There's much discussion about when to kill an unborn baby. How many weeks, what method, etc? The important issue is that an aborted baby is DEAD! What difference does it make as to when. Some are concerned as to when the baby feels pain. Again, what difference does it make? An aborted baby is DEAD! We, as humans, have the breath of God breathed into us; therefore, we have the right to live. It's not ours to take away. The abortion pill is also taking the life of many mothers. They are not being told as to the dangers of “taking the pill”. More of our tax dollars are being used for killing unborn babies.
Remember to pray every day to stop the killing of the unborn, and for our Nation to turn back to Godly principles.
June, 2023
Next meeting will be June 5, 2023 at Switz City Baptist Church. 7:00 pm
The July meeting will be the 4th of July parade at Linton, decorating the float. We have no details concerning the parade as of yet.
Thanks to all who took part in the Rally at the Courthouse Lawn on May 6. Much appreciation to those who attended. Comments were that it was the best yet.
Mark your calendar for our Fall Dinner on October 21, 6:30 pm at the Knights of Columbus Building, 450 E St NE, Linton.
The Every Door Direct Mailing has now been completed. You should have received yours by now. With postage rates going up, the price was somewhat higher than before; however, approximately 16,224 pieces got into the boxes of Greene County residents. That’s thousands more than the projected reading of the local newspapers with about the same price.. We have gotten some negative feedback, so we know they were being seen. It’s our prayer that unborn babies lives were saved, negative hearts were changed and, pro-life hearts were strengthened.
We have a new group of crosses and a sign which reads, “Each cross stands for over 10 million babies killed by abortion since 1973.” The sign is 4 ft x 3.6 ft painted plywood. They are available to be put in your yard. There’s a picture on the webpage:www.greenecorighttolife.weebly.com. Let’s do all we can to save the preborn babies!!
Many states are taking a stand to ban abortions completely. Pray for Indiana! The battle between good and evil is getting more intense. Many people think abortion is a political issue, but when the president of our nation seeks to expand and promote abortion, it’s a moral/spiritual battle.
If you would like to financially support Greene County Right to Life, send a check to the above address. Thank you so much!

This week we were reminded of a situation which happens too often. A woman was attending church, never realizing or understanding (or hearing) the ramifications of abortion. Preachers/ Pastors, you have an awesome opportunity/responsibility to let the truth be known about abortion. Yes, there is a baby from the moment of conception. (Carol was asked one time by an older lady if she really thought there was a baby in the early stages of pregnancy.) YES, ABSOLUTELY!!!
It is reported there are 139 Safe Haven Baby Boxes in Indiana!! Praise God!!

The decision has been made to do a mass, all-county mailing between Mother's Day and Father's Day instead of putting the full-page ads in the county papers. The consensus was that getting mail in each mailbox would possibly be more effective than the chance of people reading the ad in the papers. The mailing will address both Mother's Day and Father's Day. The cost will be about the same, but getting a mailing in each mailbox will give many more people the opportunity to read the information.
An article came out recently alluding to the fact that you can't outgive God. That article was using the financial aspect of that statement. God can use your time, talents, abilities, and anything you can give back to Him as well. Your time, talents, abilities are all needed in saving the unborn. God will give back to you more than you give to Him. “Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” Malachi 3:10.When you put out efforts to help protect little ones who are at risk of abortion, you are giving to support life that is a creation from God. That's being a godly steward of resources He has so graciously given to you.
Greene County Right to Life wishes to thank all those who marched and stood on the sidewalk around the Courthouse on January 22. Many people that passed by showed their agreement. Even with the overturn of Roe v. Wade, there are still many abortions being done in Indiana. The public needs to be educated. We have yard signs, bumper stickers, window stickers, literature, many handouts and other means that can be used to help educate the public as to the dangers and atrocities of abortion; dangers not only to the baby, but also to the mother. Many mothers' lives are lost by the abortion pill, as it is so easily available. There is a pill that can reverse the abortion pill if taken within the time frame.
A tentative date of October 21 has been set for our fall dinner/banquet. More details will follow.
February, 2023
The February meeting will be February 6. The March meeting will be March 6, both at Switz City Baptist Church, 7:00 pm. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to stand up for what's right: the battle belongs to the Lord.
Join us January 22 for a walk around the Courthouse in Bloomfield to remember that abortion was made legal in our nation 50 years ago that day. More than 60 MILLION precious babies have lost their lives to abortion since that time. That's an unthinkable thought. God created and knows about each one of them. God forgive us of this atrocious SIN.
With the new Conservative leadership in our Federal House of Representatives, 6 bills have been put forth for approval that will help save the lives of the unborn:
- the heartbeat bill
- protect born alive survivors bill
- protect down syndrome babies bill
- save moms and babies act
- no taxpayer funds for abortions
- doctors would be given authority to refuse to do abortions
The Indiana Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Planned Parenthood's challenge to SB 1 on January 19 at 9 am EST. There is a link with which you can listen to the proceedings online. Contact Richard and Carol at the above email and we can send you that link.
The fight between good and evil is really heating up at this time. Be on the winning side!!! Read Psalms 139 to 146 and more for encouragement, guidance and strength in this Spiritual warfare.
January, 2023
The next meeting will be January 2, 2023, at Switz City Baptist Church, 7:PM
The February meeting will be February 6.
Membership cards for 2023 will be mailed out in February. We welcome the new members and look forward to input from all members as for setting the direction of Greene County Right To Life and what we can do for the unborn in 2023.
