Vienna, Austria, Jul 10, 2008 / 03:23 pm (CNA).- Human Life International is asking for prayers in response to the “vile attacks” in Vienna, Austria, against pro-life demonstrators by assailants who are being paid to harass them by the owners of abortion clinics. Pro-life demonstrators who are sidewalk counseling outside the clinics have been sexually assaulted, and some of the attacks have been captured on video.

According to HLI, the peaceful pro-life protestors are enduring “vile attacks and pressure tactics” solely for praying in front of the Gynmed abortion clinic run by Dr. Christian Fiala.

Fiala is president of the International Federation of Associated Abortion and Contraception Professionals and is one of the leading proponents of abortion in Europe.

He admitted to local reporters that “agents” had been hired to harass pro-lifers. “For defensive reasons I have contracted agents on repeated occasions to stop the activity of anti-abortion activists,” he recently told the Der Standard newspaper.

Father Phillip Reilly of the organization Helpers of God’s Precious Infants—which promotes peaceful protests outside abortion clinics—deplored the attacks, which he called “physical and sexual harassment that is truly immoral.”

HLI has asked Catholics around the world to pray for pro-lifers as police in Austria “have done nothing to detain these attacks against peaceful protesters.” The organization also asked for letters to be sent in English to Austrian officials.

Dear friends,
thank you very much for this effort to help us in our work against those evil spirits in front of the abortionmill westbahnhof/vienna and in the souls of the defeedet. To share the goodness of GOD allmigthy a testimony of his work to enhence the glory of GOD: a few weeks ago, while i where praying in front of the mill, a monk from the monistry closed by came with the most holly Sakrament. He was on his way to sick people to spend the Holy Eucharistie and made his way by to us to pray with the Most Holy and us directly in front of the mill. He gave us the Eucharistische Segen right on the spot and on this day most of the women and couples went out of the mill, left there money and most likeliy kept their child. Nevertheless please keep on praying. God loves you. May the Lord GOD bless you all real good with all the migthy power of HIS Love. Editha

In previous e-mail, I should have used the words "hired agents" rather than escorts.

Here in the Chicago, Illinois area, USA, those escorts would be "punched out".

These people are sick to be doing what is not acceptable in public or private for that matter. They are violent and should be prosecuted. God will prevail and I will continue to pray for the end of abortion. It is an act of murder and is destroying the world. God bless all pro-lifers.

Thank you Father Reilly for speaking out. This proves more everyday we must put on our armor of faith and fight for Jesus! Fight, not in the ways of the world, but Fight with the tools Jesus has given us. That's the way to true peace not what the world says is peace!
Go forth mighty warriors of God and march with PEACE in a peaceless world we must bare on our shoulders until the Good Lord takes us home. There will be no rest until then. Keep the faith. I love you! God be with you always. -- Rosa

The answer is for hundreds of Catholics and Protestants to vastly outnumber the pro-aborts by joining the pro-lifers outside the abortion chambers. Christians must stop leaving pro-life tasks to just a few heroic souls.

Well, since they are already involved in this depraved act of defending abortion, they certainly won't see how 'caveman', arcaic, and uncivilized these sexual acts are. And the police are without excuse for their improper conduct in allowing it. Where is the intellect these days? I think humanity has traded in their brains for ignorance.
