PHILADELPHIA (WordNews.org) April 29, 2013 – A prayer vigil began today at noon in front of the Courthouse in Philadelphia as closing arguments are scheduled in the murder trial of abortion-doctor Kermit Gosnell.
At a press conference in Philadelphia today, pro-life leaders called on Americans to join them in prayer and fasting as the verdict is being considered.
“Sadly, the tragedy and horror surrounding the actions of Kermit Gosnell show that government officials and the pro-choice movement are more interested in protecting abortion rights then they are protecting the rights and health of women and their children,” said the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition.
Father Terry Gensemer, director of CEC For Life, said the jury’s decision is “a pivotal and defining moment in the history of human rights.”
“When we stand outside of that court room on Monday, we will be praying that justice will prevail and that the innate human dignity of the women and children horrifically brutalized inside Gosnell’s ‘shop of horrors’ will be recognized and upheld,” he said.
