TUE, AUG 31 -- Pro-life signs seized again at Planned Parenthood on Tuesday, August 24 by Boston Inspectional Services Division.  Sidewalk signs for businesses on both sides of Commonwealth Ave. were unmolested, as only pro-life signs were targeted.

A man was arrested on Saturday outside a late-term abortion facility in New Mexico after he threatened to shoot two pro-life women. A police SWAT team arrived and shut down the abortion center for two hours, preventing abortions from taking place. They cleared Boyd's clinic to search for the gun SWAT style. Everyone, including staff, had to come out with their hands up. Article in LifeNews.com

Can the Tea Party deliver? Can we restore America, or is the old America gone forever? -- Pat Buchanan

Pro-life attorney Tom Glessner notes that abortion is not prominent in Tea Party agenda.

THU, AUG 26 -- Looks like Planned Parenthood, Fitchburg is now open. Christine Hanley writes: "PP in Fitchburg did not have a clinic license on August 6 - the day that they were accepting appointments.  This was documented in the August 7, 2010 Sentinel and Enterprise.  I filed a complaint at MA DPH, and it still seems to be in process.  In the meantime, PP Fitchburg was licensed on August 18, and they had paper sign on the door - Tuesday 9-7 and Friday 9-4PM."

SAT, AUG 21 -- Connie, a sidewalk counselor reported another baby saved at Planned Parenthood in Boston on Friday (# 49 for this year). The young woman was tearful, but very happy she changed her mind. She left with a big smile.

THU, AUG 19 -- A woman came out of Planned Parenthood yesterday and told Mary, our counselor, that she decided against her abortion (# 48) after reading our pro-life brochure that, among other things, details some of the after effects of abortion.

TUE, AUG 17 -- Another baby saved today (# 47) -- at Planned Parenthood in Boston. There may have been another one at Marcus Gordon's Haverhill abortion mill -- after an extensive discussion with a sidewalk counselor, a young woman still was unclear about whether she would go through with the abortion.

MON, AUG 16 -- The City of Chicago has yet again dropped charges of “disorderly conduct” against another pro-life advocate accused by Planned Parenthood staffers of violating the city’s controversial “Bubble Zone” ordinance.

FRI, AUG 13 -- Late report: One week ago two women came out of the Planned Parenthood abortion mill and one of them, in tears, told Clare, a sidewalk counselor, "I could not do it" -- perhaps due to the ultrasound image she had seen (# 46).

The Haverhill Gazette covered our Face the Truth Tour visit there yesterday. Comment by pro-abortion passerby: "They're not screaming and yelling," she said. "The silence is telling. I'm impressed with how peaceful and organized they are." [!!] 

Tea Party quotes in USAToday, Aug. 13:

"We don't get involved in the abortion issue, the gay-marriage issue, because we feel like that's when it starts dividing people," says Nita Thomas, leader of a [Tea Party] group in Cincinnati.

Melanie Morgan, 53, of San Francisco, is a former radio talk show host who has been working with the Tea Party Express, a California-based group.
     "I would define the Tea Party movement as a fiscal movement. This is not a movement based on social issues. Many conservatives are involved only because of the fiscal aspect of smaller government, of lower taxation . . . These are the issues that motivate us, that animate us. We're not talking abortion and we are not discussing gay marriage or anything that even comes close to approximating those issues."

WED, AUG 11 -- Two sisters were heading into Planned Parenthood this morning and were told, "We can help." "How can you help?" asked one of the sisters. So, in they went, but the non-client sister came out and talked with Mary, our sidewalk counselor. She then agreed to go back into the clinic and talk with the sister. Finally, approaching noon, they came out and agreed to go to A Woman's Concern. After the ultrasound the sisters was all smiles. All indications are that the baby will not be killed (# 45).

