WAKE UP! (Missy Reilly Smith) - 8/5/25

8/5/25 - Missy Reilly Smith is the founder and president of WAKE UP (Women Against the Killing & Exploitation of Unprotected Persons), a 501(c)(3) charity she established after reading a 1999 exposé in The Washington Times about abortionists torturing infants and selling body parts, a catalyst that led to her lifelong commitment to pro life activism. A mother who openly acknowledges her own abortions and now counsels others through prayer, sidewalk outreach, and training programs, Missy has organized high-profile demonstrations, including 100 consecutive Rosary rallies outside the White House in 2009, and produced WAKE UP Chronicles, a magazine promoting chastity and pro-life education. She has twice run for political office, using striking campaign ads that brought national attention, and continues to spearhead legal efforts, including a class-action suit for women allegedly harmed by abortion medications. She frequently takes her mission to the streets, Congress, and beyond, undaunted even by arrests, determined to "save children's lives in the light of Christ." Learn more at https://www.wakeup.mom/
