We have wonderful news! Germantown Pregnancy Choices (GPC) is now partnering with Bethany Christian Services, a global nonprofit organization, to save more lives in Germantown.

Bethany Christian Services’ pregnancy counselor will work with GPC volunteers to speak with abortion vulnerable clients about adoption. She will also use the office to meet with these clients in person to speak about giving another family the gift of life. The organization maintains an active list of prospective adoptive families who are excited to one-day welcome a new child into their home.

Here at GPC, we hope this partnership will directly translate into larger numbers of saved children here on the front lines of abortion in Germantown. Women in crisis pregnancies will now have a greater chance of realizing the life-giving options available to them.

Please check out Bethany Christian Services’ web site for more information on their organization http://www.bethany.org/.

Thank you for remaining steadfast, and continuing to be a part of this critical effort to save lives in Germantown. Please continue to lift up GPC volunteers and the families we serve in your prayers.

Please pray!  Over a year ago I requested information through the Public Information Act regarding the recently passed Maryland Surgical Abortion Facility licensing requirements.  Part of the information I requested was withheld.  In order for the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to continue withholding the information requested through the Public Information Act, they had to get the court to uphold their redaction.  As a result, I was “sued” by the Maryland DHMH.  For more information about “DHMH vs Andrew Glenn” see the article written by the ACLJ lawyer who is representing me in this court case http://aclj.org/abortion/demanding-truth-accountability-from-abortion-industry-in-court.

The Maryland judge sided with the DHMH and upheld the redaction of information.  I lost!  The ACLJ has appealed the case and now “Andrew Glenn vs. DHMH” is set to be heard by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals on March 3 in Annapolis Maryland.  Please pray for God’s will to be done.  Pray for the ACLJ lawyers representing me.  And pray for the information the state is withholding to be revealed to the public to keep the abortion industry and state accountable for their actions.  For more information on the appeal see the following article written by the ACLJ http://aclj.org/pro-life/aclj-continues-fight-to-hold-abortion-industry-accountable

Praise God for a great rally on Saturday!  It was amazing to be joined by over 300 youth from Nebraska.  It was encouraging to have them here to pray with us for an end to abortion in Germantown.

“Let us not grow weary of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galations 6:9

The Fall 40 Days for Life campaign (Sept. 24 – Nov. 4) is set to begin in less than 2 weeks.  40 Days for Life is a great way to get involved and make a difference in your neighborhood.  For more information about 40 Days for Life, visit their website at http://40daysforlife.com/ or watch this inspirational video http://vimeo.com/75359760.

There will be 7 locations in Maryland praying for an end to abortion this campaign: College Park, Germantown, Silver Spring, Baltimore, Fullerton, Annapolis, and Frederick.  I encourage you to find the location nearest you and sign up to pray.  God can use the simplest act of standing on the sidewalk for 1 hour to save a life.

Tragically, this month Leroy Carhart sent another patient to the hospital in an ambulance.  This is Carhart’s 8th patient that has been rushed to the hospital in the past 2 years (that we know of)!  Please pray for this patient and her family as she faces this medical emergency and difficult situation.  Pray for her physical and emotional recovery.

How long will the Maryland Board of Physicians allow this to continue?  How many more women need to be rushed to the hospital before they take action?  How many more women need to die before they wake up and put a stop to this?  Unfortunately we know Carhart will continue to send women to the hospital and more women will die at his hands until the Maryland Board of Physicans puts a stop to his reckless and dangerous abortion procedures.

Please politely contact the Maryland Board of Physicians to voice your concern over the dangerous procedures Carhart is performing in Germantown.

Yesterday, one of Leroy Carhart’s patients was sent to the hospital.  This is the 4th patient (that we know of) sent to the hospital in the past 13 months.  And as we know, tragically one of these patients passed away last year after the abortion of her 33 week old child.

Please pray for the woman who is currently in the hospital.  Pray for her physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.  Pray that this tragedy will be used to help bring an end to the abortions performed in Germantown.

Merry Christmas from Maryland Coalition for Life.  We want to thank everyone for their support of Maryland Coalition for Life during 2013.  We had a fantastic year and God continues to do amazing things.

During 2013:

• Thirteen 40 Days for Life campaigns took place across the state of Maryland
• 48 saves (that we know of) in Germantown in front of Leroy Carhart’s late-term abortion clinic
• 4 abortion clinics in Maryland had their Surgical Abortion Licenses suspended
• Momentum continues to build within the Maryland Pro-Life movement
• New churches are joining us and standing up against the evil of abortion

Please take advantage of an end of the year tax deductible donation by giving to the Maryland Coalition for Life http://donateMDCoalitionForLife.com.  We appreciate your support and will use the resources to help bring an end to abortion in Maryland.

God has done amazing things in Germantown, MD over the past 3 years.  The local churches have unified like never before to take a stand against the evil of abortion and to offer help and healing to women faced with an unwanted pregnancy.  The catalyst for the Germantown pro-life movement happened 3 years ago when late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart began performing 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions in Germantown.

Since the arrival of Leroy Carhart, over 2,000 people from 30 local churches have gathered on the public sidewalk in front of Germantown Reproductive Health Services for approximately 4,500 hours to pray for an end to abortion in our community.  Over the last 3 years, 125 babies have been spared from abortion.  Praise God!

Please join us on Sunday, December 8 at 2pm in Germantown for a rally to mark 3 years since the arrival of Leroy Carhart in Maryland.  We will remember the thousands of lives lost to abortion, pray for an end to abortion, and celebrate the amazing unity and momentum within the local pro-life movement and the 125 lives that have been saved from the hands of Leroy Carhart.  The rally will be followed by a 1.2 mile prayer walk around the heart of Germantown.
