The Difference One Person Can Make: Mary Wagner for Good, Henry Morgentaler for Evil

Henry Morgentaler, mass murderer
of infants in the womb, icon of  death.

The Catholic Association of Polish Doctors sent a letter to Mary Wagner on the Second Sunday of Advent praising her efforts to save babies from death and their mothers from a lifetime of regret. The letter also provided some abortion history describing the Polish link to Canada's abortion law in the person of Henry Morgentaler.

You've never heard of Morgentaler? Here's a bit from his obituary in the New York Times in 2013:

A Letter from Jail: Mary Wagner, Canadian Rescuer Whose Goal is to "Bring Love Where There is No Love."

Have you heard of Mary Wagner? You should. Mary is a heroine of unborn babies many of whom are alive today because of her witness. Mary began the Red Rose Rescues. She goes into abortion mills with red roses, fetal baby models, and notes to the moms that include places they can receive help to continue their pregnancies. Her example, which includes several years spent in prison, is inspiring rescues here in the United States.

What Better Way to Spend Christmas than Saving Babies?

Mary Wagner: a Heroine for Christmas, a Heroine for Christ

Mary Wagner is an angel sent by God to women considering abortion. Like the angel who rescued Baby Jesus from Herod's murderous soldiers, Mary goes into the temples of human sacrifice and offers women the chance to rescue their babies from Satan's knife wielding minions. Think of the life-long impact Mary has if she saves a mother from forever linking Christmas to the murder of her child. What a gift to save a mother from such a fate.

This Christmas while most of us are in church dressed in our Christmas best or in our warm homes celebrating Christmas joy with our families, Mary will be in an Ontario jail. She will spend her Christmas counseling the inmates and bringing a gentle message of Christ's love. And why is she there? For going into an abortion mill with roses and a message of hope and help.

Pro-Life History: 1993 baby rescue begins at abortionist's home

"If you remain indifferent in time of adversity, your strength will depart from you. Rescue those being dragged to death, and from those tottering to execution withdraw not. If you say, "I know not this man!" does not he who tests hearts perceive it? He who guards your life knows it, and he will repay each one according to his deeds." Proverbs 24: 10-12



Missionaries to the Pre-born took this proverb seriously in 1993 when they prevented Milton Tarver from leaving his home and going to his place of "business" where he would kill babies all day. Instead, rescuers blocked his car and physically put themselves between the abortionist and his victims. How many babies were saved that day? Who knows, but statistics show that about 25% of women prevented from aborting will never return.

What is Milton Tarver doing today - almost 20 years later? I don't know, but there is a Milwaukee Ob-Gyn named Milton G. Tarver who has a Milwaukee listing which does not list abortion as a service. Does he still kill children? Let's pray not.

As for the history of the abortion wars, a pro-lifer warrior has told the story from her perspective. Monica Migliorino Miller has written what's been described as the "best book ever written on abortion." It will take you back to the early days of the movement when babies bodies were retrieved from dumpsters to be given decent burials, when pro-lifers put their bodies between the abortionists and their victims and willingly went to jail as a result.

I read several chapters from the book and urge you to do the same. Would that we had many missionaries to the babies with the courage to continue doing this today when the little ones are still being massacred every day in the death centers of this country. Would that I had the courage now that my children are grown up and no longer dependent on me to return to my rescue days. A few have that courage, like Mary Wagner of Canada. May the Lord call others to imitate her example.
