February 11, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – This Lent, a pro-life group would like you to pray for an abortionist – specifically, an abortionist who facilitates the sale of unborn babies' body parts.

The Pro-Life Action League is asking for people to pray for three people in particular throughout the 40 days of Lent. All three were caught on video by the Center for Medical Progress.

Dr. Deborah Nucatola appeared in the first video released last July, sipping red wine and stabbing her salad as she discussed the dismemberment of aborted children, including where to “crush” their bodies for a “less crunchy” technique.

The second is Dr. Mary Gatter, who appeared in the second undercover video, haggling over the prices Planned Parenthood expected to receive for the aborted children's organs and tissue. At one point, she joked that she wants the revenue to pay for “a Lamborghini.”

And the third is Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards, who was also caught in the first video praising Dr. Nucatola.

Despite the shocking evidence uncovered by CMP, Richards has insisted her organization did not receive any profit for what she dubs its “fetal tissue donation program.” She apologized only for Dr. Nucatola's “tone.” She has since said that Planned Parenthood will not receive any remuneration for babies' body parts.

“These three architects of Planned Parenthood’s baby parts scheme have devoted their lives to the destruction and exploitation of human life in the name of ‘choice,’” said Eric Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League. “If we won’t pray for them, who will?”

He asked Christians to pray for these three abortion industry profiteers – and for Richards, who is a post-abortive woman – in order to fulfill Jesus Christ's commandment in the Bible, “Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you” (St. Matthew 5:44).

“In God’s eyes, what abortion has done to these three women may be worse than what they’ve done to unborn children, who now rest in our Lord’s loving arms,” Scheidler said.

For most Catholics, Lent began yesterday on Ash Wednesday, and lasts 40 days.
