Patients' reviews of Granite City's longtime abortion mill describe the horrors and potential crimes that take place inside its walls.

Less than 10 miles to the northeast of St. Louis sits Illinois' oldest continuously operating abortion clinic.

Granite City's deceptively named Hope Clinic is well known in the Midwest for its long history of butchering babies since 1974—just one year after the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade. Much less publicized is the clinic's apparent history of butchering women.

A search of Madison County's court records turns up decades of lawsuits accusing Hope Clinic and its abortionists of medical malpractice, negligence, and even wrongful death. Dozens of Google reviews build on those claims with chilling tales of unsanitary conditions, verbal abuse, and lasting physical and emotional trauma.

Still, the clinic not only remains open but has now expanded to include a swanky new location in Uptown Chicago that advertises "all-trimester" abortions.

So, how does a business plagued by litigation and poor reviews manage to survive?

Nameless, faceless donors obscured by the Left's favorite dark money network.

The Abortion Mill

At one point, it was Granite City's old steel mill that drew people from across the country to the area.

"Now, it's the abortion mill," said Angela Michael, CEO of Small Victories Pregnancy Outreach.

Hope Clinic has made headlines in recent years for the sheer volume of traffic the facility continues to receive from states with stricter abortion laws since Roe's reversal.

In Illinois, abortion is legal for any reason up until fetal viability—or roughly 22 to 24 weeks' gestation—and to protect the mother's life and health after that. Hope Clinic's Granite City location offers abortions as late as 27 weeks and six days into a pregnancy, or the end of the second trimester, making the facility a popular choice for desperate women seeking late-term abortions.

"[Women from] all 50 states are flown in, and families come with them, so it's just very sad to see," Michael said.

Those who arrive at the clinic are likely to find Michael, her husband Daniel, and their mobile pregnancy center out front. For more than three decades, the Highland couple has been helping Hope Clinic patients choose life for their babies by offering free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, counseling, doctor referrals, and baby supplies to those in need. Michael estimates they've saved more than 7,000 babies through their efforts and convinced several abortion workers to leave the industry.

"They have come out and blindsided me and told me, 'I'm leaving today, Angela. Your ministry's changed my life. I'm going out to do what real nurses should be doing," she said.

But along with those miracles, they've also seen tragedies. "Almost two years ago in December, we saw four ambulances in one week," Michael recalled, noting that she chronicles everything she witnesses and learns about the clinic on her two websites and Facebook page.

"People have shared with me, written me letters about the inside of that abortion clinic, the filthiness, and I've reported it," she said. "Just the stench was a turn-off to some of the women that went in there, and they would change their minds and not go through with it."

A 'Nightmare' of a Misnomer

Hope Clinic greets all visitors with a banner out front that reads: "Where there's hope, there's choice." On its website, the facility promotes itself as a provider of "safe" and "compassionate" care. Dozens of lawsuits and Google reviews* suggest otherwise.

In 2018, one reviewer said she accompanied a 16-year-old family member to the clinic for an abortion performed by a male Indian doctor, whom she described as "rough, insensitive, and disrespectful."

"He stabbed a needle forcefully into her pelvis without warning and went to great lengths to ensure her procedure was as painful as possible!" she wrote.

She added that the abortionist treated the teen "like trash" and "yelled and screamed" in the hallway. "I felt this man had no respect for women at all. I would not recommend this clinic to any woman, it's a nightmare!"

Hope-Clinic-review-2-screenshot.png

Michael said the abortionist was likely Dr. Yogendra Shah, Hope Clinic's longtime chief abortionist, whom she said was forced out by new management this past February.

"He eventually resigned because we exposed him to everybody, but this guy was the one that was doing the abortions that day when we had the four ambulances show up," she noted.

Numerous other reviews complain of a doctor of the same description and with the same temperament. One woman noted that an Indian doctor "was so rough" with her during her procedure that she screamed and cried. Contrary to the "hope" the clinic promised, she wrote that she left feeling "hopeless and defeated."

Another reviewer mentioned Shah by name, noting that he yelled at her for crying out in pain during procedure. "He was too rough, had no empathy or sympathy," she wrote. She also disclosed that she had since learned Shah denuded the lining of her uterus into the muscle to the point where she "bled for a month" and needed a hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and another dilation and curettage to determine the extent of the damage.

Other testimonials described instances where women needed emergency medical treatment to repair the damage done to their bodies, including a review posted just five months ago.

"I began to bleed excessively—so much that they were filling bags with my blood," the patient wrote. "Despite repeatedly telling them I felt like I was going to die, my concerns were ignored, and no immediate action was taken."

After two hours, she said the clinic told her that if she stayed there any longer, she could die. "I was rushed to the ER, where they immediately gave me blood and performed emergency surgery to save my life."

Hope-Clinic-review-screenshot-1.png

Describing the experience as "incredibly traumatic and dangerous," the woman added that she intended to sue. If she does, she will join a lengthy list of other women and families that have sued the clinic and its staff over the years.

Shah has been named specifically in more than a dozen lawsuits, including two wrongful death suits, most of which have been settled out of court. In one notable case, patient Melanie Mills sued him for performing an abortion on her when she wasn't even pregnant. Mills went on to become an outspoken pro-life advocate.

The Michaels have also sued the clinic. Their lawsuit, settled in 2007, accused a clinic escort of shoving their daughter to the ground and alleged Shah tried to run Michael's husband over with his car.

"They've gotten away with so much violence, it's just, it's unbelievable," she said.

Possible Criminal Activity

One particularly troubling testimonial describes what at the very least appears to be a case of uncaring and unprofessional treatment by Hope Clinic staff. At most, it could be a crime.

"This was by far the worst experience of my life," wrote the patient, who allegedly scheduled a surgical abortion at the clinic in September 2023.

At her first appointment, she said the doctor's manual opening of her cervix "hurt extremely bad" and that she only received ibuprofen for the pain. She was then told to go back to her hotel until the morning, when she would be dilated enough for the procedure.

At 4 a.m., the patient awoke to intense cramping and realized she was in labor. She called the clinic and was advised to take pain medication and see if that helped. It didn't. When she arrived at the clinic two hours later, she was in so much pain she couldn't walk.

"My Uber [driver] had to hold me up," she wrote.

Once inside, she told a nurse that she felt faint. The nurse's alleged response was to advise her to go to the emergency room. After a friend helped her convince the nurse over the phone to let her stay, the patient sank to the floor, crying and screaming in pain.

Feeling overheated, she requested help removing her shirt. Instead of helping her, the nurse reportedly just "stood there and looked" at her until asked again. After finally removing the patient's shirt, the nurse told her to stand up "without offering help or nothing."

Eventually, the nurse assisted her, and as she stood up, she realized her baby was crowning. She was then taken back to a treatment room where she delivered her baby.

"I sat [there] 20 minutes with a baby hanging from inside of me," she wrote. "I cried ... I could feel the baby just sitting by my vaginal area."

After that, she said the experience was "not too bad" because staff gave her anesthesia "to finish."

What happened next is a mystery, though the reviewer's account appears to suggest her child received no immediate medical attention after it was born. As she does not disclose how far along her pregnancy was, it could be that the child was not viable. But as this woman's baby was large enough for her to feel it hanging out of her body and lying next to her, the circumstances certainly warrant further investigation.

Under the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002, infants born alive after failed abortions are entitled to equal protection under the law. Though Illinois law does not specifically mandate protections for such infants—a proposal to that effect is pending—failing to provide them with necessary medical care could constitute criminal child neglect under existing law.

The problem is getting the right people to care.

Michael said she has tried countless times to get someone to investigate.

"I have approached senators, I have approached politicians, I've even gone to Democrats that my husband grew up with," she said. "It's just amazing how everybody's covering up what's happening here in Illinois."

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

The evidence of a cover-up is compelling.

While investigating a June 2022 incident at Hope Clinic, pro-life group Operation Rescue found evidence clinic staff were using private backchannels to secretly request medical transports for patients.

When the organization's Freedom of Information Act request for the clinic's 911 call returned no responsive records, the group checked the emergency dispatch recordings for the corresponding time frame. Eight minutes before witnesses saw the ambulance arrive at the clinic, a dispatcher was recorded asking, "EMS, can you contact us back for a possible transport?"

The dispatcher provided no additional details as to the emergency in question, though Operation Rescue holds that it must have been the Hope Clinic emergency. The group described the dispatcher's request for a phone call as "an obvious attempt to subvert the 911 system, a publicly available recording."

In 2023, Operation Rescue documented 15 medical emergencies at Hope Clinic that required medical transfers, including three within one week in November. In one case, the pro-life group filed a formal complaint with the Illinois Department of Public Health after an abortionist perforated the uterus of a 13-year-old statutory rape victim.

“It is unknown whether the abortionist who performed the botched abortion reported the child’s rape,” Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, said at the time. “My staff is looking into this and filing a formal complaint concerning this middle-school aged girl who was already violated sexually and then violated again by the blood-thirsty abortionists at this hopelessly dangerous facility.”

The health department wrote back that the complaint "may or may not trigger an investigation," and that if one ensued, officials would be in touch. No further communication ever occurred.

Journalist Megan Twohey—one of the reporters who broke the Harvey Weinstein scandal—has also reported on state officials' lack of transparency and curiosity when it comes to abortion-related data.

In a 2011 article in the Chicago Tribune, Twohey noted that what little information was available to the public was so opaque "it was impossible to determine" whether six abortion-related deaths the Tribune had uncovered were ever documented.

In a separate report, Twohey detailed the massive gaps in statewide abortion data. She found that state regulators recorded between 7,000 and 17,000 fewer abortions per year than those identified by a national research group and suggested that regulators "may be allowing doctors and clinics to operate off the books."

Twohey also found that nearly 4,000 reports of abortion complications in 2009 were missing their required descriptions.

"Health care providers who intentionally fail to submit accurate and complete reports are committing a criminal act, and a failure to report abortion complications is grounds for revoking their licenses, but the Department of Public Health has never sought disciplinary action against a provider," the journalist wrote.

Dark Money Covers Dark Deeds

State officials have since revised the Public Health Department's abortion data collection and reporting methods to make the truth even less accessible. In 2023, the department announced that it would only report aggregate-level abortion totals for Illinois residents and out-of-state residents rather than county or state-specific totals. Additionally, the state now only reports age ranges for abortion patients instead of their specific ages, among other changes.

Officials claimed the changes were to boost patient privacy. When you follow the money, however, another possible motive emerges.

Tax filings reviewed by Restoration News reveal that from 2016 to 2023, Hope Clinic's Granite City location received more than $5.1 million in grant funding from Hopewell Fund.

Hopewell is one of many shell nonprofits in the dark money web weaved by Arabella Advisors, the Left's limitless shadow ATM nestled deep in the heart of the Washington Swamp.

Abortion, meanwhile, is Democrats' golden calf—the issue they can always count on exploiting to drive their blue-haired base to the polls. With deep-pocketed progressives keeping Hope Clinic's doors open, it should come as no surprise that Illinois' Democrat-controlled government—spearheaded by the state's abortion-obsessed Gov. J.B. Pritzker—has no interest in what really goes on inside.

"Pritzker, our wonderful governor here, basically let the abortionists inside Hope Clinic write" the state's Reproductive Health Care Act of 2019, Michael said. The law established that women have "a fundamental right" to kill their babies in utero until fetal viability, as determined by their abortionist. It also repealed a 1975 trigger ban on all abortions except those deemed necessary to save a woman's life.

The new law, Michael said, "only protects the abortionists, and there are no regulations. They don't even get inspected."

With state officials refusing to look under the hood, Michael said she fears for the unsuspecting women who walk through Hope Clinic's doors.

"These girls are taking a risk, and they don't understand," she said. "I tell them, 'You may leave in a body bag today because these people are not held accountable.'"

Now that IL is the most deadliest late term abortion/birth control mill, where there are no regulations or oversight, non physician abortionist, means anyone can do abortions inside Hope Clinic. Tax payers are being forced to pay for everyone’s limitless, abortions. No parental consent or restrictions. Hope Clinic has hired private ambulance firm “Abbott” to haul butchered pt.’s across the river to St Louis, MO. at Barnes Jewish to continue with the coverup for the past two years as IL was a mandatory reporter when injured abortive women show up at emergency rooms of IL hospitals from Hope Clinic. Here I thought ‘legal” abortions would put a stop to “back-alley” seedy abortionist! Boy, were we wrong. Back alley abortion hasn’t ended with legal abortion, it just cost more.

Written by Angela Michael

Luke 8:17 “What is done in darkness, will be brought to light”

Biggest hoax since the inception of Roe V Wade ," safe " really? Have you seen the number of lawsuits filed against Hope Clinic and the abortionists? Have you seen our website full of articles throughout our 26 years witnessing unsafe abortions at Hope Clinic? I noticed in all articles Erin King Eisenberg made no mention of the negligence and malpractice filed on behalf of former injured clients. Is that why Hope Clinic has so many “botched abortions” that they bypass the local hospital only 75 ft. across from abortion mill and hired private Abbott ambulance firm to haul butchered patient’s over state lines to Barnes- Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, to patch them up? No 911 calls, no oversight, no FOIA, sounds like a cover up. It's a revolving door since IL taxpayers are forced to pay for everyone's abortions. Hope Clinic is the "Abortion Capital of America" . All 50 states come to kill and dump dead babies here in Granite City, Illinois where there are NO restrictions. And now that abortions are FREE , well, katy -bar -the door!

Recently we wrote the article “HOPE CLINIC IS MISSOURI’S ABORTION MILL”

as over 70 % of daily clients are from Missouri. In the past few years Hope Clinic Ltd, Midwest largest late term abortion mill has hired more abortionist’s which includes Erin King Eisenberg (David), Margaret Baum (James) and her significant other James Hobby former nurse, now abortionist. They join chief abortionist Yogendra A. Shah who has been murdering babies and butchering women since 1974. Shah is also my former co worker back in the day when we worked together delivering babies at an elite hospital in West St. Louis County over in Missouri. Until he figured out “he could make more money doing four abortions and not being work up in the middle of the night” Shah’s own words.

And now, that former RINO Governor Bruce Rauner passed 2018 legislation in Springfield, Illinois, that forces Illinois taxpayers to pay for limitless abortions. It’s a revolving door at Hope Clinic. Surgical, dismemberment abortions are being used for birth control methods. In our 26 years of being embedded outside this notorious late term abortion mill, our death tolls continue to soar. Clients are coming from all 50 states and most from Missouri. Most abortion clients are not upset or crying, rather mocking and laughing or boasting how “you all are paying for our abortions”. Our abortion mill is more like the “ Gosnell ” movie version, not the recent hit “ Unplanned ”. Our ab mill workers are very nasty. Look at the reviews we posted a few months ago.

Bad Reviews Force Hope Clinic to Remove Website

The clients are rude and nasty so too are the workers inside Hope. But the most revealing lie, was that this abortion mill is “ safe .” Contrary to what Hope Clinic wants people to believe, a couple years ago a former Gateway hospital worker told me so many butchered women were coming from Hope that they were now mandated to red flag/report any abortion clients with complications to the State of Illinois Department of Regulation/Health . In turn, Erin King Eisenberg went under the radar and hired a private ambulance firm, commonly known as “ Abbott ” ambulance services. Instead of taking seriously injured patients from Hope across the 75ft. distance to Gateway Regional Hospital, they bypass any reporting, or FOIA, or 911 calls of injured clients and Abbott ambulance pulls into abortion mill garage or if there are no protestors they pull in front on parking lot and they rush a stretcher inside and pull out a non-responsive women and place her in the ambulance and haul her over to Barnes- Jewish hospital where all 4 abortionists are on staff or have privileges. The injured clients receive lifesaving treatment, get patched up and placed back onto the high way where they are no longer the abortionist problem. We have documented this time and time again on our website. Why does Hope Clinic and their staff jeopardize the health and safety of an injured abortion client by not taking her to a hospital only feet from their doors? Because it’s a “cover up” . They don’t want you to know the truth of abortion. Abortion was based on a lie, abortion thrives on lies, and it continues to be a lie. It is not healthcare; Abortion murders innocent human beings, it destroys lives, hurts and injures women and it goes against all medical ethics “TO DO NO HARM” . This billboard is a wake-up call to the CHURCH of Jesus Christ. Is this what Illinois stands for? Infanticide. Instead of cornstalks and Abraham Lincoln, maybe an aborted baby on the WELCOME to Illinois State sign would be more appropriate. The blood of the innocents is coursing down the washboards streets of Granite City, right up unto the churches doors all the while the church goers sing a lil’ louder as innocent babies are being murdered down the street. “Innocent blood has a voice, and their voice cries out for justice”.

January 2019

It is the 26 ^th year in our Lord, Small Victories continues the ground battle against this atrocity in Granite City, Illinois. Recently, we exposed the reviews from Hope Clinic .com to social media websites. Almost all were negative experiences and some just down right nasty about the treatment and conditions and dangerous abortion complications inside this Midwest largest late term sanctuary abortion mill where approx. 10,000 babies are murdered annually and Illinois taxpayers are forced to pay for everyone’s abortions. Within 48 hours Hope Clinic took their website down and replaced with no reviews just their hours basically and their motto. We just learned they posted several NEW reviews from Jan.2019 to cover their tracks. FAKE REVIEWS . Like FAKE NEWS. We then were notified Hope Clinic placed a tv ad encouraging viewers “if they don’t want to be pregnant to come to Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois and to view their new website” (which contained no reviews) ending with their motto. BOOM! Our exposure of the horrors and lies inside Hope Clinic forced them to their knees. Thank you, Lord, this abortion mill was built on lies and continues the spin of calling the deliberate murder of innocent babies, “a woman’s right to healthcare, or reproductive rights”. The recent 2018 abortion client reviews told a different and very concerning story. We will be posting on our website. Our ministry has been exposing the lies and deception of Hope Clinic for decades now. You can put up a fresh coat of purple paint trying to keep the facade going, but the truth is coming out of this two-million-dollar state of the art chop shop. Window dressing plain and simple. How you present the package determines the sell; the same with abortion. More inviting, more duped clients. Pictured here are current staff inside Hope Clinic including all four abortionists. Chief abortionist Yogendra A. Shah who had reviews of insulting patients, screaming hate at them in front of family members. Unlicensed workers, underperformance, rude and unprofessional behavior and care. Decomposing fetal body parts left inside patients causing complications and emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Just to name a few. We told you Hope Clinic hires right off the streets and trains everyone to assist in the abortions. It’s just cheaper than paying for professionals. As a matter of fact, employees are required to of had to undergone at least one abortion themselves in order to work inside Hope Clinic.

Since Hope Clinic removed reviews we have included them below;

I had an appointment Friday, August 24,2018. I drove 4 and half hours. I got to my appointment just to find out that the lady, who scheduled my appointment, did NOT give clear instructions. I arrived on time and was prepared to have my procedure done just to be told by security that I wasn't allowed in the building and that I had needed a driver, who had to stay for the entire procedure. Now with that being said, that was a first I heard of anything about my driver staying with me. So I proceeded to call the clinic and speak with someone to explain to me why wasn't that stressed to me so I made sure I was ready to go when I got there. The woman on the phone stated "she didn't know" but I couldn't stay. I remained calm and asked her if I could possibly make a few calls and get someone to come sit with me, she put me on hold and checked on that and returned to the phone to tell me "yes you have 30 minutes to do so". So I ended the call and made calls to find someone then call back to let the clinic know my driver was on there way, at the moment the woman put me on hold again then came back to the phone to tell me that the SUPERVISOR said NO and I needed to reschedule. At that very second I became livid, because I missed 10 hours of work that day, drove 4 and a half hours for this appointment, had to find a babysitter last minute for my daughter, and had just got off work at 11pm the night before, just to not get any rest nor my situation handled in a professional manner. I will never contact Hope Clinic of Granite City Illinois, ever again to do any type of business nor recommend anyone I know to them. I thought they were better and wayyyy more professional than this

We are sorry to hear about your experience. The Hope Clinic has a very strict driver policy for patients receiving sedation for safety reasons. But it seems your situation was not handled in a professional manner. We have since updated our driver policy and included clear instructions on our website so that hopefully other patients do not have the same experience. Thank you for your detailed feedback - it will not only alert patients to check out the driver policy prior to arrival but has improved care for future patients.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST CLINIC! Walked in for our 12:30 appointment to be greeted by over 50 people crammed into the small wiating room (which apparently has a MOLD PROBLEM which requires additional waivers when filling out paper work). Waited nearly 3 hours before finally getting ultrasound, while patients who had seemingly just arrived were waited on before those who had been there since before NOON. Total commotion in wiating room. Overcrowded and nurses completely unprofessional, even spiteful. No attention to detail. Nurses didn't even verify birthdays, watched two patients with same first name became mixed up and ultrasounds/medical history was not only swapped but divulged to wrong party....a pretty INCREDIBLE MISTAKE when given the type of clinic and the procedures being performed. Experience only got worse as we continued to go thru the waiting process. After making payments and recieving take home medication, patient was asked to wait for doctor in order to take first pill. Instead patient had to wait 3 hours in bright solitary room waiting for doctor to finally come in so she could literally swallow a pill and leave. When I asked the nurses what status was of patient and what wait time I should expect before she could leave, I was told she would be out in a few minutes time. When I simply inquired again as to the nature of the 3 hour wait for a pill, they threaten to KICK US OUT OR RESCHEDULE US and make us spend another 8 hour period ... in which both of us had to take off work to even make this work. Awful experience. Would never recommend. Nurses are spiteful and like to use ANY BIT OF POWER they have at disposal...when patients need compassion and EMPATHY. Completely overbooked and unprofessional. P.S. For what it matters doctor was very nice and apologized profusely for wait.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

We are sorry for your experience. We are undergoing construction and repairs of storm damage and it has made for a short time of limited space. The staff are all committed and compassionate about their work. We strive to make the (sometimes long) visit with us the best it can be in a stressful situation and we clearly fell short in your case. We appreciate your feedback so we can make improvements.

Workers are non chalant and have a lack of knowledge when it comes to resources that are listed on their website.Very dismissive with phone conversations when asking questions and needing answers.Seems to have a staffing issue.When I called to see about rescheduling, I was told that “I’m in the middle of checking patients in, I will have to call you back later”, very unprofessional and never in my life have I been told this from a doctors office.

Your feedback is very important. Thank you. We will be having a training with the front desk staff this afternoon to respond to these issues so they aren’t affecting more patients. We are sorry for your experience.

We are clearly falling short if this is how you felt at our facility. We work hard to treat each patient individually and with care and compassion. Our employees are dedicated and feel very strongly about the work that they do. We will make sure to portray this to patients more effectively. We don't ever want anyone to feel alone. Thank you for your feedback.

I had an appointment today which went well. But no one told me there would be a bunch of protesters waiting to judge you. But luckily they had volunteers to get you from your car to the place which really helped. I was there for maybe 3 hours but the wait wasn’t long. The people there were so nice and friendly and once I actually got in, a lot of those nervous jitters went away. I would recommend them if you choose to go this route but I will say taking someone with you will help you through it more. Unfortunately I went alone but they ppl there took very good care of me.

Response from the owner9 months ago

So sorry you were harassed outside. We do usually have protestors and they are legally able to be there. But this is your private decision and once you get inside we work to take the best care of you in a NO JUDGEMENT zone. We support you 100 percent whatever your decision. Thank you for your feedback.

I’m sorry but this just is untrue. We are not religiously affiliated and we do offer abortion care in this facility. You may have confused us with a different location as there are many “fake” clinics out there.

I went to hope clinic for my abortion I was scared at first due to the fact I was pregnant and already had three young children under the age of five . The employees at hope was understanding and gave me a peace of mind. I would tell anyone to go to hope clinic . The hope site is also helpful with finding funds to get the abortion.

I took a 16 year old family member here on the morning of 1/13/18. The counselor was great and sensitive to the child’s age and mental state, however the the male Indian physician was insensitive, rough and disrespectful towards my family member.He treated her like garbage and was very unapologetic about it. He even came out into the hallway screaming and yelling! I would not recommend any woman receive services at this clinic!

Response from the ownera year ago

I am sorry to hear this was your experience. We all really care about our patients and their wellbeing physically and mentally at all times. Thank you for your honest and timely feedback as it will only help us improve our care and make sure no one has a similar experience.

The counselor Hannah was nice, but my friends comfort shot was botched and she felt the whole procedure. The nurse stuck her 5 seperate times in both arms with the IV port because she was distracted talking to the people around her and then proceeded to blame my friend for it. When we were told we'd be refunded our 60 dollars they took it back and claimed they gave her the comfort shot in her cervix along with the numbing shot. If they couldve just given it to her in her cervix then why did my friend have to get stabbed so many times with the IV port? Why did she feel the whole procedure if they supposedly gave her the shot after all? Why did they offer us a refund if they honest to god really did give her the comfort shot? She had a complete meltdown afterwards and had to have the counselor come down to the recovery room to talk to her. I do not recommend this place.

EDIT: its been 6 days since my friends procedure. Ive been at Missouri Baptist hospital since noon today with her because shes having complications. Shes been soaking through 2-3 pads every hour since yesterday. The people at the ER say she needs a D&C because theres still "product" in her uterus. This has been the hardest experience for her. I have to take her to St. Clair tomorrow for another procedure. I DO NOT recommend Hope Clinic whatsoever.

Response from the owner9 months ago

We will look into all of this. It sounds like very bad communication from our staff. It is true we do not offer general or deep sedation and can certainly make referrals to facilities that are able to offer that. On the other hand if she did not receive the moderate sedation or “comfort shot” as planned then she should absolutely be given a refund. We will make sure this is fixed ASAP. Our mission is to provide the best care to patients at all times in compassionate manner.

unbelievably stupid regulations about cars.

Response from the owner6 months ago

Not sure exactly what this is in reference to, but we do require patients have a driver/guest with a car or a safe mode of transportation home if they are receiving sedation. This is truly for the safety of the patient. We don’t want anyone driving or taking other transportation by themselves after being heavily sedated for a procedure. We are so sorry if this caused an inconvenience. We know how hard it is to access healthcare these days and aren’t purposely trying to make it any harder.

On the website I seen that it says if you live in Illinois they accept Medicaid now but I know other places accept Medicaid if the pregnancy is due to rape or if it puts the mother or baby in danger so I was wondering if this is the same for them or if they accept it even out of those conditions?

Response from the owner9 months ago

Please refer to our website. http://www.hopeclinic.com/illinois-residents/
There is no specific criteria to meet except to be an Illinois resident and have active Illinois Medicaid. Hope that answers your question.

The experience at this clinic was not very good, they wouldn't allow anyone to be with me through out the whole entire process. They isolate you the whole entire time, their counseling is done by people that are immature. The person that I did my "counseling" with acted like a young teenager, when I looked at her office her calender looked like a teenager had wrote it out with little sketches all over it. Why would anyone want to talk about such a touchy subject with someone so immature appearing. The workers were rude while they were doing lab tests on you they chated with the other worker there, ignoring you pretending you were not there....By the end of all the hoops and experiences at this clinic I was too mad to think straight and make a proper decision

HOPE CLINIC FOR WOMEN LTD. SOLD?

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 05:21:06 GMT

December 2018

Midwest largest late term baby killing mill may of possibly been sold. We are checking sources for confirmation. The “dream team” husband and wife abortionists, Erin Lee King Eisenberg & David Eisenberg are still killing babies and calling it “healthcare”. David Eisenberg is medical director and murders babies over at Planned Parenthood, in St. Louis, Missouri. He has not been sighted for a while at PP after he botched a recent abortion, reported by protestors outside Planned Parenthood. He teaches baby homicide 101 at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri to future physicians in training. Erin L. King Eisenberg, also listed as medical director, murders babies inside Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois and moonlights at Grace Hill settlement in North St. Louis which treats mostly indigent Black American women, procuring many of them for abortions at Hope Clinic. Erin has botched several abortions, but Hope Clinic continues with the cover up as they hired Abbott ambulance firm to haul injured abortion clients over to Barnes Jewish hospital in St. Louis, to perform life saving surgery to save their lives and get them back on the highway where they are no longer the abortion mills problem. No 911 calls. No record of back alley abortions and the gross negligence or malpractice being done,. LEGALLY.

Can you imagine the dinner conversations in the Eisenberg household? We informed the public a few years back this abortion mill was on the market. Since October our ministry has witnessed a large dumpster adjacent to this notorious abortion mill and laborers filling it with bloodied furniture, walls and flooring etc. We noted there are no visible building permits either. IDPH is to be notified before any renovations or constructions take place inside PTSC’s. Hope Clinic also needs permission from IDPH to modify an ASTC. We noticed several boxes of “medical waste” loaded on top of one another in the garage . This is what aborted babies are referred to as. Must be the overflow from past weeks carnage, along with syringes , I.V. bags etc. Stericycle picks them up at unusual times, as in past we take pictures and document.

They don’t like that.

Hope abortion mill has not been updated since its 2 million dollar “state of the art” grand opening in 1999, from their former original blue wooden chop shop erected in 1974. We surmised after the release of the “Gosnell” movie this past October, revealing how filthy and substandard conditions are inside abortion clinics, Hope Clinic knew they had to clean up their image, hence the renovations began in October. The roof had been leaking since this past June when a strong storm came through. Several roofers came by over the summer/ fall, but when they found out it was an abortion mill, they refused to do the work and drove away. Abortionist and Hope Clinic owner, Hector Zevallos has been looking for a buyer for some time now as he is in his 80’s and has several abortion mills in California.

And now with Illinois being a haven for out of state abortions and Illinois taxpayers paying for those abortions, revenue is sky rocketing due to the influx of abortion clients coming from all 50 states. Especially Missouri, who is down to one abortion facility, Planned Parenthood, over in St. Louis, Missouri and enforces restrictions on abortions. Illinois has no restrictions and specializes in late term abortions. Recently, we witnessed approximately 46 babies murdered in a four-hour period inside this slaughterhouse. FOURTY-SIX bodies. Now with free abortions there is no limit, and like most women, abortion IS their method of birth control.

Safest place for an unborn baby in the womb will be Granite City as Hope Clinic is temporarily closed till December 26th to complete baby killing renovations. Just in time for college and high schoolers to return back to schools, after holidays, unpregnant. And of course, the disdainment of Roe V. Wade this January 22nd. Currently, Hope Clinic has at least three staff abortionists; Yogendra A. Shah (SmitaFoi), Erin Lee King Eisenberg(David), Margaret Baum (James), several residents from Washington University float to Hope Clinic as part of their required academic courses. Too bad this isn’t a tattoo parlor or a pornography shop, as the tattoo parlor would have more oversight and strict regulations. As for the porno shop, well, it would have been run out of town by now. But Hope Clinic murdering babies is acceptable by most townsfolk’s and officials and continues to stay open by permission of the local Granite City churches. Satan knew there would be no resistance, that’s why he chose this disgraceful town to house this abomination.

Speaking the truth, no matter the cost,

HOPE CLINIC IS MISSOURI’S ABORTION MILL

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 05:19:13 GMT

December 5, 2018

Written by Angela Michael

Midwest largest late term abortion mill located in Granite City, Illinois has received another notable title, recently. For years now, we have been reporting and documenting that Missouri abortion clients are keeping “the lights on” so to say inside this baby slaughterhouse. In our almost 26 yrs. of gently preaching the gospel and helping mothers with real healthcare and baby supplies etc., and witnessing to the abortion bound, its mostly Missouri women crossing state lines and using Hope abortion Clinic as their method of birth control. There seems to be no limit of evil and corruption that can be bought inside the state of Illinois. Illinois ranks number one in manufacturing corruption and vice. Churches are M.I.A. when it comes to morality or loving our neighbors. Even the littlest ones. Now, since the out going Republican Governor Rauner signed into effect Jan 1, 2018 that Illinois taxpayers will be forced to pay for everyone’s abortions. Its endless. Katy bar the door! And the city forefathers could care less as this is more income for the s***hole Granite City, where the steel industry once kept Granite City thriving; now it’s the abortion mill. This Sunday as many Sundays, pastors will preach, church goers will sing songs, as the blood of the innocent courses through the sewer pipes underneath their churches. Not a word will be mentioned concerning the over 400, 000 babies’ innocent blood that has flowed through their streets for 44 years. This was the 2017 report and numbers are questionably lower than our data; Just imagine what the 2018 data will show us as the murder rate has sky rocketed with Illinois tax payer money.

By state: Missouri- 1820. Yes- well over half are from Missouri. 60% actually.

Illinois 1069 - barely over a third. 35% REMINDER: This is 2017 report

The other 5% are

Indiana 31 - 1%

Hope abortion mill is more of a Missouri abortion clinic than an Illinois clinic. It just doesn't have to follow MO laws and regulations.

“GOSNELL” movie FORCES HOPE ABORTION CLINIC TO CLEAN UP FILTHY CONDITIONS

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 05:17:09 GMT

October 30, 2018

Midwest largest late term sanctuary abortion mill in Granite City, Illinois is cleaning up its substandard/ grotesque image inside state-of-the-art slaughterhouse.

Since the first of the year, when Rino Governor Bruce Rauner signed pro abortion legislation and lied to Illinois taxpayers, our abortion numbers have drastically increased. Approx. 30-40 babies a day 5 days a week are murdered now that abortions are limitless and FREE in Illinois. Courtesy of Illinois taxpayers. Of course, with the steady increase of abortions so too are complications and negligent mistakes and errors occurring inside Hope Clinic. Another side effect due to increase, is the filthy conditions. Employees cannot keep up with cleaning duties and removal of waste products.

And, just like the Gosnell movie, storage space is running out inside Hope Clinic. Currently there are at least three abortionists performing abortions at all hours inside Hope Clinic. They hired one licensed nurse to try and keep up with surgical abortions. Today, she had to park in the open where high schoolers joined us praying. She lashed out at them for being there as the guard walked her inside the slaughterhouse. Baby killers want no witnesses to their crimes. That’s why the abortionists picked Granite City to make their fortunes on murdering babies; they knew there would be no resistance locally. So, when young people make the pilgrimage, to stand in the gap, abortion workers get angry and they are quaking behind those purple cinder blocks. Today was more proof.

As we were attending to a mother who saved her baby and leaving the area, we noticed the cleanup crew and the giant dumpster adjacent to the slaughterhouse. The men were placing bloodied carpet and materials from the abortion mill into the dumpster and looking over their shoulders to see if we were noticing. Of course. We also noted the abortion numbers were low today due to the cleanup crew inside, most probably. The last time we witnessed a massive clean up inside Hope Clinic was at least 10 years ago, where under the dark of night, a crew was power washing the walls inside this abortion mill from the blood splatter etc. We posted the article on our website, and the letter an abortion client wrote to us concerning the filthy conditions and the stench inside this abortion mill.
Thanks be to God! Danielles Story and another article Hope Clinic Taken to the Cleaners ;

We can only imagine how awful the environment and conditions are now with the numbers increasing so radically. The recently released “Gosnell” movie is an eye opener for both sides of the abortion issue. Why is the media and movie industry so silent on its premier and showing? Because they don’t want the public to know the truth. You might just change your mind on abortion. It is a factual, no gore account of just one narcissistic abortionist. Do you think Gosnell is the anomaly? NO! Gosnell’s exist wherever babies are murdered. He wasn’t convicted on the murder of one woman, or the filthy conditions, or the unlicensed, uneducated personnel performing abortions, or the lack of health department inspections and oversights, not even the narcotics flowing from this abortion mill onto the streets. Sadly, it was only after the jury of prochoice jurors viewed a picture. A picture that showed the truth. Again, no gore. Truth. Serial killer Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of murder. The same is true for Hope Clinic and the abortionists inside. It is just a matter of time. Go to gosnellmovie.com AMBA

Criminals Work Inside Hope Clinic, Granite City, IL

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 05:13:56 GMT

June 2018

Written by Angela Michael

Danyelle Hoff-Nygard, an abortion nurse inside Hope Clinic located in Granite City, Illinois, was recently caught passing herself off as a physician and writing prescriptions for narcotics for a friend at work. Danyelle Hoff-Nygard replaced former abortion mill nurse Katie Luczecky, who left suddenly last year. We told you in the past articles, the medical community considers abortion the “red light district” in healthcare and constantly draws bad elements and B rated medical workers to their grisly practices and surgical centers. The Missouri Board of Nursing recently disciplined and published the incident and censured her license to practice. This is what ends up working and murdering babies inside Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois. Most of the employees are hirelings off the streets, trained to assist in every department including abortion procedures. Real professionals . Another former abortion mill nurse, Roxanne Landman, was disciplined and had her licensed pulled and put on probation for three years. This would explain the constant turnover of abortion mill workers every two- 3 months, either they can’t find employment or the love of money, which is the root of all evil, and murdering babies draws them to Hope Clinic. Their consciences are seared to blood and gore, and inhumane treatment of those most innocent and weakest in society. What total hypocrisy in today’s current media drama with illegal immigrant children and children in the womb. Just like physicians, nurses take a solemn oath to preserve lives and to do no harm. What an oxymoron to murder babies for a living. Real nurses protect and save lives. But our ministry has exposed this hypocrisy and crimes at Hope Clinic for decades. Many abortion workers steal money, drugs or both, or steal prescription pads or write orders for pills for themselves or others inside abortion mills. Lots of crimes go on behind abortion mill doors. This bloody business is too lucrative and too much a temptation with so many narcotics and cash money laying round. We have witnessed many former employees being arrested for committing crimes inside Hope Clinic in Granite City, Il. Abortion mills are a haven for criminals and criminal activity. Everyone knows unless you live in a cave in Afghanistan, abortion mills are the most unregulated, self-policing, and lucrative industry in America. Many employees are unlicensed and performing medical procedures without proper training or oversight. It’s like the inmates are running the asylum, no consequences. In this case she was caught by hospital employees and the pharmacy. Hope Clinic is not the pristine professional heath center or its employees as it attempts to “window dress” itself to the sympathetic public and potential naïve customers. Nahum 3:1 Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!

THE LIES OF LESNOFF (formerly Kathy Sparks) MOSAIC PHC Granite City, IL.

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 05:10:10 GMT

"Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed."

March 2018

As we enter our 25th year of standing in the trenches along the frontlines of the abortion battle, it seems the deceitful way of life for con artist Kathy Lesnoff, executive director of one fake pregnancy center Mosaic Pregnancy Health Center continues. Our vital ministry began due to the fact pregnant women were being directed with business cards from Sparks/Lesnoff center to undergo abortions at Lesnoffs former job site, Hope abortion Clinic in Granite City, Illinois. We heard from other legit pregnancy centers of this travesty. We encountered pregnant women who sought help from Mosaic only to be told they had to qualify for free help and free supplies, by taking required classes at ridiculous hours and multiple days/ evenings in order to earn tickets to purchase only a layette and diapers. Many of these women didn’t have transportation or babysitters for other children in order for them to attend.

So, you understand a distressed pregnant woman coming back to Hope Clinic to get instant relief and help with her situation. I remember contacting Mosaic back in the 90’s with a girl, 17 weeks pregnant, that needed an ultrasound to convince her nothing was wrong with her baby. She promised me tearfully, if she could see her baby, she would not go through with the scheduled abortion on that cold, bleak March morning. The intake worker, “ Toni ” informed me that they were closed and to “just to let her go inside Hope Clinic it might be better especially if she was on drugs or alcohol”. I was shocked to say the least. Here I heard all this prolife rhetoric about this center only to have it dispelled. I begged and literally held onto this girl’s hand watching her slip away back into the slaughterhouse because there was no help, no medical resources on the spot to save this baby. I wept long and hard that day. I was determined that will never happen on my watch.

That was when the transformation from a simple prayer warrior went into Wonder Woman express pregnancy care “special forces”. The vison began to help EVERYONE without hurting their dignity, or making them try out for supplies and resources and most of all being a “window to the womb” by providing professional ultrasounds on the spot to abortion seeking mothers. I relied on our family, children and young adults to stand in the gap along side me and to make the trek everyday in our family van, loaded with much needed supplies and prolife literature. We have since advanced and upgraded our express mobile center through the years with a couple older R.V.’s such as our current unit equipped with supplies, literature, videos, medical equipment including our vital ultrasound machine. Our staff consists of several trained nurses, sonographers, psychologists, techs, and four volunteer physicians. We have been blessed with many volunteers and prayer warriors throughout the decades on those sullen sidewalks. We couldn’t do it without the Lord and them.

Now, as wonderful as this sounds, it has not been easy deflecting the malice and false accusations that began with our many victories and notoriety. We expected it from the abortion advocates and the abortion mill, but to our disappointment, it was coming from the green-eyed enviers. Everyone wants the credit, but no one wants to do the work. So true in our case. More surprising was it was coming from professing “ Christians ”. I can’t tell you how many times a scheduled fund raiser or banquet was sabotaged by such haters. Lesnoff and her minions hated it when a church in the Metro-east supported us, they did everything to poison them about our ministry. The pastors informed us. Why you ask? Because the prolife arena is like a large pie, picture it. And we soon found out, NO ONE wants to share a piece of that pie. They want the monopoly. At least in this area. At one time I heard from a priest to “slow down” you’re making us look bad”. How so? Because you’re doing what we should all be doing and you tell the truth.” In doing good we expose what others are doing bad.

Since our “ epiphany ”, we have seen the prolife movement and pregnancy care organizations turned into nothing more than a financial business. That’s right, it’s all about money and power. That’s why they make it so hard for a pregnant woman to receive free help. Fake prego centers make them beg or have to take classes to earn supplies that have already been donated. Or as we stated many centers are NOT prolife. They have their own agenda. Recently, a youth minister saw the Mosaic $400.000 mobile unit on a Walmart parking lot. Curious, she walked over to check it out. Two women came out to greet her. As they were bringing her inside. One woman made the comment, “Let’s get you inside so we can help you take care of that problem”. Problem? Becky thought, what problem? Becky took note of the state of the art RV as she gazed around as she had heard how nice the van was, true. Then the Mosaic C-2 mobile staff began prompting Becky into a discussion to terminate her pregnancy. Unbeknownst to Becky who didn’t even know she was expecting! The woman, Becky assumed was a medical person, then told her, “A woman your age couldn’t possibly want to bring a child into the world, we can help you with that”. Floored, Becky felt the heat go up into her face as she spoke up, “I thought ya’ll were prolife? I know a lot of people that donate to Mosaic PHC; if they knew you were trying to help me get an abortion they would not donate to you anymore”. With that she stood up and hurriedly walked out of the RV, to her car and drove off.

Folks, this is not the first case of “bait and switch” coming from Mosaic, we have experienced this with other potential clients going in that van or their offices. More lies. Frightened pregnant girls are constantly turned away from Mosaic PHC as we intercept a lot outside the abortion mill in Granite City, Illinois. After last year’s 2017 annual Mosaic PHC banquet where we protested and exposed the travesty, finally, Kathy Lesnoff moved the mobile unit out onto the streets. On two different occasions we saved babies from their scheduled abortion at Hope Clinic and sent them directly to the mobile unit. Half an hour later each pregnant girl came back angry and disappointed. Matter of fact, “ Rich ” the mobile unit driver accompanied one girl back to us and informed us, “Sorry, we have these stupid rules and we can’t help this girl.” I inquired more information and Rich told us, “they couldn’t do the ultrasound because the lady in the van was not qualified to perform one”.

We also inquired as to “where are all the sidewalk counselors Kathy Lesnoff declared via a video she taped with Daniel K. Norris 8/4/17 she had outside the abortion clinic in Granite City, as a matter of fact she stated she was out here everyday saving over 1000 babies in her mobile unit from Hope Clinic”. He scratched his head and said, “Well, that’s news to me”. One of our new prayer warriors said, “well someone needs to talk with her”. I told him,” we’ve been trying for decades, it’s useless. That van is nothing more than a photo op.”
https://www.facebook.com/danielknorris/videos/789789007867059/

More lies. We haven’t seen that $400,000.00 mobile unit for months, now. That’s right, she has several homes now. She keeps the bungalow in Granite City for “ window dressing ” purposes, but resides in Fairfax, Virginia with current hubby. Kathy just flies into the metro -east to do her annual banquet in March and collects her money. Her Granite City staff just forwards her $90,000+ salary, and throughout the year she comes around for photo-ops as she did with Daniel K. Norris recently across the street from Hope Clinic. She has never seen the pavement outside this abortion mill. More lies.

Kathy has been stealing our work, plagiarizing, impersonating and taking credit for decades, and using them for her fundraising events. More lies. Just ask Shawn Reagan.

Sadly, abortion and child sacrifice sustain itself on lies and the compassion of others. So true of the “cash cow” pregnancy centers that do very little to nothing. “Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” E. Hoffer

Through the ignorance of people, both entities thrive, because those who claimed the name of Christ refuse to know the truth, but rather believe a lie. It’s all in the packaging as to how you’re going to sell it.

Keep exposing and speaking the truth, no matter the cost,

51 CHILDREN MURDERED IN GRANITE CITY, ILLINOIS

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 04:49:23 GMT

The Acceptable and Silent Tragedy

February 18, 2018

Written by Angela Michael

In wake of the most recent massacre of children, I am reminded of the perpetual massacre that happens every day in a small steel town in Southern Illinois, known infamously as Granite City. This gritty, deteriorated town, houses the Midwest largest late term abortion mill ironically called Hope Clinic, was once known for its boom town steel mill located two blocks behind the abortion clinic, which drew families from all 50 states. The steel mill lays “idled” with a skeleton crew currently. Now, it’s the baby killing mill that draws people here in droves. The only question asked is Visa, money order or cash. You see, there are NO abortion restrictions in Illinois, as long as you have the money. Although their website states to have a driver, or that they only perform abortion up to 24 weeks, it, like other requirements are not enforced. No one is policing them. Not even the state of Illinois. Why? Because Illinois # one manufacturing product is corruption. Lawmakers and Big brother look the other way when it comes to vice or what is evil. They make a lot of money off of it. We may be the only state that’s at least eight disgraced former governors are currently in prison.

This most recent school shooting in Florida, pales in comparison to the number of children that are struck down by a hired murderer behind the purple doors inside Hope Clinic. This past Tuesday, 51 children were slain in four hours.. It’s as tragic as those lost to an AR-15 rifle at the hands of a madman on Valentine’s Day. Why is this happening? Because we have kicked God out of everything. We are so busy being politically correct and tolerable we have opened the floodgates to the devil and his workers. We allow the premeditated murders of innocent children everyday inside abortion mills without any thought. I am afraid the mindset of most teens and young adults has been solidified with violence and gore. They have grown up glorifying everything but God. It is the same tragedy played out in Florida this past week. Different weapon; same results. I have to ask, where is the outrage? Where is the protest? Yes, this was another shocking shooting, and the worst part, is there were red flags, people were coming forth and saying something to law enforcement and the FBI and yet, it appears no one pursued the concerns about this misguided individual. God is showing us that even the biggest law enforcement agency cannot stop this evil. We need God. Yes, this was premeditated by the shooter; but the same thing happens every day inside abortion mills such as Hope Clinic by the moms and dads, the abortionist, the abortion mill staff, yet this act of violence is acceptable. At Hope Clinic, this tragedy has gone on for over 44 years. Those in a moral position to speak out on the violence and atrocities sit on the sidelines in silence. Now and then, there is a shooting and there will be a flash in the pan, a headline in the paper, or evening news, so to say, then like anything else it dies down and the outrage, and goes away. It’s acceptable, the evil and violence that roams in society. We have become calloused to it. What do you think God is saying? I think He is mourning and weeping the tragic deaths of these children; just as He does with every child murdered in abortion mills. They are innocent too, and taken so violently, by those who are supposed to be their fiercest protectors, their mothers, their fathers.

