Council Bluffs, Iowa

September 29, 2016

“Wow!” said Catherine, the local campaign coordinator. “The Holy Spirit is surely working in Council Bluffs, Iowa!”

She described the 40 Days for Life kickoff rally as “amazing! Please keep us in prayer that God chooses to close Planned Parenthood in Council Bluffs this campaign. We are all looking forward to standing together for Life.”

Rally speakers included Pastor Nathan Sherrill of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church (their web page features a link to the Council Bluffs campaign), Martin Cannon of the Thomas More Society) and Dr. Lloyd Pierre, who is involved with the abortion reversal pill project.

“May God bless your mission to unite us all to stand up and speak out for life and help to stop abortion!” Catherine said.

UNITED tour: DC and Maryland

September 29, 2016

The day got off to a wet start — but what’s a little rain on Day 1 of a 40-day, coast-to-coast bus tour? We started with a news conference in front of the US Supreme Court building …

… and headed straight for the newest Planned Parenthood abortion center in Washington, DC. This business just had its grand opening this week, but there have already been TWO 40 Days for Life vigils there while the building was under construction.

We stopped for prayer with Rev. Pat Mahoney, Fr. Bill Kuchnski, and numerous volunteers. Then it was back on the road for a quick stop at the Maryland state capital in Annapolis …

… before our second Planned Parenthood visit of the day. This facility in historic Annapolis is on a high-traffic street, which made for a great visible witness to the community. There’s a Heartbeat International affiliated pregnancy center right across the road … and four of that center’s staff members came out and joined us at the vigil.
