Death Toll March 2-7, 2009

“Rescuing babies, saving lives, one heart at a time”

 

Reporting from the war zone, the killing fields of Granite City , Illinois   

  Once known for their towering steel mills, now known for the late-term baby dumping mill.

Casualty Count: Over 400,000 mother-child relationships in their 35 year reign of terror

 

Monday- Bag n’ Tag approx 141 for medical research, pharmaceutical and cosmetic firms from the past week’s carnage.

 

Tuesday- midnight abortions approx 15      TX, IN, MO, IL      2 saves     We stood in the frigidly cold weather and witnessed the baby body parts truck pull all the way up to the oversized purple utility door. This was odd as the driver usually walks up to retrieve the boxes of dead babies. He was nervously looking to see if anyone was watching; we were out of view obviously.

A few minutes later, he opened the door with a butcherette helping him. He could barely lift the huge box marked “hazardous waste” into the back of his truck. He then brought two more boxes which appeared as heavy as the first. They were full of dismembered murdered babies from this past week’s carnage. All this time, he kept looking to see if anyone was watching. He quickly got back into his truck and pulled off the lot. See Body Part Price List   

There were approx three cars on the lot with abortion-bound mothers waiting inside to go in. We placed our graphic signs strategically and offered other options to the waiting mothers. One mother was approx 20 weeks pregnant. She carried her pillow and blanket. Her friend turned her car around so she would not have to view the partial birth abortion sign. “That’s what they do here.” She got out of her car to go in. The guard told her to go back and wait in her car.

Another mother and accomplice came back out from Missouri and confirmed they did not go through with the abortion and left. Praise God!

Another car with two girls from Missouri pulled onto the lot staring at us. They got out and walked up to check in. The accomplice flipped us off as we offered them another option. She, too, was instructed to wait in their car. It was freezing.

Daniel talked with a family from Missouri . Their daughter Christy was 6 weeks pregnant and they accepted our literature and kept the baby. They got back into their car, drove off, and never returned during our watch. 

 

Wednesday- approx 24      IN, MO, IL      1 save    Still bitterly cold and windy as we stood in the gap. God continues to bless our efforts with all hell breaking loose around us. Some mothers were back for Day 2 of their grisly abortion.

Daniel talked with Tammy and her friend. He convinced them to come back to see an ultrasound. They promised they would return tomorrow. Trina and her boyfriend, from Illinois , walked over to Daniel, took a brochure, confirmed they were 7 weeks pregnant, and were keeping the baby.   

 

Thursday- approx 38      IA, IN, WV, MO, IL      8 saves   2 on-site ultrasounds    As soon as our ultrasound van rolled up to the crime scene a mother was waiting for us in the blustery winds. We set up our resource van and went into action. Not long after that, another abortion-bound girl came over to us for help. Tammy was at the abortion mill yesterday. We quickly scanned her tummy and BAM! She viewed twin pregnancy sacs. Twins run in her family. We went over resources and sent her over to our staff obstetricians for follow-up. She was tearful and grateful that she came inside our van.

The other mother came inside with her boyfriend and we scanned her protruding tummy. BAM! She peered at the screen and watched not one, not two, but three little peanut sized babies auditioning for their lives. She appeared to be approx 8 weeks pregnant. Both were very excited. We went over resources and again sent her over to our staff obstetricians to follow-up and confirm. We kidded them about trying to catch up with “Octo-Mom”. They thanked us and hugged us before they left.

We sanitized our equipment and then began our reconnaissance mission. We were able to speak with an abortion-bound mother from Missouri who walked back out and confirmed she was 6 weeks pregnant and keeping her baby. She accepted our literature and left.

A young girl pulled up to the parking lot and sat in her car listening to what we softly spoke to them. “God has a plan for your life and your baby’s.” The male accomplice sat in the passenger seat. A few minutes later, she pulled over to where I was standing and rolled her window all the way down. She accepted our literature, thanked us, and said she would be in touch. We watched them drive towards the interstate.

We then met up with a threesome from Missouri that came back out. BAM! She changed her mind, took our literature, and pulled off the hospital lot. Thank you Jesus! We informed the priest and 40 Days for Life remnant he brought standing and silently praying. They were encouraged to hear the good news.

 

Friday- approx 28      KY, IN, IA, MO, IL      1 save   Spring-like weather felt good, but it brings trouble with it. More screamers were in the alley. I asked the Catholic 40 Days for Life person if they were with him. He said, “No way!” Jess then told me it was Loretta Dearman with a church in Florissant , Missouri , Chatham Bible Church . Read: “God Goes Back to Church”, “The Fish Stinks at the Head”.  The abortion-bound girls were sticking their fingers in their ears. One woman who brought a girl sat in her car yelling back at her to, “Shut up.”