Can it be as the Bible warns: “what we sow, so shall we reap”. This is what a godless society looks like. Where there is no respect for innocent life in the womb, when we put a price tag on life, how can there be respect for others at any stage of life? You didn’t have mass shootings in the 40’s or 1950’s. You didn’t have abortion massacres either. And there were guns, big ones, little ones, on the streets. But we didn’t have a depraved and evil, promiscuous society as we do now. Yes, there needs to be control. “God control” . We need to repent and turn to God, only then can He heal our land, and society. II Chronicles 7:14 We have been wayward children far too long. No, I don’t personally think just anyone should be able to own a machine gun, or automatic-powered rifles. But, nor do I think it’s acceptable for weapons such as Sopher forceps, Crainioclast, decapitators, curettes, dilators, suction hoses, in the hands of those sworn to “first, to do no harm” . There has to be consequences to actions. We need a God-fearing people once again. It may take children to rebuke lawmakers for more gun control; but it will take children to march and protest those same children being murdered behind abortion mill walls and to be as outraged as I am to these senseless killings that go on every day in Granite City, Illinois. This is a community tragedy alright. We are reaping the violence we have sown.

Keep speaking and exposing the truth, no matter the cost,

Mosaic PHC Lies Exposed Again!

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 04:46:59 GMT

"Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed."

2017

What do Joel Osteen & Kathy Sparks Lesnoff (Mosaic PHC) have in common? INTEGRITY. Instead of "people serving" they are "self-serving". Both are wealthy, both are loaded with resources, they have multiple homes, numerous vacations and pricey speaking engagements, spa visits, etc. They take in a lot of money, both are tax exempt. Osteen has come under fire for his lack of empathy and answering the call in his own hometown where an ongoing crisis has has occurred. Mosaic exec director, has perpetually reacted the same for decades, that is until human pressure makes them both act and they go into damage control. They drag close comrades to help clean up their PR mess. Base supporters and Tyler Perry for Osteen. Some GC base supporters and Chesterfield MO., rich supporters and "in denial", gutless pastors. Oh Osteen / Sparks are "charmers". Syrup-y, sweet prayers that make one want to gag. They hold a Bible in one hand and a dagger in the other. This is why common people hate the religious people, they know how "fake" they are. Osteen is dealing with a tragic flood. We in GC are dealing with a fake prego center and director who boldly lies in the camera claiming she is out in front of Hope Clinic, her former job, and she has many sidewalk counselors out there every day, and they saved over 1000 babies in the van. When in truth, her feet have never touched the sidewalks where over 400, 000 babies have been killed. Some have been referred for abortions from Mosaic PHC and she has the gall to say she is "prolife". But, there is one ministry that has answered the call for 25 yrs. outside this ab mill in GC. Pictured are a man from AR who saved his late term baby this past Friday. SV director & prayer warrior speaking with Hispanic male who brought woman, two saves at different times throughout morning (Man with cane & daughter) Male with long dreads and red shirt woman walking in alley from GA. And we save the best for last. ALL the Mosaic counselors on the sidewalks. Yes, twice a month the $400,000 Mosaic van sits idly across from the ab mill, no activity. But on this Friday, after sitting quietly for 3 hrs. the diesel engine started, and a young bearded male began driving by the ab mill. God told me to gently confront Mosaic bus and I stepped out onto the street flagging it down. With several onlookers and prayer warriors watching and listening, he stopped and rolled down the window I looked up at this radiant faced male, "John" I think he said, the engine was so loud, I asked him "Excuse me, but where is Kathy Sparks and all the Mosaic sidewalk counselors? He replied" We don't have any". I was a little stunned he would admit that, I'm used to being lied too with various excuses. I proceeded to tell him, "Well, Sparks videotaped an interview outside here on Aug. 4th (Daniel Norris "Trail of Fire Ministries" ) and she claimed she was here every day along with all her Mosaic sidewalk counselors and that they have saved over 1000 babies in this van". "He replied, "Well, that's news to me". I told him "Thank you", and he replied, "Have a blessed day" and drove off. Nice guy, another unaware Mosaic paid employee. It was refreshing to hear the truth for once. The point is both charismatics are using deception for their means. One is leading the church to hell and tickling their ears, and the other is giving the church a false sense that we are stopping abortion by giving money to prego centers and fleecing the flock; in truth, if only the church would show up outside these ab mills, they would close up! In total 19 babies killed GA, AR, IN, MO, IL 3 babies saved. We overcome evil by doing good. This was more confirmation. "Truth will ultimately prevail where there are pains to bring it to light”. -G.Washington

The Stories Women Tell and Don't Tell

April 7, 2017

Written by Angela Michael

Our day began earlier outside this notorious abortion mill with a large group of students joining us for a prayer vigil. Most of the abortion clients were already inside and a few more trickled in during our vigil. We noticed, both abortionist Erin King and Yogendra Shah were inside this day. The students noticed how late term or advanced several of the abortion bound clients were and called over “we had other options for them”. After they went inside. We prayed and did a Jericho march around the slaughterhouse Then, it was question and answer time. For a lot of the students, this was their first visit to this late term abortion mill. We filled them in on our 24 years of ministry and pioneering the ultrasound van movement. We shared our beginnings and our victories and babies we have saved and adopted and helped other couples adopt. We gave the daily operations of this Midwest largest late term abortion mill, how we personally know the abortionist and their history. “ Unfortunately, the Roe V Wade decision was based on a lie and the abortion industry continues to thrive on lies.” Hope Clinic” just the name of this abortion mill is false. Killing a baby is murder. But in order to sell a product, it’s all about how you present it. The students learned a lot this day and were impressed. They took a tour of our ultrasound van and saw pictures of babies saved through the years outside this abortion mill. Questions kept coming. We told them the down side of our witnessing. Conveniently, the abortion mill doesn’t want you to see or know a lot of their clients are leaving Hope Clinic in ambulances. “Botched abortions” happen far too often. It’s just having witnesses there to catch them and document. One student asked about lawsuits, “Yes, they happened a lot and Hope Clinic fears them, because it makes them look bad, they want people to think that they are offering women “healthcare”. Now this is the gross part I told them, “when you dismember a baby the size of most of these abortion clients, it will take days to kill them.” I described what a D&E abortion is and how dangerous it is to the pregnant mother, and all the risks the abortion mill staff doesn’t tell women. “Look at all the out of state plates”, I pointed. “Missouri, due to good safe Yes, most are from abortion restrictions, sadly, they just keep crossing the river and killing their babies and dumping them in Granite City, Illinois.” Little did we know then that after our departure exactly what I warned of was about to come true this very day. I ended by commenting it should tell you something when the hospital across the street, Gateway Regional, is now reporting to the state of Illinois any abortion complications coming from Hope Clinic, and in turn Hope Clinic has to keep the charade going so they try and bypass the 9-11 system and hire their own ambulance firm to take bleeding, hemorrhaging clients over the river to St. Louis, Missouri to have emergency surgery to save their lives. It’s a cover up. “ Exactly ”, I told the student. These are the stories Hope Clinic don’t want women to tell. I then glanced over to the entrance of this abortion mill and recognized a large woman and a male accompanying her. “Oh, my she changed her hair color”. I called her by name, “ Mercedes ”, she looked over “ Yes ”., it was a frequent flyer. She uses the abortion mill as her method of birth control. In the docudrama, her hair was blond. Today it was blue. WOW!

So many lies. The students prayed and hugged and presented us with a donation and praised our ministry. “You’re awesome”. Thank you, Lord. Around 1:00 p.m. abortion mill employees came running out with a client shrouded in sheets, they were rushing her over to the emergency room of Gateway hospital only feet from the abortion mill. This must be really bad, normally they call Abbott ambulance service and haul them to St. Louis, so no one is aware of their negligence. One of the Hope Clinic workers was telling the injured client, “it will only be a ten-minute ride over to St. Louis”. The girl was heard moaning. We thought “they’re that desperate, they don’t want her dying on their property, so try and stabilize her at Gateway”. A short time later an ambulance pulled in the emergency room bay and the injured girl was loaded in the ambulance and with lights and sirens, which is not normal protocol for Hope Clinic, they then rushed off towards St. Louis, Missouri heading for Barnes Jewish where both abortionist Yogendra Shah and Erin King have admitting privileges and they “patch their injured clients up and get them back on the highway where they are no longer their problem”. That is, if they survive their botched abortion. A few minutes later, Hope Clinic director, Rasheda Pippens came across the street from the emergency room pushing an empty wheel chair back inside the abortion mill. This like so many others, are the “ABORTION: The Stories Women Tell” ….and don’t tell. A Hope Clinic farce. You really need to fact check those stories and those employees.. Erin King, you may pour perfume on a pig, but it still smells like a pig.

Hope Clinic Butchers Another Late Term Abortion

MOSAIC Pregnancy Health Clinic Offers to Help Woman “take care of her problem” and abort her baby

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 04:39:02 GMT

2017

Written by Angela Michael

1 Timothy 6:10

For decades now, our ministry has been exposing this “fake pregnancy center” that sits comfortably on the edge of Granite City and Pontoon Beach, Illinois, raking in millions of dollars to save babies and help women, supposedly. In our early days we would catch young girls coming directly from Mosaic with referral cards to this abortion clinic. That’s what got our pregnancy/ ultrasound ministry started. The fact that this pregnancy center discriminates pregnant women in need of help, and stands by their policies that make it harder for pregnant women to receive assistance, is appalling. The latest fiasco is their C-2 Mosaic mobile unit. For the past two years, it sat parked, with various excuses given. After last year’s expose ‘outside Mosaic’s annual prolife banquet, Kathy Sparks Lesnoff finally, moved her $400.000 state of the art ultrasound unit onto the street and parked on a couple strip malls. Now, if we could get her paid mobile unit staff to get out of the van, they might have some clients. It is a work in progress.

Other prayer warriors have come to stand with our ministry and visited Mosaic’s website. One was a woman from Missouri whose father is a pastor of a large non-denominational church in the Metro east. She came to help us save babies scheduled to be aborted and she came to inform us of this proabortion pregnancy centers website. After offering to volunteer for Mosaic and never being called her curiosity got the best of her and she went to Mosaic’s webpage. Several webpages with different names. After reading a few paragraphs she was enraged. “They refer to the baby as a “ fetus ” and various other legalisms which is very confusing to a woman in need of help, she said. “Carrie” then went to another webpage regarding their C-2 mobile unit, where a sentence read” for the client to schedule an appointment to determine the viability of the possible fetus” only after confirmation of a positive urine test. Nowhere on Mosaic’s webpages does it mention “ baby ”. It refers to a pregnancy as a “ fetus ”. Who does that, claiming to be prolife? Everyone educated in abortion knows the word “fetus” refers to a baby scheduled to be aborted. “Carrie” even went as far as to phone Mosaic and speak to a worker who defended their policies and the information they claim on their websites. “Carrie” went on to share with the woman on the other side that she knows pregnant girls who have received more assistance from an adoption agency than this pregnancy center.” The conversation got pretty heated, with the worker hanging up on “Carrie”. “Carrie” then informed her father of how prochoice Mosaic’s websites are and the run around she went through over the phone with the worker, and not to support this prochoice pregnancy center anymore. (Editor’s note: Mosaic is constantly changing its website due to our reporting and of course several aforementions have been changed since this claim ) Here is the paragraph from their website that talks about the fetus:

“Since up to 1 in 4 pregnancies will end in a natural miscarriage, it is important for you to determine and confirm that the fetus is in the uterus and has a heartbeat. (Editors note: Now, they are physicians?)

That is until recently, Mosaic website states, “ We do not refer or provide abortion services”. We once again were contacted by a staunchly prolife woman, who was on her way to do some shopping at a metro east store. On their parking lot towards the highway she noticed the huge Mosaic C-2 mobile unit. This occurred on December 14, 2016.

Here is the statement given to us by a woman who contacted us after being horrified when she went to visit Mosaic P.H.C.

“In mid-December I was going to Wal-Mart in Collinsville and saw the Mosaic Pregnancy Center sonogram van in the parking lot and thought I would go and check it out because I had heard so much about how nice it was. As I entered, I was greeted by a lady and she said to me " I will get the nurse to help take care of your problem". I thought to myself, what kind of problem do I have? When it was time for the nurse, it dawned on me they think I'm pregnant. When the nurse came she said “Oh we can help you with your problem”. I asked her what problem? She said “a woman of your age doesn't want another child”. I said” I'm not pregnant and I definitely wasn't here for an abortion… I just wanted to check out this van and I didn't think you referred abortions”. She said “only in certain situations”. I was shocked because I have been told that under no situations did they refer girls for abortion.

Becky Bauerle

Thank you, Becky, for contacting us and helping expose this travesty. Becky is a powerful youth leader in the Catholic Diocese and has personally contacted others in the diocese to let them know this pregnancy center is pro-abortion, and her experience.

Sadly, Becky, Carrie and others are catching onto this prolife racket. Unfortunately, the majority of pregnancy centers of the prolife movement are nothing more than a financial business. “CASH-COWS” is how we refer to them. They reach into the deep pockets of the churches especially the Catholic ones, and yet they keep at bay their volunteers and donors of the Catholic faith. Catholic volunteer/workers cannot counsel pregnant girls at Mosaic PHC. They promote themselves as helping save so many when in reality, they help very few.

Why would anyone believe this center’s claims that they are, saving babies with their donations when they are referring pregnant women for abortions? Surely, church leaders and their congregations must be ignorant of this troubling fact; otherwise how could they continue to support these proabortion pregnancy centers? And, to make matters worse; this disease is spreading in the by-state area.

The Roe of infamous Roe v Wade decision dies

February 18, 2017

Sad day, as we learned Miss Norma McCorvey, (the Roe in Roe v Wade) had died. We knew Miss Norma personally, she was a sweetheart. We first met her at a National O.S.A. event in Dallas, TX. One day, she tearfully shared with me, " there wasn’t a night she didn’t forget she was the reason so many babies are being murdered". I don’t think she ever forgave herself, even though she repented, she came to the faith, and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. From that day forward, she worked tirelessly and actively towards exposing the lies of the abortion industry and overturning Roe V Wade . Heaven has gained another angel. " Precious in the sight of the Lord , is the death of one of His saints" Psalms.116:15 #roenomore #wonbylove

Women March to Kill... Gentle Christians Save Babies

Roe vs. Wade 44 years later

2017

Written by Angela Michael

Proverbs 30:20 “This is the way of an adulteress woman. She eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I’ve done nothing wrong”.

Greetings in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the year of 2017.

Saddest thing I have ever seen, is to watch thousands of women march to be able to murder their babies throughout all nine months. Is it any wonder why our society is so violent and there is no respect for anyone’s life? Unless you’re a puppy.

Everyone loves puppies and would fight tooth and nail to rescue them. But, with human life there is a double standard. It has just gotten worse throughout the years. Unborn babies are an endangered species. Truly, society is reaping what it has sown for 44 years. However, little victories still continue through our ministry. How appropriate, the day before the disdainment of Roe v. Wade,
a baby scheduled to die was saved.

Two little old men stood outside the “seedy’’ looking small building. It was in such disrepair. One ‘’Francis’’ informed us of the routine of this mill. We read the reviews and they were pretty bad. We were informed ‘’No one else comes to stand and pray’’, Francis told us. “They kill between 15-20 babies, 5 days a week,” he added. Just as we were finishing up and sharing our mobile pregnancy outreach ministry, two girls came out and sat in their car, talking. Our youngest children accompanied us this warm day. They sat there listening to our gentle pleas.

Our daughter begged to go talk with the two girls. As we watched, I couldn’t get the numbers, 60, 000,000 million of babies, murdered by abortion out of my head, since 1973. And, we have personally had to deal with those post- abortive women that have been betrayed and exploited by the abortion industry.

Sad, I think it is clear the abortion industry is quaking and this pro-abortion women’s march is a pathetic and desperate act on their behalf. This wasn’t a march for women, it was an anti-Trump temper tantrum. Via, the Democratic party and Planned Parenthood. George Soros funded over $90,000,000 to the protestors. They realize with the recent inauguration of President Trump, the “free ride” so to say”, is over. Whoever this administration picks to fill in the Supreme Court vacancy, also brings the abortion industry concern. Americans are waking up to the lies of the feminist pro-abortion movement. The Democratic party needs to get over it. Trump won!

Just then our little girl gingerly walked up to the car. She greeted the girls sitting inside. She handed the driver a brochure and kept talking as we looked on. A few minutes later, our daughter skipped back to us smiling and told us, “The lady is going to keep her baby!” Praise God! The driver stuck her head out and confirmed to us as we watched them pull off the parking lot, and thanked us. The old man smiled big, and asked us to “please come back and help him’’. Francis and the other man had never heard of a ministry like ours, and with today’s success, they were encouraged. Our prayer is for more prayer warriors not only to march for life in D.C., but where little children are dying every day; at your local abortion mills.

Just think, a baby that was scheduled to die is now saving others. Babies are full of endless possibilities. You don’t know what they will grow up to be or do. But, they need the same chance your mothers gave you.

Midwest’s Largest Late Term Abortion Mill is on the Market

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 04:26:20 GMT

November 2016

Written by Angela Michael

Possible buyers from out of state have been paraded in and out of this notorious late term abortion facility for the past few weeks. Today, it was a three some from Tennessee. Last week a realtor from Arkansas was courting Hope Clinic operations manager and abortionist, Erin King. Former executive director of Hope Clinic, Sally Burgess, was listed as the LLC manager agent for this PTAC. You see, Abortionist, Hector Zevallos, is still the owner. He and his current wife reside in California and operate several mills along the coast. Zevallos brought abortion to Granite City , Illinois, in 1974, telling the Sisters of Divine Providence, who ran the former St. Elizabeth’s hospital across from the abortion mill, that this would be a health clinic for women. The word abortion was never mentioned. Years later the nuns realized what was taking place, but did nothing to stop it. They depended on abortion money to keep the Catholic hospital afloat. One day we confronted Sr. Mary Thomas, former CEO of St. Elizabeth’s, asking why she was allowing the chief abortionist of Hope Clinic for Women LTD, Yogendra Shah, to be the head of obstetrics inside the former Catholic hospital, while at the same time crossing the street to murder babies? She answered, “How do you expect us to pay our bills?” In shock we answered, “Sister, don’t you believe in Jesus? Let Him worry about your bills.”

Now, it seems Zevallos has been fighting health issues and, being in his eighties, he wants to unload this real estate. Both Hope Clinic abortionists only lease the abortion mill building to do their grisly trade, where over 400,000 have been killed.

Maybe we could find a rich philanthropist to purchase the building and turn what the devil has meant for harm, into something good. Better yet, since Granite City has so many prolife churches and pastors, let’s pool our money and really do something to stop abortion in Granite City; let’s purchase the abortion mill.

It seems for years, now and then, we hear the rumor, “Have you heard, Hope Clinic is closing?” Well, contrary to these constant rumors, Hope Clinic is simply for sale, that is, unless the right person buys it. :) Still, it is no excuse for the apathy towards witnessing and praying outside this abortion mill. Granite City, this is your fight, you do have a dog in it. Listen, this is God’s war; He only asks that we show up for the battle. And, in closing, if you feel led, just cut the check. :)

“The kindest acts of the wicked are cruel” Proverbs 12:10

We did not want to give credence to this abortion documentary but we felt the truth needs to be exposed as the progressives always twist it to their liking. It’s all about the “packaging” when it comes to sales and it’s no coincidence this docudrama is being released on the anniversary of Roe V Wade, 2017. The abortion industry is struggling and tarnished with recent Planned Parenthood scandals and cover ups. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/what-its-like-to-provide-abortions-where-access-is-almost-nonexistent_us_57ab79b8e4b0ba7ed23ebd23

Hope Clinic advertises for us: This should tell you how effective our ministry is http://www.hopeclinic.com/what-to-expect/

Arrival

Park in front of Hope Clinic for Women, or if that lot is full, in the back.
Unfortunately, on most weekends there are protesters on the sidewalks. They do not know you and the circumstances of your life, so do your best to ignore their harassment. Please do not speak to them or take anything from them. It is illegal for them to touch you, block your path, or move onto the clinic property. If you believe they have done something illegal, please report it to the guard. Some women wear hoodies and headphones to block out the noise. On Saturdays, we have clinic escorts wearing purple vests who help shield you from the protesters as you enter the clinic. The ultrasound van on the street belongs to the protesters, not the clinic, so don't be fooled into going there.
Move as quickly as possible to the guard's desk by the front door.

Erin King and Hope Clinic mislead people and want them to think there are no ‘’protesters’’ that are actually there to help women and their babies. They only interviewed a few screamers that come once a month on Saturdays. We are the only ministry that is constantly out there for the past 24 years with our mobile pregnancy unit, complete with ultrasound, testing, baby supplies, food, clothing, shelters, resources, physician referrals and prenatal care follow-up and adoption services. Yes, we also take those unplanned pregnancies and adopt them. That is why Erin King didn’t interview our ministry for her docudrama. We would have exposed more of the abortion industries lies to sell abortions. In this trailer Erin King complains of “protestors” telling her they are killing babies. What is not true about that? What else is growing inside the mothers’ womb? Erin King also doesn’t like the fact that we have pointed out “she is hurting women.” She is. When another private ambulance, Abbott, shows up and hauls another abortion client over to Missouri--not the hospital sitting 75 ft. across from the doors of Hope Clinic--it’s not because the abortion client is doing well, it’s because Erin, you have injured another abortion client. That is why we have documented those incidents and we have pictures of ambulances. Again, this is why Erin King didn’t interview our ministry. Hope Clinic only wants women to think that loonies are standing out in front of the abortion facility.

Woman killed by abortion

These are the stories that Hope Clinic and Erin King don’t want women to tell:

Let Them Die

Dr. Erin King Botches Another Abortion

Hope Clinic Butchers Another Pregnant Woman

Young Woman Dies Following Late-Term Abortion

Hope Clinic Butchers Another Late-Term Abortion

Another Pregnant Woman Butchered at Hope Clinic

Hope Clinic in Granite City Horror Story

Another Butchered Woman at Hope Clinic

Arkansas Rapist Caught

Just to list a few. There are more. There are many stories on our website of abortion bound clients that stopped their scheduled abortions due to our presence and came out to consult and confirm with our ministry. Many of our adoptions walked back out of Hope Clinic and into our arms for real help and real hope. We have personally adopted babies that were scheduled to be murdered. Yes, Erin, it’s murder to take an innocent life; and you do it every day and you receive money for abortion services. Nothing inside Hope Clinic, like many abortion mills, comes free. You pay now and you pay later. But the abortion staff won’t tell women that. Why is it the abortion mill doesn’t help post-abortive women when they are suffering the side effects of abortion trauma? Maybe because it may make them look bad. You see, Erin King, like most abortionists, want to convey the message that abortion is a reasonable solution to a problem. Erin King, like other abortionists, refer to this packaging as “healthcare.” So, this evil act upon an innocent human being is acceptable.

In all my years of being out in front of this abortion mill in Granite City, Illinois, I have suffered through the worst weather conditions and the rudest, crudest behavior and physical, and verbal attacks from clients, workers, and passersby. But, I have also heard the stories from thousands of women on why they find themselves in a place they should not be, and for some it is truly heartbreaking and we understand why many feel this may be an answer, but, we tell them we have another. And, sometimes, there are days, when all you can do, like I have done many times, is just listen, and offer to pray or hold them before they walk into Hope Clinic. And yes, I will admit I’m very disappointed with the lack of free on the spot help from these prolife agencies that do nothing more than collect money and take a salary, but do very little to help distraught, struggling pregnant women. There appears to be corruption in everything nowadays, but we’re not all that way. And let’s face it; most knowledgeable people know that abortion is not healthcare; it’s birth control. The underreporting to the State of Illinois is obscene. On far too many occasions, Hope Clinic does not report full income from surgical abortions on yearly reports, or their census being accurate as far as ages, residency, abortion complication transfers. etc. No one is enforcing state laws inside Hope Clinic. They police themselves, due to the irresponsibility and dysfunction of Illinois regulators. The tragic stories of child rapists coming to Hope Clinic to force young girls to undergo abortions to get rid of the evidence are never told by Erin King .But our ministry will tell you and we have documented several cases and in turn helping law enforcement capture and prosecute these criminals.

There are good reports and many thanks for our ministry being there you may view on our website. This is just one.

Thanks Be to God

This is why Erin King wants to feel good about murdering babies. When Hope Clinic has to hire their own private ambulance service(Abbott) and not dial 911 to transfer abortion clients over state lines after an abortion procedure, instead of the hospital sitting a few feet across the street from Hope Clinic’s doors, this should tell you and women something. Maybe that abortion is not safe. Maybe that Erin King is trying to cover up her surgical negligence. These are the stories women need to tell.

But, how many “botched abortions” transfers from Hope abortion clinic will it take for the State of Missouri to have oversight or investigate? If Illinois has to mandatorily report abortion complications from Hope Clinic, why don’t Missouri hospitals?

This is why “abortion,” the most unregulated and lucrative business, needs policing and a good house cleaning. It just makes sense. We don’t allow people to do their own appendectomies at a kitchen table. We don’t allow cupcake bakers to operate from their homes without inspections and oversight Why are we allowing an abortion mill to perform invasive surgical procedures on women who suffer “life threatening” complications by negligent abortionists who then proceed to cover up their “dirty deeds” in another state , over and over again? And where ‘o where is the media and camera crew then? How many more women need to be butchered inside Hope Clinic before Missouri/ Illinois authorities investigate? Back alley abortion has not ended; it just costs more and the abortionist comes through the front door. These are the stories women tell to our ministry.

“Nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; Nor has ANYTHING been SECRET, but that it WOULD COME to LIGHT..” Mark 4:22

UPDATE: At this posting, another out of state law enforcement official has contacted our ministry with another serial rapist with multiple charges pending as I write. This detective was searching the web and came upon our website and the infamous “Child Predator Paradise “also known as HOPE CLINIC where sexual predators bring or force young girls to get rid of the incriminating evidence. This abortion mill is full of evil. It attracts evil and it destroys lives. These are the stories, that NEED to be told.

40 DAYS FOR LIFE GRANITE CITY, ILLINOIS “PAY TO PRAY SCAM”

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 04:11:54 GMT

September 28 - November 6, 2016

Let me first start off by admitting we fell for this scam several years ago; actually paid $600.00 for three campaigns until the truth knocked us over. Several people told me, " don’t give them money". "It’s ridiculous". Priest and pastors both said “don’t do it.” You see, our ministry and a few volunteers, have been standing outside the Midwest’s largest late term abortion mill equipped with an ultrasound van / mobile pregnancy center for over two decades. We NEVER charged prayer warriors a fee to do what God has already ordained the Church of Jesus Christ to do, but that is exactly what this charlatan organization does. (read the following article) Pay to Pray Scam . Every campaign or group hosting this event has to pay $200.00 dollars to be a part of the national campaign each time. You get nothing, no posters, no banners, no signs. You have to pay for everything. It’s a money maker for David Bereit ($130,000) and Shawn Carney($124,000) . Then we found out the salaries these two pay themselves according to 2014 IRS statements. Unbelievable! Then we learned that the Coalition for Life president Brian Westbrook is doing the same thing; paying himself a hefty salary to head this event up in St. Louis, Missouri, outside Planned Parenthood, while the old timers and veteran prolifers that started prayer vigils outside the abortion clinic in St Louis don’t get squat. It’s sickening that corruption has permeated the prolife movement, but it has. 40 Days for Life goes hand and hand with “cash cow pregnancy” centers. It’s a fact that the prolife movement of today has turned into a “money pit,” with perpetual fundraising. It’s a financial business. I’ve heard from many good hearted prolife people who receive constant mailings and emails from 40 Days, asking for donations for matching funds to pay their salaries etc. NONE of this money goes directly to save a baby from abortion. Sure, it is always good to get prayerful people around an abortion site, but to have to pay? It’s a racket, just like Mosaic Pregnancy & Health Centers . Understand, their feet have never seen the concrete outside Hope Clinic, but for this campaign, they plan on being there, why? Answer: they have to look prolife to others to keep raking in the donations to pay their staff and Kathy (Sparks) Lesnoff’s salary( approx.$90,000). She pays her unnamed staff $261,000. She took in half a million in revenue for pregnancy counseling and so called abstinence programs. This is a racket! By doing our ministry for over 23 years, it has exposed Mosaic and we have pushed them finally onto the streets of Granite City, where they should have been twenty years ago; not picking and choosing which pregnancies are worthy, but actually helping ALL without making mothers “qualify” for help.
Another concern is 40 Days wants you to think babies are only aborted 40 days, twice a year. To the contrary; babies in Granite City Illinois are being murdered every week. Where is 40 Days the other 280 days of the year? That question was put to us by a fellow prolifer who travels with a church group every month to be outside Hope Clinic, and he added that 40 Days does not believe in the graphic signs, but this “reality” of abortion has saved a lot of babies outside Hope Clinic due to the truth of what abortion looks like. It’s a fact. Just ask Father Frank Pavone director of Priests for Life, about graphic signs. I, like other prolifers are disappointed that the Springfield Diocese is propping up 40 Days or Brian Westbrook who pays himself approx. $80,000, for doing what exactly?? Bishop Paprocki, whom we have been very respectful and cordial to, is a once a year pilgrim outside Hope Clinic and he, like his “once a year wonders” so to say, will pray the rosary and march one time a year to look good for the photo op. They want to be with the “cool” people. They are not there to stop one baby from being aborted. Their bodies aren’t bruised and bloodied on the battlefield. No dirt under their nails. God has shown us the way to fight abortion, and bring it to an end; it’s by being faithful; one baby at a time. It’s not up to these “prolife leeches” that have tainted the movement, and turned it into financial gain. God can end abortion at any moment, but He is waiting for the Church of Jesus Christ to show up and to be faithful to His word. No one should have to pay money to pray. Do it for free like we have and for the right reasons. Not only have babies been saved through our vital ministry, but we have adopted babies and helped infertile couples adopt babies that were scheduled to die. Can 40 Days for Life or any pregnancy center say the same? Let your walk be your talk.

Isaiah 1:2-15 " When you spread out your hands in prayer I will hide my eyes from you. Even if you offer many prayers I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood;

Keep speaking the truth, no matter the cost,

Dr. Erin King “botches another abortion” at Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 04:08:45 GMT

August 6, 2016

Written by Angela Michael

Another late term baby killed and mother butchered at Midwest’s largest late term abortion mill. That’s two women in one month injured by the same abortionist. Where is the outrage? Where is the investigation?

“Nothing hidden, except to be revealed, nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light” Mark 4:22

Another late term mother, another Black American woman, arrived in a Missouri car at 8:00 a.m. and left in a private ambulance #920(Abbott) at 2:50 p.m. She was covered in a white sheet and transported in critical condition over states lines to St. Louis, Missouri, where Barnes Jewish Hospital continues to cover up the “back alley” abortions coming from Hope Clinic in Granite City. A male driver followed the ambulance in their vehicle. Now one has to ask themselves, why is this abortion mill bypassing the 911 system for emergency response to this facility? What are they hiding? Why is Hope Clinic transporting injured women to St. Louis when Gateway Regional Hospital sits less than 75 feet across the street? Where is the transparency if this abortion facility is providing good healthcare?

Now, this is two botched abortions that we have caught in one month. How many more go on without witnesses? Where is the Department of Professional Regulation in Illinois? Why aren’t they investigating this abortionist and pulling her license? If this were a veterinarian clinic, they would have been shut down overnight. Where is the outrage when it comes to abortion and “dirty docs” ? Like everything else, corruption runs amok in this deplorable state.

Erin King, the abortionist, goes before TV cameras and states "abortion is necessary and she needs to perform more" and to stop regulating it; all the while this abortionist and abortion mill bypasses a hospital right across the street and uses its private ambulance to transport injured women so that there is no trail. This should concern everybody! Oh, the gross hypocrisy of the abortion empire! Abortionists are bottom feeders; their gods are greed & money. They also are the biggest hypocrites when they speak of women and empowerment. They are shameless opportunists making money off unfortunate situations, and betrayers of the sacred Hippocratic Oath. www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=20909 Abortion goes against every medical ethic taught. In particular, the oath states, “I must not play God”.

When abortionist Erin King wakes up each morning, kisses her baby goodbye, and takes a Soper forceps in one hand and a suction hose in the other to terminate an unborn baby’s life inside Hope Clinic, I’d say that’s playing a role never intended for a mere human.

This is why “abortion” the most unregulated and lucrative business needs policing and a good house cleaning. It just makes sense. We don’t allow people to do their own appendectomies at a kitchen table. We don’t allow cupcake bakers to operate from their homes without inspections and oversight, why are we allowing an abortion mill to perform invasive surgical procedures on women who suffer “life threatening” complications by negligent abortionist’s ,then proceed to cover up their “dirty deeds” in another state , over and over again.? And where ‘o where are the media and camera crew then? How many more women need to be butchered inside Hope Clinic before Missouri/ Illinois authorities investigate? Back alley abortion has not ended. It just cost more and the abortionist comes through the front door.

She had been inside since 8:00 a.m. That's five hours she was left to bleed out. Only 18 clients today , and several were from the day before, indicting late term. Three cars were left on the parking lot, two were from the day before. One, was the injured woman’s car . They covered her up in a black sheet so no one could view another "botched abortion". Last documented butchered abortion patient, was April 16, 2016. But abortionist Erin King says "she needs to kill more babies" abortionist don’t need oversight or to be regulated. They police themselves.. Well, they might have just killed yet another woman in Granite City, Illinois. They rushed the motionless woman over to Barnes -Jewish hospital . pictured on left is a recent rebuke, in St. Louis, Missouri which covers up the gross negligence and malpractice at the hands of Hope Clinic and their butchers. This couldn’t have happened at a busier weekend as we celebrate the birthday of our Nation, many people are gone or busy with week end plans. Today, aging abortionist 74 year old Yogendra Shah killed this woman's late term baby and he may have killed this woman. More info & pictures to come. ‪#‎LETTHEMDIE

“LET THEM DIE”!

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 04:01:08 GMT

Supreme Court allows substandard unregulated abortion clinics to stay open.

June 27, 2016

Forward by Angela Michael

It seems the Supreme Court is saying we don’t care if abortion is not safe or regulated, just let them have their abortions. This appears to be a big set- back for women’s healthcare. Instead of making abortion clinics “safer’, this decision of unregulated, less than standard conditions and lack of ambulatory surgical centers that are equipped for abortion complications, will only jeopardize the treatment and safety of women. We have witnessed many “botched abortions” at Hope Clinic, in Granite City, Illinois, alone.

If abortion is legal, shouldn’t it be safe? We regulate lemonade stands better than a life-threatening surgical procedure. Just ask Tonya Reeves, Lakisha Wilson, Jennifer Morebelli, Marie Cardamone etc. Back alley abortion has not ended with the inception of “legal abortion”, they just cost more. Maybe if enough women continue to die or be maimed, “common sense” will trump a woman’s right to abortion in “back alley conditions”. She thinks she is ending a pregnancy in safe medical facility, when in fact, she may be ending her life. We don’t allow patients to do appendectomies at their kitchen table, why are we subjecting pregnant women to abortion clinics that are filthy, unlicensed, untrained staff and sub-standard medical conditions?

According to NYTimes:

The Supreme Court struck down Texas’s widely replicated regulation

of abortion clinics Monday in the court's biggest abortion case in nearly a quarter century.

The justices voted 5-3 in favor of Texas clinics that had argued the regulations were a thinly veiled attempt to make it harder for women to get an abortion in the nation's second-most populous state.

Justice Stephen Breyer's majority opinion for the court held that the regulations are medically unnecessary and unconstitutionally limit a woman's right to an abortion.

Texas had argued that its 2013 law and subsequent regulations were needed to protect women's health. The rules required doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and forced clinics to meet hospital-like standards for outpatient surgery.

Breyer wrote that "the surgical-center requirement, like the admitting privileges requirement, provides few, if any, health benefits for women, poses a substantial obstacle to women seeking abortions and constitutes an 'undue burden' on their constitutional right to do so."

Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan joined Breyer.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented.

Thomas wrote that the decision "exemplifies the court's troubling tendency 'to bend the rules when any effort to limit abortion, or even to speak in opposition to abortion, is at issue.'" Thomas was quoting an earlier abortion dissent from Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February.

Abortion providers said the rules would have cut the number of abortion clinics in the state by three-fourths if they had been allowed to take full effect.

When then-Gov. Rick Perry signed the law in 2013, there were about 40 clinics throughout the state. That number dropped to under 20 and would have been cut in half again if the law had taken full effect, the clinics said.

Texas is among 10 states with similar admitting privileges requirements, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights. The requirement is in effect in most of Texas, Missouri, North Dakota and Tennessee. It is on hold in Alabama, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.

The hospital-like outpatient surgery standards are in place in Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and it is blocked in Tennessee and Texas, according to the center, which represented the clinics in the Texas case.

Texas passed a broad bill imposing several abortion restrictions in 2013. Texas clinics sued immediately to block it claiming it impermissibly interfered with a woman's constitutional right to an abortion. The clinics won several favorable rulings in a federal district court in Texas. But each time, the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the state, at first allowing challenged provisions to take effect and then upholding the law with only slight exceptions.

The Supreme Court allowed the admitting privileges requirement to take effect in most of the state, but put the surgical center provision on hold pending the court's resolution of the case.

The justices split largely along liberal-conservative lines in their emergency orders, with the court's conservative justices voting repeatedly to let the law be enforced.

Separate lawsuits are pending over admitting-privileges laws in Louisiana and Mississippi, the other states covered by the 5th circuit. The laws are on hold in both states, and a panel of federal appellate judges has concluded the Mississippi law probably is unconstitutional because it would force the only abortion clinic in the state to close.

A separate appeal is pending at the Supreme Court from Wisconsin, where federal judges have struck down that state's admitting privileges law.

Justice Stephen Breyer's majority opinion for the court held that the regulations are medically unnecessary and unconstitutionally limit a woman's right to an abortion.

HOPE ABORTION CLINIC IN GRANITE CITY, IL. CLOSING?

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 03:57:21 GMT

June 2016

Once again, we have been contacted by others wanting to know if this rumor is true.

Sure. Does it look like they're closing?

Another lie from the devil. And the lazy church and lazy pastors keep it revolving. It’s an excuse not to confront the abomination in Granite City, Illinois which sits rather comfortably and stays open by permission of the local churches and their pastors. “Stupid and lazy”, that is why the Midwest largest late term abortion mill is thriving, because those who claim the name of Christ are stupid and lazy. Many of these pastors make the time to go golfing, Cardinal games, Branson, Missouri, pilgrimages, revivals, prayer breakfast’s etc. but make excuses not to come pray outside the abortion mill. Or encourage their flock to put feet on their prayers. If the shepherds leads, the flock will follow. Hope Clinic knows how to remain untouchable. The abortion mill is not worried about the small rosary group or the loud mouth chest beaters in the alley on Saturdays. Hope Clinic isn’t even worried about the local churches because they know how lazy and timid they are. However, there is a small ministry that has blazed the prolife trail for others to enjoy their liberties outside this notorious abortion mill for decades, and the former abortion mill director referred to them as “relentless”. That’s who the devil is worried about. Those that have gone toe to toe with the devil in Granite City, and not backed down. We have stood for justice and given aid to the widow and the orphan. There is a scripture that the church purposely avoids, that states “on this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell cannot prevail against the real church of Jesus Christ.” I’m no Bible scholar, but those should be our marching orders as a Bible believing CHURCH. Child killing and infanticide will prevail as long as the church and its shepherds stay home and do nothing.

Remember, the Lord is not blind, the Lord is not stupid , He sees your phony prayers offerings , He sees the hypocrites, He sees those who know the good they should do, but don’t. God calls it sin. I sure wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of most if not all the churches in Granite City, Illinois, that stand by and allow this abomination to thrive by their inaction and silence, but especially, their lies.

“When you spread your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you, even if you offer many prayers I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood”; Isaiah 1:15

Instead of spreading gossip and lies, do something productive. Grab your sword, that’s the Word of God. Put on your armor,the breast plate of righteousness, and run into the battle, where children are dying. You may just save a life.

In closing,

“ No weapon formed against you shall prosper,” by the blood of the Lamb. We are victorious by the blood of the Lamb. Now you need to catch it and believe it. We have overcome by the blood of the Lamb. All things are possible, with God! And nothing is impossible with God. We can bring the giant down, through Christ who strengthens us. Repeat.

Just remember, we all have to give an accounting on the day of judgement.

Keep speaking the truth, no matter the cost,

Executive Director at HOPE CLINIC, GONE!

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 03:40:42 GMT

May 31, 2016

Praise God, another abortion mill executive director is gone from Hope Clinic abortion mill in Granite City, Illinois, known as one of the largest, late-term abortion mills. This executive director was younger and more flamboyant than the previous one, Sally Burgess, whose bloody career lasted decades. Read: Passing the Torch

Tamara was only resident at Hope Clinic for approximately four and a half years. She also had three children. The oldest, a 16 year old girl, accompanied her to work often. Before that, Tamara had been employed at De Paul Hospital over in St. Louis, Missouri before filing for bankruptcy.

Speculation has it that Tamara was fired after the most recent horrific “botched abortion” that happened inside Hope Clinic on April 16, 2016. Read: Hope Clinic Butchers Another Late Term Abortion

The botched procedure was so damaging that the private ambulance firm Hope Clinic has contracted with, “Abbott,” had to transport this Illinois woman over to Barnes Jewish. Why? Because gross complications of abortions are not reported in Missouri. Illinois hospitals have been mandated to alert the authorities for the last two years.

We’ve also been informed recently that there were personality clashes inside Hope Clinic between Tamara, the abortionist, and some of the employees.

Our prayer is that all involved with the shedding of innocent blood would come to a full repentance and find Jesus, and then go on to do great things for the Kingdom of God.

Please help us to continue praying for Hope Clinic and all those involved in this evil business.

Keep speaking the truth, no matter the cost,

Mother's Day 2016

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 03:38:10 GMT

May 2016

Childbirth and labor are nothing compared to the pain of Motherhood. Still, I would do it all over again…with a lot of tweaking. Parenthood is a guilty affair. No matter how hard one tries, it is impossible to discharge the responsibility perfectly. Most mothers are the nurturers, the worriers. If you’re like me, my favorite time is bedtime when these frail shoulders carry the day’s burdens, crises, and concerns to a higher power; but not before I tip toe through each room making sure the covers are on, each curly head is in bed, no fires, no wild animals, and still I fight the temptation to check their pulses as they sleep to make sure no one succumbs to SIDS.

There are many benefits we receive from our children: love, meaning and purpose, endless giving, and a sense of humor, not to mention the ho-made treasures and runny breakfast memories. Don’t let the parenting years get away! Your contributions to your children could rank as the greatest accomplishments in life. So remember the funny and joyous times of motherhood. There was the time I felt like a short-order cook, waitress, and busser all at one meal. No sooner was everyone’s four-course meal served when it was time to remove the plates and dish-out dessert. I mentioned, “There better be a good tip.” After the kids cleared the table, I was gathering plates when I noticed some coins underneath one, eighty-three cents to be exact. There was also the mini-vacation when our autistic son gave a peep-show of his sleeping, undressed father to all the motel guests standing by via the wooden blinds. “Open, shut,” he smiled.

Children come without instructions. We pretty well have to assemble them on our own. Believe it or not, children want their parents more than the junk we buy them. Another reality is that you cannot take total responsibility for the outcome of your kids for they do have a free will, and some are determined to exercise it. It doesn’t hurt or disappoint any less. Children only increase our prayer time, and God always goes after the prodigal. Come on, you got this MOM!

On this day of honor, we thank all moms for their courageous love and sacrifice. To birthmothers who lovingly chose adoption for their children and to those who gave the love of their hearts to adopt children, we say to these and all mothers, thank you, for your love does not go unnoticed. There is no greater gift than the gift of life. We love you all the days of our lives.

“Be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work.”

Happy Mother’s Day!

HOPE CLINIC In GRANITE CITY, ILLINOIS BUTCHERS ANOTHER LATE TERM ABORTION

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 03:35:39 GMT

April 2016

Written by Angela Michael

This past April 16, 2016 another late term abortion client was rushed from Hope abortion Clinic across the river to Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri to save her life after a two day abortion procedure. Saturday was day 2 of her abortion. Many of the clients were inside by 6:50 a.m. instead of the usual 8:00 am opening time. Several cars were from Friday , including this butchered woman’s which still sat on the parking lot as the ambulance arrived. Abortionist Yogendra Shah was already inside. His usual arrival time is 10:30 a.m. This just told us these clients were more than likely precipitating , delivering their unborn babies earlier, than scheduled.

It was around 12:20 p.m., when the ambulance pulled up in front for the remaining prolifer to witness. Most, including our ultrasound van had left for the day. The abortion clinic tries to wait and hold hemorrhaging abortion clients inside until there are no witnesses. This jeopardizes the welfare of these injured women, because the abortion mill doesn’t want you to know about their risky and negligent care. The only thing they care bout is the money and what day to schedule abortion.

We have warned women for years, decades of the gross negligence and filthy conditions inside this slaughterhouse. Just read the many articles on our website. We take photos for a reason to show the truth of what abortion looks like and to tell the truth of what happens at the abortion mill in Granite City, Illinois. The reason Hope Clinic has to take their butchered clients to Missouri, is there is a transfer agreement with hospitals in Illinois now, that all emergency rooms must report any abortion complications they receive. Gateway Regional Hospital is less than 100 feet across from the abortion mill. This past year the state of Illinois reported only a few transfers that came across the street from Hope Clinic. If they all came, as they have in the past years, this would be a red flag to the state health officials and they would have to do something. According to law, the abortionist license is to be pulled for a period of time, and an investigation. Illinois is so corrupt, I don’t ever think that would happen. Even if 48 bodies of butchered abortion clients lay in their parking lot. Sad. Another concern is the FOIA reporting. Hope Clinic can by pass this as they call in their private ambulance service, not 911 so know one has any knowledge of another abortion client butchered. This is bad for business. Former abortion worker informed us that Hope Clinic’s worst fears are ambulances pulling up to their doors, and lawsuits. But they also want women to believe this is safe and rare “healthcare” of all things. These are just the abortion complications we catch. Think of how many more go on without any witnesses.

Luke 8:17 “For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open”.

CASH COW PREGNANCY BANQUET TURNS VIOLENT

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 03:33:14 GMT

We must not allow creative protest to turn into physical violence - MLK, Jr.

