Some 1,000 pro-lifers from across the nation reportedly participated during a three-day prayer offensive against late-term abortion clinics in Kansas.

The Wichita Awakening concluded with five hundred Christians attending the final praise and worship concert on Monday at the Mid-American Indian center. Earlier that day, the group had gathered in front of George R. Tiller’s notorious abortion mill for one of the largest turnouts there since 1991, according to host organization Operation Rescue. Attendees included notable pro-life movement leader Norma McCorvey, the former “Roe” of Roe v. Wade, who now works to end abortion.

“The phenomenal response to this event can be attributed to the collective shock and concern across our nation to Tiller’s late-term abortion practice, for which he is now facing criminal charges,” said Operation Rescue president Troy Newman about Wichita Awakening,

“And to the increasing enthusiasm of the emerging generation to support the cause of life,” he added.

...Participants at the Women’s Health Care Services protest wore red tape printed with the word “LIFE” over their mouths...One of the many highlights of the recent three-day event was the successful dissuasion of a woman from carrying out her abortion plans on Monday.

The woman, who was scheduled to receive an abortion at Tiller’s clinic, was encouraged by the group to visit a pro-life medical clinic, Choices Medical Center, located directly next door, according to Operation Rescue. The woman after consultation at the clinic decided to keep her baby.

“We are excited to see the fruit that will come from the seeds of prayer that were planted in Wichita over the weekend,” said Operation Rescue president Troy Newman.
