The following are snippets of conversations from the Genocide Awareness Project’s international mission trip in Florida last month.  These give glimpses of how ordinary people can reach out to wounded people in a twisted culture:

A man was looking in shock at the pictures of aborted babies and Nicole, a volunteer, asked if he had questions. He said, “No, no this enough; my eyes are opened now.”

“I was raped at 16 and had an abortion.”

That’s not what you normally hear from someone you met just a few minutes prior; but I’ve gotten used to it. It seems that almost every time I give a presentation or participate in a pro-life display like the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) or “Choice” Chain, some wounded woman confides in me a horror story of abuse.   And it leads me to believe that sexual abuse is far more rampant than we realize.

I bumped into him in the hallway of the Washington, DC Marriot Hotel. He had just finished delivering the keynote address to a packed hall at the Conservative Political Action Conference —this speech being the first I and a number of others around me in the audience had ever heard of him. He introduced himself: “I’m Marco Rubio, what’s your name?”

The month of March saw heavy debate on Canadian university campuses about abortion. In total, CCBR participated in seven debates in B.C, Alberta and Ontario, along with a handful of other presentations on campuses. Unfortunately, several debates didn’t happen, or in one case almost didn’t happen, because of a lack of a candidate willing to defend the pro-choice worldview.

She was arrested at the age of 33 and sentenced to death.  Posters proclaiming her execution were circulated around her city.  She read them with her own eyes.

He failed to save his own family from the Holocaust.

The man who devoted his whole life to advocating for international laws to be created against atrocities committed on a large-scale against groups of people based on their nationality, religion, or race was unable to convince his parents and brother to flee Eastern Poland with him, where his parents and almost 50 of his family members were eventually killed by the Nazis.

“Misogynists!!!  Women Haters!!! Law Breakers!!!”

It is not unusual to encounter protestors while participating in "Choice" Chain, but it is unusual to meet ones passionate enough to stick around and disrupt it for hours on end.
