SIGN UP to minister at the Des Moines Planned Parenthood

What is Sidewalk Advocacy?

The Vision

That peaceful, prayerful, loving, and law-abiding sidewalk outreach be present outside every abortion and abortion-referral facility in the U.S. and beyond, redirecting all to life-affirming alternatives, thereby ending abortion

The Mission

To train, equip, and support communities in sidewalk advocacy: to be the hands and feet of Christ, offering loving, life-affirming alternatives to all present at abortion and abortion-referral facilities, thereby eliminating demand and ending abortion

This approach has a proven track record and has saved countless babies across the country.

In addition, we are are organizing people to regularly pray outside the abortion mill in Des Moines Iowa at 2304 University Avenue.

This is something tangible you can do to end the scourge of abortion. So many women don't really want to end their child's life but feel they have no options. Sidewalk Advocates are present to offer loving alternatives to these vulnerable women. And we pray.

Abortions are conducted at this facility. Please find a partner to go with you and sign up for this powerful mission on our calendar below. We want as much coverage as possible. Call Maggie at 515-255-4113 with any questions or email her at mdewitte@pulseforlife.org
