There was a meeting yesterday at Shady Grove PCA of local clergy, pro-life activists, and the director of the Christian Defense Coalition. The purpose was to pray about this new evil coming into our community and discuss the appropriate response.
Very few doctors in the country perform these types of procedures and there are currently no abortion clinics in Maryland that perform abortions after 19 weeks. LeRoy Carhart is a very prominent late-term abortionist, and will perform the procedure up to the 9th month of pregnancy. He is moving from Nebraska now that the state has outlawed abortions after 19 weeks.
Our pastor forwarded this information he received about late term abortions from Gail Tierney, Director of the Rockville Pregnancy Center: “Late term abortion can be performed up until the day of birth. It involves inserting a needle into the baby's heart, injecting medicine which will produce a fatal heart attack. This is done on viable babies.”
LeRoy Carhart could begin performing late-term abortions at Germantown Reproductive Health Services as early as Monday, December 6. There will be a prayer vigil and press conference held outside the office on Monday from 11am-1pm:
Germantown Commons Shopping Center
13233 Executive Park Terrace, Germantown.
Organizers are expecting that both local and national news will be reporting this event. The event will be peaceful and organizers are working with the police department. The intent is to stand up for these defenseless babies and to publicly show that the faith community and others in Montgomery County are opposed to the practice of late-term abortion in our community. Please come out to the vigil if you are in this area, and wherever you are pray that some change will come out of this event.

This is such sad news! Partial-birth abortion was made illegal under Bush, but with one stroke of the pen, Obama has allowed this atrocity to continue! Logic does not seem to prevail here when a teenage girl who gives birth prematurely is accused of murder after throwing her baby in the trashcan during prom, yet a doctor who partially delivers a full-term baby and then ends his/her life goes away scott-free!
This link is old and many of you have probably seen this clip, but I love hearing this woman tell her story of surviving the Abortion Holocaust. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rztaZbzPOro&feature=related
Hi musicalKEY -- thanks for posting that link. I would encourage all my readers to watch the video. It is a powerful testimony from Gianna Jessen, who survived a late-term abortion. Jessen was severely burned and has cerebral palsy due to the botched abortion, and is a passionate and eloquent defender of human life. Jessen's very existence testifies to the murderous intent of abortion.
