The Precious Feet pin has become the international symbol of the pro-life movement and millions of them have been distributed over the years, but did you know the story of how they came to be? It was one pro-life doctor's desire to document the reality of abortion. This is his story.

(Jan. 22, 2017) – Close To Home is a show about people and situations that demonstrate and celebrate deep respect for mankind hosted by Molly Finn. In this episode, Molly welcomes Anne Fox, the president of Mass Citizens For Life, to discuss the latest developments in pro-life issues in Massachusetts, including doctor-prescribed suicide.

Close to Home airs on Worcester Cable Access (WCCA). WCCA TV is a public access TV station and community media center in Worcester, Massachusetts.

A new movie out on October 7 depicts the story of a recently discharged soldier who has found God and a new faith. He goes to work in a church reaching out to the community and discovers there’s an abortion facility across the street from the church. He tries to get people involved in closing it down, but meets resistance from all sides. Eventually he has to make a choice whether to put everything in his life on the line or walk away from the babies who are Voiceless.

There is not yet any group sponsoring a showing in Massachusetts, but if any of our members or supporters are interested in organizing to bring Voiceless to Massachusetts, the movie’s promoters provide a complete kit on their web site.

A new and powerful documentary on the house of horrors that was the abortion facility of Kermit Gosnell in Philadelphia will soon be available on iTunes. 

Dr. Mildred Jefferson was the first African-American woman to attend Harvard Medical School, and did so at age 20, which would have been a remarkable lifetime achievement if she’d done nothing further. But her true mark on our nation and our Commonwealth came in her work for Massachusetts Citizens for Life as one of our founders and as she traveled and spoke throughout the country, converting many thousands to the pro-life cause, including President Ronald Reagan. 

You can learn more about this amazing woman’s life work in the following profile of Dr. Jefferson from the National Right to Life Committee.

Starting tonight, PBS is offering a new series about the first 9 months of our lives and what happens from conception to birth. It’s called “9 Months That Made You” and was produced by the BBC.

While we can’t expect a public broadcasting program to be explicitly pro-life and anti-abortion, from a pro-life perspective anything that highlights to a national audience the reality of the humanity of the unborn child is welcome. We encourage you to watch with a critical eye and to be prepared to share with others the beauty of life and to offer an alternative to any parts of the show that may not entirely jibe with the reality of the personhood of the unborn.

The 2014 Pro-Life Convention was jam-packed with information this year.  Talks on human reproduction, sex-education in Massachusetts, and Doctor-Prescribed Suicide helped to educate the state’s pro-life activists on some of the most pressing issues of the day.
