On October 5, 2024, hundreds of pro-lifers spent their Saturday morning attending the 17th annual March of the Surviving Youth in Houston, Texas.

The theme of this year’s march was: “Even post-Roe, the fight for life is not over until every baby everywhere is safe from abortion.”

Catholics March Against the Culture of Death

Starting at a local church, the pro-life crowd marched to a Planned Parenthood center, known as the largest abortion facility in Houston. The rally peacefully prayed the Holy Rosary and sang hymns to Our Lady. It was a symbolic gesture and an act of reparation for the innocent lives lost to the horrors of abortion and the impure culture, which generated it.

Members of the Tradition, Family and Property-Texas (TFP) participated in the event, encouraging and exhorting pro-lifers to continue the battle to eliminate abortion in America and return to a Christian order.

Pro-Life is Young and Vibrant

Everywhere young people and families were proof that the pro-life crusade is far from over. In stark contrast, pro-abortion counter-protesters were nowhere to be found.

Two young altar boys led the rally with two crucifixes in hand followed by four young men carrying a statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Other banners and images to saints, Our Lady and Our Lord were found throughout the march.

The March Grows in Size and Determination

The Catholic Organization of Life (COOL) organized the event. Gabriel Rivas, current president of COOL commented: “I am happy with this year’s turnout. We have to keep on fighting for life and especially keep praying the rosary.”

“Some like to say that the overturning of Roe v. Wade erases the need for marches,” said TFP volunteer Anthony Atilano. “They are completely wrong. This is the time to redouble our efforts. We will only stop marching when procured abortion is eliminated in America!”

With this march, the young crowd pressed the attack for life resolving to stay in the field until procured abortion becomes unthinkable and God and His Blessed Mother are loved and obeyed.

Catholics will March till the End

Now is not the time to be discouraged but rather to courageously march forward. The great victory in overturning Roe v. Wade is an example of what can be achieved. It shocked the world and proved that unlikely victories are possible. However, it is only the beginning. Much more can be expected if people trust in God and continue to bring the fight for the culture into the public square.

May Our Lady present our prayers before the throne of God and hasten the day when procured abortion will finally be made unthinkable in America.

“Where are the all the women?” and other baseless arguments greeted the full-time volunteers of Tradition, Family, Property—Louisiana (TFP-LA) as they set up their pro-life campaign just outside the University of Louisiana in Lafayette on September 30, 2024.

Hoping to catch the lunch break rush, the local volunteers raised the heraldic TFP Standard around noon. Although the campus was a bit sleepy, the campaign attracted attention from both sides.

Waking up the Campus

After all, the campaign had many elements to wake up the campus. It is not everyday that people see young men standing on the street corner, booming out pro-life slogans. At the intersecitons, drivers found large signs that read, “Honk Against Abortion” and “Honk, Defend Innocent Life.” The campaign fulfilled its purpose of raising awareness about the pro-life issue. It encouraged the good and debunked the culture of death.

Slogans like “Smile! You Survived Abortion!” and “Eagle Eggs are Protected! Yet Unborn Babies are Rejected! Why the Double Standard!” brought much applause from the good and foul words from those defending the evil of procured abortion.

“Where are all the Women?”

One woman screamed an expletive at a volunteer who offered her a pro-life flyer. Kevin, the volunteer, replied that insults are not arguments and queried whether she had any arguments to back up her obviously pro-death stance. She responded with the all-too-common question, “Where are all the women?” which implied that men have no say on the issue.

However, he shot back a question of his own, “Well, if men have no say, then what about the seven male justices in the Supreme Court who approved abortion in Roe v. Wade? What do you think about that?” She had no reply and stormed off in a rage.

Abortion is a Moral Issue

Indeed, whether women are physically present at a protest against procured abortion is irrelevant. It is not a women’s issue, but a moral issue that everyone must take a position. It takes a father and a mother to bring forth life, so men and women have the duty to defend innocent life.

No one has the right to murder.

