Planned Parenthood’s Prayer of “Thanks for Abortion Providers” and their "Sacred Care”

Planned Parenthood’s Prayer of “Thanks for Abortion Providers” and their "Sacred Care”

by Matthew Clark, Faith Issues/American Center for Law and Justice

“Today we pray for all the staff at abortion clinics around the nation. May they be daily confirmed in the sacred care that they offer women.”

This is not a satirical prayer. This is the actual prayer of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business.

Planned Parenthood has recently put out a pro-abortion prayer guide, "40 Days of Prayer Supporting Women Everywhere," encouraging abortion supporters everywhere to offer prayers of “thanks for abortion providers.”

As Jay Sekulow, ACLJ Chief Counsel, has long said, Planned Parenthood worships at the altar of abortion. Now, here is their prayer guide.

The Planned Parenthood prayer guide calls for prayer for everything from “better access to all forms of birth control” to the pro-abortion “counselors in abortion clinics” who give “wise guidance.”

Planned Parenthood’s 40 days of prayer for all “women to access . . . abortion” runs from March 18 to April 27, 2012. Here are just a few of Planned Parenthood’s highly disturbing prayers:

“We give thanks for the doctors who provide quality abortion care.”

“We pray for elected officials, that they may always support a woman’s right to make her own medical decisions [i.e. abortion].”

“We pray for women who have been made afraid of their own power [of choice, i.e. abortion] by their religion. May they learn to reject fear and live bravely.”

“We give thanks for abortion escorts who guide women safely through the hostile gauntlets of protesters.”

“We pray for a cloud of gentleness to surround every abortion facility.”

“We give thanks and celebrate that abortion is still safe and legal.”

It goes on to pray that women would be “shielded” from the lifesaving message of prolife advocates on their way to commit an abortion.

One day’s suggested prayer is to “pray for the families we’ve chosen. May they know the blessing of choice.” Think about that for a minute . . . “the families we’ve chosen”? What about those children who weren’t “chosen”?

Of course, Planned Parenthood and the group they partnered with to write these prayers, Faith Aloud, cannot answer this question, nor do they actually even attempt to debunk the claim that abortion is murder.

Faith Aloud merely states, “When you hear something over and over, like “abortion is murder”, it can get into your head—like a commercial. But if you really believed that abortion was the same as murder you probably wouldn’t even be considering it.” The only solace they can provide is that “in real life things are not black and white.”

Yet, tellingly, they admit that aborted babies are “our children—even those we decide not to bring into the world.”

Planned Parenthood’s prayer guide and their partner Faith Aloud ’s spiritual advice on abortion merely rationalize the taking of a human life; they do not provide any spiritual, much less Biblical, justification for abortion.

It is the only thing you can do when you have convinced yourself that unborn babies are not human beings who enjoy the fundamental human right to life and protection under the law.

They meant “Sacred Cow.” They are evil to the core.

Recently the president of the Episcopal Divinity School, a sexually perverted female, attempted to get her audience to join her in a chant: "Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done." Etc.

Yes it is now officially documented, that liberal preachers consider abortion a sacrament.

They pray, but not to the God of the Hebrews. More like Moloch....

Here is how Moloch was worshipped, according to the 12th century rabbi Rashi:

"Moloch [was made] of brass; and they heated him from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out, and made hot, they put the child between his hands, and it was burnt; when it vehemently cried out; but the priests beat a drum, that the father might not hear the voice of his son, and his heart might not be moved.”

Were you aware of these statistics?

Deaths in America per year
1,400,000 people die from abortion
650,000 people die of heart disease
560,000 people die of cancer
143,000 people die of stroke
75,000 people die of diabetes

Another perspective:
18,000 - Deaths by death penalty in American history (all the way back to the 1600s).
1,315,000 - Deaths in all American wars combined.
53,000,000 - Deaths by abortion since Roe v Wade

 

Pray for an end to abortion

in the United States of America.

We knew they worshipped abortion since they worship Satan. So, now the formerly Christain denomination known as TEC is above board about its once-hidden agenda. Like all radicalized homosexuals, this psychopathic and sociopathic woman who pretends to be a priest while engaging in notorious sins will burn in hell for eternity.

I don't think Planned Parenthood would be doing this unless they felt like they were losing the battle and they are! Read the comments on this thread from Shawn Carney about clinics that shut down, workers quitting and lots of babies lives saved!

“We pray for a cloud of gentleness to surround every abortion facility.”

It does, and has, at every one I've ever prayed or counseled outside of.

It's what goes on inside that's the problem.

This is isn't just sick or bizarre, it's positively satanic: a complete mockery of Truth and goodness and Life.

“We give thanks for the progress in cleansing the race of negroids, the mentally defective and other undesirable elements, especially those negroes. And that is why we have so many temples where they live. To fulfill your goal of a race of thoroughbreds, free of the corrupting influence of such inferior races and elements, to thy greater glory!”

“We give thanks for the doctors who provide quality... care...to women the newly born”

“We pray for elected officials, that they may always support an...unborn childs’s right to...live.”

“We pray for those who have been made afraid...though the threats and actions of the practioners of abortion and the authorities who support them. May they bravely practice their faith and reject fear of the ruling powers.”

“We give thanks for those who reach out to women to save the lives of the unborn at risk of physical violence by abortion facility guards, employees, and escorts.”

“We pray for a cloud of gentleness to surround every abortion facility...and an end to the violent destruction of human life within.”

“We give thanks that you are just Lord, and...pray that abortion...may one day be outlawed and illegal.”

There. Better. Turn it around on them.

John 9:31 -- "We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will."

And His will is manifestly not the slaughter of his innocents by the likes of Planned Barrenhood.

Proverbs 6:16-17 -- "There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,"

Obviously, this “prayer” is addressed to the Lord of Lies and Death.

Of course. In their satanic mockery of traditional Christianity, they even attempt to co-opt the sacred words of Christ at the Last Supper to justify their acts of pre-natal infanticide: “This is my body.”

Well we know to whom these "prayers" are directed. His name has many iterations but a few are:

    Satan

    Baal

    Moloch

    Devil

    The Father of Lies

    A Murderer from the Beginning

They actually pray: "We pray for a cloud of gentleness to surround every abortion facility.”

There IS no gentle way for a baby to be ripped apart and suctioned out of its mother. It's more like a "cloud of spiritual blindness and delusion" so women cannot see what they are really doing.
