The local PP abortion clinic here, has also had a 'Picket Donation Drive'. Now I understand why. Every time we have 40 Days for Life, their business slows down. I've noticed in some of your photos and replies, good ideas for signs. Are there other prayer warriors out there who have additional ideas for signs?

Y el 1 de nov. a las 12 am me fui a la manifestación frente al Congreso de Buenos aires en favor de la Vida del niño por nacer. Antes de salir de casa revise mi correo y encontré una carta que se titulaba "CARTA DE SATANÁS" En ella decías un monton de cosas que no vale la pena repetir porque todas eran para desalentarme, como cristiana. Pero no pudo pues me fui a la marcha con mi mejor sonrisa. Y todo salio fantástico, eramos muchos los que estuvimos alli desde las 14 pm hasta 17:30pm manifestando le a los senadores y a las mujeres pro abortistas que no queríamos leyes que no protegieran al los niños por nacer y a su madres.La lucha espiritual fue muy fuerte,pero a pesar de eso todo transcurrió en un clima pacifico de nuestra parte. Podría decir que parecía La Fiesta de la Vida. Jovenes,niños,embarazadas.Familias con sus bebes,sacerdotes,religiosas,maestros, personas de buena voluntad(esto es sin credo)Cantando y saltando al ritmo de redoblantes y bombos, sin agresiones a los contrarios,pero con firmeza en los cantos que dejaban bien en claro que no queríamos mas esa" LOCURA DE MATAR A INOCENTES Y ARRUINAR LA VIDA A LAS MUJERES" Aunque se que esto no termino aqui por desgracia,pero contenta porque el sabado en la ciudad de La Plata donde vivo se organizo una velada frente a la Catedral del obispado saliendo desde la parroquia La Merced caminando hasta alli.Donde rezaremos en favor de La Vida.Jesus sea su Paz Y Bien. Por favor oren para que vayan muchos...

The committee will investigate whether the contraceptives coverage mandate recently issued by the Obama administration will negatively impact the exercise of conscience rights and patient access to health care. Dr. Stevens and four other experts will provide testimony and respond to questions. We are hopeful that C-Span will cover the hearing, but the schedule has yet to be posted.

She had never been before and felt the need. I learned that she is bilingual and had prior experince volunteering at Birthright. I mentioned the need for her abilities at our new pregnancy resource center - Mary's Choice - which opened during this past year. She immediately went in to speak with our executive director and complete the volunteer application. Isn't God awesome in sending His angels right to our doorsteps to help us serve His precious little ones with loving support! Thanks to 40 Days for the Presence we have gained right where the need is! God is awesome!

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:55:04 +0000 http://40daysforlife.com/blog/?p=2517#comment-41303 Last week, I got a phone call from my sister, asking for prayers for her 18 year-old grandaughter who had an appointment scheduled for an abortion five days later in Richmond, VA. I was encouraged knowing that there is a 40 Days for Life campaign in Richmond, and I put out a request to my local 40 Days for Life prayer team in Everett, WA, asking them to pray for my niece's daughter, her boyfriend, and their child. We were very touched with the response here in Everett, which included one of the priests who is involved with the campaign remembering her family in a morning Mass. We have been blessed with the news that the abortion appointment was cancelled and my niece went with her daughter to see an obstetrician instead, where they were able to see the baby's beating heart on an ultrasound. She wrote to my sister, "It was so wonderful to watch the heartbeat of my grandchild today, the day he or she would have died." Praise God for another life saved! I do believe it was providential that this pregnancy occurred during a 40 Days for Life campaign. Thank you all for your prayers and sacrifices dedicated to sparing lives from the atrocity that is abortion.

I noticed this year there was a small sign at the Beaverton Oregon PP that states for each person that pickets PP "Generous" people donate 35.00 to the agency. I guess it has been there in the past but for some reason this is the first time I have ever noticed it. I make sure and pray for all those who donate the "35.00" see the error of there ways. It is difficult for me at times to go to the site as I am someone who went from being pro-choice aborter, to Pro -life prayer warrior. I deal with my own emotions but every time I feel bad or feel defeated, I know it is just the devils way of trying to get me to not be involved in such a critical part of the Chain breaking. I am grateful for 40 days and all it stands for. If it was not for this viable resource I may have never of found out about RV, or learned what healing is about.

The devil is so resourceful to come up with crafty ways to neuter and silence our witness. Like stewing in our guilt instead of rejoicing in God's mercy and forgiveness! Like PPs email they sent out for matching donations for each "Protester" present at the "Hood!" Like that is going to discourage us and make us go home. It should only make us take courage and want to bring all our friends along so they can be a part of making the devil squirm and get splinters under his fingernails as he scrapes the bottom of the barrel for ways to deter us! :-) Thank you Carmen for the beautiful and powerful devotional. I am going to print off copies to give post abortive women. Several days ago here in Fort Collins, Colorado there was a beautiful little girl named Catherine with a big sign that said "Its easy to be pro choice when you are not the one being chosen" The traffic stopped and I watched a girl reading the sign from her car. Then I saw a tear course down her cheek. Then she just started sobbing. After witnessing that I swore I would never be without something to offer in an instant if given the opportunity. One of Carmen's devotionals or something like it will be in my front pocket from now on. Awesome testimonies!
