A couple that volunteered at the All Women’s Health Services was so moved by the abiding vigil in the past year that they stopped the work, joined the prayer, and are in the process of becoming Catholic.
I wish "Operation Rescue",would have adopted this simple method,instead of their confrontational style.
The Eugene clinic performed 1,400 abortions in 2001.... Now, the only abortion clinics in Oregon are in Portland, Salem and Bend. But doctors in 10 Oregon counties reported to the state in 2000 that they opened their offices to perform abortions.I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade, here -- the closing of any abortion mill is definitely cause for celebration -- but it sounds to me as though abortion mills do not do enough business to be economically feasible and that the new trend is toward private practitioners who perform abortions as part of their practice.
Would you know whether the number of abortions performed annually is down in Oregon, overall, or just the number of abortion mills?
=== But many say the somewhat mysterious closure may have come because of the Catholics who have come out every Saturday and many Wednesdays to pray for the pregnant women and the unborn children.
I hope they will continue to offer their thanks in prayer. I know I was impressed -- each week at the five-decade rosary for life -- when our family friend and inveterate pro-lifer would open each week with thanks for the closing of the abortion mill in Mary Esther, Florida.

Any idea precisely where one searches state records to find out what hospitals and private practice physicians are performing abortions?
