Pro-Life People Sing Christmas Carols at Abortion Clinics to Save Babies

With messages of hope and life, pro-life advocates sang Christmas carols outside abortion facilities all across the country just before celebrating the birth of Jesus this past weekend.

The “Peace in the Womb” caroling project has been going on since 2003, and, through their singing and encouragement, pro-lifers have helped save unborn babies from abortion.

In the aftermath of the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, pro-life Americans are declaring, “All I want for Christmas is peace in the womb.” They gathered gather under banners expressing those words as they sing Christmas carols outside abortion facilities throughout the country, as part of the Pro-Life Action League’s annual “Peace in the Womb” Christmas Caroling campaign.

Eric Scheidler, director of the pro-Life Action League in Chicago, said he is disappointed pro-life people have to sing outside abortion centers in his home state of Illinois but encouraged that 14 other state currently ban abortions.

This was the first year of caroling post-Roe. Scheidler said caroling felt different this year, in part due to “the sorrow of abortion being so entrenched here in Illinois.”

But he said he’s relieved “unborn children are receiving some measure of protection from neighboring states.” Despite the ability to travel for an abortion, Scheidler said he believes the end of Roe “has already saved thousands of unborn children from abortion.”

In the future, he predicts that Iowa — a state where a measure to ban most abortions has been blocked by the courts — will pass some kind of new limit on abortion.

While Illinois has few limits on abortion access, Scheidler said he’s hopeful that eventually voters here will roll back some of the most “extreme” abortion policies, including a 2021 law that ended parental notice requirements for minors seeking to end a pregnancy.

“But it will take a long time,” he said.

“Ever since Roe v. Wade was overturned, the American people have been overwhelmed with propaganda from abortion advocates,” he added. “But behind euphemisms like ‘choice’ and ‘reproductive rights’ is the reality that every abortion is an act of violence perpetrated on an innocent human being. That’s why we’re calling for peace in the womb.”

He tells LifeNews.com that pro-life Christmas caroling was planned at over 80 abortion facilities coast-to-coast but not all may have happened due to the intense cold. In the 20 years that the League has conducted these caroling events, dozens of unborn babies have been saved from abortion. “In our first year singing carols, a woman walked out of American Women’s Medical Center in Chicago to tell us that hearing ‘Silent Night’ prompted her to cancel her abortion,” Scheidler reported. “In the years since, we’ve seen that story play out at abortion facilities all over the country.”

“It’s particularly sad to think of someone getting an abortion during the Christmas season,” Scheidler remarked. “After all, Christmas is the story of how the all sorrows of the world are conquered by the birth of a child — a child conceived in difficult circumstances. We bring this story of hope and joy to America’s abortion facilities, while offering to help in any way that we can.”
