WORLDWIDE ROSARY FOR UNBORN BABIES SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 18th
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE (July 30, 2008) - The WORLDWIDE ROSARY FOR UNBORN BABIES prayer event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 18th, 2008. Participants will pray the Rosary during the 9:00 a.m. hour for the following intention: For an end to the surgical and non-surgical killing of unborn babies. Because participants will be praying the Rosary during the 9:00 a.m. hour according to the particular time zone they are in, it is hoped that the earth will be circled with multiple waves of Rosaries within a 24-hour time period. (If a person needs to, he/she may pray the Rosary at another time on October 18th, 2008).
" This October 18th pro-life prayer event gives people throughout the world a great opportunity to unite in prayer for unborn babies," said Patrick Benedict, President of the Saint Michael the Archangel Organization, the organization that is coordinating the WORLDWIDE ROSARY FOR UNBORN BABIES prayer event.
" The primary way to stop the killing of unborn babies is by using spiritual weaponry. One of the greatest spiritual weapons is the Rosary, and I encourage everyone to pray the Rosary on October 18th for the unborn babies," concluded Benedict.
In addition to participating, people are also encouraged to promote the WORLDWIDE ROSARY FOR UNBORN BABIES prayer event. The Saint Michael the Archangel Organization's website(www.SaintMichaelTheArchangelOrganization.org) has a one page information sheet about the prayer event available in the following languages: English, Italian, Korean, Polish, and Spanish. (Translators are still needed for Chinese, German, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Russian, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. Any person willing to do a translation may write a letter or send an email to PatrickBenedict@rcin.net.)
A person without internet access who wants more information about the WORLDWIDE ROSARY FOR UNBORN BABIES prayer event may send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: Saint Michael the Archangel Organization; P. O. Box 41257; Memphis, Tennessee 38174; United States of America.
(The Saint Michael the Archangel Organization coordinated the ROSARY FOR LIFE SUNDAY prayer event(October 14th, 2007) and coordinated the ONE MILLION ROSARIES FOR UNBORN BABIES prayer event(May 3rd, 2008). The Saint Michael the Archangel Organization does not know if the goal of one million was met for the latter prayer event.)
The Eucharist
May the Heart of Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised, adored and loved with grateful affection, at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, even to the end of time. Amen.

MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH
Planned Parenthood fails to open doors
'I think they cannot figure out a way not to comply with law'
Posted: July 21, 200810:31 pm Eastern
© 2008 WorldNetDaily
A state law that requires abortionists to inform women – before an abortion – that the procedure "will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being" apparently has done what no other pro-life protest has been able to accomplish – the closure of Planned Parenthood's abortion facility.
Today was the day for a federal court ruling affirming the South Dakota law to take effect, and as usual pro-life protesters gathered from several different organizations at the Sioux Falls Planned Parenthood business, as did several women who apparently had appointments.
However, a spokesman for the protest groups said no abortionists arrived and the women left after being counseled by the pro-lifer sidewalk counselors.
"I think Planned Parenthood cannot figure out a way not to comply with the law," said Dr. Allan Unruh, who with his wife has been integral in South Dakota's Vote Yes for Life campaign.
"We don't know if they will open again," he said. "Personally, I don't think they are going to find any abortionists who want to take the risk of losing their license."
That circumstance could arise if an abortionist fails to provide a woman with the state-specified information, all of which pro-life advocates describe as, and the court agreed was, scientifically accurate.
Such a failure now is illegal in South Dakota, and a violation could bring heavy penalities. Unruh said lawyers representing pro-life organizations said a violation could bring an abortionist up to two years in jail as well as loss of a medical license.
"This is huge. Time will tell what Planned Parenthood does," Unruh said. "Their attorneys are calling our attorneys saying, 'We don’t want to comply.'
"This is historic. For the first time in 35 years, Planned Parenthood has had to close its doors."
A WND call to the Planned Parenthood office late today got only an answering machine that said the office was closed.
The new law requires abortionists to explain to women that:
The abortion will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being;
The pregnant woman has an existing relationship with that unborn human being and that the relationship enjoys protection under the United States Constitution and under the laws of South Dakota;
That by having an abortion, her existing relationship and her existing constitutional rights with regards to that relationship will be terminated;
A description of all known medical risks of the procedure including depression and related psychological stress and increased risk of suicide
The law took effect because the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently overturned an injunction that had stopped its implementation.
It was a 7-4 ruling that lifted the injunction against the South Dakota informed consent abortion law. Attorneys representing the Alliance Defense Fund filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of the Family Research Council in defense of the law.
"A woman's life is worth more than Planned Parenthood's bottom line," said ADF Senior Counsel Jordan Lorence in a statement. "Anyone truly concerned about the interests of women supports making sure they have access to all the information necessary to make a fully informed decision. Planned Parenthood, on the other hand, has argued adamantly to restrict the information women have about the lives of their pre-born babies."
The court said U.S. Supreme Court rulings allow a state to "use its regulatory authority to require a physician to provide truthful, non-misleading information relevant to a patient's decision to have an abortion, even if that information might also encourage the patient to choose childbirth over abortion."
Unruh said not only would jail time be possible, but the door would be open for civil lawsuits, because the state law presumes that the woman is not fully informed about the procedure unless the specifics of the law are met.
He said the South Dakota pro-life movement suffered defeat only 18 months ago when voters, following an intense and costly ad campaign in support of abortions, rejected a state law that essentially would have banned abortions.
"We just changed our tactics to dry up the money," Unruh said. "Now with this disclosure law, the same initiative [is being considered] in North Dakota.
"States all over are going to rise up," he said.
It's hard for pro-abortion lawmakers to argue the plan, because they are in the position of having to argue that they don't want accurate information provided to women, he said.
"The regular abortions were cancelled today as the abortionist refused to show up, and we'll see if any other abortionists plan to take the risks involved with full disclosure of what they do to women and their unborn children," Unruh said.
"Now is the time for Christians all across America to get involved in the voteyesforlife.com campaign. We must win this initiative that will once and for all outlaw all abortions for birth control reasons," he said.

