Christians: Please join us at the Rally for Life

Christian Citizens for Life announces the annual Rally For Life, which will be held on Sanctity of Life Sunday, January 20, as we sadly remember the 46th anniversary of Roe v. Wade) at 2:00 pm on the lawn of the Monroe County Courthouse. We will gather to pray and listen as Stephen Baker, Associate Pastor of Clearnote Church Bloomington, brings us a timely message, and we will conduct our annual march through part of downtown & around the square as we stand against the barbaric killing of our most defenseless citizens – our children.

Though generally down in Indiana, abortions are way up in Monroe County. Here are the shocking numbers.
  • 2014 – 718 babies murdered by abortion.
  • 2015 – 822 babies murdered by abortion.
  • 2016 -- 1,016 babies murdered by abortion.
8:43 PM
  • 2017 -- 1,065 babies murdered by abortion.
Source: Indiana Department of Health statistics.

This is an average of 20 children per week, right here in Bloomington. We MUST take a stand against this senseless killing that continues to poison our community.

We invite you to join us for this rally. We are encouraging participants to bring a package of disposable diapers, especially sizes 3-5, for the Hannah Center and the Women’s Care Center, and donations for the support of both centers and also for Christian Citizens for Life are gratefully appreciated. Please stand with us to defend those who cannot defend themselves. We look forward to seeing you there!

Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not He Who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not He Who guards your life know it? Will He not repay each person according to what he has done? -- Proverbs 24:11-12 (NIV)

Erin Houchin remarks on protecting minors

This is the text of the remarks that State Senator Erin Houchin gave at the Indiana Right to Life press conferences on June 20. Good morning. I'm State Senator Erin Houchin from Senate District 47, and I was proud to author Senate Enrolled Act 404 in 2017, which sought to protect young girls, under the age of 16, who seek to obtain an abortion. In Indiana, the age of consent is 16 years of age. When minors under this age seek to terminate pregnancies, it is critical for these cases to be reported to the Department of Child Services and the Indiana State Department of Health to determine if illegal action took place, or if these girls were victimized or are in danger in any way. At these young and vulnerable ages, sometimes as young as 12 years old, it is likely that these pregnancies did not occur as a result of legal, consensual activity. It is the duty of the DCS and law enforcement to examine the circumstances behind each case to determine what, if any, action should be take...

Peggy Mayfield remarks on protecting minors

This is the text of the remarks that State Representative Peggy Mayfield gave at the Indiana Right to Life press conferences on June 20. I am grateful for the opportunity to address you today. As House sponsor of SEA 404, the bill that provided for the reporting requirements at issue, I applaud the vigilant efforts of Indiana Right to Life to hold Planned Parenthood accountable for protecting our young girls-- girls under 16—girls not yet old enough to get a driver’s license--who have had abortions performed on them. A girl this young, in these cases as young as 12, must either obtain her parent’s consent or the court’s permission before having an abortion. In addition, the provider must notify the Dept. of Child Services within 3 days of the procedure. The reason for this is clear: the age of consent in Indiana is 16. Any pregnant girls younger than that could be the victim of a variety of sex crimes or trafficking. Doctors play an integral part in identifying and reducing...
