About EMPfHL
Endless Mountains Pennsylvanians for Human Life is a local chapter of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation. Our primary task is to keep Tioga County residents informed regarding pro-life issues. Primarily, that means attending local events where we can distribute pro-life literature and talk with the public about life issues. When significant issues are on the horizon, we publish a newsletter in order to provide information critical to making an informed decision. |
Permission to Copy
Our organization exists for the purpose of distributing information of importance to the pro-life cause, so feel free to copy information found on this web site and distribute it in any way you can. Help us get the word out!

Soldiers and Sailors Hospital, Conference Room
The monthly EMPfHL meetings are on the 2nd Thursday of every month in the Conference Room of Soldiers and Sailors Hospital, Wellsboro, PA. Turn right when entering the lobby, then left at the end of the hallway. The Conference Room is two doors down, on the right. All meetings are open to the public.
Once again, we will have an information table and baby changing station at the Tioga County Fair. This even has always been a big success in the past, and we look forward to seeing everybody there this year.
Info-Season Is Here!
During the summer months, we host an information table at many events in the county. We are always looking for help manning our tables, so if you are interested in volunteering to work at one of these events, please come to the next regularly scheduled meeting. If you can't make it to a meeting, contact Joel Kershner and let him know about your interest.
Even if you can't volunteer to help, please be sure to stop by and say hello.

During his eight years in the Illinois legislature, Barack Obama cast a number of votes on abortion and received a 100 percent rating from the Illinois Planned Parenthood Council for his support of abortion rights, family planning services and health insurance coverage for female contraceptives. He voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive, a vote that especially riled abortion opponents.
The July 11, 2007 online issue of Opinion Journal (a weblog produced by one of the editors of the Wall Street Journal) contains an encouraging report on a study of public opinion and abortion. Authors Christopher Blunt and Fred Steeper analyze opinion-poll data from the bellwether state of Missouri between 1992 and 2006, focusing on voters' answers to the question whether they regard themselves as “pro-life” or “pro-choice.” Opinion Journal summarizes it this way:
The finding: Public opinion has moved strongly in the “pro-life” direction. In 1992, 34% of Missouri voters described themselves as “strongly pro-choice”; by 2006 this figure had declined to 23%. The proportion describing themselves as “strongly pro-life” rose from 26% to 36%. When those describing themselves as “somewhat” pro-whatever are included, the “pro-life” rise is 11 percentage points (30% to 41%), and the “pro-choice” decline is 13 points (43% to 30%).
The article then goes on to speculate about what this shift means. Although the conclusions are not 100% encouraging, they are certainly thought provoking, and worth your time.
