Death Toll March 23-28, 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 126 for medical research, pharmaceutical and cosmetic firms from the past week’s carnage.

 

Tuesday- midnight abortions approx 35      NV, MO, IL     As we rolled up to the crime scene only a couple of cars were on the parking lot. Judy helped us unload the signs. We spoke to a young couple waiting in their car; the girl looked uneasy, especially facing the truth of what an aborted baby looks like. The male got out and accepted the literature and Bible we offered them. We held up the picture of a saved adopted baby. The woman then got out and tried to cover her tummy. “We already have a baby.” Helen asked her, “Is the one at home a boy or girl?” The pregnant girl said, “It’s a girl.” I then said, “We can show you a picture of your baby. Maybe this is a boy.”

They started walking up to the doors. The male turned around and shrugged his shoulders, “We can’t afford another one.” “I will adopt this baby and raise it till you can,” I offered. He looked over at the pregnant girl standing in line; she stepped out. “Come on, it will only take five minutes. Let me show you your baby. God will make a way. He has for us and we have 12 children.” They talked it over. I told Daniel, “Get ready and set up.” They talked for a few more minutes. We prayed and slowly watched our grip loosen as they inched their way inside this death mill. “Please, turn back!” we called out. “It’s not too late.”

More cars poured onto the parking lot. Judy, Helen, and myself all took turns talking to the abortion-bound mothers as they bolted from their cars. They must be in a hurry to kill today. The remnant pleaded and tried their best to sway the murdering moms, but to no avail. Most this day were there to get cleaned out. The Black Americans took their time going inside. They mocked our offers of free help and adoption. One of the last cars we watched pull up before we had to leave for the day was yet another Black American from Missouri . The green car had front end damage, and she was very pregnant. Her baby showed well over the lip of her gym pants. So disheartening...

A cold front was coming through, but it wasn’t as cold as the premeditated murdering mothers’ hearts were. The winds were whipping our signs and rain began pelting our faces as we stood vigilantly in the gap.

The baby body parts truck “Stericycle” slipped quietly up to the bloody business. The driver retrieved two oversized boxes of dismembered babies, shoved them in the back of the truck, and slammed the door down. He drove off the lot before we arrived, Judy reported.

 

Wednesday- approx 6      MO, IL   Jess stood in the gap. He reported six of the evening’s previous customers were back to finish the grisly dismemberment of their late-term babies. Included was the young couple who already had a toddler “girl” at home that we begged and pleaded with the night before.  

Also, the Black American couple with the front end damaged car from Missouri , whose late-term baby hung over the cold-hearted mother’s waistband as she marched her baby on death row, was inside this extermination camp. Why? What was their crime MOM?

 

Thursday- approx 34      IN², MO, IL      2 saves   It was a cool, crisp, spring-like morning as we set up our resource van to the abortion-bound mothers. The 40 Days for Life remnant gathered in the alley to pray. God was hearing prayers and blessing efforts. A young mother came inside our van where she was able to view her 11 week old baby. She didn’t think she was that far along. We went over resources and she thanked us.

As we were exiting the van, Daniel summoned us for help. “Please talk with this Indiana girl.” We walked over to her and the save followed me. “Amy” was outside taking a smoke break as she waited to kill her baby. She was very pregnant. She said her mother who brought her was pressuring her to abort .She was 30 years old and already had two kids. “I can barely take care of myself,” she stated. “Then let us adopt.” We offered to show her an ultrasound. She said she already had one and told us she was over 21 weeks and it was a boy. We shuttered.

We then held up our daughter’s picture and shared her testimony. We offered to do the same for Amy. Again, she said her mother was pressuring her to abort, but she would go inside and talk with her. The save then spoke up and said, “Please don’t go in there. Listen to this lady; she will help you. She helped me and I was in there and almost aborted. I’m almost 12 weeks along. She will help you.”

