It’s Time for the Miraculous!
By Karen Garnett, Executive Director
There has never been a more
urgent time to be a part of the
pro-life movement, the greatest
human rights campaign in
history. God has blessed us in so
many ways up to this point, and
we look forward to His continued
blessings in the years to come.
As we keep our eyes on what is taking place
nationally and internationally, we can never lose
sight that the abortion holocaust is first and
foremost a local holocaust. We are called to do
everything we can to combat the culture of death
and bring an end to the killing in our community.
As we approach the four-decade mark of the battle,
with 51 million lives already lost in our country, a
Among the blessings, we still face the sober reality message has been resonating across our

4,000 Stand Up Against Late-Term Abortions in Dallas
The battle at 8616 Greenville Avenue is still
being waged through peaceful prayer, silent
witness and community outreach outside the
Southwestern late-term abortion center in
north Dallas. This facility opened its doors in
October 2009 and has been killing babies
through six months of pregnancy ever since.
The facility is run by long-time abortionist
Curtis Boyd, who has a deep-rooted abortion
history in Dallas since 1973. Boyd admitted to
Channel 8 News that he has performed 300,000
abortions since that time. But his victims are
not just the unborn. Among the dead in his
record is 22-year-old Vanessa Preston, who
died in 1980 from complications after having
an abortion performed by Boyd. Preston left
behind a husband and another small child.
Boyd continues to perform abortions today.
The CPLC responded to this wound on the
community by sponsoring a 2009-10 Winter
4,000 Stand Vigil
for Life!

Continuing the fight for life, the Dallas faithful
appeared in the thousands to pray in front of
this facility as part of the 2010 Fall 40 Days for
Life campaign. The campaign kicked off with 40

On Saturday, April 10, 2010, more than 2,300 people gathered to celebrate ―The Splendor of the Gospel of Life‖ and to listen to
keynote speaker Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston and Chairman of the U.S. Bishops‘ Committee on
Pro-Life Activities, and special guest Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood Director. Facing one of the most challenging years
in the pro-life movement, the crowd was inspired and energized to continue their devoted support of building a Culture of Life in
North Texas and beyond!

―Abortions do not happen
in the White House. They
do not happen in the halls
of Congress. They happen
here, in our community,
in our backyards, and we
have got to be there to
spread the message of
Christ, and to spread the
message of hope to these
men and women who feel
like there is no hope for
them.‖ – Abby Johnson,

Largest Boot Camp Ever Sees Abortion Center Worker Quit!
Over 100 pro-life youth attended this year‘s Youth For Life
Pro-Life Boot Camp hosted by the Catholic Pro-Life
Committee of Dallas and Catholics Respect Life Ministry of
Fort Worth. Held July 30th-August 4th, the Boot Camp
theme was ―It‘s a Revolution — Theology of the Body.‖
Youth traveled from multiple states to hear pro-life
testimonials and expert presentations on the Theology of
the Body and other pro-life issues, as well as participating
in Mass and volunteer projects.
Among the pro-life skills the youth learn at Boot Camp is
sidewalk counseling, including on-the-street training, while
peacefully praying at local abortion centers. This year, that
training brought with it amazing blessings. While the
youth prayed outside an abortion center, a worker exited,
approached a chaperone and said, ―I quit!‖ Another
abortion worker expressed her desire to do the same and
entered a continuing dialogue with Monica Ashour, co-
founder of the Theology of the Body Evangelization Team
(TOBET). At another abortion center where the youth
prayed, four babies were saved when their mothers chose
life, no doubt moved by the incredible witness of our youth
standing up for their little brothers and sisters in the womb.

It Started Here. Let’s End it Here!
With the largest crowd ever assembled in Dallas history in memorial of the tragic
Roe v. Wade decision, the mood at the 2010 Roe Memorial Mass, Rally and Dallas
March for Life seemed more intense, the need for change more clear.
The Routh Street abortion center on North Central Expressway in Dallas saw 500
people descending from shuttle buses to pray the Rosary at 8 a.m. before heading
to the downtown Cathedral for the pro-life Memorial Mass, where the crowd
overflowed to the seating adjacent to the church and even outside.
After Mass, 6,000 pro-life witnesses processed to the Earle Cabell Courthouse in downtown Dallas where Roe began. At
the rally, Bishop Kevin Farrell told the cheering crowd, ―We must never give up! Fifty million people have already lost
their lives because too many people have stood on the sidelines on this issue for too long!‖
This year‘s Roe Memorial Mass, Rally and Dallas March for Life will be
Saturday, January 22, 2011 — exactly 38 years to the day from the tragic
decision legalizing abortion in America and leading to the death of 51 million
unborn children. Join Bishops Farrell, Vann, Seitz and Deshotel, diocesan
clergy, and thousands of people of faith to pray for an end to abortion in our
city, state and country, to witness publicly, and rally and march for a Culture of
Life! (See schedule of Roe Memorial Events on p. 12.)
Help us meet the Bishop’s challenge of 10,000 marching for life in
2011! Visit www.prolifedallas.org/roe for more information.

mountain of each of the five remaining abortion centers in
Dallas to stop killing or move out, the mountains of entire
congregations being awakened and mobilized to defend life.
We‘re already seeing major miracles: more than 4,000
faithful came out to pray during the Fall 40 Days for Life Vigil
outside the Southwestern late-term abortion center; an
abortion center worker quit while our youth were praying
outside during summer Boot Camp; more mothers‘ lives are
being transformed through our GEMS program; and the most
miraculous of all — our sidewalk counselors helped the most
mothers ever to choose life for their babies outside the
Dallas abortion centers: 536 turnaways, and an additional
422 ―hopeful turnaways‖ in 2010! Praise our awesome God,
Who is mighty to save!
We begin this new year — the Year for the Miraculous — firmly
resolved to furthering this great mission tasked to us all. We‘ll
begin this month with what I am sure will be the largest
turnout ever seen for the Dallas March for Life on
January 22nd. Bishop Farrell has issued the call to see at
least 10,000 pro-lifers marching with him in the city where
Roe began. It‘s time for the miraculous — let‘s see it happen!
Thank you for your continued prayers, participation, and
support. God bless you — and bring the miraculous in 2011!
