The Women\u2019s Health Specialists abortion facility\u00a0in Santa Rosa, California, recently closed its doors after 28 years. According to a March 29th Californians for Life newsletter<\/a>, the facility\u00a0closed because \u201cthere were not enough clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is great news for the pro-life community in California and an answered prayer for the participants of multiple 40 Days for Life prayer vigils outside of that facility.<\/p>\n

LifeNews reports<\/a>\u00a0the Women’s Health Specialist chain has been struggling financially for years. The chain took out loans and was involved in lawsuits regarding workers who claim they were forced to disrobe for group “self-exams.” The abortion chain’s former medical director, Dr. Bruce Steir,\u00a0pled\u00a0guilty<\/a>\u00a0for involuntary manslaughter after he punctured a woman’s uterus during an abortion, causing her to bleed to death. Thankfully Steir is no longer able to practice medicine in California and has surrendered his license.<\/p>\n

\"NewDefundAd3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The 40 Days for Life group in California is enthusiastic over the closing, but will continue to hold prayer vigils outside of the abortion chain\u2019s other locations in Redding, Chico, and Sacramento. The vigils in\u00a0Sacramento will be held at 1442 Ethan Way on the mornings abortions are committed:\u00a0Thursdays and Fridays, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.<\/p>\n

In addition, pro-lifers will be gathering outside the sidewalks of all 150 abortion businesses in the state of California on Saturday, April 23rd from 9 to 11 a.m. \u00a0The united gathering will be for a protest of Planned Parenthood. As Californians for Life remarked in its newsletter<\/a>,\u00a0\u201cIf an abortion business in Santa Rosa can close\u00a0after 28 years, surely that can also happen in your community!\u201d<\/p>\n

A\u00a0recent Bloomberg analysis<\/a>\u00a0reported that\u00a0“abortion clinics are closing at a rapid pace,” and 162 abortion centers have closed since 2011.<\/p>\n

What the report doesn’t factor, however,\u00a0are the numerous pro-life sidewalk counselors<\/a>, such as\u00a0Marilyn Carroll and Carmen Vazquez, who stood outside an abortion\u00a0facility for decades. Their countless prayers and support helped to save over 2,000 preborn children from abortion.<\/p>\n

I pray that\u00a0the people participating in the 40 Days for Life vigils outside of the Women’s Health Specialists in Sacramento, Chico, and Redding will one day see similar results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