I asked this Loretta person to stop screaming and to come closer to talk to the girl instead of screaming at her. She and two others then stood defiantly and blocked the drive so cars could not enter the lot. The guard asked me to tell them to clear the drive. They refused. I apologized to the woman they screamed at and told the guard to go ahead and call police, “They won’t listen.” He then came out and they moved to join the other troublemakers on the front sidewalk from Faith Family and Frauds.

I followed a couple from East St .Louis, Illinois who walked back out that we had spoken to earlier. They accepted our literature and confirmed they would be needing help as they were keeping their baby. Praise God! We offered to show them a picture of their baby. They declined due to the screaming but thanked us anyways and drove off the hospital lot.

A Granite City detective went inside the mill. Usually, it’s due to the drug cartel the employees run inside or the staff larcenist getting busted on the job. But the detective came out holding an oversized package marked “evidence”. It could actually be an honest rape case where the evidence was needed to prosecute the perpetrator, which on average goes highly unreported to authorities. Especially child rapists.

The Collinsville home-schoolers joined us this day. Yea God! Later that evening another save made contact and we went over resources we can help her with. She is 7 weeks pregnant from Illinois .

 

Saturday- approx 36      TX, HI, KY, IN, MO, IL      1 save    We rolled up to the City of Slaughter , and as we turned the corner by McDonald’s something was unusually different. You could not hear the Black man screaming or his helpers. As we set up our outreach only two troublemakers were in the alley. A few from 40 Days were there. The farmer bully was there, but for once he was not screaming. Troublemaker Peggy was by his side whispering every time he tried to yell. We couldn’t understand, but relished the peace. What was different about today? Oh, that’s right, Peggy wanted to look good for the 40 Days people, which just proves the motives of these troublemakers. They are there to agitate and destroy. They can behave peaceably and still get the gospel out without terrorizing those going in and those standing outside trying to save lives.

Newcomers Susan and Judy joined us from Carlinville. Daniel filled them in as we tried talking to the mothers as they got out of their cars. Rabid pro-death escort Steve Tharp and his rabid female counterpart were swooping down like vultures trying to get every baby inside. One Black American woman stopped to listen to our offers of free help and an ultrasound and began coming inside our van when Steve stopped her and discouraged her not to come in the ultrasound van. “He doesn’t want you to see the truth honey. Where is her choice Steve? I thought you believed a woman should get a choice?” She looked puzzled and he turned her around and walked her inside. Prayer warriors were shocked. That is why we call them “deathscorts”.

A BMW from Hawaii pulled in front of us. “Must be economical,” someone said sarcastically. “Yeah, they can’t possibly afford the car payment and a baby.” A young girl got out; she was crying. The man appeared to be military. We pleaded with her not to go in. We would help her. The man stayed in the car and listened to our pleas of mercy and other options.

A few minutes later, she came back out and sat in the back seat. We then heard a tiny one crying. She was trying to soothe what appeared to be a newborn in the back seat. We prayed and asked others to pray. A few minutes later, she got out and bolted to the abortion mill door crying all the way. Again, we asked prayer warriors to pray.

The man pulled into the alley where we were able to briefly speak. We offered to soothe the crying baby and talked with him to get her out of this place. He declined when the religious giant pushed his way into his car with a Gideon’s Bible. The man thanked us, but was not interested. He pulled onto the street. “Keep praying!” was the order. “God is still in control.”

We then went over by the large rosary group and met a male accomplice who shared his sister’s plight and why she felt abortion was her answer.

Just then, we noticed the Hawaiian car was back, and like lightening, the girl came out running to the car. She was crying, “I can’t.” She got into the car and Judy and Daniel met them in the alley. They changed their minds on aborting their second child and thanked us as they drove from this wicked place. Judy and others began rejoicing.

We let the 40 Days warriors know the Hawaiian baby was saved. Tears of joy were pouring from the eyes of all involved in this save. Alleluia! It was amazing the different atmosphere there was outside these gates of hell without the screaming. Thank you Jesus!

Unfortunately, the Indiana mother and her accomplice came out with their brown bag. She was sick. She had been here for three days killing her late-term baby. God have mercy! Here in the metro-east the public outrage towards a young mother Elyse Mamino, who attempted to drown her newborn in a toilet after delivery, and the discovery of  decomposing remains of a baby in a dresser drawer, has been in the media for days. And yet, where is the outrage when you witness 30-45 mothers a day in Granite City , where it takes two-three days for a mother to deliver and then kill her newborn? It’s a double-standard. Abortion-bound mothers are held to a lesser degree than unprepared mothers. It’s a shame and a terrible injustice.

 

Approx. 141 babies killed. 13 babies saved. 3075 saves since January 2000 and

28 babies have been adopted through Small Victories!

 

God blesses us with the gift of perseverance that keeps us upright in the face of all that threatens to topple us. Romans 5:4 “And endurance produces character, and character produces hope…”
