# 1091 (12/20) "[Orlando, FL] Abortionist Says He’s a 'God Loving Christian' ”

The Bulletin Board:(Please SCROLL DOWN this page to find the article titled on this post in LARGE CAPITAL LETTERS. Thank you.)
PRAY FOR AMERICATHANK GOD for His many blessings on America throughout it's history. May we then ask that AMERICA once again be a blessing TO GOD, by once again submitting to HIS will in our affairs - both personal and national - that He may truly "heal our land." (2 Chron. 7:14)

NOW THAT THE ELECTION IS OVER:1) Let's be  praying that God showed us grace in giving us representatives who will sincerely work to DO NO HARM to us and future generations. Let's also be praying that should He have chosen to give us those who WILL do us harm, that He extends mercy to us now and for the years ahead. His will is now done as far as the  results we have. Now it's up to us to be diligent to hold those elected accountable!, and 2) Let's be praying that the present lame-duck session in Congress will not be allowed to pass legislation that will do harm to our country as they can easily do. (See post #1051 - 'Return of the Zombie).

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST: Save Christian Mom Asia Bibi from Execution - A Christian mom has been sentenced to death in Pakistan for her faith. Asia Bibi was falsely accused of “blasphemy” – speaking against the prophet Muhammad. Now this wife and mother of five will hang for her Christian faith.She would be the first woman executed under Pakistan’s Shariah blasphemy law.This is the ultimate human rights violation. We’re mobilizing our international affiliate – the European Centre for Law and Justice – and its partner in Pakistan to stop this atrocity. Add your name to our letter to the government of Pakistan demanding Asia Bibi’s freedom.Go to http://aclj.org/persecuted-church/save-christian-mom-asia-bibi-from-execution; please add your signature to mine and over 35,000 others AND pray for Asia Bibi.

U.S. Supreme Court has Reconvened: Let's be praying WHENEVER the Court is in session as their decisions can have impact on GENERATIONS to come. The fact that they may have an opportunity this session to actually vote on same-sex "marriage" where it has the same impact on this country that Roe v. Wade did should be motivating enough!

WORLD-WDE PRAYER REQUESTS:
Pastor Saeed Abedini (Photo: CitizenGo via Twitter)
Friday, Sept. 26th - Two Year Anniversary of  Pastor Saeed Abedini's Imprisonment in Iran! - need to continue to pray for Pastor Saeed - that his health will improve and that he will be re-united with his wife and two young children who live in the United States. [If you have not yet, please sign the petition for his clemency- http://beheardproject.com/saeed#sign] For comfort and .\

Abortionist Says He’s a “God Loving Christian” But Does Abortions at 28 Weeksby Sarah Terzo | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 12/18/14;

I've prayed for this man every day for a while now and now I KNOW he is truly blinded to know truth from lies, good from evil. Or, he is just VERY ill-informed about what being a Christian is or maybe just truly delusional. (Or he may belong to a place that teaches a warped view of the Bible. Note the article that follows.)  BTW, I've now also begun praying for his children (and those of other abortionists) - that they would come to realize that all that they have received through this man - food, clothing, shelter, and all else - is paid for with blood money. I pray that their eyes may be open even as this man's eyes are so very blinded. - Stan]

jamespendergraft
James Pendergraft is a late term abortionist, who performs abortions up to 28 weeks. He works in Florida.

From an article about him: "“Pendergraft also isn’t bashful about making money in his line of work. He says he went into a profession he believes in, and it happens to be profitable… He will not reveal annual revenues, but he says his clinics are “very economically viable.”

“His in-your-face salesmanship leaves many – including other clinic operators – uncomfortable. They wonder how much of his professed altruism is just a marketing pitch. Maggie Gifford, a spokeswoman for the Florida coalition of Independent Abortion Providers, for nearly 20 years, has run Alternatives of Tampa, a small abortion clinic… Gifford calls Pendergraft, who once worked for her “a new breed of cat”… “

She says areas where the Pendergraft opens has his clinics are already well served by other clinics “They say when Pendergraft opens his doors in a new city, such as Tampa, he drops prices to spur competition.” [Pendergraft answers] that “he goes into new markets aggressively to attract patients who will respond to the level of care in his clinics and spread the word. He says he chooses locations based on evaluations of long-term supply and demand.” He describes himself as a “God loving Christian.” - Cynthia Barnett “The Specialist” Florida Trend Archives June 1999

Pendergraft’s licence has been suspended four times for shoddy conditions in his clinic and botched abortions.  Read more about this here. http://abortiondocs.org/clinic/abortionist/527/james-s-pendergraft/

"Pro-Abortion Clergy Claim Jesus Would Accept Abortion" by Sarah Zagorski | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 12/17/14; http://www.lifenews.com/2014/12/17/pro-abortion-clergy-god-loves-women-who-have-abortions-jesus-would-accept-abortion/ [AS I SEE IT: This article refutes clergy who actually claim Christianity supports abortion. Dr. Pendegraft (see above article) must attend this "church." It tragically proves you can probably find a place that will bend the truth to conform to your warped worldview. - Stan"Truthfully, abortion and God don’t go too well together. But apparently, according to a new article on the pro-abortion website Think Progress titled, 'God Loves Women Who Have Abortions': The Religious Abortion Advocates That History Forgot' more religious leaders should support 'reproductive freedom.'