April 2016

As peaceful prolifers were physically attacked by attendees. Mosaic PHC executive director unleashes supporters to take our signs and harass peaceful protestors. Complaint has been filed with local police department, who came earlier on a false complaint that protestors were "rioting", of all things. Truth is hate to those who hate the truth. Just when you think the American church cannot sink any deeper, it does. As the attendees pulled into the parking lot, several began rolling down their windows and cursing us, or we received a few middle fingers, many had Christian symbols on their cars. One pastor in a red Cadillac, tried to run us over as he gunned the engine and steered his car inches, not feet, in front of where we stood. Most were older and some 40-50ish supporters. One sign read "You didn't help me or my baby" another "Mosaic's policies kills babies." You see, this pregnancy center makes it so hard for pregnant girls to get any assist or an ultrasound, that many cross our paths at the GC ab mill. We have been exposing this problem a long time in GC but, this pregnancy center takes in a million $, a year and gets government grants. The exec. dir. pays herself 80k a year and does very little to help pregnant girls. Most of their revenue goes toward furniture, fundraising events, and salaries. Less than 5% goes directly to helping pregnant women or their babies according to their income report. Other employees don't have to list their income according to non-profit report. This prego center has a $400.000 med. mobile unit, complete with ultrasound, and only leaves their lot for fundraising views, from donors. We have asked Mosaic to please let our ministry have the van if they are not going to be good stewards of God's blessings. Lord knows the repairs and upkeep we have endured over the years in our out dated van. Our appearance must have incited a couple (fem-black coat& male-blue shirt) as they left their red BMW in the middle of the parking lot and doors opened as they charged towards the protestors across from me. They picked on a young man. They shoved him and took their camera inches from his face and screamed at him to " answer them", "why can't he talk?" the irate woman kept screaming as she shoved her camera in his face.

Praise God, he held tightly to his sign and dodged their intimidating rants and the physical altercation. I ran over to see if he was ok, he looked up at me and whispered "I just want to punch their faces, but I’m going to pray harder for them". We were already struggling with high winds as you can tell from the pictures. Now, we were struggling with violent people. The couple kept taunting the prolifers, I told Daniel to call police. We have a right to peacefully assemble and protest. Matter of fact, the cops who came earlier told us they were there for our protection also. This just really goes to show how corrupt individuals aka so-called " Christians " don't want the public to know the truth.

Another woman came over to us holding her hair in the blowing winds, diamonds dripping off her wrist and ears. She wanted us to explain Mosaic's policies. She kept insisting that we talk to her. We informed her for years we have intercepted preg girls coming from Mosaic after being turned away. Some that are substance abusers are told "it would be better to undergo an abortion" then bring a drug baby into the world. This is wrong. We informed her how hard it is for a preg girl to get help at this prego center. 'Pregnant girls have to complete classes and come to Mosaic at the onset of their pregnancy or they refuse them. A lot of girls have jobs or school or other children how are they supposed to take classes to get help? A lot don't have transportation. Then Daniel handed her the Catholic times article where Mosaic lied and misrepresented themselves as being a Catholic organization and their readers should be supporting them. She didn't like that untruth. She took the article with her and wished us some resolve.

Then a man resembling the new Mr. Kathy Sparks Lesnoff ran over to the half parked BMW still with the door opened and began backing it into a parking space. He is much younger than K Sparks Lesnoff. That must be her latest husband. She remarried shortly after her last husband died. The couple attacking us took notice, and began walking over to their car. Mr. Lesnoff then went and parked his wh Mercedes in another spot and walked inside the event. More attendees walked over to us and began asking question about Mosaic PHC. We concentrated on the cars still arriving as others gently answered them. One woman complained "I have donated to her for a long time, I wish I would of had this information sooner, but thank you for doing this, people need to know." Another thought it was "ridiculous that she (Kathy) takes such a large salary, when it should be going to help pregnant mothers, not salaries, and she would not be donating diapers to them anymore”. As the last bit of cars were trickling in, we notice something missing from years prior. Kathy must be reading our website as her 400k ultrasound med unit was not staged in front of the Gateway Center for her donors to think Mosaic is actually using it to save babies or help pregnant women. The only time it moves is when they find a driver to park it at fundraisers. Today was different. The farce is over.

The MC, Sandy Brown, arrived from JOY99.1, radio station LOL as she pulled onto the lot. There is nothing funny about good people being fleeced. Just like career politicians, there needs to be term limits on cash cows. 30 years of fleecing the flock. I said a long time ago, there are some organizations out there that " if abortion came to an end overnight, the directors would be jumping off the roof tops". They have made a living and lifestyle off of donor’s money. Unfortunately, the prolife movement has turned into a financial business. It's all about making money and perpetual fundraising. Not about stopping abortion. And the American Church feeds into this travesty as they are more worried about their comfort and prestige than what the Lord says. Our marching orders are right there in the Book. But it's just easier to throw money at our moral problems than to face them, "We cannot change what we are not willing to confront". We ended with a closing prayer, and thanking God for His guidance and protection.

Keep speaking the truth, no matter the cost,

Mosaic Pregnancy Health Centers Banquet

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 03:27:30 GMT

30 Years of Building a Financial Empire

2016

Yes, the “ruse ” continues as Kathy Sparks Lesnoff President, CEO of Greatest Lie going and “Cash-Cow pregnancy health centers aka MOSAIC plans yet another annual fundraising banquet. Last year we picketed her banquet, where Kathy hired several religious speakers to appeal and attract more donors to fund her lifestyle. Again, many attendees came over and spoke to us in disbelief, but we also had a few pregnant women with us who were refused help as they were told they didn’t qualify for help. This was shocking to her donors. We informed them of the obstacles Mosaic puts before pregnant mothers and how often many cross our paths going into the abortion mill in GC to get instant help. Kathy is a window dresser. A charmer, as she has her hands in every churches pockets in Missouri and Illinois, appealing for financial donations so she can prevent abortion, yet in reality she does very little to help pregnant women. To be honest, most pregnant women seeking assistance from Sparks/Lesnoff are not at her center wanting an abortion, they need assistance with their pregnancy. Which, Mosaic makes pregnant girls qualify in order to receive anything.

C2 Mobile - Mobile Medical Unit
p: 618.407.0108

May I introduce you to Mosaic’s latest money pit, which lies dormant since its inception.
*C2 Mobile is currently unavailable as we accept applications for a qualified driver. The only time this 400.000 -dollar state of the art mobile unit moves, is at Sparks/Lesnoff’s fundraisers. They manage to locate a driver then and park it right in front for donors to view. Again, Mosaic juggles various excuses according to their website as to why their mobile unit is not in operation.

Mosaic is consistently changing their website because we keep pointing out their untruths. Here is an example from their current website post: Do you provide material assistance to expectant mothers (diapers, formula, etc.)? Material assistance is provided at the completion of First Steps - Childbirth and Parenting Classes. We have exposed this “excuse” from Mosaic staff to “turn pregnant women away” if they don’t meet Mosaic’s qualifications i.e.; taking classes, in order to receive minimal assistance. Hence, they wind up at the abortion clinic, as many have offered “it’s just easier to get an abortion, than to get help”, with their pregnancy.

Unfortunately, as we discovered many years ago fighting on the frontlines of the abortion battle, you are going to witness the hard truth of the abortion/ prolife movement, or lack of. The abortion industry has its untruths and money grabbing problems too, but the prolife movement is no better. Actually it’s hard to tell both apart. The prolife movement has turned into a financial business. Pregnancy centers are perpetual fundraisings ministries and they tug at your heartstrings. But you will never win the battle fighting abortion in the “ compassionate ” way. This is and has always been the American churches problem. Ironically, they never seem to lift a finger to fight the battle from the advantage point they have. Matthew 16:18 “The gates of hell cannot prevail against the church of Jesus Christ”. But, they have to show up for the battle. Somehow they too use the excuse it’s not their problem and just throw money (pregnancy centers) at the problem which only makes them fatter. This may ease the churches conscience, but the cancer in our society thrives and grows. Let’s hope the the “empty chair” reveal at yet another one of Mosaic’s upcoming fundraisers will be the announcement of Kathy Lesnoff’s retirement from the “pregnancy cash cow business” , in Jesus Name we pray.

This article was written years ago , but the sediment still holds true today. When the National Review and their posse of puppet’s comes out of the woodwork and attacks the GOP front runner, Donald Trump, because he tells the truth and says what a lot of America is screaming, you know he is being very effective and he’s a target. And yes, people are angry; they are fed up with status quo politicians, the RINO’S standing by milking our wallets and doing nothing to stop the insanity and destruction of our country. Recently, when the Planned Parenthood videos came out on baby body parts trafficking, there was barely a ripple and we exposed that atrocity 17 years ago. Mr. Trump is not running as a purist. He is not running as if he were God, although if God were running He would get our vote. He is running as a man , who has the heart of a warrior, and the intestinal fortitude to make America great again. When is the last time you have seen the sanctimonious National Review do anything about the immorality, the disfunction in our government, and the corruption and anarchy thriving in this nation? And selling books does not count. Talk is cheap, and conservatism is pretend salt.
2 Corinthians 4 :8-9

Conservatism is Pretend Salt!

By Flip Benham
June 10, 2002

As Christians we are called to be salt and light in a world that is rotting on the inside from the consequences of sin, and attacked on the outside by an enemy (the devil) who has come to rob, kill, and destroy. The world, in all of its wisdom, is in utterly helpless and without hope in this battle - no answers, no solutions, no way! One need only listen to the talking heads and politicians of our day to realize they are clueless. The catastrophic events in the Mid-East, "9-11", bloodshed coursing down the corridors of our streets, workplaces, and schools - oh, what to do! Violence is filling our land!

It is into this hopeless, decaying world that the Church of Jesus Christ is called to bring salt and light. We do battle with the sin that destroys from within and the enemy who destroys from without. We are called to take captive our thoughts and make them obedient unto Christ (2 Cor. 10:5). Then we are called to crush the head of the enemy robbing, killing, and destroying (Gen. 3:15, Rom. 16:20).

The Church of Jesus Christ is the only institution ordained by God to fight this battle against the sin raging from within, and the devil raging from without. It is the only true salt and our only hope for victory. Unfortunately, the salt has abdicated its responsibility to be salt in the earth and light in the world. It has become good for nothing except to be, trampled under the feet of men (Matt. 5:13).

Not only are we being trampled under the feet of sworn enemies of our Lord who support abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, ad nauseum, we are also being trampled under the feet of another so-called friend - CONSERVATISM!

As our nation attempts to defeat the spirit of murder presently savaging our land, the Church of Jesus Christ has delegated the job to one who cannot win the battle. Enter modern day conservatism!

Conservatism looks like salt, talks like salt, acts like salt, seeks the vote and friendship of salt, yet, when the test of taste comes, it is revealed for what it really is - a tasteless enabler of perdition! That's right! Conservatism enables true salt to remain in the shaker while it attempts pragmatic deal making with an enemy bent on destroying God's children.

Conservatism will work hard on bills like partial birth abortion, parental notification, etc., but will never stand firm for all children whether they are six months old in the womb or two seconds old. Conservatism is a pathetic substitute for the vibrant salt of real Christianity.

Conservatism poses no threat to the enemy from within (sin) or the enemy from without (the devil).

Rush Limbaugh, the penultimate conservative, has no problem supporting conservatives like Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison, even though he knows her to be pro-abortion, because she is a fiscal conservative. Rush believes that conservatism is the answer to America's woes. Rush will sacrifice Christian principle to elect conservatives

"Right to Life" organizations in the state of Texas worked hard a couple of years ago getting the "parental notification" bill passed and signed into law by then Governor George W. Bush. It was hailed as a great victory for the pro-life movement. Florence Shapiro, however, the state senator who authored the bill, was Republican, conservative, and pro-abortion! Yet she is now considered a friend to the pro-life community.

Conservatism thrives in this muddying of the waters.

Conservatism will confront the enemy with the evil he promotes but, on the day of battle, will always retreat. Conservatism always tries to reason and compromise with the enemy seeking some "common ground" or "reaching across the aisle." Conservatism is politics' answer to Christianity. Its modus operandi is pragmatism. Principle is abandoned and obtaining and maintaining political office is its summum bonum. In order to become more appealing these days it calls itself "Compassionate Conservatism."

If you have been watching our President and his administration lately you will note the waffling, pandering, compromising, ad nauseam of Christian principles to the god of conservatism. If conservatism is the hired gun of the Church to take on her political enemies, it is a pitiful squirt gun. How the devil must laugh! Just watch him laugh through Yasser Arafat, Ted Kennedy, the abortion industry, the radical homosexual agenda, Tom Daschel. They serve their "god" with absolute allegiance. They know that they can count on conservatism to sell her "god' for thirty pieces of silver and political office.

The result of the Church of Jesus Christ allowing conservatism to fight the battle savaging our nation is that we are losing, but at a slower pace. Conservatism's goal is to lose as slowly as possible while maintaining office. If Al Gore will take us off a cliff at 90 mph, George W. Bush will take us off the same cliff at 45 mph. The sorry fact of the matter is, however, that we are all going off the cliff.

Conservatism is pretend salt, for it has never found a cause for which it is willing to die. It will never fight to the death the mortal enemy of God's children. Death for conservatism wipes away any hope of continuance. Life or political office must be preserved at all costs. Our Lord said, "He who seeks to save his life will lose it…" therefore, conservatism will always lose in the Gospel battle we are called to fight.

This is not so with Christianity - true salt! Christians will unapologetically fight the battle against our enemies from within and without in the Name of Jesus Christ. We hold no office so dear that the principles of our Lord would be ever be compromised or sacrificed. If we die in this battle we know that the victory is ours, for our Lord fought to the death and He now lives. He dealt the enemy a deathblow and made a public spectacle of him.

True salt will live up to the character of her Lord and be unashamed of the Name of Jesus and His Words in this wicked and sinful generation. It will stand firmly upon God's Word and let the chips fall where they may. The gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ. They shall, however, forever prevail against conservatism.

Conservatism is a pitiful and exquisitely deceitful substitute for Christianity. It is pretend salt!

ANOTHER SMALL VICTORIES “THANK YOU” FOR BEING THERE THAT DAY!

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 03:19:30 GMT

December 31, 2015

What an unexpected, nice surprise after Christmas! We just received this much-appreciated letter of thanks from yet another young mother who was abortion-bound outside Hope Clinic. Still in high school and accompanied by her mother who was struggling to keep two jobs and raising other children, they felt abortion was the answer.

On that fateful day, we gently offered them another way and our free resources. This young mother was spewing venom, yelling at us, “You going to take care of this baby?” and a few explicatives. She went inside Hope Clinic to our disappointment. But God was still in control! An hour later, all three came back out. We met them at the curb where the young girl apologized for her behavior and words and then hugged and brought them inside our ultrasound van where they viewed their baby and the love story began. We provided her tools to stay in school and all the baby supplies and personal clothing she needed. She graduated and is pursuing a college education while raising her son with the help of her precious mother. To protect their identity we gave them different names.

Actual letter:

Dear Small Victories,

Just wanted to send a special thanks to Angela and Daniel for everything. All the special talks and encouragement and help you sent our way for our baby, “Carter”.

May God bless you to help other women and young girls to save their gifts from God “babies.” Thanks a million for being there that day!

“Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks.” We will send pictures soon. He just got some took! Please keep us in prayers and we will do the same.

With heartfelt appreciation for the thoughtfulness you’ve shown.

Love,

Heather and Deidre & Baby Carter

In being there we save lives, not by mere talk, but with action. Abortion-bound women are not going to pregnancy centers; they are going to abortion mills. In helping others and being a “blessing,” we are blessed.

42 DEAD IN GRANITE CITY, ILLINOIS

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 03:17:22 GMT

1 Survives at Hope Clinic

December 29, 2015

This should have been the headline in the morning paper after Tuesday afternoon’s massacre inside the local abortion mill which was witnessed only by our faithful ministry and a couple of homeless beggars. Absolutely stunning: 42 people were cut down, slaughtered in one afternoon/evening and seemingly no one cared or noticed or even heard their tiny cries. People came from as far as Kentucky, Mississippi, and Indiana, but again, most were from Missouri and there were a few from Illinois. Granite City, Illinois is now known for its late-term baby killing and dumping mill rather than its currently idling steel mill which used to draw families from all 50 states. Now, it draws families for its late-term abortion mill, Hope Clinic for Women Ltd.

It appeared that those standing in line couldn’t have cared less about what they were about to do to an innocent victim. Many hung out and carried on rather jovial conversations as if they were meeting at a social function. They seemed insulted at our gentle offerings to help them to bring life into the world, or to help them out of their situation with a loving choice: adoption. One black male accomplice grabbed his crotch area and behaved very vulgarly telling us he wanted a “blow job” several times as we offered to help the female he accompanied. In all, 42 little people went through those purple “paint peeling off” doors of this slaughterhouse for what, we informed them, would be a very long night.

There was no fear or hesitation as we were cussed out and treated like WE were the weird ones for even being there trying to do good and overcome what is evil; to try and help women and keep their babies from being tortured for hours and eventually murdered. We have not witnessed this amount of carnage for some time now. What used to be the norm of double-digit homicides has, in recent years, gone down; on some days to less than 10. Today was quite the shocker. What’s worse is that we just celebrated Christmas, Jesus’ birthday. The first gift to the world, as I shared with almost all the mothers standing in line to kill their babies, was a baby. His name was Jesus. They couldn’t have cared less as some smoked, some ate Cheetos, some played on their phones, all while we futilely tried to save their babies. ONE woman stepped out of line before the rest all went inside. This mother walked across the parking lot letting us know she was “going home.” She declined any assistance or a free ultrasound, got in her car, and drove off. “Thank you Lord,” I whispered.

It was a sign of hope in a dark and evil portion of our afternoon and evening as we stood in the cold trying to stay warm. Meanwhile, life was going on just across the street where an ambulance or two would arrive and park looking over at us; or hospital employees would glance over while on yet another smoke break as if this amount of people about to murder other little people was the norm. “Apathy; drunk in apathy,” was all I thought. Philippians 3:18-19 came to mind. “For as often as I have told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomachs, and their glory is in their shame.”

My mind wants to quit, but my heart won’t let me. I came home to quite the pandemic. A backyard that had the in-ground pool we had always dreamed of after three saturated days of rain, and a house turned into an infirmary of “pink eyed” patients. Germs and plagues, they really love the Michaels. But, somehow after a hot cup of apple cider, our energy level rose and we sustained ourselves to keep going forth. God has called and chosen me for such a time as this. We, as I gently warned the abortion-bound mothers and their accomplices, will one day have to stand before God and give an accounting. What will we say?

This time of year we have been inundated with mailings from so called “pro-life organizations” begging for those “end of year” financial donations so they can keep “rescuing” babies from abortion or “save lives.” It’s really hard to believe any so-called “rescuing” is going on when we view 42 women standing in line, not outside a pregnancy center, but an abortion mill. Where are the rescuers?

We always seem to be able to make the time to do this ministry, almost 23 years. As we close out one year and look forward to new beginnings, we have a great opportunity as God’s people in this coming new year to make a difference when it comes to abortion masquerading as birth control and health care in Granite City, Illinois. If you aren’t bothered at the thought, let alone the sight, of 42 people about to be killed, something is wrong. Very disturbing.

Keep speaking the truth, no matter the cost,

~Angela

HOPE CLINIC (or any abortion mill) NO DIFFERENT THAN COLORADO PLANNED PARENTHOOD SHOOTER

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 01:01:02 GMT

December 2, 2015

As a veteran prolife activist, we do not condone one act of violence for another. With that being said, the recent Colorado shooting inside a Planned Parenthood facility, was unfortunate and tragic. But more appalling is the blame game and finger pointing coming from the very same people who have been inciting violence and the real war on women for over 40 years.

In particular, Planned Parenthood and prochoice advocates are accusing every prolife advocate that they’re responsible, due to the prolife rhetoric associated with the recent videos exposing the trafficking of baby body parts at Planned Parenthood facilities. Again, we exposed this kind of atrocity 16 years ago with Hope Clinic, in Granite City, and a Baby Body parts factory in West Frankfort, Illinois. Like rats in the night, they moved their facility to another feeding area within 200 miles of a supplier; another abortion mill. But the hypocrisy goes on. Everybody is up in arms and so disgusted with what this shooter did, as they should be, but, the same disgusting acts of violence happen every day the Granite City baby slaughterhouse is open. Different weapons; same results. And, it isn’t one or two people killed, it’s 20 to 30 a day. This is happening in our own back yard! Why are we not disgusted with this violence? Of course, Planned Parenthood is going to milk this tragedy as much as they can. “Poor us!” But those killers are doing the same thing to the most helpless victims of all. And they make a lot of money doing it. Also, those tapes were not edited as Planned Parenthood claims. They were the truth, and they revealed how greedy and callous these abortionists really are. It’s all about money. I even heard that that very day a tweet via Twitter went out from Planned Parenthood asking for donations to ensure “women receive healthcare”, blah, blah. You disgusting people are doing the same thing! Sad thing is baby killers don’t want you to know what they do or how late term in a pregnancy they’re willing to kill.

Consider this: Granite City houses the Midwest’s largest late term abortion mill. Just this past Tuesday we witnessed over 7 mothers of the 32 in line obviously well advanced in their pregnancies. One woman from Missouri was either high on drugs or drunk as she yelled vulgarities and was having difficulty standing. She was disheveled and her belly was hanging out as she brazenly told us she was 26 weeks. Why are we not disgusted? Come stand with me! See for yourself! Since September 2014 we have had an influx of out of state babies coming over the river from Missouri to kill and dump their babies in Granite City due to Missouri’s abortion restrictions. Unfortunately for Illinois, they don’t have to wait 72 hours, they just come across the river. Here’s a question: We don’t let people dump their tires in city limits. Why are we allowing them to kill and dump babies in our backyard? You see, it’s all about the truth. It’s considered hate to those who hate the truth. As long as we allow this depravation; senseless acts of violence will increase. Where there is no respect for life in the womb, there will be no respect for life on the streets. Whether it’s a shotgun, scalpel, or suction hoses; different weapons; same results. Murder is murder.

When you sow bloodshed in the womb, you will reap it in the streets, and that is exactly what we are seeing with the increasing violence in our homes and on our streets. Are we going to connect the dots or stay in denial? When will our church leaders rise up and stand against what is evil and call it what it is? This is not the will of God. And our professing leaders bear the responsibility to say so and preach and act against this evil. It is the most important crisis that we face in our day. It’s not the economy or the environment; it is the value we place on human life.

God showed us, his people, how he felt by shedding his own blood and giving his life for us. How can God bless a nation that continues to ignore the cries of over fifty-million children and counting whose blood is being shed? We must confess that as our brother’s keepers we have failed, but we do not have to wallow in that failure. We must follow in the example of those brave souls who have gone before us to bring to an end any oppression and holocaust, and not worry about the loss of man’s praises or character assassinations. We must embrace courage and make sacrifices, and act on it, in order to restore full protection to the innocent child in the womb and out of the womb. Only then will the murders of innocent children end and respect for life return. It is an epic battle of good versus evil, and it is a battle that can be won.

So, who is most responsible for “senseless acts of terrorism”? Hope Clinic, or any abortion mill, need only look in the mirror.

“Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.” Ezekiel 35:6

Hope Clinic Flushing Babies, ..AGAIN

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 00:57:40 GMT

Disturbing Find Underneath Granite City Streets

2015

Granite City, Illinois

Once again, it appears the Midwest’s largest, late-term slaughterhouse is disposing of fetal parts and bodies of aborted babies, into the sewers. Years ago, as far back as 2002, we reported a similar accusation from a waste management worker who feared the repercussions of publicizing this information. After tuning into our popular Christian radio program broadcasting throughout St. Louis, he felt convicted to confirm our suspicion that babies were regularly being flushed into the Granite City sewer system. This occurred so frequently that the city’s water gauges would elevate in pressure alerting supervisors that “something was caught” on a grid under the washboard streets of this city of slaughter. Public Works would arrive to remove manhole covers and climb down the rungs of steel only to find a large object on the trap or grid preventing the sewage flow. Workers would then have to use large coal shovels to remove the objects in order to restore the water flow and proper pressure. To their own disbelief, workers also reported that these “objects” caught on the sewer traps were late-term unborn babies missing a limb or two. They were appearing primarily in the vicinity of Hope Clinic along the main sewer directly in front of the abortion mill, which is located across from the emergency room of Gateway Regional hospital. This particular sewer gives off a rotting odor amidst stagnant air on very hot days outside the abortion mill. We have nicknamed the area “stinky sewer” because it is so repulsive.

This disgusting treatment of aborted babies continues even after the most recent expose of baby body parts being trafficked from abortion facilities. Our ministry exposed this scandal over sixteen years ago at Hope Clinic. In the course of our twenty-two years of being faithfully embedded outside this abortion mill, we were told by a former employee that everyone hired was required to work their way up into the procedure room and assist in actual abortions. This worker, lacking a medical background, said she was trained to aid in the abortion procedure. Specifically, she described disposing of aborted babies by laying them in an over-sized commode located in a back room, then pulling the handle to flush them into Granite City’s sewer system. Smaller fetal parts were reportedly “grounded up” in a garbage disposal in a medical testing/kitchen area. Mind you, these are aborted babies supposedly not sold for research, cosmetic firms, and pharmaceutical companies.

At around 3:30PM this past Friday we witnessed a familiar sight outside Hope Clinic: a Granite City Public Works truck arrived near the main sewer. Two men exited the vehicle and lifted the manhole to investigate. Their disgust could be overheard clearly. As one worker remained in the manhole, the other walked up to the abortion mill’s doors and banged on the entrance. However, Hope Clinic was closed for the day and all employees had left a couple of hours earlier after the completion of the morning’s abortions. The public works employee quit banging after a while and both workers replaced the manhole cover and returned to their vehicle to drive disgustedly away.

I think most decent people in Granite City abhor this murder mill, especially when its purpose is evident. Again, we can pray about it and throw money at so-called pro-life organizations, but until the real Church of Jesus Christ shows up outside “high places” and does what God has already ordained them to do, nothing will change and not ONE abortion will be stopped. The American churches must stop sticking their heads in the sand, grow some guts, and truly bring God back into this nation and our churches.

“You cannot change what you are not willing to confront.”

MOSAIC PREGNANCY HEALTH CENTERS’ MOBILE UNIT KILLS BABIES

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 00:50:29 GMT

Inaction is indifference: No help KILLS.

2015

Executive director and chameleon Kathy (Kathleen) Sparks, now remarried shortly after her first husband’s death, continues to spin her cash cow pregnancy business., in Granite City/ Belleville, Il.. It seems this gold digger who raked in over half a million dollars in reported donations, just last year, simply cannot locate anyone to operate or perform ultrasounds on pregnant women, or perhaps refuses to hire qualified technicians to do so. Tsk, tsk. This fraud continues her mission to mislead and entertain pastors while smooching churches’ butts in order to deflect the fact that her gold mine prego-funding is not going directly to help abortion-minded women or pregnant mothers needing assistance. She is a running joke as far as saving babies scheduled to be aborted is concerned. What is worse is the gullibility and ignorance of individuals and the fact that most church-goers don’t care. Corruption and hypocrisy run rampant nowadays.

Let’s review: Sparks’ website, www.revealmosaic.com continually transforms in order to cover up her lies. One week the Centers’ van is out of service. The next week, the van is only traveling once a month to a remote parking lot in Swansea, Illinois, supposedly offering testing. The next month, no driver is available. The only time one might view the mobile unit is at her fundraisers. When a client tries to schedule an appointment online, her website claims that Mosaic is completely booked up. It also states: “walk-ins welcome,” although Mosaic knows they are not accepting any appointments. What a scam! And we thought Sparks pretending to be a Catholic was bad while asking for support in the Catholic Times publication. She still has her hands in the Catholic churches pockets, although she has terminated all Catholic volunteers. Mosaic purchased this $300,000.00 unit over two years ago, and it is still not being utilized to the fullest extent or saving babies. Why do they need three pro-life fundraising walks when they are not helping women? When one calls the center, all the intake worker asks is if you can help them fundraise or donate to their cash cow center. Ridiculous.

Kathy, you need to retire. Haven’t you made enough money? Between scamming your audience at ten thousand dollar speaking engagements and posting deceptive advertisements on your website to get more money, have you no shame? You’re remarried; go and watch the sunset, because you sure as Hades are not saving babies or helping mothers. Kathy, you may have quit killing babies inside Hope Clinic back in the 1980’s, but you are still killing babies when you are deceitful and play the shell game with a piece of equipment that could be used to save babies. Why don’t you donate that mobile unit to our ministry that can really utilize it and will save babies scheduled to die ?

We challenge you to call / text or e-mail Mosaic to ask where your money is going: www.revealmosaic.com

West Frankfort, Illinois

2015

Written & exposed by Daniel & Angela Michael

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjxwVuozMnU

Ghastly huh? Let me inform you, and all the recent prolife bloggers; this atrocity has been going on not only inside Planned Parenthood facilities, but our ministry exposed this “frankenstein-ish operation going on inside Hope Clinic, 16 years ago. We actually were informed by Life Dynamics founder, Mark Crutcher. We witnessed Fed-ex trucks and vans bringing coolers from inside this late term abortion mill, and picking up boxes of parts for distribution. We followed the trail to a sleepy little town in Southern Illinois, West Frankfort. We rounded up a high school youth group to help us and we took a field trip to the ghoulish facility that was receiving the body parts, and man! this story blew up overnight! We held a peaceful, prayerful vigil right in front of the building that also housed an obstetrician, and a pharmacy. Opening Lines , founded by Dr. Miles Jones and managed by Gayla Rose , was the baby-parts provider. They were comfortly nestled right smack in the middle of the building with several phone lines and a makeshift lab/ storage area. We were on the phones calling every media outlet known and informing them of this macabre market for unborn babies. The next day we were met with national media, CNN, CBS , etc. and several satellite dishes were soon in place along with reporters who shoved microphones in our faces for interviews. They were horrified and so were the townfolks.

Local officials contacted us and pleaded with us; explaining that they did not know this was going on in their fine town. After our return to the Hope Clinic abortion mill we stood outside with a magnified sign bearing the price list of the baby body parts for sale. The abortion mill staff was furious. At the end of our vigil, we were attacked by two abortion mill employees, Deb Weidhardt and Rebecca Smith. They followed me and my young daughter to our family van and tried to grab the sign out of our hands as we were shoving it in our van. They hit me in the back and pulled my hair but we managed to push the sign in and we both got inside and locked the doors and took off. Hope Clinic, just like Planned Parenthood, doesn’t want the public to know how disgusting and greedy they are, murdering babies for profit. Not only do they make money off the abortion, but they turn around and make more money off procuring buyers for fetal organs by representing themselves as “ donors .” It’s all in the wording. And who for God’s sake is policing abortion facilities? No one.

Unless you can disguise your mission and wear a wire, no one would believe this atrocity is STILL going on inside abortion facilities. The sad truth is this recent expose is only a flash in the pan, so to speak. Some politicians will get face time and prolife profiteers will get their donors to send them more money, but this story, like the rest, will gradually fade from the sidewalks as ours did. As long as there is evil in the world, this injustice will go on because good people usually do nothing. They sit on the sidelines expecting someone else to do it. Just like West Frankfort, it was appalling, and the mayor and officials asked us to return to their fine town to inspect the former body parts factory, and we did after we learned that Opening Lines moved out that very night we exposed them. The only thing is, we didn’t stop it. They just relocated. Feeding lines such as Opening Lines body parts suppliers like to stay within 200 miles of an abortion facility to keep the money coming in. Yes, it brought about publicity, and the news program 20/20 did a story on it, but it still goes on. Just like partial birth abortions. Former President Bush signed a bill making it a felony and banning this gruesome abortion procedure, but it has not saved one baby from this barbaric procedure, as this recent expose proves. The hero in all this was a small-town newspaper editor that believed in us and took a great risk by printing the truth instead of the lie that was perpetuated by abortionists and survives due to “social correctness.” This editor continued to print the truth in his newspaper for over a week, every day, in “The Daily American.” He is no longer the editor of this publication, but he can live with himself because he did the right thing. http://www.wnd.com/1999/11/3864/

We must keep speaking the truth, no matter the cost. But I’m afraid this story will soon fade away like the rest, due to cowardice and apathy. As for us, we will continue to fight injustice and the atrocities done to the most innocent among us.

Small Victories Saves Mother and Baby

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 22:29:02 GMT

Proverbs 29:7 The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.

June 19, 2015

This is the harsh reality of what happens outside the abortion mill, ironically titled, “ Hope Clinic”, in Granite City, Illinois. Often I refer to it as the “crime scene” , due to its red light business and the kind of element it draws .

Friday : it was pouring cats and dogs outside the abortion mill as we arrived and set up our outreach to the abortion bound. Around 10:00 a.m., a bright red car with Kentucky plates pulled up right in front of us as we stood trying to keep dry for the monsoon rains. All though the rain was almost blinding, we could make out a very large black man 275-300lbs. driving and our attention and red flags went up when we could tell the female passenger, was visibly upset and crying. They sat there for approx ten minutes, then the driver got out. We inquired if we could help him? He ignored us and walked up to the guard shack in front of entrance of abortion mill. The girl sat crying as we gently pleaded with her and offered her help. The guard looked over and we could hear death camp guard Tonya Thomas yell at the driver, “she has to come up here”. The driver walked back to the car and got inside and his face was very upset as he was yelling at the female passenger. It was obvious the female did not want to go in and kept crying. All the sudden in front of us the heavy set male, threw a punch in the girl’s face . The driver hit her again with his large fist. More blood flowed down her face. We yelled at the assailant loud and clear, to ‘Stop it, we were calling the police”. The passenger was hysterical, we begged her to get out of the car , “we will help you”. The male then started the car as we were on the phone speaking with Granite City police and reporting the assault we just witnessed. We got the car plate as the man tore off the parking lot in the deluge of rain.

Granite City police pulled up to the abortion mill entrance and went up to the death camp guard who reportedly didn’t see anything , the police came over to us and we gave them the information and license plate of the car. This was obviously a forced abortion of a young girl who didn’t want one. Now, do you think this young girl had a choice in the matter? No, she was being forced to kill her baby. We kept praying and contacting law enforcement with the brutal assault we witnessed minutes earlier. Daniel even drove around looking for the car, to no avail. But state officials had the license plate and description of the assailant and victim. We put out a prayer alert to prayer warriors. God was still on the throne and in control. Our hearts were heavy as night drew closer and no word. We dreaded the next morning and a chance we would be confronting the car and driver again outside the abortion mill, possibly. Finally, morning came and we arrived and quickly set up our pregnancy outreach outside the abortion mill in Granite City. As the morning wore on we kept praising God and praying for the mother and baby. When we returned home, we received word that the Kentucky male assailant was caught and the mother and unborn baby were safe. Praise God! Chills and tears as we rejoiced with the good news and update. We thanked law enforcement for all their help and cooperation. But especially the Lord. We could not do anything with out His grace and provision. He works through our efforts and we give Him all the glory, in our vital work for the born and the unborn.

A Father’s Hands

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 22:23:16 GMT

June 2015

Written by Angela Michael

Of all the apps out there, think about all those things a father’s hands do day to day. Emotions fill your eyes and silly grievances melt away as you hold his hands in yours. Those hands may have held a newborn baby or two or three (in our case thirteen), helping bring life into the world. Those hands may have held and calmed you down a time or two in gentleness and love; never anger. They have faithfully worked to earn a living. Those hands have played , tickled or changed a few diapers (in our case over 100,000). They have mowed grass, painted a tree house, and tied another knot until payday. With nerves of steel and superhero strength, those hands helped navigate a teenager or two or three or thirteen through life’s rocky passages and driver’s education (whereas mom would rather give birth on a crowded bus.) Those hands have retrieved many a five year old’s critters and sworn never to tell Mom how they got in. They also rescued that five year old from the swimming pool when she drifted a little farther, and Dad had to jump in clothes and all. Those hands dried many a tear and held you in the soft comforting arm of night and quieted your fears. Those hands have fixed many a broken toy, window, and heart. Those hands have reached out and helped others. Yes, the wrinkled hands and roughness are worn as a badge of honor for the urban battlefields they fought and conquered. And when minor infractions threaten my peace, I just look at those hands and I feel blessed.

Psalms 1:1-2: “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and on his law he meditates day and night.”

On this day of honor, we say “Thank You Dad; And if your father is less than perfect, it might be a good time to forgive his shortcomings. If he is your “ hero ”, it might be time to really acknowledge him.

Happy Father’s Day!

ABORTION RATES DROPPING? NOT IN GRANITE CITY, IL.

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 22:19:40 GMT

Regarding the June 8, 2015 AP article that abortion rates are dropping across the country.

Maybe so, but they have increased here in Granite City, Illinois, home of the Midwest’s largest late-term abortion provider, Hope Clinic, where regulation and restrictions are seemingly nonexistent and the only questions are, “Visa or Medicaid?” “Tuesday or Friday?” Granite City was once known for the towering steel mill industry, which currently is struggling, unlike the abortion mill which is flourishing. Sadly, the number one reason for the increase is that as Missouri makes it harder to kill the unborn, those so inclined simply cross the river to do the deed. My suggestion to Illinois Gov Bruce Rauner: if he really wants to get Illinois out of the fiscal red, simply put a toll booth between the Poplar Street Bridge and the entrance of Granite City. Of course, the tragic irony of all this is that through local media coverage we witness outrage coming from Illinois residents and government figures when we discovered old tires being dumped in East St. Louis, Illinois; and we certainly don’t allow animals or couches to be dumped. So why are we allowing aborted babies being murdered then dumped in Illinois? Skeptical? Come stand with me and see for yourself. Illinois is unfortunately known for its # 1 manufacturing product: CORRUPTION. There are several former Illinois governors currently making license plates in prison as we speak, but it is still no excuse for Christians to tolerate this evil being dumped in our backyard. Corruption is a process that begins with tolerance. Christians are to love, but love is not tolerance of evil. Love is standing for righteousness being free of corruption and following Jesus and moving out of the building. We cannot change what we are not willing to confront.

HOMER G. PHILIPS SCANDAL & HOPE ABORTION CLINIC

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 22:17:41 GMT

May 27, 2015

Forward by Angela Michael

This past week, Chief abortionist Yogendra Shah tore around the corner and we gently rebuked him, inquiring if he was involved in the recently exposed St. Louis "baby scandal" at Homer G. Philips hospital back in the "60’s and 70's, as he was a resident training in obstetrics at the time. Upon graduating, Shah did a short stint at a West County hospital where we met and worked together in Labor & Delivery. Not long after did we literally run into him as he was entering the abortion mill one morning and, as I confronted the “abortionist” I realized exactly who he was and the double life he was leading. It was shocking, but not really a surprise as I thought back about his quiet, dark side and coldness during deliveries. You see, Yogendra A. Shah has admitted to other former employees that he is doing women a favor "unsaddling them from babies, especially the "indigent."” Indeed, he cared more about animals and their fur, than the inhumane treatment of unborn babies during his abortion procedures. It gives me chills to think someone told these new mothers that had just given birth, that their babies had died; only to find out decades later that they were stolen and adopted by wealthy couples. I don’t know if He was involved in this particular “baby scandal,” but it would not surprise me. There seems to be a predisposition among the elites that predetermines that Black Americans shouldn’t be reproducing or raising babies. And, in light of this, it only makes sense that Shah has quit his failing Ob/Gyn practice and devoted himself full time into killing babies at the Midwest’s largest late term abortion mill; Hope Clinic for Women Ltd in Granite City Illinois for the past 37 years.

Evil loves company and it always finds an excuse.

18 St. Louis-area moms seek decades-old hospital records amid baby-selling probe

Published May 05, 2015

FoxNews.com

Eighteen women suspect a long-shuttered St. Louis hospital sold their babies decades ago after telling them their newborns had died, and on Monday sought the help of a St. Louis attorney who represents a woman who was reunited with her 49-year-old child last month.

The women, all of whom are African-American, say they were told their babies had died at Homer G. Phillips Hospital, a city-owned facility that closed in 1979. They have reached out to attorney Albert Watkins, who represents Zella Jackson Price, 76, and filed a petition Monday in St Louis Circuit Court, seeking adoption records at the hospital. Watkins said the women all tell a similar, sad story.

“God has given me everything the devil has taken from me.”

- Zella Jackson Price

“We’re talking about older black women in St. Louis in their 70s and 80s, in their waning years, just trying to get answers to questions that have been burning in their heart,” Watkins told Fox affiliate KTVI.

Price met her 49-year-old daughter Melanie Diane Gilmore last month after Gilmore's granddaughter tracked Price down using a birth certificate. DNA tests have proven Gilmore is Price’s daughter. Price told FoxNews.com her baby was born six months premature and weighed just one pound.

"That's why it was believable when they told me my baby had passed," said Price, a renowned gospel singer who has performed in films.

"When I left that hospital, that chapter was closed."

But Price was contacted on Facebook by Gilmore's daughter, who told her she thought Price was her maternal grandmother. When the girl told her specific details, she became intrigued enough to take a DNA test. Price, who has five other children, now has a total of 12 grandchildren. She wants to see justice done, but more importantly, wants to make up for lost time.

"If we look back instead of forward, we don't give the glory to God," she said. "I've got to get to work spoiling those children."

The women who have since come forward, all of whom gave birth between the 1950s and mid-1970s, are hoping to find their own long-lost children. One, Brenda Stewart, said she was 16 and unmarried when she gave birth to a seemingly healthy girl on June 24, 1964. She cried as she recalled to The Associated Press how a nurse told her the baby had died.

"They told me I didn't need a baby," Stewart said. "I was too young to have a baby. They told me my parents didn't need another mouth to feed.

"I know my baby's not dead," she added.

Watkins believes there could be many more parents and children to reunite, and that the babies were sold to adoptive parents. He has asked Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon and St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay to launch investigations.

"There was, in the city of St. Louis in the 1950s and 1960s, a very dark and unlawful trafficking of human infants of color," Watkins told FoxNews.com.

Watkins hopes to make his case by comparing birth records now maintained by the Washington University Medical Center with adoption records filed in subsequent years. But, he noted, Gilmore's own adoption was never formalized until she was 20 years old, leading Watkins to believe that her adoptive parents, who are now deceased, may have known the law was broken.

Brenda Stewart hopes the baby she gave birth to in 1964 is still alive.

FBI spokeswoman Rebecca Wu told the AP the bureau is aware of allegations but declined to say whether the FBI has opened a human trafficking investigation.

Price told the St. Louis station there was “nothing greater” than meeting her adult daughter, who lives in Oregon, for the first time after decades of believing the worst.

“God has given me everything the devil has taken from me,” Price said. “I’m getting it back. I’m getting my baby back.”

Moms, don't give up on us

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 22:14:18 GMT

We don't need our mom to be perfect; we just need her to be our best cheerleader.

May 2015

I would like to extend sincere gratitude and appreciation to every mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, adoptive mom and every woman who has taken on the role of nurturing lives! As a daughter, I am beyond thankful to have a mom who loves, believes in and cares about my siblings and myself. I really don’t want to know where we would be without our mom. As a granddaughter and a niece, I deeply appreciate the love my grandmas and aunts have given without expectations.

Day after day, moms are called to a higher standard of selfless love for their families — of giving their time, energy and effort to help others live a better life. Moms face a lifetime of responsibility to set an example for those little eyes watching them, those little ears listening to them. It’s 24/7, 365 days a year, no turning back.

Moms should know that whether their kids are still living with them and depending daily on them, or are grown up and have moved away, maybe having children of their own, your love matters so much. Moms’ words, time and efforts matter. Sometimes they haven't gotten our thanks or appreciation, sometimes they’ve gotten a nasty response (especially in our teenage years).

We don’t need our mom to be perfect; we just need her to be our best cheerleader, our greatest encourager, our forehead-kissing superhero, our truth-teller, the person who teaches us, loves us and believes in us, no matter our flaws.

Moms, don’t give up on us!

I cannot wait to have the honor and privilege of being a mom; I am so proud of the woman my mom is.

HOPE CLINIC BUTCHERS ANOTHER WOMAN

Abortionist Yogendra Shah carves up late-term Indiana woman

May 2, 2015

On the weekend of April 24 & 25 ^th we later learned of yet another young woman butchered during her two day abortion at Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois, at the hands of chief abortionist, Yogendra Shah. Only minutes after our late departure from the slaughterhouse on Saturday the 25 ^th , a private ambulance pulled up in front of the abortion mill. It was around 11:30 a.m. Clinic manager Deb Weidhardt and death camp director, Tamara Threlkeld came out with ambulance attendants carrying the black female from Indiana. She was unresponsive.

She was a late term client who we remembered and spoke to the day before. She came in a jeep Liberty on Friday and parked up front by the entrance. Sadly, she returned to finish the grisly dismemberment of her large baby on Saturday. Abortion is increasingly dangerous the more advanced a woman is in her pregnancy. What’s worse is the increasing number of abortion complications coming from Hope Clinic at the hands of both abortionists, Erin Lee King and Yogendra Shah; and these are only the ones we know about. The make shift staff usually tries to hold the hemorrhagic patients inside until all the witnesses on the sidewalk are gone, but this day they only waited till our ministry left. Not only is Hope Clinic jeopardizing this young woman’s life with malpractice but since last fall, Illinois hospitals are required to report to the State of Illinois all abortion complications and the abortionist that was involved. It’s a law. So, what does Hope Clinic do to try and cover up their abortion complications which are frequent? They don’t call for 9-1-1; they call a private ambulance firm so there is no reporting, and they bypass local emergency care and travel the distance to St. Louis, Missouri where both abortionists have privileges or are on staff at Barnes Jewish Hospital. There is no public record.

And now, the Illinois mandatory reporting law makes it even harder for Hope Clinic to continue dumping their patients at Illinois hospitals, especially Gateway Regional, which is situated right across the street from Hope Clinic and was constantly seeing butchered transfers from this slaughterhouse in Granite City. Hope Clinic’s worst fears are lawsuits and public knowledge of “abortion complications.” This is not good for their image and their so called “healthcare” façade.

Abortion was built on a lie and it survives by lies. They have to keep the lies going.

More late term babies are being murdered in Granite City than any other metropolitan area due to the lawlessness here in Illinois and the abortionist’s love of money. We’re frustrated because the death toll numbers are going up due to abortion restrictions in surrounding states, especially Missouri. Illinois also caters to underage minors and late term abortion minded women. Is this what the Granite City leaders want their city to be known for? Instead of the towering steel mill that is currently struggling because of lack of demand, Granite City is now known for the baby killing mill. This is a blight on this nation, let alone this city. Something has to change.

Now let me ask you something, if this abortion mill were a veterinarian’s office or an orthopedic surgeon office and you witnessed several ambulances or stretchers hauling bloodied animals or patients over to the local hospital or to the Missouri hospitals for emergency surgery, would you think the medical hirelings at either facility are qualified and competent? Do you think that negligence or malpractice may be an issue at either facility? Would we tolerate such substandard care on a pet or grandma?

Then why are we allowing “dirty doc’s” to butcher pregnant women during abortion procedures? How many maimed and butchered women is enough to have the abortionist’s medical license pulled and an investigation begun? #redflag

Back alley abortions have not ended .They’re legal, and they cost more money.

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for GOOD people to sit around, complaining and to do nothing. Or what’s worse, to wait for someone else to do something. We will never change what we are not willing to CONFRONT.

TRAGEDY AT HOPE CLINIC - ANOTHER PARENT’S RIGHTS ARE TRAMPLED AGAIN!

17 week old baby brutally murdered through forced abortion

April 28, 2015

Written by Angela Michael

We no sooner arrived in Granite City, Illinois, and began setting up our pregnancy outreach to the abortion bound, when two young women bolted from their vehicle parked in front of the abortion mill. The driver was crying and very upset, her friend said “Can you help us”? I began listening to yet another horrible scenario that we have seen played out in front of this detestable slaughterhouse for decades.

“Kelly” had rushed in her car for the past 4 hours to get to this abortion mill to try and intervene and stop the pressured late-term abortion of her grandbaby by her daughter Kaitlin. Two older women were pressuring her to get rid of this 17 week old baby. It seems the father of baby, 19 year old” Tristan,” decided he didn’t want a baby after all, and wanted to continue with his “player” lifestyle on the sunny beaches of Alabama. He threatened to send the pregnant girl back home to Missouri to raise a (possibly) autistic baby on her own if she didn’t go through with the abortion.

We learned that only weeks ago Kelly was helping her 17 year old daughter pick out names and baby things anticipating “Kennedy Rose’s” arrival in October. Kelly was relishing this upcoming journey with her daughter. She took her to her doctor’s appointments and saw the first ultrasound in which they were shown a little baby floating in an ocean of amniotic fluid and “waving to us.” Kelly videotaped it. All of a sudden this girl changed. “This is not my daughter,” she tearfully cried out.

She just found out her minor daughter, "Kaitlin,” was being forced to abort her late term baby by the 19 yr old boy's mother "Tammy Maasen" and grandmother "Helen Eckelleberry" all from Missouri. "Kelly" was in total shock. Her friend came with her during the 3.5 hour drive from Owensville, Mo. We called the police; the Missouri Attorney General, lawyers and State Representatives. No one could prevent this from happening. But boy, they sure learned the law and truths about underage abortions happening across the river in Illinois. They were appalled Hope Clinic can terminate a baby so late in the pregnancy without parent’s involvement or supervision.

The mother has the girl on her insurance and was caring for her and preparing to support this baby and daughter. She named the baby "Kennedy Rose.” The abortion staff kept taunting the mother and refused to let her be with her daughter when they arrived. They pushed her inside. We found out the boy’s mother, “Tammy Maasen," had called all around other states to get rid of this late term baby. The only state that would allow this abortion was ILLINOIS ! Hope Clinic.

Things changed however, when this boy, "Tristan Maasen,” moved to Alabama on the beach, and began working on this immature girl and convinced her "the baby may be autistic” of all things, “and if she kept the baby he would send her packing back to Missouri to raise the baby by herself". We did everything we could. It was so ironic, another abortion bound black woman was standing behind the devastated mother " Kelly ," who was hoping to be with her daughter as she, " Kaitlin ," checked in with the guard. This woman actually gave Kelly a long hug and we encouraged her to go inside and help convince the girl to come out and talk with her mother. We also asked the black woman not to kill her baby. It was so sad, and we experienced a huge feeling of helplessness. However, we kept praying. Kelly kept sending texts to her daughter, who kept cussing her out. The boy’s mother texted Kelly telling her she was a Christian and praying for Kelly and that she had to do this! In one photo its priceless as you view the mother Kelly crying after being told she can’t come inside because she spoke to "protestors,” and her daughter Kaitlin with red hair, looking at Kelly's friend, while a black woman (glasses) is holding the phone; the boy’s mother, Tammy (white shirt) and Grandmother (grey hair, purple jacket) in line and going inside.

Illinois is the only state that allows total strangers to kidnap underage children for 5-7 hours, severely damaging the mother /daughter relationship, murder helpless babies, then toss those same underage children to the curb into their devastated primary parent's arms who has to pick up the broken pieces while dealing with the abortion mill staff that’s screaming in her face, "You have no rights; it's her body, her choice"! This happens quite often in Granite City at Hope Clinic where the abortion mill staff’s rights to help underage kids get an abortion trumps the custodial parents’ rights. Some 4 hours later we were still making calls to officials and attorneys as we know it’s a felony for any adult to bring an underage minor from Missouri for an abortion in Illinois. But, we learned it’s a civil action. Kelly can file a civil suit against the adult women who brought her daughter. This is why I hate the state of Illinois; because of its lawlessness, and corruption. Hope Clinic makes a lot of money off it; and Hope Clinic destroys families.

Abortionist and new mom Erin Lee King slowly pulled into the abortion mill garage where we gently rebuked her as she threw her head back laughing at us. We reminded her of the child she just bore and this poor mother’s grandbaby she would be murdering this night. She just laughed all the way inside the slaughterhouse until we heard the door slam shut. Evil.

We stayed until evening, holding up the mother and her friend. Finally we had to leave as we had responsibilities at home. We gave them instructions and safety warnings as this abortion mill is located in the ghettos of Granite City. Around 7:30 pm the death camp manager, Deb Weidhardt, with her high school diploma, came out with death camp guard Tonya Thomas. Yale security company was walking the boy’s mother, Tammy, to her car to move it closer to the front door and away from the two women left standing and holding out hope. They never returned. We surmised they were keeping this late term all night to force dilation enough to get the "Soper” forceps inside this girl’s cervix and tear her baby apart as much as they could, as her baby was too big for a vacuum suction abortion. Last word around 10 p.m. the mother Kelly and her friend were driving back home crying and so empty. Kaitlin and the women who brought her never came back out. Kelly thanked us for being there and helping them but we felt like we really didn’t do anything since the results were not in our favor. We felt helpless.

We encouraged Kelly to hold on to the ultrasound video of her grandbaby "Kennedy Rose" and the baby items she already bought. We told her to keep in touch and if she needed counseling or help filing court documents to contact us. We said we would hold her and the situation up in prayer, and that we would also pray for her daughter. Only God can fix her.

Friends, this is not an easy ministry. My heart is sooo heavy when I face these people and try to show them the preciousness of life. Sometimes it's just overwhelming. The laws in Illinois need to change. As you click on the link at the top of this article you can see the tragedies that we have endured on those sidewalks with many a mother. This Mother’s Day will be harder for many. Please keep them who are going through difficulties in your prayers. I don’t know about you, but this INSANITY in Granite City has to end. Parental rights need to be enforced and placed back in the custodial parents’ arms, not Hope Clinic. Tougher laws and enforcement only make sense. Tattoo parlors or tanning salons can’t touch your underage kid! They have to be 18, an adult! Better yet, come away from your comfort zone and embed yourselves with us in the trenches. See and learn of the truth about abortion and its divisive destruction. It is destroying the family and our nation.

Jeremiah 31:15 “ A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because her children are no more”.

Psalms 41:1 "How blessed is he who cares for the helpless."

April 21, 2015

Dateline : Granite City, Illinois abortion mill Tuesday afternoon. We set up our pregnancy /ultrasound van outreach as the abortion bound were arriving. MANY were late term , some quite proud that they waited so long to kill, or bragged they already had several abortions and waved at us. Thirty-one, so far. Clients from AR, MN, 17-MO,12-IL . One late term kept coming out she had come with another abortion bound mother. We encouraged her to go back inside and bring her friend back out also. We promised to give her an ultrasound if she did. Meanwhile, an abortion bound girl from Belleville, Illinois, came out and stood there waiting for her accomplice to return so she could proceed with abortion. Drivers are supposed to stay on the premises.

I asked her "what would it take to save this baby? Could I do anything for her"? She kept her head down but kept looking over trying to ignore me, but God told me to keep trying. "Did you get to see your baby on the ultrasound?" I asked her, this got her attention. She whispered "No”, "Would you like to see your baby"? she looked over thinking,.." It won't take but 5 min", I said. She looked around for her driver , then she walked over. I quickly brought her in the van and quickly scanned. "There your little one is" , I said and pointed out the baby's features. "Oh my!" Shaneice said. She already had two little girls. I told her it was too early to tell, but this may be your boy, you never know. I then asked her "Which one of your little girls would you kill if you had to do it all over?" She gasped, "neither one!" “Then why would you kill this one”? She couldn't answer. I went on, “this one is as precious as those two back home”. We went over resources and she thanked me just in time as her driver arrived, she bent down and spoke to the driver a couple minutes, and she got in the car and they left.

The Arkansas couple in the black truck, came back out and yelled over to us that, “They kept their baby and were leaving”. “Praise God!” we replied. We prayed and interceded on the front sidewalk. I looked up just in time to see both pregnant girls standing in front of me. I commented, "Well then, I see you brought her out, and a promise is a promise, let's have a look at that baby". I asked her friend if she wanted to come inside also, she shook her head no and held her eyes down. "Ok, if you change your mind just knock on the door ," I told her. As we climbed up the steps I turned to close the door and the other abortion bound girl was behind me coming inside. I quickly scanned, but God was speaking to me. He told me, I really need to work on the second girl. He was right. I did a cross section and showed the 1st pregnant girl her baby and all the toes and fingers and turned the screen so the other pregnant abortion bound girl could see, but, she kept her head down. As I was scanning in a soft voice I heard girl #2 say, "You don't remember me, but you and your husband saved my first baby, lil' over 5 yrs ago". I looked up and then I saw those beautiful dark eyes filled with tears. She told me her name, "Brittney *****" I thought for a second still scanning pregnant girl # 1, then I remembered, "Oh my God, I do remember you A baby girl, we helped you" , "Yes ,You helped us alot" . I asked the little girls name, "Kelsey". "Do you have a picture"? she came closer and showed me a beautiful 5.5 yr old giving the peace sign. I stopped scanning and wiped her belly off apologizing, but went over to Brittney and put my arms around her . Suddenly in that corner of our ultrasound van, I was flash backing when we first met this little angel. She was approx 18 weeks pregnant and inside Hope Clinic preparing for the two day abortion. Brittney's mom came out, and Daniel convinced her to go back inside and bring this pregnant daughter out to us so we could save the baby. He offered to reimburse them the cost of the ultrasound fee the abortion mill had already charged them.

A few minutes later, the mother and daughter came back out and into our van where we were able to view little “ Kelsey”, where she was auditioning for her life. We convinced them not to kill her and took action. Daniel set up her physician appointment and took them to our staff obstetrician to reassure them the baby was okay from the prepping of her scheduled abortion. We continued to support her and made sure she got to her doctor appointments and had clothing and much needed baby supplies, and tried to keep in touch after the baby. Now, here I was again, six years later, looking into those beautiful tear filled eyes once again.

"Why Brittney"? She said , "I cant keep it, its too hard". "Brittney you’re like my daughter" I cried, "please don't do this, let us help you with this pregnancy also". "I can't" , Did you start the abortion", "Yes, I got the ultrasound. How far along are you? 6.5 wks", she said. Pause.. I went over resources with the 1st girl and she seemed accepting of her pregnancy and said "I'm going to keep mine." I turned to Brittney and pleaded with her "please, what can I do to save this baby"? I then stood up and cried "Brittney, you’re breaking my heart , we could adopt this little one, or take custody of the baby till you get on your feet, but please don't take this child life." . She held her head down and mumbled "I don't want to hurt you", ..it got real quite, as I dried my tears and I then asked her , "Does your mother know your here"?.." No", she said,.. long pause, then I asked her, "What would she do if she knew you were here"? Brittney answered, "She would be real mad"..

Timing was perfect; Daniel came inside and I reintroduced him to Brittney and he was shocked. He spoke quietly to her as I helped the first girl outside. Then I came back inside and said, "I love you like a daughter, this is going to kill me", and I began cleaning the equipment , when all the sudden, Brittney put her arms around me and started crying "Then I won't do it, I won't do it!" I held her for a long time crying and professing our love and support for her and her baby. Daniel inquired how much she paid to start the abortion? “ $137.00 ”, she said. We were all crying at this point. She told us she works two shifts to make ends meet . We came outside the ultrasound van and looked at her vehicle. It was bad, really old car with rope and tape holding things together, but it gets her back and forth. We prayed . Another prayer warrior was witnessing all this and taking it in. We decided to try and get as much of her money back as we could. “Would this help you “? “Yes” , she said, then all four of us pooled our money on hand and came up with approx $70.00 dollars . We promised by weeks end, we would get her the rest. We would help her with other needs as well,. and be on the look out for a better car , her’s was pitiful. We hugged her and exchanged contact numbers . Her pregnant friend was sitting in the car smiling with tears rolling down her cheeks. I thanked her for bringing her out, and for saving both babies. Brittney promised to call us when she got back home. She hugged me and asked me if I was okay, she was concerned. “Of course”, I kissed her cheek and a tight hug back. "I love you".

I remembered a website for another Metro East pregnancy center that advertises itself as a "health center" only doing pregnancy test/ ultrasounds. No other assistance. Options Now in Godfrey/ Alton, Illinois, states on website that it cost $1200.00 a day to save a baby -send us donations ect.. well, today, we had busted that myth with door buster prices. HA!! $137.00 saved just this one child's life this day. We went on to rejoice with 5 babies saved in all and 3 ultrasounds I apologize this is sooo long, but, I don't know how to stop loving on mothers and their babies . I don't know anything else, but to love and to share that love to those who didn't think they were even worthy of love. Unconditonal love. It's not perfect . Coming from someone who was never taught how to love. This is what we do, this is my life. What is so troubling is why can’t others reach out and help? You understand why women feel abortion is their only option when legalism and policies and empty promises go unfulfilled. Jesus is the real deal. When you put your walk with your talk, it saves lives and empowers women.

“How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses to help?” 1 John 3:17

Powerful Pro-Life Testimony

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 21:48:43 GMT

2015

This is a powerful testimony to what being at the clinic can do. True followers of Christ do not sit on the couch watching TV while babies are dying and then have the nerve to call themselves pro life. Good actions have good consequences. Inaction leads to a loss of faith and possibly even a person's salvation. The man with 1 talent lost it for inaction. Small Victories takes an active role in using their talents combined with the talents of others to save lives and glorify God. Today, we marked a milestone with our 5001 baby saved from their scheduled abortion at Hope Clinic in GC. Two precious babies saved this a.m. The best part was having "Angel" bless us with her surprise visit and powerful testimony. Happy Easter!

5 Yr. Old Saves Mommy

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 19:28:01 GMT

Psalms 127:3-5

"Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him..."

March 23, 2015

Very early this past Saturday morning we were setting up our pregnancy outreach to the abortion bound mothers, when our staff obstetrician, Dr. Mark—who helps pregnant moms with their babies and medical care follow up— came over to us and was very excited. He wanted to share a story with us. He began by asking us if we remembered a girl named Angel who had decided to save her baby after coming into our ultrasound van. We thought and answered, “Sure, she delivered about five years ago.” I told him that she had included our names in her baby boy’s name. He said, “Well, she came into my office recently with this fantastic story. She was involved in a bad relationship, where the boyfriend was abusing her mentally, physically and endangering her health and welfare.”

As he spoke we remembered that Angel has always been fighting the enemy. We know the devil comes to rob and kill and destroy, and a little over five years ago the enemy was trying to convince Angel that she couldn’t possibly handle another baby. Added to this the abortion clinic staff had her convinced to the point that they wouldn’t let her leave that day till she agreed to return the following Tuesday to start the late term abortion. We remembered that we were standing in the alley and walked with her to the car, all the while speaking in love and offering to help her with another way. “I know it’s hot, but would you like to see a picture of your baby?” She was reluctant and her driver was in a hurry and couldn’t have cared less about a baby. But I held out my hand and she finally accepted and came into the hot van, and that’s when the love story began between Angel and her baby. Well, to fast forward, we fought hard for that little boy inside our hot tamale ultrasound van, but God won. It turns out that Angel knew the Lord; her daddy was a pastor. We ended up helping her with bunk beds for the other kids and supplies and a crib for the baby and we later celebrated her at our banquet, where we got to meet her family. It was awesome. But, years later, things began falling apart with this new boyfriend. She was in a mess and had forgotten her way. Lost and feeling she was at her breaking point, Angel was sitting in a room with a loaded pistol in her hand. She was crying, “I can’t take it anymore!” She brought the gun up to her temple; took a breath in and began to pull back the trigger when her cell phone rang. It kept ringing. She finally grabbed it with her other hand and answered. On the other end a small voice said, “Momma, I love you, I will see you soon.” It was the baby we saved inside our ultrasound van a little over five years ago! Angel choked up and started crying. She put the gun down. The phone went dead, but after a good long cry Angel got herself together, because all she had needed was a touch from the Lord. God used her saved baby son to save her life and to remind her and others how precious life is. She asked Jesus back into her life and realized that this was only a test of faith. She may have felt all alone when she was going through the storm, but God was with her.

Remember when we were in school taking a test? The teacher was always quite during the testing and it’s the same in our lives. When we are going through our trials we sometimes wonder, or cry out to the Lord, “Where are you?” It always gets quite during our God test, but He is with you. God was still in control and would help her out of her mess. Thank you Lord!

I hope this story encourages you. I know it blessed us on those sidewalks this past Saturday. Think about it; had that baby not been saved, I don’t know if Angel would be with us, but I’m grateful she is. Keep her and her family in your prayers. I always tell the abortion minded moms that you never know what your baby can be and in this case “a hero” comes to mind, but these babies are full of endless possibilities. They just need a chance. I know as a mother of a large brood it’s not easy, but it’s always worth it. People think I save babies: those babies save me every day.

Be encouraged,.

God Goes Back to Church

March 15, 2014

“They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares;
They say, “Who will see it? They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.”
Psalms 64:5-6

Back in the early years of the last decade we held gentle revivals outside many an area church. Now, it was time to take God back, once again, to wake up and clean up another slumbering congregation. We had a smaller remnant, but it was still a remnant for the Lord and, God blessed us with beautiful weather that we haven’t experienced for a long time. A welcome mat was literally spread out to us as we drove along the “pricey” homes, neatly tucked along the main drive to the church. ‘No parking, temporary police order” signs lined the road closer to the entrance of the church. This was great! It made people actually want to slow down and ask WHY ? Yes, we were small in number, but we were in good company for Ezekiel, too, in his day, stood all alone against the false prophets of Israel. These politically correct ministers preached peace and prosperity instead of pointing out the sin and God’s coming judgment because of it. In the same way many modern churches, who may have started out preaching God’s truth, now water down the Word, not wanting to offend but to make God’s people just feel comfortable.

Well, the scripture declares, “ Anyone who knows the good they ought to do and does not, sins,” and, the pastor of this particular church knew something was terribly wrong concerning his congregation’s support of a supposed pro-life organization. He knew alright, but his members didn’t. That’s why we came; to enlighten them. You see, what his “ flock ” didn’t know was that they were being duped into thinking that their hard-earned donations to a supposed “Pregnancy Center” were saving babies from abortion and helping pregnant women when, in actuality, incredibly little is done in this vital area. Yes, we have been exposing this particular “health center” for years and, although they used to make a small attempt to help pregnant women, now the Mosaic Pregnancy Health Center does even less; much less; all the while asking donations from susceptible church-goers who think their money is actually doing some good. On the other hand, our daily ministry has been overwhelmed with incoming abortion bound women disgusted that they could not receive any assistance in order to keep their pregnancies. They don’t trust, and they’ve been through the ringer, so to speak, and it’s just easier to get an abortion. And so another baby will die because of a fraud who collects money donated to go directly to save babies and instead it pays her $80.000 a year salary and for rehabbing offices that don’t exist. Perpetual fundraising campaigns for a state of the art ultrasound tour bus, that is never in use except photo-ops, it’s ridiculous. For this church to support this chameleon is wrong and it’s sinful.

Many cars stopped to look and read our signs. We received several honks and thumbs up. Only one young woman, probably prochoice, gave us the middle finger. Members of this church had obviously been given a heads up and tried to avoid the signs, but they couldn’t help but look as they turned into the parking lot for services. One woman pulled over and wanted to know more. We gently informed her of the heresy. She was appalled. She encouraged us to keep the faith and keep exposing churches like this one and the wolves in sheep’s clothing. She went on to say in the end times the Bible tells us that it will be a small remnant that stands alone and changes the world. So true.

HOPE CLINIC'S YOGENDRA SHAH "HOUSE OF HORRORS" BUTCHERS ANOTHER WOMAN!

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 13:50:57 GMT

February 2015

It happened again,..we just received word and the 911 tape from Yogendra Shah's Peoria ,Illinois abortion mill, "National Health Care", where a small group sometimes stands praying. On Wednesday, February 25th, 2015, a witness just happen to show up outside the abortion mill, when the ambulance arrived and took a woman in distress to the local hospital. This same scenario happens quite often in Granite City, Illinois at Hope Clinic for Women, where Shah is the chief abortionist. Mr. Shah has given up his medical practice and is killing babies full time in Granite City. He admittedly makes more money off of performing four abortions rather than getting woke up in the middle of the night to delivery one baby. He kills in Granite City, Illinois on Tuesday, Friday & Saturday. On Wenesdays, he moonlights up to Peoria to kill babies. Shah has been killing babies for over 37 years in Granite City, approx 400,000 innocent babies just in Granite City, Illinois. This butcher has not made enough money off dead babies, I surmise, or he really loves his job. " Pam " is still answering phones at this Peoria, Illinois slaughterhouse where we asked if the same butcher was working that almost killed that girl in Feburary? "click".

Yesterday, we knew something was out of sorts when "new mom" and abortionist Erin Lee King shortened her maternity leave and arrived to begin the slaughter in Granite City, Illinois. Repeat, botched abortionist Yogendra Shah is more than likely laying low until the "dust settles" on yet another one of his"botched abortions". How many more women have to be killed or maimed by these legal back alley abortionist before the state of Illinois steps in? If this were a real physician, his licensed would of been pulled and this mill shut down. Even a tattoo parlor has more oversight and regulations and inspections.

According to FOIA 911 tape the call was placed early in morning where a young woman was overheard requesting an ambulance to National Healthcare for a woman who was having complications. The operator asked "if the patient was still breathing"? the caller responded "Yes, but having difficulty". The 911 operator went back and forth a few times requesting pertinent information to access the condition of patient and abortion clinic caller was being evasive with her answers as not to acknowledge the real problem . This is a very dangerous and seedy, lucrative business. Evidently, the love of money is the root of all evil ..How can anyone call butchering women and murdering babies, " HEALTHCARE "?

The investigation is still active and forthcoming. Will update later.

Another Botched Abortion at Hope Clinic

MOSAIC PREGNANCY & HEALTH CENTER’S POLICIES KILLS BABIES…PERIOD.

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 13:47:24 GMT

February 2015

Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.

2 Peter 2:2

The best scam going lately is duping churches and donors that their donations are “ saving ” babies from abortion, when in reality their donations are going in the director’s pockets. Do your homework! Mosaic takes in over $600,000 a year; their director Kathy Sparks pays herself $80,000 a year, and they refuse to help desperate pregnant women with baby supplies or anything else. Who are they helping? Sounds like themselves. We recently received a call from a girl that went to Mosaic in Granite City and she told us she was refused help or assistance due to their policies. She just had a baby less than two weeks before and needed a crib, diapers, and baby clothing. The Mosaic intake worker told her that because she did not come to their center at the onset (beginning) of her pregnancy that they could not help her.

Why would anyone believe this center’s claims that they are saving babies with their donations when they refuse to help pregnant women? Surely, church leaders and their congregations must be ignorant of this troubling fact; otherwise how could they continue to support these do-nothing pregnancy centers? And, to make matters worse; this disease is spreading in the by-state area. “Options Now” aka “Arms of Love” is another dormant pregnancy center in Alton, Illinois, that is following the same deceptive path.

Understand, they too recently changed their name and policies. Just recently they refused to help an abortion bound pregnant girl we had talked out of her scheduled abortion when she sought their assistance. She was told they no longer give out baby supplies, or offer classes. The only thing they do offer is a pregnancy test/ ultrasound once a week by a physician. They too, are now considered a “health center” just as Mosaic in Granite City. “Options Now,” according to their annual non-profit report, admits to taking in over $307,000 last year, and of this the director received $60.000. Ironically, they have not changed their website which still offers assistance and materials.

So, the question is; where is the rest of the money going? It sure as heck is not saving babies as both centers claim. Reportedly, Sparks keeps spending donors money on rehabbing buildings that no longer exist, such as Mosaic’s Edwardsville, Illinois office. How stupid are people? It’s on their tax return. Look it up. In 2012 Sparks reportedly took in just under $1,000,000.00 dollars and less than $5,600 dollars went to pregnant women and their babies. That’s less than one percent! Don’t these pregnancy centers have a conscience or moral values anymore? As a human rights advocate there is something ethically wrong with these pregnancy health centers policies. They collect donations (money) directed to aid pregnant women and their babies, and they are not using it to help women or babies. And they definitely are not stopping abortions.

On the other hand, desperate pregnant women do know where to turn when Mosaic and others have turned them down for help or assistance because we intercept them at the abortion mill. Skeptical; have questions? Come and stand with us. Better yet, try and call a pregnancy center for help. If you’ve donated to these organizations you have a right to know where your money is going. One has to ask, “ Why are these directors of pregnancy health centers taking in so much money and paying themselves outrageous salaries for doing nothing, while frustrated pregnant women are contacting Small Victories day and night for help?”

1 Timothy 6:10

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

“It’s a Baby!” CONGRATULATIONS!

Hope Clinic & Planned Parenthood abortionists become first-time parents.

2015

Written by Angela Michael

Matthew 6:24

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despised the other. You cannot serve God and Money”.

Erin, it’s not a choice, or a blob, or a fetus (words you’ve used when talking to your abortion patients) but it’s a fully human baby. It appears congrats are in order to the new parents who also perform abortions on both sides of the river. Abortionist, Dr. Erin Lee King, and her abortionist husband, Dr. David Eisenberg, have had their first baby. Many times outside the Hope abortion mill in Granite City, Illinois we have gently rebuked Ms. King before she enters the slaughterhouse to begin the butchering of babies. Just recently we offered, “One day you will become a mother and, as you hold your newborn in your arms and look into your li’l boy or li’l girl’s face, you will remember those faces of the thousands of babies you have killed.” Our ministry will continue praying for the conversion of both abortionists, but until then we pray that now that Erin King is a mother, she will embrace her new role and fall in love with the precious gift of life she holds every day in her arms. We ask that her heart will be touched so that she realizes the humanity, and potential in each unborn baby; that every child born is full of endless possibilities; that she would understand that only God can give life and only God can take life. Yes, let that be her life song from this day forward. Congratulations again and spoil that little one.

MOSAIC/THRIVE ST. LOUIS Pregnancy Centers

Cash Cows of Metro-St. Louis: Certain pro-life organizations would rather perpetuate abortion than prevent abortion

January 2012

Why do pregnancy centers that collect OVER $1 million per year and pay their directors $80,000 per year exist?Because they are “window dressers”.They have lost their focus and have fallen in love with making money.They have turned into financial businesses.Unfortunately, this is exactly what Thrive St. Louis andMosaic Pregnancy Center do.They are supposed to be helping women and their unborn children.At both of these centers, pregnant women have to be a so-called “client” of theirs, take classes, and register before they give birth to their baby to receive any help.If a desperate mom in need of baby supplies and immediate assistance visits one of these centers for help after she has given birth to her baby she cannot get any help, unfortunately, because that is their standard policy.

Mosaic Pregnancy Center just last year collected approximately $760,000 in donations and grants, and approximately $550,000 was paid out in salaries and employee benefits alone, http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments//2010/371/218/2010-371218460-072720ba-9.pdf . Only a few thousand dollars actually went towards helping moms and babies in need. What a disgrace and shame! They have turned their operation of a pregnancy center into a money grubbing business. At least they have quit advertising in the Catholic Times newspaper asking for more money under the guise of a Catholic organization. A couple of years ago, they presented an advertisement in the newspaper saying, “As Catholics, we,” trying to pass themselves off as a Catholic organization in order to collect more money.

Almost two years ago, March 9, 2010, at Illinois legislator day, Mosaic Pregnancy Center director Kathy Sparks was passing herself off to legislators in Springfield, IL claiming that she was the ministry performing ultrasounds outside the Hope Clinic in Granite City. We caught her red-handed as we were only feet behind her in the reception line greeting the legislators. Maybe that is why she took off and out the doors when she saw us in line. You can only imagine how embarrassing it was as we introduced ourselves to the lawmakers and had to correct them. Performing free ultrasounds outside the Hope abortion Clinic has been a part of Small Victories’ daily ministering as we have for the past twenty years.

The reason our ministry started was because Sparks ’ center was referring women for abortions and was not helping desperate women in need. Referring girls to the abortion clinic was brought to our attention by a pregnancy center in Collinsville , Illinois . They, too, were encountering business cards from New Beginnings/Mosaic that referred girls to the abortion clinic. Marilyn Welling was one of the several volunteers who brought this to our attention.

Another instance of deception is the Shawn Reagan fiasco. On March 17, 2005 our ministry was alone standing outside Hope abortion Clinic. Once again, another underage girl was brought for an abortion. Her frantic parents showed up outside the mill pleading, trying to get inside after their daughter’s school notified them that she was not in school. They discovered that she had been brought for an abortion that they had no knowledge of and did not want to happen. The girl’s mother, Shawn Reagan, cried out, “That’s my grandchild! I should be in there with my daughter.” Shawn was arrested and placed inside a police cruiser. For several hours we called law enforcement officials and the State’s Attorney to no avail. We contacted the local media, and they covered this tragic situation fairly well. This mother had no access to her daughter or grandchild. Only hours later was this 14 year old girl thrown out to her mother who sat in a squad car most of the time.

The family had many problems after this episode. It was all over the media. Kathy Sparks took full advantage of this tragic situation by imploring Shawn Reagan to do three fundraising banquets for New Beginnings/Mosaic. This was relayed to us by Shawn Reagan herself after Kathy Sparks paraded her around from fundraiser to fundraiser like a trophy. I asked Shawn, “Did you get paid for this?” She answered, “No.” “How did Kathy Sparks help you?” Shawn replied, “All Kathy Sparks did was give my daughter a pregnancy test in the beginning, and then she just paraded me around to do fundraising banquets for her.” I questioned, “Well, how did this help you?” Shawn responded, “It didn’t. You’re the one who helped me and my daughter outside that abortion clinic.”

This displays the character of Kathy Sparks. She is there to LOOK like she is doing pro-life work while she hijacks the work of others who are. We crashed her little “glory party” when we showed up at the Missouri state capital where legislators and media were listening to testimonials concerning underage girls being brought over state lines to Illinois to have secret abortions . Kathy Sparks, along with Representative Jane Cunningham and former Pregnancy Resource Center director and Sparks ’ mentor John McCastle sat with Ms. Reagan. Surprise, we were seated with the pro-aborts. When legislators asked for any further testimony from witnesses we held our hands up and were asked to present it. We gave them heaven and told the truth about who and what organization is standing outside this abortion facility in Granite City, Illinois holding these distraught mothers of underage girls coming across state lines. And it is not Kathy Sparks.

We gave the lawmakers facts and statistics on this occurrence and the rise of abortion clients coming from Missouri . We shared several tragic situations and also informed them that we are the only pregnancy resource outside this abortion mill that is open everyday as an alternative to abortion-bound women. We also stated that we do not discriminate. We help everyone in all stages of pregnancy and at all hours. Girls do not have to jump through hoops in order to receive assistance.

Why would Kathy Sparks choose to selectively help pregnant girls? She goes so far as to state on her brochure that girls must come to her pregnancy center at the onset of their pregnancy and must take classes in order to then receive help. In addition, Sparks limits ultrasounds to women who are only in their first trimester. This is exactly why abortion-bound women are not walking into pregnancy centers like Mosaic and Thrive seeking help. Rather, they are dashing to abortion mills that are more than willing to provide an immediate “solution.” And that is why our ministry is so vital.

Thrive St. Louis collected $1.7 million last year and less than 10% went to actually help moms and their unborn babies http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments//2010/431/304/2010-431304395-070129d1-9.pdf . Over half of the amount they collected went towards salaries and employee benefits, with very little going towards helping women in need. Thrive St. Louis is still in denial over hiring a pro-choice Miss Missouri to speak at their major fundraising banquet in 2004.

Ministries such as the two above should not be masquerading themselves around as doers of God’s work when they are actually living off of the abortion holocaust ravaging our nation. Innocent babies are dying, and they are worried about how much money they can make. They have lost their focus. Instead of preventing abortion they are propping it up. If abortion came to an end tomorrow they would be jumping off their buildings. Why aren’t newspapers like the St. Louis Post Dispatch or the disgraceful St. Louis MetroVoice run by Jim Day reporting these facts? WHERE IS THEIR ACCOUNTABILITY?

Jim Judge of the Better Business Bureau of St. Louis recently reported that with any non-profit organization, over 65% of the money collected should go directly towards their stated purpose, not to salaries. It is very clear that both of these organizations do not come anywhere close to meeting this guideline. Both of the directors of these organizations and anyone else in the organization that receives a paycheck should be exposed as frauds.

Our Small Victories ministry collected $101,000 in donations last year and almost 75% of the money collected went towards helping moms and their babies, both directly and indirectly, as well as helping others in need.

So, the next time you think of donating to Mosaic Pregnancy Center in Granite City or Thrive St. Louis, think of two wolves in sheep’s clothing, or just better yet, throw your money out in the street and watch it blow down the road. Elaborate closed buildings do not help desperate women in need or save babies scheduled to die. When a pregnancy center discriminates and makes it hard enough for pregnant women to receive the bare essentials, it is just pushing them into the abortion clinic that is open and willing to help mothers terminate their pregnancies. Both of these centers stand behind their faith and feel justified with their rules and regulations, but Jesus would never stay in a building and pay himself an exorbitant salary. He went out into the streets seeking the lost and needy. Babies are not dying at pregnancy centers; they are dying at abortion mills.

Proverbs 14:31 “He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.”

“MOSAIC PREGNANCY CENTER IN GRANITE CITY IS A RACKET”

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 13:35:27 GMT

November 2012

Written by Angela Michael

“The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered innocent men who were not opposing you.”

James 5:4-6

Years ago, executive director Kathy Sparks exploited pregnant women and killed babies behind the abortion clinic doors. She says she has changed her ways, repented, and started a chain of dormant pregnancy centers. For the past twenty years outside the Hope Clinic in Granite City it has been obvious to our vital ultrasound/pregnancy resource ministry and many abortion-bound clients that Kathy Sparks continues to exploit pregnant women and kill babies by her actions under the guise of being a Christian and pro-life. Her pregnancy centers discriminate and make it nearly impossible to receive on-the-spot help for desperate pregnant women. And where are mothers to go after they have delivered their babies and need help?

Kathy Sparks is like President Barack Obama: she talks smooth and is very convincing; she is a great salesman, but she is not saving babies or helping women, contrary to her radio ads and billboards. We have exposed and confronted her on several occasions, but she cons her donors and steals others’ work to print in her newsletters in order to build her financial empire on the backs of desperate pregnant women and dead babies.

Now, Sparks’ latest money-making scheme is to raise funds for an ultrasound van. She only needs twenty thousand more dollars to obtain a van. Sparks has been saying this for over a year now as she panders to the churches to, “Go into the inner city and reach out to women who need her.” REALLY? Where have you been, Kathy? You refuse to help women in your hometown of Granite City. Are you going to make the poor pregnant women take classes in order to obtain an STD test , a package of diapers , or a car seat like you have been doing for years? Our ultrasound / pregnancy resource ministry has been going out into the streets and helping those very same women your pregnancy centers have been turning away for decades now.

Why isn’t Sparks helping abortion-bound women? This should tell you that she is not pro-life; rather she is pro-money. Unfortunately, Sparks is similar to many other pro-life organizations that are not here to see abortion end. And God forbid, they don’t chastise one another because these pro-life centers are making money hand over fist and vying for the same dollar. They, like many financial businesses, would be jumping off their buildings if abortion came to an end overnight. She’s an entertainer and a liar. And just like President Obama, uneducated people think Sparks can walk on water. So more babies die.

We begged Sparks’ pregnancy center to help us outside the Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill decades ago; each time we begged for an ultrasound, she refused to open her doors. At one point, we called the emergency number, and we were told to just let the 17 week pregnant girl go, “especially if she is on drugs or alcohol.” We were devastated. It took two days to kill that baby, and we witnessed the execution while Kathy Sparks was out of town on another speaking engagement.

Look at Sparks’ reported income. It should reveal her true character. She is here to build a financial empire on murdered babies. Many witnesses who stand with us outside the abortion mill are aware of her lies. Several have tried speaking with her and have gone to her offices, if they are open...if we have an appointment.

Many pregnant girls have fallen through the pro-life cracks due to Mosaic’s restrictions i.e.: Must come to Mosaic at the onset of pregnancy; must take classes to qualify for baby supplies; must accept Jesus on the spot; must be in the first trimester to receive an ultrasound; must be on Tuesday afternoons only. These desperate women end up coming to the local abortion mill to get help; we have intercepted them. Mosaic is a running joke inside the abortion mill and to city inhabitants seeking assistance.

At least Kathy Sparks’ tax return form of 2011 states that she only provides abstinence education; no mention of helping pregnant women. Sparks continues to pay herself approximately $80,000 annually. Most recent tax returns report that she took in approximately $959,971 in 2009, $760,000 in 2010, and $443,000 in 2011. Less than $5,600 reportedly was spent on pregnant women. Visit www.guidestar.org under “Metro East Crisis Pregnancy Centers Inc” to see the truth of where retirees’ donations are going.

When we broke the story on Sparks and her relationship with Thrive STL and Miss Missouri, plans to try and destroy our vital ministry were being plotted. When you tell the truth, it becomes hate. All of the sudden “anonymous” and slanderous websites went up. We have successfully connected the perpetrators. As the defunct Christian tabloid publication, “St. Louis Metro Voice” told us, “This was Small Victories’ payback for exposing Pregnancy Resource Center, Kathy Sparks, and Miss Missouri” according to founder and editor Jim Day.

Even a defaming and slanderous website against our 20 year daily ministry outside the Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill has not “gotten rid of us” as these despicable so-called Christians have schemed to do. Psalms 101:5 “Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him I will put to silence.” If God be for us, who would go against us? That should tell you the condition of most pastors and churches nowadays. Read “Chatham Bible Church and Tim Keating Exposed”

Unfortunately, the pro-life movement has become a financial industry and a career for many people, including Sparks. It’s good to want to teach young women how to become great mothers with classes and support, but pregnant moms need help right now. They cannot wait weeks or months for assistance or jump through hoops to get a layette. Kathy knows her former employee in Granite City, Hope Clinic , is there with open arms to help pregnant women with one choice: abortion . There will never be unity where individuals posing as “anti-abortion” are making a fortune by scamming donors and living off of innocent blood. That’s why abortion continues 40 years later.

Other good organizations are too afraid to speak out and chastise their own because they too are striving for that pro-life dollar. Cash cow rackets include 40 Days for Life, Coalition for Life St.Louis, Life Choice, Vitae Society, Priests for Life, Thrive St. Louis , and most pregnancy resource centers. (call and ask for a crib) They do nothing to very little to stop abortion except to send out mass e-mails and fund-raising letters to make more money. They make Bernie Madoff look like a saint.

Now on the bright side: I guess you could say that our pioneering ultrasound streets ministry has forced these much larger cash cow organizations out of their buildings. Sort of a back handed compliment to our 20 years of daily ministry. Over 4300 babies have been saved from abortion and many mothers helped with assistance to continue their pregnancies. 43 babies have been adopted. I don’t put much faith in any of them to do what they claim they will be doing, or in inclement weather as we have done, but “Thank You “, all the same. It’s good to know we started a wildfire from a little brushfire, in doing God’s calling. Transparency and accountability can be viewed on our fruitful website.

We will keep confronting what is evil and exposing the unfruitful works of darkness.

ST. PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH PARISHONER KILLS BABY

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 13:26:58 GMT

April 1, 2014

Written by Angela Michael

2 Timothy 3:2 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good…

We arrived in the City of Slaughter as it was Tuesday, “midnight abortions” . Abortion bound mothers and their accomplices were just pulling onto the empty parking lot. We parked and unloaded as we quickly set up our outreach to the abortion minded.

It was the usual scenario of more Black Americans killing their babies with a peppering of whites using surgical abortion as their birth control. Tuesdays are always harder to get understand, due to the fact that more late term babies abortions are started on Tuesday and Friday as it will take a couple of days for these mothers cervix’s to dilate in order to accommodate the large babies to be dismembered. From the lineup we viewed, it was apparent there was a lot of late terms today. We gently called over to the women and their drivers to please consider other options that we could help them with. We pointed to the ultrasound van and many looked over, some sarcastically questioned our offers to help them asking if we would write them a check for money to keep their babies, ect.. We didn’t give up as we gave them heaven in speaking the gospel to them and that God had a plan for their lives and their innocent babies.. The Word never fails.

A couple came over to us and requested an ultrasound. We asked some preliminaries and brought them inside. While we were accessing the situation and scanning, a car pulled up right in front of the prolifer. The car looked very familiar. It had personalized plates and an outer plate cover identifying a church we knew well.

Judy was astonished, she commented to the woman as she got out of her car, “You’re Catholic?” “You know better than to kill a baby”. The pregnant woman began giggling. We noticed she had car seat in the back seat as she grabbed her purse. And get this, her personalized plate said it all: “ILOVME1” the cover plate had ST.PAUL CATHOLIC SCHOOL and two crosses on it. Joke!

Well, you have to know this church of the “living dead” and the money that flows through it. Even if this pastor was prolife he wouldn’t preach on it or against abortion except once a year, as not to offend the tithers. He like so many dormant priests and clergy want money in those baskets every Sunday and pastors nowadays are there to entertain their flock, not teach or preach against sin and God’s judgment. Read : Another Causality of the Lavender Mafia Churches are mostly just gathering places to make people feel good. When people feel good their wallets come out. So, viewing another Catholic woman coming for an abortion flies in the face of God Almighty, but, this woman like so may others could care less about God. They think they can go confess their sin to some guy in a closet and they’re good. It’s called “greasy grace” . After all, her plates sum it up, she doesn’t love God, if she did she would know this is a commandment not to kill, not a suggestion. Catholics like so many do their ritual things and may live a religious life, but it’s not a righteous life. The St. Paul woman smiled all the way inside the abortion mill, unheeding the prolifers words and warnings of God’s Word. We continued with our scanning and viewing an approx 17 week old baby boy auditioning for his life in our ultrasound van. Tears of joy came from both parents faces as they listened to their son’s little heartbeat…142 per minute. We went over resources and physician follow-up and they thanked us for being there and helping them on the spot. They didn’t keep their appointment and walked over to their car and we watched them drive off. Praise God!

The Highland, Illinois, St. Paul Catholic Church mother never came back out some 3.5 hours later she was still inside killing her unborn baby as the abortionist Erin Lee King arrived and pulled into the abortion mill garage, smiling.

Protesters' photos may be clue in rape case - "Arkansas Rapist Caught!"

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 13:22:22 GMT

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

November 17, 2006

By Shane Graber

G RANITE CITY — The Arkansas cop admits he was just taking a chance when he called the couple that protests at the abortion clinic here.

Turns out, it might have paid off

Detective Jimmy Long, an investigator in Bryant , Ark. , was building a case on a man suspected of sexually abusing a 15-year-old girl. Long had a tip that the man got her pregnant and brought her to the Hope Clinic for Women here for an abortion.

That happens to be where Daniel and Angela Michael have camped out for years photographing just about every car that comes in the parking lot. As founders of Small Victories Ministries, they oppose abortion.

This week, Long stumbled across the couple while doing an Internet search on the clinic.

"When I called them, I thought my chances were slim to none," Long said in a telephone interview. "But I called anyway. And it turns out they had them."

What the couple had, police and Daniel Michael said, were three pictures that could prove to be critical.

Last month, Bryant police responded to a disturbance at the home of Jeffery Cheshier, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. A girl told police that Cheshier, 41, had sexually abused her for a year.

The teen told police he got her pregnant and took her to a St. Louis-area abortion clinic in March, the affidavit said. At Long's request, the Michaels searched thousands of photographs to see if they had a picture of the vehicle the detective was looking for.

"Every day they're open, we're there," Daniel Michael, 48, said. "We try to talk the girls out of abortion."

They didn't talk to the man police were looking for, Michael said.

"Not everybody wants to talk," he said.

Michael said he and his wife photograph the vehicles in case anything illegal happens at the clinic. They keep every picture. As it turned out, they had three pictures of what Long said is Cheshier's car.

Hope Clinic Executive Director Sally Burgess could not comment on the rape allegations because of patient confidentiality laws. But the clinic has safeguards to protect teenagers, she said.

"If a teenager lets on to us that something of this nature is occurring, we're absolutely going to notify the authorities," she said.

The clinic asks a patient three times if the pregnancy is the result of rape. If it is, clinic officials respond, Burgess said.

Cheshier is now in Arkansas ' Saline County Jail in lieu of $75,000 bail. A neighboring county has $50,000 bail on him.

Police from the two counties are filing rape cases to the prosecuting attorney's office. Long expects the photographs will play a big part.

"I feel good about it," he said.

Arkansas Rapist Caught

Ministry's photograph gives evidence of forced abortion

Teen accused man of rape, pro-life group documented her clinic visit

November 18, 2006

A Christian ministry whose leaders have spent 14 years outside an abortion clinic in Granite City , Ill. , taking photographs of abortionists, clinic employees and customers are being credited with the arrest of a man on suspicion of the rape of a child.

Bryant , Ark. , Det. Jimmy Long has confirmed it was a photograph provided by the Small Victories ministry across state lines that helped secure a case against suspect Jeffery Cheshier, 41, who had been accused by an underage girl of rape.

But she reported he forced her to go to the "Hope" Clinic for Women abortion business in Granite City for an abortion, so there was no evidence – until Long ran across a reference to the Small Victories ministry and he checked their web site.

When he contacted the pro-life group, they were able to provide photographs, with an identifiable license plate number, of the suspect's car at the abortion business at the time the girl claimed she was taken there.

Angela Michael, who with her husband Daniel and their children run Small Victories, had just returned home from doing a radio program, and her husband told her to take the telephone because it was a detective.

It was Long, who said he was calling on a hunch. He described the situation.

"I saw that you have pictures and archives," Long said, according to Angela. He wanted to know if there was a photograph of a certain car at the abortion business on a certain date.

"I said to (daughter) Mia, 'Look this up,'" Angela said. "And we had three incriminating pictures."

"I remembered how upset she was, and pleading with him (the suspect) not to make her go in," she said. "The detective asked, 'Do you have the car?' 'Yes.' 'Do you have the plate?' 'Yes.' And I read it to him."

"And in the background I heard the clicking of the handcuffs," Angela Michael said, along with the comment "We've got him." The suspect now is being held on $75,000 bond on counts being developed in two counties, authorities said.

Long told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he called even though he believed his chances were "slim to none."

The rape allegation was made by the 15-year-old when officers responded to Cheshier's home recently on a disturbance call. She told them that Cheshier had sexually abused her for a year.

