J.M.J.+
Dear Fellow Helpers,
I am posting in regards to our next peaceful prayer vigil which will take place on Saturday, September 19th 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. Abortion hours are also on Wednesday from 11-3pm as well as Friday from 8am - 12 noon. These days still need prayer coverage.
We cannot call ourselves pro-life people if we do not stand vigil and offer our love to the babies who die every day across America. It is not enough for us to care, we need to be there. God wants us to be faithful to His Will and for some reason, which is baffling, He wants to use us poor sinners who most of the time cannot see past our own noses to do something awesome by His grace. Let us never forget this and let us never forget that we get so much more from serving Him then we could ever give back. So if you have yet to come out and to pray your Rosary where the babies are dying every week…babies that we all know as our brothers and sisters in Christ or even more closely as our grandchildren, or nieces, or nephews, or cousins, or friends children…they need you to be there. And if you are wondering what you can do for God this week in an attempt to repay all that He has done for you be there and pray for the babies lives who will be spared and more importantly for those who will not.
May God bless you,
Mike and Kerry
Study Shows One Abortion Ups Premature Birth Risk for Women by 36 Percent

Toronto, Canada (LifeNews.com) -- A new study by a Canadian researcher finds that women who have just one abortion increase the risk of having a premature birth in a subsequent pregnancy by 36 percent. The research is the latest in a long string of studies confirming the link between abortion and premature birth.
With premature births leading to an assortment of physical and mental health problems for unborn children, the researcher says women should be told of the risk before having an abortion.
Dr. Prakesh Shah, a professor at the Department of Pediatrics at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto is the main author of the new study, published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
He found that women who have just one abortion in either the first or second trimester of pregnancy, when abortions are most routinely performed, have a 35 percent risk of having a low-birth-weight baby in the next pregnancy and a 36 percent risk of having a baby born prematurely.
The risk substantial increases for the millions of women who have had more than one abortion and become pregnant.
In those cases, women having multiple abortions have a 93 percent risk of subsequently having a premature baby and a 72 percent risk of having an underweight baby.
Shah says that the reason for the post-abortion problems in future births is likely because the abortion can cause damage to the woman's cervix.
The Canadian pediatrician and medical professor told the London Daily Mail that women need to be informed about these very real medical risks from abortion.
"When a woman comes for induced termination of pregnancy, she should be counseled about that risk. At least she will be able to make an informed choice," he said.
"I think it should not be used as a way of saying, this is bad and we should not be doing this kind of thing," he added. "There is an association which we should be aware of, and we should let mothers be aware."
The new research is an analysis of 37 studies around the world carried out between 1965 and 2001 to determine whether a previous abortion has any effect on subsequent births.
The new study follows on the heels of European researcher Dr Robbert van Oppenraaij telling colleagues at the annual European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology meting in Amsterdam that an abortion increases the risk of having a premature birth in a subsequent pregnancy.
He says one induced abortion raisers the risk of premature birth in a next pregnancy by 20 percent.
Two or more abortions raises the risk by 90 percent and doubles the risk of a very premature birth, at 34 weeks or less.
"It can be concluded that a history of abortion is associated with an increased risk for premature delivery and very premature delivery," he said.
In February, another study confirmed the link between abortion and subsequent premature births when a woman is pregnant again.
Dr. Manfred Voigt led the study, published in the German medical magazine Z Geburtshilfe Neonatol.
According to the research, women who have one prior abortion boost their risk for a very premature birth in a future pregnancy by 30 percent.
And last month, Roger W. Harms, M.D., a Mayo Clinic obstetrician and medical editor-in-chief, said abortions can cause women problems with subsequent pregnancies.Harm says there are definitely cases when physicians see "an abortion cause problems in a subsequent pregnancy."
"During a surgical abortion, the fetus is removed from the uterus — often with a vacuum device, a syringe or a spoon-shaped instrument with a sharp edge (curette) — as an outpatient surgical procedure," Harms explains.
In some cases, "a surgical abortion may weaken the cervix or cause scarring on the inside of the uterus."
"If such damage occurs, surgery may be needed to correct the problems before a woman can conceive again or carry a subsequent pregnancy to term," he said.
