Death Toll October 23-28, 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 192 murdered babies for medical research, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic firms from past week’s carnage.

Tuesday-midnight abortions- CLOSED!!    3 pro-lifers  Praise God for the World Series Championship playoff game as the abortion mill took the evening off to enjoy the game. Abortion mill employees were finishing up and rescheduling appointments and declined to take abortions this evening.

Wednesday- 14      MO, IL      2 pro-lifers    Some abortions rescheduled from the night before were underway inside the extermination center.

Thursday- 37      AK, IN, KY, MO, IL      1 save      9 pro-lifers   A small rosary group from Christ the King Church in Springfield, Illinois stood with us in a cold, steady drizzle of rain as we pleaded with the mothers to spare their babies from this horrific act of violence. Two black American women walked back out and told us they were saving their baby and took our resource information and drove away.

Friday- 30      AK, IN, MO, IL      4 saves      5 pro-lifers    So what if it is pouring down rain and cold wind is blowing in your face? It’s still a good day to save lives. Rescue 101 began early after our arrival. A young girl named Teleah came back out and we asked her if we could help her. She pulled over to us and we noticed her large belly; she was 32 weeks pregnant. She was shocked at the graphic sign of a late-term abortion. “That’s what your baby will look like if you go back in there.” She broke down and couldn’t. She accepted our brochure and promised to stay in touch.

A Missouri couple walked out right after we watched Teleah drive away. We asked if they saved their baby and they said, “Yes,” and we walked them to their car. “Thank you!” they told us and they drove away.

A young girl “Molly” from Washington University was writing a paper for her anthropology class. She observed us in action and took down abortion facts and other information as to why we do what we do. What that has to do with anthropology I don’t know, but it was a great witnessing opportunity. She was cold and wet as she stood with us; what an education she got outside an abortion mill. She commented on all the out-of -state cars. The body parts courier arrived to pickup the dead babies and she was shocked. “My people perish from a lack of knowledge.” Hosea 4:6 She thanked us for helping her with her paper.

Later on in the morning, a couple from Missouri came out after going through with the abortion. The woman was sobbing uncontrollably. They got in their car and we offered them a Small Victories brochure. They then drove off. Abortion hurts women. It has two victims: one dead and one wounded. Abortion is forever.

Later that evening across the river in St. Louis , Missouri the St. Louis Cardinals clenched the World Series Championship to their fans’ delight. 

Saturday- 33      IN, MN, MA, AK, MO, IL      3 saves      90-100 pro-lifers    Community of Faith Church drove the two-hour drive to be the watchmen on the wall and to do a Jericho march around these gates. Our best signs down there were the girls who brought their little babies that are currently being discipled within this Church body at their post-natal home: The Refuge Home in Southern Illinois .

The “scream preacher-boy” was standing on “krazy korner”. Pastor Todd and two elders tried to talk with him and offered to take him to breakfast but he would have nothing of that. He had an agenda; he was there to be heard. He was going to scream the babies to their deaths. And a fine job he did. Grace, the homeless woman, began chanting and raising her voice.

A car with two Missouri women pulled up to them and both John and Grace began screaming condemnation at them. These abortion-bound mothers need to hear the truth, and the gospel is good, but when you’re standing less than 3 feet from them screaming, not talking, it sounds like hate speech. I apologized to the woman for their actions. She thanked me and said, “We are already emotionally distressed. Screaming hate at us will only get us in there faster.” And, she was right. Standing on “krazy korner” is truly a test of strength.

The very pregnant older woman from Arkansas was back; she could barely walk inside. This was day 3 of her late-term abortion. Deathscort and former Kirkwood High School principle Franklin McCallie was vigorously escorting the babies inside, when a mother and daughter came back out; they didn’t go through with the abortion. We overheard Franklin telling them they don’t have to take our pro-life literature. I scolded him, “So much for choice. They have a free-will; why shouldn’t they be told of free services and resources?” He then wanted to read the materials we help with, which I gave him a brochure. “Well I like your brochure Angela, but this other stuff makes them feel bad.” “Franklin, if it’s the truth, why wouldn’t you want them to know that?” “They shouldn’t feel bad for their abortion,” he said. “ Franklin , that’s what abortion does to women. That’s why we warn them. And even if they go through with it, we are here to offer them real hope and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.”

I didn’t want to dicker anymore with Mr. overly-educated McCallie, so I told him to make sure the women get the literature I placed in his hand if they chose to keep their babies and I walked away to talk with others pulling onto the lot. He looked dumb-founded.

Another pro-life man came over to me and asked, “Did I just see you hand the deathscort pro-life literature and tell him to give it to the women?” “Yes, you did,” and I smiled.

There were three saves throughout the morning stand. We poised for a group picture and prayed before we left.

114 babies killed. 8 babies saved. Approx. 119 pro-lifers cared enough to show up throughout the week’s massacre. 1997 saves since January 2000 and 23 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!

            Zephaniah 3:1-12 “Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled! She obeys no one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord, she does not draw near to her God. Her officials are roaring lions, her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning. Her prophets are arrogant; they are treacherous men. Her priests profane the sanctuary and do violence to the law. The Lord within her is righteous; He does no wrong. Morning by morning He dispenses His justice, and every new day He does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame...

            I have left their streets deserted, with no one passing through. Their cities are destroyed; no one will be left- no one at all. I said to the city, ‘Surely you will fear me and accept correction!’

            …The whole world will be consumed by the fire of My jealous anger.

            …On that day you will not be put to shame for all the wrongs you have done to Me, because I will remove from this city those who rejoice in their pride. Never again will you be haughty on My holy hill. But I will leave within you the meek and humble, who trust in the name of the Lord. The remnant of Israel will do no wrong; they will speak no lies, nor will deceit be found in their mouths. They will eat and lie down and no one will make them afraid.”

            Be encouraged~ Angela
