Death Toll March 17-22, 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 194 babies from the past week’s carnage were bagged and tagged for medical research labs, pharmaceutical and cosmetic firms.

 

Tuesday- approx 15      MN, MO, IL      1 save      2 pro-lifers   In a cold and steady downpour of rain we stood for the least of these. Killing numbers were unusually down this day and the beginning of Holy Week of the Christian calendar.

            Butcherettes were constantly coming out to the new smoking lounge to calm their nerves by sucking on their cancer sticks. With the new year came a new law in Illinois : they banned smoking in buildings. I was so tempted to ask them, “How will you spend eternity? Smoking or non-smoking?”

            We were able to converse with 10 or more mothers and their accomplices as they contemplated their innocent’s child’s life. Thank God for one couple that heeded God’s word and came back out, confirmed they had saved their baby, and thanked us for helping them.

 

Wednesday- approx 38      IN, IA, TX, IN², MO, IL      1 save      3 pro-lifers   The latest botched abortion from Hope(less) was re-hospitalized for further treatment due to the complications she suffered at the hands of the butchers who continue practicing back alley abortions. We spent most of the day at the hospital. A small remnant of our ministry stood in the gap. It was a brisk, bloody day.

            It was Easter break; a lot of young kids were hanging out at the abortion mill like they hang out at the shopping malls. It is so sickening to see their nonchalant attitude towards killing another person smaller than them. Is it any wonder why kids are killing kids in our nation?

            There was one save during our watch. They accepted our brochure and left this crime scene.   

 

Holy Thursday- approx 51      IA², TX, MO, IL      2 saves      3 pro-lifers     Good Lord! It was a “brown bag” special underway as mothers were flocking to the entrance of this slaughterhouse.

            The garage doors opened wide and we watched the Luby generator service company van attempt to get inside to check and test this killing machine’s generators. The technician inquired if I work inside. I told him, “We’re outside trying to save them.” His demeanor changed. He turned and began walking back inside. We couldn’t help but notice the new recovery area including a blood-stained lounger…nice. We wondered if this was part of the special services package they offer to kill your baby.

            A Granite City pastor’s wife was walking by and looked over at this slaughterhouse and said, “This is a horrible place.” We agreed with her. She asked if we were “the ministry that has been out here everyday for years…” “Yes, we are.” She then started tearing up and asked if she could give us a hug. She felt so bad that they aren’t doing more, “But we do pray that God will close this place.” We told her of the recent botched abortion and other crimes that are being committed inside this abortion mill. She was appalled. “Why isn’t that on the evening news?” she asked.

            Just then, a young mother we have been working with stopped by and shared her testimony with this pastor’s wife; she was touched and hopefully moved to go home and, “Sow that seed and bring your pastor and the church back.” We all three bowed our heads and began praying. She thanked us again for our ministry and left. The mother we are helping gathered some supplies and left.     

 

Good Friday- approx 37      IA², MS, IN², AL, KY, MO,      3 saves   77 pro-lifers including approx 65 youth group and 7 leaders, 1 seminarian  

            God is so GOOD and always on time! Just as we arrived and began setting up our resource van, the bus and vehicles arrived with youth group warriors and their leaders. Mothers who were premeditatedly going to murder their innocent babies too began filling up the front lot. We gave a short introduction of this killing field and its history and our mission outside these gates of hell in Granite City . We prayed, we talked, and we pleaded for the pregnant mothers not to go inside and crucify their babies. We reminded them of Jesus and His crucifixion on this day 2000 years ago. Most didn’t care. Most of them just spewed foul language at the sidewalk counselors. Absolute selfishness, it’s all about them and their comfort. Instead of sacrificing their children for their comfort, they should be laying their lives down for their children. We kept the course.

            As God would have it, He surprised us with the young woman who suffered a botched abortion. She gave her powerful testimony to these kids in the hopes that they never do what she did and endure what she has had to go through. She is truly a walking miracle. She almost bled to death. She was full of rotting fetal parts. It was horrible. The kids were so focused on her; some were crying. They were so touched by her testimony of the effects of having an abortion and how dangerous it is. We prayed for her and thanked her for stopping by to share her story. The kids presented our ministry with ho-made fleece baby blankets to give the mothers we are helping PTL!

            Throughout the solemn morning, three precious babies were spared a crucifixion. One mother and daughter came back out and the girl was crying. She couldn’t go through with the abortion. Her mother was upset and screamed at us to stay away from her.

            Another couple pulled away and they rolled down their window and confirmed they saved. The male said they were good but they didn’t need any help right now, and thanked us and drove off. They never returned. 

 

Holy Saturday- approx 30      FL, IA, IN, VA, MO, IL      2 saves    12 pro-lifers including rosary group     A small remnant stood as the watchmen on the wall in the cold, dreary morning. Very early on, the Lord was touching hearts as a young couple from Illinois ran back out and into sidewalk counselor Ken, took a brochure, and confirmed they were saving their baby. PTL!

            Granite City ’s Jack-the Ripper stuck his head out to greet the deathscorts. “We need more blood...umm I mean revenue,” he was overheard to say and returned back inside the slaughterhouse. The deathscorts then began seeking out more tiny victims, but our Lord trumped their plans and BAM! another couple from Missouri , Black American, came back out and told us they changed their minds and were keeping their baby. PTL!

