DAY 11: Not everyone’s excited by prayer

March 11, 2017

From anarchists to socialists, pro-abortion folks are getting angry … and it starts with a place I visited this week — San Francisco.

Case in point: a rhetoric-filled rant on SocialistWorker.org.

The writers of this string of clichés and talking points (you’re an “anti-choice bigot” according to this piece) were giddy and gleeful that pro-abortion protesters tried to disrupt the 40 Days for Life kickoff rally in San Francisco.

This line pretty much sums it up: “Anti-choice protests like these have helped create a climate that puts women’s fundamental right to choose what she does with her body into question.”

The writers declared victory for the pro-abortion side, a victory attained by “outnumbering and demoralizing” the 40 Days for Life group: “The counter-protest successfully blocked the anti-choicers in sight and sound.”

Truth is not determined by numbers. But if it was, then the attendance at nine years’ worth of 40 Days for Life campaigns in San Francisco versus the one day of counter-protests would be something to consider.

California is anything but demoralized — as proven by the record 41 locations hosting 40 Days for Life vigils right now!

Another Socialist Worker article referred to “an abortion rights emergency.” And that’s perhaps closer to the truth. These protests aren’t happening because the pro-abortion side is winning; they’re happening because the pro-abortion side is losing … even in California, long considered a bastion of support for legal abortion.

Vigils at 41 abortion centers and Planned Parenthood facilities in California represent a whole lot of prayer. No wonder abortion proponents are worried!

San Francisco, California

March 11, 2017

You won’t see it reported in the media — but the Planned Parenthood in downtown San Francisco closed a few years back after many 40 Days for Life campaigns.

“It was a miracle,” said Ron, the leader.

And Ron didn’t stop. He moved to another Planned Parenthood abortion facility in one of America’s most pro-abortion cities.

It’s not an easy location.

For 30 minutes, we were harassed by a lady who insulted us and filmed us as she accused us of being “gender supremacists.”

This doesn’t shake Ron. He’s from San Francisco … and he knows the vigil makes a difference. “Not only are lives saved, but just yesterday a women walked up and thanked us for being here. She then began to cry and tell us about the four abortions she had years ago. We spoke, hugged and gave her information on post-abortion healing.”

During our visit it wasn’t all persecution, as construction workers and passers by gave words of support and even asked to sign the bus!
