Death Toll September 22-27, 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 approx 151 babies from the past week’s carnage were bagged and tagged for medical research labs, pharmaceutical and cosmetic firms. 

 

Tuesday- midnight abortions approx 25      AR, MO, IL      1 save      1 pro-lifer    Tyeshia and her friend from Missouri came back out and talked with Daniel. They were 6 weeks pregnant and changed their mind on the abortion. They looked at the graphic sign and said they, “could not do that to a baby.”         

            Many of the mothers looked advanced in their pregnancies. It was disheartening to see older mothers bringing their daughters to abort their grandchild. On the homefront, we were busy returning several calls for help from mothers who saved their babies at the Hope(less) mill over the weekend. We took an inventory of their needs and strategized over the phone. Many of the mothers were from East St. Louis . There is such a need for help in that area.

            We were thanking God for the precious babies that are being spared in the Black American community. One day, hopefully before their race is entirely wiped out from the combination of aids, health disease, violence, drugs and abortion, the community leaders and pastors will wake up and reclaim what the devil has stolen from the Black family.

 

Wednesday- approx 7      MO, IL      3 pro-lifers     “40 Days for Life” begins   We packed up our resource van and headed out to the City of Slaughter . We were looking forward to joining ranks with those dedicated lifesavers who were assembling all across our nation to begin the fall campaign of this 40 Days for Life, a peaceful and prayerful stand outside abortion mills, hopefully to saves lives, change hearts, and to bring the Preborn Holocaust to an end in our land.

            Our anticipation was quickly dashed when we realized the 40 Days was a bust. The same pro-lifers that have stood for over 15 years outside this mill on a daily basis retained their distinguished title of “Semper Fi” (always faithful) and always the only ones showing up for the battle.

            A few mothers from the evening before returned to complete the grisly procedure of removing their late-term babies from their wombs. We picked up our proclaiming line and went across the river to another mill, Planned Barrenhood on Forest Park and Boyle. To no surprise, there was only one pro-lifer standing in the gap. He updated us on the daily massacre of innocents. “It gets pretty lonely standing by myself,” Bill, a Vietnam veteran, informed us. The only time he has some company is on Saturdays when the Catholic rosary group shows up. “That’s unfortunate, but you’re in good company. We too, are low on prayer warriors outside the mill Bill. It is basically our family who stands in Granite City ,” we told him. Bill said he enjoys the quietness, no screamers. “It’s hard to save babies when people scream at them.” We agreed.

            After we got back home we contacted the director of 40 Days and they informed us the Springfield Diocese in Illinois had not registered for the campaign evidently. We thanked Mr. Bereit’s assistant and let her know, “We are still going forth with or without the diocese. If any group shows up we will still be there.” She thanked us and our ministry’s dedication.

 

Thursday- approx 30      TX, MO, IL      5 saves   on-site ultrasound     6 pro-lifers  1 priest 

            Day 2 of 40 Days for Life   It was a great day for Life as we set up the ultrasound outreach to the abortion-bound mothers going inside. We began our reconnaissance mission while a priest and woman walked the sidewalk and prayed.

            We intercepted Holly and J.R. from Illinois . She was 5 weeks pregnant. She accepted our brochure and thanked us. She would be needing help. We walked them to their car and watched them drive off. Jess informed us a mother and daughter confirmed they did not kill their baby and left the abortion mill before our team arrived.

            Just then, we met Denise in the alley. The priest came over and we talked with the girl. A few minutes later, she came inside the ultrasound van where we were able to show her a picture of her baby girl auditioning for her life. She appeared to be approx. 24 weeks pregnant. We went over resources, contact information, and follow-up care with her doctor. She was very grateful and thanked us all.

            Cheryl from Illinois pulled up to the parking lot and listened to our pleas, then walked over to us and told us her friend was 20 weeks pregnant. She took our literature, walked over to the passenger, and gave it to her. They talked awhile and then she walked over to us and said they would be contacting us for help. They were not going to go inside the abortion mill, praise God! They thanked us for being there and we watched them drive off the lot.

            Cherise, 8 weeks from Missouri , walked back out and walked over to us. She accepted a brochure, told us she was keeping her baby, and drove off the parking lot.

            The saints who showed up this day were very encouraged to see how lives are saved. They promised they would be back and bring more to witness. Thank you Holy Spirit!

 

Friday- approx 28      IN, TN, MO, IL      2 saves      2 pro-lifers   We rolled up to the crime scene and a few spots were still open on the bloody parking lot. As soon as the pregnancy outreach was set up, we stood strategically around the deathcamp. There was only an occasional outburst from the troublemakers, but we were having better opportunities to walk and talk with the girls as they parked their cars to go inside.

