Abortion Clinics Sold | |
|
MELBOURNE, Fla. (EP) -- Abortion clinic owner Patricia Baird Windle sold her controversial clinics, saying she is tired after her decade-long fight with pro-life activists. Windle, 64, was part of the case which led to the Supreme Court's 1994 Madsen decision limiting the First Amendment rights of abortion protesters who picket abortion clinics. Demonstrations by Operation Rescue and other pro-life groups at Windle's clinics cut abortions in half, from about 2,000 a year in 1989 to about 1,000 last year. The Rev. Flip Benham, director of Texas-based Operation Rescue National, said of Windle, "She is gone because Christians came there with the gospel." |

Graham: Millennium Changes, But God Remains The Same | |
|
MONTREAT, N.C. (EP) -- While futurists are busy guessing what changes the new millennium will bring, the world's most famous preacher is reminding people that the most important things will remain the same. "Man's heart has not changed. God has not changed," evangelist Billy Graham, 81, told the Associated Press. Reflecting on a half-century of ministry in which he has preached to more than 210 million people, Graham said, "Some of the things I've heard are going to happen technologically are way beyond anything I can think about. I don't think that's going to change society. Society is made up of people, and people are the same the world over." While American society is increasingly secular, Graham told the AP he sees growing religious interest. "I see people believing more and more and more in Christ," he said. "Maybe not to surrender their lives to Him, but they believe He is the only answer to life's problems." In particular, Graham said, young people are looking for answers to life's big questions. "They may not know what it is, but a great segment of youth are on this spiritual quest."
