Pro-Lifers peacefully assembling outside of largest PP in Pa., in center city Philly
It was a beautiful Saturday morning for #ProtestPP in Philadelphia. 100 prolifers showed up to pray. The morning began with the recitation of the rosary. It is urged by many Catholic pro-lifers to pray for an end to abortion with a rosary a day throughout May.
A young Nigerian named John Aruna opened up the event. He shared how he was blessed to have survived Boko Haram while living in Nigeria. However, when he came to America, his heart became heavy when he found out innocent babies are killed by abortion.
Dr. Monique Ruberu took the podium next as she shared the story of a young mom named Hade who walked out of Planned Parenthood, direly sick. A young worker at the Community Women's Center next door named Faith Leopold called Monique when she noticed Hade showing signs of dehydration. Faith not only got her to hospital, but she stayed with her like the Good Samaritan. Hade would later give birth to her son, Egypt.
"Your son is a miracle and gift to all of us" alluded Monique.
Pastor Bill Devlin wrapped up the rally with a call to action. He urged those gathered to continue defending the vulnerable.

Pat Stanton compared two women.. Margaret Sanger and St Teresa of Calcutta. Sanger tells that the most merciful thing to do to a child is to kill it. Meanwhile, St. Teresa of Calcutta went to the poorest of India to love the poor. She also boldly proclaim during a prayer breakfast in 1994 that abortion is the destroyer of peace.
The comparison is clear. St. Teresa shows us how to show mercy towards others.
