The Taking of Life

There I was, catching up on all the news today when I came across this headline:  Planned Parenthood Promotes '40 days of Prayer' for Abortion.  eeYup!  Honestly!  I just could not believe my eyes!!!

To quote from the article written by Dr. Susan Berry in breitbart.com, "In what appears to be an attempt to mock and pervert the pro-life community, Six Rivers Planned Parenthood of Eureka, California has launched a campaign that encourages "prayer" as a means to protect those involved in the "sacred care" of abortion."  Dr. Berry adds....."it appears to mimic the 40 Days for Life campaign held in the US and around the world, during which time pro-life supporters pray outside of abortion clinics.  The.....campaign brochure provides 40 different "prayers" to inspire mothers, escorts, abortionists, and all involved in the abortion procedure, to continue to protect and embrace abortion."  She goes on to say that there was a press release from the Humboldt County Unitarian Universalist "Clergy for Choice"  inviting family and community to join in the 40 days of prayer from March 18th to April 27th.  Additionally, there was a link to an organization called Faith Aloud who apparently contributed the prayers for each of the 40 days.

Well, curiousity getting the best of me, I visited the site of  faithaloud.org  to get my copy of these "prayers",  some of which follow:

Day 4:  Today we give thanks for the doctors who provide quality abortion care, and pray that they may be kept safe.

Day 14:  Today we pray for Christians everywhere to embrace the loving model of Jesus in the way he refused to shame women.

Day 18:  Today we pray for all the staff at abortion clinics around the nation.  May they be daily confirmed in the sacred care that they offer women.

Day 25:  Today we pray for women who have been made afraid of their own power by their religion.  May they learn to reject fear and live bravely.

Day 27:  Today we give thanks for abortion providers around the nation whose concern for women is the driving force in their lives.

I believe you get the idea.

To this point in time, since Roe v Wade there have been approximately 53,000,000 babies murdered.  There is no other word for it other than murder.  When are we going to stop it?

"Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die."
