Today we got a definite save, thanks to Steve D, Dr. Lisa and two prayer warriors.

Saturday 2/28/09, was a day filled with excitement at the Womancare abortion mill.
Let me set the stage first:
The KofC from Blessed Sacrament Cathedral signed up for 10-11am each Sat for the vigil.
A seminarian from Sacred Heart Seminary came, not dressed for the weather. He obviously missed Steve's demo on how to dress for the coldest, windiest corner that we know of. Lucky for him, in the van, there were some hats and gloves from the fall campaign.
He took the sign, "honk for life" onto the medium. And got alot of approving honks, which made us feel encouraged. While there he prayed the rosary as he walked shivering (brrr!!) back and forth, in the wind. He said it's cold, but I will offer it up. Brave soul. I think he will be a good priest, because he knows how to sacrifice and shows it..

Steve Dawson, Dr Lisa and a recent convert and myself were praying and talking religion in the mid-way of the sidewalk, just in front of the mill's doors.
A lady casually walked out with her head bowed down. She walked toward the southern end of the abortion mill, where the sidewalk and the driveway meet.
She stopped at the corner of the building, leaning up against it, head down. I approached here cautiously thinking she was an escort and being remorseful.
I offered her a rosary, as a conversational opener. She didn't speak as tears beginning to roll down her cheeks. (When I'm with a person [woman] and they begin to cry, I become putty in their hands. Don't let my secret out, ok?) So I begin to ask with her to tell me what's wrong. She begin to say, "I just can't do it. I just can't do it."
Smart me asks her: do what? (Duuhh!)
Now she begins to tell me: Her boyfriend and another fellow had drop her off 10 minutes earlier and taken her inside to have the abortion. They went back to the car to wait. Then she came back outside after several minutes. One of the fellows in the car came up to her and gave her a bottle of water, then went back to his car, without saying a word. Probably to intimidate her. I called to Steve to keep praying and be alert because this was a live wire situation and there was no way to tell what might happen next, with the fellows.
Steve and the others must have been praying awfully hard, because I begin to get emotional and more protective for the lady's situation.
I offer to take her to a coffee shop to talk. She begin to say, "I just want to go home." (Later she told me she had an eight year old child.)
I offer her a ride home, after she told me her friends in the car had other plans.

Now here is where we must be careful, and get away from here without the guys in the car being aware of her leaving, with me.
I pointed out my car to her, which was in a distant parking lot, and told her to meet me there. The guys in the car were busy doing something else and didn't see her slip away. They tried calling her several times, on her cell, as I was driving her home. She didn't answer. Steve kept an eye on the two and called to say the guys went into the abortion mill looking for her, came out then drove around the block looking for her. By that time, I had gotten her back home, which was about 10 mile away.
On the way to her apartment in the 7 mile road and Telegraph area, she told me that he is really a nice guy. She had mentioned that he did not demand her to get the abortion, but he said: we have grown children and we don't need anymore. She originally agreed. So he begin to suggest, then pressure her to make an appointment and to finally go inside and have the abortion by herself.
She is on Section 8. Which is a form of welfare, no doubt.
She was given a packet of pro-life literature, with the 1-800 and other Problem Pregnancy numbers inside. We exchanged phone numbers so I could keep in touch with her progress.
I have a feeling her situation may become dangerous if her fellow comes around and has not changed his attitude. Please pray for her and our mission of life.

We need to think also about being Pro-active: preparing for life-saving situations. Contact your local Problem Pregnancy office. Volunteer, Learn, Pray.

To End abortion: An Idea Whose Time Has Come

Prayer Power affects abortion Outcomes 2/21/09

Sat. 2/21/09


Judy and Steve, are husband and wife team that go often to the (un)womancare abortion mill (wcam) on Southfield Rd in Lathrup, Mich.

This day after arriving Judy was by the south driveway and sidewalk making herself obvious for an irate lady sitting in her car by the alley parking lot.

Judy said the lady had told her it was none of her business why she had received an abortion, the baby was her property, and her choice, or something to that affect.

Judy was determined to show her sign, in a non-threatening fashion, and praying the lady would have a change of heart.

