WASHINGTON, D.C., April 21, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The pro-life movement in America is growing in leaps and bounds, attracting young, zealous women to defend the unborn in droves - a fact that even the president of NARAL has now admitted.

Statement of Progress

Through the hard work of many Knights we have raised over $66,500 to date.

We now have the funds to buy 2 Ultrasound Machines, one 4 D Machine for the Long Beach Clinic and another for the New Mobile Clinic.
We submitted applications to our Supreme Office for the matching funds two weeks ago and should receive their check in the next few weeks.

We are about $4,000 short to buy a third Machine to be used in the Mission Viejo Clinic.

We should be able to raise this money before the end of April.

After the third machine is purchased we will meet to set a new goal.

Thank you to everyone who is making the Ultrasound Initiative possible.

By David Bereit, National Coordinator, 40 Days for LifeMarch 5, 2010 (40DaysforLife) - Last week, we reported on a young mother in Louisville, Kentucky who chose life for her baby after redeeming a coupon for a free ultrasound.

If you print out the flier below and bring it with you to a restaurant on the corresponding date, you can help support the Ultrasound Initiative just by going to dinner!We hope to see you there!

Hello and Welcome!

Thank you for being interested enough to come here to view our blog. Here is a brief description of the program. We hope you will be involved!

Last month, the Knights of Columbus – a Catholic fraternal organization of 1.7 million men – announced an amazing initiative to support the pro-life movement. Under their program, the national organization will provide a 100% match on funds raised by the local councils to purchase ultrasound machines for qualified pro-life pregnancy help centers. A local council is working with three other parish councils to raise money and support the purchase of no less than four ultrasound machines for Birth Choice, the pro-life clinic with multiple locations in our area of southern California.

Why This is Important
Nationwide over 75% of abortion minded women choose life for their babies after seeing their baby move in the womb and hearing the sound of its heartbeat. Since the day Birth Choice became a fully licensed medical clinic, they have had over 69,000 hits on their website, seen 29,538 clients in their clinics, performed over 2,800 ultrasounds and saved 1,576 babies that would have been aborted.

Participating in the Knights of Columbus Ultrasound Initiative will provide Birth Choice the needed tools to open the hearts of the thousands of young women they see yearly.

There Are Are Several Ways You Can Support This Wonderful Cause:
-Donate any amount you can provide through our PayPal account.*
-Mail a check made payable to The Knights of Columbus to:*

-Join us for "Family Knights Out" March 22nd - March 25th. Some of OC's greatest restaurants will be contributing a percentage of every meal purchased to the Ultrasound Initiative. Just print out the flier and take it to dinner with you... its a win-win-win!
-Help us spread the word! Tell your family and friends about this project that will help give every baby the chance to be born!
*-All donations are tax deductible.

The Birth Choice Clinics model is revolutionary in its comprehensive scope. As a result, the successful transition of abortion-minded mothers to mothers who have either kept or placed their baby in adoption, is among the highest in the nation.

You can join us in protecting the yet-to-be-born!