The clinic's executive director, Sally Burgess, told KSDK television she knew nothing about this particular case but there are safeguards in place to protect juveniles.

"Anytime a teenager lets on to us that she's in any sort of jeopardy, we are going to do what's in her best interest and that's report it to the authorities," she said.

Angela Michael said she's been monitoring the clinic for 14 years, and has heard testimony from numerous former workers. All the clinic asks the girls, she told WND, is Visa or Mastercard?

Police in Bryant told the station in light of what happened to the alleged victim, questions need to be asked.

"Even as officers, we see a lot of stuff but this is very disturbing to us," said Sgt. Harold Edmonson. "I've been in law enforcement 20 years and this is a first for me. We need to make some stricter laws on this."

Angela Michael said the Granite City clinic is known nationwide because of the circumstances. Its abortionists do late-term abortions and the state of Illinois has no parental notification law.

The ministry parks its ultrasound van on the public street in front of the abortion business and encourages girls to miss their abortion appointments. Angela Michael said she's seen "an abundance" of cases where an older man obviously is forcing an underage girl into the clinic.

Calling Granite City authorities, however, has been futile, even though there are mandatory reporting requirements if there is a suspicion of assault or injury to a child.

"Those police officers are to serve and protect, but who are they serving and protecting?" she asked.

The situation is one that has come up in other places. In Kansas , outgoing Attorney General Phill Kline sought records from abortion clinics after statistics showed there were dozens of abortions on underage girls, but no reports of rape on a child, despite state laws requiring those reports.

The abortion industry reportedly responded to his investigation of those circumstances with an organized campaign to deny him re-election in favor of a candidate who had publicly promised to discontinue those investigations.

Operation Rescue, one of the nation's leading pro-life Christian groups, watched the developments closely, and said Kline's investigation of abortion clinics for "the concealment of child rape and illegal late-term abortions" was the key to the race.

" Kansas has opted to continue the practice of looking the other way when innocent young girls are taken to abortion clinics by their rapists, who are looking to destroy the evidence of their crimes," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "It has also voted to ignore violations of Kansas law that bans post viability abortions."

Kline had cited the 2003 state statistic that there were 78 abortions on girls under the age of 15. In a state where the legal age of consent is 16, how could 78 girls become pregnant and obtain abortions without a single report of sexual assault, or rape, on a child, he wondered.

He went to court to obtain the records, and just recently announced they had been forwarded to him from a district court where identifying information about the procedures was removed.

He also just confirmed a few days ago, in an interview with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, that the medical records also indicate late-term abortions that were done for reasons that Kansas law doesn't allow.

His Democratic opponent had said during his campaign he would start a domestic violence unit, without any additional expense to the state.

"Some of the money that's been used on misplaced priorities could easily fund" the plans, he had told the Lawrence Journal-World.

He cited Kline's investigation of the abortion businesses run by George Tiller in Wichita and Planned Parenthood as an example.

The Democrat also got a huge boost in his campaign when a non-profit organization that the newspaper linked to Tiller mailed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of mailings critical of Kline.

"One of the first steps for a rapist when they have a child victim and the child is pregnant is to eradicate the evidence of the rape," Kline.

Hope Clinic Child Rapist Found Dead

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 13:15:54 GMT

July 17, 2007

The body of Jeffrey Dean Cheshier 41, an apparent suicide victim, was found Tuesday, July 17 ^th near the 200 block of Albright Road .

This horrific story broke after Small Victories Ministry was contacted by detectives from the Bryant, Arkansas police department in November 2006 after viewing their website www.smallvictoriesusa.com to see if they had any information that would help place Cheshier at the Hope abortion Clinic on a particular day in March 2006. Daniel and Angela Michael provided the police with pictures of Cheshier and the vehicle used. Cheshier was arrested on multiple counts of rape that began on a 13-year-old victim.

Garland County sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle in a private driveway shortly before 4 p.m. and found a silver car parked there with the trunk open and doors unlocked.

The vehicle keys were located in the trunk and no one was around so deputies contacted the registered owner of the vehicle and she stated her son had taken the car.

A witness, 25, at the residence said he had heard a "pop like a bottle rocket" or a small caliber gun earlier while he was standing by the vehicle.

Sheriff’s deputy Butch Tosh and his K-9 partner, Cal, responded to the scene and conducted a search and located the body of Jeffrey Cheshier who died from a single self-inflicted gunshot wound. No foul play is suspected in the victim’s death.

Cheshier was set to stand trial Aug. 21 on two counts of rape in Garland County Circuit Court and multiple rape charges out of Saline County, all reportedly involving the same now 15-year-old victim.

He was free on $50,000 bail while awaiting trial and was set to appear next week for a hearing to consider merging all his charges and for a change of venue.

This unfortunate crime of child rape is played out every day. This one just got caught. Unfortunately, it ended tragically. One can only imagine the pain and guilt Cheshier felt after stealing this young girl’s innocence that would force a man in the prime of his life to take the coward’s way out of his problems. Psalm 38:4 “My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.” Without Jesus in his heart, Jeffrey Cheshier was a fugitive until his death.

There are many victims in this heartbreaking situation; our hearts and prayers go out to all involved.

"Where's Al Sharpton? Obama? Eric Holder & the Black Pastors?"

Midwest largest late term abortion mill, Hope Clinic, is conveniently located in Granite City, Illinois, five minutes from East St. Louis, Illinois, highly populated poverty and Black crime ridden area and especially targets low income and poor black women. Over 70% of abortion clients are Black Americans. They provide private funds for black women and their abortions. Who's the racist now?

Black Sheriff Says if Black Lives Mattered They’d Protest at Abortion Clinics

by Carole Novielli | Washington , DC | LifeNews.com | 12/30/14 12:00 PM

CNN’s Poppy Harlow interviewed Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke about the recent protests that some in the Black Community have sparked after the police related deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

Harlow asked the Sheriff, who has been on several news shows on Fox and others, about a tweet he sent out implying that if Black lives mattered the protesters would be outside abortion clinics because of the high numbers of black babies killed by abortion.

The tweet sent by Sheriff Clarke, a black man himself, was sent to Mitch Smith, Journalist in the Chicago bureau of The New York Times and read, “If only these faux protesters were asked by media about all the black on black killing or black babies aborted in US every year.“

Poppy asked the Sheriff if he sent the tweet, “Yes I did,” Sheriff Clark responded.

He continued, “When I hear these things that Black lives matter, the only people who really believe that statement are American police officers who go into American ghettos every day to keep people from killing each other. Alright, so, yes I did say that and I meant it. Look, the abortions? If Black lives – if they really mattered, that’s where the outrage would be that’s where we’d see protests…”

This blog has proven time and again that abortion targets the Black community. Stats released by the CDC again prove that minorities are killed by abortion in disproportionate numbers. In fact, according to the most recent numbers , 36.2% of the total number of abortions recorded for race or ethnicity were reported on Black women.

Mississippi, which currently has only one abortion clinic in the state, had the highest number of abortions reported on Black women coming in at 63.4%.

Alabama , reported that 58.7% of their abortions were on Blacks while in Georgia they reported 52.1% abortions on Black.

Tennessee performed 49.9% of their abortions on Black women and Virginia performed 43.9% on Black women, while Michigan s Black abortion percentage was 47.9%.

New York City alone performed 46.1% of their abortions on Black women and 41.1% of Black abortions was reported in Missouri .

It is a known fact that a majority of abortions are performed by Planned Parenthood.

Despite their founder’s link to the Klan and the racist eugenics movement, not one protest from the Black Lives Matter movement led by abortion advocates like Rev. Al Sharpton has been organized outside Planned Parenthood. Even when Planned Parenthood left a 24-year-old Black woman bleeding to death in their Chicago clinic , Sharpton said nothing. That woman’s name was Tonya Reaves and the only protests on her behalf were organized by black leaders within the pro-life movement.

So that begs the question, initiated by Sheriff Clark, if Black Lives Matter, and they certainly do, why is it that the one place known for killing off black babies and a black woman is not being protested?

"If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31

November 15, 2014

"God call us to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable". With that being said, it appears that the "truth is hate to those who hate the truth," .. they only want positive messages. Here is one for the books : Today in the bitter cold, we stood as the sun was rising outside the abortion mill in Granite City, Illinois. Cars mostly from MO., a few IL., one North Carolina. Some were from the day before.

We spoke to a couple from Illinois staring at our graphic sign . She started crying as we gently offered her another picture of her baby. We pointed to the ultrasound van and our precious babies pictured. She listened when we said, “Women don't need abortion, they need Jesus” ,. Second later they ran up to the abortion mill door and went inside. A few minutes later, all three came back out. The male cursed, "Jesus sucks"! at us. The woman looked up into my face and tears were streaming down her face said, "Thank you, I'm not doing it" . He was angry and pulled off the lot passing us. One precious baby saved.

As we pulled into a truck stop / gas station on our way home, a woman came from her car knocked on my window and proceeded to tell me a testimony. She said, “I just wanted to thank you. I have a testimony. I see you all here every week getting gas, I raised 4 kids”, she named them and their ages, “I taught them right and even bought protection for them if needed, but my 15 yr old came home couple months ago, she was 5 wks preg. I was tore up,..but I remembered your van, and I kept thinking about what it said”, "Rescuing babies, changing hearts, saving lives, one at a time," and she started tearing up, “I just wanted to tell you "WE NEED MORE SMALL VICTORIES, and we kept the baby" . I just wanted to tell you that ".

I got out of the ultrasound van and embraced this messenger that God sent today to give us a shot of encouragement and another sign of confirmation.. You see, sometimes friends, we may not be comfortable with hearing or seeing the truth, but the truth is always necessary. The “truth” sets us free. Sometimes the "truth" is more important than money or friends, and of course, "real friends", can handle the truth. It's always been that way.

Thank you friends, for your love and support. Be at peace. Go out into the world and make a difference. <*)))><

SMALL VICTORIES AGREES WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 13:02:21 GMT

2014

“What” did you say?.. Yes, it’s true , after watching my ole friend Paula Gianano from Missouri’s “last standing” abortion mill over the river at Forest Park and Boyle in St. Louis, get some face time, sadly, I had to agree with her statement, that the recent so called victory (yet another abortion law) vetoed by Governor Nixon, but passed by the Missouri House and the Senate this past week will not stop a woman from getting an abortion, just makes it a little inconvenient. That is the abortion minded woman will have to travel a little distance from Planned Parenthood to come across the river and kill her unborn baby then dump it in Illinois at Hope Clinic where abortion bound women from Missouri and other surrounding states have done so for decades. That new 72 hour waiting period that all prolife profiteers are taking credit for as in “send us your money so we can save more babies” verbiage, truthfully, will not SAVE ONE let alone 1500 babies in 72 hrs logo manure..

It’s another useless bill that will not stop or protect any unborn babies in Missouri. They just make their appointment at Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois, Midwest largest late term abortion mill.

Fortunately, there will be “boots on the ground” so to say as we have been for over 21 years embedded in the trenches with the only ultrasound pregnancy outreach van, changing hearts and saving lives scheduled to die that day. So while prolife Missourians are patting themselves on the back and popping champagne corks, we will continue being a watchman on the wall, a window to the womb, and a voice for the voiceless. If Missouri really wants to stop abortion ,. Why don’t they pass a law making it a crime/ felony for a pregnant woman to cross state lines to kill a baby?

Be encouraged,

~Angela

MICHAEL BROWN 2014 & BLACK GENOCIDE

NO Justice: NO Peace

August 9, 2014

Written by Angela Michael

My heart goes out to the family of the Ferguson, Missouri teen who was shot down by a police officer, but I can’t help thinking of the many other senseless murders of young men and children that occur every day; but, unlike the tragic case of Michael Brown, these receive hardly any attention from media and organizations.

Consider, the same thing happens every night in Chicago, with multiple deaths at the hands of other black men; and then there’s North St. Louis and St Louis City. Where’s the national spot light then? Where is the NAACP then? Yes, outrage is pouring out onto the streets in Ferguson, but how often, when it’s black on black crime does the community refuse to “snitch” out on the suspect or those involved. And where is the NAACP? They are MIA.

And then there are the savage murders and beheadings of Iraqi Christian children by the invading militant ISIS group that’s currently in the news. People are rightly outraged, but the same grisly beheadings have been going on for over 40 years behind the purple doors of the abortion mill in Granite City. Where is the outrage for the slaughter of these innocents? And, sadly, of the multiplied thousands who have perished; over seventy percent are black children. When it comes right down to it, it seems to me that some of these outraged people need to do some soul searching before they beat their chests and point fingers. Let the truth be known, we have been sowing bloodshed in the womb for four decades, and now we are reaping it in the streets. Ultimately; different weapons, same results. Where there is no justice there will never be peace. Peace begins in the womb. As far as the looting and rioting,..it serves no purpose except to detract from the issue at hand, but plays into the hands of evil which is always looking for an excuse to surface.

Another Botched Abortion at Hope Clinic

Who Are The Real Terrorists?

Written by Angela Michael

More late term babies are being murdered in Granite City than any other metropolitan area due to the lawlessness here in Illinois and the abortionist’s love of money and greed.

On May 31st, another young girl was butchered inside Hope Clinic at the hands of abortionist Erin Lee King. Hope Clinic called for an ambulance and this time they by passed the Gateway Regional Hospital less than 50 ft across from the abortion mill and sped over to Barnes- Jewish in St. Louis, Missouri, only 7 minutes across the river in an effort to perform emergency surgery to keep this unresponsive botched abortion alive.

Again, this girl was late term from the day before, Friday, May 30 ^th . More than likely, Hope Clinic by passed Gateway Regional in Granite City, Illinois due to the recent mandatory reporting law issued here in Illinois. All hospitals are responsible for reporting any abortion complications and the abortionist who performed it when a patient is admitted or treated at their facility.

Now, you would think with ALL the money Erin Lee King’s parents invested in her education at all these various universities and medical schools she would know how to kill a baby! Geeez! But we also realize abortionists in the real medical field are considered 3 ^rd class, bottom feeders: scum in the medical establishment. The reason they’re abortionists is that they could not cut it in the real medical community. They do abortions, they don’t do REAL medicine. To her account, I believe this would be Erin King’s approx 9 ^th botched abortion to date that we have caught, since her arrival almost 4 years ago. How many more women have been butchered and go un- caught? More details to follow with FOIA .

We learned a long time ago with botched abortions and the Jane Doe lawsuit , one of many that we prevailed in, that the abortion mill will close down for several days or weeks after they butcher a woman during a late term abortion. It just depends on the severity of complications inside the slaughterhouse. Abortion mill staffers that are newbie’s or un-medicated during the horrific procedure usually need some time off to regroup after witnessing and participating in the grotesque torture rooms. It is a dirty business, it is not an appropriate or a legitimate medical procedure. Abortionist Dr. Erin King / Dr.Yogendra Shah and Hope Clinic baby killers make ISIS radical Muslims look like boy scouts.

Now let me ask you something, if this abortion mill were a veterinarians office or a orthopedic surgeon office and you witnessed several ambulances or stretcher hauling bloodied animals or patients over to the local hospital or the Missouri hospitals for emergency surgery, would you think the medical hirelings at either facility are qualified and competent? Do you think that negligence or malpractice may be an issue at either facility? Would we tolerate such substandard care on an a pet or grandma?

Then why are we allowing “dirty docs” to butcher pregnant women during abortion procedures? How many maimed and butchered women is enough to have the abortionist’s medical license pulled and an investigation begun?

Back alley abortions have not ended. They’re legal, and they cost more money.

HOPE ABORTION CLINIC in GRANITE CITY, ILLINOIS “HOUSE OF HORROR’S STORY” .. YET ANOTHER ONE.

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 12:53:23 GMT

June 16, 2014

Forward by Angela Michael

We were recently contacted by a young woman that was drugged and forced into a late term abortion against her will. Ironically, the abortion mill staff and abortion industry as a whole, force feeds society that every pregnant woman has a “choice” in the matter of her so called “ healthcare”. This “mirage” of choice is responsible for over 400,000 deaths at Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois alone. Over 57 million babies deaths across our nation. Hope Clinic is also responsible for the pain and suffering and metal anguish of many women including those who, like this woman almost lost her life, having suffered severe surgical complications through medical malpractice and incompetency at the hands of those entrusted to give standard medical care.

Remember, another infamous lie from the abortion industry is that, “Having an abortion is safer than childbirth”. My quandary is, do you think former abortionist, now convicted felon and murderer Kermit Gosnell is an anomaly? Hope Clinic, the Midwest’ largest late abortion mill operates its own lil’ house of horrors every week as the abortion mill staff, collaborators, and the churches just sing a lil louder to muffle the screams of those being butchered and the cries of those being murdered. Pray for this scarred mother and for healing but also pray for our desensitized conscious’s to be pricked and we grow some guts to fight for justice and against the atrocities and the inhumane treatment of babies..and their mothers to keep speaking out on the truth of abortion.~Angela

(editors note: the date and full name was omitted for privacy )

“I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for exposing the Hope Clinic . In what seemed like a make-believe horror film, my first child was murdered at this place. I am still trying to heal from this tragedy. I was drugged by my step-mother and taken to Hope Clinic at 6 months pregnant and age 15. I had to be rushed to a nearby hospital because I almost bled to death from a torn cervix. My baby was brutally torn from my womb while I fought with every ounce of strength that I had. I was held down, punched in the thighs repeatedly, and injected repeatedly with something, all while begging them not to kill my baby. Please don't stop telling the world what abortion does. God bless”. P.E.

The True Measure Of A Father...

June 2014

Written by Angela Michael

Fathers are the biggest source of strength for a child. Innocent eyes perceive “Dad” as the all-powerful super-hero; the most knowledgeable, truly affectionate and the most—aside from Mom—important person in the family. For daughters, fathers are the first men they adore and fall in love with. While for sons their fathers are the strongest person they know and someone they aspire to emulate. A father is the one, bearing the burdens of the world on his shoulders, willingly dons a Tinkerbelle backpack and gently holds his little girls hand and learns everything they did in Kindergarten that day.

A father is godly, fair and firm. He has the temperament of a saint; they boast of “no fears,” and though they once sported a head full of hair, now it’s a little thinner with white walls around the ears. He is self-sacrificing, a provider, full of wisdom and honest advice. He has a spine made of steel and carries a worn-out wallet once full of money; now full of pictures. A “protector” with elongated arms for lots of children to fill. He is ever-vigilant against powers that would do them harm. Let’s face it: Children need good role models. They crave security, stability and love.

Yes, the true measure of a father is not determined by the amount of his salary nor by the make of his automobile. His value cannot be judged by the latest gadget found in his pocket or the number of memberships he maintains; nor by his physique and the size of his muscles. Rather, a father’s true measure is revealed in the simple, yet invaluable gestures of love towards his wife, children and community. In other words; a real father is measured by the size of his heart.

So “Thank you Dad ” on this day of honor: and if your father is less than perfect, it might be a good time to forgive his shortcomings. If he is your hero, it might be time to really acknowledge him.

Happy Father’s Day!

Missouri lawmakers approve 72-hour waiting period before abortions...

June 2014

Forgive me if I'm not ecstatic over another Missouri anti-abortion law. If you haven't heard, the legislators across the river have upped the waiting time for abortion bound women from one to three days. In their words: "This bill is a way to give a potential mother some additional time to think about this life-altering decision, and to talk to family and friends who can help provide support during what is undoubtedly a difficult and emotional time." Sadly, what is good for Missouri will become evil revenue for Illinois, where corruption seems to be the number one manufacturing product in the land of Lincoln. Honestly, I should work a toll booth as abortion bound Missouri mothers will simply continue driving across the Mississippi River and dumping their aborted babies in Illinois. Incredibly, I've heard outrage over the abandonment of tires in E. St. Louis; what about the babies? I've heard outrage over the abandonment of two live puppies and one dead in a dumpster, but what about the babies that are being murdered and dumped and abandoned in Granite City? It’s ironic that society cares more about the environment and puppies than innocent blood that flows through its sewers. Society is at war with common sense, and a respect for life at any stage. Is it any wonder why senseless violence runs rampant nowadays? Where there is no justice, how can there be peace?

Do the Amish Kill Their Babies?

Well, disheartedly, YES they do. As we have documented and reported through our years of photos, here is yet another misguided Amish/Mennonite couple being brought by an older outsider woman from Lee County, Iowa to kill their unborn baby, and dump its remains at Granite City’s late term abortion mill, Hope Clinic for Women Ltd. Most Iowa abortion clinics only kill up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. You can only imagine the shame an unmarried pregnant Amish woman would bring to the bishop’s attention in her community. If found out, the couple would be shunned and her/ his family also. We have said this before, just because people dress a religious life, does not make them living a righteous life. Churches nowadays, are nothing more than social clubs or financial institutes. They do not teach or practice the biblical teachings of Jesus Christ.

Disproportionately, we witness more church people killing their babies at Hope Clinic and dumping them in Granite City, Illinois. Pastors and priests alike are more afraid of the lack of nickels and noses in the pews each Sunday, rather than preach on sin, consequences, and God’s judgment as not to offend the tithers. Our shepherds are more fearful of man than God. They turn a blind eye to sin and what is happening around us, and throughout the church. The older outsider that brought the Iowa Amish couple, just sat with her feet hanging out her minivan behind the abortion mill for over 3.5 hours as the couple remained inside the slaughterhouse…Oh how God’s heart must be breaking with every child murdered and left behind. When you view such television programs as listed you realize we are all sinners. Some just enjoy it more and cover it up better. But in time it all comes out. What is hidden in the darkness will come to light. Now, if only the Church would stop killing their babies, maybe the pagans will follow suite.

Moms are special for many reasons, including their amazing “superpowers” – like Mom ears that can hear and decipher rapid-fire questions coming from several children at once. Or the ability to convince kids that chores are actually fun! She has eyes in the back of her head as she taxis her brood to various activities and serves as an air traffic controller.

Moms are the first responders, the first line of defense for their offspring, the backbone of the family. A Mother juggles the responsibilities of managing the emotional roller-coasters of her young adults and the hormonal haze of her teenagers as she wrangles her bug crazy adventurous kindergartner and tenderly cares for her special needs toddler.

A Mom is the wind beneath her children’s wings as she carefully protects and guides them through the storms: weather-related and life’s rites of passages. She nurtures them as they grow and test her patience time and again. She is always there to fix their broken wings, dry their tears, and pick them up as she navigates them home through the darkest of nights.

A Mom puts her children’s happiness and well-being ahead of her own as she teaches them the hard lessons and to do the right thing. Motherhood may be bittersweet: it may feel like your ladder to success is really a greased pole; but don’t give up! Be strong and do not lose courage. There is hope in the rewards, such as the special needs child who never speaks, yet surprisingly whispers “rock a bye baby” after you lay him down to sleep, and when a stunned and tired Mom goes to pick him up, in a tiny voice he whispers, “I wuv you, Mommy.”

“Thank You, Lord, for the joy and wonder You have given me through children. Thank You, Lord, for wide eyes and innocent ways, and reminding me to keep a childlike perspective on life. Help me to always see the spectacular in the seemingly ordinary events of each day.”

Happy Mother’s Day!

METRO-EAST CONGRESSIONAL PRAYER BREAKFAST 2014

When the Church Stops Killing Their Babies, Maybe the Pagans Will Too!

April 28, 2014

Isaiah 1:15-17

“When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes form you: Even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong. Learn to do what is right. Seek justice. Encourage the oppressed, defend the cause of the fatherless, down plead the case of the widow.”

Three gentle Christians led the gentle rebuke of approximately 300 politicians and pastors and participants, at the annual Metro East Congressional Prayer Breakfast in Collinsville, Illinois at the Gateway Center in the early morning. We were there to deliver God's mail, to gently preach the Gospel of Jesus, to show the truth, and to send the message to the shepherds and the leaders of this nation that innocent babies are being murdered, only 10 miles down the road from this huge, bountiful breakfast feast. Sadly, while these pastors and politicians were filling their bellies, innocent children were being slaughtered. And who is most responsible for their deaths? We need only look in the mirror. In Granite City, Illinois, just down the road from this gathering, the Midwest’s largest late-term abortion mill exists: Hope Clinic for Women LTD. It thrives on the murders and innocent blood of all surrounding states, with Missouri being the biggest donor.

It is no longer shocking to witness more professing Christian women marching through this abortion mill’s doors to premeditatedly murder their unborn babies. It is a slap in God's face to witness the daily executions of covenant babies, God's gifts, His blessings, while the Churches and the politicians stand by idling, or worse, sticking their fingers in their ears so as not to hear the cries of the innocent.

Amazingly, a total stranger picked up a sign and helped us in the beginning. This man was staying at the adjacent hotel and was out for a walk as he was traveling from an Indiana NRA convention. After twenty minutes or so, the man came up to Daniel, who was standing alone, and shared a story from the convention he attended. He introduced himself as “Richard” and shared that a woman came forward at his convention and shared her testimony of how she killed a baby 21 years ago; it tormented and haunted her. His story was very moving. So when this hotel guest went for a walk, not knowing he was going to run into Daniel, who had called over to him. “Please, can you hold that sign there?” the man obliged and stood there until the others arrived. He then came over and shared the testimony with Daniel. It's amazing how God can work through other like-minded saints. Pastors Steve and Cal joined Daniel and began preaching the Gospel to the arriving pastors and politicians who were flying into the parking lot staring at the signs. We recognized Illinois Congressman John Shimkus-R from our district and his homosexual staff accompanying him. We also recognized many local pastors from our own hometown who tried to avoid looking at us. God cannot continue to bless a nation that kills over 57 million babies and looks the other way. The silence and inaction coming from the pulpits signifies the Churches’ approval of the innocent blood being shed only ten miles down the road from this annual prayer breakfast. Inaction is Indifference. Silence kills. It is a sin when a man knows the good they should do and don’t.

The responsibility rests squarely on our shoulders. This is why we were the messengers this day. The Lord tells us in Proverbs that He hates the shedding of innocent blood and explains what happens to a nation that continues to defile itself in rebellion to the Lord and His laws. He tells us that many judgments will manifest themselves, that our foes will rule over us, and that our enemies will oppress us. Can anyone doubt today that God has turned his Church in America over to sworn enemies who are ruling over it? ie: the abortion industry, the radical homosexuals? Sin has filled the Church. The very Name of Jesus has been stripped from the public view in our schools, halls of government, courts, and public squares. These are judgments, and judgments such as these are here to bring the Body of Christ to repentance. Our message today was to ask the shepherds and leaders to please recognize this atrocity and, brother, let us kneel and share in the repentance of the innocent blood of over 57 million babies. Their blood is crying from the ground to our Lord for vengeance. Brethren, we can win people to Christ, sing God’s praises, grow bigger churches, and elect good men to office, but God cannot overlook the innocent blood that cries out to Him.

“Innocent blood has a voice, and that voice cries out for justice.” ~A.M.

Another Pregnant Woman Butchered at Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois

Written by Angela Michael

SAFE, LEGAL, RARE?? Abortion motto.

Here we go again, another pregnant woman butchered at the hands of those entrusted to provide safe, legal abortions.

Ambulances do not pull up to the front doors of this late-term abortion slaughterhouse in Granite City Illinois; instead, the butcherette brigade marches women covered in sheets over to the hospital nearby via wheelchairs, all the while calling us liars when they are confronted with the truth that yet another butchered woman was leaving this abortion mill. It is so convenient to have a collaborator hospital at your fingertips, isn’t it? Unfortunately, Hope Clinic employees bypass the emergency room and haul bleeding mothers up to the third floor of Gateway Regional Hospital, where they are admitted and prepped for emergency surgery to save their lives.

We realized that something had gone astray inside the meat market when Tamara Threlkeld, the slaughterhouse director, was flying into the abortion mill garage. She is usually off on Saturdays. Half an hour later, workers were rushing out with a Missouri woman who had been there the day before to start her late-term abortion. She was very pale, holding up her head with one arm, and looked bad. Her driver was carrying her purse. “Another butchered woman, huh Tamara? Is this what you call healthcare?"

The death camp director of Hope Clinic started yelling back at all the witnesses. “You don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re all liars!" We responded, “If nothing is wrong with her, why doesn’t she simply walk across the street? Why is she covered in sheets? If you gave her good healthcare, why are you rushing her across the street into the hospital?! We know a botched abortion when we see one, Tammy. You can’t cover up the truth.” “Shut up, Angela, my name is not Tammy, it’s Tamara,” the deathcamp director replied. She is more worried about her name than her patient...sad. “We know you killed the baby, but you better pray this mother survives."

The puzzling question is, who is doing these late-term abortions? As chief abortionist, Yogendra Shah whipped around the corner only after they rushed this distressed woman into the hospital. Who, then, is ripping these late-term babies out of their mothers’ wombs when the only abortionist arrived ten minutes later? Another fact is that this abortion mill is opening earlier and earlier on Saturdays as pregnant women are precipitating in their motel rooms and homes. Again, who is overseeing and performing medical procedures inside Hope Clinic when the only nurse and abortionist are not on the property?

Two Missouri deathscorts escorted them inside the hospital. Twenty minutes later, the deathcamp director and her goons exited the hospital pushing an empty wheelchair back inside the Hope Clinic slaughterhouse. The new portly butcherette was smiling and waving at the witnesses as they walked back inside the abortion mill. You know, the dust was just settling from another botched abortion that made the headlines of Christian news sources and some local media, namely Lakeshia Wilson. Read “ 28 MINUTES ”

This woman, too, was late-term and she didn’t survive her abortion. Rather, she bled to death for 28 minutes inside an abortion mill in Cleveland, Ohio.

How many more butchered women will it take for the medical profession and “big brother" (who supposedly are looking out for us) to look into these slaughterhouses and their “medical complications?" Once again, back alley abortion has not ended with the inception, 41 years ago, of legal abortion; it just costs more money and the abortionist comes in the front door. More women have been duped into thinking that because abortion is legal, it must be safe. In reality, more women have died by legal abortions (visit the Blackmun Wall at www.lifedynamics.org ) than by the façade of rusty coat hangers of yesteryear.

Unfortunately, a tattoo parlor or an 11 year old cupcake maker ( http://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/family/item/17521-frosted-health-department-shuts-down-11-year-old-s-cupcake-business ) is better regulated than an ambulatory surgical pregnancy termination center, otherwise known as an abortion mill.

Young Woman Dies Following Late-Term Abortion

Added by Cherese Jackson

A 22-year-old woman died following a late-term abortion at the Preterm Abortion facility in Cleveland, Ohio. Lakisha Wilson was transported to University Hospitals Case Medical Center on March 21st around 11:30 a.m. According to a statement released by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office, Wilson was treated at the hospital and pronounced dead on March 28th.

Eyewitness accounts agree with a recorded 911 call which indicated that Wilson was not breathing when she left the abortion facility. While she lay on the gurney emergency personnel did not make obvious efforts to resuscitate her.

One witness, Mary Fuerst, said she was praying hard as she watched Wilson’s body being wheeled out of the abortion clinic. She said it was very cold outside and Wilson’s stomach was not covered. Fuerst said it was very shocking because she could see that this 22-year-old woman was “very” pregnant.

Another witness, a retired dentist, said he was two feet from the gurney and recognized Wilson was dead. Dr. Richard Ivan said he was standing very close when she was brought out of the abortion clinic. He said he saw no mask on her face or protection over her head. There was no rush getting the woman to the hospital. Ivan said even as the ambulance left the facility the siren was not activated nor were the lights flashing as Wilson was taken to the hospital.

Wilson was immediately placed on life support once she arrived to the hospital in order to save her organs but was already declared brain-dead. Although the cause of death is pending an autopsy, there is every indication that Wilson’s death was caused by the lateness of her abortion.

Prior to her visit to Preterm Wilson had been denied by other abortion clinics in Akron and Columbus, Ohio due to the late stage of her pregnancy. While it is not confirmed how far along she was there are pictures of her on Facebook where she is definitely showing. According to Preterm Abortion’s website this facility conducts surgical abortions up to and through 22 weeks of pregnancy.

Records show that on March 21st at 10:59 a.m. one of Preterm’s employees called 911 to report a 22-year-old female patient who was at their clinic but was not breathing. The caller told dispatch that the patience was receiving CPR but was unconscious at the time of the call.

The employee also reported that efforts to restart respiration had not been successful.

Wilson’s CAD transcript lists the events surrounding the emergency in chronological order. It showed an ambulance had been dispatched moments after the start of the 911 call. The paramedics arrived to the clinic within three minutes and at 11:02 began medical procedures.

The CAD transcript contained the notations “Not breathing at all” and “Cardiac or Respiratory Arrest/Death” along with the 9-E-1 code, which is the most serious of life-threatening medical emergencies. There was no indication during the 28 minutes that the emergency workers were with the patient that she had ever resumed breathing.

Another witness on the scene, Pastor Dale Henkel, took photos and a video of the incident. The video showed Wilson as was being wheeled out to the ambulance. During this time emergency workers were not performing any type of treatment on her.

Lakisha Wilson died after having a late-term abortion performed at the Preterm Abortion facility in Cleveland, Ohio. The 22-year-old African-American woman was transported to University Hospitals Case Medical Center where she was placed on life support a week before being pronounced dead.

Cleveland, Ohio 22 year-old lays dead inside pre-term abortion mill

March 26, 2014

Forward by Angela Michael

A nother Black woman dies at the hands of those who profess to protect women and ensure their rights to, so called, safe “ healthcare,” otherwise known as ABORTION . Not surprisingly, I missed the coverage on the evening news because, as a matter of fact, there is a blackout when it comes to women dying in the back room of an abortion mill. I ask you, where is the outcry? Where are the investigators? Where is the NAACP ? Where are our legislators? Where is Al Sharpton? Jesse Jackson? Oprah Winfrey? Wendy Williams? Barack Obama? Michelle Obama? Where is BET TV? Look at the stats of black women's deaths by legal abortion; it's stunning! Yet the silence coming from the church, the community, the media, is deafening. For 28 minutes this 22-year-old young woman lay dead on a table of the slaughterhouse, a human slaughterhouse, in Cleveland Ohio.

Listen, “back alley abortions” have not ended, they just cost more. And Pro aborts call this healthcare?

How many more women have to die by legal abortion in order to get the attention of this nation and society as a whole? Are women not worthy of our protection to at least have safe standard practices enforced inside these “ meat markets”? Everyone in the medical world knows that “abortionists" are considered “ dirty doc’s," “bottom feeders," that can’t run a legitimate practice; often incompetent and motivated by greed. As a result there are hundreds of documented women who have died by legal abortion. Unfortunately, these are only the reported deaths; there are far too many that go unreported or classified as a “maternal death” on the legal death certificate.

Woman dies after abortion: 911 records show Cleveland woman was ‘not breathing at all’

BY OPERATION RESCUE STAFF

CLEVELAND, OH, March 26, 2014 ( OperationRescue.org ) - Operation Rescue has obtained a 911 recording and Computer Aided Dispatch transcript that indicates a patient of Preterm, a Cleveland, Ohio, abortion clinic, has died.

Records, which were obtained through a public records request, show that at 10:59 a.m. on Friday, March 21, 2014, an employee of Preterm dialed 911 and reported to a dispatcher there was a 22-year-old female patient at the clinic who was not breathing at all.

The caller also indicated that the patient was unconscious and receiving CPR at the time of the call, but efforts to restart respiration had been unsuccessful.

“The lack of a sense of urgency really struck me as I was listening to the 911 recording,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue.

“A woman was dying or dead, and there just seemed to be no real hurry to respond to the dispatcher.”

The CAD transcript , which lists event chronology for 911 emergencies, showed that units were dispatched just moments after the 911 call began and that it took paramedics three minutes to arrive at the clinic at 11:02 a.m. when they began emergency measures.

At 11:21, paramedics transmitted information about the patient’s condition to the University Hospital Case Medical Center and began to transport her to the emergency room, arriving at 11:26 a.m. The ambulance listed its status as “cleared” at 11:27 a.m.

At no time during the 28 minutes that emergency responders were in contact with the patient was there any indication that the patient ever resumed respiration.

The CAD Transcript contained the “9-E-1,” the most serious of life-threatening medical emergencies, along with the notations “Cardiac or Respiratory Arrest/Death” and “Not breathing at all.”

Pastor Dale Henkel was on the scene and took video and photos of the incident, which have been released by Operation Rescue in a video that also features the 911 audio. He told Operation Rescue that the patient was African-American, as are about 80 percent of the high-volume clinic’s abortion business.

The video clip showed that emergency workers were not performing any kind of treatment on the woman as she was wheeled on a gurney to the awaiting ambulance. There appeared to be a small towel over the woman’s face.

As a matter of practice, paramedics or EMTs do not pronounce death at the scene, but instead transport the victim to the hospital where a physician can pronounce a time of death.

Pastor Henkel told Operation Rescue that after the ambulance left the Preterm abortion clinic, it was followed by a woman thought to be a nurse wearing blue surgical scrubs, the office manager, and a man believed to be abortionist Mohammad Rezaee.

Last year, an Ohio woman sued Rezaee for malpractice after an abortion done by him failed and she later birthed a healthy “miracle baby.”

This is not the first abortion complication recorded at Preterm. On April 13, 2013 , activists photographed clinic escorts loading an injured abortion patient into a private vehicle for transport to an unknown location.

“It’s ironic that the abortion cartel has complained so loudly about the new abortion clinic standards in Ohio. Based on Friday’s incident, it appears that the regulations aren’t strict enough,” said Newman.

“If it had not been for alert pro-life activists, this tragedy surely would have been swept under the rug. But now, we plan to submit complaints in order to hold the Preterm abortion clinic and staff accountable so this doesn’t happen to another woman.”

ANOTHER CASUALTY OF THE LAVENDER MAFIA

Take Those Collars Off!

2013

Written by Angela Michael

http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/catholic-expert-details-39huge-homosexual-underground-in-the-church39

Matthew 23:3 “They do not practice what they preach.”

Shepherds in my day were someone you admired and respected for their holiness and godly character. Priests and Pastors were called to lead their flock to heaven by following the commandments and God’s teachings in the Bible.. But, lately, our Shepherd’s are leading our flocks all right... straight to HELL! And why should we be surprised? Because over the last decade we have slowly allowed Satan another inch and another inch and another inch; destroying what was left of our morality. Yes, the church and the pew sitters have sat quietly by and, when a little revival fire does on occasion appear… the Bishops are quick to throw some water on it. It’s just another chapter of Sodom & Gomorrah in 2014 A.D. To add insult to injury, the degradation of any trace of morality or holiness within the church is evidenced by the fact that we have some black shirt collars running what been referred to as the “Lavender Mafia” in the Metro East.

The “Lavender Mafia” is a large underground homosexual contingent of priests operating in the Madison County and Springfield Diocese in Illinois. Concerning these last two Bishops (Ryan, Lucas) respectfully have been lily- livered. Oh, now and then you will read a wordy document in the diocesan paper on the evils of abortion and homosexuality, but in practice they did very little . Reportedly, priests are moved around periodically, from parish to parish. But recently these homosexual priests deliberately went after a stalwart priest for preaching the truth and living out his faith and convictions. They began a smear campaign because he “went against the current” so to say. He spoke out on homosexuality, marriage, sin and abortion. Understand, we know of several Metro East priests that are gay, pro-abortion and support the Obama regime. Many of them have come against our vital ministry and have “black-balled” our mission. Many have tried to dissuade their parishioners from supporting our ministry by slandering us and defaming us. Why? Because we are actively out spoken on the sin of abortion and homosexuality. We were black-balled by the Springfield Diocese and Highland Knights of Columbus because we confronted the former Bishop with the cover-up and hypocrisy of the former Catholic hospital St. Elizabeth’s in Granite City and exposed their relationship and hiring of abortionist Yogendra Shah as their chief of obstetrics for over 20 years. Bishop George Lucas

The Highland Knights of Columbus 1530, escorted us out from a particular speaking engagement where we received a standing ovation for speaking the truth, unfortunately, the Grand Knight, Morris Zobrist told us he spoke on behalf of his fellow knights and “they happened to believe in a woman’s right to choice”. They are prochoice. Since then, they have black listed our ministry. But we exposed them and told the truth. Just like the Protestants in Missouri, when we exposed their hiring of a prochoice speaker who worked for Naral, but was hired to speak at their Pregnancy Resource Center/Thrive prolife banquet. ‘Truth is hate to those who hate the truth”.

At a recent deanery meeting where a large contingent of priests from the Springfield Diocese gathered, our ministry was brought up by the leader Fr. Jeff Goeckner of this local Lavender Mafia group in an attempt to demean our mission and destroy our integrity. Four courageous priests stood up in our defense and spoke the truth of our live-saving work that has gone on for decades. One priest in particular told the group that “The Michaels are doing our work, why aren’t we supporting them?” That very same priest came under fire. You see, Father Steve has been lighting fires throughout his church and this Metro East. He has more converts than I care to say due to the teachings and sermons on God’s truth; including sin and judgment. He has only been doing what God has called him to do…speak the truth. And, he has paid a huge price for his holiness. He has been a target of these disobedient priests that take no correction and have basically told the current bishop that they are “God”. They have refused to move from their parishes and one insubordinate priest actually bragged of his disobedience to his parishioners at a Sunday Mass. He announced his refusal to move as the bishop requested, and instead he told his parishioners that, “He was their Good Shepherd” and he was not leaving as ordered. This is disobedience and rebellion. Yes, they protect one another and they lie for one another. They have turned their churches into financial institutions. And as long as they appease and entertain those in the pews, money comes into the Springfield Diocese. In turn, the Bishop looks the other way, and allows these gay priests to live in their rebellion to the Catholic Church and its teachings. They live a religious life: not a righteous life.

Jeremiah 5:31 “The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way.”

And of course, those few and far in between outspoken priests who have stayed the course and made their theology their biography; have been punished by moving them as far away from society and their former on “fire for Jesus”, parishes that love and respect them, as the bishop can. Instead, the bishop replaces the stalwart priest with a milk toast version, or worse, another homosexual priest. Listen, I and others have had about enough of this “sloppy agape” tradition of just got to luv one another and get along. That is why evil exists. Instead of confronting, we co-exist. Our shepherds exchange the truth for a lie. After researching and reading of the “Lavender Mafia” in the Vatican, and our own personal experiences with these priest and the Springfield hierarchy, I can only draw parallels of what is happening to the Churches here in America and come to the conclusion that more than likely this is why staunchly conservative Pope Benedict quit. Or the politically correct excuse, “retired.”

An established, now-retired priest once shared with me the reasoning as to why there are no priests standing outside and leading the prayers in front of this abortion mill. He said, “Because they are too busy looking at themselves in the mirror and picking out the perfectly colored vestment for Mass”. And in our case, they are too busy shopping for golf balls, or picking up drift wood, Fr. Jim Flach at a popular fishing hole and homosexual hangout, at midnight. These are true incidents. Just a bunch of “prima donnas”. In the same way, many Christians have lost sight of “self-denial” in order to be followers of Christ. If we are to take up our cross and follow Jesus, we have to take our eyes off ourselves and forfeit our lives. It is a costly sacrifice. But as it turns out, our lives are really not our own, they belong to Jesus. He made us and he bought us. Jesus paid the ultimate price for our lives.

Our shepherds should be teaching their flock Christian sexual ethics without compromise or apology. Of course, there will be a cost for speaking the truth, just as Fr. Steve has experienced. Truth is hate to those who hate the truth. But just as Paul warned the Corinthians not to be conformed to the pattern of the world: things are going to get hot, but not as hot as in hell. And just as the cost is the same for all of us, so too are the blessings.

We can rest in the sense of living morally right as God wants us to live. And, as we speak the truth in love, we will flourish as God intended.

Finally, as a parent, it frightens me to think of the destruction this culture is leaving behind to future generations who are watching. Our shepherds need to shed their cowardly acquiescence and put on the full armor of God and light the pulpits aflame once again with the truth. Remember your oath to God. If you can’t live as children of the light then shed your collars and retire. Sacrifice for Christ who sacrificed everything for us, when we deserved nothing. Our bishops are held to a higher standard and are accountable for the pasturing of the “sheep” and biblical obedience. It is a grievous sin to look the other way when false prophets are accommodating people in the pews with flesh pleasing words and prophesying peace, ease, and prosperity. God warned Israel in Ezekiel’s day that “The prophets are like foxes.” They spoil the vine and take what is best for them. They go their own way feeding their egos. Israel’s sin was about to explode with God’s wrath because they lived in sin and rebellion and Ezekiel kept trying to warn the peoples. Ezekiel 13:10 “They have seduced my people, saying, Peace, when there was not peace.” The same is true today, but ministries as ours will be maligned for speaking and doing God’s work.

God’s wrath is being poured out on this nation, but do we have eyes to see? Ezekiel 7:23 “The land is full of bloodshed and violence fills the streets.” Sound familiar? “I will take the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses. Calamity upon calamity. The teaching of the law by the priest will be lost, as will the counsel of elders. They will be clothed with despair and the hands of the people will tremble. God will deal with them according to their conduct and by their own standards God will judge them. Then they will know that God is Lord.”

In the end, God speaks the truth: He does not compromise. You have to go through the Cross to get to the Boss. At this writing I can report current Bishop Paprocki is taking on this enemy of the Cross. Bishop Paprocki has taken a strong stand against gay marriage. He has been very vocal on protecting religious freedoms and Catholic Church teachings that uphold the sanctity of traditional marriage, between one man and one woman. Period.

But, this is what the devil comes to do. To rob, to kill (abortion) and to destroy(the family), any trace of righteousness.

Don’t attack the messenger to divert the focus on what is really at hand. Sin.

THE SNOWSTORM BABY

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 10:51:52 GMT

2013

Written by Angela Michael

It all began on a quiet Sunday evening. The pregnant girl left a message; she had finally decided to place her baby up for adoption. She wanted a closed adoption, which means she didn’t want to know the sex of the baby or anything. "It will be easier this way," she said. I returned her call later that night to secure a time the following day when we could speak at length. Matter of fact, we had several long conversations on the phone. She was now living up north; we were told the Bloomington area which turned out not to be true. More like Chicago! Anyway, we were pressed for more incubating time as she was due very soon. It was during my second conversation with “Jenna” that the Lord spoke to me and told me it was a male child. I kept that to myself. The next day I placed a couple of adoptive parents profiles in the mail to get things started, but I knew more than likely we were looking at a road trip not only to deliver adoptive couples portfolios, but also to get to know this girl a little bit better than just talking over the phone. A good friend offered to drive me up north as she's familiar with the area; a real blessing.

Unfortunately, we were also expecting more bad weather, so we had to work around the anticipated snowstorms about to hit us. Thank goodness her schedule was pretty flexible, and we could do it. We headed up there on a Sunday morning, met the young girl, gave her the profiles and spoke in depth to her about the adoption process, making sure this was what she really wanted. This young girl seem pretty sure of herself and by all appearances was resigned that this was the best option for her and the baby. We got back on the highway and headed back home. The weather was changing again; for the worse. The next evening the young girl called me to let me know that she had made her decision on which couple. By that time I was beginning to feel pretty lousy as influenza A,B&C had been making it’s rounds.

