NEAR THE CROSS -- Paul Turtle from St. Francis de Sales Church, Mableton, holds the sign of God's victory over sin and death, the cross of Jesus Christ, during a prayer service outside the Northside Women's Clinic, a Chamblee abortion clinic. More than 60 people showed up to pray the rosary on Jan. 20, the weekend prior to the anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion in 1973.
