Pro-Life
Emmy Nomination
Facing Life Head-On TV program
It’s not every day a pro-life television show is nominated for an Emmy
Award, but that’s just what happened this week. Our own weekly
broadcast, Facing Life Head-On, captured the attention of the National
Academy of Television Arts and Sciences! We’re one of four nominees in
the Ohio Valley Chapter’s “Interview/Discussion Program” category. We
find out how the judges voted at a black-tie awards ceremony July 31.
This is great news—not just for us, but for the whole pro-life
community. We live in a society where, if abortion is mentioned on TV,
it’s almost always accompanied with a veil of lies. Four years ago, we
set out to change that trend, and we’re succeeding!
In a short time, Facing Life Head-On began airing on cable and
satellite networks across the US and Canada, reaching more than 100
million homes each week. Viewers often write in to tell us the show
changed their way of thinking about the life issues—matters like
abortion, adoption, stem cell treatments and end-of-life care. Women
are choosing life for their unborn babies. Parents are moving forward
with the adoption of special needs children. Young people are getting
empowered with the information they need to speak out.
Putting together a show like this takes a big investment, but our hard
work is paying off. Though we’d certainly love to win that Emmy, our
greater mission is to win the hearts and minds of America. This is
proving to be a successful way of doing it!

more shows that change—and even save—lives. You can also watch the full
episodes online.

The IFRL is the largest grassroots pro-life organization in
Illinois. A non-profit organization, that serves as the state
coordinating body for local pro-life chapters representing thousands of
Illinois citizens working to restore respect for all human life in our
society. The IFRL is composed of people of different political
persuasions, various faiths and diverse economic, social and ethnic
backgrounds. Since 1973 the Illinois Federation for Right to Life has
been working to end abortion and restore legal protection to those members of the
human family who are threatened by abortion, infanticide and euthanasia. Diverse though we are, we hold one common belief - that
every human being has an inalienable right to life that is precious and must be protected. IFRL is
dedicated to restoring the right to life to the unborn, and protection
for the disabled and the elderly. Click here to learn more about the IFRL.
