FRI, MAY 18 -- PLANNED PARENTHOOD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16: Mary, Eleanor, Sandy, Ed, and Carolyn stayed late on a rainy, cloudy day where spirits were as damp as their clothing. Suddenly a 21-year old woman, sobbing, exited Planned Parenthood, ran to Mary, and hugged her. "I'm not having the abortion!" she exclaimed. She didn't explain what changed her mind -- but we don't really need to know. The man with her was "ecstatic," according to Eleanor. That's baby #34.

Late news: last week there were two women who came out of Planned Parenthood and affirmed that they would not have the abortion; one on Thursday (#32) -- that one said she was going to read her Bible and pray the Rosary! -- and another on Saturday (#33).

PICKET OF ABORTIONIST: Saturday, May 19. We are praying for this abortionist’s conversion. And by picketing, we hope to also use the still-existing stigma of abortion as a means of persuading this and other abortionists to give up the trade.

The nation’s Catholic bishops have launched a new hard-hitting campaign against the Obama abortifacient mandate.
    They steadfastly opposed any “accommodation” with “unjust” laws and put forward plans for prayer, education and other initiatives to protect their rights from an overreaching federal government.
    The statement, “Our First, Most Cherished Liberty: A Statement on Religious Liberty,” was issued by the Ad Hoc Committee on Religious Liberty of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, proposes that “June 21 — the vigil of the feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More — to July 4, Independence Day, be dedicated to this ‘fortnight for freedom.’”

FRI, APR 20 -- On Tuesday, Julie and Carmel encountered a pair of women on the sidewalk outside of Women's Health in Brookline (most customers drive into the parking lot). A conversation ensued, followed by a trip to A Woman's Concern. Pray for this woman and her baby, that she remains determined to deliver the child, despite her difficult circumstances. This is #29 (it would have been #30, but the one we counted as #29 from last week called Eleanor to tell her she is not pregnant after all).

WED, APR 11 -- Today Eleanor was involved in saving a baby. She was about to leave Planned Parenthood this morning when she saw a couple come out. "Oh, hi! I'm still here! Is there anything I can do to help you?" They talked for a bit and once again by phone later in the day. They now have an appointment with A Woman's Concern. The mother is due in September. That's number 29!

Another late report: about two weeks ago, a woman passing by Planned Parenthood stopped to tell (and offer thanks!) Mary, a sidewalk counselor, that years ago she went into Planned Parenthood, but on the way in someone gave her one of the engraved Precious Feet pins: a 10-week preborn baby's feet. She looked at the feet while sitting in the waiting room and then left the facility. She now has a 17-year old son!

But on the way in, she had occasion to speak with a sidewalk counselor and received a "Watch Me Grow" brochure. In the brochure is an illustration of a ten week-old preborn baby; the same age as her own baby. As she sat in the waiting room, she realized she "couldn't do it." So, she came out and accompanied Eleanor to Pregnancy Help. (#24)

SAT, MAR 10 -- The War on Conservative Women By Michelle Malkin -- I'm sorry Rush Limbaugh called 30-year-old Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke a "slut." She's really just another professional femme-a-gogue helping to manufacture a false narrative about the GOP "war on women." I'm sorry the civility police now have an opening to demonize the entire right based on one radio comment -- because it's the progressive left in this country that has viciously and systematically slimed female conservatives for their beliefs.

FRI, MAR 2 -- There are a lot of reasons why Obama should lose the election in November, and lose BIG! But, there were a lot of reasons he should have lost in 2008, also, but he won!
    One major hurdle facing the survival of our nation -- the defeat of Obama being a necessary step to that end --  is the voters. Or, as I've called them, the Manchurian Voters, a counterpart to The Manchurian Candidate, from the movie of that name. Such voters have lost their spiritual moorings and much of their reasoning, and cast their votes in response to conditioned reflexes deriving from our liberal-dominated culture. The sad fact is, there are too many of them; maybe enough to re-elect Obama. Despite the economy.
    Corruption also afflicts -- and in many ways, starts in -- our religious institutions. Case in point is the Catholic University student who authored a recent column for CNN. She is a self-described product of "Jesuit education" and a "Catholic for contraception." An example of why our youth and clergy are in desperate need of prayer.