I returned her call and she informed me of who she wanted the baby to go to and I told her I would let them know in the morning. As it was getting late we all retired for the evening, or so we thought. Sometime after midnight I got the call; my husband woke me to tell me she was going into labor! At that point there was really nothing we could do. I knew I was unable to drive anywhere in my ill condition, so we would have to wait this out. “Jenna” called me ten minutes later in distress telling me that the baby was coming. I assured her that everything would be okay. A family member was with her. I left word with the nurses at the hospital about the pending adoption. I instructed the young girl to inform the staff at her admittance. Only ten minutes after they arrived at the hospital the baby was born. It’s a boy! He appeared healthy and a good weight. A head full of hair. Birthmother was resting comfortably.

As soon as dawn arrived I was up and on the phone, checking with the hospital; talking with social workers. Everything was okay. Then I had to call the couple that was chosen . The wife answered the phone. I asked her how close she had been to getting a baby through all the adoption agencies she had forked thousands of dollars into? I asked her if she had any prospects? She said “No, they were corresponding with a girl in China, but weren’t sure if she was even pregnant." "So our ministry is probably the closest you have been in achieving a baby?” “Yes." ( That’s God!) I then asked if she was sitting down. I then let her know that she and her husband had been chosen for this baby! I also had to let her know that, by the way, the baby came five and a half hours ago. She responded that she “couldn't believe it." Then once the initial shock wore off I explained to them the procedure and the next step; what they needed to do and where the hospital was located; about getting the lawyers involved, and social workers. They still were stunned that this was happening, and being first-time adoptive parents you can understand, but it's all good. I hung up the phone after congratulating them, and went on to start my day as it was "midnight abortions" Tuesday at the abortion mill. Besides, I needed to keep my mind busy as there was nothing more I could do from my end at the moment. So, I prayed that this couple would make it up north before the next storm hit us; an arctic blast that was supposed to dump another 5 or 6 inches of snow. I called before I left for the abortion mill to make sure that they were on their way. They were still packing and understandably still couldn't believe that they were parents, Their families were so excited! I told them to contact me once they got there, which they promised to do and I went on to the abortion mill. It never fails, you would think this treacherous weather would keep abortion minded women at home, but to the contrary. I guess they don’t expect anyone to be standing in the arctic weather pleading mercy for their babies. Oh well..

So, in a blinding snowstorm outside the Granite City abortion mill we pleaded mercy for the innocent babies scheduled to die. One precious Illinois mother listened to our pleas and saved her 10 week old baby. She rolled down her window and told me that she "was more concerned about us being out there in the cold." I replied, “We’re that innocent baby’s voice." She thanked us as they left. Praise God! Very cold! Brrr! Cars from CA,TX, FL, MO, IL.

We carefully navigated our way back home as the snow kept falling and the roads were getting worse. Once home I called to hear the couple was almost to their destination, and the weather was horrible. They would call me once there and settled . Exactly three hours and fifteen minutes later our phone rang; it was them. “Cori and Steve," were sitting in the baby nursery at the hospital on speaker phone. Cori said “Angela, we’re here, and I haven’t let go of him since we arrived over an hour and a half ago. Angela, he’s so precious.” God had given me a word to share with the couple. They would be talking with our attorneys in the morning. The next few days would be hard as the birthmother would relinquish her custody and terminate her rights to the baby, but she felt this was the best thing for both of them. I asked her why she waited so long, she told me, “she wanted to kill the baby , but her family convinced her abortion was not the answer and to put the baby up for adoption." Thank you, Lord! We have since received several messages from the couple concerning the new addition to their family. They are ecstatic.

Daniel and Angela,

“We just wanted to send pictures of our son “Gage Matthew” We cannot Thank You enough for making our dreams come true. This little boy is amazing! We are so blessed. Thank You!!!

And another:

“Thank you!!!!! We love him so much and feel so blessed. We could never have made this happen without you guys."

Throughout this wonderful event it’s amazing how God can pull things together and work them out, especially in such a short amount of time. Of course our little girl was not happy that we didn’t bring this baby home for her, but there will be more.:) For awhile I questioned the adoption, but someone was praying for us, and finally I felt a sense of peace come over us several days into the process. It's hard when you are the person who has to make the calls to the other childless couples that were turned down, but we encouraged them not to give up; "Keep praising God and praying for that miracle." This was our 45 ^th adoption. We gave God the glory throughout it all. Until God opens the next door, keep praising Him in the hallway!

Philippians 4:6-7 “Rejoice, let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ."

41 YEARS OF ABORTION THROUGH ALL NINE MONTHS

The Disdainment of Roe v. Wade

January 2014

Written by Angela Michael

Bitterly cold temperatures met our ministry outside the late term abortion mill in Granite City this afternoon. We, all three of us arrived and quickly set up our vital outreach. Praise God, we arrived earlier than usual as the abortion mill has mixed up its operations times on midnight abortion due to our ministries effectiveness in talking abortion minded mothers out of their abortions, and showing them the truth.

We were the “first responders” arriving to stand in the gap on the 41st anniversary in disdainment of Roe V Wade outside the abortion mill in Granite City in frigid temperatures. Cars began arriving shortly, thereafter. Due to the inclimate weather the death toll was low. Praise God! We spoke with several abortion bound mothers and their accomplices standing in line. A few mothers were noticeably advanced in their pregnancies. Abortionist Dr. Yogendra Shah and his wife Parul, flew around the corner in their third luxury vehicle, a Lincoln MKZ , to get inside the abortion mill garage.

This frigid weather takes its toll on the aluminum garage door as it slowly lifts up… Daniel gave both of them a gentle rebuke. He rejoined us on the front walks. A couple from Bloomington, Illinois, pulled onto the parking lot where we spoke to them as they got out pleading mercy for their innocent baby. We told the driver he could wear a tag saying , “hero” instead of driver. Many looked over at the small remnant freezing in the winds and below zero temperatures. So proud of my little girl in her tiny voice telling the abortion bound "Don't kill your baby you could have a little girl like me". We kept her in the ultrasound van, for the most part, too cold. She was a big helper as we rejoiced with this Michigan couple, our third save, who came out and told us they "were touched by our lil girl and they kept their baby"! Second save was 26 wks. a mother and daughter from Missouri, who "thanked us for being there". Cars from MI, MO, IL Approx 12 babies killed 3 precious babies saved. Special Forces embedded for 3.5 hours on the frontlines of the battle, making a difference.

Still after 41 years, abortion is just a symptom of the underlying problem: immorality. Let’s face it: people are tired of hearing about abortion. The church remains silent on it. The Pope says we can all go home. The pro-choicers can’t get enough of it. The pro-life movement is going nowhere with it; their only success is fundraising. Abortion is the only acceptable act of violence against children. I have heard that we can’t legislate “morality,” but we don’t allow rapists to rape or bank robbers to rob or animal owners to abuse pets. In all these instances, Americans favor stiff penalties in convictions.

Clearly, most in society have decided that rape, robbery, and inhumane treatment are unacceptable practices. Rapists disagree, but the rest of society decided to impose our morality on them. What is it about abortion that makes it different from every other human behavior? I think it is the most unnatural and evil act a human being can perpetrate against another human being. If you visualize the truth of what an actual abortion is, it's heart wrenching. And it feeds into the immorality that runs rampant in our homes, our streets, and our nation.

The Church and our shepherds seem to be missing in action for the most part. Oh, every now and then, possibly once or twice a year the pastor or priest will dust off a pro-life sermon to be given on behalf of Sanctity of Life Sunday; however, you won't hear any more the rest of the year. They, like most in society, don't want any trouble. They just want to be on the sidelines, not in the game. This nation is full of them. I like to call them “Catfish Christians.” You know, all mouth and a thimbleful of guts.

And have you noticed lately the godlessness in our nation? God isn't welcome in any of our public institutions lately. Not until our next crisis, that is. We turn our backs on God when good times return. We avoid God until we’re in trouble. The Bible has a word for that; it's called sin.

Again, abortion is symptomatic. I imagine our ministry will still be maligned and labeled “the radicals” for actually rolling up our sleeves and doing something about it. We are not trying to co-exist with evil like most do, but have been trying to make a difference all these years with our blood on the sidewalk being sued, chewed, and tattooed, exposing what is evil and saving what is good. You know, there was a man that went through the same demonizing and black listing: His name was Jesus. I’d like to think we’re in good company. Proverbs 31:20 We reach out our hands to the poor, and extend our arms to the needy.

ABORTIONIST DR. ERIN LEE KING EXPOSED AT ST. LOUIS BARNES-JEWISH HOSPITAL

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 10:40:19 GMT

On the Feast of the Holy Innocents

December 28, 2013

Written by Angela Michael

“He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts.” 1 Corinthians 4:5

On a sunny, beautiful Saturday morning gentle Christians delivered God’s mail to on a very busy thoroughfare surrounding a St. Louis , Missouri , top notch graded hospital. At Barnes Jewish Hospital abortionist Erin Lee King delivers babies and then crosses the Mississippi River to murder them in Granite City , Illinois . She also has hospital privileges at Anderson Hospital in Maryville , Illinois and Gateway Regional in Granite City , Illinois where many of her “botched” abortions are diverted to. God blessed us with warmer weather as we lined both sides of the busy street proclaiming the truth. It was awesome. We then realized this date in Biblical history recalled the slaughter of babies in King Herod’s days. Three days after the birth of Jesus an order to kill every male child under the age of two was decreed by this insecure and threatened ruler throughout the town of Bethlehem. What was their crime? The king was intimidated by the Christ child and his birth; the Magi foretold of a new King of the Jews being born. King Herod took issue with the thought of another heir to the throne, so he was bent on murdering every child under the age of two, Matthew 2:16-18. Hence, it was called the “massacre of the innocents.” The prophet Jeremiah prophesied “A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, as her children are no more.” The same can be said of abortionist Erin King as she delivers babies at Barnes Jewish Hospital and murders babies over at Hope abortion Clinic, known for late-term abortions and a lack of regulation in Granite City , Illinois . Unfortunately, abortion has two victims: one dead, one wounded. We were here to expose the evil of deeds of Erin King.

We received many, many honks of support and several people walked up to us inquiring why we were there. We explained that Erin King delivers babies at Barnes Jewish and comes to Illinois to murder them. “That’s not right,” one man said. “I’m glad you all are here.” Several hospital employees had no idea of the dark side of Dr. King. Now they do, and they were displeased. Several physicians slowed down and read our signs, shaking their heads up and down in agreement. One woman turned her car around and told us, “Thank you for being here.” One proclaimer reported only one drive by middle finger, but we received a majority of positive comments. Joggers and firemen in their rigs slowed down to ask questions and read our signs. We were there to expose the unfruitful deeds of darkness. Satan loves to keep evil deeds hidden. Murdering babies, especially late-term babies, is unconscionable. It’s an abomination. Erin Lee King is assistant medical director and abortionist inside Hope Clinic in Granite City , Illinois .

Abortionist Dr. Erin Lee King also works with indigent Black American women at the Grace Hill Settlement in crime infested and poverty ridden North St. Louis just like Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, a known racist and eugenicist, did many years ago. Sanger referred to blacks as “human weeds” and “parasites, unworthy of reproducing.” We have intercepted many abortion-bound mothers coming from North St. Louis than we care to. Abortion is destroying black families and it feeds into the lack of morality and the increase of violence and lack of respect for self and life. Abortionists are making millions of dollars aborting their progeny. We are only the messengers delivering God’s mail. You see, abortion does not solve problems, it just creates different ones.

“Moons Over My Hammy”…Hope Clinic For Women In Granite City,..

Written by Angela Michael

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. Philippians 3:18-19

Usually, you get a side of hash-browns with this meal, courtesy of Denny’s restaurants, but, this is the repulsive vulgarity that our ministry has to swallow outside the 2 million dollar state of the art slaughterhouse in Granite City, Illinois, known for it’s unregulated late term abortion mill. And this is a “mild version”. This unprovoked lewd act was totally against the law. Most male perverts go to jail. But what does a 60 year old woman from Missouri who brought a young girl for an abortion get? Cheers from the white trash surrounding her.

Maybe she didn’t like our prolife signs or our gentle pleas of other options or free resources and free medical care. But it was shocking and very unbecoming of an older woman to perform such acts outside of the poles and stages inside a strip club. Maybe she was lost? This is just typical of the clientele that frequents Hope Clinic. And yes, she was lost alright. Godly women don’t undress and expose themselves in public. And yes, she needs more than jail time, she needs JESUS. Just another day in paradise, you can’t pay us enough combat pay to do this ministry, but this is just a symptom of the real problem,. Lack of morals and RESPECT. A society such as ours doesn’t even blush at the sin and corruption that runs,. amok. There is no shame in anything .No fear of God or the consequences of sin., That is why abortion mills such as Hope Clinic draws the “ undesirables” for their services. Hopefully, we can run her plates and get a name to go with her bare naked junk..Not even a twerk :-)

Jude 1: 7-8 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones.

Midwest's wealthiest late-term abortionist Yogendra Shah & wife

September 25, 2013

Written by Angela Michael

“The wages of the righteous bring life, but the income of the wicked brings them punishment”. Proverbs 10:16

Yes, you are viewing the most recent snapshot of the Midwest largest and wealthiest late term abortionist and his goldigger wife. They drive luxury cars and wear a lot of bling jewelry purchased with the blood money Yogendra Shah has made off of killing innocent babies for the past 30 years. Yogendra used to belong to the Chesterfield Country club where fellow country club members informed us of how arrogant Yogendra acted, bragging about his trips to Asia and investments into gold. BLOOD money! Evidently, they have relocated from Missouri to Illinois as we noted their vehicles have Illinois tags instead of Missouri. Or their luxury vehicles are just listed as so. Yogi drives three different brand new cars. BLOOD money!

They had a mansion with four garages in a gated cul-de-sac off Highway 367 and Parker road in the Spanish Lake area of North County in Missouri. Their two daughters are grown with their own families and one is actually a Swansea, Illinois dermatologist named after her abortionist father Yogendra Shah. They may of moved here to be closer to the slaughterhouse so he can patch up his botched abortions and continue making a fortune off of killing babies and hurting women. And to be closer to their adult daughters and families.

This Tuesday afternoon, where midnight abortions were underway, we didn’t know it, but our paths would cross again, and it would be eerily close. The abortion industry would have you believe their rhetoric that abortionist such as late term baby killer Yogendra Shah “fears for his life”, to the contrary. Today, after our ministry set up, he and his wife “Parul”, cut through us to get to his luxury car parked on the abortion mill parking lot after being at the collaborating hospital, known as Gateway Regional.

Yogendra hurriedly walked several feet ahead of his wife. Both of them were laden with gold jewelry that blood money bought. As he stepped on the curbing of the slaughterhouse where he has murdered over 300,000 innocent babies in his 30 + years of dismemberments and D&X procedures we gently warned him to “Stop killing babies as we didn’t want to see him burn in Hell.” Yogendra let out a laugh. His wife just followed him. Both got into their car and hurriedly pulled off the lot and onto the street in front of the abortion mill . His demeanor and those black shark eyes have not changed. He is still the silent killer he was years ago before we knew of his moon-lighting job, killing babies.

You see, we were former co-workers at an exclusive, posh hospital in West County of Missouri, when I first relocated to the Midwest. Yogi and I worked together bringing babies into the world. He was cold and calculated then, but, we just thought he was quiet, not very social. Little did we know decades later we would cross paths and he would be murdering babies for hire. Mr. Shah had an Obstetrics and Gynecological practice in Granite City, Illinois, across from the High School, conveniently. That is until we told Yogendra that “You cannot serve two masters”. Matthew 6:24 We picketed his Myrtle Ave. office and let the public know that he murders innocent babies at Hope Clinic. The response was tremendous. Many clients thanked us and told us they could no longer go to him as a physician if he was killing babies. He gave up his obstetrics practice and went full time, killing babies.

Yogendra, unsuccessfully threatened us, tried to run over us, and sued us attempting to persecute and intimidate us for telling the truth about him. All we did was give him free advertising. They falsely accused us of “making a pregnant woman’s water break after viewing our (prolife) signs” ridiculous accusations! Can you imagine the business we could get if that were even possible, with overdue pregnant women? :) Of which they couldn’t prove it or produce this pregnant woman, by the way. He and his attorney, Mark Levy, ended up dropping the lawsuits. We in return filed charges and sued him. We ended up with a settlement out of court. These frivolous lawsuits are how the abortion industry tries to silence witnesses and the truth. Hope Clinic and Yogendra Shah have filed many frivolous lawsuits against our relentless ministry. Praise God, we have had the VICTORY with each one.

But when you have the devil backed up in a corner or you are messing with their money and in Shah’s case, millions, the devil will come out swinging and using everything he can against you. We are fighting and standing toe to toe with pure evil.

The recent trial and conviction of abortionist and convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell made mainstream media. Finally, darkness brought into the light. But it took the gruesome deaths of born alive infants and the death of one recorded woman inside this “house of horrors”, for the curtain to be lifted and the reality of abortion shown. Do you think Kermit Gosnell is an anomaly? No. It happens everyday behind the walls of state of the art, late term abortion mills, just like Hope Clinic. It just goes unreported.

Our vital ministry has confronted and exposed these atrocities inside Hope Clinic in Granite City for decades. The only difference between Kermit Gosnell and Yogendra Shah is 40 lbs. That’s all. Both have made millions off of killing babies and butchering women. Both abortionist believe they are helping women: As a matter of fact, Shah being a Hindu, tries to convey not only to his employees but to the clients that, “he is doing a good thing and that their babies will come back in a new spirit and a better time.” Shah’s worst fear is lawsuits. They don’t like bad publicity. We have witnessed drug cartels bigger than those in Mexico being run inside Hope Clinic read: We have assisted with the capture of a Arkansas rapist. It made national news. Read: capture of a Arkansas rapist. It made national news. Read: Hope Clinic Cover-up and BUSTED! Hope Employees Arrested in Abortion Mill

You see abortion mills, such as Hope Clinic are havens for illicit, criminal activity and cover ups. They have NOTHING to do with healthcare.

Here we go again, another expectant mother needing help and turned away by another "cash -cow" pregnancy center, ThriveStL, who takes in approx. a million dollars a year in donations for pregnant mothers and their babies, but refuses to give them anything unless the take classes to qualify for a package of diapers or a layette. Not even a crib. This is why women kill their babies. Jessa works and has another child .They told her not to bring her other baby in. She can't afford a babysitter, let alone supplies! Desperate women are not going to take classes . Pregnancy centers, just like the pro-life movement have lost their focus and are too busy raising money, to pay for empty buildings and outrageous salaries. Shameful.

ABORTION: BLACK on BLACK CRIME

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 10:25:40 GMT

July 24, 2013

Written by Angela Michael

For decades now we have been reporting the disproportionate number of Black Americans murdered by abortion. Knowing this, I find the Trayvon Martin racial profiteering and racial protests that is currently underway sickening. A verdict was rendered. Throwing public temper tantrums with the likes of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Beyonce and Jay Z and many other prominent Americans (black AND white!) just shows what hypocrites they really are. It won’t change anything; especially when it comes to murder. But let me ask you this; where is the outcry from these racial profiteers when black men are cut down in the streets of Chicago every night? Or the 18 month old white baby shot in the face by two teen thugs trying to rob his mother? Or the nine year old boy driving with his father at 3:30 a.m who was shot in the head by a passing car? Where is the outcry and the marchers then?

Dare I bring the fact that we view and witness over 70% of all abortions are Black American babies? Stand outside an abortion mill with me and see the truth of the destruction that is happening across our nation at the hands of those who are supposed to be our greatest protector, our mothers. This past Tuesday, an angry mother brought her daughter for a late term abortion at Hope Clinic: her daughter saved the baby, probably not enough funds, but when we offered them free resources and a free ultrasound, the mother came inches from our faces screaming, “TRAYVON MARTIN,” and got in her car and drove off. Had she gone through with the abortion, she would be no better than George Zimmerman, whom they want to lynch.

Yes, where is the outcry from the NAACP outside an abortion mill? Whether taking an innocent life on the streets or in the womb, it’s the same results: MURDER . Why are we not saying so? You see the hypocrisy? If you are not doing anything about the taking of innocent life in the womb, then shut up. Marching in the streets and holding rallies is not going to change the verdict, or save one life. Violence is taught and it begins in the womb. It’s baffling to see how much time and energy has been spent on this so called “child’s murder” when most people, black or white, could care less about the real children whose innocent lives are premeditatedly and brutally taken every day inside abortion mills. Where is the justice for them?

Illinois Supreme Court Unanimously Upholds Parental Notice of Abortion Law

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 10:22:00 GMT

HUGE Victory for Small Victories Ministries

July 11, 2013

This Victory is not only a victory for Illinois , but also for the custodial parents and guardians of underage minors . In our two decades of being embedded outside the Midwest largest late term abortion mill with our pregnancy outreach, we have personally witnessed the tragedy that has been occurring due to the lack of enforcement of the 1995 parental notification law here in Granite City, Illinois, at Hope Clinic for Women. We have personally had to hold up distraught parents who just found out their underage daughter was pregnant and brought across state lines to abort their grandchild. Our ministry has helped to expose the travesty of sexual predators committing crimes against children only to bring them to Hope Clinic, here in Illinois to get rid of the evidence. The mandatory statutory rape laws are not being enforced here at Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois. Unfortunately, Illinois has become a "baby-dumping ground" for all surrounding states . According to our weekly streets reports, on calculation if it were not for out of state revenue, Hope Clinic would shut down. Most underage abortions are coming across state lines from Missouri, where strict abortion laws are enforced.

The Thomas More Society chief counsel and president Tom Brechja, has long battled with the ACLU and the Illinois courts to enforce the rights of parents. He agrees with our ministry in stating "This is a huge victory for the rights of parents not only in Illinois, but the Midwestern states".

Our ministry is in the business of keeping families together. It only makes sense to place the control of minors back into the hands of the parents that are footing the bills and raising those very same underage minors. You need parental consent to pierce your ears, to get a tattoo. An abortion is an evasive, surgical procedure. You wouldn't allow your underage daughter to undergo an appendectomy without your consent, why is abortion any different? And if complications would arise, who would the abortion clinic call? This is a good law. It protects children and needs to be enforced immediately.

St. Louis “Sodom and Gomorrah” Pridefest 2013

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 10:18:26 GMT

Bigger, Badder, & Bolder

2013

Written by Angela Michael

This year's 44 ^th annual event was moved downtown from former Tower Grove Park to accommodate the growing crowds, sadly. However, with the recent Supreme Court decisions regarding equality and same sex unions, we should thank the chin-drooling justices for unleashing the homosexual demons to ravage our morality-crumbling nation even more. The swollen participant numbers and their brazen attitudes were evident at first sight. The same type of decadence hit us back in 1973 when those chin-drooling black robes gave our nation another twisted decision and unleashed the evil of abortion on this nation.

Jude 1:7-8 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones.

With the backdrop of the Gateway Arch, hundreds of people-many decked out in rainbow-colored leis, beads, and some even balloons – marched down Market Street on Sunday. It marked the first year the annual Pridefest parade was held downtown. Again, Catholic Mayor Francis Slay led this abomination as he waved and smiled to the crowds.

This year’s event drew a bigger crowd than in previous years. Additionally, Pridefest 2013 also happened to occur just days after the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, giving same-sex couples legally married in certain states access to federal benefits. As Mayor Slay drove by us, we gave him a gentle rebuke, “Mayor Slay, Mayor Slay, your representation in this parade is an abomination to God and the Catholic Church!” His smiled faded as he passed us. People around us began booing our presence. It was the truth. More politicians passed by us and we gently rebuked them.

The float that garnered one of the biggest responses featured participants dressed in black robes, their faces covered with photos of the five Supreme Court justices who struck down DOMA.

Most of the rest of the parade was comprised of drag queens and loud music bars. Politicians and representatives of various organizations joyfully tossed beads to the audience. It was the “Growing Youth of America” group, formerly known as the “Gay Militant Teens,” that drew the loudest applause from where we stationed ourselves along the parade route. And it was much larger than the estimated 500 kiddo’s. So sad,

All the publicity beforehand stated that the military would be a big part of this year’s parade: and they were, all five flag bearers and three marchers.

The most nauseating entries were the raving wolves: The St. Louis area gay and lesbian churches. There was an obvious addition this year; the Catholic churches and their communities. Most are in rebellion. St. Stanislaus lost their accreditation when Arch bishop Raymond Burke was still in power. We knew the pastor was gay and in rebellion to the Catholic Church’s hierarchy. St. Stanislaus, as we understand, is privately owned and no longer a part of the Archdiocese, as the priest is defrocked. It makes sense that they are in this homosexual parade. Shameful. But this is what God tells us in the Bible, those in disobedience to the Lord parade their sin in the streets: they have no shame. What is good is evil: and what is evil is good. Isaiah 3:9 The look on their face testifies against them, they parade their sin like Sodom, they do not hide it. Woe to them, they have brought disaster upon themselves.”

You see, the acceptance of abortion and child-killing, throughout all nine months, was not enough for Satan to satisfy his insatiable appetite; now it’s the acceptance of same sex couples and marriages and benefits .The Supreme Court is basically assuming the role of God, and thinks if it gives in to a little of Satan’s demands, that they can compromise with evil. Little do they realize, if you give the devil an inch he will take a mile, as he has. A policewoman looked over at Daniel as he was snapping pictures and asked him, “So, what do you think?” Daniel responded, “It’s an abomination: and it’s breaking God’s heart.” She just stared at him.

We are a sin-filled nation full of evildoers. What is so frightening is the thought of what our county has turned into and what we are leaving for our children and their children. What is so disparaging is the fight to save our nation from this decadence. We have many spectators sitting in the pews, but, where are the gentle Christian warriors and their church leaders? This is a battle of epic proportions, and yes, we did witness a church pastor accompanied by a small group of men trying to gently witness to participants, but, sadly, there should have been more missionaries out there beside us in those mission fields.

The Pridefest 2013 theme this year was ironic: “Celebrate the past to AWAKEN the future” More appropriate, an American philosopher said “Those who cannot remember the past, are doomed to repeat it” -George Santayana. And by the looks of things, our decaying nation is doomed, and we are reliving a dark part of our history, unfortunately.

Fighting for righteousness sake and the future of this nation; I don’t know what could be more important. It is time to take up the sword of the spirit, that being God’s Word, and bringing it to the streets where battles are won. The progressives seemed to be showing up for the war. Where are we?

In Daddy’s Shoes

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 10:13:11 GMT

June 10, 2013

Written by Angela Michael

Fatherhood is probably one of the hardest roles to fulfill. That's why it's so important to thank those dads who have hung in there and are committed to raising their children. A dad is a son’s first hero and a daughter’s first love. With gentle strength and quiet pride a dad helps navigate his offspring through life's passages. His self-concern is set aside. He is the protector and provider. With the strength of a mountain
and the comforting arm of night he calms and carries us through the storms in our lives.

Dad is always the last for a new pair of shoes, his family and others come first. He has your back when it comes to getting children out of
jams, like the four year old bringing her collection of bugs inside the house and letting them loose. He scrambles to help her catch them all before mom gets home. It’s the little things that make dads heroes; helping us tie our shoe, our first bike ride, driving lessons when mom says “she would rather give birth on a crowded bus,” than teach the teens to drive.

And money doesn’t make him happy, his children not wanting money makes him happy. He is your biggest fan and loudest cheerleader at
your games. Thank you, Dad, for the tender discipline. For understanding the key is knowing when to give children a hand, and when to stand back. Our children have been loaned to us temporarily, for the purpose of loving them, and instilling a foundation of values on which their
future lives will be built. We will be accountable through eternity for the way we discharge that responsibility .Today, when the slogan seems
to be “Siring many, raising few,” the greatest gift to the world is fathers in the lives of their children.

“The righteous man walks in his integrity. His children are blessed after him”. Proverbs 20 :7

Happy Father’s Day!

Home of the Incomplete Abortion

June 1, 2013

Forward by Angela Michael

Yet another shocking and horrific experience submitted to our ministry recently. Another duped abortion client thought she was going to receive compassionate, professional treatment...little did she know the gruesome history of this slaughterhouse. Hope Clinic for Women LTD. is not a clinic, it’s a legal back alley abortion mill. The results are the same as yesteryear. “Back alley” just moved to 21 street.. This young woman is one of the thousands that have received inhumane treatment and medical negligence. Fetal body parts, again, were left inside a mother. The medical term designated for this negligence is “incomplete abortion.” Hope Clinic is notorious for this negligence. Examine all of the lawsuits against them. Most list complaints such as medical malpractice and gross negligence. Convicted murderer and abortionist Kermit Gosnell is not an anomaly.

What’s worse is that Hope Clinic is getting by with this practice. The abortionist knows that they can start these abortions by ripping a leg or an arm off the unborn baby and go on to another patient as it is an assembly line. The unsuspecting client sits over a toilet to expel what’s left inside of her, then recovers in a blood-stained recliner for 45 minutes and is sent home. Days later, she is rushed to an emergency room, doubled over in pain, and hemorrhaging due to retained fetal parts or a placenta, and is full of infection, just as in this case. No emergency room can refuse to treat the woman; the abortionist is well aware that someone else will “clean-up” their botched abortions and send the patient on their way. As a result, no red flags are raised as patients from Hope Clinic are told to utilize different emergency rooms in case of complications. This happens everyday. This is just another horror story, to add to the “walking wounded” in society. We may not have saved this baby, but we did save a soul. She has a very different perspective on abortion and Hope Clinic.

Angela,

I just want to be honest. Because, maybe it will make me feel at peace... There is a longggg line of circumstances as to why I had a 14 week abortion.... I remember walking into the clinic on a Saturday morning a few years ago.. in the hopes of saving my failing marriage, due to a separation and "un wanted pregnancy".... I walked up to the clinic for the first time in my life in Granite City.. not knowing that there would be a HUGE mass of protesters.... As a lady walked up to me and begged me to not kill my baby... I started to burst into tears.... My girlfriend with me drug me into the door as fast as possible... It was the longest walk of shame in my life.... As I sat bawling my eyes out... my girlfriend asked if I wanted to turn around and leave... I said no... with hesitation... My heart ached, and I honestly just wanted to die. I was so obviously upset I was sent to a "counselor"... who just reasoned why it was ok with God that I murdered my precious child...

The process of everything was plain disgusting and I felt like I was standing in an assembly line. I was the only woman physically upset, and it made me sick to sit there and see so many women talk about that this was not their 1st time there.... I prayed to God numerous times to please forgive this terrible choice that I was about to make... It was the most painful, horrific event that’s ever happened to me... while I sat there waiting after taking a pill... I heard women outside chanting and singing about Gods love... It broke my heart to know at that point in my life I was giving up human life to save my marriage.. and in the end I would still GO to hell.... Let me give you some history, I got pregnant as a teen, at 7wks old I gave my son up for adoption. I struggled from Bipolar disorder and had bounced between my parents homes.... years after this.. I married and had a beautiful daughter.. after a year of marriage I went through many suicide episodes.. I separated from my husband and ended up pregnant when we got back together.. He gave me the ultimatum of having the baby, and if it were not his to divorce me and take our daughter, or have an abortion and move on... after weeks of changing my mind... a girlfriend who had, had an abortion convinced me it would be the best choice........ after the abortion I was in alotttt of pain... I called the clinic to ask questions and they were awful to me...

I went to the hospital to find out I had a severe infection and had my 1st overnight stay to have a DNC and have many IV. Antibiotics. After "repairing" my marriage... a few months later we found out we were pregnant again.. apparently that can happen quick after a DNC?... We made it to 10 wks pregnant And found out we were having twins.. at 12 weeks we lost them...(at this point I was very angry with God, I felt like he was punishing me, a life for a life?) after 6 months of depression, I gave birth after 9 months of bed-rest due to complications, to another beautiful baby girl ... Honestly and the mention of the word “ abortion ” makes me sick to my stomach.. I have asked God to forgive me: I know He has, but I live in my condemnation and guilt... I pray all the time for this to go away .... I know someday it will... But I just wanted to share this story with you.. but, as a Newly saved Woman of God... I pray you are able to save babies and do come out with Victory. Thank you for your work, God bless .

Written by Angela Michael

Mother; her world is busy, full of half price sales, shopping carts with school supplies, permanent press, teaching math while cooking supper, all the while trying to remember which one to pick up and who she just dropped off. She has the tenacity of a drill sergeant as she enforces the rules, and the patience of a saint as she gently removes the eight-legged friends her five year old just brought in to share her bedroom with.

A mother’s love and devotion grow deep and is written on their child’s heart and there are times when only her love can understand our tears and soothe our disappointments and calm our fears. A mother lives by faith and not by sight. She lifts the hearts of her family through her understanding and selfless ways. A blessed mother shares her wisdom and guides her children to God. The values a mother has taught, the lessons her children have caught will have enriched their lives in more ways than you can count. Her greatest blessings call her MOM.

But motherhood can be bittersweet. Her world goes from strollers and first steps to driving cars and finding jobs. Hopefully! One of the secrets in raising children properly, is knowing when to give them a hand and where. And though sometimes it may feel like your ladder to success is really a greased pole; don’t give up, be strong and do not lose courage, your work will be rewarded.

On this day of honor, we thank all moms for their courageous love and sacrifice. To birthmothers, who lovingly chose adoption for their children and to those who gave the love of their hearts to adopt children, we say to these and all mothers, thank you for your love does not go unnoticed. We love you all the days of our lives.

There is no greater gift than the gift of life.

“ Thank you Lord, for the joy and wonder you have given me through the children. Thank you Lord, for wide eyes and innocent ways, and reminding me to keep an childlike perspective on life., help me to always see the spectacular in the seemingly ordinary events of each day.” Happy Mother’s Day!

Another Butchered Woman at Hope Clinic…

Abortionist Erin King leaves baby body parts inside young woman.

Young girl left hemorrhaging and full of infection.

April 24, 2013

By Angela Michael

Shockingly, within a week of posting a recent botched abortion horror story from inside Hope Clinic in Granite City, we encountered yet another abortion survivor who was left maimed. This time the back alley abortionist was the female serial killer, Erin King.

Just as the accused serial murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell is underway and we are hearing of the blatant gross negligence and disgusting conditions and the deaths of live babies at his Philadelphia abortion mill. We should not be surprised. This is not an isolated incident. This happens everyday inside abortion mills.

Here at the Midwest’s largest late term abortion mill, Hope Clinic for Women, we witness many butchered women leaving on stretchers, and in wheelchairs, sometimes rolled up in sheets in an employee’s minivan, or ambulances. And just like the media blackout of Gosnell’s trial and his house of horrors, the same can be said of Hope Clinic House of Horrors. Unless you live dangerously, not recklessly, like our ministry, in being the messenger. The only way you hear of these atrocities and disgusting conditions is when our ministry is being sued, chewed, and tattooed by the back alley abortionist with their smear campaigns and intimidation tactics to try and “silence the messenger”.

Unbelievable, prochoice advocates don’t want to return to so called back alley butchers. Listen, those back alley monsters never left. They got more empowered and greedy. Now, those “dirty docs” , come through the front door of these “chop shops” and abortions cost more. On this particular afternoon, we set up our pregnancy outreach to the abortion bound mothers slowly arriving, warning them of the most recent butchered woman who came through the Hope Clinic doors thinking this slaughterhouse really cared and was going to help her. Joke! She nearly died. She contacted our ministry and we went to her aid, where she received emergency surgery by a skilled surgeon to save her life.

Ironically, this surgeon is familiar with the botched abortions coming from Hope Clinic. It’s sad, that prochoice advocates only want to kill the messenger instead of getting rid of these back alley abortionist like Gosnell, and Erin King and Yogendra Shah. They are hurting women: not helping women. We noticed the Missouri car parked on the end of lot and they just sat in the car. We kept praying and talking softly to the other women standing in line to kill their babies. After about 30 minutes, Daniel went over to talk to them even though they had their windows up, he tried. He began sharing with the two women about the recent botched abortion and some of just this one woman’s horror story.

After mentioning baby body parts, the passenger rolled the window down and her eyes were popping out of her head. She took an interest, but, she looked pale. “Catherine” said, “That’s what happened to me”. She went on to tearfully tell him she had underwent an abortion two weeks ago. He asked her if it were the male abortionist or the female. “The female, but it was horrible. I’ve been sick ever since”. Her driver, who turned out to be her mother was very concerned and upset. She told Daniel she “really didn’t want to bring her here, but had no recourse”. A few days after her abortion she felt ill and the bleeding was increasing instead of stopping. Finally, over a week had gone by and she was doubled over in pain and a foul smell as the heavy bleeding continued.

Distraught, the mother simply took Catherine to the nearest emergency room in Cape Girardeau. After blood tests and an ultrasound, it was confirmed. Catherine had suffered an incomplete abortion. Baby body parts were left inside her womb. She was full of infection. She was also facing at least a $4500 fee to have fetal parts removed at this facility without insurance and the finances. It was suggested to return back to the abortion mill to have the abortion that she paid for, completed. Hope Clinic agreed to do another abortion on Catherine and this time, “they would not charge her”. In the meantime, emergency staff treated her bleeding and administered massive antibiotics until her return to Hope Clinic the next day. I have never heard of this ethically, but personally, I think emergency room doctors are sick and tired of cleaning up Hope Clinic’s botched abortions, or any incomplete abortion’s from abortion facilities.

We provided this young woman and her mother with our legal information and the state department of regulation where they can file complaints. Both were upset that they had to return to this house of horrors . The young woman showed much remorse, she even went on to share with us how thankful she was a few years ago when she came for an abortion and we successfully talked her out of it and she now has a beautiful son at home. Her mother chimed in agreeing how grateful she was for our help then and now, today. We prayed with them before they went inside, and they promised to keep us abreast of the situation.

It is only by the grace of God that our ministry was able to catch these recent botched abortions because these workers of iniquity, thrive where there is darkness. They could care less about women and healthcare. An abortion is not health care. It's murder, and the abortionists are making a lot of money off these women and the state, as Medicaid pays for a lot of these abortions. It is an assembly line when you stand outside an abortion mill as we have for decades on a daily basis and view the line of women and their accomplices waiting to go in side. Just like cattle at the slaughterhouse. It’s a meat market.

Once inside, the two are separated, women are taken downstairs, accomplices are directed upstairs to a waiting area full of chairs and flat screen TVs. They never see the women again until the abortion is finished or supposedly finished as through the years we have helped butchered women file lawsuits, which included many complaints of incomplete abortions, fetal parts left inside these women to rot and fill their bodies full of infection. It's disgusting! Legal abortion was supposed to rid itself of the back alley stigma. Where a guy in a trench coat stood at the foot of the table or on a dirty floor of an abandoned building attempting to perform an abortion on a desperate woman instead leaves her in a pool of blood and a mangled baby still inside her womb as he collects his money and slips out the back door.

Nowadays, women walk through the front door of the $2 million state-of-the-art facility. Some are smart enough to notice the details: flecks of blood on the wall, bloodstained carpets, group counseling, if that. Benadryl, an antihistamine, to relax them so the drooling patient can crawl up on a table with a big overhead light and a madman comes running at them holding what appears to be a drill. The clinic’s version of anesthesia is the biggest employee that can hold you down or sit on your chest to keep you still for the abortionist. If it takes too long, the abortionist screams, “I’m done!”, and throws his tools on the floor and walks out. You are left with the linebacker who just got off your chest telling you to sit on the toilet and put a pad on when you’re done. This all takes about ten minutes. If you don’t expel the fetus on the commode, you go home in pain and in days or weeks are rushed to the emergency room for the e-room attending to finish the botched abortion.

These are incomplete abortions. They are dangerous and they can leave a woman sterile or worse, dead. And where’s the outcry? Where is the media? I heard the journalist mantra, “If it bleeds its leads” well these abortion survivors bleed, as in over kill. The abortion mill wants prospects to think they run a reputable healthcare operation. It’s a joke. The recovery area; it’s not the pristine surgical white, stainless steel, picture they convey. It's 12 to 16 bloodstained Lay-Z-Boy's with worn arm pads sitting across from one another with one or two I.V. poles appearing to have flecks of dried blood on them. Depending on your hemorrhaging, you sit there 45 minutes to a couple hours. Because, once the abortionist “gets you patched up and back on the highway you are no longer his problem.” Yogendra Shah stated this to a former abortion nurse. Back alley abortion has not ended, they just get by with it. Unless our paths cross, the cover up continues.

1.5 million times a year little babies are butchered needlessly, and a lot of times, so too are their mothers. It’s a shame because if this were a shoddy puppy mill it would be closed down in matter of minutes. Journalists would be all over it.

Abortionist Erin King stated in the Alton Telegraph this past year on the anniversary of the distrainment of Roe v Wade “As long as women need healthcare we will be here”. Does this scenario sound like healthcare? More like cha- ching. Abortionist Erin King arrived at her usual time, 4:17 p.m, and pulled into the garage as the door with peeling purple paint slowly lifted, to begin the slaughter.

Back alley abortion has not ended. It’s the red herring of medicine and the cover up needs to end. The marquee outside the abortion mill should read; “Hope Clinic Home Of Incomplete Abortions”

Abort at your own risk!

Hope Clinic House of Horrors... again

Forward by Angela Michael

On the heels of infamous abortionist Kermit Gosnell's murder trial, our ministry received this disturbing message today from a distraught Hope slaughterhouse survivor. Abortionist Yogendra Shah makes Kermit Gosnell look like a boy scout in comparison, as Shah tends to fly under the radar with his grotesque practices inside Hope Clinic. This damaged woman is one of the many who seek out our website to complain and expose the "dirty little secrets”, inside this notorious meat market in Granite City, Illinois. It’s so ironic that those feminists inside this abortion mill who cry that they are all about women and their treatment, are the very same perpetrators that perpetrate or aid in the cover up of substandard and inhuman treatment of pregnant woman seeking abortions. Hypocrites! The abuse, negligence and barbaric treatment of just this one woman is appalling. Back alley abortion's have not ended with legal abortions. It goes on behind 2 million dollar state of the art facades like Hope Clinic. The abortion industry could care less about protecting women. They only care about protecting the abortionists and their bloody income. That’s all.

Hi. My name is “Mandy” and unfortunately I was there on 4-5-13. I'm allergic to Novocain and Lidocaine. My file is stamped in bright red ten times so they know that. They doped me up with their "Benadryl" that makes you so tired you drool on yourself and the nurse took me downstairs and I laid on the bed and the nurse told me the doctor didn't see any reason not to use Lidocaine. I told her, “No, I cannot have that, I won’t be numb... .she told me, “The doctor would be in, in a minute”, so when he came over he had a large needle. I began to tell him what I just told the nurse and he waved me off and came at me with the needle...I panicked a little as he stuck me and it hurt bad.....it wasn't until he started coming at me with this thing that I started to be a little hysterical. They kept saying, “Calm down, calm down”, and by this point I am begging them to let me up ... doctor Shah grabbed me by my left leg and pulled me back on the table the whole time, which wasn't that long. He held me, put whatever that was in and I felt pain, excruciating pain. He told the nurse to hold me and she laid over me until I moved so much shah literally threw the tool down said, “I'm done”, and walked away. The nurse took me in the I guess recovery room and cleaned me up ...she kept saying “it the medicine, its the medicine that’s why I'm hysterical”. I said, “No its not, it’s because I'm in pain, terrible pain.” I left that place a different person. It was bad enough what I was doing. I was being punished for it. They didn't give me any pain medication at all either. This is day 4-5, still a wreck. I have visions of his face at night it was like being in a horror movie... you can contact me at 6*********.

Thank you and I'm sorry, what I did was terrible.

Update : Our preliminary investigation has revealed Yogendra Shah was the abortionist 4/5/13 on duty.

Deb Weidhardt was Hope Clinic’s version of anesthesia as she laid across this woman’s chest to hold her down during her abortion procedure. I surmise that it's cost effective rather than using Fentanyl and Versed medications and an I.V. Deb Weidhart is not a trained or licensed nurse. Deb Weidhardt is listed as the abortion clinic manager. She is also the same abortion mill staffer who performed “Mandy’s” ultrasound. According to witnesses (drivers) in Hope Clinic’s waiting area, loud screams could be heard a few minutes after they took Mandy downstairs for the procedure. Mandy confirmed she entered the abortion mill at 8:00 a.m. Hope Clinic discharged her around 5:15 p.m. She needed assistance as she couldn’t walk on her own power. After contacting our ministry, she was instructed to seek medical treatment for hemorrhaging,severe pain and possible incomplete abortion.At this posting her family contacted us to let us know Mandy is being rushed to hospital in severe distress. Please keep this situation in your prayers.

A Letter to Small Victories Ministry

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 08:02:46 GMT

2013

No one had greater character than Jesus Christ. His perfect character was not developed in easy times. He became a leader because of the problems he had to endure. Hebrews 2:10. God allows us to go through adversities, trials, and tribulations so that we develop that same strength and character. Character cannot be developed without pain.

“After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who imparts all blessing and favor, who has called you, will complete and make you what you ought to be.” 1 Peter 5:10.

This letter was sent to me this past week and it has confirmed what we’ve been dealing with outside the Hope Clinic. In all of my fourteen years of being on that sidewalk daily, I have never experienced the reproach that has been showing up for the past few months.

These professing Christians will not come under authority, they will not listen to the established leaders, and they will not take correction.

Many, many babies have been unfortunately killed by those who profess to love Jesus. Their insults and screams have made these mothers more determined to get inside away from all the noise. It has turned more unsaved souls away from Jesus than these egomaniacs would care to know.

We don’t have to worry about the Hope abortion Clinic destroying babies or this vital ministry; the holy hypocrites are doing a pretty good job.

Dear Angela:

After visiting the Hope Clinic with a friend on Saturday, May 12, I got curious about your organization and ministry so I looked you up on the internet. Actually, I was looking to see if a photo of me or my car would appear on your site after noticing several pro-lifers walking around with digital cameras and video recorders. I would like to call your attention to the following entry from the "street report" segment of your website:

After being degraded and screamed at by the troublemakers, a man and his wife who had gotten the abortion, got into their car and were leaving when Rick gave the man literature and a Bible. The man shook Rick’s hand and told him, “God bless you! Things may of turned out differently had they not screamed her in there.” “A kind word turns away wrath.” Proverbs 15:1.

________________________________________________________________

I am the man who shook Rick's hand and said "God Bless You" to him as he offered me literature that day, and I wanted to share some insights and observations about my visit to Hope Clinic with you because after reading your website, and learning what you and your ministry do; I would like to say that I whole heartedly agree with your work, and I am impressed by the fact that you are actually reaching out to the women who enter Hope Clinic in an effort to help them and offer them a better choice; rather than spewing hatred and condemnation like some of the other pro-life activists I witnessed that morning. (namely the black guy wearing a collar, and a couple of others with him)

So for what it's worth, I'd like to share with you my experience of that day. Firstly, I would like to clear something up:

Although you referred to me and my friend as "man and his wife" in your entry; this is not the case. In fact, she is not even my girlfriend... Nor was I the father of her aborted child. That said, I will tell you why I was at the clinic that day. The woman I went to Hope Clinic with is a long time friend of mine who turned to me for help when she learned that she had to have an escort for her appointment at Hope. She had no one else she could trust with the fact that she was going to have an abortion, and no one else was available to make the 3 hour drive to Granite City that day. When she told me she was pregnant, and approached me about escorting her, I was hesitant. I asked her why wasn't the father (her ex boyfriend) going to handle that duty. She informed me that they were no longer on speaking terms and that he wanted to nothing to do with having the baby, nor did he want to pay for an abortion, yet alone be the one to take her to it. Basically, she was on her own. She has few close friends, and getting assistance from her family was out of the question. She is 40 years old, has two children from a previous marriage, and she's not in the best of emotional health. Her and her family are devout Catholics as well. She told me I was one of only two people she could turn to for this, and the other one had no drivers license; so she wasn't an option. So she turned to me and I agreed to make the trip to Granite City with her.

