PLPS: Born out of Pro-Life Waco

       Pro-Life in the Public Square is an outgrowth of Pro-Life Waco. PLW began soon after Planned Parenthood Waco opened its abortion center in 1994. PLW has delivered multi-faceted public square outreach in Greater Waco since the mid-1990s. Now, through Pro-Life in the Public Square, we will encourage and financially support pro-life groups with the creation of public square outreach in their hometowns.

       Pro-Life Waco's involvement in public square outreach featured a yearly controversy over a one-day sex education conference for youths named “Nobody’s Fool”. Our challenge included yard signs, billboards, newspaper editorials, and radio ads.  On the day of the event, dozens of pro-lifers protested at the Waco Convention Center site. From its peak attendance of 700 children, Nobody’s Fool declined to less than 100. Planned Parenthood aborted Nobodies Fool in 2013.

       The biggest episode in the PLW battle with Nobody’s Fool was the 2004 boycott of cookie sales because of local Girl Scout promotion of Planned Parenthood Waco events. The controversy drew national attention. John Pisciotta was interviewed on the Today Show, the 700 Club, and others. With pressure soaring, the local Bluebonnet Girl Scout Council surrendered and severed all ties with Planned Parenthood Waco.

       Pro-life Waco will continue public square outreach in Waco each month. This includes Life Chain Sunday, Overpass Outreach, one event at Planned Parenthood Waco, and two outreach/protests at pharmacy chains that have become abortion providers. Pro-Life Waco’s highest priority since March of 2023 has been challenging CVS and Walgreens pharmacies. Target is also included since its pharmacies are CVS.

       Pro-Life in the Public Square, created in October of 2024, will encourage, equip, and fund the expansion of public square outreach across America.  Pharmacy outreach will not be the only support initiative of PLPS. At the launch of Pro-Life in the Public Square, we announced the Yard Signs for Life initiative to help pro-life groups and churches mobilize and proclaim pro-life messages to a broad cross-section of their communities.
