Death Toll January 29- February 3, 2007

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 375,268 mother –child relationships in their 33 year reign of terror

Monday- Bag n’ Tag 196 murdered babies for medical research, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic firms from past week’s carnage.

Tuesday- midnight abortions 46      AK, IN³, MO, IL      3 saves      5 pro-lifers   After wrapping up the radio program we layered up our clothing and headed over the Mississippi River to the City of Slaughter.

We were met with 30 mile an hour winds and frigid temps which cut through our clothes. It was 4 degrees above zero. The sun was setting behind the slaughter house. As soon as our feet hit the pavement we went into lifesaving measures as moms and dads were pouring into the bloody parking lot. Unfortunately the bitter weather didn’t slow down the genocide that was underway behind the purple doors. Any exposed flesh was burning from the winds.

We tried our best to articulate offers of free help and options other than abortion. Many mothers stopped to listen. Maybe they felt sorry for us misfits standing in these extreme conditions, but throughout our brief stand three mothers chose to keep their babies.

One was a black-American couple from Illinois 13 weeks along. They thanked us. She was crying and they accepted our literature and drove away. An older man and thirty-ish looking woman visibly pregnant walked into our arms. She took our Small Victories brochure and informed us she was 24 weeks along. She also told us her doctorback in Arkansas said it was a boy.

They sat in their car still unsure, and I asked Rick to stand in front of them with the baby Malachi picture to give them an idea of how big their baby was and what their baby would look like if they went through with the abortion. They kept talking for a while so we began praying for God to intervene and "bind up the spirit of murder and to place this couple back on the highway home and to fill them with peace for saving their child, and to meet their needs and bless them abundantly in Jesus’ Name." We looked up and they started the engine and waved at us and drove away. They never returned during our watch.

Another girl walking towards the alley stopped and talked with us. She took our literature and decided against the abortion and got back in her car and drove away. We dismissed the troops early. Even hospital employees were commenting on our endurance, “How can you stand out here in this weather?” “Babies are dying,” we answered. “We are their voice...God has called us.”

We were so cold, we couldn’t even remember the long drive home.

Wednesday- 7      MO, IL    1 pro-lifer   Uneventful killing day, most from the day before

Thursday- 56      IN³, IA, TX, MO, IL      1 save      4 pro-lifers   First day of Black History Month and the black American community was celebrating in exuberant fashion as many, many black mothers walked and ran to get inside this extermination center and rid their wombs of their innocent babies that they have enslaved. Nowadays, a black woman’s womb has become a tomb to their future generations. Over 13 million black American babies have been murdered since 1973.

Nine out of ten mothers going inside today were black-American. Our pleas for justice and mercy fell upon deaf ears. Various excuses were hurled at lifesavers. Many of the mothers and their accomplices just didn’t want to be bothered with another baby as “two or three children was enough” for them. “Your’s was the choice whether or not to have sex, NOT to kill the innocent product of that choice.” These mothers were there to get “cleaned out”. Their hearts were calloused and as cold as the weather. "My body, my rights, my choice...I gots to have my sex..ME..me…me"…the mantra outside this death mill.

Jess took advantage of the snow that blanketed the walkways and inscribed messages of love with his walking cane. The KKK would be happy to see such a sight outside this deathcamp. What a start to Black History month.  

Friday- 50      KY, IN, WI, MS, MO, IL      4 saves      5 pro-lifers   The sun was out, but it was dangerously cold and the winds were whipping up and making it hard to hold a sign. Once again, we bundled up our clothing in layers to survive on our watch outside this deathcamp.

I met a black-American woman in death-alley; she had been crying. I took off my seven dollar wool coat I bought at Goodwill and offered to wrap it around her to help block the cold winds as I began talking with her. She was trying to find her driver. He had parked elsewhere. We walked to the back of the building; she began telling me it wasn’t her, she had brought her daughter to kill her second baby, and she felt bad. While she waited inside she knew it was wrong. She kept thinking of the grandbaby waiting at home for her.

Just then her daughter appeared. Jessica was 17 weeks pregnant. I then told them both, “The one in her womb is no different than the one at home. They are both precious.” They began looking over our brochure and asked if they could call me and discuss their needs because it was so cold. “Absolutely,” I said and we found their car with the driver on the next lot. They thanked us and left.

I was walking back to the entrance of the mill when another couple walked back out. “May we help you today?” I offered. She looked up and smiled, “No thanks,” and kept walking. “Did you save your baby?” “Yes,” she said. “Did you get to see it?” “No, they wouldn’t let me. All they wanted was money.” “Would you like to see?” I then pointed to the Womb Service van. She smiled. “Give me five minutes to set it up and you two wait in your warm car.” I ran over and we set up the freezing ultrasound van. “There’s no heat,” Daniel frantically responded. “It’s okay, we have blankets, it’ll be okay.”

Devany and Chuck then came inside and watched their 26 week old baby boy auditioning for his life on the ultrasound screen. We wrapped her in blankets to keep warm. Her husband was amazed to see his son for the first time. “It’s a boy!” we determined. She began crying tears of joy. “Why did you come here to kill?” She offered, “We already have two girls, 5 years old and 13 years old at home.” “If you went through with the abortion, you would of murdered your only son. Thank God you came back out.” She sat up and began hugging and thanking us for being there to help them. They were both Christians and college graduates. We noticed the Jesus fish pin on their van as we walked them to their vehicle for the long drive back home. One final hug and they promised to keep in touch.

