Death Toll July 2-7, 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 172 murdered babies for medical research, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic firms from past week’s carnage.

Tuesday- CLOSED   Praise the Lord! It’s the first Tuesday where no babies have been killed in Granite City for a while now. Usually 40-45 babies are butchered behind these purple doors this day.

Wednesday- CLOSED   Independence Day   Our day began early as we and friends awoke early to blacktop the restaurant’s parking lot before it got too hot this day. We remembered our nation’s 231^st birthday. The day was celebrated with the traditional picnics and barbeques.

            It wouldn’t be the 4^th of July without the threat of thunderstorms. God is good! He provided a window of dry time so we could enjoy the fireworks. Beautiful prisms of color and the smell of sulfur filled the night skies. The “ooohs” and “aahhs” could be heard as another firework exploded. Thank you God for our freedoms and those that serve our country now and for those who paid the ultimate price.  

Thursday- 43      OR, IN, KY, TX, MO, IL      6 saves      7 pro-lifers   Back to work! Hope abortion mill was not about to sit on their laurels; there was money to be made. It was boiling hot as the humidity and high temperatures were bearing down on us as we made our rounds outside this deathcamp.

            The City of Slaughter ’s beautification campaign was in full swing as they were paving the bloody washboard roadway which leads to this slaughterhouse. This baby-dumping mill attracts revenue from all 49 states and the city fathers want to ensure a smooth ride for the customers visiting this “abominable” attraction. As we stood on the front sidewalk pleading mercy for the innocents, the asphalt was being poured out and pressed out. It was sizzling the back of our legs and our backs were burning from the heat. I can’t imagine what hell feels like, but this was close. Sweat poured off us, but the fruit of our labors was being shown.

            An older couple talked with us; they were in their upper forties and decided to keep their third child. Their other children were grown. We told them, “This is a blessing! Remember Abraham and Sarah.” They laughed, accepted our literature, thanked us, and drove off.

            A young couple from Illinois came out and told us they were 8 weeks pregnant and were keeping their baby and drove off the lot.

            Just then, something unbelievable happened. “Diamond”, 14 years old and 15 weeks pregnant, walked into our arms crying and terrified. We tried to calm her down and ask good questions. She began sharing how she wanted this baby but was being forced to kill because the baby’s father was an older man and currently incarcerated. “That’s statutory rape.”

            Just then, her mother and Debra Knox-Diederman appeared around the corner and I couldn’t believe it, but Debra grabbed the pregnant girl and put her in a headlock and began pulling her inside. Her mother stood there watching and we yelled for her to not let Debra treat her daughter that way, “That’s your child she is forcing back inside.” Then the mother began screaming at the abortion mill employee. Debra yelled at the girl, “I just don’t want you by the protestors.” “Yeah, I guess not. She doesn’t want any witnesses,” we said. The girl was begging her to stop. I then yelled to Daniel, “Call the police!”         

            Debra managed to take them aside by the front door and fill their heads. We were offering to take this girl in and help her. A few minutes later they walked to their car. The girl took our literature and I whispered in her ear, “Don’t believe the lies of the abortion clinic. We can help you,” and I gave her our number. We prayed the police would show up but they didn’t. We have played this unfortunate situation out many times in our 14 year history. The local law enforcement drags their feet in responding to our calls for help or assistance in reporting a crime.

            A local couple stopped by and shared a horrible experience they endured at the hands of this local abortionist years ago. She went for a gynecological exam. She was 46 years old and her husband was 60 years old. She suspected she was pregnant. Yogendra Shah asked her how old she was and how many children she had. “Four,” she answered. Yogendra then said, “Well, you don’t need any kids.”

            What happened next was absolutely unbelievable. After examining her, he told her she was pregnant. As she lay there, Yogendra punched her in the stomach twice. She screamed so loud her husband could hear her in the waiting area. He just didn’t know how to get to her. Two days later she awoke and went to the bathroom where she delivered her dead baby in the toilet. She stated she, “was scared and didn’t get a lawyer,” because she thought you’re not supposed to sue a brother or sister. “He is not a Christian,” we told her. We have heard similar stories of this serial killer’s compassionate bedside manner when it comes to unborn children.

            The Small Victories team who stayed behind reported “ Tanis ”, mother of five already, whom we talked to before she went inside the slaughterhouse, came back out and told them she was keeping baby # 6. Linda gave her a brochure with our resources and she let her know she would be contacting us.

Friday- 42      OK, FL, MO, IL      5 saves      5 pro-lifers    It was another “hotter than Hades” day on that sidewalk surrounding this slaughterhouse. We began our reconnaissance mission shortly after our arrival. Bruce told us of an early save he confirmed with before we arrived.

            Early on hearts were being changed. Lauren and Angel walked back out with a look of desperation on their faces. They walked right into our arms after we asked them if we could help them. I signaled for Daniel to crank up the ultrasound van. We prayed after the most recent repairs it would with stand this torrid heat and kick on. I told them to wait in their car as we set up.

            AMEN!  You could hear the puttering…like a dog with its tongue hanging out. The van generator kicked in and we walked them inside. I apologized for the heat inside the van, “But, it’s the best we can do in these conditions.” They didn’t seem to mind. I noticed the beads of sweat on her forehead. I placed the scanner on her protruding tummy. “There’s your baby!” She peered over and smiled. “Would you like to know what your having?” “Yes,” she answered. We poked around and did some measurements. It appeared to be a 19.2 week old little boy. As we went over further instructions, we walked them to their car. Lauren turned to me and thanked us and said, “I’m glad you’re here.” Praise God!