Abortionist LeRoy Carhart was interviewed in Boston in early July, prior to Carhart speaking to a NOW conference. Carhart specializes in taking the lives of highly developed unborn children at a point where even hardened abortionists blanche.
     The interview with Deborah Becker is on radio station WBUR (www.wbur.org/2010/07/02/now-abortion-doctor). To her credit Becker continually returned to the question of "late-term" abortions, an imprecise term used employed by abortionists for their own purposes which both annoyed Tiller and which he defined for his purposes as 22 to 24 weeks.
     Becker begins by asking why does he perform these abortions? Tiller's Horatio-at-the-gate response is, "Someone has to do it"; it's "part of mainstream medicine." Read rest of article.

FRI, AUG 6 -- Howard and Joe were both holding their signs outside of Women's Health Services in Brookline this morning. They didn't see it coming -- from up the sidewalk came a woman, 50-something, heavy-set. Suddenly she started shrieking hysterically at Howard and Joe, mad with rage. She grabbed at one of the signs -- "Take away those signs!!  They're hurting me!!" Very abruptly, she turned and strode away down the sidewalk. On a related matter, Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President of Human Life International has just written a pair of books on abortion and exorcism.

Report on Opening Day protest in Fitchburg from Christine Hanley:
     Thank you for all the prayers offered up for the protest today, and, of course, thank you to everyone that came. We had a very good turnout. There were circa 20 people at many times, with an ebb and flow. Many people had been asking for more prayer at the protests and we did that throughout. Father Bruso led us in prayer, and appropriate to our new mission, reminded us to be kind and Christian to the workers. Father Bruso's presence meant a lot to all of us. Thank you, Father Bruso.
     Somewhat mysterious was the status of PP. Our calls into PP indicated that we could make appointment for today. PP would not confirm their opening date to the newspapers. There was a security guard (state policeman?) that escorted 2 women to and from the parking lot. I witnessed one woman, who was accompanied by her young son, talking to the guard, telling him that she was there for her 1:30 PM appointment. He would not let her enter.
     In any case, as PP is more than evasive in Fitchburg, the day of prayer and protest for their opening went very well.

WED, AUG 4 -- Planned Parenthood to open "Express" facility in Fitchburg on Friday, August 6. 
PROTEST for Planned Parenthood Opening Day
Location: 391 Main Street, Fitchburg, MA
Time: 1- 6 PM on Friday, August 6 RAIN or SHINE
Come for an hour -- or more!
The Fitchburg-Leominster MCFL chapter will be running coverage for all hours of the first opened day of PP.

Boston's Inspectional Services Division was back again last week, threatening to remove pro-lifers' signs set up in front of Planned Parenthood. Neighboring businesses still display their signs undisturbed on the sidewalk.
Another attempted sign theft, on the same day, was by a pedestrian -- but fast action by a pro-lifer retrieved the sign from the thief.

MassResistance reports that a number of bad bills failed just prior to the end of the legislative session on July 31.

Transgender bill. Despite the fact that over half the Legislature were co-sponsors -- supposedly guaranteeing passage -- and that it was the declared number-one priority of the homosexual lobby, the Transgender Rights and Hate Crimes bill (H1728) never made it out of committee. We chalk that up to the full court press by MassResistance and other pro-family groups exposing the horrors of this extremely radical legislation. In particular, hats off to Amy Contrada for her foresight in spotting it early on, and her 125-page detailed analysis of this extensive bill, which gave us the tools to confront it, describe it, and stop it.
Other bad "culture war" bills: Three other bills that failed in the final days are bills to legalize physician assisted suicide (H1468), remove parental consent on abortions for minors (H1746) and repeal the sodomy ban and other morality laws (H3536 and S1656). These were still alive in the Judiciary Committee, but MassResistance was on top of them right up to the end!

"I have been arguing in these columns that the stage has been set by the Roberts Court to sustain a series of pro-life measures that could take on a cumulative force." -- Hadley Arkes

Media plots: According to records obtained by The Daily Caller, at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate. Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.

