Death Toll May 15-20, 2006

Reporting from the “Baby-dumping capital of the Midwest” Granite City , IL .

  Once known for their towering steel mills, now known for the baby-dumping mill.

Hope Clinic- American Family Extermination Camp “destroying families one child at a time”

Severing over 366,000 mother –child relationships in their 32 year reign of terror

Monday- Bag n’ Tag 173 for medical research, pharmaceutical and cosmetic firms from past week’s carnage.

Tuesday- 36      TN, MO, IL      1 save      5 missionaries answered the call. Debbie spoke to a young black girl. She went inside but after twenty minutes she came back out and told her she changed her mind and wasn’t going to kill.

Apathetic Granitonians walking by missionaries snarled and cursed them Hospital employees stood across the street puffing on their cancer sticks and laughed and mocked their efforts to save lives. 

Wednesday- 29      MO, IL      5 missionaries answered the call and ministered to the lost and the saved going in to kill their children. Those standing in the gap discussed the impotency in the pro-life community. You can’t tell the republicans from the democrats and the Constitution Party is joining their ranks. You can’t depend on the politicians to stop abortion. Politics is the art of compromise.

Thursday- midnight abortions -32      TX, MO, IL      1 turnaway      7 pro-lifers answered the call.

Mothers began lining up and stood in line giggling as we quoted the Word to them. A car from Kentucky with a teenage couple kept circling the abortion mill and finally slowed down to pull in. They both looked over at the partial- birth abortion sign we hold and sped away! They never returned during our watch.

Ed was praying by the west entrance when all the sudden abortionist and felon Alan Palmer pulled up to the west garage door and lunged forward and revved up his motor. The garage door wasn’t going up as fast as he wanted. He was acting nervous. He then accelerated and hit the side of the building. He continued inside the garage and the door went down. Pieces of his car lay on the ground. Bro. Ed was doing some mighty praying when we came. “I’ve never witnessed anything like that,” he said. We returned to the front of the building and began telling the mothers what just occurred. “Would you still trust this abortionist’s judgment after wrecking his car into this building? Why would you allow him to stick sharp objects inside your bodies?”  

Friday- 48      KY, IN, TN, MO, IL    We arrived on the crime scene and approx. 6 missionaries answered the call. As soon as we started setting up the pregnancy outreach and our signs, a black woman waiting in line to go inside to kill was screaming scripture at us. “Thou shalt not judge.” I mused, “Is that the only scripture they remember?”  I called over, “How about ‘Thou shalt not kill?’ What about casting stones? Aren’t you judging your innocent baby?” She shut up at this point. “Ya’ll can kiss my @#%-- and go to hell.” Even the devil can quote scripture.

All morning we heard reports about the thirty week old baby whose mother dumped her in the trash dumpster behind a restaurant in Missouri . The media was reporting “How upset the paramedics were who rescued her from imminent death”. Their comments were, “How could anyone do that to a baby?” Hello...it happens everyday inside Hope abortion mill. Babies are ground up in the garbage disposal and flushed into the sewers of Granite City , Illinois . Where’s the outrage?? The baby-body parts couriers can handle only so many containers of dead babies. Where do you think the rest go? Do you think they give them a funeral and a burial? Get real, it happens everyday, between 40-50 daily.

I was doing my final sweep of the parking lot when I ran into a couple walking inside and this mother from Indiana was very pregnant, and was wearing low-rise sweatpants and a little crop top. Her bump was fully exposed. Her face was cold and hardened. “How can you go inside that slaughterhouse?” She grinned. “Look how big your baby is.” She refused the info and laughed as she walked passed us. Her male companion trailed in after her. Bro. Jack was astonished at the size of her bump. Where’s the TV cameras?  Where’s the outcry? She was slender and looked at least 6 months along. “They’ll be back tomorrow morning,” I sighed.

That evening we drove to Alton , Illinois to help with a baby-shower for Tyiesha, a save who is expecting triplets!   

Saturday- 55      KY², TN², IN, AK, MO, IL      2 saves      20 missionaries answered the call.         For the first two hours there were only 5 of us begging and pleading mercy for the innocent. We were outnumbered by the dozen or so of Lesbians and Homosexuals for death who donned their yellow vests with “poor-choice” emblazoned on them.

