THE STAND Blog is the place to find personal insights and perspectives from writers who respond to current cultural topics by promoting faith and defending the family.
THE STAND Magazine is AFA’s monthly publication that filters the culture’s endless stream of information through a grid of scriptural truth. It is chock-full of new stories, feature articles, commentaries, and more that encourage Christians to step out in faith and action.
We connected last week and asked for your support of a groundbreaking bill that enables business owners to make game-changing donations to Pregnancy Resource Centers. You worked hard – and delivered. After many twists and turns, the Mississippi Senate and the Mississippi House passed the Pregnancy Resource Act (HB 1685).
However, Democrats in the Senate are using one final delay tactic to try to kill this bill. They are desperate to stop it. It’s that important!
We need your help today. Contact your Mississippi Senator to ask for his/her help to pass the Pregnancy Resource Act without delay and send this bill to the governor.
Why is this bill so special? Pregnancy Resource Centers are serving more than 12,000 families across Mississippi. Yet they receive no federal or state money. They are doing this important work on their own, showing how churches and communities can come together to create a network providing high-quality healthcare to pregnant women.
The Left hates this approach! And they definitely hate it when this nonprofit, community-based work is helping save babies and encourage mothers to choose life.
Listen to what people like Nancy Loome are saying: “We need to kill this bill. Fortunately, it was held on a motion to reconsider.” Loome and her organization can’t stand it that the Pregnancy Resource Act includes language to help private schools help foster care kids and disabled children. Nope, they want every penny they can grab for their own designs to remake Mississippi’s school system look like California’s and New York’s.
The Democrats’ “motion-to-reconsider” must be dealt with before Saturday. Please contact your Mississippi senator today and ask him/her to support The Pregnancy Resource Act sending it to the governor without any more delays.
Your email and call will help provide needed resources to Mississippi Pregnancy Centers. Literally, these centers are on the front lines saving babies from abortion. Please contact your state senator today. This bill is the first of its kind and could become a model for the rest of the country. Help Mississippi shine and continue to lead the way for life!
