Here is a call to action for all seekers, believers, and defenders of truth. I encourage all to watch these videos and join the fight to stand for morality, liberty, life, light, and Christ. These videos all feature Merrilee Boyack. She is one of my favorite nonfiction authors. (I read her book The Parenting Breakthrough years ago as a young mother. It totally revolutionized my life, giving me the mothering spine to enforce chores done by the children. That resulted in a much smoother, joyful mothering life. I also enjoyed her book about marriage.)

In the first video below, Merrilee shares the horrific fact that in the USA we have 200,000 elective abortions happening a day! This is the greatest evil of our time.

What can we do about this? We can start by talking about with others to raise awareness. She refers to an article here about Latter-day Saints shutting down conversations on abortion by saying, “We can’t talk about that, it’s political!” She explains what to say when people say that. “It’s not political, it’s doctrinal.” Elder Neil L. Andersen brought up this same phrase in a General Conference talk a year ago, which you can read here.

I appreciate her emphasis that we as women have a unique moral compass. She quotes President Russell M. Nelson from this article here.

The videos below show what we can do about this evil.

Thank you Merrilee for you tireless dedication to fighting this evil. Here is Merrilee’s site, Abortion Free Utah. Here is the Latter-day Saints for Life site. May all truth defenders everywhere be able to tell our posterity that we did something to stand up to this plague of evil.

If you want to learn one young woman’s story of having two abortions, and then going from working at Planned Parenthood, an abortion provider, to becoming a pro-life mother of 8, go here. Listen to her podcast here.