            It was disheartening to see the couple from Iowa was back; this was day 3. This was a very late-term baby that could survive outside the womb if born…so sad at this holy time of year. All week we questioned the mothers and their accomplices on sacrificing their children for their own selfish desires. “We should be laying our lives down for our children, not taking their lives for ourselves.” We reminded them of the ultimate sacrifice God’s Son gave to us. He paid the price in full. He has risen! ALLELUIA!

 

Approx. 171 babies killed. 9 babies saved. Approx. 97 pro-lifers cared enough to show up throughout the week’s massacre. 2677 saves since January 2000 and 26 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!

 

          Do you remember the Stations of the Cross where the walk of Jesus unfolded on the road to Calvary ? The unborn child too is condemned to death because of a law. It is not God’s law, but it is man’s law. “On the basis of this law my parents and the abortionist believe they are allowed to kill me. They wash their hands in innocence as if one could wash off guilt with water and disregard God’s law. They sentence me to a physical death, but will they save themselves from eternal death?”

            The 2^nd station is where Jesus took up his cross. The unborn child too must take up their cross. Their only guilt is that they are unwanted.

            The 3^rd station is where Jesus falls for the first time. His cross is a burden and becoming too heavy. Unborn children are the weakest in society. They cannot defend themselves.

            On the road to Calvary the 4^th station is where Jesus met His mother. For the unborn child, they don’t have a mother who cries over them. These babies are entombed in a woman’s womb who allows them to be destroyed. “They can scrape me from my mother’s womb, but can they scrape me from her mind?”

            The 5^th station was where Simon helped Jesus carry His cross. For the innocent unborn child is there any willing person out there pleading and taking up his cross?

            The 6^th station was where Veronica wiped the face of Jesus. She took off her veil and wiped the dirt and blood off His face. It was a selfless act. For the unborn child there are so many selfless rescuers out there. “Why must I have such a heartless woman as my mother who only thinks of her selfish desires and her comfort?”

             The 7^th station- Jesus falls for the second time. Once again the wounds on His body break open and bleed. Pain racks His body. For the unborn child his tiny body is twisted and racked with pain as the instruments used to kill him invade the sacredness of his mother’s womb. 

            Jesus met the mourning women at the 8^th station. “Do not weep for me. Rather weep for yourselves and your children,” Jesus said. The unborn child: “No tears are shed for me. Or are they? When my mother first knew of me she cried, but they were tears of rage because she didn’t want me. My death will cause her no pain at all. They will give her pain medicine so she doesn’t feel the pain when I am put to death.”

            The 9^th station: Jesus falls a 3^rd time. With whips and clubs Jesus is forced to rise again under the burden of his heavy cross. The unborn child: “They don’t have to hit me with tongs and forceps, but they will consider me as worthless as you Jesus. Their only concern is to get rid of me.”

            Jesus is stripped of his clothing at the 10^th station. Naked and exposed, Jesus atoned for the shamelessness of mankind. The unborn child: “Shame played no role when I began to exist, but now that I am to be born, my parents are ashamed of me. My parents can’t accommodate a 3^rd or 4^th child.”

            Jesus is nailed to the cross at the 11^th station. Being nailed to the cross is torture, the most humiliating punishment. Where hate is the greatest, Your love is most powerful. Through Your death Jesus, You opened the gate of heaven for all mankind. The unborn child’s death needed no cross and no nails. “A conscienceless person will be my executioner. I will be cut up into pieces and they will only be concerned lest they miss a piece, (but not Hope Clinic. Read: “ Granite City ’s Little House of Horrors.” www.smallvictoriesusa.com)   

              Jesus dies on the cross at the 12^th station. “Forgive them because they know not what they are doing,” Luke 23:43. The unborn child: It’s difficult for me to think and pray like the good thief that was crucified with Christ. He said, ‘Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.’ Jesus told him, ‘Today you will be with me in paradise.’ Lord Jesus, please forgive the abortionist who destroys me. Forgive my mother and father who want my death.”

            The13th station- Jesus is taken off His cross and laid in his mother’s lap. Once as a child He rested there and now His mother shows a final act of love. The unborn child: “The final manifestation of love is not granted to me but I can say the words that the Holy Scriptures do, ‘To all who pass by here, see if there is a sorrow as great as mine.’”

            Jesus is laid to rest in the tomb, the 14^th station. You do not have Your own grave Jesus. They have to lay You in a tomb not Your own. However, this tomb is not to be your final resting place. You rose from this grave. For the unborn child his grave will be a garbage dump or maybe an incinerator or in Granite City a sewer. His or her soul will live on. “On judgment day my parents must admit that they killed their own flesh and blood.”

            This precious child and many millions of innocent unborn children of God have had to undergo a terrifying and barbaric death here on earth. Let us pray for God to show mercy on that final day. May the same mercy that we pleaded for these unborn babies be seared into the minds of their parents. May those voices that pleaded for the lives of their babies outside those abortion mills be remembered and echoed in their ears.
