I agree we should do both, pray for the conversion of these criminals who slaughter innocent children while working at the same time for the law to recognize abortion for the first degree murder it truly is. St. Ignatius said, “pray as if everything depends on God, work as if everything depends on you.” As this video shows, abortionists know and revel in the fact that abortion murders innocent children. Child killing has always been Satan's sacrament, so it was in the ancient world, where before Christianity, infanticide was widely practiced, so it is today with modern godless pagans.
Certainly St Therese had success in her efforts on behalf of an unrepentant sinner who at the last moment of his life asked to kiss the Crucifix (or an act of that type - I don't remember exactly).
Hi Nadir, I believe the killer in question is Pranzini, who was miraculously converted owing to the prayers of St. Therese Liseux, "the greatest Saint of modern times" in the words of another great Saint, Pope Pius X.
“My God, I am quite sure that Thou wilt pardon this unhappy Pranzini. I should still think so if he did not confess his sins or give any sign of sorrow, because I have such confidence in Thy unbounded Mercy; but this is my first sinner, and therefore I beg for just one sign of repentance to reassure me.” ...
“The day after his execution I hastily opened the paper…and what did I see? Tears betrayed my emotion; I was obliged to run out of the room. Pranzini had mounted the scaffold without confessing or receiving absolution, and…turned round, seized the crucifix which the Priest was offering to him, and kissed Our Lord’s Sacred Wounds three times. …I had obtained the sign I asked for, and to me it was especially sweet. Was it not when I saw the Precious Blood flowing from the Wounds of Jesus that the thirst for souls first took possession of me?
…My prayer was granted to the letter.”
Glorious St. Therese, pray for us, teach us to pray and pray for the end of the crime of abortion.
