If you shop at that sale at the Fairgrounds, your money goes to the abortion industry. IRTL created this sale so that book lovers could get better deals on the same great books, movies and music, but shop with a clean conscience. Proceeds go to pregnancy centers throughout Iowa. Donate your books and magazines. Take them to 1500 Illinois Street (3 blocks east of 2nd Avenue.)

Nearly 42% of women that are 45 years old have had an abortion, which is staggering.  This leaves a great need for help and healing.  For this reason, Iowa Right to Life is providing training for people who would like to facilitate a Bible study for post abortion women and men in their area.
To RSVP, e-mail us at iowa@iowaRTL.org or call us at 515.244.1012.

Iowa Right to Life held Facilitator Training for Post Abortion Bible Studies for the first time last October.
