“It’s time for the healing process to begin.”
UPDATE! Changes in schedule below!
Wichita, KS – There will be a series of prayer and memorial events held in Wichita, Kansas, on Friday and Saturday, June 19-20, to pray for healing and an end to abortion-related violence. Pro-life groups sponsoring this event, known as “A Time for Healing…A Time for Life” are Operation Rescue, the Washington DC based Christian Defense Coalition, and Living Word Outreach of Wichita.
Rev. Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition, who helped lead the 1991 “Summer of Mercy” protests in Wichita, will head the events, which include a Friday evening prayer vigil, a Saturday walk across Wichita down Kellogg Ave. to pray for peace and healing, and a memorial service at Tiller’s former abortion clinic where hundreds of flowers will be placed to honor the pre-born babies who died there. Prayers for the Tiller family will be offered by members of the clergy.
Rev. Mahoney has conducted similar outreaches in Northern Ireland, Iraq, and China to stop violence and human rights abuses.

“We encourage the pro-life community, including the community’s pastors, to join us in earnest prayers to the cessation of violence, both inside and outside the womb, and to memorialize those who have tragically lost their lives,” said Troy Newman. “This is a time to come together in unity to pray and reflect on the precious gift of life, and to thank God that pre-born babies are currently safe in this community. It’s time for the healing process to begin.”
This has nothing to do with this particular article but how come you can’t comment on anything anymore? I don’t like this new format at all!
We just opened comments on some of the more recent articles. We had closed comments because of the flood of threatening and just down-right vile comments we were getting from the pro-abortion crowd. It was prudent for us to simply close comments for a time, rather than subject our staff to volumes of hate-speech.
This cruuent format is only temporary, and we are currently in the process of a complete website redesign. That new design will include the ability for the public to comment on our articles, as before.
Thanks for your patience as we go through this transition phase!
I’m so sorry people have been leaving such awful and frightening messages. One of the first things I thought of upon hearing about Tillers death was I sure hope this person wasn’t connected with OR in any way. I knew you certainly would not support this kind of action but you cannot control what people do. I do hope that he had a moment of realization and repentance before passing on. I visualized all the little souls in Heaven looking on. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Keep up the Lords work. I know you will. God bless and protect you all. Donna
A note for all the haters who are threatening Operation Rescue workers and posting hateful things about God. First- Operation Rescue has NEVER advocated violence against ANYONE. And- more importantly- God will NOT be mocked. Do not think that you will be allowed to mock the Lord and get away with it. There is an after-life. This life will seem like a moment in time compared to eternity.
Hello! You guys are wonderful. I would love to join the protests. I was once forced into having an abortion over 8 years ago when I was only 17 and I regret it so much. I’m now blessed with a beautiful two-year old little boy and I would love to help spread the word that abortions are wrong and they need to end. I know I’m not the only young girl that is forced into having an abortion, and that’s just plain wrong. We need to stop abortions. Please e-mail me and let me know how to join. Thanks. Much love and God Bless you all.
