Friday, March 10, 2017, 9:30 AMRichards took to social media to proclaim, “Planned Parenthood is proud to provide abortion – a necessary service that’s as vital to our mission as birth control or cancer screenings.”
With 40 Days for Life vigils at more than 130 Planned Parenthood locations right now, we know that Planned Parenthood is “proud” of abortion.
But what about the women who have abortions at Planned Parenthood? You will not see pride on their faces -- or peace. Only despair and loneliness. Planned Parenthood is finished with them at that point.
When you pray at a 40 Days for Life vigil, you're the first sign of mercy and hope for the women leaving the abortion facility. Your presence and compassion could make an impression that will last forever.
Many women will accept information on post-abortion healing. Abortion is a lie. But unfortunately, it can take time for that to sink in.
Pride in abortion is simply nowhere to be found in the parking lots of Planned Parenthood. Their disconnect from the women they claim to serve has never been more pronounced.
Be that sign of mercy by finding your nearest 40 Days for Life location.
Keep praying that all Planned Parenthood workers – from the receptionists to Cecile Richards – would experience a change of heart and abandon this cold-hearted business.
With God all things are possible -- ALL things.
