Prayer Remains A Powerful Force

As we gathered today on the sidewalk, my heart was filled with thanks to God for all the wonderful people who showed up on a Friday to pray. What a beautiful show of dedication to the unborn. There were two counts today…one for the people who showed up to pray, by 11:00 am there had been 60!  And, the unfortunate number was 14 for the number of abortions. But praise be to God because the numbers remain down from the 32 or more back in October!  A loving God has sent his people to pray and triumph will be his, no doubt!

A profound and meaningful moment today was watching our men at work. Three people pulled up in a station wagon. Two men and a woman got out. Our male counselors went to work on the men, grabbing their attention and pulling them over. They were informed that they were at an abortion clinic. They were surprised, of course, it doesn’t say that on the misleading Planned Parenthood sign. They were given some information and entered the clinic doors. They came back out in a few minutes. The driver walked up to us on the sidewalk and said, “You’re right this is an abortion clinic.” He said, “Well, I am not for abortion.” Our counselor said, “Then go to the Allied Women’s Center for help”. “Don’t support a clinic like this that is doing abortions as we are standing here.” The man shook all of our hands, thanking us, and left to go to the Allied Women’s Center. Amen!

I spent some time talking with a young lady who said she needed birth control. I told her that she was at an abortion clinic and that they were doing abortions today. She said, “Oh really, the sign doesn’t say they do abortions.” Once again, misled by the sign. I gave her information on the Allied Women’s Center and she left in that direction. I called the Allied Women’s Center to let them know she was coming. I don’t know what happened but she showed back up at Planned Parenthood. She only stayed for a few minutes but it was disappointing to see that she had come back.

A young “family” pulled up, the man jumped out of the car as though he was insulted that we were there. He said, “She is not here for an abortion so if all you have to talk about is that then you can’t help her”. “She is my sister”.  They were offered information but did not take it at that time. They walked into the clinic and came out after a short time. Again, he was offered information. I told him that we were not there to judge but to offer assistance. Another counselor stepped in and told him that the Allied Women’s Center could help his sister who had a baby in her arms. His face changed, “Oh really, how?” He was told that the Allied Women’s Center could provide her with financial assistance, diapers, formula, clothing, etc.  They would do everything possible to help her. His whole attitude towards us changed. He realized we really were trying to help. They left thanking us…amen!

Something interesting happened today that I am sure had an impact on the lone ”atheist”, though he may never admit it. As I was standing on the sidewalk, he was holding a sign that read, “Pope Zombies” with an arrow that pointed directly at me. All of the sudden, he was surrounded by prayer warriors. Hands were raised and powerful prayers engulfed him. He turned around and said, “AHHH, now that’s scary!” But he was ignored and the prayers continued. As we prayed he mocked the prayers but not to worry God was listening and our prayers will be answered. His eyes will be opened, maybe not today, but soon! You cannot escape the power of God. When he is called upon, prayers are answered. As we reflect on this, a verse in Isaiah comes to mind: Isaiah 57.4-57.5 “Whom are you mocking? Against whom do you open your mouth wide and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgresssion, the offspring of deceit- you that burn with lust among the oaks, under every green tree; you that slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?”  Isaiah 57.21: “There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.” It is not us that will vanish from the sidewalk but the wicked. Continue to pray!

We are the oaks of righteousness. We are the planting of our Lord, to display his glory. We stand firm in our convictions and triumph will be that of the Lord’s. For God promises that good always wins over evil. Praise be to God!

Sweet Mary, Mother of God, pray for us, that we may save God’s children!

Hope For Life

As we go to the sidewalk tomorrow let us remember this promise in Proverbs: “The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will NOT REMAIN in the land.”   Let’s all continue our mission to shut down the wicked with prayer and dedication in preserving the miracle of our Lord and savior: Life!  Amen!

Blessings Overwhelm!