Also, if you're Catholic, don't give a nickel to the annual collection for Catholic University!

Rick Santorum is now under assault by the drive-bys, as Rush calls them. One of Santorum's supporters had the audacity to suggest -- via the old aspirin-as-birth-control line -- that virtue is superior to the sexual libertinism of Planned Parenthood. That supporter, Foster Friess, has been character-assassinated by our "news" manufacturers, who have indicted Santorum by association.

Rush Limbaugh provided a thumbnail sketch of Foster Freiss:

"Friess has been involved in numerous charitable activities. He and his wife run the Friess Family Foundation, whose activities include supporting Christian mobile medical services, sponsoring Water Missions International's work to provide clean water in Malawi, and donating to relief and recovery efforts following natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 Indonesian tsunami, and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Friess sponsored a matching grant program to raise $2 million for relief efforts for the 2004 Indonesian tsunami and personally traveled to the areas most affected by the earthquake and tsunami in order to speak with local church and organization leaders to identify the best efforts to support. He sponsored another matching grant for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, raising more than $4 million to support Katrina victims."

    That's who he is. A man of virtue. A man who's done far more for people than any liberal in politics today, from Barack Obama on down. And so now he has to be summarily destroyed, while we were told to ignore Jeremiah Wright. "No, Jeremiah Wright had nothing to do with Obama, there's nothing to see here."

For a good -- but long -- summary of this Santorum controversy, read the Rush Limbaugh transcript from today.

Rick Santorum, in defending himself from this latest attack on his pro-life, pro-chastity position, responded by noting that he has voted for Title X, the federal program that includes funding for contraception! (You'll need to click the link to the CBS News interview video to get that quote.) Which proves, again, there's no perfect candidate running! [But Santorum is our pick.]

TUE, FEB 14 -- On Tuesday, February 7, three women -- one of whom was pregnant -- talked with sidewalk counselor Eleanor and accepted pro-life information. But they went into Planned Parenthood anyway. Later, unbeknownst to the pro-lifers, the three came out and took themselves to Saint Elizabeth's Hospital where the pregnant woman got a sonogram. The ER personnel -- fortunately -- assisted her over to Pregnancy Help where she was counseled and confided she had decided against abortion! (#13)

FRI, FEB 3 -- A young woman, 14 weeks pregnant, came out of Planned Parenthood today and told sidewalk counselors Jane and Corrie that she decided against abortion and is going to keep the child! (#12)

Pro-lifers at Harvard Street had cause to rejoice on Wednesday after a couple made a brief visit to Women's Hell-th and then drove away. On the way out they stopped to speak with Howard and Theresa, and said that she had cancelled the appointment and that they were going to keep the baby (#11).

TUE, JAN 31 -- Pro-lifers were, as usual, outside of Marcus Gordon's abortion mill in Haverhill today. A young man who had brought a woman in talked with the pro-lifers. About 20 minutes later the man and the woman came out: "I want you to know I'm going to have my baby!" said the woman. (#10) She said they did not need any help, so did not avail herself of crisis pregnancy center help.

Bishops to Obama: "We cannot—we will not—comply with this unjust law."

FROM THE BLAZE: The Church is opposing a Health and Human Services Department requirement that employers must include contraception and abortion-inducing drugs in health-care coverage. While this requirement doesn’t apply to houses of worship, it will force Catholic colleges, hospitals and other Christian groups to provide these drugs despite their faith-based opposition to them.
    Recently, the federal government made one small concession surrounding the requirement, as officials decided to give church-affiliated hospitals and organizations another year before they will be forced to comply with the coverage restrictions.

FROM LIFENEWS.COM: Following the January 24 announcement that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has affirmed its controversial ruling which mandates that almost all employer health plans fully cover contraception, sterilization procedures and abortion-inducing drugs, Cardinal-designate Timothy M. Dolan expressed outrage that both the U.S. Constitution and the clearly expressed position of the Church were being ignored by an out of control administration. In this unprecedented confrontation between the Roman Catholic Church and the federal government, Archbishop Dolan called on Americans to bring the issue to their elected officials.

