WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 /Christian Newswire/ -- David Bereit, National Director of 40 Days for Life, will be in Charleston, South Carolina this week to respond to the actions of Tennessee-based abortionist Gary Boyle, who recently threatened peaceful 40 Days for Life prayer volunteers by pointing a loaded handgun at them outside the Charleston Women's Medical Center abortion facility.

TIME: 12:30 p.m.

During the event, which is open to all members of the media and the public, Bereit will:

  • Thank the police, local volunteers, and media outlets for properly responding to Boyle's antagonistic actions
     
  • Emphasize that the only appropriate response to this threat of violence is love and non-violence
     
  • Ask for prayer for all those who work in the abortion industry -- and for the healing of all those who have been harmed by abortion
     
  • Encourage the local 40 Days for Life campaign to persevere in the face of persecution and not be intimidated into silence
     
  • Call for an end to all violence and threats of violence surrounding the divisive abortion issue
