From personal experience, we wouldn't even be talking about banning abortion if it were not for Rescue. The years preceding rescue barely registered any significant pro-life activity at all. The Church was silent. Abortion was an unquestioned reality, especially in Europe. Rescue exploded pro-abortion complacency and put anti-abortion peaceful non-cooperation on the map-front page.
Since that time (1988-1992) of active rescuing , abortion was taken off the back burner and has been front and center for many years. It was the flame that ignited a true resistance.
As far as Roe V Wade being overturned, well , Lad is probably right. It was only overturned as ((they)) allowed it to be so, but God will use it, and without Rescue ((They)) would probably never used Roe as a tactic as it would not have been a hot-button of contention.
Rescue saved many babies and converted and redeemed many rescuers. It was an amazing time.
PS- Bishop Austin Vaughn was my Bishop and we followed him. So great to see him in this video.