March 25

 

I am happy to report that today a young mom (and her mother) drove right up to us as we stood on the sidewalk.  The young mom jumped out, walked over, and introduced us to her one month old baby boy, Elijah.  The grandmother told us that her daughter had wanted to have an abortion last fall.  Instead, she drove her to see the people at the last 40 Days for Life campaign praying outside Planned Parenthood. The mom wanted her to read the signs.  The daughter did just that, and then changed her mind, and chose life!  Second, we received great news that another young woman whom we sent to the Pregnancy Care Center for a sonogram, has decided to keep her baby and not abort.  Praise God! Third, a young woman had been praying in church earlier today, when she got the “feeling” that she needed to go to pray at Planned Parenthood.  We saw her car pull in, but she didn’t get out for several minutes.  Finally, she got out and told us that she had been praying for us.  She hadn’t known that we would be there, but as soon as she saw us, she knew that God had wanted her to pray for us.  And, we do need those prayers! 

Some days the blessings overwhelm.

Take care,

Tammy

When Blinders Come Off

A peaceful prayer vigil today turned “bad” when members of the Unitarian “Church” showed up to protest.  Not to worry though, God was present and on the job. The Unitarian church members were in disarray with homemade signs that didn’t make alot of sense. One sign saying PRO ROE. What do you think Norma L McCorvey (ROE in Roe vs. Wade), who never had an abortion but gave her baby up for adoption, would think about that sign? In 1995, Norma L. McCorvey announced she was an advocate for the pro-life movement (specifically, Operation Rescue), and campaigned to make abortion illegal. She said one day she was sitting in a Operation Rescue office looking at the fetal development poster.  Her exact words were, “The progression was so obvious, the eyes were so sweet. It hurt my heart just looking at it.” “It’s like blinders just fell off of my eyes and suddenly I understood the truth-That’s a baby!” McCorvey realized she was wrong all those years about abortion. It was clear to her that abortion is wrong. She was baptized and later confirmed into the Roman Catholic church in 2005. With God there is ALWAYS HOPE. And for the ignorant who stand up and defend abortion, I pray that one day their blinders will fall off their eyes to see the truth.  Even when I showed a protestor a picture of an aborted baby, he could not see the baby. I explained to him how a baby is cut into pieces in the mother’s womb and then evacuated. The picture and my words had no effect on him. He said it was just an operation like any other operation. My response, “It is not like any other operation because a baby is murdered.” The saddest part of his presence there was that he brought his young daughter who held a sign that said, “MY BODY, MY CHOICE”. One day this young lady may find out the hard way how wrong she and her father were today. What a tragedy that would be… 

The abortions being done today were way up.  It almost seemed as though they are recruiting in women from other areas.  It is rare for a black woman to show up at this clinic but today there were at least four. Even at 11:00 am women were still going in. One incident that really stood out in my mind was a very angry black man that walked behind his car to stare us down. His eyes reeked ”abuse”. We must all pray for the woman who was with him who had an abortion. No doubt, she is in a very troubled relationship. Another man came out several times to smoke a cigarette behind his car. The “police” patrol stood over next to him to talk about each of us. As though it would be reassuring to him while his baby was being murdered inside the abortion clinic. Ironic isn’t it, that the people who come with good intentions to help are considered bad in their eyes.

The good news for today was an adoptive mother walking down the sidewalk with a baby boy she had rescued from being aborted. Praise God for this beautiful soul! And at one end of the sidewalk was a mother holding a sign that said she had considered abortion 27 years ago but decided not to…a picture of the baby that was saved was on the sign.  And at the other end a mother holding her dear little one and a sign she had made in defense of babies. She was hammered by an “atheist” about her beliefs but she stood her ground. How beautiful it was to see the very youngest (little children) of the pro-lifers standing before God with their signs, “She’s a baby, not a choice!”. Amen, dear children. Amen!

To all who continue to be in support of the innocent may God bless you with his boundless love and peace. For he who knows God is a light in the world.  Praise be to God!

The truth, as stated in Revelations 22.12-22.15: “See, I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to one’s work. I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they will have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Human Weeds…Wow watch this video

COLD & RAIN??? Nothing can keep us AWAY! We still keep Praying….And, #31 comes our way!!

Dear Pro-Life Friends….

On Saturday, 15 women presented themselves to the “clinic” at 104 Babcock for an abortion.  Please pray for the babies who lost their lives, for the women who lost their motherhood, and for the fathers who lost their fatherhood.

