40 Days for Life Days 19, 20, 21 - Pray for These Courageous Legislators
40 Days for Life: "CONGRATULATIONS to Virginia State Sen. Ken Cuccinelli who took a leap of faith to introduce an amendment to strip tax funding from abortion giant Planned Parenthood in his state.
Wednesday’s vote was tied at 20 to 20 before Lt. Governor Bill Bolling cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of the amendment!
The final state budget will be decided over the next week, and it is very likely that the Planned Parenthood amendment will now be part of the budget negotiations.
We’re all quick to complain when things go wrong in our culture. Now let’s send a resounding thank you to Sen. Cuccinelli and Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling for taking such a bold “leap.”
No matter where in the country you live, this action is a big boost for the fight against Planned Parenthood. Please e-mail these men and congratulate them for their courage:
SEN. KEN CUCCINELLI: district37@sov.state.va.us
LT. GOVERNOR BILL BOLLING: bill.bolling@ltgov.virginia.gov"

Baby's Life Saved By Eight Year Old Boy
An eight-year-old boy went with his older sister to pray with a 40 Days for Life group in Bakersfield, California and wound up saving a baby's life. A pregnant woman had been talking with sidewalk counselors for an hour. "Little Hugo stood nearby listening as Denisha explained her reasons for scheduling the abortion. She has two young children who were taken away by Child Protective Services. She expects to get her children back at an upcoming court date, but being pregnant again could complicate the situation. She was also afraid to tell her parents that she is pregnant." The boy listened and then said, "Your mom didn't abort you." to read more visit: 40 Days for Life:Scroll all the way down to Day 19 blog entry.

List of RU-486 Abortion Deaths - Vigil Days 11 and 12
There is a conspiracy of silence which keeps the truth about abortion from the public. When women are hurt or killed by abortion the mainstream press ignores it.
When unsafe abortion clinics are closed, it is reported by only a handful of local papers. This site lists the women killed by the RU-486 abortion pill I wonder if the young women scheduled for these abortions are told abortion sometimes kills women in addition to killing her child. Visit:

Operation Rescue Healthy Baby Narrowly Escapes Late-Abortion At Tiller’s Clinic Vigil Day 5 and 6
"Last September, a 22-year old woman and her mother arrived at George Tiller’s Women’s Health Care Services in Wichita, Kansas, for an abortion. The pregnant woman had been sent to Tiller’s abortion mill by a doctor in Reno, Nevada, who had told her that her baby suffered from dwarfism, water on the brain, and a number of other fetal abnormalities. He also told her that if she attempted to deliver the baby at term, she could die. Fearful for her life, the woman made the trip to Wichita, KS" Upon talking to a sidewalk counselor the mother agreed to get an ultrasound at a pregnancy help center. Read about the outcome visit

Scranton's 40 Days for Life Prayer Team Receives Blessing
Reading II
1 Cor 1:26-31
Consider your own calling, brothers and sisters.
Not many of you were wise by human standards,
not many were powerful,
not many were of noble birth.
Rather, God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise,
and God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong,
and God chose the lowly and despised of the world,
those who count for nothing,
to reduce to nothing those who are something,
so that no human being might boast before God.
It is due to him that you are in Christ Jesus,
who became for us wisdom from God,
as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption,
so that, as it is written,
“Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord.”
With only a few days advance notice,a beautiful Mass was planned for the success of Scranton's 40 Days for Life Prayer Team. Attended by 36 people, young and old alike,the Mass was celebrated by Father Ed Buccheit and Father Christopher Sahd.
Father Ed gave a homily with sentiments that all who pray out on the street in front of Planned Parenthood can relate to. Our weapons he said are small plastic rosaries on which we pray the Mysteries and the Chaplet of Mercy. And they are sometimes difficult to manipulate when your fingers are frozen. Father Ed also made mention of the Jeep in the parking lot accross the street from Planned Parenthood. It has a tire on the back with a tire cover that reads "Life is Good". Father remarked this has given him encouragement from time to time as do the beautiful mountains. I also have been encouraged by the reminder, "Life is Good". At the end of the Mass Father Ed gave a special blessing to prayer team members.
Our thanks to Father Ed and Father Sahd, Father Connor and our bishops who allowed us to use the Cathedral, Marge Reidmiller who served as Eucharistic Minister, and Mary Ann Haas who served as lector. Thanks to Donna Davis, Theresa Baux and Mary Ann Haas who with only a few days notice, made phone calls and helped to publicize the Mass.

I want to share with you informaion about Planned Parenthoodin this section. Today there is an article by Gary Bauer about Planned Parenthood's campaign contributions to political candidates:
"What does Planned Parenthood do when it’s not destroying unborn babies? It raises money to help elect politicians who will pass laws that will make it easier for Planned Parenthood to kill babies. Planned Parenthood is already raking in record amounts of taxpayer-funded subsidies (over $305 million in 2006) and record-high revenues (close to $900 million in 2006)." Article continues here:
