Minnesota Nursing Home Residents Endangered by State Virus Response
man-sitting-on-a-chair-looking-out-the-window-3979493.jpg
In March, as nursing homes were beginning to limit visitors in
order to slow the spread of COVID-19, the heartwarming story
[link removed]
of a man visiting his father at a Minnesota nursing home every day,
sitting outside his window while chatting with him on the phone, made
its way into many social media feeds. The story offered encouragement
and hope in the midst of uncertainty. Come what may, the most
vulnerable members of our communities would be cared for and we would
weather this storm together. Putting nursing homes in lockdown and
keeping families away from loved ones may be difficult, but if it was
keeping people safe, it must be worth it, right?
By late April things had shifted. It became clear that elderly
populations might not be as safe in nursing homes as people had hoped,
and by the third week of May, Alpha News reported that Minnesota had
the highest percentage nursing-home related COVID-19 deaths
nationwide. What happened? Minnesota had followed New York and other
states in funneling COVID-19 patients out of hospitals and into
nursing homes.

Abortion Pill Reversal Websites Under Attack
drink-girl-glass-hands-576831.jpg
During the height of the COVID-19 lockdowns, the Abortion Pill Rescue
Network received a record number of calls. In February a mother gave
birth to twins who were saved through the abortion pill reversal.
Early this year a little boy named Isaiah celebrated his first
birthday thanks to the Abortion Pill Rescue Network. To date, the
Abortion Pill Reversal Network has saved over 1,000 babies. Now
abortion pill reversal websites are currently under attack as a
pro-abortion "watchdog" group, Campaign for Accountability
(CFA), demands that the Food and Drug Administration remove these
websites.

Abortion pill reversal websites offer lifesaving hope. When a woman
begins the abortion reversal process, the abortion industry has
already made their money off of her, so why are the abortion
industry's allies dead set on taking down these websites?
Because women who change their minds and find help from abortion pill
reversal groups to save their babies challenge the abortion
industry's narratives. By choosing hope, they demonstrate that
women do not need abortion in order to be successful and they promote
a culture of life through their actions. Abortion pill reversals
empower women to choose life, and that threatens the abortion industry
and their allies. (Click here to read the whole story from MFC's

From Pro-Life Action Ministries: STAND! Prayer Rally - June 13th
plam.png
Saturday, June 13, 2020
8:00 - 9:30 a.m.
Chapel of the Innocents
3821 West Broadway
Robbinsdale, MN 55422
Description from Pro-Life Action Ministries:
Join our "social distancing" prayer service in the backyard of the
Chapel of the Innocents.
This will be our first prayer rally in quite some time. We will
observe social distancing and encourage those who have underlying
health issues or are more advanced in age to not attend.
We have a long history dealing with the Robbinsdale abortion
mill. In 1987, the remains of thirteen aborted babies were
found in the trash dumpster behind this building. In the
early 1990's, Pro-Life Action Ministries was sued in what became
a prolonged court case resulting in an injunction that remains to this
day. (Our prayer rally will be on our property
adjacent to the abortion facility.) We encouraged and
helped get a wonderful pregnancy help center, the Robbinsdale
Women's Center, opened across the street. And many
lives have been saved by our sidewalk counselors and this help center
over the years, which has become of great concern in recent years for
the abortionist/owner.
Stand! is an opportunity to pray at area abortion facilities, hearing
God's word, singing hymns, listening to testimonies and making a
commitment to be present at these places of death on a scheduled and
regular basis.
