Since even before Planned Parenthood opened their huge "Abortion Fortress" last year, we have been there praying, protesting and reaching out to the community.

Why? Because it's a matter of life and death.

Over the course of the last 6 months or so since we began our "40 Day Prayer Vigil" (that lasted 55 days), many, many people have come to pray at the PP facility that have never before been active in any pro-life activity. Aurora area churches have mobilized and are manning our Life Support hours, to pray for the women and staff and the unborn children.

The "first-time" people that I have spoken to have been amazed at what spending an hour praying outside the PP facility has done for them. It has reinvigorated people, deepened people's faith and helped people take a more active stand for the lives of the most vulnerable of people.

Let's hear from the first-time prayer-people. How has this effected you, or changed you?

Thank and God Bless,
Roger

"Abortion clinic protesters have no plans to stop" reads the headline of an article in today's Aurora Beacon News. They've got that right, and this past Saturday's protest and clinic witness seminar signify how strong the pro-life commitment remains in the Fox Valley.

Are they "nuts"? The Reproductive Justice and Access Act nears the height of insanity.

The bill states "that every individual possesses a fundamental right of privacy with respect to reproductive decisions", yet for "pregnancy terminations", that same individual does not have a right to hold her "medical professional", aka the abortionist, responsible for any harm done during the abortion.

In Section 25, "Pregnancy terminations", it states: "a qualified medical professional is not liable for civil damages or subject to criminal penalty relating to a pregnancy termination performed in good faith". [Continue reading . . . »]

We had another great turnout for our monthly protest at Planned Parenthood Saturday. More than 130 people participated in the big picket line along the bike path on the south side of New York Street. Another two dozen gathered across the road from the abortuary to pray and offer help to abortion-bound mothers.

God is working powerfully through our Sidewalk Counselors! I just got word today of two other young mothers turning away from Planned Parenthood and choosing life. These stories come from Kristine, a regular sidewalk counselor and prayer warrior. If you're not out on the sidewalk, stories like these ought to get you there. Sign up today, and be a part of this crucial work!

I am a counselor at PP and I would like you all to know the two miracles that have happened in the last two Saturdays.

Last Saturday, February 2, a woman and her aunt were going to turn into PP and were distracted by us waving our literature. As they passed us up they saw Randy's graphic abortion sign and started to cry, leaving an open door for us to talk and pray with them. [Continue reading . . . »]

On Friday, Karen from Holy Angels Church and Sandy from First Presbyterian Church had the great blessing of helping a couple at Planned Parenthood choose life instead of abortion! Great work Karen and Sandy! Here is the story in Karen's own words

On Friday, Feb. 8, I joined the dedicated pro-lifers from First Presbyterian Church in Aurora to pray and offer help to the women at Planned Parenthood.

In the last half of the morning a man pulled out of Planned Parenthood's parking lot and stopped to accept my literature. He had brought a woman to the clinic before I had arrived. [Continue reading . . . »]

Ok, so what's it going to be this year? And how long is it going to last?

Are you going to (again) lose weight? Or start exercising? Or maybe you've decided to really get better at those "Thank You" notes?

Well, how about a "New Year's Resolution" that can really make a difference? [Continue reading . . . »]

My daughter passed by the clinic early Christmas morning and saw something inside the fence of the vacant lot at Planned Parenthood. She drove around to see it better and saw it was a manger.

She took pictures of it and I will try to put the pictures on here. After church we all took a ride out there. Two statues, a wooden shelter with words on it and an empty manger sits in the field and faces the clinic.

Clinic witness Joe B. shares this story of a woman who turned away from abortion at Planned Parenthood and chose life for her baby. Thanks to Joe and all those who brave the cold to pray and counsel.

I thought I would pass this great success story from the prayer vigil on Saturday December 8.

Between noon and 1:00 p.m. Ginny N., Alfredo P. and I were standing across from the entrance to Planned Parenthood. Two women between ages 20 and 25 came out of the clinic and got into a Burgundy four door sedan (maybe a Pontiac or Buick).
