Tulsans Join 40 Day Anti-Abortion Vigil
(Tulsa, Ok)--It began September 24th and continues through November 2nd. Anti-abortion advocates are holding a 40 day, around the clock vigil. Tulsans are taking part in this demonstration along with fellow pro-lifers in over 100 cities. In Tulsa the vigil is taking place across the street from Reproductive Services at 6136 East 32nd Place. Abortion is one of the services offered at that clinic. Under a well lit canopy those participating in the vigil often sit and pray for an end to abortions. This national vigil is called the longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history. Its backers claim similar campaigns have resulted in reductions of abortions taking place in the cities where the demonstrations are held. The canopy rests on land purchased by the Tulsa Roman Catholic Diocese to be used for these type of events to protest abortions just feet from a clinic. Those at the vigil say they will not confront those entering the clinic. They are willing to talk to them if they want to come to the canopy and look over the pro-life material offered. What others are saying
- Taking a StandIt is a blessing to see Tulsan's bond together in a loving, peaceful, and constructive manner -- willing to take a stand against a grave evil which we have allowed to quietly grow in our midst like a terrible cancer. When a human being is conceived - something which has never existed before is created which will last for all eternity......if we are not willing to take a stand for these little souls then we have truly lost our humanity.
- Pro-LifeGod Bless You Richard Dowdell for running the story.
- 40 Days For LifeThank you for covering the Pro-Life efforts of Tulsans who want to defend the unborn as well as their mothers. It was heartening to see at least 250 people attend the kick-off rally on September 24th. I am proud of KRMG carrying the story. I am still waiting for the Tulsa World to print my letter to the editor. Perhaps I was too blunt about abortion being a moral issue and God's judgement. But even if God is merciful and forgiving, we still must bear the pain of the consequences of killing our own children.

- Kick-off RallyWhat the article didn't mention is that at the kick-off rally we had 200 Tulsans show up and many ecumenical speakers who are anti-death for the unborn.
