In 2008, we learned about a Pro-life grandmother, Linda Gibbons, who is imprisoned for taking a stand outside an abortion clinic. There is a court order that prohibits any pro-life activity within 60 feet of this clinic.
You can learn more about her here: http://www.lifesitenews.com/gibbons/When we learned she was to spend Christmas in custody, we as a family decided to reach out to her, we sent her a simple Christmas greeting card to assure her of our prayers and encourage her in this mission of speaking for the unborn.
This was her response:

Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ...II Corinthians 2:14
Greetings in the Princes of Life, Pray this finds you well and rejoicing in al He is this Holy season.
Thank you for the lovely card of Mother + Child, quite lovely. It was so kind of you to remember me at this busy time of year and thanks too for your loyal prayers.
What glad news you bring me about 441 babies saved because of the 40 days of fasting and prayer project! What fasting! What prayers!
It was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Who said, “Injustice must be rooted out by strong persistent and determined action.”
Our ex-Prime Minister, Mr. Chretien said Canada is at peace with abortion. There can be no peace where there is no justice. Till we return protection to innocent life in the womb, O Canada, the bell tolls for thee!
My mail which I am calling “The Canadian Response” speaks of better things – a country that stands on guard for each and every child.
So Fight the Good Fight!
All God’s Blessings and supply in 2009!
Love in the Christ Child,
Linda