WED, JUL 14 -- A visitor from Tradition, Family, and Property wrote about his experience at 111 Harvard Street in Brookline.

Lincoln or Kagan by Tony Blankley -- Forty-one filibustering senators can save the Republic this week. Or all 99 will surely be condemned by history for their failure to act when they had the legal power to do so.

O'Neill added."

SAT, JUL 3 -- The de-Catholicization of Caritas story has been getting some traction, thanks to CJ Doyle of the Catholic Action League.  Check out his recent statements on the matter. WBZ Radio and TV gave CJ some extensive air time on this, and the Wall Street Journal has a favorable article.  CatholicCulture.org (Phil Lawler) also commented.

Homeland Security's van was parked down the street from Planned Parenthood today. Why? It can't be us they are keeping track of, can it??

FRI, JUL 2 -- Located: abortionist Marcus Gordon, who moved out of his Methuen abortion mill, has relocated to Haverhill -- 288 Groveland Street, to be exact. Pro-lifers who picketed his Methuen location will be relocating there.

WED, JUN 30 -- Ed, one of our sidewalk counselors, talked to a couple before and after they went into Planned Parenthood this morning, finally seeing them change their mind about their scheduled abortion. [Apparently, seeing the ultrasound image in P.P. had something to do with it.]  They said they would go to A Woman's Concern.  That's baby # 40 as we have now finished half a year.

Planned Parenthood (Boston) and Women's Hell-th Services, Brookline are both OPEN on Saturday, July 3.

 
Marcus Gordon, Abortionist -- He evidently has moved out of his Methuen facility to a new address in Haverhill.  A couple of spies are checking that out.  More later . . .

FRI, JUN 25 -- We're entering the summer vacation season, and conservatives continue feeling confident that an electoral wave is going to wash over the opposition come November.
     But success in the fall is not guaranteed, and even if it ends in a GOP takeover of the House, as many predict, questions remain.
     One disturbing tendency of the old [Bush] regime is coming back: Fiscal conservatives are already selling out social conservatives in an attempt to build winning coalitions without them. How many times must the GOP learn this is suicide? (Brent Bozell)

In his book "The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America," McCarthy, the prosecutor of the Blind Sheik and a tough-minded realist, exposes the connection between the two groups and the danger they represent to most everything we hold sacred.

WED, JUN 23 -- Eleanor called today to say that -- just as she was dying to go home and get out of the heat -- a couple showed up at Planned Parenthood. They are married and have two children. As Eleanor told them about alternatives to abortion, the man said, "I'm against abortion." But unsurprisingly, they did indeed have an appointment at Planned Parenthood. But fortunately, Eleanor was able to prevail upon them to go to A Woman's Concern. That's # 39.

CJ Doyle one of few at public meeting opposed to Caritas Hospitals acquisition by for-profit group. Looks like "done deal."

OK to be "gay," says Hillary

Provincetown -- surprised? -- school policy: condoms for all students who ask; any age. Parental notification not required.

MON, JUN 21 -- Kagan hearings start TODAY. Kagan is not qualified. Her brief on military recruitment was turned down by all the judges on the Supreme Court. As Solicitor General, she argued in favor of muzzling advocacy groups like right to life groups. Again, the Supreme Court judges rejected her reasoning.
     Kagan is hardcore pro-abortion. She is on record taking positions that are pro-Partial Birth Abortion and pro-Physician Assisted Suicide.
     Please call Senator Scott Brown and tell him to oppose Kagan's appointment to the Supreme Court: 202-224-4543.

