Today there are only 713 abortion clinics in the country. Although more than 700 may seem like a lot, in 1991 there were almost 2,200 clinics. So we have chopped the number of abortuaries by two-thirds. Hooray!
Operation Rescue just released a map and corresponding list of every abortion clinic in the nation. They are calling this effort Project Daniel 5:25.
They chose the name Daniel 5:25 because in this verse Daniel deciphers the handwriting on the wall; he sees that the days of evil are numbered and foretells the fall of the wicked kingdom.
In the words of Operation Rescue President Troy Newman: “The days of legal abortion in this nation are numbered. Pro-life sentiment continues to gain ground as abortion support slips. Abortion clinics continue to close as demand decreases and as abortionists are increasingly exposed and reported to the authorities by pro-life groups.”
OR is asking pro-lifers to become more actively present at the abortion clinics in their area and to monitor them for illegal activities. As Newman observed, “We have never found an abortion clinic that follows the law. It is up to pro-life activists to serve as the watchdogs of the abortion industry and be the eyes and ears of law enforcement.”
If you are interested in joining Project Daniel 5:25, you can call 1-800-705-1175.
If you live in the Chicago area, you know that the new Bubble Zone law has made sidewalk counseling more difficult. This does not mean we have stopped going to the clinics, though. I hope you will put on the warmest clothes you own and join us some day soon. Prayer groups are at the Albany abortion clinic on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings, Friday evenings, and Saturday mornings. On Saturdays groups also gather at Planned Parenthood at Division and LaSalle and at Family Planning Associates on Washington.
If you live anywhere else in the nation, I can likely also put you in touch with someone who prays or counsels at your local abortion clinic. I have a list of 200 names of activists in 47 states. Please call our office at 773-777-2900, 9am-5pm and ask for Corrina. I’ll help you find someone. Or maybe you can give me your information and I can add you to the list!
Speaking of Bubble Zones, Missionaries to the Preborn sent out a message about the trial of Drew Heiss, which begins this week. Heiss is accused of standing 23 feet from the door of an abortion mill, violating a Milwaukee injunction prohibiting pro-lifers from coming within 25 feet of an entrance. He could face a year in jail if convicted. Please pray for him, his wife, and five children as they endure this trial.

Thank you for this wonderful site. So informative and sensitive.
As an ardent prolifer since the time of the 1st March For Life I am committed as ever! I have alway presented abortion as the ULTIMATE CHILD ABUSE.
In memory of my grandson, Logan, who died at the hands of a currently incarcerated, ‘trusted family friend’ I have renewed my ACTIVE efforts to create awareness for the prevention of child abuse and neglect…starting with the unborn victims, advertising and collecting baby items for our local Metro Richmond (Va.) Pregnancy Center, providing my flyer readers with the VIRGINIA SAFE HAVEN LAW and directing them to http://www.ChildrenWithoutAVoiceUSA.org and Rachels Vinyard. Of course I’ll never know how many will be touched specifically but I KNOW that the more people who read my 25 monthly (laminated) flyers, the better the opportunity that someone along the way will be able to help someone in need. Each stranger to whom I hand a flyer is requested to pass the flyer to ONE OTHER PERSON.
As a member of TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD, I have taken my own pro-life efforts using the above as my PERSONAL T-Day Project
