I'm not sure if these kind of actions are productive. I wish Mr. Terry would try an approach like Msgr. Phillip J. Reilly

Praying and counseling work better.

Mr. Terry is quite obviously a melodramatic fanatic who is doing nothing to advance the resolution of a complex issue.

Are you insane?

Our society has gone from the opinion abortion is "morally questionable" to "we don't care if it's murder."

"Praying and counseling" work better than what?

The link you posted to Msgr Reillys website shows a man who certainly does work pleasing unto the Lord but standing outside and praying for the babies being murdered inside does little to stop the murder. His own site gives the example of how praying outside clinics is like praying outside the room of a dying man in intensive care. That's true in the sense of the comfort it may give to the soul who is passing but the analogy ends there. People dying in ICU have already had everything done within our power to save their lives. If we are unwilling to go beyond prayer to stop abortion then the Lord is not going to do the rest for us. The Lord does for us what we cannot do. Terry and other pro-life leaders like the Center for BioEthical Reform http://www.abortionno.org/ or Walter Hoye http://www.lifenews.com/state3965.html are doing all they can to stop the death, not comfort the souls of the dying.

There comes a time, I think, when God waits to see what we’re going to do. Prayer didn’t stop Hitler, and it didn’t stop slavery. This is a test down here, and I think God steps back like a father on a little league field to watch his son, and is proud when his son does it for himself to earn the father’s pride.

Nick, do you want to tell Fr. Jenkins there are alternatives available and that God wants him to keep his baby?

I think this is a fine time and place for political theater. I'm surprised and frankly disappointed that nobody has occupied Fr. Jenkins's office yet.