HOWEVER, an extraordinary thing happened….we witnessed Life #31 being saved at the clinic.  A crying young woman came to the sidewalk counselors.  She told the counselors that she was eating across the street when she saw our signs (the signs that all of you were holding!).  Her family was pressuring her to have an abortion and her mother scheduled her an abortion TODAY, Monday…In her own words, “I know I have a baby inside me.” She was just looking for other options.  The counselors told her about Allied Women’s Center is she had an appointment TODAY at Allied vs going to the abortion clinic!  So, Praise God & Please pray for her.

 

 

 

Senate-Backed Stimulus Bill Contains Birth Control Bailout for Planned Parenthood

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — The so-called economic stimulus bill the Senate approved on Tuesday contains a bailout package for Planned Parenthood that will give the abortion giant the ability to make hundreds of millions of dollars selling birth control at an inflated rate. Specifically, a provision buried deep in the legislation fixes a “legislative error” that Planned Parenthood claims raised the price of birth control. The error is a loophole President Bush removed that prevents the abortion business from purchasing birth control pills from pharmaceutical firms at a discounted rate and selling them to some women at highly-inflated prices. Naturally, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards was elated by the news. “We finally did it. It wasn’t easy, but after two long years of working with Congress, I’m happy to report [the provision was included],” Richards told supporters in an email. Richards made the provision appear as if it inflated the price of birth control for women even though the lack of the provision merely failed to give Planned Parenthood the ability to make an incredible profit on selling birth contorl drugs. Planned Parenthood emailed its supporters on the so-called error before and claimed college students need the funding because they’re supposedly choosing between birth control and groceries. “Birth control pills or dinner? Pills or a tank of gas? That’s the decision college students and low-income women are facing around the country,” Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards says. But Wendy Wright, the president of Concerned Women for America, told LifeNews.com that Planned Parenthood painted a false picture. “If it is truly a choice between groceries and birth control pills, then many women will make the responsible choice to not engage in sexual activity – an overall healthier decision,” she said. “Women will not only not get pregnant, they won’t be at risk of sexually-transmitted diseases and emotional entanglements.” Wright pointed out that Planned Parenthood gets hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal and state governments. She said the abortion business, which posted over $1 billion in income in its last fiscal year report, should pay for the birth control itself for these women in supposedly dire situations. “Planned Parenthood could dip into its swollen bank accounts to subsidize the birth control pills,” she said. Wright also noted that Planned Parenthood puts a huge markup on the cost of birth control pills, so much so that it caused controversy in California.

Archbishop Naumann on Sebelius

Wednesday, March 04, 2009 7:09 PM  by Tom McFeely

 

Archbishop Joseph Naumann (CNS)

“I think if Governor Sebelius was going to be appointed a cabinet post, from my point of view, this is the worst possible one that she could have been appointed to.”

That’s the assessment of Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City in Kansas, who in May 2008 requested that Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius not present herself for reception of Communion because of the public scandal caused by her support for legal abortion.

Archbishop Naumann spoke today with Register correspondent Thomas L. McDonald about Sebelius’s appointment this week as Secretary of Health and Human Services in the administration of Barack Obama. This interview will also be published in a future print issue of the National Catholic Register.

What is your reaction to the appointment of Governor Sebelius to the post of Health and Human Services Director in the administration of President Obama?
Archbishop Joseph Naumann: I’m disappointed by the nomination because of the consistent support that the Governor has had for abortion. However, I’m not surprised by it, because her position is pretty consistent with the President’s position. In many ways, the American people, when they elected President Obama, determined what kind of Health and Human Services Secretary we would have.

Based on her legislative record, are you concerned about the power she will have, in this particular post, to affect life issues?
Absolutely. It’s a very important position, and in some ways a dangerous position. I think in particular of the role she will have in formulating the Health Care Reform of the President. That will be crucial, because depending upon the form that takes, there will certainly be an effort by those that supported Governor Sebelius and President Obama to have abortion considered as a basic health care right or need, and that could put tremendous pressures on the consciences of Catholic doctors and nurses and Catholic health care institutions. That’s a huge issue. The Secretary of Health and Human Services has input into such issues as embryonic stem cell experimentation and research, and FDA approval of drugs like RU-486.