Saturday- 51      AK, KY, AR, MO, IL      4 saves      10 pro-lifers           Dangerously cold and 30-40 mile an hour winds outside these gates of hell greeted us. We were few in numbers. We began in prayer and quickly set up praise and worship music to drown out the screaming man who was bringing girls to tears with the condemnation and specifically asking them “how many times do they have sex a day?” “This man is not a Christian. We apologize for his behavior. May we please help you?”

One girl came out of line and she was crying. Her name was Amber. She walked into our arms; it was freezing. She couldn’t believe how ugly this man was to the people going inside. “This is very emotional for us. How can he talk to us like that?” “It’s okay, he’s mentally unstable. That’s why we are here, to love on you.” She then came closer. Her mother then joined us. She was 21 weeks pregnant and already had an 18 month old. After some quick counseling and hugs, they got back into their car and promised to phone us later for an ultrasound and follow-up to set up her prenatal care.

Again, another girl got out of line and came over. Tiffany and her boyfriend talked with us. “That man is talking to us like a dog.” “Just ignore him. Can we help you?”I said “Yes,” she said, “I’m gonna need help.” She accepted our literature and they thanked us and they drove off in their car.

We struggled to keep our flesh covered from the biting cold winds. We followed a couple of girls to their car. “We changed our minds, we’re leaving. It’s okay, I’ve got a doctor,” the passenger said. They drove away. Praise God!

A family of three came back out and Mia talked with them. They were happy and accepted a Small Victories brochure and gave us a thumbs up and drove off the bloody parking lot.

The deathscorts didn’t last long even with donuts and coffee. They packed up and left after 30 minutes. We were the "frozen chozen "this day. It warmed our hearts to see the lives saved this day with all the distractions and stumbling blocks we overcame this day. It was truly a struggle of good vs evil and life and death.

Fr. Gene and the seminarians braved the elements and stood shivering and praying for the babies. “God bless you for your courageous stand and your faithfulness.” “God bless you,” they replied. “You’re out here everyday.” “Not me, it’s the Lord. He just uses me.”    

Approx. 210 babies killed. 12 babies saved. Approx. 25 pro-lifers cared enough to show up throughout the week’s massacre. 2129 saves since January 2000 and 23 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!

Something unimaginable has been happening for over 30 years now and eerily, the same atrocities are an unimaginable blight from our history. A woman has a schizophrenic right to kill another person as long as it’s in her womb at any time of the pregnancy and yet if that same person were out of her womb, she would be in prison or something worse to answer for her crime of murder.

In the book of Isaiah, it speaks of sins being like scarlet in chapter 1 verse 18 &15. It is referring to the blood guilt that comes upon a society where shedding innocent blood is tolerated. And that includes direct involvement or community blood guilt by those in the community that permit it.  Isaiah 1 “Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the Lord has spoken: I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me…Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him.

            Today innocent blood is flowing freely and there’s not enough fingers to shore up the broken dike. Over 50 million slaughtered babies and no end in sight. A day doesn’t go by outside the slaughterhouse in Granite City,Illinois as we watch in horror another Christian couple going inside to murder their covenant babies. This should tell you something about most churches ,nowadays.. God is not listening to the great praise music sung by those congregations or those great mountain top experiences. Over 70% of all abortions are performed on women who regularly attend church.   …Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire, your fields are being stripped by foreigners…Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom ; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah ! ‘The multitude of your sacrifices- what are they to me?’ says the Lord. ‘I have more than enough of burnt offerings…

            …When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, learn to do right! Seek justice, encouraged the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow…Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool…’

            It is absolutely necessary for the shepherds to take a stand openly against this heinous crime. It is the Church’s personal responsibility to rebuke the slayer, for in the image of God did God create man. God hates hands that shed innocent blood. Proverbs 6:16-19

            The greatest disappointment in God’s eyes is that His Church, the people who say they love Him, have permitted this to go on without as much as even lifting a finger to stop it. Abortion could end tomorrow, only if the Church says it will end.

            As the number of Christians diminishes from in front of the abortion mills of America , the courage of those that remain grows each day. They become even more aggressive in their pursuit to save life. They are relentless in telling the women about the horrors of abortion that will kill the life of their child and destroy their own life in the process.

            These warriors are there in the rain, in the extreme cold or intense heat, in snow, severe thunderstorms, and all other types of weather. They are insulted, cursed at, have things thrown at them, and their lives are threatened most days, yet they continue to try to save the children.

            They are not great theologians or pastors. They are simply moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, and single people who really love Jesus and His children. The put their lives on the line day after day, just to save one little boy or girl. These fearless people are true Christian heroes, and their names or feats will never gain fame on this earth. Everything they do will be recorded in heaven.~Pastor Ed Martin

            It is this steadfastness, this courage, this great love that will bring abortion to its knees. The demonic force called abortion will only crumble to the faith of God’s children. The devil cannot stand up to the courage of sold-out Christians. In the end the devil is defeated by the Blood of the Lamb, the Testimony of the saints, and their willingness to give their life up for the faith. That is why he will try to push us off the streets and drive us back into our churches. The Bible tells us that narrow is the gate to heaven and broad is the path to destruction. Today’s theology tells us that broad is the gate to heaven and there is no eternal damnation. I believe I will take the words of Jesus over the words of today’s pastors. 

                                 …See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her- but now murderers! You silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water. Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all of your impurities. I will restore your judges as in days of old, your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness , the faithful City.”
