A Brooklyn, New York-based abortion center will stop doing abortions
after 22 years and will reopen as a legitimate medical center offering
help to patients rather than death to unborn children.
Msgr. Philip Reilly and the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants, a
local pro-life group, have stopped praying outside the Brooklyn
Ambulatory Surgery Center in Sunset Park. For the past 22 years, the
priest and his devoted pro-life friends have been seeking an end to
abortion at the Brooklyn location. Their prayers have been heard as the
new owners of the building have said abortions will no longer take
place when it reopens as the New York Center for Specialty Surgery.
The
new owners have gone as far as inviting Msgr. Reilly and Father Kevin
Sweeney, pastor of nearby St. Michael’s Church, to bless the new
facility — which they will do on September 29.
The Brooklyn Tablet has more on the closing of the Brooklyn Ambulatory Surgery Center abortion facility.
“It’s like a miracle!” says Father Sweeney, who has been
praying with the Helpers since he was a seminarian. He announced the
news to his congregation at a Sunday Mass to thunderous applause.
Parishioners from St. Michael’s have been among the steady, dedicated
volunteers who have been standing outside the building at Third Ave. and
43rd St., praying and offering alternatives to distressed mothers and
fathers.
“This was the oldest and largest abortion clinic in New York City and
for many years, in the United States,” said Msgr. Reilly. “I believe
more than a quarter of a million unborn children lost their lives
there.”
