“The pro-life movement needs a lot more people like Troy Newman. His deep compassion for the helpless unborn, combined with his innovative strategies, springs from his strong personal integrity and the kind of moral courage it takes to fight a thankless battle day after day. Troy feels keenly the gross injustice of abortion, not only against the child, but also against women who have been offered this ‘right’ instead of being given the love and care they crave. Whenever I need a shot in the arm and some encouragement in this lonely battle, I give Troy a call. He always gives me a lift. I am proud to have Troy as a fellow colleague in this ongoing battle for life.”

“Troy Newman is one of those rare pro-life activists that have stayed the course. Babies are still being saved. Mothers and fathers are still being ministered to while Troy holds the abortion industry accountable. Troy has also maintained his integrity and compassion throughout his many years of pro-life activism. It is a privilege to support him.”

“Everybody knows we can’t rely on the media to show and tell the truth. The Truth Truck is a world-class media-beater. Troy Newman and his team not only have developed a great tactic, but commitment to go along with it. I have personally witnessed the Truth Truck in operation and seen the hearts and minds of people changed. Thanks Troy! Keep showing and telling the truth!”

“I have worked with Troy and Cheryl at OR on a number of front-line pro-life projects in four states, and have been extremely impressed with their outstanding, creative and effective pro-life leadership in exposing corrupt pro-abort politicians, and working as hard as anyone in shutting down abortion mills. They have been very supportive of our work in NYC, and helped us launch our free mobile ultrasound program in the South Bronx. I consider them good friends, and wish them all the best in their current campaigns.”

“OPERATION RESCUE is a three-fold cord (Eccl. 4:12) woven through the entire tapestry of the Pro-Life Movement. Thanks to Operation Rescue’s faithful stewardship, service, and inspiration: disparate parts of the Pro-Life Movement stand — and stand together. ‘Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.’ Ephesians 6:13.”

Until the day comes when Roe v. Wade is overturned and the opportunity exists to protect unborn children under law, the pro-life movement needs organizations like Operation Rescue that are willing to hold the abortion industry accountable.
We can stop abortions, put abortion practitioners out of business, and protect women and unborn children today. We can do that by taking the simple action of ensuring abortion practitioners follow state health and safety standards and urging state and local officials to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law when they don’t. Operation Rescue, led by Troy Newman, is at the forefront of that effort.
Their work has proven that we can stop abortions peacefully and legally and OR is a crucial member of the national and international pro-life team.
