Friends,
In spite of the tremendous victories which you and Priests for Life won on Election Day two things haven’t changed:
- Abortion-on-demand is still legal in several states and over 2,500 defenseless babies will be killed in a legal abortion today; some 424 of them by the time you finish reading my letter. That’s a national disgrace and a crime that cries out to heaven for vengeance.
- Priests for Life will still be in the huge financial hole we dug for ourselves due to all the work we did to educate and mobilize pro-life voters for this election.
It is because of that financial hole that I need you to take a moment right now to make as large a donation to Priests for Life as you can.
If that’s $15 fine. If it’s $25, thank you.
No matter what size donation you can make the important thing is that you do the best you can.
I don’t have a full accounting of how much Priests for Life spent on our election-related work but I know it was in the millions of dollars.
I also know that donations to Priests for Life did not come close to covering project costs. But given the vital importance of driving the anti-life Democrats from power, I made a commitment to spend whatever it took to accomplish that goal. Hopefully God blessed our efforts with success. I’ll know tomorrow.
In the meantime, I’ve got to get Priests for Life back on solid financial footing because, come the Trump administration and pro-life Congress this January, Priests for Life will be needed to lead the pro-life movement in the fight to make abortion in America not merely illegal but even more importantly UNTHINKABLE.
And that mission didn’t change this past Election Day.
I’m not going to take up your valuable time recounting all the ways your dollars empower Priests for Life to preach the Gospel of Life to our fellow Americans.
But I will tell you that, thanks to the donations you and your fellow Priests for Life family members provide, we are able to reach close to a million people a day through the several means of communication at our disposal: Videos. Emails. Letters. Programs. Radio broadcasts. Online courses.
That work and that outreach was successful this past election.
But now that there will be many more pro-life people running the federal government it’s more important than ever that we maintain Priests for Life’s outreach if we are to have any chance of ending America's abortion holocaust.
Given the anti-life propaganda which the abortion-biased news media feeds people on a daily basis, Priests for Life is going to launch a major offensive to:
- Give Americans the TRUTH about late-term abortion. In spite of the lies the Democrats and media tell, the FACT is that “at least 10,000 babies” are callously killed in a late term abortion every year in the United States. How many Americans know that? Not many. Priests for Life needs to get this FACT out to people and make it the gateway to their joining us to end all abortions.
- Priests for Life is going to turn the tables on the pro-aborts and use the courts to protect babies, protect women, protect peaceful pro-life protestors, protect religious freedom for doctors and health care workers, and more.
Both initiatives are vital to the fight against abortion and Priests for Life desperately needs your gift so that we can get back on solid financial ground and fund both this new offensive along with all the other work Priests for Life is doing to make abortion in America unthinkable.
Please help. Our financial need is both urgent and desperate.
Knowing you will make a sacrifice to send your donation I pray for you every day. And Fr. Denis Wilde, O.S.A. and Fr. David Begany, SSJ remember you in the Masses they offer. Thank you for your help and may God bless you.
Sincerely yours,
Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone
National Director, Priests for Life
P.S. To be clear: The reason for the downturn in donations over the past few months is threefold: (1) The Biden economy, which is finally over, praise God. You may not know this but American lost 40% of their buying power over the last four years. (2) The 2024 election siphoned off countless dollars that would have otherwise been sent to Priests for Life. And (3) Hurricane relief efforts raised millions to help families suffering from the twin disasters of Helene and Milton. That three-headed financial monster took a huge bite out of Priests for Life’s project budget and I’m counting on you to help us recover from it and get back on our feet with your donation today.
Thank you.
