1 Now I Rejoice

I whispered to myself, “I quit! this is not for me!” But God sent me back saying, “Be patient! Wait and see.”

I turned reluctantly To my most irksome task, Determined not to doubt Or any question ask.

In God’s good time I found The work I tried to quit Was God’s great plan for me. Now I rejoice in it.

Tagging Flowers for the Parade July 3, 2019 Each year we gather to put a tag on the 3,000 carnations that we will be handing out to the parade goers. It is always a fun time. Many hands make the task easy. We enjoy pizza and soda as we work. I want to thank everyone who came to help.

Webster Groves 4th of July Parade July 4, 2019 Our float this year had a new message. God Bless All Americans– Born and Unborn We played patriotic music. Many parade goers sang along with the music. They parade goers clapped and thanked us for being there. We also had some who refused our flower, some even turned their back on us. Told their children not to take our flower. I told them it was just a flower. Just think the simple flower causes such guilt! I want to thank everyone who joined with us to bring the positive message of life to all.

DID YOU KNOW? Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion chain in America. According to its 2018 annual report, it aborted 332,757 unborn babies and reaped in a record $1.66 billion in revenue. Though Planned Parenthood is aborting more unborn babies, America is seeing fewer abortions annually. Data on abortions from the Guttmacher Institute and Centers for Disease Control show a steady decline in the abortion rate (number of abortions per 1,000 women of childbearing age), and abortion numbers have dropped to historic lows in the past several years. Research by Operation Rescue also found that 40 abortion facilities closed in 2018 as more women chose life for their unborn babies.

Planned Parenthood losing $60 million The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, generally considered the most liberal appeals court in the country, voted 7-4 in July to allow the Trump administration to enforce new Title X regulations (see March-April 2019 ALL NEWS) that will keep about $60 million a year from Planned Parenthood. It did that because it believes it is likely the Supreme Court -based on a previous Rust v Sullivan- case-will uphold the new rules 7 EDITOR’S COMMENTS

Each day is a new day to begin again to rescue the infant that is in danger of death. Many times I have said, “God is calling you, will you answer His call.” With each call God has challenged me to do the best I can to rescue that child and help the mom. Sometime I am successful and mom accepts our help other times it ends with the death of the child. On May 10, 2019, a mom was sent to Hope Clinic to end the life of her unborn child. This child was not a “perfect” child by someone’s standard. But in God’s eyes it was a perfect child and deserved to be protected. As AB was entering the death camp she encounted John who offered her help for her baby. She went in but the baby’s father was still outside. He told John that the baby was not going to survive and the best thing was to abort. John offered them a second opinion. They accepted. John brought them to our office to see how we could help them. We called our doctor and requested a second opin- ion. She was seen by our doctor only to confirm that the baby would not survive after birth. As we talked I explained to her that if she carried her baby she would be able to have closure and know that she did the best for her child. If she aborted then that would be taken from her and she would have the grief plus the guilt of the abortion. Mom said she wanted to keep her baby until God said it was time to come home. We made plans with our doctor to care for her and to give her the best care possible. We had a few ups and downs but AB stayed on the straight path for her baby. Only July 25, 2019, AB’s labor began. Knowing that this baby’s life span was going to be short AB was positive about the birth of her child. She had her name picked out and knew that she wanted this child baptized. A call was placed to Father Andrew Burkemper who came immediately to baptize the baby. The baby was 30 weeks gestation and was delivered at 1:45 p.m. She was stillborn. She was wrapped in a beautiful pink blanket and handed to her mom. A short time later Father baptized her and confirmed her. Giving her the name of Kaliyah Marie. Pease remember 10 weeks earlier she was scheduled to die at the hands of Erin King– abortionist. I was asked if I wanted to dress the baby, of course I was honored. As I washed the baby I knew that this was a per- fect child. This child was not deformed or had a defect. It was a perfect child of God. Her fingers and toes, hands and feet were perfect. A sadness came over me, not for this child but for all the children who’s mothers were not strong enough to allow their baby to live until God said it is time to come home. Mother’s who accepted the lies of planned parenthood, who al- lowed boyfriends and family member push them to do the unthinkable. AB will grieve for her child but with that grief she will have peace knowing that her baby was given the very best care.

Please pray for this family as the grieve for little Kaliyah Marie.

As Defenders of the Unborn moves on I know that what we are doing is what God has called us to do. Rescue those who are being dragged to the slaughter. If we don’t put the rubber to the road we will not end this madness. REMEMBER: GOD DOES NOT ASK US TO BE SUCCESSFUL ONLY FAITHFUL ARE YOU FAITHFUL? We have an excellent opportunity to end this madness here in Missouri. Our presence and prayer is vital NOW. Let us together bring about the ending of abortion in Missouri. 8
