The U.S. Senate now has a series of bills that would force upon the states the wholesale butchery of unborn children up to birth. These bills will even force doctors and hospitals to perform abortions, whether they want to or not, or face lawsuits and loss of licensure. Today we will hear from an abortionist who had a change of heart. Read on to hear this miraculous story, but first, take a stand for the unborn by telling members of the Senate to stop the abortion bills and preserve the filibuster. — Mat

Demand Senators VOTE NO on ALL ABORTION-ENABLING BILLS!

Dr. Patti Giebink was South Dakota’s only abortion doctor. But that was before a stranger began praying she would have a change of heart.

Back in 1997, Sister Josita Schwab, a Catholic nun, read a news article in which Dr. Giebink had stated that she did not wish to do abortions full time.

“If this Dr. Patti is sitting on the fence,” Sister Josita thought, “let’s see if God can push her over.”

Sister Josita began praying for Dr. Patti by name every day. She never met the abortionist responsible for killing so many infants. But she prayed for the abortionist anyway. Sister Josita’s prayers continued without a break for 10 years, as she waited upon the Lord to heal Dr. Patti’s heart.

God was indeed working in Dr. Patti’s life.

After Dr. Patti’s second marriage fell apart, she found herself floundering and looking for a change in her life. Friends invited her to join a church mission trip to the remotest parts of India for a change of scenery.

It was there, in the dusty crossroads of an ancient and incredibly impoverished culture, that a man with no material possessions introduced her to the concept of “having Jesus in her heart.”

“His words silenced all my thoughts,” writes Dr. Patti. “Head knowledge (of Scripture) and heart revelation (loving Jesus) were two completely different things,” she says, and the Indian man’s words “increased my understanding of having a relationship with Jesus.”

As Dr. Patti was leaving India, she had a profound realization: “God made each person I met in His likeness. Amid their poverty and daily struggles, He loved them.”

Almost exactly 10 years after Sister Josita began praying for her, Dr. Patti Giebink stood in front of about 3,000 pro-life people and said, “I’m Patti, and I used to do abortions for Planned Parenthood.” There was an audible gasp in the room. “But now I’m saved and set free by the blood of Jesus.” The crowd stood and cheered.

Not long after, Sister Josita was watching a television program in which a former abortionist was speaking about the need for better pro-life laws in South Dakota. Sister Josita began to weep as she heard the woman’s name. It was none other than Dr. Patti Giebink, the woman for whom she had prayed all those years!

Now, South Dakota has no more abortion clinics. But that could change with one vote in the Senate.

Two more abortion bills passed the U.S. House last week and could be approved by the Senate at any time. These abortion bills and the others in the Senate go far beyond the Roe decision of 1973. They federalize unlimited abortion on demand while also overriding every protective measure designed to save the lives of the unborn and women.

If these bills pass the Senate, informed consent, parental notification and ultrasound requirements will be eliminated. Medical standards for abortion clinics will be eliminated, and yes, the horrific and gruesome “partial birth abortions” will be legal once again. Worse yet, health care providers and hospitals will be coerced to perform abortions.

If these bills pass, even pro-life doctors like Dr. Patti will be forced to perform abortions—whether they want to or not.

All Chuck Schumer needs to do is convince two more senators to vote with him in eliminating the filibuster, and unfettered abortion on demand will be the law of our land.

We cannot allow this to happen. The senators must hear from you.