            Ashley and her friend walked back out and told us they were 6 weeks pregnant. We offered to show them an ultrasound and they declined, but said they were keeping the baby and accepted our literature before they pulled off the lot. They were college students from UMSL over in St. Louis .

            A young girl and friend from Illinois walked into our arms and began telling us they were not going to kill their 8 week old baby. We walked them to their truck and they drove off towards the interstate. Praise God!

            The LUBY generator maintenance service van waited in the alley while Deb Weidhardt, the new CEO of Hope(less), slowly lifted the garage door for him to drive in. The huge generator inside the garage of this slaughterhouse is necessary as power back-up during power outages or storms. It’s hard to kill babies and run suction machines without power, unless the workers inside this slaughterhouse use their bare hands. Nothing would shock us anymore.

            Another JESUS bumper sticker was sighted up against the front sidewalk for all to see. This flies in the face of God. A while later, a Black American woman walked out and sat in the car listening to “rap-crap” music blaring in her vehicle with the JESUS sticker on it. We attempted to speak with her, but she did her best to brush off our efforts and exhibit more rebellion against the Lord by showing us her butterfly tattoo across her backside as she bent over at tone point while getting out of the car, only to return back inside the slaughterhouse.

            Maybe she put the sticker on her car in an attempt to detour car thieves, because a woman of virtue does not mock God and His WORD. She is not vulgar and doesn’t cause a man to sin or show too much skin. She does not mark up her body and she does not hang out at the local abortion mill. I think the car theft theory applies in this situation.: ) 

            On our way home we were passed by a Veteran’s Van that slowed down and noticed our ministry van as we rolled down the highway. They then caught up with us and honked and gave us a double thumbs up as they sped by.   

 

Saturday- approx 36      TN, KY, FL, OH, MO, IL      2 saves      40 pro-lifers   Mostly Catholics showed up this day to pray outside the slaughterhouse. They were getting warmed up for the once-a-year Springfield Diocese pilgrimage to Granite City . Plus, October is “Respect Life” month for many.

            The femi-nazi deathscorts, all four, were donning their “poor-choice” deathscort vests. They deliberately tried to block the parking spot where the ultrasound van sits in front of this abortion mill. We knew it was going to be a good day!

            Early on, babies were being rescued and saved. Teresa and her friend from Springfield , Illinois walked back out and confirmed they were 6 weeks pregnant and going to keep the baby. The accepted our brochure and left.

            The rabid deathscort Krystal White was rushing as many abortion-bound mothers inside as she could get to. Krystal is normally pretty accommodating. Being an elementary school teacher she works with young children. Doesn’t she realize she is helping to murder future school children?? Today she was full of demons and thwarting our efforts. Usually, she allows us time to talk with them. Not today. Someone put the pressure to her.

            We also unfortunately noticed over 90% going in to kill were Black Americans. A rosary group from Virden , Illinois prayed on the front sidewalk.

            A mom and daughter from Missouri came back out. They declined any help, but informed us they were keeping their baby and had their own physician to follow-up with.

 

Approx. 126 babies killed. 10 babies saved. Approx. 52 pro-lifers cared enough to show up throughout the weeks’ massacre. 2899 saves since January 2000 and 26 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!

 

            “Who is greatest in the kingdom of Heaven ?” Jesus placed a child in the disciples’ midst and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you become like a child you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives such a child as this in My name receives Me. See that you do not despise one of these little ones. When you look into a child’s face you look into the face of God.” Matthew 18.  

            We face injustice and death every morning, but we are to administer justice. This is not an easy ministry. We don’t have cushy offices and climate controlled settings. We are literally in the dirty, uncomfortable trenches facing hell’s gates in Granite City . What we realize more and more is the detest and violence we see against children, the least of these. There is no respect for them in the womb or out of the womb.

            As I rocked our baby daughter to sleep the other evening, I looked in her angelic face as she drifted deeper into nigh and just could not imagine where she would be had we not been outside this slaughterhouse that fateful night when her drug-addicted mother was going inside.

            I gently reach down and kiss her soft cheek and my heart warms. When we feel beaten and discouraged and we are on our last bit of energy to keep showing up at these gates, I remember that night and the feeling comes over me again. I would do this ministry all over again in a heartbeat if I could save them all. “Just one dear Lord, just one,” is our prayer each day we show up for the battle. Let this be your prayer as you read this.

            We appreciate prayers and support. We recently received an encouraging word from a man who resides in Spain . He follows our website and his thoughts and insight were a much needed answer to prayer. “Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11.

            We may never know that lives that have been touched.

 

            Be encouraged~ Angela