I think if Governor Sebelius was going to be appointed a cabinet post, from my point of view, this is the worst possible one that she could have been appointed to.

What about those who point to her accomplishments in abortion reduction?
She likes to take credit for the reduction in abortions here in Kansas. In fact, I think she had nothing to do with it, and some of the actions she took tried to prevent it. One of the things that has had an impact in Kansas is the Pregnancy Maintenance Initiative, which is a modest amount of state money that goes to help crisis pregnancy centers. At one point, she deleted it from the budget. She only allowed it to return when the legislature passed it the next year by such overwhelming majorities that her veto would have been overridden. She’s just recently, in making up the budget for 2010, deleted it again.

She’s vetoed measures that tried to regulate abortions for the sake of the health of the mothers, much less the children. She says she always wants to keep abortion legal, rare, and safe. Well, it’s never safe for the child, but in Kansas we have some disgraceful conditions in abortion clinics. She has shown greater interest in trying to protect abortionists than in protecting mothers, and certainly unborn children.

In her legislative career she was against waiting periods, she was against parental consent, all of the things that we know do reduce abortion. So, she takes credit for what a lot of Pro-Life efforts have accomplished. Actually, the reduction of the rate of abortion is much greater in neighboring Missouri than it has been here. It’s very unfortunate that there are some groups who are doing this promotional effort for her.

Were you surprised to see consistent pro-life voices like Senators Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts support her nomination?
Not really. I have respect for both of them, and I would surmise that part of their rationale is that a President should have latitude in appointing his cabinet. In a sense, even though many people did not vote for Barack Obama because of his support of legalized abortion, but despite it, in effect they empowered him to make these kinds of appointments. Even more troubling are the appointments he will be making to the courts. I think partisan opposition to cabinet appointments can cut both ways, such as efforts to block the pro-life appointments of a pro-life President.

That’s how I interpret it. It’s not an endorsement of her and certainly not of her philosophy. It’s probably more out respect for that process.

Last year, you publicly requested that the Governor refrain from accepting the Eucharist because of the scandal of her support for abortion. Do you see her status in relation to the Church changing due to this new position?
I don’t see it changing. Actually, I put the responsibility on her not to present herself for Communion. Since I’ve made that public, I must commend her that, as far as I know, she’s respected that. The reason I asked her that was because of the contradiction between her practice and what she proclaims by what she’s done, and what the Church has taught consistently. That contradiction still remains. In doing that I was hoping to provoke, in a good sense, a change of heart.

Unfortunately, I think in this position, she will be put in the position of either going against the President, or making herself more complicit in the promotion of abortion. So I think, for her, it worsens the situation.

The other sad thing for me is that it puts another Catholic who is pro-choice, pro-legalized abortion, on the national stage, with Vice-President Biden and Speaker Pelosi and a number of others. I think that’s unfortunate in terms of the scandal of the misrepresentation of what we believe, to many Catholics and many others in our society.

A Mother’s Anguish

I believe the one incident that will be most remembered today was the heartache of a mother struggling to get her daughter out of Planned Parenthood. She walked back and forth, gathering information from one of our dedicated counselors and into the clinic to her daughter. She was given a replica of a baby that she could hold in her hand. The mother said her daughter shook when she held it. Our hearts go out to this mother who tried desperately to get her daughter to change her mind. I know her prayers and our prayers were heard in heaven. The mother eventually left in despair to get a cup of coffee. We pray that God will comfort this dedicated mother and her daughter who will surely need God’s love and compassion.

Today must have been a training day at Planned Parenthood. As many cars drove up with people carrying spiral notebooks and a pen. One in particular was a more mature woman, who was talking to us even before she stepped out of the car. She was so distressed by our presence that she couldn’t even park her car in the space properly. She was just ready for someone to “attack” her so she could “attack” back. I walked towards her. She got out of the car and began to speak,”We don’t like abortion either but you can’t stop abortion if you don’t allow birth control.” No one said a word to her. I watched her walk away in a huff and thought, “The usual pro abortion statement that will never justify the killing of innocent children.” In her mind, it seemed as though we were to blame for abortion. A prime example of society’s twisted way of justifying the need for abortion. 

