Alveda King: Troy Newman Takes a Hit for the Cause
Contact: Leslie Palma, 347-286-7277

ATLANTA, Oct. 6, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- It's a shame that in today's world one country can deny a visit from peaceful persons from other countries entry across their borders even when the guest is invited by one of that country's own citizens.

That's what's happening in Australia. Let's not confuse this situation with the current immigration wars. We're talking about a peaceful visit, not an attempt at illegal entry.

Here's the situation. Troy Newman of the prolife activist group Operation Rescue was invited to visit Australia for a 10 day speaking tour by Australia Right to Life. In route Troy found out that his visa has been cancelled by the Minister of Immigration, Peter Dutton at the request of a pro-abortion Member of Parliament, Terri Butler.

Terri alleges that Troy is an activist that advocates violence against abortion providers. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have known Troy for many years and have witnessed his dedication to ending abortion through peaceful means using the law to reign in a lawless industry. Through Operation Rescue, he and Cheryl Sullenger's investigative works have exposed many abortionists and abortion centers that are operating outside the law.

Troy is no stranger to adversity. He has faced many trials in his work fighting for the unborn and I'm sure this will not be his last trial.

Troy is a prayerful faith filled man who relies on strength and direction from God.

As James 1:2-4 says, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." NIV

Australia is fining thousands of dollars in restitution! They're charging OR for a stay in jail, court fees - anything and everything they can pin on Troy.

Let's cut to the chase here. Operation Rescue is being penalized for fighting for life. This fine is effectively a massive pro-life tax.

Let's join Troy in prayer as he faces yet another trial of faith. May God continue to grant him the love, faith, grace and wisdom to persevere yet again, coming closer and closer, going from victory to victory in the goal to glorify Christ for life.
