Milk-smearing, bizarre antics, and disruptive behavior marked more appearances of unhinged abortion activists.  

Despite the chaos, the Students for Life of America (SFLA) field team remained focused and engaged in the annual National Pro-Life Gen Sidewalk Day, activating in 89 locations across 42 states nationwide. During Sidewalk Day, more than 150 staff, students, community members, and others gathered outside abortion facilities nationwide to offer compassionate support, information, and hope to women approaching abortion facilities. In addition to sidewalk counseling and prayer, participants gave out blessing bags and used sidewalk chalk to write positive messages.   

Not only was the Students for Life team, in conjunction with other organizations and student leaders, leading these sidewalk advocacy days, but some were also hosting the SFLA’s Campaign for Abortion Free Cities Summer of Service at the same time. The Pro-Life Generation (PLG) serves low-income families this summer and proves all the abortion narratives wrong.  During our annual Summer of Service, we have been giving away thousands of baby items FOR FREE to needy families to help parents reject abortion and choose LIFE for their children.

Forced Farting in Protest?   

From Jessica Power, New England Regional Coordinator:  

While at the New Haven, Connecticut Planned Parenthood, we were countered by about 15-20 pro-abortion activists. They stood on one side of the street, and we stood on the other. At one point, a man on a scooter passed by the pro-abortion activists and cheered them on. When he crossed the street to where we were standing, he squatted down and worked really hard to fart in front of us.   

Milk Mayhem  

From Jordan Brittain, Pacific Southwest Regional Coordinator:  

It was a great showing, almost 20 people came, including locals who pray there weekly, my family (shout out to one of my nephews!), friends, and a family from Seton Catholic High School whose daughter is president of the pro-life club there. We got a ton of honks and thank yous, and a volunteer from the Aid to Women Center next door to the Planned Parenthood came by to thank us as well.   

One pro-choicer stopped at our chalk and dumped two half gallons of milk on it and stepped over it to smear and erase it. Then he waved with the jugs in the air, grabbed the rest of his groceries, and slumped away.   

We gave over 100 size six diapers, along with wipes, baby soap, and lotion, to the Aid to Women Center before heading out to door-knock because they had told us they needed those specific items.  

We stayed at the sidewalk for almost three hours, holding signs, playing Christian music, praying a rosary, chalking, and spreading joy and hope. It was a great day, and I gave 100 AFC flyers to the Seton Acosta family to disperse in their own neighborhood. Then I left to go out to the doors in the area offering free supplies.  

Pennsylvania Protestors Say, “Real Christians” Support Abortions  

From Julia Sadik, Pennsylvania Regional Coordinator:   

Apparently, even the sight of a few pro-lifers quietly praying was enough to send the abortion crowd into full meltdown mode.  

Word spread fast, and before long, the street turned into a circus. Out came the rainbow flags, the antifa wannabes in black masks, and a parade of people wearing obscene slogans that looked like they were scribbled down at 2 a.m. after a frat party. One shirt screamed: “Go birds, go abortions, go bodily autonomy.” Because nothing says “Fly Eagles Fly” quite like chanting for the death of babies. Another favorite: “Pro-possum, pro-choice.” Possums! If your movement is down to rodent mascots, maybe it’s time to rethink the platform.  

For over two hours, they did their best to drown us out—screaming obscenities, flipping us off, mocking our prayers, and telling us to kill ourselves. And yet, they proudly proclaimed that they were the “real Christians.”   

The irony didn’t stop there. Right in the middle of the chaos stood a man clutching a rosary. At first, I thought he was on our side. But no—this man, who called himself Catholic, was praying for abortion. He claimed to be invoking the Virgin Mary to bless more abortions. The spiritual confusion was off the charts. It was one of the most twisted things I’ve ever witnessed.  

They can call themselves the “real Christians.” They can wear obscene slogans. They can scream until they lose their voices. But none of it changes reality: real love protects life. Real prayer defends the innocent. And real Christianity doesn’t cheer for the destruction of children. At the end of the day, truth doesn’t need a megaphone, and love doesn’t retreat. And we’ll be back— blessing bags ready and more determined than ever.  

Abortion Vendor CLOSES ITS DOORS  

From Madison Bowe, Future President of Students For Life at College of Southern Nevada:  

We had the fantastic opportunity of witnessing our abortion facility closed for the day. We ended up doing a prayer walk around the facility seven times, just like in the Bible when the Israelites marched around Jericho. We made sure we prayed to and praised God for the closing of this facility as well. Students for Life from both UNLV and future CSN were there as well as Nevada Right to Life and First Choice Pregnancy Services.     

Mom Chalks Powerful Message of LIFE  

From Megan Roos, Texas Regional Coordinator: 

While a group of pro-lifers covered Planned Parenthood’s sidewalks in chalk, a mom told her kid to lie down so she could trace him. I was thinking, “That’s odd, but whatever.” At the end of the day, I come back to it and find the photo above. Next to her child’s outline, it reads:  

“Outline of Colton, age 7. Born to a working mom, not wealthy, scared to be a parent. JOY OF MY LIFE.”  

 

I love this so much. Additionally, we went to some low-income apartments and hit 191 doors, had 39 conversations, and helped 17 families!   

The Pro-Life Lifestyle  

The most incredible part about our staff, students, and volunteers is that they don’t need a dedicated day to counsel women and advocate for preborn life: they do this every day. We’re proud to showcase them on this day as a reminder of what the pro-life movement does year-round.
