A Cry for Dignity: Next Week CEC For Life Heads to Philadelphia!

by

On August 25-26, the pro-life and pro-faith communities, national and local leaders, along with people of good will, will come together in Philadelphia to ensure the babies murdered by late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell receive a proper and dignified funeral and burial service.

The name of the event is called “A Cry for Dignity!”

Tragically, the Medical Examiner‘s Office has refused to release these babies to caring organizations and individuals to afford them a loving and compassionate funeral and burial. The Medical Examiner even locked faith and pro-life leaders out of their public office when they tried to find out more information about how these precious children would be treated.

Fate of Derzis’ Alabama Clinic in the Hands of Insightful Judge

by

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 5, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ — Pro-lifers in Alabama are very concerned over today’s hearing regarding a lawsuit from the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) levied against clinic owner Diane Derzis and abortionist Bruce Norman.

Though Derzis was made to surrender her abortion provider license in 2012, she and Norman have continued holding themselves out as an abortion clinic in the very same building, with Norman performing unlicensed abortions and Derzis deceptively managing the clinic’s staff and insurance through her Georgia abortion facility.

However, despite Derzis and Norman’s open disregard for any state law, ADPH reportedly struggled to create a solid case against the defendants in today’s hearing.

Dana Cody, Executive Director the Life Legal Defense Foundation, was present for the hearing and commented, “I was appalled by ADPH’s behavior at this hearing. They offered hardly any evidence, made no objections, and – to be honest – made no real attempt to defend the interests of the citizens they are meant to serve. If it wasn’t for Judge Boohaker asking some imperative questions himself and pushing to find the details needed to decide this case, I would say there was little hope. All we can do now is pray that this judge makes a good decision.”

August 5th: #ShutDerzisDown TWEETFEST!

by

Diane Derzis, also known as the “Abortion Queen” of the South, has decided she’s allowed to operate a back-alley abortion mill in Birmingham, Alabama! No license. No regulations. No concern for the lives of women OR children that have already been harmed by Derzis and her reprehensible abortionist, Bruce Norman.

The Department of Public Health (ADPH) has responded with a lawsuit against Derzis AND Norman, and their ongoing investigation (greatly aided by the work of Life Legal Defense Foundation) has uncovered a plethora of evidence to prove both Derzis and Norman are shamelessly breaking the law.

Now comes the court hearing!

Healing Retreat, from Abby Johnson & ATTWN

by

Dear Friends,

Please take the time to read the powerful stories below from former abortion workers who attended the healing retreat sponsored by Abby Johnson’s ministry “And Then There Were None” and conducted by Fr. Frank Pavone and myself.

Seeing these former workers surrender there hearts to Jesus and then willingly take part in this intense discipleship retreat where they participated in confession, repentance, forgiveness, grace and healing was one of the most joyful and rewarding experiences I have ever encountered.

In His Mercy,
Fr. Terry Gensemer

From Abby Johnson of And Then There Were None…

Last weekend, several former abortion clinic workers from all different states joined together for a healing retreat through ATTWN.  Father Frank Pavone and Father Terry Gensemer led the retreat and helped the former clinic workers open up. As the workers shared their stories with each other, they realized how much they had in common with one another.

Bitter divorce, broken families, drug and alcohol abuse, and abortions in their own pasts  were all major factors in these women’s decisions to initially begin working in the abortion industry. “I’m angry at my ex husband… the abuse,” said ‘Amy,’ who was employed by Planned Parenthood for many years.  “I felt worthless and thought ‘what difference does it make where I work?'”

Also common among former clinic workers is how secretive they were (and still are) about working in the abortion industry-it’s something they’d rather keep from their friends and family.  “I hate to admit that I ever worked at a place like Planned Parenthood,” said ‘Jamie,’ who had tears in her eyes.

“I still grieve the person that people think I am,” said ‘Molly.’   Even though she left the abortion industry many years ago, she still struggled with telling her adult children about it. “How can I tell them I was capable of that [working in a clinic]?”
