40 Days for Life, Lies of Planned Parenthood, Pro-life Witness at Abortion Centers

"Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love,

but to use violence to get what they want.

That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion"

Abby Johnson's Testimony: Poison to the Abortion Movement

Former Director of Planned Parenthood Abby Johnson gives powerful yet compassionate testimony about her conversion from "Employee of The Year" at PP to Pro Life Advocate to the crowd at the 6th annual Walk For Life In San Francisco. ABBY'S PRESENCE AT THE WALK WAS NOT COVERED BY ANYONE IN THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA. This testimony is a good indication why. It is poison to the abortion movement.

Dr. Bernard Nathanson Regrets Abortions

Dr. Bernard Nathanson tells about his career as an abortionist in New York City. He claims that his abortion clinic was the largest one in the western world. He employed 35 doctors and 85 nurses. Abortions were performed daily from 8am until 12 midnight in 10 operating rooms--ending the lives of 120 unborn babies every day. He even admits to killing his own unborn child. In the following video, a subdued Dr. Nathanson speaks before an audience saying:

"I stand before you as a mass murderer.

I am directly responsible for the deaths of 75,000 innocent children."

If you are following this story, don't miss an audio of part of her interview on the Laura Ingraham radio show with guest host Raymond Arroyo posted on the 4o Days for Life blog.

Also she is scheduled to be on the O'Reilly Factor on Fox News channel this coming Friday night.

God's Call to Pro-life Unity

Yesterday's post told about Abby Johnson, a Planned Parenthood director who converted from being, in her own words, "extremely pro-choice" to being pro-life after recently seeing the harsh reality of an actual abortion procedure on ultrasound. Thanks be to God for opening her mind and heart to the true nature of abortion.

During the eight years that Abby worked at Planned Parenthood, she was present for the first ever 40 Days for Life campaign in 2004 conducted outside the abortion facility where she worked, and she was present for the first national campaign and all 40 days for Life campaigns since the first. It was during this recently finished Fall campaign that Abby's heart was finally touched and converted.

Abby's conversion was a great joy and encouragement for all those who have been praying, fasting and keeping a prayerful, peaceful vigil outside abortion facilities during 40 Days campaigns, at other times as well, and for decades of years prior to 40 Days for Life campaigns. There were a total of eight clinic workers who left their jobs during this just ended fall campaign and up to this date 542 babies whose lives were saved in this one campaign alone. Since the first 40 Days there have been over 2000 babies saved from abortion and many abortion workers converted, and those are only the ones known about for certain.

I am personally encouraged, motivated and reinvigorated by seeing what God has inspired and is promoting and supporting by HIS GRACE. He has made it obvious that we are NOT ALONE in this seemingly unending battle, but are warriors called to serve under the greatest and most powerful Commander-in-Chief possible in HIS WAR against the unseen forces of evil that seek to destroy not only the lives of the unborn, but the lives of those who are seduced into participating in abortion.

I believe that the MANY DECADES OF YEARS of prayers, sacrifices and pro-life efforts of COUNTLESS pro-life warriors have been rewarded by 40 Days for Life, this new and mighty inspiration of the Holy Spirit that is uniting pro-life ministries and groups throughout the nation and the world. It is a call to UNITY that is being answered by ministries like Priests for Life, Silent No More, Project Rachel, Helpers of God's Precious Infants, and many, many others. It is GOD'S CALL TO UNITY--not David Bereit's, Father Pavone's or any visible leader. They are HIS instruments, HIS voice to recruit new volunteers and to reinvigorate veterans to zealously persevere in HIS battle for life.

God has decided that it is time for a new SURGE in this spiritual war against the lives of the unborn and against those whose involvement with abortion will damage their lives and their relationship with God. HE IS LEADING IT! HE IS CALLING US! He wants to use ALL OF US as His instruments, His voice--not just some of us. What a privilege it is to serve Our Lord, our God! We could not be at Calvary when Jesus was abandoned by most of His followers, but we CAN be at the modern day Calvary of the abortion mills where what is done to the unborn is done TO Him, and where what is done for the unborn is done FOR Him.

Redeeming and converting a civilization has already been done once.

It can be done again.

But we need to understand that God is calling you and me to do it.

He chose us. He calls us.

He's waiting and now we need to answer Him.

~ Archbishop Charles Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. ~

MIRACLE: Planned Parenthood director converts!

