What does Pulse do, anyway?
Pulse executive director, Maggie DeWitte, testifies at the Capitol.
What does Pulse Life Advocates do day in and day out?
You may have given us money (thank-you!) and want to know how we use it.
You may be in a crisis pregnancy trying to figure out your next step.
Maybe you’re trying to sort out your feelings about the abortion issue and need hard data and insightful info on the emotional, physical, and spiritual implications of aborting unborn human beings.
Whatever the reason, Pulse is busy on behalf of unborn babies.
We believe in the dignity of human life from the instant of fertilization to natural death. To that end, we maintain an unrelenting schedule to end abortion in Iowa and beyond.
We engage with governors, legislators, media, churches, students, pastors, bishops, women in crisis pregnancies, men’s groups, women’s groups, schools, teachers, principals, moms, dads, grandparents, and more providing them factual information on the life and death issue of abortion.
Big Abortion may have us out-financed, but they certainly can’t out-hustle us!
