Nellie Gray

In his homily on August 15, 2012 (see video or hear audio), as well as in an opinion piece published today by USA Today, Fr. Frank reflected on Nellie’s life and mission. He pointed out that she drew her inspiration to defend the unborn after she was deeply disturbed by the Nazi Holocaust and stirred by the lesson of the Nuremburg Trials. Fr. Frank explains the basis for her "No Exceptions, No Compromise" stance, and shares insights drawn from his final conversations with her about the direction she wanted the March, and the pro-life movement in general, to go in the months and years ahead.

Hear Nellie’s voice about pro-life strategy! This excerpt was taken from a meeting at the beginning of 2011 at which Fr. Frank invited Nellie to share her thoughts about the history of the pro-life movement. She describes how she got started in this cause and what motivated her to defend preborn children.