Prior to this event, I hadn't really given the issue of abortion much thought. This is the first time I've had any direct experience with it. I've known women who have had them, but never someone this close to me. Despite being a Christian, and politically very conservative; I never really have taken any kind of "firm stand" on the issue. I've always been kind of floating in the middle between "pro-life" and "pro-choice". I guess that being a man and knowing that I would never be pregnant made it easy to be ambivalent about it. However, I have never been comfortable with it and have always seen it as something less than clean....yet something that had never affected me personally until my visit to Hope Clinic a week ago. Since that day, and after reading your website (and numerous others); I have given the topic of abortion a lot of thought, and I can definitely say I now believe that abortion is dirty and evil....and most importantly, I believe that abortion is certainly not part of God's plan which he has for people.

Yes, I asked her if she was sure she wanted to abort when she told me of the pregnancy. She told me her reasons she wanted to abort, and also told me she had prayed very much about it. Maybe I should have tried to convince her to keep the baby, but it was quite obvious that nothing I was going to say was going to change her mind. She had made up her mind, and she was very adamant about it. She's pretty "hard boiled" and stubborn, so I knew there was no way she would change her mind. Despite not being wholly comfortable about assisting her with her dilemma; I agreed to go to Granite City with her because we are friends and she has been there for me in the past when I needed some support or a favor.

Anyway, we were the first car to arrive at the Clinic that morning. We made the mistake of parking right next to the alley and were immediately verbally accosted by the black man wearing what appeared to be the collar of a priest; and a couple others. These people were openly hostile and judgmental. As we tried our best to ignore them, we watched them as they harassed clinic employees as they reported for work. In my opinion, this is not a very good approach towards trying to dissuade women from abortion - hence my comment about "things might have turned out differently" without being screamed at and condemned. Unfortunately, when I made the comment I wasn't referring to my friend. As I mentioned above, nothing was going to change her mind. I was referring to other women (or couples) who come to Hope Clinic. I can't quote the specific scriptures, but after experiencing the tirades of a few of those people that morning, the "...don't judge, lest ye be judged", thing comes to mind. Also coming to mind was the ability of some people to spot twigs in other people's eyes, despite having a log in theirs! That's one of the reasons that motivated me to write to you. After visiting your website, reading about your work, and reading about your success stories and your "saves"...it is obvious that you are attempting to minister and help people...not just empty proselytizing.

I have no idea what goes through a woman's mind when she is considering an abortion. I do know of a friend who once told me that her abortion was the biggest regret of her life, so I do know that it is an extremely emotionally and traumatic experience. I also know that women probably carry a lot of psychological scars with them after having an abortion. The pain on a lot of people's faces inside that waiting room at the clinic was apparent, I will tell you that. I saw people from all walks of life in there. I'm glad I wasn't there as a mother, or as a father...and I feel guilty enough now about just being there in the first place, even though I was just helping out a friend.

I have been thankful in the past that I have never been in a situation where I had impregnated a woman and would be faced with having to be a part of that kind of decision. Like I said before, I have always been kind of ambivalent about it. After this experience, I can definitely be counted among the ranks of the pro-life.

Should abortion be illegal? It's easy to say "yes". However, there will always be women willing to have them, and doctors willing to perform them; regardless of it being illegal. This is sad, but true. I don't see how anyone who actually researches the issue of abortion and knows its true effects could do anything other than condemn its practice.

Sorry this is so long. I just wanted to share my experience and let you know that your organization has made me re-think the way I view abortion. Although I couldn't have changed my friends mind, I do feel kind of ashamed that I was a participant in her abortion - even though all I did was basically give her a ride. I am a Christian. I believe in Christ, and I believe in God. I'm far from a "model" Christian and could be a better practicing one. I have prayed for my friend who had the abortion, and I've also prayed that I am forgiven for the role I played. I believe that I am forgiven, but it still feels wrong to me to profess myself as a Christian, yet at the same time enter an abortion clinic. In hindsight, I shouldn't have been at the Hope Clinic...simple as that.

In closing, I would like to ask you to pray for my friend who had the abortion, and throw in a prayer for me, her friend who escorted her. Your ministry, and your methods, do touch people. If not for the subtle and sincere way your friend Rick approached my car when I was leaving the lot that morning. I would have probably left thinking that all people who are pro-life are bitter and hateful zealots based on the actions of others that morning.

Thanks and God Bless,

Abortionist Kills Kindergarten Teacher and Child

Another woman butchered under the guise of "Safe, Legal" abortion

February 2013

BREAKING: Carhart’s victims identified

http://www.jillstanek.com/2013/02/breaking-carharts-victims-identified/

By Jill Stanek

I did not report on the death last week of a patient of late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart because I did not have corroboration.

I now do.

Carhart’s alleged victims were 29-year-old Jennifer McKenna Morbelli , pictured right, and her 33-week-old preborn daughter, Madison Leigh .

Read their obituary here .

My sincere sympathies go to Jennifer and Madison’s family, who is certainly suffering unimaginable grief.

I confirmed the identities of the victims through two sources. After a name ID was received from an impeccable informant, sidewalk counselors at the abortion clinic positively identified Jennifer’s obituary photo. Jennifer’s obituary also states she “passed away suddenly.”

Jennifer was married and a kindergarten teacher at Church Street Elementary School in White Plains, New York . Jennifer was carrying a wanted baby. At present her registry is still online. Very sad to view. ( UPDATE 2/10 12:20p: Registry link has been removed. View screen shot here .)

Approximately two weeks ago Jennifer learned her daughter suffered from fetal anomalies.

Jennifer, her husband, her parents, and her sister traveled to Carhart’s late-term Germantown Reproductive Health Services abortion clinic in Germantown, Maryland, last weekend.

Carhart began the abortion process on Sunday, February 3, in the afternoon, according to sidewalk counselors who maintain a constant presence at the clinic when it is open. They noted Jennifer appeared “very” late-term.

According to those counselors, Sunday is when Carhart kills late-term babies by lethal injection into the heart through the mothers’ abdominal wall.

Jennifer and her family returned on Monday, presumably to begin the labor induction process by insertion of laminaria or prostaglandins to dilate the cervix, and again on Tuesday.

They likely spent each night at a nearby hotel, as is the usual process for a multi-day, late-term abortion at Carhart’s Germantown clinic.

Each day sidewalk counselors noted in real-time annotations that Jennifer appeared more and more pale.

The family returned again on Wednesday, presumably for the delivery of Jennifer’s dead baby Madison, staying nine hours, an extraordinary length of time. They left at 4:35 p.m.

Carhart and his wife Mary Lou left soon afterward. The two typically fly out on Wednesday afternoons to either Indianapolis, Indiana , or Bellevue, Nebraska , to commit abortions on Thursdays. Carhart is what’s known as a “circuit rider” abortionist.

At approximately 5:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 7, Jennifer presented at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Rockville, Maryland , which is almost nine miles from Carhart’s clinic.

Family members told hospital personnel they had tried to reach Carhart several times, but he did not return their calls.

At approximately 9:00 a.m. Jennifer coded. She coded a total of six times before she was pronounced dead at about 10:00 a.m.

It was during this time Carhart called the hospital. He never showed up.

A medical examiner was called due to the unusual circumstance of an otherwise healthy 29-year-old suddenly dying. The examiner spend 4-1/2 hours with the patient’s chart. The Washington Post reported yesterday that both the medical examiner and Montgomery County Police Departme nt are conducting an investigation.

Carhart’s clinic licensed the day before Morbelli died

It is not known whether the State of Maryland will close down Carhart’s mill pending these and other investigations. In November 2012 the state enacted abortion clinic regulations. Ironically, the day before Morbelli died the state licensed 17 abortion clinics, including Carhart’s , but without ever inspecting them.

After Tiller

LeRoy Carhart is likely the most prominent abortionist in America .

Carhart was the plaintiff in two U.S. Supreme Court cases, Stenberg v. Carhart in 2000, which he won and which forced the State of Nebraska to overturn its ban against partial birth abortions; and Gonzales v. Carhart in 2007, which he lost and which allowed the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban to stand.

Carhart is also one of four abortionists, pictured above, featured in the new documentary, After Tiller , which just received rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival . That documentary’s credibility has now gone up in smoke.

Jennifer and her family came to Carhart for help, albeit misguided, and he destroyed them.

Another Woman Dies from a “Safe, Legal, and Rare” Abortion

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 06:12:39 GMT

2013

More women have died from legal abortion since the inception of Roe vs. Wade in 1973. The abortion industry’s motto, “Safe, Legal, and Rare,” appears to be just another fable. Look at the facts: Women are dying, and families are crying. If abortion is legal, it should be safe. However, to the contrary back alley abortion has not ended. It just costs more and the abortionist comes through the front door. ~Angela

Marla Cardamone was 18 and pregnant.

She would not make it to 19.

A medical counselor told Marla that the prescription medication she had been taking would cause her baby to be born with severe birth defects.

This counselor then began to push Marla to have an abortion. When she refused, the pressure was increased until it became more than she could resist. At that point, an abortionist was brought in to kill her baby.

While he was at it, he also killed Marla.

What you see here is a picture of what this young woman looked like on the day she went for her “safe and legal” abortion.

Click below to see what she looked like a few hours later at the local coroner’s office. And we warn you, what you are about to witness is not pretty. These images are ugly, disturbing and not appropriate for all audiences. They are also images the “pro-choice” lobby never intended for you to see.

By the way, following Marla’s death, it was determined that her baby had no abnormalities.

Tragedy in Connecticut

"We Are a Nation Full of Innocent Blood"

December 14, 2012

Hosea 4:2 “Bloodshed pursues bloodshed.”

Today, less than two weeks from Christmas, the unthinkable happened in a small, close -knit picturesque Connecticut town. Evil came to this community and wrecked havoc. A massacre of the innocents took place where children, teachers, and their trusting parents felt safe. That trust was violated in the most grotesque way by a deluded young man on a mission to kill babies.

Not to take from the recent tragedy, but how many more mass shootings will it take for us to connect the dots on child killing? Yes, this was horrible; the most vulnerable and innocent were cut down in a classroom; they were like lambs being led to their slaughter, trapped in terror and in their Christmas decorated room. There was no one to defend them… just like those babies scheduled to be slaughtered at the local abortion mill.

Yes, this kind of thing happens everyday across our nation inside abortion facilities; innocent babies are massacred…legally. The only difference between the carnage in malls, classrooms, theaters, and abortion clinics is the age and location of the human victims. They are all innocent, but someone else chooses to end their lives. And where was God? Remember, we kicked Him out of the schools. We have drifted so far from the Judeo-Christian teachings our nation was founded on that there is no fear of our consequences, or of God.

But I ask you, could there be a connection between the bloodshed we have allowed to be shed in the womb and what we see in these mass mall and school shootings? Could it be possible that when we have removed God from every part of our lives we have allowed the devil in? Our nation has been entrenched for over 39 years in bloodshed-on-demand. What then should society expect? When you sow bloodshed in the womb, you will reap it in the streets. This is what we are reaping. We have become a savage nation. We allow the senseless murder of pre-born children inside abortion clinics; we shouldn’t be surprised when these mass shootings happen. In fact, we should be prepared for more. What it will take for us to connect the dots: murder in the womb leads to murder in a classroom; lethal bullets versus curettes and suction hoses. There is no difference; both kill.

As reported by media, one little girl who was murdered in the room was preparing for and looking forward to her first communion. Another kindergartener was excited to play the angel in the Christmas play scheduled for this Tuesday. These innocent children and their teachers had their whole lives to look forward to. It was violently taken from them. I cannot imagine the horror that those innocent babies and the teachers felt and saw in the last moments of their lives, the same horror that innocent babies scheduled to be aborted feel inside their mothers’ wombs, which is supposed to be the safest place.

How cold and calculated can people be? First Columbine, then the Amish schoolhouse, VA Tech, the Oregon mall, an Arizona Congressional rally, Northern Illinois University, now a Connecticut elementary school. According to police reports, a man killed his mother at home then forced his way into the elementary school where his mother taught, massacring approximately twenty children and six teachers. He then took the coward’s way out and turned the gun on himself.

There is no police force big enough to protect our nation from the evil within. Our hearts are broken; there are no words to soothe the grieved. We are sorry, so sorry that there is so much violence and disrespect for life in our nation; this is indeed a heart issue. We have to change the hearts of our nation, not laws, if we are ever going to stop these senseless killings.

I woke up this morning to cold rain; it set the mood to the heavy heart we have felt for the past 18 hours. I got ready to go to the abortion clinic where I am every Saturday. I couldn’t even listen to the festive Christmas music because I cannot imagine the pain of having to bury a child that was murdered, let alone twenty at this special time of year. It was only after I stood for hours at the abortion mill pleading and begging on behalf of those innocent babies scheduled to be slaughtered today inside the abortion mill, that the heaviness lifted somewhat when we were able to connect the dots to those parents that were contemplating their child’s fate and only by the grace of God that were we able to convince at different times, two abortion-minded moms not to go through with their child’s execution. Only then did I feel like I wasn’t helpless, that I was able to do something to prevent more murders. I can relate to the first responders at the crime scene.

We were joyous with the two precious babies that were saved through our efforts, but there is so much more that this nation needs to be doing to stop the senseless murder of innocent children in and out of the womb. We need to return to a culture of life, or we are doomed.

Please keep the situation in your prayers.

“WHY THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT IS LOSING? CPC’S ON THE GOVERNMENT TEET”..

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 05:54:50 GMT

December 2, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

Hello, anyone home? This is what our ministry has been exposing all along for years outside the Midwest largest late term abortion mill in Illinois. Just one Crisis Pregnancy Center in Granite City has taking millions of dollars from the government in grant money. This is why a lot of CPC’s change their names as we learned from Dr Dobson’s organization, Focus on the Family, so the same CPC can apply for thousands of dollars in grant money each year, and continue feeding off the government teet.

This is why abortion will never come to an end. We are losing from within. New Beginnings/ Mosaic Pregnancy Centers headquarters in Granite City, Illinois, has taken in over a million dollars in grant money from the government, that we could document.

What they are not telling the pro-life donors and the churches is that when you accept government money you are required to inform pregnant women of ALL their options including “abortion”, and where they can obtain one. This would explain why in earlier days outside the abortion mill in GC we were intercepting pregnant girls coming from New Beginnings to get an abortion.

Kathy Sparks publicly stated, “She is still friends with many of her former co workers inside the abortion clinic and that they were nice people”. This is why our ministry is being libeled and attacked by “anonymous” websites and bloggers because we have reported this and exposed pro-life organizations who are there to perpetuate abortion; not end it and they are making a killing off the income they receive.

What is more surprising , is the pro abortion Obama administration to continue feeding government monies to the Christian prolife based pregnancy centers who are gorging themselves at the trough. We assumed feeding at the governments teet would be cut off a long time ago..

Especially when pregnancy centers, like Mosaic, Thrive St. Louis, and Care Net discriminate against pregnant women and selectively help a few who have to earn government funded assistance. The following article backs up what we have been exposing regarding the hypocrisy and the “cash cows” of the so called prolife movement. Care Net is one of the biggest to cash in. This does not stop abortion or save babies scheduled to die. It’s a racket, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

“Proclaim the truth and do not be silent through fear. Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire”.

B ible-pushing pregnancy center sues for taxpayer dollars

An anti-abortion, "Christ-centered ministry" in Vermont is looking for a federal loan to build its operation

By Sarah Seltzer , Alternet

Crisis Pregnancy Centers are problematic on many levels: they often engage in deceptive practices, setting up shop near abortion providers to confuse women, handing out medically inaccurate information and sometimes even coercing patients.

Many are Christian conversion clearinghouses in disguise , as well.

One such “Christ-centered ministry” in Vermont, part of a national umbrella network of Christian CPCs, got rejected for a federal loan for a variety. Now they are suing.

Care Net is a self-described “pregnancy resource center” that works to prevent abortion by offering an array of services, including free pregnancy tests, parenting classes, and counseling. The USDA denied the group’s loan request due to the “inherently religious” nature of some of its programming.

Care Net’s most troubling offering, as far as USDA officials were concerned, was a rewards-based learning program called “Learn to Earn,” wherein expectant parents had to take a certain number of parenting and Bible study classes in order to receive free baby supplies. (Care Net’s executive director has said the center has since suspended the Bible study requirement.) The center also offers, according to a brochure , a “bible centered program” called “Post Abortive Teaching and Healing” that “enables women to process their abortion-related experiences and emotions with the goal of healing and recovery.” In addition, Care Net conducts an abstinence-only sex-education class called “Why Am I Tempted?” or WAIT.

Sounds like some of these offerings might have been a bit of a violation of the whole “church and state” thing, which is why the initial loan request was denied:

On the advice of its legal department, the USDA concluded that were the agency to engage in a long-term borrower-lender relationship with Care Net, there was a potential for “excessive government entanglement with religion,” which the Supreme Court has decided is a violation of the First Amendment’s establishment clause.

In a May 2011 memo, USDA Office of the General Counsel attorney adviser Virginia Henning wrote that though Care Net’s non-religious activities were eligible for financial assistance under the federal agency’s program rules, it would be difficult for the USDA to “accurately prorate the amount of time and space used in this facility for religious education” and would thus require “extensive monitoring” from the USDA to make sure the center was not engaging in too much religious activity.

The case is going back to court to see if ‘he loan denial on the basis of the group’s religious activities violated Care Net’s constitutional rights to free speech and equal protection” but as Resnick notes, this is a case that the group hopes will very much open the door for more federal funding for religious groups.

Graphic Ad Saves Another Baby

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 05:48:14 GMT

November 1, 2012

Another baby saved from abortion by a graphic television commercial from Angela Michael’s campaign. www.angelamichaelforcongress.com A young college girl named “Teresa” called us on Thursday afternoon after viewing our commercial the previous day on the Wendy Williams show and let us know that she had had an abortion 2 years ago and is now 8 weeks pregnant, getting ready to have another abortion when she viewed our ad. After seeing the commercial she told her friends about it and decided she could not go through with her abortion, and decided to call us and thank us. In her conversation with us, Teresa inquired if the commercial would be airing again as she planned on viewing it with several of her friends.

You can never tell how God can use someone or even a commercial to change someone’s heart. The graphic pictures that we show outside the abortion clinic have changed many girls’ minds and hearts.

There have been many who have complained about the ads, saying it was too graphic, not appropriate for children, in poor taste. And yet, because it was run…another baby; another precious human soul made in the image of God…lives. Let us never forget that it was the exposed truth about slavery, apartheid, and the holocaust that caused people to oppose these atrocities.

Yes, the truth is sometimes ugly, but it works. The graphic pictures that we hold outside the abortion clinic have changed many abortion bound mothers minds and hearts. And the disturbing images shown to the St. Louis television audience have touched even more.

These graphic ads were produced to show the real victims of the abortion holocaust; don’t blame the messenger, even though the message may be unpleasant; when you resort to attacking the messenger instead of the message, you have lost the debate.

ABORTIONIST “ERIN KING” EISENBURG BUTCHERS WOMAN AT HOPE CLINIC

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 05:45:34 GMT

This is King's second documented botched abortion since her arrival in Granite City, known for its late-term abortion mill and lack of parental notification enforcement.

October 17, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

The new Hope Clinic abortionist Erin King Eisenburg (pictured center here with her serial baby killer husband David) has gone on record in butchering a late-term baby and mutilating the mother this past week inside Hope Clinic slaughterhouse, located in Granite City, Illinois. This botched abortion began Tuesday, the 16 ^th under the watch of new manager Tamara Threlkeld. The following day around 2 pm in the afternoon, two butcherettes, death camp director, Tamara Threlkeld and operations manager, Debbie Weidhardt covered the girl from head to toe to conceal her identity as they rushed her on a gurney across the street from the abortion mill and into the collaborating hospital, Gateway Regional, to save her life as witnesses looked on.

It’s unfortunate that women’s rights groups could care less when an abortionist practices “shoddy work” all in the name of “choice.” Moreover, women’s lives and reproductive health are put in jeopardy due to abortionists’ love of money and blatant disregard for sanitary and safe conditions inside these slaughterhouses. Legal abortion has killed more women since the inception of Roe vs Wade back in 1973.

This day, the abortion client lay motionless as abortion mill workers rushed her across the street and bypassed the emergency room to be admitted to the 3 ^rd floor. She was then quickly taken into the operating room. The abortionist has privileges at Gateway and will call in a special OR team to assist in “patching their botched abortions up and get them back on the highway where they are no longer the abortionist’s problem.” This displays how much they care about women.

Only the butcherttes returned some time later with an empty gurney and walked back inside the slaughterhouse. There were a few other late-term clients’ cars still on the parking lot. No one was coming out. We prayed for the situation. A few minutes later, the two butcherettes
got in their cars and left. After them, Abortionist Erin King Eisenburg took off in her red prius in a hurry.

On the following Friday morning, a young blond woman and an older woman from Missouri pulled right in front of us on the sidewalk. We recognized the car and the driver. They had been here since Tuesday. The driver hurriedly got out and walked over to the passenger side where the blond struggled to get on her feet. It was obvious something was wrong. Her face was very pale, more than likely drained from losing blood; she was sick. This woman could barely stand and winced in pain with every step.We softly called over to her that we had real doctors across the street who would take care of her. They slowly made their way to the abortion mill entrance and went inside. We surmised that she was probably full of infection and suffering complications since starting her abortion on Tuesday. They never came back out during our watch.

Again, the marquee outside Hope Clinic should read: “Kill Your Baby at Your Own Risk!”

Proverbs 12:10 “The kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.”

Passing the Torch in the City of Slaughter

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 05:40:23 GMT

October 25, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

Pictured above is new abortion mill director Tamara Threlkeld wheeling yet another botched abortion victim. This victim suffered life threatening complications this past May inside the Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill: Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois. Back in 2009, a New York publication interviewed former death camp director Sally Burgess. Burgess whined that the abortion industry was having difficulties in finding abortionists to kill babies and the veteran employees were getting up in years with no one to replace them. Well, it appears the bloody torch has been passed.

We first began noticing Tamara Threlkeld in early 2011 with her various flamboyant styles of clothing and hair color. Sally was a bit more reserved in appearance and only hung a machete from her hip at times. Tamara walks by as loudly as she can to be noticed. Her arms are covered in tags or sleeves, tattoos. Sometimes we would catch her carrying several large bottles of bleach inside the slaughterhouse. At times, three little girls approximately aged 6, 8, and 11 would accompany her inside the abortion mill. Maybe she is a mom and it was “Take your daughters to work day”?

We documented the departure of Sally Burgess this past July. Mr. Sally (William) Burgess was last seen at the end of June visiting Hope Clinic where his wife oversaw the slaughter of thousands of babies during her tenure of approximately 22 years. Lately, she has been splitting her time between killing babies and teaching Pilates classes in Edwardsville, Illinois. Sally and our ministry clashed several times in debates, in courtrooms, and in media interviews. Former workers clued us in on the “family bond” among Hope staffers that Sally Burgess reinforced during bi-weekly reviews of employees. “Kill together, Chill together.” Sally was also on the board of the NAF , the abortion industry’s protocol police. They didn’t follow their own guidelines in this termination center, according to several former employees. However, we wish her and her family the best.

Tamara, according to an internet post, attended Creighton University, a Catholic school. As listed under “occupation” it states: “I kick ass and shake up the establishment.” She has lived in several areas of the Midwest, but most recently lived in Fairfield, California.

This past summer, it was humorous when she walked out with professing Christian and lab tech escort Lauren to take yet another photo of me. The Lord told me her name, and I spoke up as she tried to snap a picture, “Here Tammy, take a picture of this head shot,” and I held up an aborted baby sign. Her face went blank. Lauren lost her smile. I then firmly rebuked Lauren for killing babies inside Hopeless and claiming that she is a practicing Christian. SHAME! The failure of the American Church. This is what we produce. Both women looking a little surprised turned around and walked back inside the slaughterhouse. Since then, Tamara regularly steps outside the abortion mill blowing kisses to us on the sidewalk. Sometimes she can be heard singing “Amazing Grace” as she strolls up to the slaughterhouse doors.

Tamara was recently interviewed by a Chicago AP reporter on behalf of the Midwest’s largest late-term abortion refuge in an article titled: “Dozens of states make it hard to get abortions.” Ms. Threlkeld stated that Hope Clinic rarely does late-term abortions and the average abortion is performed up to 12 weeks, “Which is the size of a lima bean.” Really? At twelve weeks a baby is fully formed and has all extremities; the child is just small in proportion. He/She feels and senses pain during an abortion. Look at a picture of a 12 week gestation; pictures don’t lie. The reporter went on to say that if you find yourself at Hope Clinic, you will meet Angela Michael and her signs of dismembered babies. Angela stands there regularly and for decades, and runs graphic pro-life ads on television. “She has compassion for women, but considers abortion murder.” Well, duh?

My question is, “Why does it take several days for mostly out-of-state clients to undergo abortions when supposedly their unborn babies are the size of a lima bean?”

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims. Many casualties, piles of dead, bodies without number, people stumbling over the corpses. All because of the wanton lust of a harlot, alluring, the mistress of sorceries, who enslaved nations by her prostitution, and peoples by her witchcraft.” Nahum 3:3-4

The Travesty of the Obama Regime

September 14, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

Psalms 106: 34-47

Outrage. Just absolute outrage to hear of yet another attack on US citizens in the Middle East, including the murder of a U.S. ambassador on the anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy.

It seems that it is absolutely ludicrous that billions of our tax dollars are being sent to aid these thugs that are of the same ilk as those that murdered and drug the mutilated bodies of US soldiers through their streets years ago.

And the ultimate low blow is that our current gutless regime in power seems bent on ever apologizing to the attackers. We should instead be showing some guts, condemning these cowardly actions, and immediately cut off all billions of dollars of foreign aid to these Muslim countries that thank the United States by killing our people supposedly over insulting their god.

And this is a religion of peace? Really? It is time to remove this current embarrassing administration and start protecting our nation. Obama’s ongoing apologetic tour speaks volumes of the man and his love of this country. The world is watching. And where, I ask you, is the outcry from the moderate Muslims? Shame on us if we give this administration four more years.

Labor Day Parade 2012

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 05:32:46 GMT

"I Want a Job!"

September 3, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

This parade is about honoring our men and women in the workforce, but amidst the fact that over 23 million men and women in our nation are unemployed, it is was more like a funeral...

That seemed to be the distinguishing feature at this year’s annual Labor Day parade in Granite City, Illinois, home to the Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill only two blocks over.

An out-of -work machinist was grabbing the attention as we stood in a police-protected area with our pro-life banners and signs along the parade route. At first, the arriving officers drove up to us like a bunch of wild-eyed cowboys as we were setting up. The lead officer shouted at us to not obscure the sidewalk. “Excuse me, it’s a banner, officer.” I told Daniel to start video taping. Their mood changed; the officer seemed to have calmed down and told us to let him know if anyone harassed or said anything to us as during the parade.

With a loud cannon “BOOM!” the union-laced parade began. A few parade goers sitting along the parade route yelled at us and cursed us for being there. Some spectators came over and wanted their pictures taken with us, asking how to get on our mailing list. We handed them campaign literature. Not only did we have our graphic signs, but also our “Stop Abortion in Granite City” banner and our campaign banner. Our new signs were impressive, and the Mayor, dignitaries, and groups of various union locals were letting us know. On the other hand, there were those union members who thanked us for being there. Most of the politicians gave us their approval for being there and thanked us for our courage and our cause.

One woman stepped from her group and thanked us. She told us that when the abortion mill came to this town, she fought almost single handedly to stop its efforts. “You see now what it is,” she said. “Keep fighting for us!” and she ran to catch up with the parade. The other notable thing was that there were only two, small OBAMA signs. The groups of union members were down also: same entries at that and smaller numbers as well as the same foul language in front of kids. Now, they were upset with our signs, but it was okay to call us “M****r F*****s” in front of those same kids.

At different intervals, some of the mothers who had children in the parade decided to educate their child on our graphic signs. They pointed out that they were babies and what happened to them. This was great. These parents told them the truth. Praise God!

A Granite City ambulance crew got anal with us and tried to conceal our signs. Even the three union bullies from last year tried to use their bodies to stand and block the truth of what this city allows to happen to little boys and girls only two blocks over. We repositioned our signs, some of us crossed to the other side of the street, and the truth went forth as the police looked on.

We noticed the parade was not as full as in years past, but especially the lack of support for President Obama as only two OBAMA signs were noted and held by children. Wow! Even the unions are distancing themselves from Mr. Obama. At different times, several of the entrants screamed at us, “You should be ashamed of yourselves.” However, overall we received more positive comments, “This needed to be said,” and thank you’s for being there.

An out-of-work machinist stole the show as he kept yelling at his former union buddies, “I need a job!” That seemed to be the undercurrent in this parade as the current administration keeps insisting that they’ve created so many thousands of jobs. Well, maybe if you are with the auto industry or the highway construction workers (all union of course) or if you are entitled to be a government worker, you have a job; Mr. Obama made sure that he took care of those unions that put him in office. However, stimulus package can run for only so long. You can’t keep printing money in Washington and sending our jobs over to foreign countries and then expect our nation to prosper. And let us not forget to mention the fact that we allow the innocent blood of over 53 million children to flow through the streets of our cities, especially here in Granite City, Illinois, home of the Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill. Over 400,000 thousand people have been slaughtered just two blocks over from this parade. Sounds like the atrocities during a Middle Eastern war, but sadly it happens here, right in the heartland of the steel mill industry.

The parade barely lasted an hour. Afterwards, we gathered our signs and banners as Helen picked candy off the street. We then bowed our heads in prayer to our Lord Jesus and thanked him for this opportunity to touch some hearts and to remove the scales from their eyes to see the truth of the abomination that is housed in their fine city. “Thank You for Your protection and for the many comments of praise for our mission this day as we serve You, Lord. In Jesus’ name we pray.”

“It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brushfires in people’s minds.” ~Samuel Adams

Well, today we were the minority as always. Let us pray that we set a few sparks in those minds and into action.

“Innocent blood has a voice, and that voice cries out for justice.”

"IT WAS THE FEAR OF GOD", that changed my mind..

August 14, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

It was righteous indignation rising up our backsides on this hot, triple-digit Tuesday as midnight abortions were underway. She walked up to the entrance of the slaughterhouse with her very pregnant belly protruding over the lip of her pants. Her friend accompanied her and kept looking over at us as we softly offered her other options instead of aborting her large baby. We told her, "The only choice your baby girl or boy gets is scissors or suction to the back of their head. You would not do that to a puppy or a kitten; how can you do that to your own flesh and blood?" No response; they went inside.

More late-term abortion-bound mothers continued to arrive and we kept softly offering them another way out of their situation. It's always wrong to take an innocent life, but why do these abortion-bound mothers wait until they are so far along in their pregnancies to kill their babies? It was disgusting to witness this all afternoon. Then by the grace of God, both women came back out. We met them at the driveway of the slaughterhouse. Daniel was already engaged talking, and the very pregnant woman was holding our brochure and smiling. She confirmed that she was over 23 weeks pregnant with a baby boy and that she was not going through with the late-term abortion. Praise God!

Lately, we have been encountering abortion-bound couples who unashamedly, tell us that they admit what they are doing is wrong, but believe that God will forgive them. It has been flying in our faces, but especially in God's face outside this late-term abortion mill for some time to the point that we recently addressed the pitiful situation just last week and posted an article on our website. It has received many reviews across the internet. Sadly, our nation does not have any shame anymore. Our ministry has asked the question, "Where is the fear of God?"

Well, amazingly, today we got an answer. " Tika " and her friend told us when we asked what changed her mind that it was the fear of God. Her friend said, "I kept telling her this was wrong, then we saw you all, and we listened to watch you." Tika added, "When I got inside there up on that table, I felt fear." I asked her, "You know the Lord?" "Yes ma'am. I know Jesus." Praise the Lord! There is still hope for this nation and the Church. This is what we have been softly preaching outside the slaughterhouse. "Only God can give life and only God can take life. He is our ultimate Judge. When we go before the throne on Judgment Day, and it's coming, what will we say?"

Both girls hugged us and thanked us for speaking to them and getting their attention. We ran to the ultrasound van and brought back two gift bags for a baby boy full of supplies and gifts for mom and baby. They promised to keep in touch.

Listen saints, today was more proof, that, God has not given up on this sinful nation, more than likely, due to a handful of holy and prayerful warriors. Let us not give up on God. We are in the fourth quarter, and there are two minutes left on the clock.

Be encouraged,

As if the sweltering triple digit heat was not bad enough this day, she had to thrust her swollen belly out for us to see that she was late-term. It was midnight abortions and the devil was having a heyday. However, the tipping point was when we viewed not one, but two green and white, JESUS bumper stickers on the getaway car of this mother parked right in front of our mission. Understandably, there is a furnace of affliction when you follow hard after Christ and persevere, but come on, REALLY? We couldn’t believe our eyes as this mother walked up to the entrance of the slaughterhouse. We softly offered to help her with other options and resources; she just ignored our pleas and held onto her bag of fast-food. Little did she know that once consumed, that food would be lying on her feet in another hour or so. The guard stopped her and told her she couldn’t take the food inside. She turned and came back to the car with her accomplice.

We tried offering some literature, and Helen asked if she changed her mind. “Oh, hell no! ” she replied and sat on the passenger side, beginning to munch her food. She rolled the window down and watched us look in dismay at the sight of Jesus parked at the abortion mill. This mother kept holding her half eaten whopper out her window and offering us a bite. After the third try I declined and told her, “No thank you, I’m watching my figure.” She then made a derogatory remark, and I felt the blood rush up the back of my neck. That’s it. I turned to her and said, “TAKE THAT BUMPER STICKER OFF YOUR CAR.” She laughed. I went on, “Do you think God is blind? Do you think He doesn’t see what you are about to do and how you are living your life? You must be more afraid of someone stealing this hunk of junk than you are of God’s judgment and His wrath with what you are about to do to His child.” She just stared with a smile on her face.

This is what our ministry has had to contend with lately. This is an example of that “sloppy agape” church I have written about. You know, the “easy, greasy, cheap grace” that the American church thinks can save them when they go before the throne of God on Judgment Day. I’ve grown tired of witnessing the lackadaisical attitude coming from most churches and their pastors. This is what we are dealing with outside the abortion mill in Granite City. We have so-called Christians going inside to kill their babies, and we have abortion mill employees calling themselves Christians, killing babies. It’s sickening. But this is the condition of most churches nowadays. I wish we had pastors and churches of godly character that had some guts to stand up to the sin sitting in their pews. I wish there were some men of God who got as mad as heck at the sight of a Jesus bumper sticker at the abortion mill; Because this “sloppy agape” is not cutting it.

I told the women sitting in the car that we should not be surprised with all the killings going down over in St. Louis when killings are going down at this abortion mill. “Only God can give life, and only God can take life,” I told them. The pregnant passenger screamed, “Don’t be judging us!” I asked her, “Is that the only scripture you know? Do you remember this one? Thou shall not kill.” Both women started screaming at me. I went on, “Aren’t you judging your baby? What did he do?” She screamed, “Where is abortion in the Bible?” I said, “Haven’t you read that God hates the shedding of innocent blood? It is mentioned throughout the Bible. Your baby is innocent. It is his or her blood that will be shed inside that abortion mill,” Now you done it. Both women got out of the car; the driver came at us, but stopped short of the curb just screaming at us for being racist of all things, etc. “Really, because we tell you the truth?” Truth is hate to those who hate the truth.

Listen, make no mistake about it, we are fighting a war; however it is God’s war. He just asks us to show up for the battle. Today was a battle of evil vs. good. We were looking into the eyes of the devil. He had complete control of these women we were confronting this day. I told the pregnant woman, “ This is not a game; this is serious stuff. Someone has got to get your attention before it’s too late.” She then screamed several times, “Are you a pastor? Are you a pastor?” I went on telling her that there is a real heaven and a real hell. “We are fighting a real devil and we serve a real God. What is at stake is life and death. The Bible says if you ‘resist the devil he will flee.’ We are offering you this opportunity today.” Unfortunately, after walking away from their car, they sat there a few more minutes and then slowly walked inside, but not without hearing the TRUTH ! Probably more than they’ve heard in a year’s full of Sunday church services. That’s the shame in this entire encounter. God’s people, or any people for that matter, have no shame anymore. Most have been handed over to a reprobate mind. And, as they walked inside, they told us to, “Just keep praying for us,” mocking our efforts and prayers. Proverbs 30:20 “This is the way of the adulteress: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’”

God have mercy!

“ The eternal God is your refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, and will say, ‘Destroy!’” Deuteronomy 33:27

TRAYVON MARTIN VS TONYA REAVES

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 04:23:19 GMT

Why is Trayvon's Life More Valuable?

August 1, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

And where is the outcry? Where is Al Sharpton? Or the NAACP? A young African-American woman was murdered on a table in back of an abortion mill in Chicago, and there is a black out of media attention. Why? Was it because a group of people killed her, and only one person killed Trayvon? Could it be the weapon used to carry out the murder of Trayvon was a gun, while Tonya was murdered with curettes and suction hoses? As you remember, there was a media blitz everyday, for weeks! for Trayvon. But only one major media outlet has reported on Tonya’s murder and death. Press_Release July 28

Notice the contrast: Tonya and her second trimester baby died on a table. Trayvon died on a sidewalk. Trayvon Martin's family was in the center of the spotlight seeking justice. So too, are Tonya Reaves family, but there is no spotlight. Indeed, it appears that women, in particular black women, carry no value in society; especially lately. For example, here, in the St Louis area, for the past two weeks, there have been numerous gun shootings and a marked increase of violence in the black community. In each of these latest incidents a young women was cut down in the street and died.

http://fox2now.com/2012/07/29/the-jaco-report-july-29-2012/ Also, it appears there is a code of silence on the streets. No one who knows information pertaining to these violent crimes will come forth due to the “No Snitching” mentality. Understand, people in the community know who the perpetrators are, but they won't tell! So, where is the moral outcry? Why are women's lives less valuable? Is it because of the “A” word? Whatever the reason, there seems to be a double standard in society when it comes to black women dying, or any woman, for that matter, dying from a legal abortion. However, the no snitching mentality exhibited when a bad abortionist is hurting and killing women when they undergo abortions, and girls shot down in the street, is the same. Why are we accepting this substandard treatment of women? According to medical reports, it is very clear Tonya Reaves suffered a cruel painful death from the moment she walked into the abortion mill till twelve hours later.

During that time inside the mill where she underwent a second trimester abortion, she laid bleeding from a perforated uterus and an incomplete abortion. Once emergency personal were summoned, some five and a half hours later, she was rushed to Northwestern University Hospital in Chicago, where more time was lost due to the code of silence in the abortion mill. Emergency physicians had to reconstruct her abortion timeline and access what led to her injuries and the underlying problems which proved to be fatal. All this cover-up delay, substandard care, negligence, cost her and her family, her life. In contrast, Trayvon's resting place was marked off with crime scene tape and a full and lengthy investigation was launched as the nation watched through the media. It was the talk of every media outlet. Marches and protest took place across cities. There was full frontal outrage. I ask you where is the outrage and investigation and support for Tonya Reaves?

Trayvon Martin’s alleged killer was arrested, handcuffed and marched in leg shackles in front of televisions throughout our nation. In Tonya’s murder, the abortionist, the clinical director and the staff of the abortion mill, should be handcuffed and shackled and exposed in the national spotlight for the criminal activity and double standard that goes on behind abortion mill doors. Tonya Reaves, like a lot of dead women, who have suffered at the hands of abortionist, did not have to die. This was not an accident. I ask you, is five and a half hours a reasonable amount of time to lay hemorrhaging? This woman would have survived had emergency help been summoned early on. This was a homicide and should be treated as such. Where is the outrage?

Why is the abortion industry held to a different standard than any other cold-blooded killer?

Different weapon: same results.

Documents Reveal Tonya Reaves Suffered Incomplete Abortion, Perforated Uterus, and Fatal Delay in Emergency Care Access at Hands of Planned Parenthood

CHICAGO, July 30, 2012 New documents released in the Tonya Reaves tragedy reveal a timeline leading to her death that clearly shows Planned Parenthood delayed summoning emergency care for the dying woman for five and a half hours after a severely botched abortion.

At 11:00 a.m. on Friday, July 20 ^, 2012, Reaves received a second-trimester dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortion at Planned Parenthood, located at 18 S. Michigan Ave. in Chicago.

After the abortion, Reaves suffered bleeding. The bleeding continued at Planned Parenthood for five and a half hours before a Fire Department ambulance finally took her to Northwestern Memorial Hospital at 4:30 p.m. according to a report by Steve Miller of the CBS news affiliate WBBM .

It is clear that Planned Parenthood botched the procedure that resulted in uncontrolled bleeding then failed to treat the hemorrhage while Reaves was at their clinic, allowing her to bleed for over five hours before finally calling for help. This is blatant negligence. Ms. Reaves would be alive today had she been professionally monitored and had her injuries been treated timely and properly. Better yet, had she never stepped foot in this abortion facility.

Once at the hospital, it appears the Emergency Room staff had to start from scratch to figure out the extent of Reaves injuries.

According to Dr. James Anderson M.D., in his 30 years of experience as an Emergency Room Physician, abortion clinics never informed him about their patients' conditions.

"I have always had to evaluate the situation, come to my own conclusions, and initiate what I thought was appropriate treatment. This definitely created some time delays that were not in the patient's best interest," stated Dr. Anderson. "These delays can have life-threatening implications when dealing with hemorrhage or infection."

In Tonya's case, that delay proved fatal.

At 5:30 p.m., doctors performed an ultrasound, which revealed the abortion was incomplete, something solely the responsibility of the Planned Parenthood abortionist.

Reaves was then given a second D&E abortion procedure, but that apparently did not solve the problems and pain Reaves was experiencing.

A second ultrasound revealed a perforation in Reaves uterus.

Reaves was returned to the operating room at 10:12 p.m. for additional surgery where "an uncontrollable bleed was discovered." At 11:20 p.m., Reaves was pronounced dead.

Planned Parenthood butchered Tonya Reaves, delayed her access to emergency care, then left the emergency room doctors to figure out what happened to her. By the time they discovered the true extent of her injuries, it was too late to save her life . “Safe, Legal, and Rare”, the abortion industry motto. Think again.

Of course, Planned Parenthood is trying to minimize their responsibility for Reaves completely avoidable death that appears to have resulted from a combination of their negligence, delay - possibly for the purpose of cover-up - and lack of communication with emergency providers.

That abortion clinic is dangerous and should be closed. The abortionist should not be allowed to continue to inflict harm on women and should have his medical license revoked.

A blown up picture of Tonya Reaves should be placed outside abortion mills across our county stating, “WOMEN DIE : FAMILIES CRY”/ ANOTHER DEAD WOMAN KILLED BY ABORTION””

And where, may I ask you, is the outrage coming from pro- woman organizations?

Family Seeks Answers After Woman’s Death Following Abortion

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 04:17:32 GMT

Second Trimester Abortion Kills Young Woman

Forward by Angela Michael

Another young woman dies at the hands of "safe ,legal, and rare" motto of the abortion industry. It's called "choice" , It happened this past Friday at a Planned Parenthood in Chicago, Illinois. Tonya Reeves was killed during her abortion.

It appears she hemorrhaged in the back of this abortion mill that advertises it kills babies up until the 18th week of pregnancy. Dismemberment abortions (D&E) are often performed after 12 weeks. She was transferred to Northwestern University Hospital ,the same hospital that trained Hope Clinic abortionist, Erin King, where she died. More than likely, this was preventable.

We have learned from numerous lawsuits, that due to sub-standard conditions and unqualified staff, gross negligence and malpractice, coupled by a delay in calling 911 for assistance, errors are made, and women die.

Abortion advocates rally they never want to return to "back alley abortions". But, back alley abortions have not ended.

They just cost more and the abortionist comes through the front door.

CHICAGO (CBS) – The family of a Chicago woman who died after an abortion at Planned Parenthood says it wants answers about her death.

Tonya Reaves, 24, died late Friday night from a hemorrhage, with a cervical dilation and evacuation, as well as an intrauterine pregnancy as contributing causes, according to the medical examiner’s office.

She died after she’d had an abortion at Planned Parenthood at 18 S. Michigan Av, according to the medical examiner’s office.

Her death was ruled an accident, but the Reaves family wants to know more, especially Tonya’s twin sister Toni.

“We were born the same day. She was my other half,” Toni said.

Toni Reaves said the family is trying to get through this.

“It happened so fast. She was just fine one day and then the next day she was gone. We’re just trying to figure out what happened… what happened,” she said.

Toni Reaves said her sister was engaged to be married and had one son – Alvin – who just had his first birthday.

In a written statement, Planned Parenthood of Illinois CEO Carole Brite said “We were shocked and saddened upon learning of a tragic development at a nearby hospital. Our hearts go out to the loved ones of this patient.

“While legal abortion services in the United States have a very high safety record, a tragedy such as this is devastating to loved ones and we offer our deepest sympathies. Planned Parenthood of Illinois cares deeply about the health and safety of each and every patient. We do not publicly discuss private patient matters and we follow HIPAA laws that forbid the disclosure of patient information.”

INNOCENCE COLLIDES WITH CATASTROPHE

Aurora, Colorado Movie Massacre

July 20, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

Another mass shooting at yet another crowded, unsuspecting group of innocent people.

Yes, our nation has become a pattern of killing, hurting, healing and asking WHY?

One of our nation’s worst murder sprees was the senseless Columbine High School massacre in 1999. People are still asking WHY ? This latest shooting took place inside a crowded theater just after midnight where the Batman “Dark Knight “trilogy was about to be premiered. The graphic scene was described as a scene “I never want to see again.” by witnesses. Bodies of babies, children, and teens scattered throughout the theater in bloodied seats, stairwells, and in their parent’s laps...motionless.

According to news reports, approximately 72 innocent people were shot, 58 wounded, 12 have died, 9 more are critical at this posting. The youngest victim was 4 months. The oldest, just 45 years old. One has to ask, considering the random pattern and frequencies of such rampages, what have we as a society done to ingrain such a total lack of respect for life, any life? There is no police force big enough to secure this nation from the violence within the soul of society that lies in wait, like a ticking time bomb. Then, one day it just goes off!

