This was my fifth year leading the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation town hall tour around the state. I was privileged to have our education director, Micaiah Bilger, as my co-presenter this year.

Based on the feedback we received at every stop along the way, the tour was an unequivocal success. People genuinely appreciate our brand of pro-life education. And we reached hundreds of citizens in their hometowns.
We traveled 1,200 miles in seven days this month, speaking in 11 different communities, starting in Ebensburg and continuing on to Uniontown, Pittsburgh, Titusville, Erie, State College, Scranton, Nesquehoning, Easton, Philadelphia and Lancaster. We have one last stop to make in Grove City on September 16. Click here for details.
People like the way we provide the most important information on some of the hottest pro-life topics of the day with high energy, passion and plain English.
This year, we covered seven topics at each stop:
- The state of abortion in Pennsylvania
- Gov. Wolf’s ties to the abortion industry
- Hope for parents whose babies have poor prenatal diagnoses
- Abortion and medical rationing in the era of the Affordable Care Act
- The push for doctor-prescribed suicide
- Encouraging signs for the pro-life cause
- What you can do to help restore the culture of life in Pennsylvania
Since each event is one-and-a-half to two hours long, we keep our talks brief and focus on the most important aspects of each topic. When people want more details, we provide them during Q&A.
Special thanks to all those who hosted this year’s pro-life town halls. Check out a slideshow of photos from all these events here.
