Elie Wiesel
“We must always take sides.
Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”
Professor Hymie Gordon, Mayo Clinic
“By all the criteria of modern molecular biology,
life is present from the moment of conception.”
Mrs. Lore Maier
“Where Hitler compelled people to do the killing, today millions of people choose to abort their babies of their free will. …If we let this go on, what is now a matter of choice could very easily become mandatory…"If we are not pro-life, we are against our own survival.”
Mrs. Lore Maier, was the first Executive Director of Heartbeat International, as a full-time volunteer. German-born, Mrs. Maier was the only survivor of her family of six in Nazi Germany. She was a court recorder during the Nuremburg trials and knew how the killing had escalated, with the “imperfect” being the first victims.
Why We Oppose the Jewish Pro-Abortion Majority
Abortion doesn’t just take one life.
It wipes out entire generations.
Communities lose many future descendants with each abortion.
We Feel The Pain And Loss Of Each And Every One.
The Number, Astonishing.
The Loss Of Life, Tragic.
The Reality, Frightening.
The Heartache, Inconsolable.
As of 9.25.23
Since 1980 around the globe 1,709,331,805
Since 1973 in the United States 65,103,392
Since 1973, in the United States 881,100 Jewish babies*
Every year, 40,000 Jewish babies in Israel
Over 2 million Jewish children in Israel have died from abortion since 1948.