Even Truth is Denied by the Pro-Abortion Advocates

Another pro-abortion female advocate on her bicycle went even farther, by denying that truth exists. The volunteer explained that abortion is still wrong even in the tragic cases of rape, since the innocent child had no part in the crime.  She tried to brush all argument aside saying, “There really is no absolute truth! Everyone can believe whatever they want!”

To this the volunteer replied, “Of course there is absolute truth! Can 2 + 2 ever equal anything but 4?” She replied saying that the example was different and cycled off with dismay.

Acadiana Supports Pro-Life

Throughout all this, the pro-life honking was near constant as enthusiasm for the campaign brought many passersby to thank the volunteers for their work. A man on his bicycle stopped at each volunteer shaking hands exuberantly and said for all to hear, “I can’t just go by without thanking you for what you’re doing. You are saving souls and may God bless you substantially for that!”

Another woman showed her support while telling the volunteers, “It’s so good to see young men doing this!” Indeed, the norm is for young men to praise abortion since it frees them from the consequences of their actions.

Real men don’t act irresponsibly; they defend innocent life.

The Real Answer to Abortion is Purity

Yet another lady conversed with a volunteer from her car window. “Abortion is completely wrong and the government’s policies are only part of the problem!” The volunteer replied, “That is exactly why we are here! The real problem starts at home and these people are getting ready to start families, so they need to hear this!”

When she agreed, the volunteer continued, “The real answer to abortion is purity. All other solutions are like so many towels hoping to wipe up the water without turning off the faucet.” The lady in the car replied enthusiastically “Amen! Amen!”

Victory is Assured with Heaven’s Aid

After a good two hours of campaign and hundreds of pro-life honks, the TFP-LA volunteers ended the day by praying three Hail Mary’s for the success of the pro-life crusade. No battle can be won without the aid of God, His Mother, and the saints. With their help, the victory is assured.

Follow God’s Banner

If you ever see a large red standard with a golden rampant lion surrounded by young men proclaiming the truth, please join as there are never enough volunteers to fight under the banner of God on the moral issues plaguing the country today.

Under threat of heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorms, Tradition, Family, Property—Louisiana (TFPLA) continued its southern caravan in defense of the Ten Commandments. On July 22, the TFPLA volunteers pressed forward and took to the streets of Biloxi, Mississippi. Thumbs up and enthusiastic honks filled the air.

Later that same day, the caravan of activists traversed back to the State of Louisiana, where the freshly passed bill enshrining the Ten Commandments in public schools and buildings is still the topic of intense debate.

Acadiana Supports the Ten Commandments

With much training, TFPLA volunteers in the South have practiced setting up their banner, TFP standard, and signs. They are ready to go in a swift 22 seconds.

In Lafayette, Louisiana, the instant the honk signs were made visible, the locals began laying on their horns. It was apparent from the smiles on people’s faces that the Ten Commandments are respected and wanted in Acadiana. The caravan also was able to present the public with the TFP’s new flier giving ten reasons why America needs the Ten Commandments. One young man even got out of his car and ran across the street through traffic to grab one.

While Cajuns positively support the Ten Commandments, some expressed their hatred, going as far as throwing a can of sparkling water at one of our young volunteers.

TFP Campaign as a Beacon of Hope

The campaign also stopped at Lake Charles, Louisiana. A woman, when offered a flier, had thought that the Ten Commandments were banned from the schools, but let out a sigh of relief when she found out the contrary.

One man with many tattoos, honked and waved in support from his car. A few moments later, he walked up and expressed how happy he was to see the TFP. He mentioned that he watched the TFP Student Action videos and wanted to thank the members in person.

He mentioned how this country started to go downhill with the passing of same-sex “marriage” under Obama, and agreed with TFPLA President Thomas Drake about the need for America’s moral conversion.

Next Battleground: The Great State of Texas

Louisiana’s Ten Commandments Law is motivating other states like Texas to enact similar laws. That’s why the next stop of the TFPLA’s southern caravan will seek to bolster support and encourage Texans to rise to the occasion, upholding and honoring God’s law publicly.