Planned Parenthood's missing millions: Planned Parenthood Federation of America's (PPFA) audits show the organization spent just $657.1 million between 2002 and 2008 from federal government grants and programs, but the abortion behemoth's own annual reports show that it took in $2.3 billion from government grants and programs during the same time period. (Washington Times)

The truth is that social and fiscal issues are locked in a political and financial embrace that cannot be pried apart. Those who emphasize runaway government spending and out-of-control debt and deficits must face the fact that those trillions of dollars are being spent by government on social problems. -- Phyllis Schlafly

FRI, JUN18 -- Two babies were saved yesterday @ Planned Parenthood (# 35 & 36), according to pro-life counselors Janet & Pauline. Then, this morning, two more women told sidewalk counselors that they had chosen Life for their babies (# 37 & 38). Thanks be to God!

FROM MASS. RESISTANCE:

Rainbow flag raised over Boston City Hall by politicians, city officials, and homosexual activists to celebrate “Gay Pride Week.” — ten truly hideous days of in-your-face perverted activities in Boston.
     It was officially kicked off on Friday, June 4 at noon — in an official ceremony — as a huge homosexual flag was raised over Boston City Hall, next to the US Flag and Massachusetts Flag. It will stay there until next week!

 
This weird event was sponsored by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino [Catholic Charities' "Man of the Year"], and featured a speech by Boston City Council President Michael Ross, flanked by other City Councilors along with other city officials. Also speaking were various radical homosexual activists. They all spoke on the common theme that the homosexual movement is going to be fighting even louder and harder to push their agenda throughout society. From what we saw, there is no question that the Boston political establishment is marching in lockstep with them.

And it gets even worse.

At the center of all the festivities — as Grand Marshall of the Gay Pride Parade — is “Grace” Sterling Stowell. Stowell is a man who dresses as a woman and runs a homosexual / transgender “youth” organization, BAGLY. As a member of the tax-funded Massachusetts Commission for Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Youth, he goes to public schools across the state!! At the flag-raising ceremony, Stowell spoke about the “need” to keep kids involved with the homosexual and transgender movement!

But what was truly scary is the degree to which so many powerful politicians are wholeheartedly and energetically supporting this, and are willing to use their power to help advance the agenda. One almost feels embarrassed for them. Do they actually believe this nonsense? Or have they just sold out?

And forget about the media on this.

And as usual, all the public depravity of “Pride Week” will be officially ignored in all the media. No one will be exposing this or even talking about it. Even the so-called “conservative” talk show hosts on the big local talk stations — forget about it. They don't want to go there. They’d rather be at Tea Parties talking about taxes. It’s a lot safer than tackling this stuff.


The Republican Party’s candidate for Lt. Governor
gives his support for the week's events, even advertising in the program!

This weekend a swarm of politicians from Gov. Deval Patrick on down and major prominent corporations march in (and sponsor) the “Gay Pride Parade.”

Check out the MassResistance blog.

SUN, JUN 6 -- A couple left Women's Health Services Friday morning after sitting in the parking lot for a half-hour or more. They never went in to the abortion facility, nor did we see them come back. A little speculative, but we're going to count this as # 31.

SAT, MAY 29 -- This quote came from the Czech Republic.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

FRI, MAY 28 -- Good news: two (2) babies (# 29 & 30) saved -- definites, said Eleanor -- on Wednesday @ Planned Parenthood.

Craven Jr. urging the State Deputy to suspend such members.

MON, MAY 3 -- There's some room for doubt, but we're calling this one # 26. A couple arrived on Monday morning at Women's Health Services in Brookline and walked to the abortion facility door. Jean, a sidewalk counselor, called out from beyond the buffer zone line, "If you're pregnant, your baby's heart is beating!"  The woman abruptly turned around and walked across the parking lot and got back into the SUV. The male companion joined her. They apparently talked for some time afterward, and the man got out and walked around to the vehicle's passenger side three times. After 20 minutes of talking, they drove away! (# 26) They never went back into the abortion mill.

Late report: on Wednesday, April 21 a woman came out of Planned Parenthood after seeing her husband talking with Ed, a pro-life counselor, outside of the abortion mill -- observing him from inside via Planned Parenthood's security camera. She had hoped he was being talked out of the abortion (# 25). She came out and after talking, prayers, and tears with the several pro-lifers present, both husband and wife left happy that they had chosen life!

