Fargo, North Dakota — Operation Rescue’s Truth Truck paid a visit last week to North Dakota’s only abortion clinic, the Red River Women’s Clinic in Fargo. The visit reportedly made abortion the talk of the town.
Truth Truck driver Mark Gietzen, Director of the Kansas Coalition For Life, joined pro-lifers outside the clinic during their 40 Days For Life prayer vigil. Gietzen was in North Dakota visiting family and spent as much time as he could at the abortion clinic supporting the local prayer effort.
“It was an eventful weekend, in a very positive way,” said Gietzen. “I gave away almost ALL of the literature that I had to strangers who came to talk about the Truth Truck. The general public was shocked by the truck, most having never seen anything like it before. Some people complimented us for having it there, and quite a number of others came over to challenge our right to display the photos on the Truth Truck.”
Gietzen said that the local pro-lifers in Fargo are a dedicated group and were very excited about having the Truth Truck in their community. They are keeping their prayer vigil round-the-clock until November 4. The day after the Truth Truck left, the pastor of the Fargo Cathedral led a procession to the abortion clinic for prayers, in honor of Respect Life Sunday, complete with server-boys in full dress, cross, candles, and a large percentage of the congregation.
Operation Rescue looks forward to returning to Fargo to lend support to the effort to close this abortion mill and make North Dakota abortion free.
