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.
