Eternal Rest
J.M.J.+
I am emailing in regards to our next peaceful prayer vigil which will take place on Saturday, the 23rd of August outside Planned Parenthood (345 Whitney Avenue New Haven) from 8am until 12 pm noon, the hours which the babies are scheduled to be killed by abortion. Please join us to to take an hour of prayer.
I just received the news that one of our fellow Helpers has been called home by the Lord. Larry Warn who had been an active member of the Helper’s movement here in New Haven for many years recently passed away. Prior to his death Larry became a spiritual supporter from home during his illness and remained united with us in prayer. His faithfulness and prayerful support never faltered throughout all of his suffering and challenges. His wife has asked that any memorial donations made in his memory please be made out to Little Miracles Crisis Pregnancy Center and sent directly to St. Margaret’s RC Church 3a Academy St. Madison, CT 06443.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him, may his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen.
Below is a pro-life article I received in regards to the deception of the abortion industry.

Former Abortionist Bernard Nathanson Exposes Lies of American Pro-Abortion Movement
"We were guilty of massive deception" says Nathanson about abortion industry
By Tim Waggoner
TORONTO, ON, July 29, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - On July 9, 2008, CFRB talk show host, Spider Jones, interviewed former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson about his past involvement in the abortion movement and his conversion to the pro-life viewpoint.
At one time Nathanson was deeply entrenched in the American pro-abortion movement, having co-founded the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) and overseen 75,000 abortions as director of an abortion clinic. During the CFRB program Nathanson recalled the deceitful and dishonest tactics that he and NARAL relied upon to push for the legalization and acceptance of abortion.
"We claimed that between five and ten thousand women a year died of botched abortions," he said. "The actual figure was closer to 200 to 300 and we also claimed that there were a million illegal abortions a year in the United States and the actual figure was close to 200,000. So, we were guilty of massive deception." "I mean as a founding member and chairman of the medical committee, I accepted the figures which came from a biostatistician named Christopher Tietze and he and his wife passed along these figures to us at NARAL. We were in no position to validate them or not, so we accepted them in the interests of higher standards, or at least higher objectives," he explained.
Nathanson's conversion to the pro-life movement was sparked by the advent of the ultrasound machine in the early 1970s. He related how his heart was moved to realize that a fetus is in fact a human being after he watched an unborn baby recoil from a vacuum abortion device before being sucked from its mother's womb.
Nathanson titled the video of this incident "The Silent Scream" and began using it to spread the pro-life message. Planned Parenthood, however, took a page out of NARAL's book when the abortion giant spread rumors that the video was a fake. Nathanson confirmed that these rumors, like the tactics of NARAL, were lies.
"Planned Parenthood was responsible for that," he said. "But it was not faked and what we did in order to validate it was to go to Dr. Ian Donald in Scotland, who is the father of ultra-sound, the inventor of ultra-sound and he looked at the film and he swore an affidavit that everything was as it was shown and there was no doctoring or manipulation or any changes in the speed or anything else."
Nathanson then addressed the fact that abortion is now used as a form of birth control - a result of another pro-abortion fabrication.
"One of the myths that was fed to the public through the media was that legalizing abortion would only mean that abortions taking place illegally, would be done legally. But in fact, abortion is now being used primary as a method of birth control all over the world and in the USA too."
Pro-abortion advocates "refuse to see what most people are now conceding, that the fetus is a human being and we have no business massacring it in large numbers," concluded Dr. Nathanson.

Silent No More News
J.M.J.+
I am emailing in regards to our next peaceful prayer vigil which will take place on Saturday, the 16th of August outside Planned Parenthood (345 Whitney Avenue New Haven) from 8am until 12 pm noon, the hours which the babies are scheduled to be killed by abortion. Please join us to to take an hour of prayer.
Below is some important pro-life news for CT.
May God bless you,
Mike and Kerry
Silent No More Awareness Campaign is an effort to make the public aware of the devastation abortion brings to women, men, and their families. We will no longer shroud the emotional and physical pain of abortion in secrecy and silence, but rather expose it and heal from the aftermath of abortion. We believe SNMA is a key effort in making abortion unthinkable and persuading society that women deserve better than abortion.
The campaign is a joint project of Priests for Life and Anglicans for Life and has three main goals:
· Make the public aware that abortion is harmful emotionally, physically and spiritually to women and others;
· Reach out to women and men who are hurting from an abortion and let them know help is available;
· Invite women (and men) to join us in speaking the truth about abortion's negative consequences.
We have a website where testimonies are posted and post-abortive women and men can sign up on http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org. Any sign-up information is forwarded to me and I can follow-up with them directly. Please pass this information on to any post-abortive women or men you may know. If you know anyone who is post-abortive and would like to join this group of over 7,000 post-abortion women and men, please pass the website information on to them and they can also call me with any questions.
I am planning a Silent No More Awareness Gathering at the State Capital in Hartford (north steps) for Sunday, September 7, 2008 from 2-4 pm. I would like to have the support of Bound4Life and others from your church if at all possible. I am also especially looking for pastors and clergy to support the women who will be speaking. This is the first gathering EVER in CT that I am aware of and we are trying to get as many women (and men) willing to speak and/or hold signs as possible and then enlist your prayer support and presence. I know Sundays can be challenging but would ask that you pray about it and let the Lord lead you. This gathering will be a first for many of the women speaking out so in the meantime, if you could pray for them as they prepare their testimonies (whoever the Lord wants there!) and for the team helping me to plan the gathering, I'd appreciate the prayers very much!!!!
We will be planning other events in the future and plan to participate again this year in the March for Life in Washington DC this upcoming January, 2009 and hopefully we will have a contingent of SNMA in Hartford as well. Both of these events would also be an opportunity to promote SNMA in CT. We also will be planning other events next year in different parts of the state to try to get more exposure for Silent No More Awareness in CT.
I am still trying to have Georgette Forney, one of the founders of SNMA, attend if her schedule permits. Fr. Pavone, Dr. Alveda King and Janet Morana are all traveling on this date so unable to attend.
Attached is a flyer you can distribute in your church or give to others who can help promote this gathering.

Since you cannot attend, can you please forward this information on to other pastors and friends who can help promote our event? Thanks!
Thank you for helping post-abortive women and men heal from the tragedy of abortion! If you have any questions, please give me a call.
