According o the press release, the group says&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis will be the sixth abortion center at a location where 40 Days for Life\u2019s peaceful prayer vigils have been conducted to go out of business,\u201d said Shawn Carney, 40 Days for Life campaign director. \u201cIt is truly an answer to prayer that abortions will no longer be carried out at this facility. All the glory belongs to God.\u201d [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow humbling will it be,\u201d asked Carney, \u201cto see God use the simplicity of prayer, fasting, outreach, and vigil to bring an end to abortion in many more areas, just like Fayetteville?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe rejoice over the babies that will be saved and the parents who will be spared from a lifetime of regret,\u201d said Juliet Cassell, Fayetteville coordinator for 40 Days for Life, upon learning of the facility\u2019s closure.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The real reason the clinic is closing is because the doctor has leukemia. He&#8217;s expected to make a full recovery and reopen the clinic as soon as he can.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the &#8220;pro-life&#8221; group claims responsibility (<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\">like Al-Qaeda!!<\/span>). According to the press release&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We have no doubt that the hundreds of volunteers who faithfully prayed outside that facility, as well as the dozens of pro-life counselors who lovingly offered alternatives to potential abortion customers, had an impact on the business of the Fayetteville Women\u2019s Clinic \u2014 and this facility\u2019s announced closure is certainly an answer to prayers.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Harrison and I have communicated on many occasions by e-mail over the last several years, and he knows that the local Fayetteville 40 Days for Life volunteers regularly pray for him and wish him no harm.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>They pray for him. That&#8217;s nice. I wonder if they say nice things to God about him. Are they taking credit for his cancer, too? Or just the closing.<\/p>\n<p>And I suppose by &#8220;no harm,&#8221; they mean we&#8217;re going to celebrate your unfortunate circumstances&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s definitely &#8220;pro life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Praise Jesus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/christiannightmares.tumblr.com\/\">Found at Christian Nightmares<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOURCE: A &#8220;pro-life&#8221; group in Arkansas is celebrating (they sent out a press release!) the closing of The Fayetteville Women&#8217;s Clinic, one of only two places in Arkansas that perform abortions.
