From 40 Days For Life: DAY 5: You're a fanatic!

Deacon John,
The headline on SocialistWorker.org gets straight to the point: "40 ways to oppose 40 Days for Life."
If you read the article, you'd think the sky was falling.
"Anti-abortion fanatics will descend on women's clinics around the country ... [and] harass women outside of clinics in attempts to disrupt the clinic 's ability to provide health care," the rhetoric-filled diatribe begins.
Of course, a typical 40 Days for Life vigil looks like this ...

... and it is successful precisely because it is prayerful and peaceful.
And it must be working, as the pro-abortion author recommends countering 40 Days for Life by getting involved in activities such as raising money for pro-abortion causes and pursuing health care "reform" that requires mandatory abortion coverage.
The writer also links to a collection of purported pro-abortion "truths" – such as the myth that 5,000 women died annually from illegal abortions prior to Roe v. Wade.
The man who came up with that figure – Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a founder of NARAL – admitted after his pro-life conversion that this infamous statistic was a flat-out fabrication.
It's a sign of desperation, which is all the pro-abortion side has.
As for "anti-abortion fanatics" harassing women … well, accusations are a dime a dozen. But since pictures are worth a thousand words, here's a quick look at a number of 40 Days for Life vigils around the world.
See for yourself!

The King will answer and say to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me."
—Matthew 25:31-46
Gracious and merciful Father, we renew our dedication to defending the unborn and all whose right to life is compromised by our godless society's selfish lack of concern. Free us from our own failures and sins so that we will be truly pro-life in every area of our lives.