We are often accused of being only for the unborn babies and not caring for the mothers and fathers. That couldn't be any farther from the truth. When I think of hearing from those of the pro-choice position, I'm reminded they have no problem with destroying the baby girls in the womb. If that female baby, which, if given life, grows into a woman, the cry will be heard that a woman needs the right to choose. All babies have been granted life by God Almighty. It's not for us to take that life. The baby in the womb is a separate human being from its Mother. For those unable to speak for themselves, we must speak for them.
A march around the Courthouse on Sunday, January 22, 2023, is being planned, starting at 2:PM. Hot chocolate and cookies will be provided. Join us and stand up for the unborn! I know Roe has been reversed by our Supreme Court; however, abortion is still very legal in many of our states. Unfortunately, Indiana is still one of those states.
We have decided to have another Rally on the Courthouse lawn on May 6, 2023, if we can reserve that date. We have the process started, so watch for details.
For a lift of encouragement, read Psalm 1.
December, 2022
The next meeting of GCRTL will be December 5, Switz City Baptist Church, 6:30 pm, This will be our Christmas meal/party/meeting. Bring a vegetable, salad or dessert. The first meeting of the New Year will be January 2, 2023. Winter meetings are affected by the weather so if in doubt, call. 812-876-2544. At the meetings, we together decide the direction the organization is going. We need each ones input to help with that decision. We appreciate the financial contributions from those who give to help save the unborn. Pray that funds will be used wisely.
Another 4x8 sign is in the works to be put up on Highway 48 between Jasonville and Worthington. Thanks for being willing to stand for the pro-life message. We know of 2 babies whose lives have been saved by seeing the pro-life signs when on their way to Planned Parenthood, Bloomington, to have an abortion. Praise God!!
We're looking forward to putting up a booth at the home of Jeff and Hope Ellington's on December 2-3. Come see us there.
Thanks to those who have sent in Membership cards for 2023. Share the Pro-Life message with those around you. Our Mission Statement/goal is still to educate the people of Greene County of the Sanctity of Life and how precious it is to our Lord Almighty. May we fearlessly proclaim that message to those who think differently than we. Life is God's gift to us. Did you ever notice that those who are pushing abortion have not been aborted by their mothers? Many wonderful stories have been told by those whose mothers tried to abort them, but by the grace of God, they survived.
We can't let up on our fight for the unborn. Our fight may now be more important than ever. Just when I want to think that it can't get any worse, our leadership thinks up another way to include others in taking the lives of those not yet born; and sometimes those already born. We can't let up on our fight. When it gets bad enough, God will put a stop to it. Through this time we must remain faithful.
If you are on an email list and would rather receive a paper copy of this newsletter, please contact us. If you have moved or intend to move, please contact us. RTL has to pay full postage for every letter that is returned. Thank you.
November, 2022
The November meeting will be November 7, at Switz City Baptist Church, 7 PM. Join us and help us move forward with new ideas, volunteering and being a part of saving the unborn. Because of a member sharing the pro-life stand, another 4x8 sign is in the process of being put on a highly traveled highway. Your sharing with RTL financially helps put the pro-life message out where it will be seen.
The December meeting will be December 5 at Switz City Baptist Church, 6:30. This will be our Christmas party. Join us. There will be a pitch-in supper. Bring a vegetable, salad or dessert.
The opportunity is coming for Conservatives to let their voice be heard. More Conservatives need to be in our government offices; not those who say they are Conservative, and then vote to continue killing unborn babies, but those who will actually put their VOTE where it needs to be. Who knows how many lives have been lost in this world: a life that may have been another great inventor, another great evangelist, or a child for a couple who couldn't have their own and wished to adopt. The joys of adopting are precious to those who go through that process; as those of us who have had the privilege of having children also know that joy. Children are God's precious gift to us!!! Let us put those in our offices who will protect our children. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!
Greene County Right To Life had the privilege of meeting and talking with lots of people this summer at the local town festivals. Many thumbs-up were received, but the opportunity was there to speak with those who are pro-choice. We continue to pray for those who believe it's alright to take the life of the unborn for the sake of convenience, the wrong time or even the wrong sex. God has promised to be there for those who seek Him.
SAD NEWS:
The town of Bloomington has approved using taxpayer dollars for city employees to travel for abortions.
It's being reported that the number of abortions done in Bloomington are increasing.
Pray, Vote pro-life
August, 2022
Dear Right to Life Family,
Thank you so much for your prayers, thoughts, calls, help, cards and visits during Richard's surgery and recovery time. Recovery continues to be a work in progress. Thank God for His healing and all your concerns.
Our Supreme Court made the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, but that has, by no means, meant any end to abortion. (maybe saved a few). The decision has simply been put back in the hands of the States. In anticipation of this decision many states made provisions to stop abortions, while some chose to make sure it stays in place. Pray for our Indiana Legislators!!
Carol's position on abortion: in the case of the mother's life being at stake: the baby is taken by cesarean section, placed in an incubator, given time and nutrition as is done in the womb, then the mother is treated with whatever medical attention is necessary. The burden of support for the baby is taken from the medically ailing mother. In the case of rape or incest; the sin of the father is not the baby's fault, and the baby shouldn't have to face the pain of death because of the father's actions. Someone wants that baby and many would be glad to pay the expenses of giving birth to the baby.
Louie Kavanaugh is president of Davies County Right to Life and very much in need of our prayers. It was discovered that he has cancer of the blood stream. Very sick
Small-town festivals are being planned. Greene County Right to Life will intend to set up a booth at each one. More help is needed.
Newberry – August 20
Scotland – September 17
Apple Festival – October 7-9