CARDINAL O'MALLEY'S BLOG: We are distressed to learn that today the Obama administration has decided to leave unchanged a requirement that all healthcare plans — including those offered by Catholic entities — provide sterilization, contraception and some drugs that can cause abortion. Instead, they have decided to merely delay the implementation of enforcing this new rule for one year. Link to the January 20 post, entitled "Literally unconscionable."

Clare was at Planned Parenthood Thursday (Jan. 16) and spoke to a young man who exited the facility -- hoping to encourage him to bring the woman out. On the way back in he talked with Clare and asked her what she would like to say to the girlfriend. Clare spoke -- as the man recorded her on his cell phone! -- and concluded with, "...don't do it!" And a short time later, the two of them came out! "You're going to keep your baby?" "Yes, I am!" said the woman. (#8)

WED, JAN 18 -- Today outside of Planned Parenthood, almost a repeat of last week.

    Eleanor, one of our sidewalk counselors, speaks with two women. Although both are pregnant, only one had an abortion scheduled. Thankfully, both were receptive to Eleanor's offer of help, so they went off to A Woman's Concern in Dorchester. (#7)

We nearly missed a woman as she headed into Planned Parenthood Tuesday morning, but she came over and talked with us and then accompanied Eleanor to Pregnancy Help. Ultrasound is scheduled for tomorrow. [Number 6 for 2012!]

An encouraging article about a bishop with some backbone!

A couple exited Women's Health Services in Brookline this morning without having an abortion. Their attitude was ones of sarcasm rather than conversion, however. So, this one -- number 5 for 2012 -- may not last. But that's true of many who turn around. Pray for their perseverance!

Connie, a sidewalk counselor called to tell us that a woman changed her mind at Planned Parenthood Friday morning. [#2]

Janet and Bill and Marie were at Planned Parenthood Thursday morning. There were a few exchanges with a young woman who had a scheduled abortion. At first she was adamant about the abortion -- her boyfriend had left her. But a while later, they came out of Planned Parenthood and Janet approached them. The woman confided that she had changed her mind -- "I'm not going to do it!" she said. [#1]

LATE REPORT:  A baby was saved from abortion at 111 Harvard Street in Brookline last week, on December 27. A woman went into Women's Hell-th but came out after a couple of minutes. On her was back in, she hesitated. Jean, a sidewalk counselor, called to her, "You don't have to go in!" The woman walked back to the car. After a brief, apparently angry exchange with her male companion, they drove away (#117).

SAT, DEC 31 -- The 2011 total for babies saved hit 116 today as a young woman chose life for her baby -- very much against her mother's wish. Judy and Evelyn talked to the woman and called her decision "definite."

WED, DEC 28 -- There were about eight pro-lifers - a sizeable group as these gatherings go -- outside of Planned Parenthood Wednesday morning. Frank, as usual brought roses for the pro-life ladies, who give them out to women approaching the clinic and to other passerby.

The morning was almost finished when Eleanor saw a baby in a stroller, accompanied by a man and a woman, on the sidewalk down the street. She approached and asked the woman, "Would you like to have this rose?" She accepted it, and they talked a bit about the beautiful baby in the carriage, age 2. "He's a miracle!" Eleanor said. They thanked her and mentioned that they have a six-year old at home, too.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Eleanor walked back toward Planned Parenthood and stood in front of the building. A few minutes later the woman strode toward her with a determined look. When she reached Eleanor, she put her arms around her and said, "Thank you for saving my baby!" It turns out that she was pregnant and was going to the clinic after all -- a thought that had not occurred to Eleanor when she spoke with them. But the rose and Eleanor's gracious greeting -- and the Grace of God! -- swung the decision the other way.

