According to a report in the Illinois Leader, 200 people living near Dr. Vinod Goyal will receive the card, which reads:

Your neighbor, Dr. Vinod Goyal, 777 Thompsons Way, is an abortionist. If Mary & Joseph were pro-choice, they could have visited him to terminate the life of the Prince of Peace.
Please join with us this Christmas to pray that the Holy Spirit changes Dr. Goyal's heart so that he uses his God-given talent to save babies instead of aborting them.
The paper reports pro-lifers have been faithfully protesting in front of Goyal's Barrington, Ill., home for one hour each third Saturday of the month for over a year. Protesters also demonstrate at the doctor's clinic several times a week.
Jim Finnegan and Dan Gura came up with the idea of sending the Christmas cards this year, the Leader reports. They are with an organization called Vote Life America.

"I'm interested in the life issue because my wife and I were blessed with two adopted daughters," Gura told the paper. "We are interested in promoting life and thought this would be another way to raise the issue."
The Christmas card includes no return address, but the activists think they'll likely hear from neighbors when they keep their monthly appointment at Goyal's home next Saturday.

"Sometimes the neighbors are encouraging; sometimes they're not," Gura told the paper, adding that protesters will be singing Christmas carols at the doctor's home Saturday as they picket.