As a last resort, I looked Amy in the eye and said, “Amy, it is very dangerous for you, especially at this late stage.” I explained step by step how the abortionist would rip her baby boy apart and break off his legs and arms to facilitate his delivery. “Along the birthing his little broken bones are like sharp projectiles in your engorged uterus. They can tear and poke holes in your uterus or cervix and cause you to hemorrhage. We see many butchered women being taken across the street. It’s not safe.” I noticed her eyes had tears in them as she took our brochure. I sensed she was a substance abuser and desperate for her next fix, and her mother was probably laying the law down: Either get rid of this baby or you’re on your own.

She thanked us and said she was going in to bring her mother out to speak with us. She never came back out. The pain that little baby boy would bear makes Iraqi torture rooms look like summer camp. We prayed for the situation and went on with the daily mission.

A couple from Missouri came back out and confirmed they were 7 weeks pregnant and keeping their baby.

 

Friday- approx 33      IN, MO, IL      2 saves   on-site ultrasounds    As soon as we set up our pregnancy outreach to the mothers God began blessing our efforts. A young pregnant girl and boyfriend walked up to us; they came inside our van where we were able to show them an ultrasound of their approx 6 week old baby. We then went over resources we could help them with and doctor follow-up. They thanked us and left.

Yolanda came inside and had an ultrasound and was referred to our doctors for confirmation and follow-up. We barely got our reconnaissance mission completed when Marsha and Ray from Missouri came back out, confirmed they were 6 weeks pregnant, and keeping their baby.

We then disheartenedly noticed the Indiana car. Was this “Amy’s” car from Indiana ? We prayed it wasn’t.

A mother and daughter from Illinois came back out; they were very upset, but did not kill the baby. They would call us for help.

An irresponsible male smoking while his child was being dismembered was being convicted with the offers of free help and another way out of the situation as we called over to the pregnant girls standing in line to sign the death warrants out on their babies. He got up and started screaming “unintelligible” words at us and even charged Daniel. He got right up in his grill, threw a lit cigarette in his face, and ran off back inside the slaughterhouse. An hour later, all three accomplices brought a drugged mother of a murdered baby out; she could barely walk. They had to lift her into the back seat of the minivan where she lay crumpled up. All three males were laughing as they got inside the van and drove off the lot. When they stand before God and give an accounting they won’t be laughing.

It’s been a tough week on the frontlines of the battle. It was so encouraging to get back home and receive good news. We received word from a save that she had kept her baby and was thankful.  Read: “It’s Worth It- Thank You Jesus!” www.smallvictoriesusa.com

 

Saturday- approx 30      IN, KY, MO, IL    3 saves   on-site ultrasounds    What a day! Rain had been predicted, but not one drop fell as we ventured out to the City of Slaughter . Little did we know what lay ahead for us outside the gates of hell. No sooner did we pull up to the slaughterhouse did the rain begin. Figures...but we were greeted by Shirley and her husband from Springfield , Illinois . They brought gift bags for the moms who changed their minds and baby supplies. Thank you Jesus! Only two troublemakers were in the alley. Yes, the Black man was screaming, but once the sidewalks filled with God’s saints, the screaming dissipated.

Three priests led the charge outside these gates of hell. Rosary warriors surrounded this altar of Baal praying with some crying. This was the first time for many. They had no idea what goes on outside an abortion mill. Many couldn’t fathom the amount of mothers standing in line to kill their babies. Some prayer warriors held signs and silently wept.

We spoke with a couple who pulled alongside this mill contemplating their unborn child’s demise. They gave various excuses, but we told them about God and His plan. They thanked us and began marching inside.

A young girl, “Shalee,” and her friend from Missouri came back out. They confirmed they were 7 weeks pregnant and keeping the baby. They were happy and would be calling us for help. Praise God!

The rains fell harder. It was a monsoon; torrents of rain poured out of the skies over this sad place, but the prayer warriors were that more encouraged. I kept thanking them for their bravery and endurance. One said, “God bless you Angela; you do this everyday.” We had groups from all over southern and central Illinois standing in the gap this day. It was a beautiful sight.

