Advancing Life and Liberty Through Action
Aug 3, 2024
Angele was afraid. “I had been terrorized ... I didn't feel I had any other choice,” she said.
A friend drove her to an Orlando abortion clinic. Of the three-drug cocktail for the abortion, Angele only received two. The abortionist skipped the injection into her baby’s heart to kill him. She came back the next day cramping, bleeding, and crying. The staff did nothing to help her.
Angele went into an adjoining bathroom and, while sitting on the toilet, delivered Baby Rowan.
“The moment I saw Rowan,” Angele said, “I cannot tell you the sickness that came over me and the self-loathing.” She continued, “I was miserable, sobbing. He was perfect, perfect ... just tiny.”
Then Rowan moved. Just his leg at first, and then he curled up his body, as if cold in the toilet water. Angele screamed for help. Staff came, and left, twice. So, Angele asked her friend to call 911.
I will never forget the day I met Baby Rowan. This is why we will never stop fighting to protect these helpless children. Liberty Counsel Action has launched a massive campaign to defend life, and we need your help. I will share the rest of the story below.

Angele’s friend told the 911 operator, “It's a women's clinic ... My friend is having an abortion and the baby was born alive ... They're not allowing her to use the phone there. They're wanting the baby to die!”
The operator’s reply was telling: “She wants the baby to live?”
“That's correct,” her friend said. “The baby was just born and it was alive, and they were wanting her to leave it in the toilet and, uh, just let it die, and she's not wanting that to happen.”
A paramedic, two EMTs, and two police officers responded, but clinic workers turned the ambulance away. About 20 minutes later, the first responders left.
The official report claims, “No patient found.” The call was reclassified as “disturbing the peace.”
Angele spent the next few moments cradling Rowan until he died.
When I first saw Rowan at the morgue, he was in a shoebox on the mortician’s slab. I held the hand of this precious child with my thumb and index finger. He was 21-23 weeks. He could have lived.

Compare Baby Rowan to Baby Samuel. While the surgeon was operating on Samuel in his mother’s womb, he reached out and grasped the finger of the surgeon. This iconic photo speaks volumes.

My friends, we cannot remain silent. Rowan shows us that what is at stake could not be higher. Several states have abortion initiatives on the ballot.
Our team is gearing up for a massive effort to educate and mobilize voters, community leaders, pastors, and volunteers, and provide the resources and coordination to save lives and to save America. We will print door knockers, handouts, mailers, and yard signs. We are hiring staff, coordinating strategic targets, and mobilizing pastors and leaders. We need your help to provide the resources necessary to achieve victory. I will share more below.
These two babies illustrate the two paths our nation can take.
These are the same options that the Lord sets out for Israel in the Deuteronomy 30:15-20 passage: “I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live” (v. 19).
To help our nation choose life, we are launching the following campaign:
Hire staff to coordinate grassroots mobilization.
Organize and mobilize strategic sectors.
Develop compelling information and resources.
Print a massive number of door knockers, flyers, and yard signs.
Educate door-knocking teams and mobilize people.
Conduct meetings for pastors and leaders.
Coordinate with other organizations.
And much more!
We have limited time to act. We have the opportunity to end the most horrible and bloody chapter in American history.