While in that vicinity, another lady, came from the alley lot, with her daughter and started yelling in Judy's face saying it's our choice (speaking for herself and daughter who had walked ahead of her). But the daughter did get flashed with the sign HAVE MERCY ON YOUR BABY!, and a plea to take some literature. The mother shouted, "I've had an abortion and it didn't kill me and besides I've had four beautiful children. So who are you to tell us what to do? This is our choice. I'm a doctor in the inner-city and there are plenty of crack babies that need aborted. "

And someone on our team said, "if you are a doctor, you are suppose to be saving life,aren't you?"

No answer. But she stormed off to the abortion mill, but not before being flashed with the home made sign about how angry and suicidal aborted women can become. Judy commented that lady was really angry, and not over her abortion. I agreed.

Ten to fifteen min. later, they came out of the mill. They didn't speak, but their walking and attitude was more upbeat. It was like they had a good report of some sort. They were moving too fast for us to ask, "what was your decision, are you going to give your baby life, or are you not pregnant?"

Lesson re learned: it's important to try to remain focus on being non-violent, prayerful, and helpful to the people.
Most of them are very confused, angry, and driven by raw emotions.
If we don't argue with them, the wind is removed from their sails, so to speak. But If we continue to bless them, many times this also puts them into a different more acceptable frame of mind.
We may be that important beacon of hope that they need to see to make a positive choice and give life to their babies.
There's a practice of going over your materials and your script and praying the night before going to your abortion mill location, that I'm trying to continue doing. It helps to get me focused and to remember Whose Work I'm being called to do and why.
Let us keep praying for each other also.

Have you ever seen a mountain move?

Happy Saint Valentine's Day to everyone. The following tells about a "save" for Our Lord, with the help of St. Valentine.
Today when I arrived at the abortion mill, Marcia gave me a run-down on the people who had parked their cars in the lot and have gone inside the death chambers. Shortly afterwards, a couple came out.
Have you ever seen a mountain move?
Marcia approached them quickly and asked them a question or two, it was to low for me to be heard. Whatever it was, the girl said, "we are going to keep the baby", with a sound of happiness in her voice, but abit hesitant. The guy was in agreement, with a nod. It was like he was saying, "I must be a man about this."
And I had to throw my two cents in by saying, "you are a lucky guy to change your mind because your fiance may become a different woman after having an abortion. Some woman start raising Unholy H.......L afterwards. And alot of the relationships fall apart shortly after the abortion."
Strange thing happened, I could hear some voices behind me saying, "A..l..r..i..g..h..t !!!!!".
I could have sworn it sounded like Steve D. and Barb Y. But, Steve wasn't there and Barb was busy praying her rosary about ten feet away or was she? I wonder if Steve was somewhere praying for us. (Hmm, I'll have to ask him. After all I saw him being blessed by Francis the Stigmatist.) Maybe the noise was from the cars driving by or maybe the snowflakes hitting the ground. Or maybe I'm just getting old. (Laugh.)
But didn't Our Lord say that "all of heaven rejoices when just one comes back (or repents) to His calling ?"
What a feeling to watch a mountain move or listen to someone change their mind about an abortion at death's door. Wow!
And the folks did say they were Christian and they accepted a prayer item from me. And furthermore they indicated they were going to get married. (Please say a prayer for them.)
Wow!!! Alright!! Great going Marcia!! Barb your prayers are so powerful ! And the regular prayer warriors, were busy shouting, "Hail Mary, full of.........!" I'm on cloud nine. What a blessing.
Once again, I have seen how The Lord allows us to make a mountain move. Let us continue to answer His calling.

Please comment.
Thank you!

Prayer Power affects abortion Outcomes

In this blog I (we) will share real life stories, useful information and helpful suggestions that can be used for sidewalk counselling at abortion clinics, at home, at work with friends or with someone near and dear to you. It should not hurt to give loving advice or to care for someone's life now or in the future.

First a story:
Sat 2/7/09 at the Womancare abortion clinic (wcac) there were about ten prayer warriors praying for an end to abortion. They are considered prayer warriors because they have been showing up on a regular basics for the last 15 years or so.
There is an interesting thing about prayer power.
As a materialist, one can easily say: you can't see prayer or feel it, so how can you tell if prayer power really exist and make things happen? Well here's one case of the effects of prayer power, that was relayed to me by a women that had contemplated getting an abortion.

