Vigil July 18th...A Special Invitation For You.


J.M.J.+

Dear Fellow Helpers,
I am emailing in regards to our next peaceful prayer vigil which will take place on Saturday, the 18th of July 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 take an hour of prayer. Abortions also take place on Wednesday from 11-3pm and needs prayer coverage. Last Saturday there was a baby spared from abortion at PP and the testimony of a mother who chose life 17 years ago at the Children's Hospital at Yale. She was going to have an abortion but chose life and now her daughter is 17. She was so happy to share her joy with me! It was an awesome grace. Two babies saved past and present...God's grace knows no bounds or time constraints! We will never know how our prayers are answered until eternity but our God is listening and is faithful!

Before and after you read the article below please say a prayer for our fellow human beings who think this is ok or do not think about this at all. Please pray for their conversion to see that a life without God is not life at all but only death. Please pray for our youth who are growing up thinking that abortion is “a reason to have a party” God help them to reach in their hearts and find Jesus who is the Truth, the Way, and the Life! God have mercy on us and on the poor forgotten souls of the preborn babies who only asked to be loved and got a death party instead.
These babies who are scheduled to die on Saturday I am sure would ask you to come out pray for them if they could. However sadly they cannot offer an invitation. On their behalf please join us in prayer to plead for their lives and to console them in love.


May God have mercy on us,
Mike and Kerry

Abortion Parties? - When Abortion Becomes a Lark


"What are you going to do?" Unnecessary question, really -- a conversational life vest, used when you’re sputtering for something to say. We knew the answer. Maggie, a 22-year-old college senior with no intention of bringing a child into the world yet, was going to have an abortion. She told us that she had already made up her mind; she had even determined the time, date and location. A better question might have been, "How are you going to pay for it?"
She answered that one before we had a chance to ask. "We’re having a party Friday to raise money," Maggie said. "You guys are obviously invited."

By Patrick B. Craine
July 9, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Despite the fact that throughout the West abortions continue to take place by the tens of thousands, abortion is still generally portrayed as a grave issue, not to be taken lightly, a difficult decision. Hilary Clinton, one of the world's foremost advocates of abortion, herself has described abortion as a "sad, even tragic choice to many, many women."
For some, however, it seems that abortion is just another reason to throw a party.
In a recent article published on AlterNet, 'My First Abortion Party', writer Byard Duncan relates his experience of attending a party thrown by his friend 'Maggie' so as to raise funds to pay for her abortion.
Duncan describes walking into the party, being "bludgeoned with a blast of hot air, followed by the tangy stink of dance floor revelry."
"Someone had taken a red bed sheet and hung it below a light fixture to resemble a giant womb," he says. "Every so often, a dancer's head or arm or dreadlock would brush against one of its smooth folds, creating a rippling effect."
A self-described "ardent pro-choicer," Duncan nonetheless says he felt uncomfortable with the whole affair. "When I got the invite to a friend's abortion party, I thought it was a way to help her through a difficult decision," he says. "I was right and wrong."
The party, ironically, was 'family-friendly,' he says. After arriving, Duncan "struck up a conversation with Andrew (name changed), the three-year-old son of one of the partygoers."
Uncomfortable by the presence of a young child, he acknowledges the contradiction of a young child participating in the celebration of the murder of another young child. "Even though I thought the presence of a young child at an abortion party was a little bizarre," he says, "nobody else seemed to acknowledge (or care about) this contradiction."
His friend 'Maggie,' the pregnant host of the party, did not enjoy the party either, he says, but her reason apparently had nothing to do with the fact of her having an abortion, but because she was being poorly treated by friends for involving her boyfriend in the decision.
"Maggie, too, looked less than excited," he says. "She told me she couldn't help but feel as though her pregnancy had been 'hijacked' by women who felt like her inclusion of a man in the decision was weak or wrong."
Despite the difficulties, however, the party was, in the end, a roaring success. "By the end of the night," Duncan says, "the donation bowl was overflowing with contributions from Maggie's friends."
More shocking, perhaps, than this fundraising party, however, is the 'Middle School Abortion Party' discovered by LifeSiteNews being advertised online.
The ad for this theme party - a birthday party for two men in their mid-20s - states: "no, we will not be performing abortions, but we will be dressing up like nerds, bullies, and pregnant pre-teens! Yay!"
The ad showcases the title of the party inside a coat hanger, and includes pictures of examples of people to dress up as. Among the suggestions are a "pregnant pre-teen," an "angry priest," accompanied by a picture of Pope Benedict XVI, and a "deformed neonate," with a picture of an unborn child.
Indicating the activities for the night, the ad states: "Spin the Bottle! Truth or Dare! Pin the Tail on the Stillborn Fetus!"
