 More Awards
Announced: The 2014 West Coast Conference Defender of the Year Award Winners Are...
Last week, you heard about
our 2014 Students for Life National Conference Defender of Life Award
Recipients, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. Today, we are honored to
announce our
2014 West Coast Conference Defender of Life Award Recipients: Walter and
Lori Hoye!
Recognizing that “the impact of abortion in the
African American community is the Darfur of America,” the Hoyes have
courageously put themselves on the front lines of the abortion battle as
a
witness on the sidewalks of abortion facilities in California. Their
ministry has literally saved hundreds of lives.
Testifying to
the
power of their witness, their hometown of Oakland even passed an
ordinance in 2009 barring pro-lifers from coming within 8 feet of anyone
entering an
abortion facility – an ordinance that directly targeted the Hoye’s
pro-life outreach.
Because of the Hoye's firm pro-life
conviction, the Hoyes made a courageous decision. Walter violated the
ordinance putting the lives of those women and their preborn children
before his
own. He was arrested and sentenced to spend 30 days in jail, 2 years of
probation, and faced several fines.
It is for their exceptional
work and dedication to laying down their lives for the preborn that
Studens for Life of America is proud to honor Walter and Lori Hoye as
our
first-ever 2014 West Coast Defender of Life Award Recipients at SFLA’s
2014 West Coast Conference on January 26th.

 January Event-in-a-Box
41
years of legal abortion have passed and still the battle continues.
Abortion advocates continue
to lobby for so-called “safe, legal, and rare” abortion. However, we
know that today’s abortions are certainly legal, but neither
safe nor rare.
January is your opportunity to challenge your campus about the legality of abortion! Challenge your peers to recognize that
abortion is not safe nor moral. It is time to be the revolution that leads our nation towards a world without abortion.
This month’s
box includes the following materials: 5 Pro-Life Generation signs, SFLA flyers, and materials from Human Life Alliance.

 TONIGHT: A
New Dawn Webcast!
2013 was a pivotal year in the battle to SAVE lives from abortion and spare mothers and fathers a
lifetime of regret!
We witnessed everything from record youth
participation -- especially in the record-breaking crowd of 650,000 that
attended the annual Washington D.C. March for Life -- to record abortion
facility closures all across this country to another record year of
state
legislative initiatives passed ...and so much more!
We must continue to ride this momentum through 2014 and take advantage of this moment
in history to effect change in our culture and throughout our land!
Be sure to join Kristan Hawkins, Abby Johnson, Melissa Ohden and other
leaders for the A New Dawn Webcast TONIGHT at 9pm, est! Details here -->