One evening while on a late shift (about 9pm) during a 40 day for life (40DFL) vigil at an abortion mill, a lady and her son came up to us, very cautiously. She said, "you folks look cold out here, so my son and I want to stop by and talk to you. Do you mind if we pray with you also?" We told her she could can join us. We prayed for several minutes. Then she said, " twelve years ago I was in this abortion mill. While on the table, to have an abortion, I had this strong urge that I was doing the wrong thing. So, I jumped off the table and told the doctor that I was not going to have an abortion, and I left that place as quick as possible."
I asked her why did she change her mind and left the place? She said there was a nagging thought and feeling she was doing the wrong thing by having an abortion. And this 12 year old child with me now is God's precious gift to me. I cannot imagine my life without him. He even wanted to be baptised, on his own, at eight years old. He's been a blessing to me since he was born. I am very thankful that this child was not aborted. And I'm very thankful that you people are out here praying for us misguided women." (Prayer power works.)
This was news to the boy standing there with us. His eyes got as big as sauces and became filled with water. Mother and son hugged each other warmly and long, with tears flowing.
There had been no pray warriors outside at that time, but they had been there earlier in the day and in the week praying for potential abortees. We'd like to think that we are doing God's work: we are in sales (we pray, talk and fast) and God is in management (He calls, selects and guides).
So you see, you can do something for saving babies in a non-violent way.
We would like you in front of abortion mills praying for misguided women, going to kill their babies. If you can't pray in front of abortion mills, stop by, if you see us outside praying and give us your blessing, pray as you drive by, pray at home or in church. And remember, Our Lord said, "whenever there are two or three together in My Name, there I am in your midst".

We are so grateful that you stop by when we are praying. That let's us know that you are with us and encouraging us to continue.
All of your prayers make a bigger impact then you will ever kno, as you have seen.

Let the still small voice of God continue to inspire and bless you to save lives of the unborn and their mothers.

Ending abortion is AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME

This is the beginning of the Pro-Life, Pro-Active sidewalk counsellor(s) blogspot. May it serve the cause of advancing the actuality of saving babies in the womb. The hope also is that this site will be viewed and used by people who want to contribute, have contributed, or who want to further their involvement, in saving mothers and fathers from making a major horrible decision.
This site will attempt to list reasons why not to abort, how to be pro-life and pro-active and avoid situations that lead to pregnances, how to talk to someone that is pregnant and thinking about an abortion, what their rights are as a pregnant person, what you could do and say as a potential father, what an abortion will do to mother and father physically, mentally and socially (if you believe and know God: spiritually).
We'll also mentioned what happens when someone chooses not to have an abortion. Not to mention when someone has had the baby and returns to share their baby with us.
We all are affected by abortions in many ways, whether we know it or not. We will go into how deep the affects will penetrate all of us.
There are about 4000 abortions done in the U.S.A. daily. One of those abortions may have happened to a friend, a family person, or a neighbor that you know. And maybe.... just maybe, if you were there and gave your friend some heart felt advice, she would not have killed her baby. ( Statistical facts will be presented here, about the after effects of an abortion, that will shock you. This information will not be given to you by the mass media. ) The woman may have aborted because she felt all alone and had no one to get advice or help from. Maybe, just maybe you could have helped to save her life and her baby's.

We'll also list some real incidents and solutions that could help save a life or two. ( This information is not guaranteed as though it is from a doctor or trained professional. Although some of the bloggers may be professionals and they may or may not mention that fact. But if the information is positive toward our goal, we'll share it with you.)

When a woman chooses to abort her baby, she is setting herself up for problems that will extend years into the future and bring on hardships that can and will affect just about everyone that knows her.
We will attempt to list alot of the facts as well.
We'll also list information for a starter kit with basic information so that you can have sources available to refer others.
Please include this work in your prayers. Thank you.

Send your comments or questions. We'll answer as soon as possible.
Ending abortion, is an idea whose time has come.
