Abortion Centers Closing, Cutting Back as 40 Days for Life Begins in 247 Cities

Abortion Centers Closing, Cutting Back as 40 Days for Life Begins in 247 Cities

MEDIA ADVISORY, March 8, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- "Recent abortion center closings have added momentum to the kickoff of the largest 40 Days for Life campaign in history -- which launches tomorrow in 247 cities across the United States and eight other countries," said Shawn Carney, campaign director of 40 Days for Life.

40 Days for Life, a 40-day campaign of prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil and community outreach, launches tomorrow at 247 locations in the United States, Canada, Australia, England, Ireland, Spain, Belize, Armenia and Georgia. This represents a 47% increase in the number of locations over last spring. The campaign will run through April 17.

"We know of nine abortion facilities where 40 Days for Life prayer vigils have been conducted that are now closed," said Carney, "and following other peaceful vigils, more abortion centers may soon be added to that list."

Just last week, Golden Gate Community Health, a collection of abortion facilities in the San Francisco Bay area that was once part of the Planned Parenthood network, announced it was shutting down -- at least temporarily, and possibly forever. That chain includes abortion centers in San Francisco and San Mateo where 40 Days for Life campaigns have been held, as well as three other locations.

In Columbia, Missouri, several peaceful 40 Days for Life vigils have been held outside a Planned Parenthood abortion center. Another prayer campaign is starting this week. Because of staffing issues, this location was unable to offer abortions for several months last year. Abortions resumed on an every-other-week basis in the fall, but now sources in Columbia say no abortions have taken place there since January 26.

"Abortions are only available right now at one place in the entire state of Missouri -- Planned Parenthood in St. Louis, where another 40 Days for Life vigil begins tomorrow," Carney said.

Since 40 Days for Life began as a national -- and then international -- effort in 2007, more than 400,000 people have participated and confirmed reports have documented that 3,599 babies have been saved from abortion. "When people respond to abortion as a local problem," said Carney, "they see the local results of a peaceful vigil: lives saved, hearts changed -- and abortion centers closed."

The list of participating communities is posted online at: www.40daysforlife.com/location.cfm.

Facebook Page and the effects of an abortion!

Just found this Facebook page built around this quote from President Ronald Reagan. I think it yet another good page to hold discussion about abortion.

I had recently been thinking about an article I read, supposedly written by a doctor, that "women do not suffer an adverse emotional effects, after having an abortion".

What audacious arrogance! I wonder who paid them to crank out that 'opinion'? A little child can refute that statement! It's the little child, with his hand in a forbidden cookie jar, that experiences an immediate emotion, and some immediate disciplinary action for it.

People who don't experience negative emotions from doing immoral actions, do exist I know, but this group of people are also known as sociopaths and psychopaths. In some circles also known as hardhearted.

How many Nazi Germans, could conduct experiments on human children, tell people walk to the their death into a gas chamber, and do so much with no remorse, or pricking of conscience?

I hate to think about the generation upon generation of people who buy a lie for convenience sake, get themselves convinced of it, then commit a crime. To tell other people, or to tell yourself, 'there are no emotional repercussions to having an abortion', is an all out lie. Lie. Lie. Lie!

It's a fundamental principle of humanity that there are consequences for all actions. Suffering shame, guilt, remorse, regret for having an abortion is the norm! This is from a woman who has been there!

Having suffered for years, along with severe bouts of depression, I sought earnestly an escape, a remedy, a cure for the common emotion.
I didn't realize how the 'cure' was seeking me.

I went for 5 years to a counselor, who in the end decided to retire because, she felt in all that time I had not progressed through any of my problems, she was actually going to leave for India to seek some higher spiritual resources for her practice.

Great.

41% of pregnancies in NYC end in Abortion

That's the AVERAGE - it is higher in the Bronx and among those of lesser means to support themselves and minorities.
@: http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local/new_york&id=7883827

As with Seattle - the amount of children living in this city and NYC are down in population. Can one really raise a child in either of these cities without working full time and being married. Unless you married someone who's never home and always working - hence not too involved with his children - ah - the cities are no place for children ... but some make it ... I hope you get out soon though.

I hope this causes you to think about the life of the mother and baby in a more loving way.

March For Life in your area?

Well, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade is tomorrow. I'm not sure how I will personally mark the day, I have a couple ideas. But I did want to connect those interested, with the annual "March for Life". I live in Fairbanks, and I have not heard of anything organized here in town, but the link I post is a place for folks to find a March in their area.  @:  http://marchforlifefinder.com

Abortionist Arrest in Pennsylvania

 @: http://www.christianpost.com/article/20110120/pa-abortionist-arrested-for-eight-counts-of-murder

This is one abortionist who was disobeying the law of Partial Birth Abortion Ban (instituted by President George W. Bush) and was killing viable babies beyond the 24 week period ...

**Beware! The person in this story committed gruesome, grisly, heinous acts of bloody violence on babies and women.

40DaysforLife.com

@: http://www.40daysforlife.com  Their twitter feed is on this blog too.

I was listening to Focus on the Family and they were focusing on a lovely lady, Abby, who used to work in an abortion clinic who when assisting in an abortion was so repulsed by the view she saw of the baby being killed left the abortion clinic within approximately two weeks. 

This Abby Johnson, was the Director of the Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas! Her turn of heart was an absolute answer to loving prayer extended toward her and all those working in the clinic she directed.

Check it out @: http://www.ignatius.com/Products/UNP-H/unplanned.aspx?src=IPUP

or: http://www.ignatius.com/promotions/unplanned
 

She also started a lovely relationship with the Christians who were praying outside the clinic who were part of the group 40 Days for Life - they are godly and not loud Christians who mainly pray while outside an abortion clinic. Would love for you to check out their website and to check out Abby Johnson's book "unPlanned" - I think you would learn something more about the Pro-Life movement and what they're trying to do. What I took from the conversation with the head of 40 days was that they're trying to change the HEARTS AND MINDS of the women of America to realize that abortion is not the best decision - that it IS the death of a baby human, but you be the judge.

I don't know how many abortions have occurred in my family - I know of one - but I fear there are more because of the ANGER of some in the family when lightly discussing abortion ... sometimes a strong opinion indicates guilt or justification or fear of others not having that choice.

I hope this causes you to think about the life of the mother and baby in a more loving way.

It's in - it's out - It's in - IT'S OUT again...

"Do Unto Others..."

Another reason Why I'm pro life is simple. Ever hear of the saying "do unto others, as you would have them do unto you"? When I was a grade school child in southern California, my 1st grade teacher in the public school I attended, had this posted in her classroom. It is actually an excerpt from the Bible. Gospel of Luke, chapter 6, verse 31.

You don't have to be old as I am now, to know that how you treat people is how you will find yourself being treated. If I was to agree that violently ripping someone from their home, or poisoning them with saline, or sucking their brains out while they were still alive, was right or good, then I can expect that someone else in my lifetime, is going to think this is okay to do to me.

Of course it would be worse for me, since I am now an adult.



I hope this causes you to think about the life of the mother and baby in a more loving way.
