Two Actions in One Pharmacy Outreach
   #1 Protest CVS and/or Walgreens Pharmacies
#2 Educate the public on Chemical Abortion
Will we turn a blind eye to pharmacy expansion into Pill Abortion?
Our answer should be "no"! You can be equipped, at ZERO COST, for pharmacy outreach.
AND for educating your neighbors on the nation's #1 procedure for committing abortions.
See our game plan in the middle column below.

The key goals and impacts of Pharmacy Outreach 

These are the bullet points.
​For important elaboration, click here.
1. Provide strong headwinds to the state-by-state expansion. A strong national Pharmacy Outreach will be a big headache for CVS and Walgreens. Slowing and limiting the state-to-state expansion will be a pro-life success.
2.  A message to other pharmacy chains to STAY OUT and maintain pharmacy choice. Democrats and the abortion industry have used bullying tactics to compel Walmart, Costco, and Kroger to join the Chemical Abortion industry. We can help strengthen their backbones with an unrelenting presence on the sidewalks of CVS and Walgreen. Keeping Walmart and others on the sideline will be a huge
pro-life victory.
3. Inform and persuade neighbors about Chemical Abortion using a special flyer, conversations, and powerful signs. Pharmacy Outreach is an educational project.
4. Encourage customers to move their prescriptions. The Chemical Abortion flyer contains easy instructions.
5. Diminish the public image and financial position of CVS and Walgreens.
6. To catch fire and stay on fire, our movement must always be eager to add a new arrow to our quiver.

Turning below to positive impacts common to all
Public Square Outreach events.

7. Pro-life experienced substantial political losses during 2022 and 2023. We must engage the undecided, “mushy middle”, for 2024 and beyond.
8. Incentivize the local business community to stay far away from abortion and Planned Parenthood.
9. Going directly to our neighbors partially counterbalances the ongoing media bias.
10. Public witness encourages our silent pro-life neighbors.
11. Public witness may encourage some pro-life “fans” to go out to the playing field.
12. Participation can create a memorable and inspiring event for family and friends.
13. Provide opportunities for life defenders with various skills and interests. Different branches require different skill sets.
14. The civil rights movement of the 1960s used Public Square Outreach for great achievements. The pro-life movement is mistaken to think we can take a pass on Public Square Outreach.

These are the bullet points.

Considering all of the above, success in each Pharmacy Outreach is 100% assured. There may be degrees of success. However, failure is impossible!

Pharmacy Outreach and Chemical Abortion Education ​in Waco and America.
View a snapshot of the campaign in a 5 minute video.

The Deadly Six States: CA, IL, NY, PA, MA & RI
     In March of 2024, Walgreens and CVS began their initial rollout of Chemical Abortion through pharmacy prescriptions in these states
with more states coming soon.
     Will you join the national campaign to protest CVS and Walgreens?  This will be sustained from month to month for maximum pressure and impact. Let's cover all 50 states--whether or not this lethal RX plan is currently operating in a state. Let's look for reasons to get out in the public square, not reasons to draw back.

Nine large signs and 100 Chemical Abortion flyers.
Available to individuals, families, and pro-life groups that will
deliver outreach on four occasions. Monthly or weekly is best.

View or print the six-panel Chemical Abortion flyer.
                                 here

The national goal is to reach 100 cities in America participating.
We count as a VICTORY each month that Walgreens and CVS are held in check in 6 states and Walmart et.al. reject chemical abortion profit. So far we have had six victory months.

Why is this an imperative for our movement?
     Pro-life has lost all 7 statewide ballots beginning with Kansas in August of 2022. 
     All branches of the pro-life tree must be strong for us to reverse this shocking trend.  Pregnancy center support is strong. We have prayer vigils and sidewalk counseling at abortion centers. Political outreach is robust. All good! Now let's revive hometown public square outreach.             
     There are 18,000 CVS and Walgreens pharmacies in the 50 states. What an opportunity this is if we will take it! 95%+ of Americans live within 30 miles of a Walgreens or CVS pharmacy.

