The abortion chamber’s waiting room was so crowded today that the balcony outside was full of people waiting.  In all these years, we have never seen it this full.  One woman waiting for an abortion yelled "they crucified Jesus, so we should crucify you!"  The Christians on the sidewalk responded in prayer.

The abortion center seems to be trying to abort as many babies as possible before the start of 40 Days for Life .

A few hours later, Sister Paula from Nicaragua arrived on the sidewalks outside the killing center.  She is on a mission trip to the United States and she had heard about us so she wanted to stop by and meet us.

When she heard about the busy morning and hostile reactions at the abortion business, Sister Paula spent time praying around the building.

Sister Paula runs a maternity home in western Nicaragua.

We are in need of small feminine items such as perfume or lotion and small gift bags.  We use these items for post-abortion gifts we offer to women leaving after abortions.  We also include helpful information such as a booklet entitled "The Story of  A Perfect Love" (which contains the Gospel of John), a pamphlet on healing after abortion and Gospel tracts.  We can use about 30 post-abortion gifts per week (because not all of the women accept the gifts we offer).

The following Letter to the Editor of the Bakersfield Californian was written by Mary Darrah on September 13, the day after the newspaper publically encouraged readers to vote No on Proposition 4:

As I write, a year ago today, my dear friend’s daughter died. She was 22, beautiful, healthy and pregnant. Laura Hope Smith died on an abortion table. Her doctor was a Harvard trained ObGyn. It doesn’t seem possible that she would die, because we are told and assume that legal abortions are safe. Her parents did not even know she was pregnant until the ER doctor called to report her death. Can you imagine their shock? It was too late to save her. By the time they got to her, their worst nightmare was realized when they identified her body. She was on a slab in the basement of the hospital where she was taken.

Even though Laura was not a minor, I would like to address Sarah’s Law (Proposition 4). For the sake of our daughters, parents need to know when an under-age girl is contemplating such a dangerous surgical procedure.  If she has an abortion without their knowledge and survives, but then developes an infection and they don’t know to watch for it, she could die from the infection. Tragically, this has happened when parents thought their daughters just had the flu.  Also, after an abortion, parents need to be aware and watchful concerning their daughter’s mental health.

As you can see, this is serious. Lives are at stake. You never know; this could happen to someone you love.

Please vote Yes on Proposition 4.

I write this in Laura’s memory. Parents, siblings, friends and a fiance grieve and miss her. She was loved.
