not” at the Walk for Life West Coast. Sally reached a massive audience when she was interviewed by EWTN at the West Coast Walk for Life about FFL’s entrepreneurial efforts to address the needs of pregnant and parenting students and staff on campuses across the country.
