Go to http://www.citizenlink.org/CLBriefs/A000006735.cfm to send your U.S. lawmakers an email asking them to suspend funding for Planned Parenthood while it is being investigated in Kansas and California! Good Work. Please Pray for the emails to make a tremendous impression and have a tremendous impact.

DAY 34 INTENTION
--------------------------------------------------
We pray for the conversion of abortionists and all abortion advocates.
--------------------------------------------------
SCRIPTURE
--------------------------------------------------
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow. -- Isaiah 1:16-17
--------------------------------------------------
REFLECTION
--------------------------------------------------
God is just. Inscribed around the inside of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC, are the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson: "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just." Jefferson knew in the depths of his being that God is just. We, as Christians, ought also to reflect on this profound truth. The justice of God, like his holiness and his purity, encourages us to seek justice for all people. It is the evil deeds and wrong, selfish attitudes of our modern society that have led to the cavalier acceptance of abortion and euthanasia. But, as Jefferson also said, "his justice will not sleep forever." God is calling us today to seek justice, to encourage the oppressed, and to defend the orphans and widows of our society. It is a noble calling! It is one which every true believer, every God-fearing man and woman, should heed with no hesitation and no reluctance. To follow the God of justice and truth is to stand unequivocally for the right to life of everyone, especially the unborn, the physically disabled, and the terminally ill. God's word through the prophet Isaiah is as relevant in today's 21st century world as it was in Isaiah's 8th century BC world. May God's grace help us to defend the unborn's right to life as well as that of the already born.
--------------------------------------------------
PRAYER
--------------------------------------------------
O God, our heavenly Father, give us courage and wisdom as we seek to eradicate the evil in our society. Help us to realize that your divine Spirit alone can change hearts and minds so that all your human creatures may enjoy the fullness of life you intended for them. I pray this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, Amen.

People in the state of California certainly aren't "honking" because they love Planned Parenthood. The Associated Press is reporting that the former vice president of finance and administration for the abortion chain's Los Angeles affiliate filed a whistle-blower lawsuit when he was fired after raising concerns about the organization's "illegal accounting, billing and donations practices." The federal suit contends that Planned Parenthood over billed California taxpayers by $180 million. The Los Angeles Times even confirmed that a 2004 state audit, "lends some support to Gonzalez's allegations. The report identified more than $5.2million in overbillings just during the 2003 fiscal year." Read the AP news story at: http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_8505013 Is it merely a coincidence that this blow to Planned Parenthood's PR image occurred while tens of thousands of people are praying and fasting during this 40 Days for Life? Perhaps. Regardless, let's pray that this development helps the people of California -- and across the nation-- decide to pull the plug on the abortion giant's $305.3 MILLION in annual tax funding!

Yours for Life,