FRI, APR 30 -- A must-see film. Is this our future?

Report from Janet, a sidewalk counselor, from yesterday at Planned Parenthood:
Thank you Jesus...
    A couple.. man black.. woman white and blonde. .. a very unlikely couple.. nevertheless, they came to P.P... arguing. Woman then left man behind and walked several steps ahead of him into the Clinic.
    Gave it our best shot ! and less than a half hour later.. the couple walked back out.. hand and hand.. smiling and happy. Asked if the needed any help..and the couple said.. they were all set!  [
# 24]

P.S.: Mothers are still bringing their daughters to the Clinic... this I will never understand ! How can you fight a Mother... one who is suppose to protect and give truth to their daughters... who does the child then listen to? The mother, of course. It is the most difficult of dilemmas!

SAT, APR 24 -- Two more babies saved this week at Planned Parenthood, according to sidewalk counselor reports. On Tuesday, a woman who had seen the ultrasound image of her baby inside Planned Parenthood came out (# 22) after changing her mind, according to our sidewalk counselors.

TUE, MAR 30 -- Ruth, a sidewalk counselor, reported that a baby was saved each of the last two Saturdays (# 16 & 17) at Boston's Planned Parenthood.

Hadley Arkes wrote: Sunday, March 21, 2010 is a day that will live in infamy, or as one wag put it, live in “infirmary.” For that is the day on which the House of Representatives voted into law the national takeover of medical care.

Well, it seems to be in the bag now. I try to be a sunny the-glass-is-one-sixteenth-full kinda guy, but it's hard to overestimate the magnitude of what the Democrats have accomplished. Whatever is in the bill is an intermediate stage: As the graph posted earlier shows, the governmentalization of health care will accelerate, private insurers will no longer be free to be "insurers" in any meaningful sense of that term (i.e., evaluators of risk), and once that's clear we'll be on the fast track to Obama's desired destination of single payer as a fait accomplis.

Soon the pregnant friend came out and spoke to her friend, after which she decided against the abortion! Mari, a sidewalk counselor, reported: "I went back over to the car again. And I asked M. if she decided to keep her baby and she smiled and said, 'Yes I am keeping my baby.'  They drove away both very happy!!

TUE, FEB 9 -- Women's Hell-th Services opens:  Globe covers us at 111 Harvard St.
A letter to the Globe reporter who wrote the article linked above:

Hello, Mr. Parker,
     I read your February 9th article, "Abortion Protesters Show Up ...
     "You focused on complaints that the protesters' signs and graphic images scare young children. You failed to inquire as to what, exactly, it is about such signs and images that might be frightening.
     Children, in seeing things without the filter of preconceptions that adults almost inevitably accrete, can at times be more perceptive than adults are. Those signs and images ought to scare, not only children, but any decent person; that is their intended purpose. It is ridiculous to admit that a sign or an image is upsetting, without acknowledging that the reality it depicts is far more upsetting than is the mere image of that reality. But if there is nothing wrong with pregnant women hiring someone to kill their preborn children, why should an image of a killed preborn child be upsetting?
     You wrote the superficial story, but ignored the underlying reality. -- David Rydholm

The Puppet Masters: George Soros and the Obama Administration -- The meteoric rise of Barack Obama to the pinnacle of political power despite his woeful lack of leadership experience, lends credence to someone pulling strings like a puppeteer. All the signs point to the leftist/atheist George Soros. Read January 2010 issue of the Mindszenty Report.

THU, JAN 14 -- Our third baby (# 3) of the year was saved at Planned Parenthood yesterday. Mary, our sidewalk counselor, spoke her male cousin who had accompanied the abortion-minded woman. He went back into Planned Parenthood and persuaded the young woman to come out -- after which she was "exuberant."

