When she saw a young woman going into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood, Connie Lindsay urgently asked for reinforcements. "We called in every guardian angel in the area saying 'Go to her! Go to her!'" she recalled. As part of the 40 Days for Life campaign of prayer to end abortion, Lindsay had joined fellow parishioners from St. Helen's Church...

 Since the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022, abortion has been illegal in Texas, with certain exceptions including the life of the mother. Although, in some states, abortion is still legal. It is also legal to travel to a different state and get an abortion – in some states up to the moment of birth. In 2023, more than 171,000 women crossed sta...

 This is something that is typically not talked about – Ever. Back in June, a man by the name of Tommy Kearns began to share his story across social platforms. His daughter's name is Clementine, and she was 5 months along in the womb when she was aborted in New Jersey at Cherry Hill Women's Center. She was perfectly healthy. Tommy begged Cleme...

As I prepare myself to close this next chapter of my life as a development assistant and step into a new role as an elementary teacher in 2025, my heart swells with warmth, gratitude, and a sense of fulfillment. I honestly feel as though this transition is more of a next step than it is as a goodbye to this incredible organization, as I have been g...

Rich Rovegno has been a sidewalk counselor since Big Blue was launched in 2011. Last week we talked to Rich to ask him why he still comes out to pray and this is what he had to say.

It was June 24th, 2022, in Washington DC. I walked to the elevator from my hotel room, struggling to comprehend that our pro-life summit speaker announced that Dobbs v. Jackson could potentially overturn Roe v. Wade after almost 50 years. However, as I walked into the elevator, there was a girl whose face was noticeably brightened with joy. At that...

As a University of Houston alumna myself (class of 2018), I can't say I'm entirely surprised by the installation of such an unsightly statue on campus. My time at UH was spent in hiding for the most part. I never told anyone my political beliefs out of fear of what the repercussions might be. The students and faculty around me were very much on the...
