Abortion clinic Christmas project: Sing carols, bring gifts
For 12 years Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust have been singing Christmas carols and bringing gifts to local abortion clinics and are encouraging pro-lifers around the country to do the same. Here’s the gist:
What could be more moving than a carol of Mary with the Christ Child in her womb sung outside of an abortion mill where the innocents are murdered daily? The words pierce; the tunes seem unusually haunting, your soul cries out for the lives in danger just inside the killing center….
Every Christmas, people just like you – High school students, college students, and families – bring gift baskets to abortion clinics for expectant mothers who are deciding whether to keep the child within them. The baskets are filled with baby blankets, bibs, rattles and booties; but more importantly, the baskets are filled with hope. Every basket contains a tract offering the love of Christ and information about the precious life growing inside each woman, offering hope in a desperate time.
But that isn’t all; the Survivors also bring gifts to the abortion clinic workers – sincere gifts of love for their hearts and souls. There is Christmas candy and a booklet sharing our faith in Christ, the very Baby about whom we are singing.
What is easier than singing carols outside an abortion facility? God says whatever you do for the least of them you do for Him – what will you do? Will you join us as we sing Silent Night and reach out to the least of these?

The Pro-Life Action League also conducts two “Empty Manger” caroling tours at abortion clinics in the Chicago area and has a list on its website of other caroling days in Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, and Washington.

This is the BEST CHRISTMAS IDEA I have ever seen!!!
Thank you for sharing!!!!!
This is a terrific and loving idea. I can’t wait to share this information with local fellow pro-life leadership.
I do love this idea, but I wonder about the legalities involved. Can we just walk into an abortion clinic and hand out gifts? Is that a buffer zone violation?
I LOVE THIS IDEA!!
I think you can give to the escorts just standing outside.
But I was told I can’t go in cause I am “protesting.” So I should stash my I Regret My Abortion sign and walk in! :)
Great idea of how to bring the love of Christ to places where it is always winter, but never Christmas.
So we’re basically trying to emotionally manipulate and guilt-trip the clinic workers into quitting their jobs (especially with the empty cradle) & convince the women to carry to term using gift baskets filled with baby items. I can’t agree with this, it’s emotional manipulation and dishonest :/
I think the pro-life movement should use such songs even when it isn’t Christmas. With their reverence for the Infant Jesus and the sacrifice of Christ, these beautiful songs are perfect for Christian pro-life activists to sing, in honor of our lost sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, and in a spirit of self-sacrifice for our fellow man. The symbolism seems so appropriate that I believe even secular pro-life activists might suitably feature these songs, too. I just recently did a post on this:

Ladybug,
Um. No. The motivation is love. Love wins. Always. When you hand out your gifts this Christmas are you trying to manipulate? Is it emotionally dishonest? Singing Christmas songs is dishonest?
Telling young women that “its just a bunch of cells” not showing them the ultrasound of their child, telling them it isn’t a baby, not describing the horrific pain of having your baby sucked out of your womb by a highpowered vacuum?
THAT is emotional manipulation and dishonest. :/
But you gave me my laugh for today so I thank you for that!! :)
PS Many abortion mill workers WANT to quit. When you offer something better…..they will.

You took the words out of my mouth!
What a wonderful idea! I love this! I wish more organizations would do things like this it’s the true way to change hearts and save lives with LOVE and care just like Christ called all of us to do.

I took Ladybug’s comment as sarcastic. If not, I retract my “like”. Perhaps Yoda would’ve been easier understood? :)
I had the morose thought that the clinic workers would gladly accept gold, but would have no need for the frankincence and myrhh to hold on to for the future burial.
I know, I know. Merry Christmas everyone. No, this is an excellent campaign. Love bombs are the best weapons in this war.
I really like this idea as well – especially if I can think of them as “love bombs” (thanks Hans!).
I wonder what the clinic workers think and what they really do with baby baskets. Those have got to be some interesting expressions and conversations. =)
Love bombs!! Love it, Hans! What a genius….
Don’t forget joy grenades….. :)
I really like the idea of giving abortionists genuine gifts on and around Christmas. As the amazing Carla always says: love wins. :) I’m in favor. We could call it hug an abortionist day.
After re-reading Ladybugs comments, Hans, I believe you are right. I’m not always good at picking up on sarcasm in real life and sarcasm can often be misused/misunderstood. I’m really bad at picking up on it over the internet.
I want to do this but I don’t have the money to put together baby baskets. I have a feeling if I ask my church I’ll just get a lot of lip service but nothing will be done. They always have to have meetings and pray about before they do ANYTHING. They did however come through and send a lot of baby clothes and items to a woman considering an abortion in another state (that I am friends with) but their focus is on the prison ministry they have and door to door outreach. I’m not trying to badmouth my church because I love my very small, very friendly church. But I guess what I’m saying is I wish I could do this but don’t know how exactly. I don’t have support and I definitely don’t have the money myself. But what a GREAT idea this is!
I think this is a great idea. Although what they do is against life, what they do is just their profession. Let’s just give them a chance. Everybody deserves to be treated right and fairly. Happy Christmas everyone!
