The number of women at AFP Saturday was relatively light.  This allowed Edmund to join Patrick and John Peters at the Summit.  Unfortunately the number of women entering the Summit Saturday was almost 30.  To the best of our knowledge more than 20 of those women were seeking to terminate their pregnancy.  Many of those [...]

This will be somewhat brief, since I am writing from the road.  Yesterday was a very difficult day at American Family Planning.  A Hispanic mother and her boyfriend were at the abortion mill; she was a repeat customer.  Her boyfriend insisted that she really wants to keep her babies, but nobody helps her.  He said [...]

Yesterday, while on the sidewalk in front of American Family Planning, a text message arrived on Alicia’s cell phone: “I got married Wednesday. LOL Yo way….”  Or something like that.  The message was from an Arabic woman who had come to the abortuary a couple of weekends ago.  Alicia had a long conversation with her [...]

On Friday the Milwaukee-based Missionaries to the Preborn were at American Family Planning.  There were about 20 of them, many of them holding large, graphic signs, so we were thrown off of our stride to a certain extent.  Still, it was good to have company, many of them friends and acquaintances from the days when [...]

The week began with the burial of Brittny’s baby on Monday.  My thought had been, “If we don’t do anything else right for this child, at least we’re going to give him a proper burial.”  The burial was at Mt. Elliott cemetery.  It began with a little service in a chapel within the cemetery grounds.  [...]

There were two married couples at the abortuary yesterday.  It is very rare to see a husband and wife involved in the abortion process.  These two couples were, in a way, reversals of each other: in one, the man was leading in the wife for the abortion, but in the other the wife was leading [...]

We just never know what God is going to do next.  Yesterday we met with a woman who had been at the abortuary more than a year ago.  She had, in fact, aborted that child, but she had always kept our pamphlet.  Recently learning that she is pregnant again, she pulled out that pamphlet, read [...]

How much is a baby’s life worth?  That was the question theoretically raised while dealing with a young woman this week.  She was turned away from the abortuary a few weeks ago and thereafter assisted by three friends of the Partners.  Then I got a call a few nights ago in which I was told [...]

A young woman gets in the car and knowingly, after days of family debate, drives her sister to the abortuary.  The sister enters the abortuary to keep her appointment; the young woman tries to go into the abortuary with her, but is not permitted to remain because she carries a small child with her.  The young [...]

We were at the mill only one day this week, since both Summit and AFP were closed Saturday.  It was a tough crowd that went into AFP on Friday–a lot of colorful language and a few threatening gestures.  One woman’s responses to us were almost screamed, though she was just as loud with her comments [...]
