Day 1: Today we pray for women for whom pregnancy is not good news, that they know they have choices. EVENTHOUGH MEN CONTRIBUTED %50 INTO PRODUCING THE CHILD BUT IT SUITS THE INTEREST OF IGNORANT TO HAVE EQUALITY OF OUTCOME AND EQUALITY OF MERIT WHEN IT SUITS WOMEN.
Day 2: Today we pray for compassionate religious voices to speak out for the dignity and autonomy of women. YET THE CHILD IS NOT A PRODUCT OF THE WOMAN.
Day 3: Today we pray for our daughters and granddaughters, that they will always know the power of making their own good decisions. AND WE PRAY THAT SONS AND GRANDSONS WILL BE THERE TO PAY FOR ALIMONY.
Day 9: Today we pray for women who are afraid of their lovers. May they find the confidence to turn away from abuse and take care of themselves. MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T AS "INDEPENDENT WOMEN" CHOSE THE MAN IF HE WAS ABUSIVE...INFACT THE AMOUNT OF POSSIBLE ABUSE IS DIMMINSHED IF THE WOMAN NEVER HAS A MAN...I'M ALL FOR NATURAL SELECTION

@Pandora
The only violence is the kind you antis bring (and revel in) and use against women and medical staff.

Day 38: Today we pray for a cloud of gentleness to surround every abortion facility. May everyone feel calm and loving.
Don't waste your breath. As long as you continue to perpetrate violence it will never happen.

I wish people had choices to keep their babies and not abort them, but I've seen situations where the was no hope at all and people choose to abort. I pray for those that they may see light when it's dark.
Thank you so much for the above prayers, I wish many who are ready to abort could see them.
I love your blog. Its one of the best i've seen by far. God Bless You..

I see people like Kayla and Melissa still can take comfort in false generalizations. How nice for them.
Posted by: Julie | Thursday, December 02, 2010 at 05:58 PM
Maybe you guys should instead be praying for forgiveness for killing people and exploiting women. Abortion is about money, not helping women. This post is sad and you will one day be made to explain it. You will be held accountable for this garbage.

Maybe you should pray for the babies that are losing their lives and being tortured. And if you want to give me that lame "It's a Product of Conception" line... the only person you are fooling is yourself. If it's not a baby, then your not Pregnant! No need for an abortion....right?!? Your respect for women is commendable, your approach is disgraceful! Shame on you for using gods name in such a horrendous way....