Watching mothers and fathers bringing their young daughters to the clinic today was saddening. I thought, ”of all the things you do to protect your children, why would you bring them here?”  But, I know many parents ignorantly don’t know the devastating results of abortion. They perhaps think they are saving their daughters from years of heartache. If they only knew the truth, I know they would turn that car around and leave that parking lot. I saw the pain of a young girl who’s mother had brought her to the clinic. She came out, after having an abortion, crying. As they pulled out of the parking lot I saw a tear fall from the mother’s eyes. If only there was something we could have said to stop them from the pain they are now feeling. We ask ourselves what would have been the perfect words to say. Unfortunetly, when the door closes to the clinic so does the message we have for them. A sense of helplessness comes over us until the next car arrives. Being on that sidewalk is a difficult job. We must always remember that though it may seem hopeless at times that with God all things are possible. Ultimately, it is not what we do for God that is most important but what he does for us. He puts us in situations to learn compassion and love for others. This is for our betterment. It is better to walk with your eyes wide open in the light then live in the dark with no hope.

I had the pleasure of bringing a young lady with me today to introduce her to God’s great cause. She had many questions for me and I was happy to answer them. Her biggest question to me was, ”How can they do this to their baby?” As we all know this is a seemingly simple question but it takes some time to answer. It is a question we must be vigilant about answering.  I encourage all of our counselors to be mentors to others. Show them through example your dedication and compassion for the unborn and their mothers.  As you know we must always refrain from judgment and be an example of God’s great love. Let his light shine through you.

And I leave you with this:  Conception IS the beginning of God’s intentions to bless others with his own love. What greater miracle is there than life?  It is dynamic in all it’s glorious potential. For all who hear God’s call and follow, may you be blessed with his undying love and compassion. And, for all the young women who left the clinic today and are suffering great pain, may God bring them an angel to comfort them in their time of need.  AMEN

From the mouth of a child…

 

Take 5 minutes to listen to this 12 year old talk about abortion, it will fire you up! Her name is Lia. She’s a 12-year-old seventh grader that recently decided to make a courageous stand in her school by giving a persuasive speech on the topic of abortion. Even when her teachers strongly encouraged her to choose a different topic, she decided to stick with what she felt passionate about.  Let’s pray for more outstanding young Pro-Life activists like Lia!

More follow-up from today on the sidewalk… 

Please pray for Christian & Whitney– they are both in college, worried about the future.  Christian tried to talk his girlfriend Whitney out of having the abortion, by 2 pm, he still was not able to.  Please pray for them, their struggle has just began.

Please pray for the souls of the aborted babies, 4 “containers”, really coffins were taken away today by the stericycle “medical waste” truck. 

God Bless, Amber

Planned Parenthood calls police over holy water

My fellow counselors, today was an interesting day, to say the least. Imagine our surprise when a very nice officer pulled up and said that a worker inside was complaining that someone sprinkled holy water in their parking lot. For goodness sakes! The officer seemed quite amused by this and of course, followed procedure and asked if this was true. We told him, NO, it was not true. She sprinkled holy water on the sidewalk (there were several witnesses to this). Where is the crime in that? It was all quite comical and amazingly ridiculous. We all stood and had a great conversation with the officer, who made the comment: “Why don’t you go to the source of this problem?” “Contact your city officials, congressman, and senators.” We said, “We do. Every week!” He seemed surprised by that. He said,”It might actually be impossible to close down this Planned Parenthood just by standing out here.” To which one of our counselors replied, “25 abortion clinics in Northern Texas have been closed down just from doing what we are doing.” I personally talked to him about the FOCA that Obama would like to pass taking all restrictions off of abortion. He said, “I didn’t know about that”. I said, “Most people don’t and he would like to keep it that way”. He said, “I bet our tax dollars are paying for this, too.”  The officer was very receptive to us and very much in agreement with us. He was Pro-life himself. Amazingly every officer that has been called to the clinic has showed support for us. For that we are grateful to the San Antonio Police Department. As a peaceful organization, we just want to help people, and apparently the great officers of San Antonio are aware of that.

