We appreciate all who turned out for this annual Mother's Day rally.
The pro-death folks were anticipating our turnout.
They had many of the members of NOW (National
Organization for Women) join them. The pro-death forces are definitely energized by
the pro-life/Christian apathy and the political climate. The innocent unborn are going
to die by even greater numbers if one of the two Democratic contenders is elected
President. Senator Obama has declared that his first act as president will be to sign
a Freedom of Choice bill to enshrine abortion rights into law and to fund abortion with
taxpayer money. Of course, he cannot do this alone. But if there is a democratic
sweep he will have all the power he needs. Please be certain all your friends and
family realize that this illustrious gentleman even voted against the 'Born Alive Child's
Protection Act.' Apparently, he is totally content with doctors smothering, drowning
or otherwise letting a baby who survives an abortion be left on the clinic counter until
it stops breathing. Both he and Hillary voted against the ban on partial-birth abortion.
How many pro-lifers will rationalize their vote for one of these baby-killers?
Some of us had an interesting discussion (as others were departing) with a 55 year old
man who was standing watch at the clinic to see if his 31 year old ex-girlfriend would
show up at the clinic. He was asking for advice, did not want to see the baby killed.
He said he had called the CPC 5 times, tried to talk the lady into letting him keep and
raise the baby. Said she had 3 already. Did not want their affair at work to become
public knowledge. Now wants nothing to do with him (the father) since he is bent on
not allowing the abortion. The only advice I could give for a lady this intent on killing
her child was to suggest to her that she look at the ultra-sound first, see the little one
in her womb. Then Jim and I turned him over to the ladies. Please pray for this man,
woman, and their unborn baby.
The breakfast at St. Martin's was absolutely outstanding and a great opportunity to
support a CPC. Thanks to all the volunteers and donators.
The two kids on top of the building to take pictures were arrested by the police and
taken into custody. Since they had the clinic's permission to be there, we suspect
the police found something on them.
Again, thanks for your support. Ron
