Title: End the Lies Campaign
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Jay Hobbs
with Pregnancy Help News (www.pregnancyhelpnews.com)
Part 1 of 2
The nation’s top abortion supremacy group, NARAL Pro-Choice
America, has launched a new campaign, “End the Lies”, along with a
website dedicated to slandering life-saving pregnancy centers and
ultrasound-equipped medical clinics.
Jay Hobbs is the Editor in Chief of Pregnancy Help News. He has also been on
staff at Heartbeat International since 2012, currently serving as the Director
of Communications and Marketing.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What is the “End the Lies” campaign?
Is this new campaign a treasure trove of unfounded claims and senseless vitriol
NARAL has conjured up over the past two decades?
Example: A women is in the midst of an unplanned pregnancy. She Googles
“pregnancy help” and a nearby pro-life pregnancy center is the first to pop up
on her screen. Why does NARAL view this as offensive and bad?
Have abortion advocates ever presented testimony from clients of a pro-life
crisis pregnancy center showing how the client was harmed?
Do ALL women who visit a crisis pregnancy center choose life? Do they still
report that they had a good experience even if they choose abortion?

Discussed by Jay Hobbs
with Pregnancy Help News (www.pregnancyhelpnews.com)

centers, but thousands more testify to the unspeakable pain and regret of
abortion and the horrible conditions inside an abortion mill.

Why do some Judges believe the lies from NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and other
pro-abortion activists?

nationwide.

Title: Ridiculous Arguments from Pro-Choice People
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Jay Hobbs
with Pregnancy Help News (www.pregnancyhelpnews.com)
Thankfully, many people are beginning to see the truth about abortion and are
now advocating for more help for those considering abortion. However, there are
still those who believe abortion is the only answer. In fact, the sad reality is
they actually celebrate abortion.
Today, Joy Hobbs, with Pregnancy Help News, will reveal the three most
outrageous claims the left has made in recent weeks concerning abortion.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Do those saying abortion is acceptable truly believe their claims? Do their
statements add up?
Do pro-choicers dislike the term “unborn baby”? Listen as Jay Hobbs reads
directly from a Salt Lake Tribune article regarding statements a Utah Senator
made.
What are they now calling unborn babies?
Do pro-choicers believe women deserve informed consent and ultrasounds before
they have an abortion?
The pro-choice crowd lobbies relentlessly against Choose Life license plates.
But, now, in California, they want a Pro-Choice license plate! What’s the
difference?

Title: A True Story of Abortion and Recovery
Topic: Abortion Recovery
Discussed by Cindy Irizarry
with Pregnancy Help News (www.pregnancyhelpnews.com)
Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young
children. Issues discussed might be upsetting or hard for little ones to
understand.
Decades ago, a 20-year old, naïve, confused, and very fearful young lady
grappled with how to deal with her unplanned pregnancy. She was a rising star,
very bright, and in a long relationship with her then-boyfriend. However, they
both agreed that the only logical option to choose was abortion.
That young lady has grown into a wonderful, passionate woman who wishes to share
her story with as many people as possible. New guest Cindy Irizarry is with us
today to offer hope and healing to anyone who has experienced the pain of an
abortion or may know someone who has.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
The aftermath of a committed, lengthy relationship left Cindy with an unplanned
pregnancy. Was marriage discussed?
Cindy’s boyfriend drove her to the abortion clinic. Was he supportive in the
decision to abort their child?
Cindy has actually had three abortions. None were “easier” than the other.
Listen in as Cindy describes the inside of an abortion clinic and the physical
and emotional pain she experienced after her abortions. “I was a wreck
emotionally and mentally,” she recalls. “There is something that
happens with the conscience of a woman…it plays with your emotions.”
Did the abortion clinic offer post-abortive counseling?
How has Cindy found healing?
Abortion is final for both the mom and the baby. Why should we double down to
help save babies and the grieving mothers? “It’s not like buying a pair of
shoes, deciding you don’t like them, and returning them to the store,” Cindy
believes. It’s also a mutual decision between the mother and the father.

Title: Republican Governor Does the Unthinkable
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Jay Hobbs
with Pregnancy Help News (www.pregnancyhelpnews.com)
Illinois Governor, Republican Bruce Rauner, has done the
unthinkable. He recently signed into law a bill that was pushed by
Democrats! And, no, it was not a “good” bill.
Jay Hobbs, with Pregnancy Help News, will be discussing HB1564 and all
the dirty little tricks which the Dems slipped into the bill.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
In Illinois, what is the new state-preferred choice for women in unexpected
pregnancies?
The new Illinois law (effective Jan. 1, 2017) requires – and forces – medical
professionals in all capacities, including Crisis Pregnancy Centers, to
go against their deeply held religious conscience by referring patients for
abortions and counseling patients on what the legislation calls the “benefits”
of abortion.
Read that again, friends. All medical professionals must refer women to a local
abortion clinic and outline to the patient the “benefits” of abortion.
What does science tell the observer about the significance of uniting a sperm
cell with the egg cell within a female human?
What can we do?

Title: SCOTUS Spoke. Now it’s Time We Did, Too.
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Kirk Walden
with Pregnancy Help News (www.pregnancyhelpnews.com)
The Supreme Court had its say. We still have ours. Let’s get to
work.
New guest Kirk Walden is with Pregnancy Help News. He will be
discussing three action steps for those asking, “What can we do now?” Kirk can
be found here.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Kirk is an unabashed, unapologetic, undaunted pro-life activist. He was
understandably upset when he learned of the recent SCOTUS decision concerning
HB2. Listen in as he describes those moments.
What are the three action steps which you can implement now to further the
pro-life mission?
Do abortion clinics really “sell” the killing of babies? “A woman doesn’t
wake up in the morning wanting to go to an abortion center,” Kirk believes.
That is why Pregnancy Help News and other centers like theirs are so
important.
In fact, if only one-fifth of pro-life supporters gave $100 to their local
pregnancy help center, they could double the average centers budget in one day.
If you can’t give $100, you can probably $20. If you don’t think that amount
matters, think again. $20 can go a long, long way.

Is it the responsibility of every mom and dad to protect their children from
carrying more than they can handle?
As moms and dads, when should we pass off the responsibility of that load to our
