Pro Life Logic

The team from Live Action took to the streets of San Jose in July to exercise a bit of pro life logic at a local music festival. What they found (and what most of us have experienced) is that most people have never really thought through their stance on abortion. What an opportunity we (could) have to witness to the culture of life and the dignity of the human person (if only we took it).

With a few guiding principles, the Live Action team reasoned their way through the pro abortion distortion:

1. It is wrong to take the life of an innocent human being.
2. Abortion takes the life of an innocent human being. (Which is scientific fact, not opinion).

therefore ...

Abortion is wrong.

Watch this 2 minute interview to see how using these simple steps can actually illuminate the truth to a receptive heart. At the end of this conversation, one more person was converted to the pro-life cause.




Every person is an opportunity to evangelize. Certainly some are more receptive than others, but in times like these, we have to do our best to convert the hearts of those who are
willing. How can we not testify to the beauty and truth of life?

Are you ready to stand for life? Be solid in Truth.

Silent Holocaust Memorial Wall


50 Million have died since 1973 through legalized abortion in the United States. Convenience has triumphed over personhood and human dignity.

Adopt a life (that was not allowed to live) into your family. Give an aborted child your last name. Add their name to the silent holocaust memorial wall. Support personhood.

Be a voice for the voiceless.


Refuse to be silent, for the time for complacency has passed.

01.24.10 Hear the Sisters of Life Speak at OLOP

OLOP|YA is excited to announce that the Sunday following the Walk for Life in San Francisco (Sunday, January 24) the Sisters of Life will be with us at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in Santa Clara.

Sunday, January 24th at 6:30 p.m. the Sisters of Life (from New York) will share with us the meaning of their charism: "To protect and enhance the dignity of human life."

Join us in listening to them talk about the dignity of human life, share how they spend their days ministering to pregnant women, and hear the stories of the graces they have received through the women they have served, as Religious Sisters on the front lines of the Pro-Life cause.

It's going to be a great way to spend the day after the Walk for Life!

Join us!