Number 4 was this morning: Baby's father did NOT want the mother to abort this morning. They went inside, came back out and went back inside again.  Just as we were about to leave and getting into our car Fr. Andrew noticed that the couple had come back out once again. Only this time they kept walking. He ran to our car and said, "LOOK!" I ran after them and, sure enough, the husband said, "SHE ISN'T GOING TO DO IT!"  When the couple got inside their car I looked in and said, "Thank you Jesus! You are really keeping your third son." And she smiled, "Yes," as she shook her head. I can't tell you the look of relief that comes over a couples face when they do the right thing.
    A very good morning with Br. Pio, Fr. Andrew, Sean and Marie.

Operation Rescue announced today that it is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of abortionists who are breaking the law.
     The campaign, known as Abortion Whistleblowers, is encouraging abortion clinic workers and others to come forward and tell what they know about abortion clinic abuses.

"Democrat Martha Coakley is the voice of the “little people” the way Ted Kennedy was the voice of sobriety. If Massachusetts voters want another privileged liberal who talks a good “social justice” game while ignoring public corruption, pocketing gobs of money from Beltway fat cats and pandering to corporate special interests, Coakley’s the one."

A baby saved (# 2) today, too! Lorraine called today about a baby saved from abortion this morning at Planned Parenthood. The weeping young woman came out of the facility, very happy that she had changed her mind.

THU, JAN 7 -- Fr. Thomas Euteneuer spoke to LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) at the HLI office in Rome and said that he anticipates a disaster like the collapse of ancient civilizations, but on a global scale, as a result of abortion and the abandonment of Judeo-Christian values in the West. (Read the complete interview here)

Janet emailed us about sidewalk counseling this morning at Planned Parenthood. A woman saved her child this morning (# 1) at Planned Parenthood. Her parents came to pick her up.. Mother got out of the car went inside. Father waited out in front of P.P. Mother and daughter came back out smiling. We asked, "Did you save your child?" A resounding "YES" was spoken. We hugged, asked if they needed any help and they told us they did not. They went happily on their way, with both parents and new mother smiling and laughing!

WED, JAN 6 -- Maybe Brown can win! Rasmussen poll shows Coakley ahead by 9 points, but among respondents "certain to vote" her lead is a mere two points!

TUE, JAN 5 -- Globe article on the respective stands of Brown and Coakley on abortion

Looks like Brown is TOAST -- hard to rebut Globe's analysis.

MON, JAN 4 -- Contrary to an earlier report we had received, Planned Parenthood remained CLOSED Saturday morning. The sign on their door said that their "Holiday" schedule included being "Closed" on Friday, January 1 and Saturday, January 2.
     Perhaps our earlier information was in error. Or perhaps their schedule was revised as a result of the weather forecast.
     As I told Ruth Schiavone, who was also out there Saturday, "I'd rather show up and have them closed than show up and have them open!"

"We have seen the number of Planned Parenthood non-express clinics fall from a high of 938 in 1995 to 797 today," said Jim Sedlak of STOPP. "More significantly, 2009 saw the rate of Planned Parenthood closings go from one a month to over two a month." Full story at LifeNews.com.

TUE, DEC 29 -- Nancy Pelosi said in a new interview that the "free will" of women wanting abortions outweighs pro-life Catholic teachings.

At the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the question is not whether we will preside over the creation of a New World Order, but whether America's decline is irreversible. -- Pat Buchanan

THU, DEC 24 --  Report from an abortion mill sidewalk today:  "It was SO busy at the Clinic, like never before. Cars were actually lining up to drop off the girls! One right after another. At one point, there were four cars letting the girls out! Taxi Cabs, too, dropping off the girls.
     "Busy, busy busy! And I am very glad we did go to Planned Parenthood this morning. They may be closed for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but today...!  They did enough for all of the three days that they will be closed.
     "Very depressing, until we got the SAVES [two, # 98 & 99].  That makes it all worthwhile. Thank you JESUS!!" -- Janet, a sidewalk counselor

Post-script: The two saves followed a remote recital of Christmas carols by Father Tom DiLorenzo conveyed by one of the pro-lifer's cell phones to the sidewalk. "The prayer of the righteous man availeth much."

