John Pisciotta
Director — Pro-life Waco
John Pisciotta co-founded Pro-Life Waco in 1996. Pro-Life Waco has grown into a robust, activist organization battling for the Culture of Life and opposing Planned Parenthood in Waco at every turn.
A key recent initiative was the creation of the FB group Hometown Pro-Life Action in July 2015. The rapidly growing group is on target to reach 4,000 members by its one year anniversary. The goal of the group is to build muscle into the hometown branch of the pro-life movement. Check it out!!
In 2004, Pisciotta lead a boycott of “Thin Mint” cookies sales, because of entanglement of local Girl Scouts with Planned Parenthood. The boycott exploded into a national news story, which resulted in Pisciotta appearing on the NBC Today Show and Fox News Hannity and Colmes. The boycott brought pressured a local decision of Girl Scouts and to severe all ties to Planned Parenthood and gave national exposure to the Girls Scouts/Planned Parenthood alliance.
Current Pro-Life Waco outreach includes sidewalk counseling at the Planned Parenthood abortion facility, challenge to PP Waco Nobody’s Fool annual sex promotion event, a pro-life booth at the Heart of Texas Fair, a pro-life billboard truck named “Carolyn,” participation in national Life Chain Sunday and 40 Days for Life, and a Second Sunday pro-life gathering that includes a delicious Italian pasta meal and an action planning meeting.
