Michael Knowles steps out of the political debate for a heartfelt PreBorn! sponsor read. He frames the charity around the Declaration of Independence's ordering of rights — life, liberty, pursuit of happiness — arguing that without life, the other rights are meaningless. PreBorn! provides free ultrasounds for $28 per session, and Knowles cites the organization's statistic that a mother who sees her baby on ultrasound for the first time is 80% more likely to choose life. He calls it one of the best ROIs available in charitable giving, noting that PreBorn! fundraises separately for administrative costs so every donated dollar goes toward saving lives. He asks listeners to donate $250 — a nod to America's 250th anniversary — by dialing #250 and saying 'BABY' or visiting preborn.com/knowles.
