by Bud Shaver I’m out at UNM abortion clinic UNMCRH on a blustery, cold Mon. in January (13th). The wind has significantly minimized the signs I have displayed. I am holding on to two with all my strength, a very graphic one by Created Equal and one I had made spelling out UNM’s radical abortion agenda. Instead of debating whether the use of abortion victim images has a proper role in the public square, I’m just going to share what I just experienced while I was using them. A woman (45-50 years old) in her car glances over at me as she was leaving another business across the street from…

by Bud Shaver Tucked away amidst quiet complicity battles are won, one by one, as eyes are opened and hearts are touched by a simple step of sacrificial faith, by the ones willing to boldly claim the sidewalk, for the kingdom sake, yet the war rages on. Battles are won one woman, one child, one day at a time, time after time as silence gives way to the lie shattering voice of truth, uttered and displayed, for those receptive to such acts of love most ridicule and dissuade, so the war rages on. Battles break the paralyzing grip of apathetic lives lived, neatly nestled, behind the four walls of the…

Posted at the request of Dave Holmes (Pictured above) Words To Live By Pope John Paul II spoke these beautiful words at the World Youth Conference in Denver in August, 1993 “America, you are beautiful indeed, and blessed in so many ways… But your greatest beauty and your richest blessing is found in the human person: in each man, woman and child, in every immigrant, in every native-born son and daughter…For this reason, America, your deepest identity and truest character as a nation is revealed in the position you take towards the human person. The ultimate test of your greatness in the way you treat every human being, but especially…

This originally appeared at www.standforlife.net Albuquerque City Councilor Trudy Jones planned to introduce a resolution at the October 9th City Council meeting to stop the upcoming election to ban abortions at twenty weeks in the city.  Numerous speakers came forward at that meeting to denounce Jones and her proposal and also to defend the unborn.  The resolution was eventually sent to the finance committee which wouldn’t meet until after the November 19th election, so the election is set in stone! The first video is an excellent impassioned speech by Laura Morrison.  Laura’s comment about her speech: “I do not speak for my glory … all glory is God’s.  I speak for…

Today as I arrived at Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) driving the “Truth Truck” (A box truck fitted with images of abortion victims), I was greeted by Pastor Manny from Transformation Ministries. Manny had been out at SWO since they opened and had saved me a parking spot for the Truth Truck. After I parked he stated, “Wow, I never expected this ministry to be so tough! I never realized how intense this spiritual battle is at the abortion clinic! A couple pulled in as soon as I got here this morning, they were from Colorado. As they pulled into the parking lot I was able to stop them and they…

Bud Shaver, Project Defending Life Sidewalk testimony: Tuesday October 1, 2013 As in everything, including sidewalk counseling, there are seasons. Over the past few weeks it has been quite difficult to even talk to anyone coming to Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) in ABQ. Possibly the heightened publicity both locally and nationally has factored in. While I have visibly noticed a decrease in women seeking abortions, in part I believe from the public awareness, those who still choose to go to SWO despite all the overflow of awareness are the hardest of hearts and the hardest to reach. Maybe this has been the case. Today however, was different! This week kicked…

This week Project 52 kicked off (https://prolifewitness.org/1613-2/) out at late-term abortion clinic Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO). Several pastors, church leaders, and organizations claimed this clinic for prayer and ministry, they claimed victory…that the power of darkness will not prevail over the authority of Christ and they claimed His power to shut this clinic down! There was great press coverage of this monumental step of faith by church leaders in ABQ http://www.koat.com/news/new-mexico/albuquerque/pastors-gather-to-support-lateterm-abortion-ban/-/9153728/22203852/-/98sufo/-/index.html#ixzz2gQmgMmZw When Tara and I moved here to ABQ, three years ago, to focus on educating the christian community about late-term abortions taking place in this city and its national implications; we also had a focus of activating the christian…

Project 52 is an interdenominational church initiative engaging congregations for 52 weeks a year in promoting the sanctity of human life. The vision of Project 52 is to activate 52 local churches to adopt the Late-Term abortion clinic, Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) for one week out of the year. Each church will have the freedom to minister as they see fit to each and every abortion minded woman. During their designated week, they will claim the Late-Term abortion clinic for every hour, every day SWO is open (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm). “Abortion in our community is a huge mountain that seems impossible to be moved on our own, however if every church…

Back in February (22, 2013) Bud shared this testimony from our ministry out at Late-Term abortion clinic Southwestern Women’s Options in Albuquerque, New Mexico: “A mother who is 7 months pregnant came to the abortion clinic today but not to get an abortion she came because she knew we would be there and that we would be able to help her! Ironically she came to the right place…only because God’s love was present there through His people! God has created us to not simply be the city on a hill distant and set apart, but a city on the sidewalk in the midst of our communities! Surrounded by the darkness,…

This year has gone by so fast, but so much has been accomplished! Thank you for your continued prayers and support during these past 2 years of ministry here in ABQ. God is truly blessing our efforts here! God has truly been at work in New Mexico “Moving the Mountains” in 2012! We are grateful for the work of Operation Rescue and the ministry at Project Defending Life. Your faithfulness and encouragement over the past two years has been a huge blessing! We also want to thank Pastor Eric Lamb and everyone from Calvary Chapel of ABQ who have stepped up in a big way in 2012. We would also like…

Two years ago, Tara Shaver and I (Evangelicals) stepped out in faith to work with Project Defending Life (PDL) a Catholic Pro-Life Ministry in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Director of PDL, Fr. Stephen Imbarrato a Roman Catholic Priest took a step of faith as well! We are told in Scripture that you can tell by the fruit borne, what is of God! Over the past two years we can say with absolute certainty that God is definitely blessing our steps of faith! Here is a short  list of what God has accomplished in just two years in New Mexico: ~We maintained a peaceful, public,  and prayerful presence at all three…

By, Bud Shaver You never know what to expect on any given day, today Tara received two calls. One was from an active duty Albuquerque, Detective and the other was from a Sidewalk Counselor in San Diego, California. During the past 5 years in full-time Pro-Life ministry we have had our run-ins with law enforcement, some of which highlight their failures. Today, however Tara received a phone call from an active duty detective which highlights all that is noble and praiseworthy! In our ministry we deal with the “hard cases” and this one was no different. A girl had been raped and the police actually went with this girl to…

By Bud Shaver Today (August 23, 2012) out at UNM abortion mill UNMCRH, a guy came over to state how ignorant, idiotic, down right evil it was for us to be out in front of an abortion clinic. I asked him “Why?” He went on to say how hypocritical Christians are and he had his list of course! I told him “How about I concede everything you just stated about Christians, and allow me to ask you…How is it, that you are anti-war, anti-death penalty, anti-violence, pro-social justice, but you support the most brutal form of violence…abortion? Abortion has killed more people in our country than all the wars, violence,…

 By Bud Shaver Today (July 3rd, 2012) after spending several hours at Late-Term abortion mill (SWO) in Albuquerque, NM reaching out to abortion minded couples and just being ignored or angrily “flipped off!” I drove the Truth Truck back to where it is stored and then headed to Project Defending Life (PDL). After being there for a while taking care of business and speaking with volunteers I headed out the door. As I was leaving I just glanced over and saw a couple being helped by our Gabriel Project volunteer and I sort of recognized the couple but in the moment, couldn’t remember where I had seen them before…That is…
