Planned Parenthood in Memphis, since 40 Days for Life Memphis began holding 40 Day prayer vigils outside their 1407 location has “retaliated” by hosting something they call “Pledge-a-Picketer.”
One apparently “pledges” to donate money to this organization depending on how many people “picket” their building. Despite that there is no way for them to possibly know how many people are in front of their building at the end of the 40 Days (as, most of the time, we who are planning the vigil calendar do not even know as people are constantly showing up all day long without signing up to stand vigil) they continue to go on with this little money raising scheme campaign after campaign.
The first campaign in 2008 they spread the word of their “means of turning lemons into lemonade” through their website and through the media by inviting the news out. The news was actually quite fair and interviewed us as well. We responded to the news of their effort by saying, “God is more powerful then money.” He will have victory… with Him we will have victory and in the end, no matter how much money they collect to support their endeavor of killing children (which they would collect anyway from the same people who normally donate to them), their killing will come to an end. All evil and injustice will one day.
The second campaign they stuck to their website.
This campaign they have now posted two rather bland, microscopic signs on their windows that we were only able to really get a good image of, even though standing right below them in front of the building, through zooming in with the camera.
There is a huge tree blocking the signs coming up Union one way, and if anyone could see those signs from the third story (much less be able to write down the e-mail address) coming in the other direction I would be greatly surprised.
Despite the poverty of the effort, it made us at 40 Days Memphis very happy to see them. It is nice to know our prayers and presence are having an effect on their business.
This (and all the rather poor efforts by pro-abortion individuals to counter the 40 Days of prayer and fasting across the nation) just goes to show…
Efforts made based on ideology are always poor when compared to those made based on faith and with God.
"Thank-you for all that you do!!! Did you see the pledge-a-pickett
sign in the window? I went to the other end to pray and saw the
sign, boy did I pray harder as I was looking at those windows
knowing what was in there..." - Worthy
