Changing of the guard: Hillcrest closes, Potomac to open

The prayer vigilers at the 40 Days for Life campaign at Hillcrest abortion clinic in Catonsville were only in their third day of prayer when they saw a large dumpster delivered to the premises. The next day, they watched as workers moved office furniture and equipment out of the building hous- ing the abortion mill on Baltimore National Pike. The pro-lifers’ curiosity was piqued: which of the many offices in the seven-story building was moving out furniture? Could it be Hillcrest—and might it possibly be closing? Four days later, on February 18, “A worker from another office in the building came out and talked to us,” Young pro-lifers paint a message asking workers to stop remodeling said 40 Days Baltimore Campaign the old Hillcrest abortion facility in Catonsville: (in foreground) Mary Director Kim Frazer.

Since 1987, DEFEND LIFE has brought the most outstanding speak- ers in our entire movement to parishes and schools in our area.

In addition, we have provided these speakers ABSOLUTELY FREE to parishes because of wonderful do- nors like YOU!

A FEW CHURCHES WHERE WE HAVE BEEN 10 DEFEND LIFE • March – April 2016 11

A FEW MORE BEAUTIFUL CHURCHES WHERE WE HAVE BEEN

The BAD NEWS is this. There are well over 200 parishes in our region that have not yet hosted one of our superb speakers! Why is this important? Because, our speakers will pro- vide the spark for serious PRO-LIFE activity at these parishes. This grows our movement! It hastens the day when abortion will be but a terrible memory in America’s history! Here are examples of some obstacles we face. • At a fairly new parish in our area, the founding pastor was asked by a PRO-LIFE activist if he could organize such an effort. The pastor said NO! My activist friend persisted and went to the parish council who overrode the pastor. For 15 years, he headed the PRO- LIFE committee. • At another area parish the who had been there forever actually disbanded the PRO-LIFE committee. • A new pastor was named when this Monsignor finally retired. A long-time friend of this new pastor, who had known him from his youth, approached him about having one of our speakers. He answered he didn’t want to do anything for a year. Effectively, he said NO! • Another pastor when approached recently said that he wanted to focus on fightingas - sisted suicide in Annapolis. That is very admirable, but are we not capable of fighting both abortion and assisted suicide? Can we not walk and chew gum at the same time? • Another common excuse we have heard repeatedly over the years goes like this: Is the speaker you are offering on the approved list of Archdiocesan’s speakers? We’ve been trying to find that list for years but so far it has eluded us. We finally concluded that no such list exists! So here is what I am asking YOU to do: Please serve on our DEFEND LIFE Advisory Council. As such, you will have one simple duty. Once a year, try to open the door for one of our Lecture Tour speakers at just one of the more than 200 parishes in the Archdio- ceses of Baltimore and Washington plus the Dioceses of Arlington, Wheeling-Charleston, and Harrisburg that are not listed above. That’s all you will have to do. Simply open a door for us at one of these 200+ parishes. There will be no meetings! All communications will be by phone or e-mail. Please let me know I can count on you to help by simply e-mailing me or just calling me.

Long Live Christ Our King,

P.S. When you e-mail me, be sure to put “ADVISORY COUNCIL” in the subject line. Jack Ames, Director Enclosure 410-337-3721 [email protected] 12 DEFEND LIFE • March – April 2016

Praying to save babies in Waldorf Charles County Right to Life held its monthly prayer vigil at Planned Parenthood at Gateway Plaza in Waldorf, Md., on March 12. Twenty- four prayer warriors, including nine from St. Mary’s County and two from Prince George’s County, prayed for an hour in peaceful protest against abortion. “Prayer works!” says Ashley Morgan. “Every time we do this, life-changing conversations and interactions take place.”