Early on a black girl walked back out of the baby-dumping mill and I was able to talk with her. She didn’t kill and said she would read the information I handed her and thanked us and drove off. Many of the male accomplices wore red cardinal jerseys and baseball hats, but when I saw the #5 jersey I let them know, “Albert Pujols would not take his baby in there to be butchered. Take responsibility. Men are to lay their lives down for their children, not our children laying their lives down for their parents.” God help us!

Finally the rosary people showed up and our numbers plumped up to twenty or so. I followed a couple who parked on the emergency room lot offering them help. They continued inside with what appeared to be a toddler girl. A few minutes later they came back out and sat in their car smoking. I told everyone to pray and intercede for this baby and I grabbed some tracts and made off to their car. I greeted them again and introduced myself. The rabid deathscort had followed me and stuck her head inside their car and screamed, “She‘s a protestor.” “It’s okay, I don’t bite.” They smiled and the deathscort backed off. I asked them if they were gonna kill and she said she didn’t know. I kicked it up a notch and told them how many children we have and they both looked at me and said, “You’re the baby lady. They were talking real bad about you inside and the escorts were making fun of you. They call you the crazy lady with all those babies.” Praise God! “Can we show you a picture of your baby? Did they show you inside the abortion mill?” “No,” she replied. “Okay Katie, I’m gonna set things up in case you want an ultrasound...you think about it. I can’t make that choice for you but at least I can show it to you.”

I walked over to prayer warriors and told them to keep praying! Chris and Katie got out of their car and began walking over to the van and came inside. I placed the wand on her protruding tummy. Chris immediately looked over and saw his little baby. He had tears in his eyes. I touched his knee and patted it, “It’s gonna be okay. I like men who can show tenderness. My husband is a crybaby.” He smiled. Then Katie peered over my arm to watch their 18.5 week old baby boy auditioning for his life. “Is he okay?” “He looks good but we need the doctor to confirm everything.”

I asked Katie, “You’re not going to go back inside there and kill him are you?”  She shook her head side to side. “No,” she said. I filled them in on our resources we can help them with. I asked them what changed their minds and Katie said, “They were making fun of you inside and it turned me off and when we saw all the people standing outside.” They hugged and thanked us for our help and promised to keep in touch. After they left the area everyone came up and inquired if they saved their baby and we told them, “Yes. Thank you for interceding.” One man was brought to tears and handed us a $20.00 donation. He said, “I was going to buy a shirt today, but I think you can use this for your ultrasound van.” 

200 babies killed. 3 babies saved. 1781 saves since January 2000 and 22 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!

Psalm 27:2-3 “When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.”

What makes a hero? The hero does not set out to be one. She is probably more surprised than others by such recognition. She was there when the crisis occurred…and she responded as she always had in any situation. She was simply doing what had to be done! Faithful where she was in her duty there…she was ready when the crisis arose. Being where she was supposed to be…doing what she was supposed to do…responding as was her custom…to circumstances as they developed…devoted to duty- she did the heroic!

How many heroes are listening to my voice? Or reading this report?  How many are sitting on their hands? Remember that cliché “Today is the first day of the rest of your life”? Well “Today could be the first day of being a hero for the rest of your life.” 

  In St. Louis , MO last week a premature baby 30 weeks gestation was delivered in a bathroom and then wrapped in plastic bags and thrown in a dumpster left to die. It took men and women to do the valiant thing and answer the call to find this baby after the mother admitted to a hospital nurse what she had done. Paramedics rushed to this baby’s aid searching through trash. They knew it was a matter of minutes, a race against time. This baby was within minutes of dying. When they found her they thought she was dead, then they saw her chest rise. They applied life saving measures.

  Due to their heroic efforts this baby is ALIVE and thriving. She has been taken off the ventilator and is breathing on her own and is no longer critical as when admitted, but now is in stable condition. Go Yea! They listened and they went. They didn’t know what to expect; whether this baby was dead or alive, but they answered the call. Go Yea! 

Firemen, paramedics, nurses, ordinary people everyday...heroes because they make themselves available and answer the call. You too can be a hero in times of crisis. The Lord can use you just as He did in the Bible many times over when Israel was being threatened with extinction. His people answered the call Go Yea! “If I perish, I perish.”

                Abortion in every conceivable way brings violations. It violates the child in the womb who is made in the image of God. It violates God, His Person, and His Holy Law. It violates nurturing in Motherhood and responsibility in Fatherhood. It is a destroyer of families.

     George Washington viewing his rag-tag group of weary soldiers who were starved, exposed to the harshness of the elements, outgunned, and out-manned inspired them with these words, “The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.”
