Thursday, March 11 found several young mothers standing outside the abortion facility at noon. A change from the usual time of 2pm and one that God used to His advantage. He sent His strongest warriors to pray and prepare early that day. And pray they did!
An estimated five women returned at 5pm to take the deadly RU486 pill that has killed 6 women and injured over 1100 in the United States alone.
Quite a drop from the estimated 13 babies lost last week.
Our prayers are with them as they contemplate what the RU486 pill is doing to their little child inside them. We pray that they will go for help for the anguish they will suffer. We pray they will call 1-800-395-HELP for answers to the questions they will have.
Thursday, March 4, an estimated 14 mothers stood in line for abortions. One young mother, chose life and drove away in a cab after being in the abortion center only a few minutes. The young mother left smiling and waving and gazing intently on the the gift of blue Rosary beads whose color blue reminded her of the possibility that the child she was carrying was a boy.
As the hours passed, an estimated 13 women emerged from the abortion facility after taking the RU 486 pill which begins to kill the baby by denying the baby nutrients. The mothers deliver their babies on the weekend, many alone and faced with the realization of what they have done as they see the lifeless baby perfectly formed.
Over 40 people gathered to pray for these mothers and fathers on Thursday. The parents and babies continue to be in our prayers.
The abortionist who does surgical abortions at the facility has resigned. Now we must pray fervently that the abortionist who dispenses the RU 486 pill will also realize the horror of what is happening with this RU 486 pill and will resign. Please come to pray with us Thursday, March 11 as together we stand for the little ones. An estimated 2 babies out of 10 are saved by people standing outside the abortion facility. We have no idea how many were saved Thursday by those mothers not showing up for their appointment.
Update: On Thursday, Feb 25, no babies were lost to abortion. Over 25 spiritual supporters stood on the sidewalk from 8am til 6pm and praised God that no babies died in the City of Columbia from abortion. Thanks to all who prayed for this victory. What will God do next at 711 Providence Rd in Columbia? Check back for the rest of the story.
UPDATE: On Thursday, Feb 18, an estimated ten babies were lost to abortion. Over 30 spiritual supporters stood on the sidewalk from 8am til 6:30pm and prayed to God for conversion of hearts. We have no idea how many appointments were broken as Planned Parenthood schedules for abortion an estimated 15 - 20 babies every Thursday.
YOU can help save lives! We are still praying!
This fall, from September 23 - November 1, our community joined the largest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history -- the 40 Days for Life campaign. We are continuing to pray together every Thursday for the unborn babies, their parents, their extended families, the staff and supporters of Planned Parenthood, legislators in our state and national capitals, and our country.
40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life effort that consists of:
-
40 days of prayer and fasting
-
40 days of peaceful vigil
-
40 days of community outreach
We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our city -- and throughout America.
LATE BREAKING NEWS!!!
40 Days for Life Spring 2010 campaign BEGAN FEBRUARY 17TH AND IS ONGOING.
Take a stand for life
While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside the local abortion facility.
You can help make a life-saving impact by joining our local peaceful prayer vigil at:
PLANNED PARENTHOOD
711 PROVIDENCE RD
COLUMBIA, MO
During the 40 Days campaigns we maintain a prayerful presence from 8am to 6pm every day.
The rest of the year we maintain a prayerful presence outside the clinic EVERY THURSDAY, the day that abortions are performed at the Columbia Planned Parenthood clinic. Abortions are typically started mid afternoon and continue all day up to 7pm and sometimes later. You will find us there from noon (and earlier) until the last staff person of the clinic leaves (typically 7-8pm).
There is quite a bit of parking on the side streets which intersect with Providence Blvd. Please do not park in Planned Parenthood's parking lot.
Be not afraid! God needs your physical presence to help in our battle with the evils of abortion. God needs you to stand and pray to end abortion. Babies are being saved at this location because of physical presence, prayer and fasting on Thursdays ~ the day abortions are done.
