Priests for Life announces “Day of Invitation” to abortion providers
Every year on March 10, various pro-abortion groups observe a “Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers,” on which they pledge to write letters to papers and show signs of support and gratitude to those who do abortions.
This year, Priests for Life is inviting pro-life people to observe March 9 as a day when we extend to abortionists the call to repentance and conversion. There are many examples of abortionists who have become pro-life and stopped killing babies. Some of their testimonies can be found at www.priestsforlife.org/testimony/formerabort.html.
In observance of this day, we ask pro-life supporters to
a) Pray for the conversion of all abortionists.
b) Read the testimonies of the former abortion providers.
c) Write a letter to your local papers quoting one or more of these testimonies and inviting local abortionists to conversion.
d) Read some of the testimonies of those who have been injured by abortion (see www.priestsforlife.org/postabortion), and write a letter that helps educate others about the devastating effects of abortion.
e) Gather with groups who pray in front of abortion centers and pray for the conversion of the abortionists who work there.
f) Publicly challenge abortionists – again, through letters or calls to media programs – to describe the abortion procedure in detail to the public, and to tell the women who make abortion appointments about the dangers of the procedure and about the alternatives they have.
g) Tell your pastor about this special observance and invite him to speak about it from the pulpit.
Some may want to learn more about how to initiate dialogue with local abortionists and their staff. This can be a very fruitful area of activity, and if you feel drawn to it, we ask you to contact us at mail@priestsforlife.org to obtain more advice about how to do this. It is a very delicate and sensitive type of activity, but with the right kind of training and guidance, can be carried out very effectively. We at Priests for Life have a lot of experience in this area and are ready to help you.

Honestly, praying for those who perform abortions would be a good step. We mustn't stop fighting the abortion industry in the meantime, but recognizing the need for a heart change in the lives of people involved in abortions should lead us to yearn for their appreciation of the preciousness of human life.