            A man in a mini-van dropped off some bottles of water to help quench our parched throats. It didn’t take long before our clothing was drenched with perspiration.

            An angry woman named “ Sandy ” who brought a girl to kill her baby, was waiting in her mini-van. I could tell she was seeking shelter in the shade. Her van was without air-conditioning, and the small children were getting hot. I pointed to the other side of the mill where there was shade.
”Oh no!” She then explained what had happened earlier. She took our literature and talked for a few more minutes then pulled onto the parking lot and sat in the sun waiting it out.

            Two young girls began walking inside then noticed the van and began walking towards me. They needed help. The one girl named Ashley said, “I remember you. You helped me a couple years ago.” We prayed again that the ultrasound van would kick on. Praise God! The motor began puttering once again. This was Angel’s first pregnancy; Andy the father was anxious. I placed the scanner on her abdomen and began taking a history. Soon a little 8 week old baby began auditioning. “Oh my God!” Andy exclaimed. “There is your baby!” Angel began crying tears of joy. “Is he okay?” she asked. “So far everything appears good.” I inquired if she had a doctor and we set up an appointment with our resident obstetricians who work with us and confirm our preliminary findings.

            The baby body parts courier arrived. We noticed her “bump” as the deathcamp guard held the door for her while she carried boxes of mutilated babies and placed them in her car and took off.

Saturday- 44      IN², MO, IL      3 saves      17 pro-lifers including 5 rosary warriors      The day began early as we received word a baby was about to make its debut. It was 3:40 a.m. Babies don’t have clocks. We left standing orders for the rest of the ministry team as we packed up and in true “Dagwood Bumstead” fashion ran to the car and headed onto the highway for the hospital. We had a drive ahead of us and planned on beating this baby’s entrance. We did our best to stick to the posted speed limit, but in between the prayers for a safe delivery, we rehearsed various excuses if law enforcement dared to pull us over. For once, we had a good excuse!

            After getting lost in this unfamiliarly large hospital, we found the right tower and rushed to the floor where we were informed to, “Gown up, it’s show time!” After six good pushes, baby “Joseph” entered our world weighing 8 lbs. 6 ounces 20 ½ in. long. Beautiful strawberry blond hair and acapella lungs. Thank you God for this little miracle!

            Meanwhile, down in the City of Slaughter on the frontlines, God blessed us with three precious babies’ lives being spared. A young couple from Illinois came back out of the abortion clinic. Ken rushed over to them and offered a Small Victories brochure. They accepted it and confirmed with us that they saved their baby, Praise God!

            Not long after, a mother and daughter from Missouri walked back out. We asked the daughter if she saved her baby. She gave a big smile and said, “Yes!” They were happy as they got in their car and drove off.

            Another man and woman from Missouri came back out of the clinic. As they were pulling out of the abortion mill lot, they informed us that they did not get an abortion and were keeping their baby.

            What a beautiful week for life. You will know a tree by its fruits. This week we saw much fruit, even with the long days, torrid heat, and the disabled ultrasound van, God brought us through. By His grace hearts were touched, lives were saved and brought into the world. 

Approx. 129 babies killed. 14 babies saved. Approx. 29 pro-lifers cared enough to show up throughout the week’s massacre. 2352 saves since January 2000 and 23 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!

            These are treacherous days. We are living in perilous times. 2 Timothy: 3 days. Suddenly scriptures are making sense. You must remember we are at war on the frontlines of this battle. The enemy is always trying to pull everyone else to do to you what he is doing to you. The devil creates a kind of force field, a gravitational pull around you that draws everyone else to the plot without their even knowing it. 1 John 3:10 “This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of devil are: Anyone who do not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.” Keep a watchful eye for it and resist it. Do not get sucked into the pull. Resist the enemy and he will flee.

            You’ve heard the saying, “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.”

            It works like this: hyenas cannot bring down a lion in its prime. What they do is run it and taunt it and wear it down to the point of exhaustion. Once they see it cannot defend itself, then they close in for the kill. Psalm 102:8 “All day long my enemies taunt me. Those who rail against me use my name as a curse.” 

            When we’re going through fiery trials, this is the time to glorify the Lord. Our Lord is much, much greater than anything that will ever come against us.

            Mark 11:22-25 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

            The young Marines who landed on Iwo Jima were forced to drive out the Japanese inch by inch, battling an enemy they could not see while being exposed to every sort of weapons fire form every possible direction. Some survivors reported that they never saw one living Japanese soldier in all those days of combat.Sounds like a spiritual battle. It took 36 days and cost nearly 7,000 American lives.

            We are at war and war is hell.

            If we think we can do anything for God without opposition, we are wrong. Jesus warned us that in this life we will have tribulation (John 16:33). He said that if people hated and persecuted Him, they will also hate and persecute us, because we belong to Him (John 15:18, 20).

            We must remember that the devil is not going to just sit back and allow us to take new ground without putting up a fight. Any time we begin to make progress in building the kingdom of God , our enemy will come against us. The enemy wants what you have, but they are not willing to go through what you did to get where you're at.

            We are at war. This is the beginning of the end. The hour is late and you are needed.

            Psalm 108:12-13 “Give us aid against the enemy for the help of man is worthless. With God we will gain the victory and trample down our enemies.”
