Be a Hero for Life

Dear Pro-Life Supporter:

Do you have what it takes to be a hero?  Would you like to know how it feels to save a life?
Each and every day thousands of babies die because of a choice.  Are these babies being killed needlessly because their mothers did not know of the alternatives that were readily available to them to possibly save their baby's life and avoid a life-time of pain and regret?   Were they offered an ultrasound to see their baby's beating heart or to count the fingers and toes on their child's tiny hands and feet?

The Knights of Columbus stand firmly against the culture of death and wholly affirm life from conception to natural death. Brothers and Sisters there is another organization that is a steadfast supporter of life, Arizona Right to Life (AZRTL). This organization is on the front lines every day engaged in the battle to protect  unborn children from abortion and to protect their mothers from being exploited by abortion. AZRTL wages this battle with comprehensive educational programs about the horrors of abortion and the alternatives to abortion.  AZRTL is the life-line to expectant mothers by helping to provide clarity amidst the confusion in the emotional roller coaster that an unplanned pregnancy often brings.  AZRTL continually informs and educates Arizonans about the evils of abortion, assisted suicide, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research and other issues that threaten life, while always providing a consistent and caring message about the sanctity of life from conception to natural death.

Arizona Right to Life desperately needs your financial support so that they can stand with the Knights of Columbus to continue the incredible work they are doing daily to save lives.  Today is the day you can step up and be a hero in helping save lives by making an immediate donation to Arizona Right to Life!  The Arizona State Council of the Knights of Columbus has been a long-standing support of this great organization. I am on their Board of Directors, as are other Brother Knights. Patty and I pray that you consider helping this financially strapped organization. Your donation can help save a life.

Let this be the day you open your heart and checkbook and say yes to life and yes to Arizona Right to Life!  Every dollar is vital in the fight against the "culture of death"!

Donating to AZRTL is easy!  Go to their website right now:  www.AZRTL.org and click on the big red button in the upper right-hand corner of the home page marked "CONTRIBUTE".  Simply fill out the amount you wish to donate, add your credit card information and submit your donation on this secure site.
Or you can mail a donation to:
Arizona Right to Life
3333 North 44th Street, Ste 4
Phoenix, AZ 85018

Or you can make a phone donation by calling the AZRTL office at:  602-285-0063!  

Nearly 4,000 babies are aborted in this country every day - 365 days a year.  Yes, even on Sundays the abortionists are practicing their deadly trade!  You can help stop the killing!  Answer the call!  Make Arizona Right to Life your choice in the fight to save lives! Please make a donation today!  BE A HERO!   SAVE A LIFE!

On behalf of our pre-born brothers and sisters, Thank You!

For Life,
