On August 15, 2012, Mary Wagner was arrested after she entered the waiting room of a Toronto abortion clinic and offered help to any woman who would consider changing her mind.
She has been in jail ever since on charges of “mischief: interference with lawful enjoyment/operation of a business,” and and breach of a probation order that prohibits her from being within 200 meters of any place where abortions are performed in Ontario.
This was the sixth time Mary had been arrested since she began her campaign of civil disobedience in March 2010. Since then, she has spent nearly three years in prison.
To support Mary, her friends and supporters at Campaign Life Coalition Youth have organized a campaign to send her Christmas cards and letters:
We at the Pro-Life Action League sent Mary a Christmas card today, and we invite you to do the same. Mail your card to:
Mary Wagner Vanier Centre for Women P.O Box 1040 655 Martin St. Milton, ON L9T 5E6 CANADA
From the U.S., postage for a regular first class card or letter is $1.10.
Please also use the following guidelines to ensure that your letter will reach Mary:
Do not use any plastic cards, medals, stamps, stickers in your card. Put your return address on the card as well as on the outside of the envelope. Do not discuss the internal workings of the prison. Do not include anything confidential, as prison guards scrutinize all incoming mail.
Finally, please also keep Mary in your prayers during this time.
Thank you. Merry Christmas!
“Civil disobedience” is a tactic used by the left all the time, and it’s often not very civil. I wonder if she actually broke the law at any point or is just an inconvenience to the nice liberals. Ordered to stay away from all abortion clinics sounds like a violation of her civil rights, since the space outside would be pubic property.
God Bless this woman, she’s certainly serving King Jesus.
Wow! Good for her! Let’s support her with daily prayer too. ;-)
She’s not doing much good sitting in prison...
Would you have said the same of St. Peter?
Bump!
Yeah, and Paul only wrote a bunch of personal letters while he was incarcerated for Christ. What good did that do anybody?
/sarc
And John, exiled for serving Christ to Patmos...totally wasted time...
/sarc
Terrorists run free and woman of God sits in prison for daring to point out murder.
Or of St. Paul who wrote letters from prison.
Or of John the Baptist who sent messengers to Jesus. (See today’s Gospel in the Daily Readings thread.)
This lady is not an apostle...
I wrote her a card tonight. Everyone should. Prison can be a lonely place. She has been hounded by corrupt prosecutors and judges who are the paid lackeys of the abortion industry. Modern Herods. Please pray for God to give her the strength to endure her unjust treatment.
Mailing my card today!
And if a homo couple who walks into a your bakery and orders a “wedding” cake that your conscience precludes you from fulfilling, they’ll haul you away too.
Ready for revolt yet?
She is indeed an apostle, a modern witness to the compassion and teachings of Jesus. And like the apostles of earlier times, she is martyr to the raw coercive power of corrupt and evil civil authority. May God give her the grace to persevere under unjust persecution. Please pray for her.
So one has to be an apostle in order to stand up for Jesus and be willing to go to jail for it? You are a piece of work. This lady has more guts than I did.
Get out of my site you sicken me.
Well careful you don't puke all over yourself...