WED, DEC 23 -- A baby saved today at Planned Parenthood's abortion mill (# 97), reported Eleanor. The woman left the facility and waved to Eleanor as she drove away.

"You're not going to believe this!!" said Janet, who called Thursday (Dec. 17) morning after leaving Planned Parenthood where she and her friend Mari counsel on Thursday mornings.
     After reviewing her account of the morning, there are a solid five children (# 92-96) saved -- and maybe as many as eight!  
     According to Janet, the changed women started coming out of the abortion facility just after two other anointed ones arrived -- Brothers Michael and Pio, of the Franciscans of the Primitive Observance (FPO). They were key -- by the Grace of God, of course! Brother Pio prayed, while Brother Michael counseled and prayed.
Dec. 17, 2009, from Janet:  PRAISE GOD!!

1 & 2.   "AK" and her friend came back out when she was told.. "SHE IS CARRYING TWINS."  This positively changed her mind.

3.   NICKY and her boyfriend, after going inside, came out saying they would keep their child.
4.   Two girls, "L" and "M," who was pregnant. They were also making an appointment for a third girl who was pregnant. L called her friend, and conveyed our message that help was available -- she will be calling Monique at AWC for an appointment.

5.   YUPPIES came in a Mercedes... older white couple. They came back out, and happy!!  Br. Mike walked to their car and the woman rolled down her window, thanked Brother. Both were pleased with the decision to keep the child.
6. & 7.   Older Black Couple -- Woman was crying, husband was hugging her walking toward P.P.  Brother Michael, Marie (a third pro-life woman), and I talked with them. This woman, too, was CARRYING TWINS. They told us, "NO abortion." She just wanted to see the ultrasound and find out how far along she was. They went into PP, and had not come out before we left. [??]
8.   An older couple -- looked like heavy metal rockers -- came out of P.P. and left. Look relieved but didn't talk to us, and were not receptive earlier. [??]

SUN, DEC 13 -- Deaf at the Cathedral Tour was in front of Holy Cross Cathedral yesterday and today. Led by Randall Terry, four local pro-lifers joined Terry and three friends to issue an urgent public plea to Cardinal O'Malley to enforce Canon 915, denying Holy Communion to politicians in the archdiocese who support abortion.
     The tour made stops at cathedrals in nine states -- Boston is the last -- whose Catholic politicians support abortion but are allowed to receive Holy Communion. 

FRI, DEC 11 -- Baby saved (# 89) at Planned Parenthood this morning, according to Connie, our sidewalk counselor.

Population control is not an answer to any problem, not starvation, not poverty, not environmental degradation (both real and imagined). It is an idea based on hate and deep ignorance. The fact that it popped up at Copenhagen is telling. -- Editorial, Investors Business Daily

THU, NOV 12 -- Closed Massachusetts abortion mills a "deep concern" for NARAL. None left on Cape Cod!  Barnstable Patriot: "According to a report published in October by NARAL Pro-Choice America, five outpatient facilities in Massachusetts specializing in women’s health, including abortion care, have closed since 2002. That number includes all of the facilities on Cape Cod. ... She is also concerned with the effect some protestors have had on practitioners and the closing of women’s clinics."

SAT, AUG 29 -- On The Funeral: “No rational person can reasonably be expected to take seriously Catholic opposition to abortion when a champion of the Culture of Death, who repeatedly betrayed the Faith of his baptism, is lauded and extolled by priests and prelates in a Marian basilica. This morning's spectacle is evidence of the corruption which pervades the Catholic Church in the United States. The right to life will never be recognized by secular society if it is not first vindicated and consistently upheld within the institutions of the Church itself.” -- excerpt from CJ Doyle's press release for the Catholic Action League.