Then, we noticed the Indiana car that had been here for two days flying onto the parking lot. The passenger was the very pregnant “Amy”. We begged and pleaded with her not to kill her late-term baby boy on Thursday. This was Day 3. “Amy please, please don’t do it!” we called out in the rain storm. It was very emotional to those who knew what was going on. “You’re baby boy is not dead. Please don’t go back in there.” Her mother, the driver, got out and followed her back inside. She was in spontaneous labor and didn’t have to check with the guard. He just buzzed her in as she was delivering her baby boy. God help us! It was so upsetting to everyone. We told them the situation. They were appalled a mother would wait that long to kill her child, knowing it’s a boy too. It’s the ultimate act of selfishness. Why mom?

Praise God we stopped a couple and brought them in the ultrasound van where they were able to view their baby auditioning on the ultrasound screen. They were happy and we gave them a gift bag for a boy. They thanked us and left.

Happier and wetter, we continued to try and intervene with the deathscorts surrounding the cars with pregnant mothers. It was a picture of life versus death in the torrential rains. We witnessed at least five of the Black American abortion-bound mothers sitting in their cars enjoying a big breakfast from Mickey D’s laughing and mocking our efforts to save their babies and help them with real hope. These murdering moms were there to satisfy their stomachs and their own needs. The premeditated murder of unborn children goes decriminalized and those who fight against it are considered criminals. Evil is considered good and good considered evil, Isaiah 5:20.     

 

Approx. 138 babies killed. 7 babies saved. 3102 saves since January 2000 and

March Madness and Sadness

As the NCAA basketball tournament was being played out in most sports bars and living rooms, we were consumed with our daily witnessing of late-term mothers cold heartedly murdering their babies, not due to gross deformities, but because of incredible selfishness.

This past week’s carnage of future little boy and girl “hoopsters” was flying in our faces, and most importantly God’s face as these little ones are made in His image. “Why mom?” we pleaded. “What crime has your baby committed?” But what really irritated most witnesses was the brazen callousness of these murdering moms. Most of them spoke with us. Most of them had no shame when we inquired how far along they were in their pregnancy. One mother from Indiana, Amy, told us she was over 21 weeks. It was a boy. She already had two others at home. What was her reasoning? “I can barely take care of myself.” Is that the innocent baby’s fault? Just like last week, a murdering mom of 24 week old twins decided, “I just want them out of me.” The death merchants found funding and only charged for one twin’s dismemberment and disposal.

   Does anyone care? Does the public realize what abortion on demand has become? It’s surgical birth control. “Hired hitmen”. Women in our nation now can choose who gets to live and who gets to die, at any stage of their pregnancy. And now with Spring break underway and the struggling economy, we will witness abortions increase.

Abortion advocates have force-fed the public that it’s an economical or political problem, when all along we know it’s a moral problem. “Whadda ya mean we can’t legislate morality?” Do we allow bank robbers to keep robbing banks? Do we allow rapists to keep raping? Do we allow children to drink alcohol, drive a car, or take drugs? How about prostitution? Isn’t that against the law? If caught, there is a punishment. “If you do the crime you do the time.” In all cases this is legislating morality.

Women do have a choice; they can choose to prevent a pregnancy before it happens. Men too, but after the fact when a baby is already conceived, it’s not a choice; it’s a child, a human being. No one should have that right to take a life for theirs. And unfortunately, that is what we witness 30-45 times a day outside Hope(less) slaughterhouse.

Less than 1% of babies are conceived from a rape. Another excuse to kill. Why mom? Why do these women wait until they are well into their 6^th or 7^th month of pregnancy to have their babies dismembered and killed? Heartless. Laws will never stop abortion. No one, at least in Granite City , is enforcing anything. That is why it’s up to you and me to rollup our sleeves and do something about this atrocity taking place everyday in Granite City . We cannot wait for legislators or pastors to do something about child killing. They never will; too many co-exist with evil; too many like abortion.

It is time for the church to start acting as pro-child/pro-woman advocates outside these facilities that are destroying our families. Being pro-life doesn’t save babies; acting pro-life does. We must bring morality and respect for one’s self and one another back into focus. We must go against today’s Americana course of immorality and the “anything goes” attitude. Our forefathers must be turning over in their graves to see what our nation has become full of. We must once again be a city set upon a hill, a beacon of light and righteousness.
