On 21 February, Monsignor Joseph Coffey (65), Auxiliary Bishop of the Military, along with several priests, the Sisters of Life and numerous other faithful, prayed fifteen decades of the rosary outside an abortion clinic in Philadelphia, USA. Over 6,000 abortions are performed there a year.
They were ridiculed, mocked and screamed at by a mob of militant activists on the opposite pavement. Due to the police presence, there was no physical violence.
Bishop Coffey told LifeSiteNews.com that he was there "for the babies when they die": "I hope that someday, maybe we can meet them in heaven and they can say, 'You were there, you were there with me when we died'."
He added that the police in the USA are not like those in England, who arrest people simply for praying outside abortion clinics: "We're not there yet, but we could be someday if we don't fight for our freedoms and rights."