Planned Parenthood Director's Spiritual Conversion

Praise God! After eight years of working at Planned Parenthood, Abby Johnson resigned last month after seeing an ultrasound of an abortion procedure. She was also disillusioned by the recent focus on abortion as a way to bring in more revenue, saying, "The money wasn't in family planning, the money wasn't in prevention, the money was in abortion..."

The Truth About the Abortion Industry

If you want to learn the truth about what goes on inside abortion facilities, read the testimonies of these former abortion providers.

Carol Everett, former abortion clinic owner: "I cannot tell you one thing that happens in an abortion clinic that is not a lie."

Dr. Anthony Levatino, former abortionist: "...I started to realize...this is somebody's child. I lost my chd, someone who was very precious to us. And now I am taking somebody's child and I am tearing him right out of their womb. I am killing somebody's child."

Dr. Beverly McMillan, former abortionist: "I felt the presence of someone coming up over the back seat of my car and grasping my right shoulder--the hand of heaven."

Joan Appleton, R.N., former abortion nurse: I handled the ultrasound while the doctor performed the procedure...I saw the baby puling away. I saw the baby open his mouth...I couldn't deny what I saw on the screen."

Joy Davis, former abortion clinic regional director and unlicensed abortionist, relating the words said to her by abortionist Tommy Tucker: "She went into labor and delivered a live baby. What could I do?I killed the baby."

Dr. McArthur Hill, former abortionist: "There isn't any way that you can say there isn't a human body when you can look and see the little arms, feet and faces...sometimes the aborted babies were bigger than the premature babies we took to the nursery."

Luhra Tives, former abortion clinic staffer for abortionist Dr.Tiller: "There was nothing wrong with these babies at all--nothing--and these were third trimester abortions."

SILENT NO MORE: Post Abortion Healing

If you are suffering because of an abortion, help and healing is available for you. The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is one organization that speaks from the experience of personal suffering because of involvement with abortion. Mothers are not the only ones who suffer regrets and agony after an abortion. Fathers, grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends, and abortion providers are only some of those affected by the tragedy of abortion. The list is endless, because abortion affects all of humanity. The child is gone, but serious consequences remain for those touched by that one life created by a loving God. Relationships with God and others are changed or damaged. Read the testimonies of those who hope to spare others the suffering they've experienced.

Pray for Abortion Providers

Abortion has claimed countless victims. The obvious victims are the millions of precious unborn babies who are denied the chance to live outside of the womb. Those related to the unborn are also victims, even if they don't realize it. Mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, and cousins--all their lives are affected by the loss of that unborn baby, a life that was meant to enrich their lives in ways known only to God. The whole of humanity is victimized by abortion because God had a plan for the lives of the aborted unborn babies that was meant to benefit the rest of us. What is good for one is good for all because we are all one body in Christ. For the same reason, what is harmful to one is harmful to all. God's plan is always best--Love being Who He is and what motivates all of His decisions. It is humans who interfere with His perfect plan and destroy the life of love, peace and joy that He desires for all of His children.

It is important to pray for abortion providers and for their conversion of heart. They are also victims of the cruel machinations of the prince of darkness and his accomplices in evil who seek the destruction of all of God's children, either before or after birth. None of us are exempt from his wicked plan to deceive all of us who have a chance at eternal happiness in heaven with our Creator. His envy and anger know no bounds as he seeks to destroy the purity of souls and lead them away from God and into the misery of eternal damnation along with him.

Many abortion providers have had a change of heart, thanks be to our merciful God, and have formed the Society of Centurions. They are in need of spiritual support in their journey to reconciliation, forgiveness and healing. According to Dr. Philip Ney in The Centurion's Pathway:

"The factors that changed their opinion on performing abortions, in the following order of frequency were:

evidence of the infant's humanity,

a spiritual experience,

personal distress,

evidence of the mother's distress,

scientific articles,

being accepted as a person,

a personal relationship with a pro-lifer,

pro-life pickets."

One Dramatic Conversion Story

40 DAYS FOR LIFE DAY 2: BABY SAVED AT KICK-OFF EVENT!

Saint Thomas Aquinas Appears in Abortionist Stojan Adasevic's Dreams

When Dr. Stojan Adasevic was a medical student, he learned that he was a survivor of a failed abortion. Despite hearing that shocking news, he went on in his medical career to become expert at the very same procedure that caused his own mother's abortion to fail, thus saving his life. He became a master abortionist, performing twenty to thirty abortions in one day. In his twenty-six year career he estimated that he performed 48,000-62,000 abortions.

A more detailed account of Dr. Adasevic's experiences, that led to his abandoning his career as an abortionist and becoming a pro-life apostle, is here.
