Death Toll May 26-31, 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 166 babies from the past week’s carnage were bagged and tagged for medical research labs, pharmaceutical and cosmetic firms.

            Memorial Day: a day to honor those heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice through their service to our country, whose blood was shed for others so they may live free. Some Americans forget our veterans and those currently serving in foreign lands and have turned this day to honor their service into an excuse to bar-b-que and get drunk. How many turn out for the Memorial Day parades? Thank God for those who do. When we total up the amount of service men and women who have been killed in wars, it still doesn’t amount to the preborn babies that have been killed in the war on the unborn.

 

Tuesday- midnight abortions approx. 25      VA, MO, IL      1 save      2 pro-lifers   A windy and cool day as we set up the resource van. Minutes into our ministering, a couple from Illinois came back out; they didn’t kill. They got into their silver car and drove off. We prayed they were not going for their money order and they never returned during our watch. Another couple from Missouri came out happy and we offered resources to them. The man smiled and indicated they saved their child.

            A while later, a young mother walked up to us on the sidewalk with a small child at her side. She began sharing her story of how years ago she came to this Hope(less) Clinic and met “Angela”. “She is my hero.” Bonnie then explained to her daughter the graphic abortion signs. “My daughter is a blessing. She would not be here had I gone in there. Thank you for being here and for all you do.”

 

Wednesday- approx. 30      MO, IL      2 saves      3 pro-lifers   What a great day for rescuing babies! As soon as we arrived we set up the resource van and bam! a young mother walked over to us from the clinic entrance. I pointed to the van and she accepted our offer.

            Once inside, we were able to show her a picture of her 24 week old baby boy. She listened to the heartbeats. “They’re fast,” she said. “The baby is probably frightened you would go into the abortion mill.” After helping her with a few baby items, she acknowledged she would follow-up with her regular ob. and thanked us before she left.

            We tidied up and returned to our post and praise the Lord, the car‘s occupants with the “JESUS” bumper sticker walked out and sat in their car. We prayed. Daniel met them at the north entrance. Bill and Teresa rolled down their window. They accepted the literature. They thought hard about it, she was 14 weeks, but they were going to keep the baby. Daniel shared with them how many children we currently have and Bill exclaimed, “Are you crazy?” (laughter). I guess it takes a little crazy to raise that amount of kids, but they were grateful we shared and offered to help them. They would be in contact. Psalms 127.  YAHOO!

            It was disheartening to see yet another car with the bumper sticker “I LOVE MY KIDS WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE HONOR STUDENTS” but this mother didn’t love this kid enough not to kill it. They never came out during our watch. Sad…

            The WMD’s salesman pulled onto the bloody lot with his new sports car and unloaded a cache of artillery to kill babies in the womb with. WMD’s may have not been found in the Iraqi desert, but we sure have more than enough wiping out future little Americans inside these women’s center terrorist deathcamps.

 

Thursday- approx. 45        TN, KS, FL, KY², MO, IL      3 pro-lifers    It was a bad day for late-term babies as many of the mothers killing this day were 2^nd and 3^rd trimesters. It was gut-wrenching to see so many mothers with their bellies protruding through their oversized shirts as they approached the catwalk. We pleaded and pointed out how far along they looked and some unashamedly acknowledged they were advanced in their pregnancies, but, “couldn’t bring this child into the world,” for various reasons. Bottom line: it was selfishness.

            The white couple from Missouri took our brochure, but said they had health issues. “You didn’t have health issues when it came time to make that innocent baby.” They were behaving as though they were under the influence of drugs, etc. Most nowadays are. We see a lot of babies killed because their parents are drug addicts. It’s still no excuse. Besides, most babies are perfectly normal. Laura’s belly was protruding from the big shirt she wore. “You must be over 20 weeks.” “22 weeks,” she responded. “I can’t have this kid.” They finished their smoke and went inside.

            A Hispanic woman and a young girl with an oversized shirt approached the catwalk. “We do free ultrasounds. Can we help you?” “No, thank you.” They laughed as they went inside. Just then, a couple of young girls walked back out and into our arms and they accepted a brochure. They saved their baby! When I shared our baby’s testimony they told me their mother was once a foster mom so they appreciated our offer to adopt or help them. They got into their car and left.

