"Have you seen this?"
"They're advertising 40 Days for Life for us!"
"This is the best response Planned Parenthood has to 40 Days for
Life?
"Wow. How pathetic."
"They wouldn't do this if 40 Days for Life wasn't
working!"
These comments were attached to forwarded copies of the latest mass e-mail sent out by Planned Parenthood to abortion advocates across the nation. What was all the commotion about? You guessed it: the growing impact of 40 Days for Life!
The message comes directly from Planned Parenthood's national president, Cecile Richards. She starts off: "From Aurora to America... The battle to open our clinic in Aurora, Illinois, might be over -- thank you for all your support -- but the war against Planned Parenthood and the women we serve continues. The anti-choice people have just begun their '40 Days for Life' campaign, and you can imagine what that means. Right now, there are picketers outside... more than 80 Planned Parenthood clinics across the country, 24 hours a day for 40 days. They're claiming it's 'the largest and longest simultaneous pro-life mobilization in American history.'"
Then Richards rolls out Planned Parenthood's response to 40 Days for Life:
- They created a fictional character named "Emily X" (who is supposed to represent a blend of different Planned Parenthood workers and activists) to post stories online of what it's like to work at the abortion operation.
- They set up a blog to post pictures and videos of 40 Days for Life volunteers (in an apparent attempt to harass and intimidate faithful people).
- They falsely characterize the motivations of 40 Days for Life volunteers.
- They ask abortion advocates to participate in the tired, old "pledge-a-protester" fundraising drive.
- They encourage abortion supporters to come volunteer at Planned Parenthood.
- They beg abortion activists to write notes of encouragement to boost the morale of Planned Parenthood workers during 40 Days for Life.
Tragically, the "Emily X" character even reveals the shame and guilt that some Planned Parenthood workers feel about their jobs:
"Last night, my mother-in-law called me at home. She told me that she just
read an ad in the local paper about the '40 Days for Life' campaign. She said that she wanted to get involved, she wanted 'to get out and do something about Planned Parenthood.' See, she doesn't know that I'm a doctor at a Planned Parenthood health center. It's a part of my life that I don't share with her."The bottom line: Planned Parenthood is investing quite a bit of energy in
response to 40 Days for Life. Would they do this if the campaign wasn't hurting
their business and tarnishing their public image?
Read this report I just received from a 40 Days for Life location, and YOU decide why Planned Parenthood is so worried...
"Despite today's steady downpour, the sidewalk was full of people praying for LIFE today! What a beautiful sight to see sometimes 20-30 people with umbrellas and raincoats, all united in prayer to bring about conversion of our nation and an end to abortion.
For those of us who have spent years at the Sidewalk all alone, having all of you there today was a miracle!
Tuesday and Fridays are normally killing mornings at the downtown Planned Parenthood, but again today like last Tuesday, we never saw the abortionist arrive. The escorts were getting frustrated at the no-show, looking at their watches frequently.
Last Tuesday, he didn't show up either and appointments had to be rescheduled. God is answering our prayers, so we PRAISE Him even in the storm.
As you go to bed tonight, just think of those good people who will be standing in the cold rain tonight in prayer."God is certainly bigger than Planned Parenthood's $902 million abortion empire......And with tens of thousands of people praying, fasting, and participating in peaceful vigils outside of Planned Parenthood offices, I believe the abortion giant now realizes that its days are numbered.
