When Our Nearest of Kin Want to Kill Us


Please pray for our Charlotte Cities4Life teams. The abortion center is open, using medical equipment such as masks that are in short supply. Meanwhile those noble healthcare workers fighting Covid-19 who are treating patients to try to PREVENT death are at risk themselves from mask shortages. 

The abortion centers which provide (at enormous self-profit) elective killing of thousands of babies a day are open in our nation. The rest of us have been told to shelter at home, avoid gatherings, only go out for essential purposes, cancel all non-essential medical interventions/visits. Small businesses are closing their doors per the CDC and state requirements. Many will be closed permanently in the wake of the economic devastation. 

But the multi-million dollar for profit abortion centers are open for business as usual.

I myself have strained vocal cords. I have self-diagnosed with the help of a friend who is a speech therapist and is fairly certain I have nodules on my vocal cords, judging from the symptoms. I won’t go see a doctor until the overwhelmed hospitals and health care workers are no longer dealing with the pandemic.

Nonetheless, at least forty abortion-minded mothers and workers gathered yesterday at the abortion center where our sidewalk counselors minister. This large group collected in a small building. Against the CDC request of no gathering greater than ten, and no non-essential surgeries.

Yesterday in the cold, pouring rain, our team gave out several of our life-saving/Gospel focused literature. We offered help, hope, truth, and resources so they could make a choice other than abortion. We spoke to every woman entering that place. We begged them to turn to faith in God and not to fear. We did not stand aloof from the plight of the babies while their nearest kin plotted their death. 

One woman chose life. We rejoice in her choice, and pray she did not contract coronavirus while in the midst of that tightly packed group inside the building.

Please pray for Cities4Life teams as we are committed to being there as long as that evil place is open. If you are moved to contact your legislators and demand that the non-essential practice of abortion cease in the midst of this pandemic, please do so. Better yet, remind them that the inhumane, barbaric, evil practice of the killing of unborn children should be legally prohibited forever. The last people any of us should fear are our closest of kin...our own parents.