The morning was punctuated by the rest of the pro-lifers who came over to encourage -- an give $$! to -- the young couple; and to thank the young man for his military service (he recently returned from Iraq). (#115)

TUE, DEC 27 -- Eleanor waited in her car near Planned Parenthood this morning instead of leaving at 11:00 as she usually does. She was waiting for a pair of women who had gone into the facility around 10:30 am. She was about to leave around 12:30, but her cell phone rang. During the few minutes she was on the phone, the women came out of the clinic! She was able to have a very pleasant conversation with them and learned that the pregnant one is going to keep her baby! (#114)

SAT, DEC 24 -- Clare, a counselor outside of Planned Parenthood called to tell us that a woman who had come out of the clinic about a month ago has finally decided not to have the abortion (they have been in touch ever since) (#113).

On Thursday, Janet reported on a woman who went into Planned Parenthood last week: "The five-month pregnant girl DID come back out of the clinic; and she IS going to keep her baby, she said!! (#112)
     She was glad to get out of that Clinic -- P.P. turned her away; pregnancy is too far along -- and she was happy to have decided to keep her child.  She has two other children.

On Wednesday morning, a busy day at Planned Parenthood, Eleanor talked to a young woman, already the mother of a one year-old, scheduled for an abortion. But she agreed to accompany Eleanor to A Woman's Concern. Thanks be to God for #(111).

THU, DEC 15 -- Late report from December 10: Judy and Evelyn talked to a woman who came out of Planned Parenthood last Saturday after deciding against her abortion (#110).

A couple came out of Planned Parenthood today (Dec. 15) and told Janet that they had changed their mind (#109).

WED, DEC 14 -- SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10:  Providentially, at Women's Health Services, Harvard Street in Brookline, Steve was able to go right up to a car and converse with a couple, who accepted pro-life literature. They chose life for the baby and drove away. (#108)

John took a couple of young women, who came out of Dr. Gordon's Haverhill abortion facility Friday morning to the crisis pregnancy center. The pregnant one affirmed she will not have the abortion. (#107)

Eleanor, a sidewalk counselor called Wednesday to say, "I just got a telephone call from a woman, who said that she received the information and my telephone number months ago: she left Planned Parenthood that day, and walked away" -- which we just found out about! (#106)

FRI, DEC 2 -- Janet and Bill were at their usual post in front of Planned Parenthood yesterday.  They had a remarkable morning. (A) A Russian couple came, but left after deciding to keep "our new baby." (#103) (B) A second couple -- Hispanic -- came out and confirmed that they, too, had cancelled their abortion. (#104) A Haitian couple cancelled their appointment, causing their interpreter to be sent home; however, we don't know the nature of their appointment nor their situation. Also, a remorseful cab driver, after learning where he brought a fare, told other drivers not to go to 1055 Commonwealth Ave.

MON, OCT 17, 2011 -- Pat Buchanan has a new book, Suicide of a Superpower. Some excerpts are below. The Drudge Report has a longer excerpt.

"America is disintegrating. The centrifugal forces pulling us apart are growing inexorably. What unites us is dissolving. And this is true of Western Civilization.... Meanwhile, the state is failing in its most fundamental duties. It is no longer able to defend our borders, balance our budgets, or win our wars."

Chapter 3. The Crisis of Catholicism

“Half a century on, the disaster is manifest. The robust and confident Church of 1958 no longer exists. Catholic colleges and universities remain Catholic in name only. Parochial schools and high schools are closing as rapidly as they opened in the 1950s. The numbers of nuns, priests and seminarians have fallen dramatically. Mass attendance is a third of what it was. From the former Speaker of the House to the Vice President, Catholic politicians openly support abortion on demand.”

“How can Notre Dame credibly teach that all innocent life is sacred, and then honor a president committed to ensuring that a woman’s right to end the life of her innocent child remains sacrosanct?”

Cambridge abortionist, Nicola Louise Moore, is anonymous circuit rider. Operation Rescue exposed her. (LifeNews.com)

Why are things the way they are in the Boston archdiocese? One must be careful not to over-generalize, but we still believe there is a lot of insight  in Professor James Hitchcock's article, "Conservative Bishops, Liberal Results"
