Remembering Our 39th Anniversary and Bishop Rodgers
In November of 2005, Anglicans For Life (previously known as NOEL) hosted a lovely dinner during the Hope and a Future Conference in Pittsburgh, PA. This was an event that paved the way to the founding of the Anglican Church in North America.
Offering Abortion Travel Benefits Is an Act of Discrimination
After the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed the States to restrict abortions, some employers have trumpeted that they will pay an employee’s travel expenses (companion expenses included) if she must travel more than so many miles to terminate a pregnancy.
20 Years of Being Silent No More
I recently received a phone call from a woman who contacted the Silent No More Awareness Campaign to say ‘thank you’ for helping her face the truth of her abortion experience.

We want every person to have a relationship with Jesus, and to live the abundant life He came to bring – regardless of age or stage.
