Pro-life supporters are urged to join a peaceful prayer witness on Wednesday, July 29 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Princeton Women's Services Center, 1345 Kuser Road, Hamilton.

The prayer witness is planned in response to a complaint filed by the NJ Attorney General's Office alleging that abortion provider Steven Chase Brigham, following the loss of his medical license in 2014, never transferred business ownership of eight New Jersey abortion facilities. Princeton Women's Center is one of those clinics which were required to be divested under a court order.

Prayers will be offered for the end to abortion, particularly at this Hamilton facility, and that the Attorney General's Office will conduct a thorough and fair investigation leading to the appropriate consequences and penalties.  Parking for the prayer witness is available on street on the adjacent Estates Blvd. Attendees are asked not to park in the Victoria Apartment lots or at 1345 Kuser Road.

According to John Muka, pro-life advocate and parishioner of St. Vincent de Paul Parish, Yardville, a long-standing group of pro-life supporters has been providing prayerful witness at the Hamilton clinic every Saturday from 7 to 10 a.m., which anyone is welcome to join. The power of prayer helped close another facility in the area before the current facility opened; then the Kuser Road facility, just half a mile from Muka's residence, opened four years ago.

"Primarily we'd like to make sure the attorney general's office knows that the community is concerned about what is going on," Muka explained. "There are people breaking the law, criminals running this facility... If someone gets harmed, what is the recourse (for victims), who will take responsibility? I think it's a chance to say, whatever your views on abortion, we respect the law and expect the doctors to operate within legal statutes."

"We try to help the people, too," he added. "They are in such dire straits."

By law, Brigham is prohibited from maintaining ownership in any medical facility in the state with a revoked medical license. He was supposed to have transferred ownership to his long-time associate and medical director, abortionist Vikram H. Kaji -- a Bombay-trained obstetrician and gynecologist who has himself had his license suspended in the mid-90s for patient sexual abuse, and is under scrutiny for medical competency following a recent stroke that impaired his vision and memory.

Brigham has a history of illegal and prosecutable charges, including patient abuse and performing late-term abortions -- illegal in New Jersey -- even beginning the abortion process in this state and requiring patients to go to another of his out of state clinics to complete the procedure, attempting to skirt New Jersey law. He was barred from ownership of clinics in Pennsylvania in 2010. Brigham's abortion empire includes over 17 clinics in New Jersey, Virginia and Delaware.

Father Stanley Krzyston, pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Parish, echoes Muka's concerns. As a long-time pro-life advocate himself, Father Krzyston believes there is a real need for Catholics to step forward and defend life, through patient witness.

"My idea is to be the turtle rather than the hare," he said. "I think evil has become acceptable and even politically correct, and we Catholics are so far away from the normal conscience of America... This is one of those (opportunities for) witness, one of those lines that gets crossed."

And Father Krzyston asserted that the outcome is inevitable.

"I believe firmly the Church will always trump with eternal life," he insisted. "We have patience plus God - we're the last ones standing. The other groups come and go, but the Church stays. It's in God's hands, we gotta be persistent in prayer."
