| Dear Friend of Life, The fruits of a succesful State Conference are being seen this month as Arizonans hit the streets, courthouses, and churches to defend life. Below are just a few of the ways the pro-life cause is being advanced this month as well as many ways you can help.
| | Volunteers Still Needed for State Fair
|  Volunteers are still needed for the Arizona Right to Life booth at the Arizona State Fair this October. The state fair provides an unprecedented platform to share the pro-life view with thousands of Arizonans. For example, every day at the fair children guide their parents towards our models of unborn children with cries of "look mommy, baby!" Many skeptical adults are instantly disarmed by the simple truth a child can grasp, an unborn child isn't a "choice," he or she is a baby. Many of these adults sign our petition to endorse "Choose Life" license plates in our state or volunteer to help at upcoming AZRTL events. However, this outreach and public education cannot occur without your help, so please consider signing up for a shift at the fair. Training for newcomers and veterans who want to brush up on their skills will be held at the AZRTL office on Saturday, October 6th from 2:00-3:30pm and Tuesday, October 9th from 7:00-8:30pm. If you would like to volunteer please choose a date between October 12th and November 4th (excluding Mondays) and indicate whether you prefer a morning, afternoon, or an evening shift. You can reply to this email directly or email trent@arizonarighttolife.org.
| | "Choose Life" Plates Go To Court
|  On October 15th representatives of the Arizona Life Coalition will be arguing in favor of Arizona permitting the distribution of "Choose Life License Plates." Lifenews.com summarizes the conflict well, "The coalition of pro-life groups, which includes Arizona Right to Life, the Center for Arizona Policy, and several crisis pregnancy centers, submitted the plate application in January, 2002 and sued the state in September, 2003 after the commission denied the plate. In September, 2005, U.S. District Judge Paul G. Rosenblatt upheld the commission's decision and said the Arizona Life Coalition failed to show that its right to free speech was denied. Rosenblatt said the commission acted reasonably and tried to avoid the appearance of political favoritism in an otherwise nonpublic forum. Now, the pro-life groups want a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to rule in their favor. . . Proceeds from the sale of the Choose Life plates would have benefited pregnancy centers that help women find abortion alternatives."
Please support the AZ Life Coalition as they undertake this tremendous feat. To learn more, visit our friends at The Center for Arizona Policy whose general counsel Peter Gentala will be arguing the case.
| | 40 Days for Life Underway
|  Two local pro-life groups have joined with a national grassroots campaign to end abortion in our nation. 40 days for life focuses on prayer, fasting, and constant vigil at abortion facilities that recruits pro-lifers to action and simultaneously reduces abortion rates in local areas. If you are interested in helping and live in the Tucson area please contact Sunny Turner at the Tucson's AZ Right To Life Message Line at 520-326-1542 or AZRTLSUNNYT@aol.com

| | Pro-life Speaker Training Available
|  Arizona Right to Life and the Life Educational Corp. will be hosting training for individuals interested in learning how to defend the pro-life viewpoint. On October 24th program specialist Trent Horn and event specialist Chris White will be hosting an informational seminar entitled "How to talk about abortion with anyone." Both Chris and Trent have experience traveling the country speaking at college campuses about this highly charged issue. They teach audiences how to not argue, but instead effectively dialogue and persuade people to accept the pro-life view. After the talk they will offer information about the steps to take in order to become a public speaker who addresses this topic, along with other topics like stem cell research and euthanasia, at local churches and other organizations. For more information or to RSVP please email trent@arizonarightotlife.org or reply to this email directly. | | | Thank you for taking the time to read Arizona Right to Life's monthly e-newsletter.
