40 Days for Life is an international organization that campaigns against abortion in more than 60 nations worldwide. It was originally started in 2004 by members of the Brazos Valley Coalition for Life in Texas. The Beginning of the End of Abortion. This year close to 200 abortion clinics have closed including the headquarters in Houston along with the largest Planned Parenthood clinic in the US (Manhattan). Planned Parenthood is losing their funding, and this is a huge win for the Pro-life movement. The fight is not over yet. The abortion movement is really good at killing babies and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep it up. This is serious business with a serious consequence. Please go to https://www.40daysforlife.com/siouxfalls or reach out to our local 40 Days Leader, Veronica Fritz, to sign up for a time to pray at the sidewalk.

SPREADING THE MESSAGE OF LIFE

Since placing our first billboards in March of 2019 Sioux Falls Area Right to Life has placed 28 billboards which have created over 20 million positive Pro Life impressions in and around Sioux Falls. Our hope is that through these inspirational messages the sanctity of Life is lifted up and others are educated that life does in fact begin before birth.

The FIRST placement of a Permanent Pro-Life Billboard was first located on a cold day in January, 2020 and completed Dec. 23rd, 2021. With the help of many dedicated volunteers, including donated equipment and poles, and in cooperation with local and state governments, our vision for a permanent message was realized. We offer special thanks to the couple who donated the land and site along I-29 north of Dell Rapids, SD.

Do you want to help? We are now looking for 3 more spots of commercial land east, west and south of Sioux Falls. Donations towards the next three signs are very welcome. Please let us know if you or your organization would like to support these efforts. You can do so for as little as $250 when you partner in this community outreach and education initiative. Together, let's make this year one for LIFE!

(For tax deduction purposes, make checks out to "South Dakota Right to LIFE Education Fund" and memo "SF Billboards".)

Honoring the Unborn imageHonoring the Unborn imageHonoring the Unborn image
The pink and blue crosses represent the number of baby girls and boys whose lives were lost to abortion in SD, according to the latest number by the SD Dept. of Health (2022, published in June, 2023).There were 137 abortions performed in South Dakota in 2022, down from 192 abortions in the previous year. Praise God that because of the Dobbs decision on June 24, 2022, abortions in SD are only legal to save the life of the mother. Be in prayer for the mothers and fathers who made the unwise decision to end their child’s life. Also, pray that our state remains a pro-life sanctuary for the unborn. Please Decline to Sign the petition that would amend our state constitution and legalize abortion up to birth (and vote No in Nov., 2024.)

The truth about RU-486 aka "The Pill"

The truth about RU-486 aka "The Pill"

Now legal for use in our country, RU-486 (mifepristone) kills an unborn baby 5-7 weeks old by blocking food and oxygen so that the baby eventually starves or suffocates to death.

This video is causing quite a stir. While the video creates a buzz .... Planned Parenthood doesn't know how to respond.

That's because the video includes footage of a scene Planned Parenthood does NOT want you to see: testimony from its own representative asserting the right to kill a baby who survives a botched abortion.

Keep the pressure on and expose Planned Parenthood's agenda by sharing this video with EVERYONE you know.
