You know I um...
uh... i've been talking to Johnny...
you know..I've talked about this a
little bit to some civil rights leaders
 from the 1960s, mainly because of the
Maafa project and Eugenics, which they
knew about
back in those days.
One of the things that you keep
hearing from these guys is that
there may have been people out on the
front lines, in the in the newspaper, that
have got all the publicity and the NAACP
and organizations like that;
but that the real heavy lifting was done
behind the scenes by people who were not
on television and who were just
doing the day-to-day grunt work of the
of the pro of the uh...
civil rights movement.
You know you see that in the
pro-life movement too, it's not always the
people who are on television or, you
know, in congress or
uh... large national organizations in
Washington D.C.
Most of them are figure heads and they
really don't do a whole lot.
uh...
I came across this story the other day
that was uh...
I think is pretty neat from Alabama.
uh... A woman named Vicki Klein
and...
she's um... a sidewalk counselor- she just
walked back and forth
in front of the abortion clinic
trying to talk to women who are going in
and and uh...
and she saves babies by
occasionally talking one out of it.
She's been going to the same abortion
clinic and she's been that sidewalk
everyday
for 33 years.
The level of commitment of something
like that is
mind-boggling when you think about it;
and we've got people all over the
country
who are
doing things like this and who are
dedicated this. We all see them
if you travel around the different
pro-life groups in different.. you see
these people and some of them...
live in poverty because of their
commitment.
You know these are the best people
in the world. (Right.) I met them.
They're fantastic folks. Whether they
are doing sidewalk counseling or
some other thing they're
committed to it
and they stay with it and they,
you know, sacrifice for it. 
You know there is always a few
people in pro-life movement that know
about them, know who they are.
Like in North Carolina we have a group
called Cremore sisters. They're three older
ladies that have been constantly in front of
an abortion clinic in Washington for
years. You know. Well I was in um...
uh... Boise, Idaho
several years ago (that's been many 
years ago),
doing a speech at one of their banquets
or something and
they had a picture up on the wall
of...
it was just snow- in front of this
abortion clinic.
And these footprints
uh... you could tell had been going
back and forth
and it was uh... a uh...
and nun
who prayed the rosary in front of this
abortion clinic every day until she died.
Somebody had taken it when she was
only person there. The snow was
knee deep, but she had been out
there walking back and forth. You can see
where they just took a picture
of the of the sidewalk where she had walked
in the snow. I thought that was so
neat.
Find out now what
what you can bring to the table.
You know i have people calling all the
time and say, "How do you
become active in the pro-life
movement?" and what I tell them is
I took a personal and inventory. What
am I good at and what am I bad at.
I'm going to avoid bad things and let
somebody else do those.
Whatever i'm good at, i'm going to try
to figure out how I can make that work
inside the pro-life movement.
and
Everybody can do something. Everybody can
do something.
You know
you never know where all this leads,
and I mentioned 
the um...
nun who
walks back and forth. You see her
foots steps in the snow there,
uh... that was so many years ago, that
the babies that she saved are now adults.
(Right.)
and
I bet you that the vast majority of them
don't even know
that their mother was just yards away
from paying some goon
to kill them.
You know they don't even have any
idea about that,
but God knows it,
they don't know it and this nun may have
died without knowing
how effective she was. Most
pro-lifers don't. Imagine we never get to see
the lives that we've impacted. (Right.
 We never know.) Rarely. Every once in
a while you do.  I've had a couple
of these instances like that but uh...
generally you don't.
You have to go on faith. You have to
believe
what we're doing makes a difference
and everybody can do something. I'm
telling you can people can make a
tremendous difference-
we see this on a daily basis
but this happens
across the country, where you have people
like this.
and uh... Don't get discouraged over the
fact that
uh...
the Komen people
get what they get. We can bring
that up as an argument or debating point
or as a point of interest, but don't
let that discourage you
and don't let their success...
I mean of the Bible even talked
about that, why the wicked
prosper. Well, you know
that's above your pay-grade-
don't worry about it.
Fret not thyself of evil doers. Right.
Exactly, the usual point of fact we can
be encouraged on, and that is that
abortion clinics
are now about 600 but the crisis
pregnancy center model is about
3,500 in the United States.
So we have vastly outnumbered the
abortion clinics.
When I started Life Dynamics in
1992, we had a mailing list
because we mailed things to abortion clinics
across the country...
There were 2,126
today there are about 600; and
so two-thirds of them-
over two-thirds have permanently
closed in that length of time.
Don't think for a minute that we're not
winning, we are winning.
The battle is getting more vicious- we've
talked about that here.
The closer we get to beating these
people the more vicious they're going to
become.
To any of this we, gotta keep going.
We gotta keep putting up the billboards,
people gotta keep standing on the road side.
We gotta call their bluff on it.
