Don't let this list discourage you. Choose the title that speaks most to you and start there.

National Right To Life News (NRLN) also has valuable information concerning current pro-life issues and legislation. The web site is http://www.nrlc.org. E-mail address is: nrlc@nrlc.org. Their phone number is: (202) 626-8000.

World, a Christian weekly newsmagazine, is excellent not only as a source for current abortion news but as a well needed alternative to secular news. I recommend it for those seeking a "Biblical worldview." Their E-mail address is: wldmailbag@aol.com and their phone is: (800) 951-6397.

We also recommend The Elliot Institute -- designed to help women cope with post-abortion trauma.
