DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

40 Days For Life: DAY 12: Who Planned Parenthood fears most

Nothing terrifies the abortion industry more than an abortion survivor.

Every survivor forces society to confront the fact that every aborted child is just as human as you and me.

Perhaps that explains the push to legalize infanticide--especially for children who survive failed abortions. It's easier to just kill an abortion survivor than to reconcile her existence with support for abortion.

"Set them aside and make them comfortable." That's been the refrain from abortion fanatics holding elected office. It almost makes cold-blooded murder sound compassionate.

Melissa Ohden knows better. She was set aside, left to die of neglect following her mother's forced-but-failed abortion.

A nurse with a conscience saved her life. Today Melissa's alive and well and joined this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast to share her story and discuss how she's given a voice to abortion survivors everywhere.

And, in case you missed them, check out these podcasts highlighting the abortion industry's late-term abortion and infanticide push:

Virginia Beach, Virginia

The woman entering Planned Parenthood already had two abortions. This one would be number three. "She just wanted 'that thing out of her,'" said Dawn in Virginia. "This woman needs lots of prayers."

An encounter earlier this week with another woman left on a more hopeful--but still uncertain--note. Cheri, who operates a mobile pregnancy center in Virginia Beach, persuaded an abortion-bound woman to get a free ultrasound before she makes her decision.

Pray that she makes the right choice!

Zagreb, Croatia

Nearly EVERY city in Croatia is holding a 40 Days for Life campaign!

The Zagreb campaign team prays in front of the Sisters of Mercy Hospital--around the clock. A group of pro-life men known as "Night Watch" keeps the vigil unbroken until daybreak.

My power is made perfect in weakness.

—2 Corinthians 12:9

Lord, during these forty days, we ask that with each day of this sacred vigil, everything in us that separates us from your perfect will would be pruned from our hearts and souls. In this blessed freedom may we experience a powerful anointing of your Holy Spirit.
