Lett at Central Alabama Women&#8217;s Clinic was performing more than the nine abortions a month allowed for an unlicensed facility. As we&#8217;ve seen with the case of now-jailed abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, an unlicensed and unregulated abortion\u00a0facility\u00a0allows doctors to make money killing preborn children while neglecting women&#8217;s health and safety.<\/p>\n<p>Catherine came up with an idea called &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theselmaproject.com\/\">The Selma Project<\/a>.&#8217;\u00a0\u00a0She gathered together pro-life leaders <span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Alveda King, Charmaine Yoest, Star Parker, Dean Nelson, Will Ford, Dr. Freda Bush and others to join with her and travel to Selma, Alabama.

The illegal abortion facility\u00a0in Selma has shut down.<\/p>\n<p>Catherine Davis <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christiannewswire.com\/news\/3283877213.html\">stated<\/a>, &#8220;The women of Selma and Alabama have won a victory with the closing of the illegal abortion operation of Samuel Lett. We do not know how many women lost their fertility, or even lives, at his hands. We are rejoicing, however, that our actions have resulted in the closure of this center.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue rightly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christiannewswire.com\/news\/3283877213.html\">said<\/a>,<br \/>\n&#8220;It took teamwork to drive abortions out of Selma. This was a fine example of what can be accomplished with the spirit of unity and cooperation. We will continue to work together and push for complete assurance from the state that illegal abortion is dealt with in Alabama.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While we celebrate this great victory words from Allison Aranda of Life Legal Defense Foundation remind us that the fight is not over. She <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christiannewswire.com\/news\/3283877213.html\">said<\/a>, &#8220;Lett&#8217;s illegal operation may have come to an end, however, state officials still must hold him accountable for his numerous violations. Quietly ceasing to perform abortions does not dismiss Lett&#8217;s illegal conduct, nor should it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-83866 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IPHONE-PICS-NOV-2015-06-20-044-525x700.jpg\" alt=\"IPHONE PICS NOV 2015-06-20 044\" width=\"474\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IPHONE-PICS-NOV-2015-06-20-044-525x700.jpg 525w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IPHONE-PICS-NOV-2015-06-20-044-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IPHONE-PICS-NOV-2015-06-20-044-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IPHONE-PICS-NOV-2015-06-20-044.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We can not afford to stop fighting for justice in our nation.
