About CFLaps4Life

If you ask any person who has taken part in Pro-Life activities why they participate in those events and initiatives, you will likely get a wide variety of answers from the importance of saving a child from the awful procedure of abortion that ultimately leads to the death of a child, to helping mothers who are facing an unexpected pregnancy and are pressured into a decision that may affect them, their child and their family forever, or even to fulfill a promise to defend life from conception to a natural death and defend those who have no voice. While that is just a few of the reasons why people join this mission, they all have one thing in common, each reason is based on learning about, presenting and defending the TRUTH.

Unalienable Right to Life

In 1776, the members of our new country declared unanimoulsly, holding self-evident truths that we are created equal and that our Creator endowed us with the “certain, unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” This paved the way for proving and protecting freedom for our citizens as outlined in U.S. Consititution. On January 22, 1973 in a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, those rights were no longer recognized applicable to the unborn. Although this was looked upon by ruling supporters as providing protection and freedom for women, those opposed to the ruling saw the lie and appealed citing constitutional, religious and scientific arguments to defend life. While the 1973 ruling likely encouraged more people to join the Pro-Life movement, the defense of the unborn and of mothers can also be traced back decades prior.

Bringing the Truth to Our Community

Members of many organizations, including the Knights of Columbus, churches and crisis pregnancy centers, saw a large need in our own community where women facing unexpected pregnancies were not provided with the support that they needed. With biased, fear-based information readily available on the web and in healthcare facilities that discourages women with a “cannot do this” presentation and does not focus on the life inside the mother, it was time to provide more Pro-Life options for these women and their families that presents the TRUTH. As part of that presentation, our organization has chosen to change the tone by providing life-saving technology to Pro-Life pregnancy centers through the procurement and installation of ultrasound machines at those centers. Each vetted center will have trained and experienced professionals who will operate these machines. The mothers, and families, will then have an opportunity to not only receive sound information at these centers, but they will also have an opportunity to connect visually with their unborn child. We believe that it is through this connection, support and information that the hearts, minds and souls of these mothers, their children and families will be saved.

Marching for a Mission with You
Each year, the Central Florida Laps for Life holds a walk-a-thon, normally the first Saturday each March, at Bishop Moore Catholic High School in Orlando, Florida. The event is designed to fund the ultrasound equipment, training, and maintenance. Through the donations and efforts of individuals and sponsoring companies like you, Pro-Life pregnancy centers, the Knights of Columbus and ultrasound manufacturers and vendors, we are able to connect mothers, and families, with their unborn child and help us follow through on our mission:

To promote the Culture of Life from conception to natural death.
