Vitae
Foundation Bus Ads
The Vitae
Foundation places ads in buses in Washington,
DC which direct abortion-minded women to seek help at
the local pregnancy centers—Vitae’s ads are
essential for the pregnancy centers to have contact
with these women! They are launching a Spring 2011 DC
Bus Campaign - 5,500 posters will be placed in 200 DC
Metro buses to serve the DC and parts of Montgomery
County. (26 posters line the inside of each bus.) The
ads say “Free
Abortion Alternatives”
with the numbers of the local pregnancy centers listed.
When Vitae ran a Spring 2009 Washington, DC Bus
Campaign—The ads directly generated 2,300
phone calls and saved 150 lives! The babies
saved were counted when mothers followed through with
repeated counseling at the pregnancy center.
Additional, countless lives were most likely saved
through phone counseling. Vitae’s Fall
2010 DC Bus Campaign generated over 1000 calls and has
saved over 100 lives! The calls are still coming
in!

I beg you to save the life of the unborn baby
that I have spiritually adopted,
and is in danger of abortion.

“Will to Live”
vs. “Living Will”
Sometimes a living will can restrict you in unintended
ways. For example, if you write that you
never want to be on a ventilator, there may
be a circumstance where you need it to help you for a
short time. National Right to Life has sample documents of
a “Will to Live” for each state in the U.S.
which will protect you in these circumstances. Details:
Will to Live.
