Please Help This Single Mom Who Fought Abortion Workers to Keep Her Baby


I am writing to tell you the dramatic story of a single mom who fought abortion facility workers in order to save the life of her baby and to request your help.


On the morning of May 22, Precious was brought to the “Aid- For-Women” Abortion Facility in Kansas City, Kansas by her older sister, and was scheduled to be the first abortion-client.  However, when her older sister came out to smoke, she saw the large photo of an 8-week old baby that a Kansas Coalition for Life volunteer was holding, and the 10-week-old aborted baby photograph on the Truth-truck. These photos emotionally stirred the older sister, and she sent a text message to Precious about the graphic photos. This caused Precious to have second thoughts about having her abortion. Precious was 7½ weeks pregnant at the time. Mark Gietzen, president of KCFL, and a volunteer sidewalk counselor, spoke to the older sister, offering her financial help, even though the pro-life organization did not and still does not have much money in their account.

When Precious heard that there was “A CRAZY MAN” outside who said that he would help her financially, she decided to come out and talk about it. However, before she could leave the room, Abortionist Ronald Yoemens walked in to begin the abortion.

Since Precious had just then decided against having the abortion, she refused to lay down on the abortion-gurney. When she refused the stern verbal orders to do so, two female abortion-nurses and one male abortion-nurse, grabbed Precious by her shoulders and arms, and tried to force her to mount the gurney. This was clearly an illegal physical assault.

A fight ensued, and a Security Guard went in to break up the fight inside. Fortunately, Precious was able to escape and to talk to KCFL counselors. Emotionally distraught from the fight which had ensued inside the abortion facility, Precious talked to KCFL for nearly an hour before she was able to calm down following the trauma.

Precious is a 23-year-old student who works two jobs. She is unmarried, and has two other young children whom she loves dearly. Her ONLY reason for scheduling an abortion was her financial concerns. Precious refuses to accept welfare, even though she is struggling to feed and care for her other two children.

The following message is from Mark Geitzen, KCFL President:



Precious is not our first such save. We have had about a dozen of this kind of save at Tiller’s gate in Wichita, and one previous one in Kansas City. Normally, their financial need is immediate and short-term. Even though we offer help “until the child turns 18 years old” most of these ladies just want the reassurance that WE WILL BE THERE AS A LAST RESORT for them, in their future possible dire financial need.

In fact, we once saved a baby’s life by paying only a $47 electric bill and nothing more! Once that woman was convinced that we were serious about our offer to help her, she was satisfied, and she has yet to ask for more financial help! Others have indeed asked for on-going help, but never, in my opinion, unreasonably so. Mostly, the woman wants us to be there for her in an emergency.

I am writing to ask you for a financial donation of $50. If you can afford more, that would be helpful …if less, that is equally appreciated. To donate, go here.

Also, if it is feasible for you to do so, I want you to consider taking a shift at the Aid-For-Women Abortion Facility, in Kansas City. Babies are dying that could easily be saved! If you can take even a once-per-month shift in Kansas City, please write to me at: Mark@Gietzen.us.

Thank you for all that you have done in the past at Tiller’s gate, and thanks in advance for helping us in our current financial needs.

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Image
Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

St. Raymond Nonnatus, Patron of Expectant Mothers, Midwives, and Newborn Babies

Image
The saint of the day for August 31 is St. Raymond Nonnatus. He is the patron of expectant mothers, midwives, obstetricians, infertile couples, and newborn babies. Raymond was born at Portella, Catalonia, Spain in 1204, the son of wealthy parents. He was delivered by cesarean section when his mother died in childbirth. Hence his name non natus (not born). In his childhood, he seemed to find pleasure only in his devotions and serious duties. His father, sensing that Raymond was drawn to religious life, ordered him to manage one of the family farms. Raymond readily obeyed but spent his time with the shepherds and workers, studying and praying until his father abandoned the idea of making his son a worldly success. Raymond later joined the the Order of Our Lady of Mercy or the Mercederians, which was founded by St. Peter Nolasco, who devoted to ransoming Christians captured by the Moors. He succeeded Peter as chief ransomer and went to Algeria to ransom slaves. He remained as hosta
