On May 14, 2010, we launched our campaign to shut down Planned Parenthood by Bringing Jesus to PP through Mary. Since 2006, 123 Planned Parenthood facilities have closed across the United States. Our soon-to-be released annual survey of Planned Parenthood facilities will show that 90 of the 123 closed within the past two years, coinciding with the inception of our Mary campaign. Please pray a rosary this week at Planned Parenthood in thanksgiving for such a great grace.

Planned Parenthood, for its part, has said that it has had two of the most difficult years in its history. Pro-life activism has increased dramatically, the abortion giant has faced one battle after another from pro-life forces, and the evil PP empire is beginning to crumble at many levels.

We attribute Planned Parenthood’s problems over the last two years and the success pro-life forces have had in defunding it to the fact that we have consecrated this battle to Mary and have brought Mary very openly into the fight. As ALL vice president, Jim Sedlak, said recently, “It is having Mary in the fight that is really making a difference, turning things around.”

Bishop John W. Yanta set the precedent for consecrating the battle to Mary, and it resulted in the closure of 18 out of 19 Planned Parenthood facilities in the Texas Panhandle over a 12-year period.

Expect to see us increase our emphasis on Bringing Jesus to Planned Parenthood through Mary, as we continue to encourage our 120 Associate groups, those involved in 40 Days for Life vigils, and other pro-life groups throughout the nation to put Mary front and center in the battle to end Planned Parenthood’s deadly influence and presence on our society.

We will be stepping up grassroots activity and approaching parishes near all 749 Planned Parenthood facilities to encourage their participation in our campaign. Please encourage your pastor to support you in your efforts to Bring Jesus to Planned Parenthood through Mary, and let us know by replying to this e-mail newsletter if you are Bringing Jesus to Planned Parenthood at a local Planned Parenthood facility and where that facility is located.

It is time for the Church to take its place outside these death camps and pray against the evil that opposes life and opposes our Catholic faith—to the point of trying to force us to renounce our faith and pay for birth control and sterilizations, via its place of honor at the table of the Obama administration.

Our Lady can and will stop Planned Parenthood’s advance and bring victory to the Church. Please act today to step up your efforts to Bring Jesus to Planned Parenthood through Mary, honoring and entrusting her to lead the battle by placing her front and center in all that you do.
