UNITED TOUR: Louisiana

November 1, 2016

At our state rally in New Orleans, we learned of one more baby spared from abortion!

Ben from Louisiana Right to Life had the honor of changing the “saved baby” tally on the bus. Ben also said he’d learned that the new Planned Parenthood center plans to perform 2,844 abortions each year.

The Planned Parenthood mega-center in New Orleans may be new, but so is the Woman’s New Life Center, which just opened to provide abortion-vulnerable women a real choice. Angie, who represents this organization, told us something we’ve heard again and again during the course of the tour: when it’s 40 Days for Life season, visits to the pregnancy help center increase significantly.

We’ve now topped 14,000 miles … and we’re headed for Mississippi.

Split, Croatia

November 1, 2016

It would always be a pleasant surprise to see Cardinal Raymond Burke praying at a 40 Days for Life vigil.

But what was truly surprising was WHERE he came to pray with the volunteers – Split, Croatia!

Marija, the local leader in Split, called it “a moment of grace.”

Cardinal Burke has long been considered a strong pro-life voice. And when he traveled to Split to talk about his new book, the people who organized his visit made it possible for him to pray at the vigil.

“The cardinal prayed with us,” Marija said, and “thanked those who prayed for their strong witness for the protection of life in front of the hospital … and invited us to be persistent in praying.”

“I’ve been blessed over the years to take part in many public manifestations of prayer and witness to the invaluable dignity of human life, especially of the innocent, defenseless, unborn so I am happy to join you in this prayer,” Cardinal Burke told the volunteers.

“Certainly it remains always true that prayer is the most powerful weapon to combat evil in the world,” he added, “so we pray that the great evil of procured abortion will be ended.”