I was faced with having a conversation with an angry young man today. He stayed in his car for at least thirty minutes with a young child. He did his best to try to ignore me, but I was persistent and did not give up. I held up my pamphlets and talked to him through his closed window. I told him that I was not there to judge him but to help him. I said everything that I could possibly come up with until finally he opened up his door. I asked him if I could talk with him. He angrily said no. I persisted…I told him again that I was not there to judge him but to help him. I went on to talk about post abortion syndrome. I explained to him that the person inside the clinic was going to need help. That she would suffer the same kind of mourning that a mother who carried a child for nine months and lost her child would feel. I said she is going to need help. She will need counseling. He continued on with his smug, “I’m not listening, you are irritating me attitude”. I continued on talking…”what have I got to lose, I thought?”  He finally opened up and told us that he had went through this with his other girlfriends. I guess it hasn’t occur to him that those relationships didn’t work for a reason.  He got so aggitated listening to me, that he said I was gonna make him smoke a whole pack of cigarettes. After refusing any information, he finally got back in his car. He sat in the car stewing…  I told him just remember that I was here talking to you because I care about you and the woman inside the clinic.

Right after that, a couple came out of the clinic. They were parked right beside the angry young man. We asked if she would like some information. She said she was not having an abortion but they were there because she had a pregnancy test done. She was pregnant. I said, “Oh great, let me give you some information that will help you”. I handed her the information about the Allied Women’s Center and explained to her and the father of her baby that she could get help with diapers, formula, financial aid, etc. They were very happy!!! “Thank you so much!” they exclaimed.  “Thank you, thank you”, they continued as they happily got in their car.  AMEN JESUS!!! 

To all the counselors who really worked hard today to reach the people arriving at Planned Parenthood, I say a BIG THANK YOU!!!  Please pray for the young couple who will be blessed with God’s greatest miracle…a new life.

6 lb. 4oz

Well, what weighs 6 lbs, 4 ounces?   I’ll get to that…first, let me tell you a story.  Last June, a young girl in a Lexus with a middle aged man drove up to Planned Parenthood at 104 Babcock.  It was Saturday, and of course an abortion day.   The man went into Planned Parenthood, the girl stayed in the car. As she sat there in the car all alone, she stared at the signs that said “Free Help…1-800-395-HELP”.   The man came back to the car, she refused to get out, they conversed and they drove away.  Later that week, SACFL found out the girl had called the number she saw on those signs.  She asked for legal help, her father was forcing her to have an abortion.  Operation Outcry and other ProLife legal agencies got involved to help her, court cases ensued, her father continued to push….but, that 14 year old girl chose life.   Last Friday, Jan. 30^th she delivered a healthy baby girl, 6 lbs, 4 oz.

Praise God!  Thanks to all of you that hold signs and pray….It is making a difference!!

Knights come through with support

 It was another 40 degree cold day at Planned Parenthood. The day began with a single counselor and then by 7:45 there were two. But by 9:00, the sidewalks were flooded with Pro-life supporters. The procession arrived with the Knights of Columbus in the lead and prayer began. Each prayer rang out beautifully and with such grace from the mouths of each dedicated prayer warrior. God’s people had arrived and were armed with a powerful message. Two young people stood directly in front of the entrance holding a banner of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The Knights of Columbus were adorned in full dress. The rosary was being prayed loud and clear by men, women, and children. The sky was a bright blue and the sun broke through. Peace surrounded Planned Parenthood for all to see. The eyes of God were upon those who had gathered to speak for the innocent who were dying inside.

Today we counted 13 cars. Ten of those were abortions. Three left within an hour so we are assuming these young ladies did not have abortions. Two left with small purple bags in their hands. The one that left the clinic that stays in our minds and our hearts is a young lady who was open to listen to one of our counselors. She walked right over to our dedicated and compassionate counselor and received information. The young lady explained that she had a one year old baby and was pregnant. She had no husband or boyfriend to help support her. She was alone until she found our counselor who gave her hope and an ear to listen. Thankfully, she walked out of the clinic after only a short time. Please pray for her so that she may find comfort and support in her time of need.

All of the events of today were recorded by KENS 5. We are grateful to KENS 5 for their support of our Pro-life mission. We hope that the news cast today will touch many hearts and bring many more to the sidewalk to pray for our dearest children: the innocent and the unborn.