Planned Parenthood New Haven is certainly positioned to target the minority population. Here is an interesting article on this sad deception we witness each week. May we grow ever closer to our minority brothers and sisters and remain as their advocates in prayer, truth, and service.

MINORITY ABORTIONS
Abortion, by the numbers, is a racist institution. How so? Because abortion kills a far greater percentage of minority children in America than it does white children. The Alan Guttmacher fact sheet, Facts in Brief, reveals that, “Black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic women are 2 1/2 times as likely.”
The Centers for Disease Control, which has began tracking the number and characteristics of women obtaining legal induced abortions since 1969, gives us these numbers. White women, who make up 75% of the female population in the U.S., account for only 55% of all U.S. abortions. Black women, who make up 12.3% of the females in the U.S, account for 35% of all U.S. abortions. “Other races” of women fill out the remaining 12.5% of the female population and account for 10% of all U.S. abortions. In terms of actual lives lost, the numbers are staggering. Each year, almost a half a million black babies are lost to abortion (based on 2000’s 1.31 million U.S. abortions). That averages out to well over 1,000 deaths a day, 365 days a year. The Life Education and Resource Network (LEARN ), the largest African- American pro-life group in the country has produced a chart which compares mortality rates in the Black
community. It shows that abortion has claimed more than two and a half times more African-American lives since 1973 than the next fi ve leading causes combined. The Centers for Disease Control tell us that 285,826 U.S. Blacks died in 2000. That’s about half of the approximately 458,500 blacks who lost their lives to abortion in that same year. To put it bluntly, abortion has thinned the black community in ways the Ku Klux Klan could have only dreamed of. It is a shameful and hidden reality. The fact that many black leaders and organizations support abortion rights does not change the reality of what is happening. The numbers don’t lie. Population estimates show that blacks will soon lose their status as the nation’s largest minority group, and abortion has been a driving force in this population shift. From 1973 to 2004, approximately 15 million blacks have lost their lives to abortion in the United States! The 2002 census shows that the black population in the U.S. stands at approximately 36 million. That means that nearly 30% of the black population has been lost to abortion, more than one in four.
Of Planned Parenthood’s 850 nationwide clinics, almost 80% reside in minority communities. Is this a bizarre coincidence, or is it merely an extension of the eugenic principles that seem to have driven Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, a founder who is documented as saying, “We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”2 This statement, written in a 1939 letter to a colleague, can obviously be taken in one of two ways. Either she didn’t want the black community to wrongly assume that her efforts promoting birth control were an attempt to eliminate them, or she didn’t want the black community to find out that this is exactly what she had in mind. Planned Parenthood assumes the first, her opponents assume the latter. Based on the greater context of her writings, the truth likely lies in between. She probably didn’t have in mind the elimination of all blacks, but it is quite reasonable to concur that she did want to keep them in submission and in line. Whatever the case may be, the bottom line is this. Margaret Sanger’s vision of social purification was rooted in birth control and sterilization. Compared with abortion, these were minor threats to minority communities. Planned Parenthood’s contemporary vision of social purification is much more menacing. No longer is the organization driven by pregnancy prevention, it is now driven by pregnancy elimination. We can debate the racial intent of Planned Parenthood past and present, but we cannot debate the results. Abortion is by no means an equal opportunity killer. Abortion is by no means good for the minority.
