From the Mail Bag 2

Dear Sir,

I am on the line with pro-life actions. Thus speaking and distributing papers and pamphlets against abortion. I co-ordinate more education lessons on abortion.

I am very interested to hear of you and wish to request your free tape (Ending Abortion With Compassion). Please, I will also appreciate for one of “The Jericho Plan.”

I hope my request would meet with your kind gesture. Hoping to receive and to hear from you very soon. Thank you.

Dear Dr. Reardon,

Since learning of your work several years ago, I have always thought that you have found the key to unlocking the door that has kept the pro-life movement from really succeeding. Your message, your emphasis on the woman and her family as well as the unborn baby hits at the core of what we, who are pro-life, need to remember as we continue to work toward an end to this complete disregard and disrespect for God’s gift of life.

I am the mother of five young children and my pro-life work is mostly done from home. I hope someday to be able to be more actively involved in helping to spread your message. We do pray and will always keep your work in our prayers.

Dear Elliot Institute,

I have a “pamphlet ministry” in San Diego. I walk the streets with a sign that says “Abortion Hurts Women” and hand a pamphlet to anyone who will take one. Some days I get ten to twenty out, other days one to three. I have been using the pamphlet “The Aftereffects of Abortion– Understanding Your Risks.”

I heard David Reardon at a banquet in San Diego recently and was impressed with the strategy he had. I’ve been reading Aborted Women, Silent No More and it causes me to go out with my pamphlets more than I normally do. The book is a heart-breaker.

The following is from a note passed to me after a talk I gave at a pro-life convention.

Dear Dr. Reardon,

I have just come back to my room after hearing your talk and I felt I should write you immediately for fear of letting time go by and never getting this letter off to you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your words of truth, hope, and mercy.

I am only 29 years of age but have encountered women in my life who are tremendously wounded by abortion. As you pointed out, none of us are free from the effects of abortion, directly or indirectly.

God willing, I will be a priest one day. This is my hope and my joy.

I cannot encourage you enough to keep doing what you are doing. You asked for our prayers. You certainly have mine. Please, if you would remember me and my fellow seminarians in yours.

Sincerely in Christ,

David Fleck

Dear Dr. Reardon,

Your tape was very reflective of me. You see, I could easily have been one of your samples of people regretting past decisions.

For the longest time, I was “on the wrong side of the street.” I believed all that garbage about abortion being the lesser of evils and all such polluted thinking. I pray that through your public speaking, and the grace and mercy of God, you are able to show people the errors of abortion . . . especially to confused souls who are pregnant and scared. Abortion scars deeply and the wounds aren’t easily healed. Believe me, I know.

Truly praying for your goal of an abortion free country (…world?).
