ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Christian
Newswire – Operation Rescue announces that it is sending two
missionaries to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to work with Project Defending Life in
opposing late-term abortions there. Bud and Tara Shaver plan to begin serving
in New Mexico by the end of June. They will join Operation Rescue’s Truth
Truck, which has already relocated to Albuquerque.
Earlier this month, the Shavers
spent a week in Albuquerque working with local pro-life groups and reaching out
at the three local abortion clinics, including Curtis Boyd’s Southwestern
Women’s Options (SWO), with exciting results.
After a morning of ministry outside
SWO offering help to abortion-bound women, the Shavers joined Fr. Stephen
Imbarrato, president of Project Defending Life in Albuquerque, for lunch at a
nearby restaurant. As if by divine appointment, late-term abortionist Curtis
Boyd was also at the restaurant and walked right past the pro-lifers.
Fr. Imbarrato jumped up and went
outside where he introduced himself to Boyd, shook his hand, and told the
elderly abortionist that Christians regularly pray for him. Fr. Imbarrato
offered to meet with Boyd at a later time to discuss his abortion business. The
chance encounter ended cordially.
The Shavers also ministered at the
local Planned Parenthood, which is located directly across the street from
Project Defending Life headquarters, an office that also serves as a pregnancy
help center offering free ultrasounds and other practical help for women.
“The Shavers have been a
tremendous asset to Operation Rescue during their time with us and have done
some amazing work on behalf of the pre-born,” said Operation Rescue
President Troy Newman.
The couple spent the last year as
interns with Operation Rescue learning cutting-edge tactics that are proven
effective at exposing and closing abortion clinics through peaceful, legal
means.
“We know the Shavers will
continue to be a blessing to the pro-life efforts in Albuquerque as they work
together with established organizations to end abortion in that
community.”

Operation Rescue is one of the
leading pro-life Christian activist organizations in the nation and has become
a strong voice for the pro-life movement in America. Operation Rescue is now
headquartered in a former abortion clinic that it bought and closed in
2006. From there, Operation Rescue launches its innovative new strategies
across the nation, exposing and closing abortion clinics through peaceful,
legal means. Its activities are on the cutting edge of the abortion issue,
taking direct action to stop abortion and ultimately restore legal personhood
to the pre-born in obedience to biblical mandates.