How to Transfer Your Prescription
     It's easy. Start by visiting the pharmacy you want to use, such as Walmart, a grocery store pharmacy, etc. They will ask for personal, insurance, and prescription information. This pharmacy will process the prescription transfer. You can do this!  You should do this! 
     After the transfer happens you should visit CVS or Walgreens for the last time and tell a pharmacy manager WHY you moved your prescriptions. 
     We need a massive prescription shift all across America. This includes states with abortion bans, which may block the evil plans of Walgreens and CVS in some states.  Their corporate leadership has decided to seek profit by selling baby killing prescriptions. They should suffer a cost.

     Protest Victories!              Top 5 Over Two Centuries
You can read about the "Top 5"  below or on an easier-to- read Word file by clicking here.

          by John Pisciotta, Director of PLW

       I have heard this many times, “John, XYZ Inc. is supporting evil. However, you are wasting your time with this protest.”
       By the grace of God, Pro-Life Waco has experienced many victories.   
       Moreover, we have NEVER struck out. Even if the central protest goal was not achieved, there are many areas of positive impact. I summarized these benefits in a one-page essay, Step UP to the Plate: The Benefits of Public Square Outreach Events.

       Here are PLW’s Top 5 outright victories where abortion-supporting organizations flipped 180 degrees. I have learned that we are more powerful than we think!  At times I have been surprised by the extent and speed of our victories.

Victory #5  (2018)  Wacoan Magazine terminates Planned Parenthood ads.  In December of 2017, the magazine carried a full-page ad promoting the new abortion facility in Waco. Pro-Life Waco protested with signs each month for three months at WACOAN Magazine located on a very busy street. WACOAN management contacted PLW and agreed not to run Planned Parenthood Waco ads in exchange for no more protests.

Victory #4  (2015)  Target backs down on support for 50 Shades of Gray movie. Target stores nationwide featured displays for this deplorable movie.  Pro-Life Waco was the only organization in America to challenge Target. John Pisciotta personally called on Waco managers and mentioned sidewalk protests were likely. The display vanished the next day. PLW organized a protest at Target in Georgetown, Texas. We held signs and talked with management. The displays were removed in Georgetown and four other Target stores in the same region.

Victory #3  (2022)   400 life-defenders swamp Waco City Council to crush proposed city ordinance.  In July, a City Council member proposed a “GRACE” Act ordinance to block the Waco PD from enforcing Texas abortion laws. For the August council meeting, Pro-Life Waco organized a turnout of around 400 pro-life citizens to protest and speak against the ordinance. That was the end of the road for this pro-abortion initiative, which was enacted in other Texas cities.

Victory #2   (1989 to 2013)  Nobody's Fool “sex ed” folds after a 24-year run. Planned Parenthood’s sex seminar for children in grades 5-9 was offered on one day each July. At its high point, Nobody’s Fool lured 700 children.  Pro-Life Waco challenged Nobody's Fool through the decades with yard signs, billboards, a billboard truck, letters to the editor, and dozens of foot soldiers on the sidewalk for the event each year. Attendance declined to less than a hundred. In June of 2013, the Waco newspaper announced Nobody’s Fool had been terminated.

Victory #1  (2004)  Girl Scout Cookie Boycott in Central Texas.  The Cookie Boycott focus was local. However, the impact was national. The local Waco Girl Scout Council permitted its logo on flyers promoting Planned Parenthood Nobody’s Fool. Then in 2003, Planned Parenthood began using the pornographic children’s book, It's Perfectly Normal. This triggered PLW's demand for a “divorce” of Girl Scouts from Planned Parenthood. PLW ran radio ads on the local American Family Radio station. A torrent of local controversy erupted, and national coverage quickly developed. After three weeks of controversy, the Waco Council voted to sever all ties with Planned Parenthood. The boycott controversy was educational. Parents across the country learned that Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood are in the same camp regarding sexuality and abortion immorality.
