National Catholic Register, Dustin Siggins: Late last week, Mercy Missions founder Lauren Handy announced the forthcoming eviction – and, therefore, closure – of an abortion center just a few miles from Washington, D.C.
Handy told me that her group’s success came thanks to “sustained peaceful protesting” against the property’s owners, Peel Properties.
“….They owned the building Planned Parenthood is housed in. Through holding protests outside Peel Properties and calling Denise Peel, the owner, to live out her Catholic faith, the decision to cut Planned Parenthood’s lease was made.”
“We proclaimed the message, ‘we leave when Planned Parenthood leaves.’ The campaign is at its climax, to push along Peel Properties to move up the eviction date. 100 babies are killed each month at this location, and time is of the essence. This is a victory for the movement and most especially the babies.” Read more here.