 

Friday- approx. 42      GA, IN, OK, KY, MO, IL      2 saves      5 pro-lifers  As soon as we set up the ultrasound van, a couple of girls from Illinois walked back out and confirmed they were saving their baby.

            It was a hard day as we recognized many of the mothers returning to have the laminaria replaced with new to keep dilating their cervix for their baby’s delivery. How can a mother kill her child two and three days?  Mothers and their accomplices were pouring onto the overflow parking lots. We were able to speak with many. Unfortunately, they didn’t want the responsibility of raising a child.  

            Dominique was beautiful and polite, but when we offered to help her with this pregnancy her demeanor changed. “Oh no, I don’t want a baby.” “I’ll raise your baby,” I offered. She thanked me, but joined the other killer moms standing in line to sign out the death warrants.

 

Saturday-approx. 37     KY, MI, OH, MO, IL      1 save     14 pro-lifers including 9 rosary warriors

            Another horrible sight as we rolled up to the crime scene. Minutes before we got there, the young girl from Kentucky was back for Day 3 of her late-term abortion. She was delivering the baby in her pants in the car. She was needing assistance to get inside. The deathcamp guard went to the car and helped her as she was moaning with every contraction. Her mother and father accompanied her. We first met her and her parents this past Thursday. She was huge. Kentucky will not abort a baby over 14 weeks. Too bad her parents did not teach her sexual abstinence. You don’t have to have sex like barnyard animals. Instead, they taught her how to kill.

            It was so grieving to see many of the late-term mothers returning for Day 3 of their abortion. Some like the Black American from Missouri was cocky and could care less, very cold-hearted. A tree hugger couple pulled onto the bloody parking lot. Their car was emblazed with environmental stickers. Too bad their baby was not a priority. I called over to the mother, “I’ll hug a tree if you hug your baby.” They marched inside.

            It’s hard to save babies with screamers, as I apologized to a couple taking a smoke break for the spectacle, “We’re here to offer you another option.” They acknowledged our efforts. The girl was struggling; she didn’t feel well and it was hot. I called over to them, “Would you like a bottle of water?” She walked over to me and I handed it to her. She thanked me. “If there is anything we can do to help here is a brochure.” She thanked us again and returned to sit and talk with the male who brought her. We prayed for the situation.

            Hours later, the later-term mothers began slowly exiting the slaughterhouse. Some could barely walk. Many would not take the hope and healing literature we offer as they pull onto the street for the long drive home. We tried. Thank you Lord for the babies saved this week and the hearts that were touched.

                                                                                                                     

Approx. 179 babies killed. 6 babies saved. Approx. 27 pro-lifers cared enough to show up throughout the week’s massacre. 2768 saves since January 2000 and 26 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!

  

            Thank you to all who read our weekly streets report and have donated or told someone of our new Life Van campaign we are beginning. In the next few weeks we will have updates letting everyone know how many donations have come in towards the new ultrasound van we are looking to purchase before the old one breaks down again. Hopefully it won’t. We seem to have maintenance problems more in the summer months, especially with the heat. It’s so hard to do ultrasounds and counseling inside a hot van with no air-conditioning.

            This is our 15 years on the streets anniversary week with our ministry. God has been so gracious. Many of the fruits of our labors can be viewed on our website and many testimonies to encourage those that may not be able to stand and witness with us. Know that you can pray and be a financial partner and continue helping us in our work for the born and the unborn. We could not do it without the Lord and your help. Thank you.

            One of the recent saves, “Portia”, reported to us she is so grateful that she met us and has been receiving guidance and help with her other children. Her rent has been paid, utilities are on, groceries have been purchased; she is so full of hope and sees the real love of Jesus working through others, not so much as a handout, but a hand up as we walk with her through her pregnancy. She is even taking summer classes working towards her nursing degree so she has a steady income. Praise the Lord! Her baby boy is due this September. We will keep you updated on the SV baby watch.         This is just one mother that listened and came inside the ultrasound van. There are others, but we need your help and support to keep doing God’s work for the Kingdom and saving lives, one at a time.

            Again, thank you in advance for your generous consideration in supporting this vital ministry.
