Tonight on CNN & Fox News – Watch the Image Many Don’t Want the World to See

Once upon a time, back when tens of thousands of people were permitted to gather together side-by-side, the sound of a baby’s heartbeat and the sight of his tiny pre-born form silenced a crowd gathered in New York City’s Times Square on a sunny Saturday afternoon in May.

It’s been called the “Times Square Miracle” – the culmination of “Alive from New York,” Focus on the Family’s pro-life event in May of last year that featured a live 4D ultrasound broadcast on four jumbotrons in mid-town Manhattan.

We’re Going to Show the World What Planned Parenthood Doesn’t Want You to See

If I could, I’d love to bring you behind-the-scenes of Focus on the Family’s SEE LIFE 2020 production.

Since early this summer, the team’s been hard at work interviewing and filming many of the leading voices in the pro-life movement today:

Abby Johnson, Lila Rosa, Alveda King, Christina Bennett, Candace Owens, Mike Singletary, Jeanne Mancini and Melissa Ohden.

The team spent a week in Nashville recording soul-stirring, life-themed music with Selah, Phil Stacey and Danny Gokey – and many others.

Honoring the Preborn: Cerian’s Story

Sara Williams and her husband, Paul, have learned how to trust God by walking through the fires of suffering.

A routine 20-week pregnancy scan revealed a problem. Sarah’s baby had a lethal skeletal issue called thanatophoric dysplasia, a malformity of the skeletal structure where the bones don’t develop sufficiently to allow the proper development of the lungs. The baby was safe inside the womb but would die at birth or shortly thereafter.

Sarah remembers the shock of hearing that the best medical recommendation for her situation was to terminate the life of her baby.

VIDEO: This 12-Year-Old Boy Saved 50 Babies – So Far

105

Don’t let anybody ever tell you that kids can’t do big and significant things.

I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of meeting some remarkable children in my lifetime. In fact, I met one just last week here at Focus on the Family.

His name is Sawyer Hagberg, and he is 12 years old.

Sawyer was playing a video game one day this past summer when a Focus on the Family video came on. It’s a special spot we created to help call attention to our SEE LIFE 2020 online event that’s scheduled for Saturday September 26th at 8 P.M.

Who Counts as One of Us?

The abortion debate is framed in many ways. And almost all of them avoid the central question: Who counts as one of us?

Are the preborn alive or not? Are they living human beings or not? In most cases, pro-abortion factions avoid addressing those questions. They frame the discussion around choice, individual rights, and the safety of medical procedures. But no one answers that central question.

We’re answering today on our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Who Counts as One of Us?

Why I Left the Abortion Industry

In 2019, Focus on the Family hosted an event called Alive from New York. Thousands gathered in Times Square to hear speakers and musicians proclaim the name of Jesus and the sanctity of human life.

Protesters showed up as well. They were a vocal minority … until they were silenced by the star of the event: a baby inside the womb. A holy hush fell over Times Square when we performed a live ultrasound and broadcast the heartbeat over loudspeakers.
