Leading the campaign was a former CLC intern.<\/p>\n<p>Following the announcement of shutting down, local pro-abortion activists noted how pro-life forces \u201chave actively worked to restrict access\u201d to abortion. Indeed, in 2019, Campaign Life Coalition\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignlifecoalition.com\/press-room\/id\/221\">launched a campaign<\/a>\u00a0that successfully encouraged the New Brunswick government to stand firm against pressures to fund private abortion facilities. In 2023, CLC launched a campaign encouraging the province\u2019s Premier Blaine Higgs to refuse to fund Clinic 554 in the face of a lawsuit from the Canadian Civil Liberties Association that sought to force the province to fund the centre.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CampaignLife\/status\/1752771629669654827\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.campaignlifecoalition.com\/shared\/media\/editor\/image\/Screen%20Shot%202024-01-31%20at%202.44.52%20PM.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>CLC Atlantic coordinator Ruth Robert welcomed the news of the closure of Clinic 554.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHundreds of babies\u2019 lives will be saved from death with the closure of this murder house,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Robert recounted the effort that went into running the 40 Days for Life campaign last fall outside of Clinic 554.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLocal pro-life advocates hoped this campaign would be the final push to shut the clinic down for good. Campaign leader and former CLC intern, Sarah Grace, was worried that there would not be enough pro-life people to run the around-the-clock campaign. She then heard God speak to her in her heart: \u2018Go in the strength you have.\u2019 She pressed forward, despite there being insufficient numbers of people to run the campaign. Some of the amazing volunteers drove for over four hours and would stay for hours praying. It\u2019s because of people like Sarah Grace that this abortion mill is now closed. God has truly blessed the sacrifices of His devoted faithful. It all begins with one person stepping out in faith, and saying \u2018Yes\u2019 to God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: This press release was originally published at Campaign Life Coalition.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/tell-congress-stop-the-doj-from-targeting-pro-life-americans\/?utm_campaign=doj_petition&amp;utm_medium=lan_website\"><b><i>The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail for protesting the killing of preborn children.
