New York Abortion Clinic Closes Today; Was site of 40 Days for Life Vigil

WASHINGTON, DC - "We rejoice with pro-lifers in Rockland County, New York today," said David Bereit, national campaign director of 40 Days for Life, "as they celebrate the closing of an abortion facility that was responsible for ending the lives of untold numbers of innocent unborn children over its many years of operation. The unceasing prayers of these faithful people have been answered."

Abortion Services at 200 East Eckerson Road in New City, N.Y., was one of more than 50 clinics across the nation where 40 Days for Life prayer vigils were conducted this spring. "My family and I visited that particular clinic vigil on a snowy night earlier this year," said Bereit. "My wife and children were photographed alongside a young man who carried a sign reading, 'Nothing is impossible with God.' That is certainly the case here. The prayerful efforts of many pro-lifers over the years have won this victory. We are humbled to know that people participating in the 40 Days for Life campaign may have played a role in the peaceful closure of this abortion center."

Bereit said there are also reports that two Planned Parenthood locations where 40 Days for Life prayer vigils were held have stopped performing abortions. One is in Lincoln, Nebraska and the other is in Council Bluffs, Iowa. In both cases the cessation of abortions was unexpected. "40 Days for Life leaders in both cities are unsure of the reason," said Bereit, "but they suspect it is because no abortionist is available since both facilities previously shared the same abortionist. We also know that in Lincoln, at least one mother decided against abortion after learning Planned Parenthood was no longer providing them. She took that as a sign from God that her baby was meant to live."

In addition, local 40 Days for Life leaders are reporting that a number of children saved from abortion during 40 Days for Life campaigns have now been born. "In just the past few days, we've heard from 40 Days for Life groups in Greenville, South Carolina; Providence, Rhode Island and Sacramento, California," said Bereit.

"The births of these children are among the most awesome blessings people have witnessed because of the prayerful outreach of 40 Days for Life. As we talk with more people around the country, we're confident we will hear more such stories of God's action in our midst."

40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that features 40 days of prayer and fasting, constant peaceful vigil outside an abortion facility and intense public outreach. Plans are now under way for another round of concurrent 40 Days for Life campaigns this fall. These events will be conducted from September 24 through November 2.

Maybe not.
You know, people think war or politics are the only ways to change things, but The real changes come when people who know the Lord pray together, in agreement, about issues in thier communities.

I remember when a woman I know who hosted a weekly Bible study/prayer and fellowship time in her home for ladies in the Church who lived in her neighborhood heard that a topless night club was opening in her neighborhood, which had nothing like that before. Seh and her ladies decided to hold prayer vigils at the property, and to pray there for it not to be ble to open in their community. They prayed more than once, at the spot. It did not open.
I know more stories, but God answers prayer, when people seek Him diligently, with honest hearts, He hears and answers.

I’m a firm believer in prayer … my life is governed by prayer. However, I’m also a realist and know exactly what these bloodsuckers will do for the “almighty dollar”. ;-)

That does not negate the power of “two or more” Born Again in Christ Believers agreeing in prayer “as touching any thing”....In fact; it is a mandate for the Believing Chruch to “bind and loosen’ in agreeing prayer about those strongholds “in heaven” [the one over earth, where the rulers of darkness, those principalities and powers, have reign/rule from until Jesus returns]and “on earth”.

This is not “dominion warfare” theology, just what Jesus said He gave His Church the authority to do....but it is not easy, fast food type of answers, as it takes commitment, prayer together, fasting, and perseverance to see the job done.

Look at the book of Acts, chapter 12; when Herod killed James and had Peter shut up in prison, hoping to do the same to him, The Church gathered at Mary’s house[Mary who was Barnabus’ sis; Mark’s mother] and prayed without ceasing for his release. -So and angel came to the prison, awakened Peter, opened the prison doors, and took him out.
Peter thought he was dreaming, at first, and the Church members praying at Mary’s thought the maid saw Peter’s “ghost” at the door [sometimes it’s hard to believe you have the answer, even when you do -but Jesus suffers us still].

Good news. New City is liberal hell, former home of Kurt Weill and Lotte Lenya.

Praise God! Every time an abortion clinic closes, you can almost hear satan shrieking in anger.
