2024: Pro-Life “To Do” List
When was the last time you came up with a to-do list? It may be house chores, shopping, or
other errands.
2024 can be a year where the culture of life can be built in your community. All it takes is
putting your best foot forward. Here are eleven things to do in 2024 to end abortion:
1. Attend the March for Life or Walk for Life
The annual March for Life in DC is still happening. Yet, it is taking place around the Roe
anniversary. Thankfully we will have it again in a post-Roe era on January 19 th . Make plans to
attend now. Too far from DC? San Francisco will have their Walk for Life on January 20 th
marking its 20th anniversary.
2. Take part in a Pro-life Vigil
The most effective way to step into the breach of ending abortion is to be outside of abortion
facilities praying alone or with others. Bring your rosary, have holy water and blessed salt, and
bring love to a place of desperation to the women and men entering the places of death.
3. Be a Trained Sidewalk Advocate
The sidewalk needs a loving, caring pro-lifer that will not judge or spill hatred to anyone walking
in the abortion facility. Rather, they will offer love and support to women in their hour of great
need.
4. Put Forth Real Pro-Life Candidates
Let’s face it. We are tired of the same old, same old. We do need to elect real pro0life men and
women who are willing to fight tooth and nail for life from womb to tomb. It all begins with
unseating incumbents and being the boot on the ground for the pro-life candidate that can
change the status quo whether on the state or federal level.
5. Write to a Pastor
It is time for the clergy to speak up. The pulpits should be a space where the pastor, priest,
minister, and even bishops put the fear of God in their churchgoers. It begins when they speak
the truth without any mental reservation. It’s time for the clergy to be more vocal on the issue
of life. Jesus would have done it. Why not the church and its leaders?
6. Make a Holy Hour for Life
The most effective way to pray for an end to the culture of death is to watch with Jesus for one
hour in adoration. Even Mother Teresa foresaw when every faithful Catholic is committed to a
holy hour each week for an end to abortion.
Be sure to pray a rosary and divine mercy chaplet during that hour of adoring Jesus in the
Blessed Sacrament.
7. Have a prayer campaign for abortion workers
Every so often the name of the abortion worker or volunteer would surface. Instead of judging
them as they enter the facility, be sure to offer the next prayer for his or her conversion. Look
at Bernard Nathanson, Abby Johnson, Zachary Taylor, et al; they left the abortion facility thanks
to the prayers of loving pro-lifers. The prayers of those who are out there make a difference.
8. Lobby for Life
The culture of death is not resting. They will stop it nothing to ram abortion down our throats.
Some states have a pro-abortion majority, and the 2024 election is critical to change the tide.
All that we must do is double our efforts. For pro-lifers, we can take a critical step by getting
involved with politics.
9. Canvass for Life
Susan B Anthony and Students for Life will hit the ground running in many battleground states
to ensure pro-life candidates are elected from state to federal levels. A critical part is for many
pro-lifers in their teens and young adulthood to step up to the plate. Can they count on you?
10. Write pro-life stories
The critical part in forming minds of young people is the content they read. Sadly, there is not
much out there for them. We do need pro-lifers to convey the message of life through
storytelling.
11. Make pro-life film
We do need more movies that promote a culture of life. Have we had enough of the saturation
from the entertainment industry? Film festivals need more movies with a pro-life them in it that
will get people to think.
Happy 2024. Make it a big year for life.
