Death Toll June 2-7, 2008

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 400,000 mother–child relationships in their 34 year reign of terror

 

Monday- Bag n’ Tag 179 babies from the past week’s carnage were bagged and tagged for medical research labs, pharmaceutical and cosmetic firms.

 

Tuesday- midnight abortions 52      OH, MO, IL      1 save    2 pro-lifers   It was the first week of June and the beginning of summer vacation for many, but the weather outside these gates of hell made it feel like the dog days of summer. It was a sizzler as two proclaimers stood in the gap. One of the workers was overheard to say she would be there till at least 11:00 p.m.

            Years ago, we gave the evening abortions the dubious title of “midnight abortions” due to the fact we would be there till midnight witnessing. This is not a safe area after the sun goes down. It’s the ghetto of Granite City .

            Soon after we set up, a young girl from Illinois walked back out and confirmed she did not go through with her abortion, praise God! “Sierra” accepted the literature and thanked us as she drove away. Sweat was pouring down our backs as the sun beat down on us.

            There was a nice surprise when we got back home on our voicemail. A young lady we helped over seven years ago stopped by our Highland office. When she didn’t find us there she left a touching message. “Many years ago, you helped me with a terrible time in my life. Had I not listened and trusted I would not have the beautiful 7 year old joy of my life now, my beautiful daughter. I wanted to thank you and let you know your efforts and hard work do not go unappreciated, and let you know how much you have affected my life by your dedication to life and that God sees it all. I hope that one day I can give back. What you do to others comes back ten-fold. Your work is not in vain…” 

 

Wednesday- 0   Closed 

 

Thursday- 41      MO, IL      1 pro-lifer    Belleville-News Democrat rebuke read: “Back Alley Abortions Cover-up”

 

Friday- 43   D-Day    KY, IA², MO, IL      4 saves      3 pro-lifers    This was a day of infamy: D-Day. It was D-Day as in “death” at the local extermination camp or as the past week’s lesbians referred to it as the baby dump capital in our country. In our history books over 1,400 U.S. soldiers paid the ultimate sacrifice on the sands of Normandy and here in Granite City , the City of Slaughter , over 400,000 have lost their lives on the altars of stainless steel for the sins of their parents to the god of convenience.

            On the battle fields men and some women shed their blood for the freedom and liberation of the oppressed. Outside the killing fields, it’s truly a miracle to get a handful to prayerfully and reverently stand for those scheduled to be killed this day. It was hot, but there was a breeze as we did our reconnaissance mission. Tiffany got out of her car and asked me what I do. We then explained our mission outside this deathcamp. She noticed the picture I hold and we shared the testimony of this saved baby.

            After listening a while, she was moved by our years of dedication to helping mothers with another choice. “I think this is a real good thing you do. I have a three-year-old; I could never do this to him.” I asked her if she had someone in there. “Yes, I tried talking her out of it, but she wouldn’t listen. I couldn’t go in there so I stayed in the car,” she explained. “Your friend is going to still need help afterwards.” I handed her a tract on repentance and healing and told her to be there for her. “And don’t ever bring her again.” Tiffany added, “She knows better.” She thanked me for talking with her and got back in her car with the literature. Her male friend was displaying his slothfulness and mocked the fact that we have 12 children. “I’s had 12 abortions,” he laughed and sat back in the seat as they waited on their friend inside killing her baby.

            Praise God, Andrea, 20 weeks pregnant, came back out and told Daniel she was keeping the baby and accepted the literature. She would contact us if she needed anything. Another couple from Missouri walked back out and told us they didn’t kill, but refused any literature, they were good, and drove off.

            We offered to adopt many of the babies that were being led to their slaughter, but most of our pleas fell on deaf ears. Some stopped to listen, but continued inside. Later that evening, good news on the homefront: another milestone for our newest addition. “Babies are God’s way of saying life should go on...”

 

Saturday- 29      KY, TN, IA, IN², MO, IL      2 saves     8 pro-lifers  As we set up our outreach in this City of Slaughter , it felt like we were standing in an oven. It was hot and humid. Not officially summer yet, but it felt like the dog days. One of the deathscorts noticed the sun bearing down and offered some sun screen. I accepted. Better to be smart. ( Just praying the sunscreen didn’t contain “ricin” or something similar as I rubbed it on all exposed parts.) I thanked her and continued with our reconnaissance mission.

            Many Black Americans were rushing inside to kill. One woman engaged with us and thanked us for trying; she had reluctantly brought her sister who was 5 weeks pregnant and vomiting blood. She knew it was wrong and a sin, but she could not talk her into keeping the baby. Savanah engaged and the woman told her more. The woman warned her sister of the consequences and she would have to deal with them. Savanah shared with her about the lawsuits recently filed and the woman’s interest perked up. She was curious and wanted to see copies. We obliged.

            The deathscorts warned Savanah she was bordering on their property line. I don’t think they wanted the woman to see the lawsuits pending against this chop-shop. We gave them copies and they were shocked. They went inside. We prayed that after reading about the butchered plaintiffs, they would drag their abortion-bound sister out before she became another statistic. They didn’t return during our watch.

            It was sizzling on the hot sidewalk. Two precious babies were spared throughout the morning’s steamy vigil. On our way home we needed a pontoon boat to get around the lagoon’s roads from this slaughterhouse. The rains from the day before still flooded the washboard streets. Prayerfully, the Ultrasound Van’s distributor would stay dry as we slowly waded through the waters.

 

Approx. 165 babies killed. 7 babies saved. Approx. 14 pro-lifers cared enough to show up throughout the week’s massacre. 2775 saves since January 2000 and 26 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!

  

            Many women are strong and find the courage to keep their babies and not abort, but many cannot face this challenge. They feel overwhelmed and consumed with despair over the tough times that may lay ahead and the thought of the f.o.b’s empty promises. They only see a future without compassion and support. The abortion mill focuses in on these red flags and guarantees an innocent baby’s death is the answer to their problems. Unfortunately, many women in society are the head and the bread winner in their household. A lot of fathers have failed at their responsibilities to be the protector and provider. The abortion industry loves men, especially irresponsible ones; they make a lot of money off of them.

            All these women need is a little support, courage, and compassion. Abortion offers a false sense of compassion making it a business with a revolving door, for a price. If your baby could talk to you, he or she would plead mercy, “I know we are in trouble, but please help me. Take my hand and not my life. Your shoulders are strong. I need to learn the lessons that only a father can teach. I want to know how you grew in strength and courage to become a man. Daddy, I need you. You are my hero.”

            It’s okay to ask for help. God works through people. He puts the right people across our paths to use their energies and talents to help others and pick us up when we are struggling. “Choose life this day daddy, you will never regret it. A year from now you will be carrying me on your shoulders, but one day I will be carrying you.”

            Be there to see your child’s first tears, or receiving his or her first gift of thanks for helping bring them into the world. Make an oath to your baby that you will be there as long as they breathe, as long as they need you, you will be there for them. Let each child be your joy, your rock, your foundation, and not a burden. Women need love, not abortion.

            “And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19.