I ask you, could there be a connection between the bloodshed we have allowed to be shed in the womb and what we see in the streets, the High School, and now the movie theater? Have we become so calloused to premeditated murder, that a normal looking kid can just pick up a rifle, a shotgun and walk into a dark crowded theater and begin the carnage and calmly murder moviegoers? What makes this alleged shooter think he can do that to another person let alone persons? Could it be possible that when we removed God from every form of our lives, we have allowed the devil in?

This kid was an honor student. He was smart. As I understand it, he was a pre-med student who had recently dropped out. He was a loner. Quiet. Most mass-murders are, they harbor ill-will for a period of time, and then one day, they snap. That is not to say all loners are killers. But as a society we are responsible for those in it. But understand, we have been entrenched for over 39 years with bloodshed on demand. What then should society expect? When you sow bloodshed in the womb, you will reap it in the streets.

This is what we are reaping. A Culture of Death . We have become a savage nation when we allow the senseless murder of unborn children. We shouldn’t be surprised when these mass-shootings happen: in fact we need to be prepared for more. Hosea 4:2 says, “Bloodshed pursues bloodshed”. What will it take for us to connect the dots; murder in the womb and murder in the streets?

Lethal bullets versus curettes and suction hoses. There is no difference. Both kill. The one and only cure for us now, is acknowledgement of our sin and repentance.

II Chronicles 7:14 “If my people , who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will heal their land.” Instead of asking WHY ? We should be asking WHEN ? What kind of cold calculated person walks into a movie theatre and shoots a 4 month old baby? The same person who walks into an abortion clinic every day across our nation. It’s just a different weapon.

God have mercy!

Where is the Fear of God?

Written by Angela Michael

“Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush” Jeremiah 6:15

“Greasy Grace” and other fables is leading the American Church straight to Hell!

Imagine a woman drives up to a bank, goes inside, pulls out a Magnum 357, robs the teller, then shoots and kills the bank guard . On her way out she tells the stunned witnesses, “It’s okay, I prayed about it: I have free-will and God will forgive me." This is an extreme example of the easy greasy grace and over confidence that is prevalent in most Christian churches today.

This above story is fiction, of course, but the tragic reality is that the same scenario plays out everyday outside the baby slaughterhouse in Granite City. This past week alone we heard from several abortion bound clients and their accomplices as they were going inside this late term abortion mill with this “cheap grace” attitude . Supposedly it covers everything that falls under the heading of SIN . I ask you, church of Jesus Christ, where is the fear of God?

Throughout the decades of our daily ministering in Granite City, which is known for the baby killing mill, we have hardheartedly witnessed, time and time again Catholics and Protestants alike--supposedly Christians all--premeditatedly murdering their innocent babies. Many of the couples will stop and take our literature, or we'll offer to pray with them and they'll often tell us, "We're good,"or that they've "prayed about it already." In fact, just a few days ago I spoke with a young girl who came with her mother's blessing to kill her baby, but she wanted to make sure God would forgive her. Linda also confronted an abortion bound couple who had "prayed" about their decision before entering the abortion mill. They told her “they had a free will and God would forgive them”. Linda reminded them that if their actions would require God’s forgiveness, then maybe they shouldn’t be doing it. (Just view “Where is the Church” on our website smallvictorisusa.com It’s sickening.)

Unfortunately, the truth is we fear the IRS more than the Creator of our universe. Don't we recognize God’s judgments upon this morally depraved nation lately? Look at the most recent weather disasters across our county; from tornados to sweltering heat waves. Look at our crops. How about the economy? God does speak to us in parables and He uses circumstances to get our attention to wake us up before it’s too late.

Yes, God is a merciful God and He does forgive, but our actions do have consequences! Look at how long this immorality has advanced and gone on. And, if we dare open that book of instructions, better know as the Bible, we can then read the truth of how God sees sin; a subject we rarely hear preached on in most churches today. Yes, I can name on one hand how many pastors preach on sin, judgment, and repentance. It’s sad. We have priests and pastors that are so busy building their churches and entertaining their flock that they don’t realize that by avoiding the truth and refusing those hellfire and brimstone messages, they are leading their flocks straight to hell. They, of course believe otherwise. But, it’s true nonetheless. That is why God's word is so watered down and the church people are so deluded to the truth of sin. They want it their way. They are not following God's ways and His laws.

READ your Bibles people! The prophets went through the same thing we are going through. In Jeremiah, he witnessed so much sin and depravity, especially with the shedding of innocent blood, that he asked God to not hear their prayers and rather destroy the people and their land. He had had enough! Here's a question for you; Why do we see so much judgment in this land? Answer: God is still trying to wake His people up! He only asks us to turn from our sins; to quit sinning so He can heal our land. ( Read II Chronicles 7:14 ) Why do our enemies rule over us? Because we have allowed them in. ( Read Psalms 106:34-48 ) This is one reason we have Chicago gangsters running the White House.

Sure, we worship God with our lips on Sundays, but do we serve Him on Mondays? Ministries like ours are considered fools and maniacs for living our faith out in the streets and at the very gates of Hell. Why? Because people would rather believe a lie than know the truth. Truth is hate to those who hate the truth. Make no mistake about it, killing an innocent baby is MURDER ! And for professing Christians to think they can avoid the wrath and judgment of God like a game of monopoly where you get a freepass to avoid jail; I don’t think so. Abortion, let alone premeditated abortion is a serious and grievious sin . It breaks God's heart because that innocent baby is made in God's own image. You are killing God with every abortion! This nation can not go on sinning and think God will continue to forgive them. Hebrews 10:26 says, " ² For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins."

And sure, we all fall short of the glory, but we don’t have to make sinning a ministry! And yes, mothers and accomplices that have killed a child can be forgiven, but only if there is TRUE , sincere repentance. NOT this sloppy agape, cheap grace forgiveness. It won't stick. Men of God, this is a heads up to you. You are to be the head of the household, the defender, their protector. What on God’s green earth are you thinking? You need to stop. You need to man up to this situation. It takes two to get pregnant. Abortion truly is a man’s problem. Men need to stop making God’s precious grace an excuse to live like hell! If you don’t want a baby: keep it zipped.

If you really care about her, you will speak the truth to her in love. It doesn’t make you any less of a man, or a wimp, and she will admire you more for it. Remember the bank robber? You will get caught. The accomplice is just like the get-away driver in the bank robbery. You will be charged with the same crime. God is our ultimate judge, and I would not want to be in their shoes. ( Read Hosea 9:7-9 ). So, are we going to be the gourmet Christians God intended, or are we the typical Cafeteria Christian: picking and choosing what laws we will follow and hoping God's grace will cover our "on purpose" transgressions?

Pastors this is a direct charge to you: Preach the truth: preach it often. Don’t worry there might be a church split “Have I now become your enemy because I tell you the truth?” Look at all the souls you are leading. And if the church does split, maybe it needed to happen. As the spiritual head, pastor, we have a family responsibility of the spiritual health of the church as well as individual members in the church. It’s okay to discipline. It is a sign of love: not contempt of another person. James 5:19-20

Take the Lord's admonition to Jeremiah, as your own: "Now, gird up your loins and arise, and speak to them all which I command you. Do not be dismayed before them, or I will dismay you before them." (Jeremiah 1:17)

Pridefest 2012

June 23-24

Written by Angela Michael

“Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is their shame, who mind earthly things?” Philippians 3:18-19

Under sunny skies, as the temperature flirted with the century mark, we stood in the thick crowds of St. Louis Pride, awaiting the annual parade on Sunday, the second day of Pridefest. Yesterday, Saturday, marked the pet parade and the commitment ceremonies. Today’s crowds seemed larger and the barricades which our ministry is accredited for were already lining the streets. You see, in years past we were able to walk right up to the honorable Mayor Francis Slay as he went by and give him an open rebuke for leading this abomination but, after two years of this, he had enough and barricades went up. Oh well. The smell of booze and cigarettes filled the sultry skies. This would prove to be the hottest day of the year so far, and the largest pride fest to date; with reportedly over 100 thousand revelers in attendance both days, and approximately 200 vendors inside the park in support of Gay pride.

The crowds swelled as the parade began with sirens blaring and Catholic Mayor Francis Slay leading the debacle. The gay police force made its way down the parade route to cheers from the crowd. St Louis politicians and hopefuls running for office made their way down the street shaking hands and handing out literature; emboldened, no doubt, by President Obama’s recently coming out in support of gay marriage. Funny, when the Obama float and walkers went by, there were no cheers. The young adults next to us commented that “He waited too long to show his support” and “They realize he needs our votes; that’s why he did it.” The adults were “not sure they would vote for him again.” Wow! We were wedged against the barricades with homosexuals on either side of us, so we had some interesting conversations and heard many comments regarding homosexuality and entrants in the parade.

The officials kept encouraging the crowds to show their pride and scream pride, but from all our years of witnessing at this event it seems to be mainly a display of drunkenness and barely dressed men and women. Yes, it appears that pride stands for lewd and lascivious behavior as the “shock value” parade entries showed their nakedness or their emulating sex acts and displayed vulgar signs. Indeed, it appears “pride” is not just your sexual orientation but, anything that goes against the grain. An act of rebellion. Our daughter made an interesting observation, “Why is it that gays can get by with parading their sin and nakedness and it’s acceptable, but if straight people paraded down the street naked and drunk: it would be a scandal and someone would be going to jail?”

It wouldn’t be a pride fest parade without the transvestites and drag queens, the same old same old. And, of course there were the aging drag queens and gay octogenarians sitting in the Lambada cars attempting the princess wave. So sad. They should be playing shuffle board and drinking lemonades somewhere in Florida. Several sponsors, not surprisingly, Macy’s, Starbucks, Absolute Vodka, Budlight, Monsanto, ID Lubricant, to name a few, walked by. There were representatives from Barnes- Jewish Hospital and the St. Louis Public Library had two lesbian librarians driving the mobile library unit, with signs of support. Is nothing sacred? They just ruined a fond childhood memory. The gay marriage float consisting of two balloon rings drew applause and cheers. And yes, in case you’re wondering, my deathscort friends from Hope Clinic were sprinkled in the parade. They didn’t walk with the Planned Parenthood group, however. Just the same, they were walking in support of gay pride.

The most vulgar signs were held by the Planned Parenthood grey-white haired lesbians sitting in the V.W. bug. One read ‘We Protect Your Vagina!” ..another read “VAGINA” “VAGINA”,”VAGINA” ..I’m thinking to myself, “What do lesbians and homosexuals care about protecting a vagina! Neither one can get pregnant! Doesn’t Planned Parenthood cater to heterosexuals, too?” Go figure. But we did realize this: homosexuals and baby killers both love death and serve the same master, that being Satan. Oh, and it got raunchier; and the parade was too long in this heat. The floats and groups were spaced too far apart. We felt so sorry for the poor pooches in this parade. It was too hot! The homosexual next to me kept trying to get me to jump up and down with him or begged me to feel how hard his nipples were when another barely dressed float entrant came by. When I declined he said, “Oh, that’s right, you’re into vaginas anyway” . “Whatever,” I thought.

I began asking him why he comes here. He shared his sad childhood in Northeastern Missouri. He could never come out then. Just then the militant “growing gay youth” group came by. Their numbers have sharply increased as they screamed in our faces and were five hundred strong! The gay guy next to me then said “I wish I would have had that kind of support when I was growing up.” Then the burlesques academy and pole dancers came by. Last year it took our breath away: this year it was nauseating. Mostly overweight women walking topless in their Bermuda shorts or underwear. Please understand, this is all going on in front of little kids! I asked the little boy next to me if he was having fun. He said, “No”. I said, “I bet you would rather be swimming or playing ball?” He shook his head up and down, and walked away.

A group of young adults took his place on the barricades next to me. The most wicked part of the parade was just coming by. This section contained the deluded American Churches; mostly United Churches of Christ, although there were a few other church groups peppered in this pride fest parade. But when these churches came by. this group of kids next to me all started giving their approval and commented how ”they felt validated,” because the churches said, ” it’s okay to be gay”. Some of their twisted scripture signs read, God Says to Love One Another. God Wants U 2 Be U! Gay by God. God is still Speaking” ad nauseum. Indignation was running up my sweaty neck. Maybe someone noticed J But these wolves dressed as pastors in their starched finery waved as the crowd cheered; their presence seemingly giving God’s approval of this debauchery.

These shepherds are called to lead their sheep and here they are saying’ “luv, luv, one another,” and also giving their approval to abortion. They are leading their flocks alright; straight to hell. It incensed me to hear these kids saying, “I’m so glad the churches approve”. Churches namely: Catholic Action Network for Social Justice, Trinity Episcopal, Second Presbyterian, Third Baptist, Metropolitan Community Church, Light of Love Fellowship, Jewish Communities Churches, “Shalom” ! But you know why false churches are here? Because we, the real church of Jesus Christ, refuse to show up for these battles! I tell you, if there were 100 genuine churches standing along this parade route, maybe it would make a difference.

I ask you; where in the Bible does God say it’s okay to have sex with another man or another woman? Please point it out. This seems to be what this parade is all about; having sex with the same sex. It’s the churches fault that this country is being destroyed from within. Gay pride and homosexuality is just one of the manifestations of the enemy. The Fox 2 camera man zoomed in on the kids next to me and actually interviewed the male; the girl was afraid to be seen on camera. The cameraman offered, “Don’t compare our station to the Fox national affiliate. We are nothing like them!” Wow! He is probably gay too. Listen, my thoughts at that time were consumed by one thought; “We, conservative America, have lost the war. Evil is taking over because we are M.I.A. and our churches are full of sanctimonious hypocrites. They are there just going through the motions. No confrontational types. And, we are losing our kids! Losing them to the immoral filth filling our schools, TV’s, music, and the social network. We, meanwhile, stupidly and cowardly keep putting the responsibility of raising our children in the hands of others. This is why we witnessed so many more young people at this event today. We, the Catfish Christians refuse to get involved or confront what is evil and we just resign ourselves to “getting along.” God help us!

A silent killer is destroying the very moral fabric of this once great nation as we stand by silently and play church. We keep depending on Washington D.C. to fix us. WAKE UP! Everyone, including the homosexuals, are coming out. Everyone, that is, except for the real Christian believers! You know, I looked into the faces of a lot of homosexuals on this day and their eyes are really sad. Oh, they try and cover it up with multiple relationships and alcohol, but, inside they are sad. The one redeeming spot in today’s mission was as we were leaving the park we were confronted gently by two young men with a sign saying, “Would You Like to Know Jesus?”

It caught my eye and one young man noticed. He then handed me a piece of paper, a tract, I thanked him and kept walking. Yes, they were gently witnessing to the homosexual community, in love. No screaming or condemnation. I opened the tract as I walked and read it. My eyes filled with tears as I read about this loving man called Jesus and how much he loved the sinners. He loved them so much that he loved them out of their sinful lifestyle and ways. There is HOPE after all! I commend this wonderful ministry headed by Steve Cohen, The Apple of His Eye.org ministries.

“Thank You Lord for today and the gentle witnessing and for those lives that may have been saved. Keep sending your messengers, God. You can still redeem us and really bless this nation and heal our land. Sin leads to an eternal death, and I don’t want that for anyone.”

Ezekiel 3:18-19 “When I say to a wicked man,” You will surely die”, and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn form his wickedness, or evil ways, he will die for his sin: but you will have saved yourself.”

The St. Louis Sea of Pink... Shrinks

Forward by Angela Michael

June 23, 2012

After several years of making the pilgrimage to the annual largest Komen fundraiser here in the Midwest with our literature and meeting runners at the end of the race, and marching down Market street with our, Why Are Not Women being Told? banner, public awareness and national exposure has paid off.

In year’s past, we would stand neck deep in a sea of pink, packed in like sardines at this largest fundraising event. This year , however, it was quite noticeable that the numbers of attendees and participants in the race were down. Could it be the truth regarding the relationship between Planned Parenthood and Susan Komen? Or the fact that women are not receiving mammograms at Planned Parenthood abortion facilities, and that much of the money allotted from Susan Komen foundation is going towards abortions.. the biggest proven risk factor of breast cancer?

Maybe former donors and participants saw through the lies when Susan Komen rescinded on her promise to cut ties and financial funding to Planned Parenthood earlier this year. It’s a shame , because women are dying as the Komen foundation pours so much energy in racing to find a cure when they should be racing to find the cause, all causes.

Breast cancer survivors, supporters come together "as one" for Komen race

Laurie Skrivan

ST. LOUIS • In the Middle Ages, the sound of church bells summoned people to experience the supernatural.

On Saturday morning, the ringing of Christ Church Cathedral’s bells downtown signaled the start of a race to fund research that will supersede nature.

About 51,000 people took off from the pink starting line on Olive Street , below the cathedral’s pealing bells, for the Susan G. Komen St. Louis Race for the Cure. The charity funds breast cancer research and care.

Yvonne Cross, 72, of Berkeley , was at her 11th Race for the Cure, supporting her daughter, a two-time breast cancer survivor.

“When you see the amount of people that are all going through the same thing, it really helps,” she said.

Her friend Bernice Davis, 59, also of Berkeley, said she had been cancer-free for 18 months. “It’s about coming together as one,” Davis said.

While there was a definite sense of unity in the multitudes, fewer people came together for the race this year. The number of registered participants, which organizers say could still rise, was down from 64,000 last year and nearly 72,000 — the record — in 2010.

In recent years, the St. Louis event has been the largest Komen race in the nation, and organizers said they believed it still was, but with half the year still to go, they were not sure St. Louis would retain that title. According to fundraising totals on Komen’s website, this year’s St. Louis race generated $2.4 million, though organizers say that number will grow. Last year the race brought in $3 million, and in 2010, $3.4 million.

In February, Komen announced that it was excluding Planned Parenthood from future grants for breast cancer screenings and education programs.

A nationwide furor fueled by social media such as Twitter and Facebook led Democrats and liberals to say the move was part of a broad campaign against Planned Parenthood for its position on abortion. Komen’s vice president of public policy resigned, and the charity ultimately decided to continue the Planned Parenthood grants.

The local Planned Parenthood provides breast exams to 7,000 women each year but has never received funding from the St. Louis Komen affiliate. Some race organizers believed that distance would protect the St. Louis race from lower participation rates seen in other parts of the country.

Dede Hoffmann, president of the board of directors for Komen’s St. Louis affiliate, said she didn’t know why participation numbers were down this year.

“We’re not making a judgment call on that,” she said. “Who knows what makes things tick?”

She said the board would not rule out making changes next year to try to increase participation to previous years’ levels.

“We always want to make things better, even when we’re at the top of our game,” Hoffmann said.

The 51,000 participants-in-pink and the thousands more who came to cheer them on (also mostly in pink) were more apt to be marveling at one another’s T-shirts than discussing political controversy. Among the messages: “Brook’s Brigade: Can’t Knocker Down.” “Guard the Melons.” “Fight Like a Girl for Sherry.” “G’ma Pam’s Rack Pack.”

Richard Harms, 37, of Roxana, dyed his hair pink for the race. He had come downtown with his wife and friend to support Anita Napier, a 65-year-old breast cancer survivor from Collinsville . .

“We’ve come down for three years to support our friend and anyone who’s gone through this,” Harms said. “You never know — cure one cancer, you may cure them all.”

Dogs sported pink as well as people. Every shape of dog wore a pink lei or pink bandana around its neck. Hundreds of runners wore pink tutus. A block east on Market Street , a pink firetruck idled near City Hall.

Nearby, through a massive pink balloon Arch, a woman sang Mariah Carey’s “Hero” on the Komen stage, as TV anchors broadcast the festivities from a raised platform in Poelker Park .

Sitting under the shade of a tree, Shirley Long, 74, of Granite City , said she had been coming to the race for the last seven years. She has been a survivor four times longer, beating breast cancer in 1984.

“Everyone here is either a survivor or someone who loves a survivor,” Long said. “It’s moving to be here with all these people. We’re all in the same boat.”

ERIN KING...EXPOSED

A Letter to Small Victories

June 18, 2012

The following letter was sent to us recently by a former patient of Hope Clinic’s new female abortionist Erin King when she was an obstetrician practicing in Chicago a few years ago. “Carmen” describes Erin King as a compassionate and popular physician when practicing in Chicago , Illinois , but something must have “snapped” inside her to go in the opposite direction and kill babies.

Through our decades of pro-life activism and ministry, we have exposed the workers of iniquity and given them an open

rebuke that they cannot serve two masters. In addition, we are to “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:11.

“Woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the Lord; who do their work in darkness and think, ‘Who sees us? Who will know?’” Isaiah 29:15.

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.” Erin , you cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6:24.

Hi Angela - I just wanted to say thank you for what you are doing. I came across your website and ministry when I googled my old doctor, Erin King, to see what she's been up to. Needless to say, I was shocked, stunned, mortified, and deeply saddened that she is an abortionist. She delivered my oldest child here in Chicago before moving to St. Louis . I was wondering where she is now but never did I think it would be an abortion clinic.

Since making this discovery, I have been reading all your street reports and blog entries. I'm amazed by everything you're doing. Thank you so much for saving over 4000 babies. I have always been pro life but your work has touched me deeper and made me more sensitive to this atrocious act.

I will be following your work, please keep it up. I really thank you again for your courage to minister where and how you do. You have made me aware and present to this atrocity in Granite City . I will be praying!

Peace, blessings, and miracles,

Carmen

“A wise man’s heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction.” Proverbs 16:23

On Father’s Day we lament and honor fatherhood. I don’t know if men realize how vital their role as father and daddy is to their children. He is the foundation. A child naturally looks to their father as the protector and the provider. A dad has the strength of superman, nerves of steel, the soft comforting arm of night. He has the wisdom of ages and doesn’t look like it : ) and the patience of a saint. He is the “jam-remover” by constantly helping the kids get out of them…whether it be a gentle nudge to teens slacking on curfew and chores, or getting rid of the overflow of suds coming from the backyard fountain after the four year old poured bubble bath in it-- before mom finds out! Thanks, Dad, for having our backs. The average dad (at least in our family) will wear out a pair of shoes while the rest of the family wears out a set of tires.

Children need good role models. Little eyes emulate what they see and hear. They crave security, stability, and love. So, thank you for the tender discipline, virtues, morals, and emotional fortitude. We couldn’t fair near as well without that loving guidance. And if your dad is less than perfect, it might be a good time to forgive his shortcomings. If he is your hero, it might be time to really acknowledge him.

The greatest gift I ever had came from God: I call him Dad.

Happy Father’s Day,

Angela

The Twentieth Anniversary of Small Victories Ministry

June 2012

Written by Angela Michael

Over 100 prayer warriors made the pilgrimage to celebrate the Christian-based, family-run ministry of Small Victories that for the past 20 years has been embedded daily outside the Midwest ’s largest, late-term abortion mill, Hope Clinic. Hope Clinic is located in Granite City , Illinois , once known for its steel mill industry which brought families from across all 50 states. Now, Granite City is known for the late term abortion mill. It still brings families from all 50 states, unfortunately to dump their unborn babies.

This was a special day as we brought our rescued and adopted children also to bless the crowds of supporters. It was an overwhelming sight as we made our way through the redshirted prayer warriors with our youngest children to the front sidewalk where our Ultrasound Van is located. All of the new faces were stopping us, smiling, and asking if these were our babies. “Yes,” we replied as we greeted and thanked them for being here. Our youngest daughter donning cowgirl boots and a cowgirl hat appeared to be a little overwhelmed at all the attention she was receiving. Our youngest son Isaac just seemed to go with the flow as his daddy held him. The crowds just couldn't take their eyes off or keep from offering sweet comments to them.

We found Pastor Todd, founder of Church Without Walls, and greeted and thanked him for leading the charge. Everyone kept coming up to us and thanking us for our ministry as they began doing a Jericho March around the abortion mill. At one point, the pastors present instructed the prayer warriors to stand silently and hold hands to form a prayer chain. There were so many proclaimers this day, including young children, that we were able to completely surround the slaughterhouse walls. We could feel the Holy Spirit as we silently stood in prayer in the hopes that abortion would come to an end here in Granite City .

Many years ago, I remember standing in that desolate, lonely alley with four old men that would come on Saturdays and prayed the rosary. I remember being outside there when groups from all over the area would stand outside Hope(less) with giant skeletons and Grim Reapers when it was just the old wooden slaughterhouse. It has since reinvented itself and is now a $2 million state-of-the-art abortion facility. I remember how I stood and watched groups of women who had to park at the end of the alley by the lounge and endure the three minute walk up to the slaughterhouse doors. There was no one…no agency…no pregnancy centers there to intervene. It was awful. These abortion-bound women looked like herds of cattle being led to the slaughterhouse.

I remember getting up off my knees, and I began the legacy of Small Victories. Once we started talking women out of abortion, we needed somewhere for them to receive help. However, there was no one available. We called the pregnancy centers; they refused to help us or to even perform ultrasounds. It appeared that we were beating our heads against a brick wall in Granite City , where the resources were few and far in between. Abortion-bound women who were changing their minds and choosing life were falling through the cracks. One was simply too many. So instead of being consumed by what other cash cow centers were not doing, we equipped ourselves to do what was necessary to save lives. We started operating out of our family van, and eventually over the years we worked up to obtaining a used recreational vehicle. Basically we turned it into a pregnancy support mobile unit equipped with ultrasound and dedicated our family and our lives to be embedded outside this abortion mill as an alternative to women seeking abortion.

We realized many years ago in our Christian walk that it is easy to say that you are pro-life; however, it is another thing to “do” pro-life. That is what saves babies. When we stand outside an extermination center witnessing families being destroyed once child at a time and telling mothers not to kill, we had better have answers to an abortion-minded woman’s reasoning. We did not know it 20 years ago, but God had a plan and His hand was on this idea we were pregnant with. We birthed the ultrasound movement you are currently hearing about across the nation where abortion centers are located. We pioneered the first ultrasound to be embedded in front of a slaughterhouse to be an actual “Window to the Womb” so mothers can see and hear the truth of the humanity nestled in their wombs before their scheduled appointments inside the slaughterhouse. And God blessed us, and we blossomed, and others took notice…even bad people. All kinds of trials and tribulation came against us, but we overcame them all. We made national history and news as we exposed and lifted the sewer lid on the abortion industry. We have continued with God’s vital work in Granite City . And all this work has been accomplished without a 40 Days for Life campaign.

Today, we could embrace all of the sweet victories and years of blood, sweat, and tears as our ministry paved the way for others to do the same. But especially, we celebrated the over 4200 babies that have been rescued from abortion through our efforts and prayers and the 42 babies that have been adopted through our ministry by Christian couples. Pastor Todd gathered everyone around us as we held our babies and he gave us special recognition for our faithfulness. He introduced us to the new faces and shared how much he, other churches, and pastors appreciated our work and how much they support us and respect our ministry. The compliment of respect stood out.

Pastor Gavin asked us to speak to the crowds where we were handed a dozen roses and a large plant to show a little of their appreciation. We began by thanking them all for coming and sharing how much they bless us on the firing lines. Many years ago, there was no one to intervene, and the pro-life movement from the 80’s seemed to disappear from the sidewalks surrounding this mill until we began in that lonely alley years ago. Someone had to make a difference. Someone had to step up. People had to be willing to lay their lives down for their little brothers and sisters being led to their slaughter. Proverbs 24:11-12.

We then announced to the crowds that we wanted to bless them this day by showing them a couple of the fruits of our labors that were destined to die had someone not intervened. We held up our youngest children to the crowds where applause went up and filled the skies.

“These precious children would not be here had someone not cared. I thank you all for being those first responders today with your prayers and your bodies. You are saving lives and making a difference every time you make the sacrifice and show up on the frontlines of this battle. We are the last lines of defense for these precious children, and just like our youngest children, who knows what they will grow up to be, but at least they were given a chance. And that is what is most pleasing to God: at least we tried. And if there is one more thing I would like to leave on your hearts this day, it is what many years ago the Lord spoke to me when I questioned if we were doing any good: ‘At least Angela, you were there, as these innocent babies were being led to their slaughter. At least you brought them some dignity by being their voice. And above all, you let them know they did not die in vain, and they didn’t die alone. You were there.’”

I thank God that He has used this ministry for His glory. I did not know it before God rescued me from my sinful ways that I was worthy of His forgiveness and love. I never knew how to love, let alone give it. I was never afraid to die, but that is exactly what I had to do in order for God to live in me. We had to lose everything in order for God to work through this ministry to rescue babies, change hearts, and save lives.

“Innocent blood has a voice, and that voice cries out for justice” Genesis 4:10

From Pro-choice to Pro-life

May 17, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

In the past two weeks, we have received confirmation of the saves and conversions of at least two couples, both located out of state travelling over three hours one-way. They contacted our ministry to let us know they both have had a change of heart on the subject of “pro-choice.”

In one instance, the female was an older woman who brought a young couple, not her relative, for an abortion. Once inside the abortion mill, she felt saddened as she looked around in the lobby and viewed all of the girls and women waiting to kill their babies. I asked her, “Why did you bring them?” She said she felt obligated. HUH? She went on to share how she saved her own children who are now expecting her grandchildren. However, this couple had their minds made up and there was no swaying them from their reasoning, she explained. Thus, she felt obligated to help them. (aside: You just broke that precious mother/daughter covenant by assuming a parental role in driving and abetting this young couple to kill their baby ).

This is why Illinois is the dumping ground for underage teens. How would a mother feel finding out that her underage daughter was brought across state lines to kill her grandbaby by a total stranger? The woman went on saying that this was the hardest thing she has ever done. All the way back home, the driver who brought them kept picturing the “fetus.” It made her appreciative that she saved her own children. However, the fact remains that she helped this young couple kill a baby.

“Stella” feels guilty now. She contacted the couple to see how they are doing. The girl has no regrets and feels “relief,” no sadness. Stella said, “All those feelings fell into my lap. I feel shame, I feel sorrow, I feel loss. It wasn’t my decision, but I live with the stain on my spirit and I feel it ever since, the grief of what may have been, what should have been. I am forever pro-life from this day forward.”

The second conversion was more detailed about what our ministry has been exposing in this deceptive industry, especially the pure evil that exudes at Hope Clinic, the Midwest ’s largest, late-term baby dumping mill. It started with an apology. The young man then shared that this was an unexpected first for him and his pregnant ex-girlfriend who was 20 weeks along. He was not aware that this was an abortion center only. “You go there for abortions; not counseling, not hope.” He described the shocking assembly line atmosphere and total lack of professionalism and how it traumatized both of them once inside the slaughterhouse.

“Adam” fast forwarded that after their horrible experience inside Hope(less) Clinic, he returned home and stayed up all night reading our website, our accounts, and warnings basically exposing the truth and the deplorable conditions inside this deceptive women’s clinic titled “HOPE.” He wished he had researched this place before agreeing to come. This really was not his idea or to make the appointment, but, reluctantly, he demanded to come along with her for safety reasons and to help her keep her sanity, as he put it. However, the red flags came out as soon as he stepped foot inside the slaughterhouse. Was it after agreeing to speak with the counselor (joke)? Or the 5 second ultrasound? Adam got a sense of pure evil that ran up his back and almost took his breath away, and it must have been very horrible as he has seen a lot of tragedy and endured bad circumstances in his young life. But the pregnant girl and her relative accompanying them didn’t feel the same degree of discomfort as Adam until they all stepped out of the slaughterhouse and got back into their car. It was unanimous. Her reaction to their experience inside the killing place: “She could not believe she even thought about doing this. Let’s go home!” They all three agreed that although it was a bad experience, it was invaluable because a more clean and compassionate facility might have pulled a hat trick. “We only saw an end, not an option.”

He added that he and our ministry may not spiritually believe together and that he hoped he didn’t offend anyone, but without a belief in God and their doubts of ever worshipping, they probably would never see eye to eye with most of our organization, “But we do agree with you on LIFE.” Adam concluded by saying, “Keep it up… you are the only HOPE for that town.”

The most amazing revelation is that as babies continue to be rescued and saved; as hearts are being changed and conversions of once being pro-choice and now pro-life continues; all this is happening without a 40 Days for Life campaign underway in Granite City. The 40 Days for Life campaign is no more than a scam to raise and pocket money. It is a social club that may raise some awareness, but it is raising and pocketing millions of pro-life dollars for something the Church of Jesus Christ has been ordained to do for the least of these.

As both authors wrote, this was a teachable and valuable lesson. Abortion thrives in the darkness of what is evil. However, it is only in the darkness that we are able to see the stars. Let us always be a light to others who have lost their way. We are fighting the world, and when the world tells us to give up, hope tells us to try it one more time.

Mother’s Day 2012

May 13, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

Being a mother is sometimes a thankless and demanding call, surely not for the faint of heart. However, in my opinion it is the proudest and noblest profession, and the rewards are great. Yes, the homemade gifts of appreciation and occasional thank-you make the runny noses and the many “rites of passage" worth it. And, it's been my experience that somewhere around 21 years after birth, children actually get smart and begin to realize just how tough the job of "mom" is without receiving combat pay. It is then that you may hear the very wise adult child say, “Oh is that what you meant?”

There is a cost to motherhood, however. It is no small sum. For, you see, a loving mother gives her life in sacrifice and dedication in the raising of her children. Her roots of love go deep into their hearts. And motherhood requires divine vision. It requires living by faith and not by sight. So, on this day of honor, we thank you, Moms, for your courageous love in the giving of yourselves. And to those birth mothers who lovingly chose adoption for their children, and to those who give the love of their hearts to adopt these children, we say to these, and to all mothers, we love you and give you thanks everyday of our lives. And remember, no gift to your mother can ever equal her gift to you, that being life.

“Lord, I thank You for the joys and wonders that You give me through the children. Thank You for the wide eyes, innocent ways, and laughter, and for reminding me to keep a childlike perspective on life. Help me to slow down my frantic pace at times, and to always see the spectacular in the seemingly ordinary events of each day.”

“Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of a good report – if there is any virtue and if there is any praise - think on these things.” ~Philippians 4:8

From Russia With Love!

April 2012

Written by Angela Michael

Yes, it’s true! This darling little girl was destined for death had someone not intervened. But because someone cared enough to lay their life down, she was born. And yes, she is from Russia . Her pregnant mother was living in New York and being forced to abort her baby by the boyfriend. However, a brother in Christ who was disciple through our ministry stepped up to the plate, so to speak, and took this desperate mother in a “safe-house” until she gave birth. He then provided safe passage to another state where she and her baby can reside and begin a new life.

He sent the following message again, reinforcing that our ministry Small Victories knows no boundaries.

“This would have been her second abortion. I hid her from her boyfriend at my apartment until the final week (from some crazy Russian mafia guy) then got her to another state. She’s keeping the baby. She says it’s her Easter egg. J

It’s my finest moment. Baby is Anastasia. Mom is Elena. Also from Russia .

We fight anyway we can fight, as much as we are able. Don’t give up the fight. You were the best influence on my life.” Thank You Jesus!

1 Corinthians 15:57-58 “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ…Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

It is through the Holy Spirit that every good work is accomplished. The apostle Paul wrote to the church of Corinth and said, “Your zeal has stirred up the majority” 2 Corinthians 9:2 That is exactly what our ministry has strived to do throughout our years of daily ministry.

God’s grace imparts to all who give themselves as a channel for its outflow to the world. Let your light shine! This is the blessing of those who show mercy to the poor. While those who give and provide for the needy, they themselves are blessed to a still greater degree.

This is what being Jesus is all about. When we are willing to do “whatever it takes” to save a life, the blessing is in the giving.:)

Be encouraged,

Another House Cleaning Inside Hope Slaughterhouse

3 more long-time employees have quit inside Hopeless

…all without the presence of 40 Days

April 21, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

Amazingly, there was no 40 Days for Life Campaign underway to take claim for this victory. It’s good to get people outside of abortions mills, prayerfully and peacefully; but don’t make them pay $200.00, and don’t be present just twice a year. Babies are being killed everyday.

It is a really good feeling to see Klara Dixon away from this abortion mill, as well as her sister, whom we helped to get another job. As we understand it, with the new management inside Hopeless, there is much turmoil and strife as authority is being shuffled. According to former employees, Klara, a medical assistant, was very difficult to work with. This seems to be all that Hope Clinic is hiring: medical assistants.

Who is administering the intravenous fluids and medications? Can the abortionists multitask not only the dismemberment of the baby, but monitor anesthesia, and perform as the circulating nurse, instrument nurse, and post-op recovery room nurse? It makes us wonder what kind of quality care women are receiving inside this $2 million state-of-the-art slaughterhouse when medical assistants outnumber the medical professionals.

However, we know the love of money is the root of all evil, and this abortionist would rather save money and hire unprofessionals to fill in because it is cost effective inside abortion mills. Recently, Hope(less) was once again cited and written up on various safety and health violations upon inspections.

Nothing gives us more joy than to see babies saved and abortion mill workers choosing a better path. We wish Klara all the best. Hopefully, Klara can now finish her education, settle down with a decent Christian man, and raise her son.

An Amazing Story!

From February 20 ^th through March 20 ^th , 33 babies were saved from death at Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois WITHOUT a 40 Days for Life vigil.

March 2012

Written By: Angela Michael

The best part is NOBODY had to pay $200.00 to stand and pray!

Small Victories Ministry, a Christian-based mobile ultrasound/pregnancy outreach, which has been embedded outside the Midwest’s largest late-term abortion mill for 20 years, has confirmed 33 abortion-minded mothers have changed their minds and decided to keep their babies. God has truly blessed Small Victories and the few volunteers that stand daily with this frontline ministry.

Over 20 moms have received ultrasounds and counseling during this time and many have received baby supplies and financial help as well. Yes, immediate help on the spot without filling out forms and taking classes to qualify for assistance. Imagine that. We refer to these mothers as “saves,” and our ministry did not selectively help these mothers choose life for their babies depending on a variety of variables, including which trimester they were in.

Question: Why would anyone pay $200.00 to pray outside an abortion mill? That is exactly what 40 Days for Life requires to be a part of their national campaign. Granted, all abortion mills need daily prayer, but to pay $200.00 is nonsense! What are you paying for? A name? Access to pc modules? You don’t even get the 40 Days signs free! You pay for everything to advertise 40 Days . It’s the biggest sham besides “cash-cow” pregnancy centers , Small Victories, on the other hand, has always been “OUT-OF-THE-BOX,” and we actually have cash cow pregnancy centers to thank for our morphing out of the building and into the streets. Yes, ministering in the streets, just like Jesus did.

But our point is that you don’t have to and shouldn’t be propping up these pro-life organizations who are there to make money off the backs of those who have blazed the trail for them to enjoy their liberties outside abortion mills. Babies can be saved without paying $200.00; we are living proof of it. Yes, it’s always good to get the right kind of people outside facilities where children are being slaughtered, but to charge people $200.00 each campaign to do what every Christian should be doing, as we are our brother’s keeper …that’s just wrong.

Years ago, it was our vision to wake up the local church which, unfortunately, has been a sleeping giant when it comes to the Midwest's largest late-term baby dumping mill. For far too long it appears there seemed to be a secret covenant between the local churches and this abortion mill basically saying, “You don’t bother me, and I won’t bother you.”

Theologian and philosopher Francis Schaeffer said, “The sign outside the abortion mill should read: “THIS ABORTION MILL STAYS OPEN BY PERMISSION OF THE LOCAL CHURCHES.” Granite City, the City of Slaughter, has bowed down to this giant abomination in their own backyard; and you can see why, as the baby killing mill brings a lot of revenue into this financially struggling steel mill town. As a result, harassment and intimidation tactics are brought against those who stand in opposition. They can threaten to make your life a living hell. But our ministry, for decades, has fought through all that. We fear God, not man. We are, however, imported foot soldiers. In our daily Christian witness to this city and residents, we have tried to engage them in rising up and reclaiming what the enemy has stolen by being the salt and light in a dark edge of town.

Yes, it has always been one of our goals to encourage local churches and pastors to unite in a prayerful and peaceful effort "outside" the local abortion mill until its doors are finally closed, but without paying money to do so! And, isn't it amazing that over 30 babies have been saved during the national 40 Days for Life spring campaign, and Granite City was not one of the campaign sites? It proves that you can save lives and get community awareness and church involvement without paying to participate.

Finally, nothing tugs more at your heartstrings and opens your purse strings than the thought of an unborn child being saved at death’s doors. But our ministry has been doing this for decades, and never did it enter our minds to make people pay money to stand and pray outside this abortion mill to achieve this goal. Sometimes, the ugly truth needs to be exposed and sadly the “pay to pray” scam falls into that category.

It has been such a blessing to save over 4000 babies in our years of dedication and selfless service. We never knew what the Lord had in store for us 20 years ago when we started standing, but we knew He had a plan. We just needed to listen and obey.

“That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified” 1 Thessalonians 4:6.

Husband and Wife Serial Baby Killers

David Eisenberg and Erin King

March 9, 2012

Meet your butchers! Here they are pictured at a local NARAL gala this past fall. Both Eisenberg and King have OB/GYN practices in St. Louis and moonlight as baby butchers. Eisenberg is located at Planned Parenthood, aka Auschwitz West in St. Louis, Missouri and King over at Hope Clinic, aka Auschwitz East in Granite City, Illinois. Both reside in University City, Missouri, a growing diverse entertainment area which houses two teaching and learning universities. Sally Burgess, Hopeless deathcamp director, also has property in the “Loop” area of University City.

King practices at the Grace Hill Health Center in a section of North St. Louis, a highly crime ridden and poor black area. She then travels across the river to the Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois where, ironically, more black babies die, than white.

Erin King and David Eisenberg are both 2007 graduates of Northwestern University in Chicago Illinois, and have violated the sacred Hippocratic Oath given to those “called to heal and preserve life.” They are guilty of murdering babies at two local abortion mills. Yes, the husband and wife team have willingly chosen to dismember unborn babies and are getting rich off blood-money at the expense of moms and dads being deceived by the Father of lies, Satan.

There are not many duos like this in America, so let’s pray that God will deal with this deadly tandem and continue to bless our 20 years of daily ministry. Abortions have dropped over 70% in the last two years at the Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill, Hope Clinic, due to our faithfulness. God calls us to be the salt and light, “to have nothing to do with the deeds of darkness, but rather expose them”, Ephesians 5:11 . Let us continue to stand against injustice and plead the case of the fatherless.

In Jesus’ name we pray,

Beads, Babies, and Bank Robbers

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 01:58:29 GMT

February 21, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

FAT TUESDAY, at least in Granite City , was off with a BANG ! While our vital pregnancy outreach was embedded outside the local baby slaughterhouse enticing the abortion-minded women to come inside our ultrasound van with colorful Mardi Gras beads, a local bank within earshot was being robbed. A faithful seminarian and a local pastor with a few prayer warriors joined us and stood praying as we softly offered the clients our free services, “And we have beads!” What can I say? Props help :), and it caught their attention.

Danielle and her cousin came over as I was setting up and BAM, GAME ON! Her cousin came inside ahead of her and whispered, “I really don't want to be here. I had an auntie die from an abortion.” “Oh my!” Danielle stopped and picked up one of our rubber fetal models as she came inside the van. She said, “Oh, I don't know if I can do this.” “Do you have an appointment for an abortion?” I asked . “Yes,” she replied. “I don't know if I can do it." “You don't have to do it; that's why we are here.” Her cousin spoke up and asked, “You know what happened to auntie?” I asked her , “Why did you bring her knowing your favorite aunt died from an abortion?” She replied, “Cause she had no one to drive her.” I went over the risks and complications as I began to scan as well as how many lawsuits we have personally helped butchered women file against this mill. She had tears in her eyes and we could hear a commotion outside the ultrasound van.

Then, there it was: an approx 15 week old baby auditioning for its life on the screen. "Oh look, there's a hand!" Danielle exclaimed. "Oh Lord, I don't think I can do it!" I asked if she had other children. "Yes, five,” she replied. I then shared how many we have. “For real?” both women questioned. “Yes ma'am. ” I pointed to their pictures inside the van. "Oh my, they're beautiful." There was m ore noise outside the van. "Danielle, the circumstances are not the baby’s fault. What is your biggest problem now?" She shared, and we jumped on it. We listened to heartbeats, and she asked if we could tell the sex. We peeked, and the baby appeared to be a boy. "Oh, call my husband.” Her cousin dialed, but there was no answer. She asked how we manage with our large brood. I responded, "I couldn’t do anything without the Lord. He provides and answers prayers.” Although she kept murmuring, "I'm not going to do it,” there was doubt in her voice. Her cousin said, "You better be sure, cause I'm not coming back here." "Please, encourage her to keep the baby."

I went over resources, and then Daniel came inside to warn us the area was swarming with police, FBI, and dogs as a bank nearby was just robbed. This is the devil’s playground; we see everything out here. Danielle hugged me, took our literature, and announced that she was still going inside to see what they had to say. With sweat on my brow, I sternly told her, "Don’t let them talk you into something you will regret." "No, I just want to hear what they have to say." "The only thing they can help you with is scissors or suction." Her cousin then shared her auntie’s name and the facility that killed her. I told her to remind Danielle, and disheartened, we watched them walk across the parking lot.

We no sooner cleaned up when I stepped out onto the sidewalk to see the action. Another abortion client pulled in front of us, and we stepped up and began softly asking her, "Can we help you?" She looked at the signs and had tears in her eyes. She took my hand and said, "I don’t think I can do it." Wow! I calmly answered, "You don’t have to do it, and we can help." We brought her inside the van as her husband sat in the car. She asked if he could come in, and my assistant went to get him. I asked preliminaries as she sat back. She said, "Those signs, they're horrible, but that’s what it will look like?" "Yes, those signs are horrible, but they are the truth."

As her husband came inside, I quickly scanned. There on the screen was an approx 11 week old baby begging for her life. She was jumping and struggling inside the ocean that surrounded her. "Emily" explained her situation. "Why do you feel like you have to go in there and kill this baby?” She shared that she was having problems with her husband, but they were reconcilable. In addition, living with her grandmother was not the greatest. I told her, "Everything you just mentioned does not validate taking another human being's life. All these things are fixable." She was gently crying; both were looking in awe of their precious baby. Then Emily exclaimed, "Look, the baby is jumping!" I asked her, "Are you feeling that?" She replied, "Yes, but I thought it was gas all this time.” "No, that’s your baby telling you she is in here." Emily then said, "That is what I have been feeling.” W e listened to the heartbeats, 160 per minute; sounded like a girl.

Suddenly, what looked like despair turned into hope. I even brought up the option of adoption and shared our personal experience of rescuing and adopting babies into our family. They concentrated on the picture boards of the many babies we have saved and mothers we have helped. They asked about the photo of the post abortive woman who collapsed behind the mill, hemorrhaging after her abortion. No one knew she was lying there in a pool of blood until we found her. We called EMS and literally saved her. Wow! We went over with Emily and her husband resources that we could help with and physician follow-up. They promised to keep in contact. We blessed them with some food money and received hugs from both. Thank you Lord!

The swarm of law enforcement had diminished, but the abortion mill lot was full. We were catching our breaths when there was another knock on our ultrasound van door. "Angela, this young lady needs your help.” "Hello, I'm Angela,” and I introduced our assistant this day as she came in and shared, "Torry told us she didn't really want to go in the clinic." “Well, praise God! That is why we are here.” We set her up for an ultrasound. There on the screen appeared an early pregnancy, approx 4 weeks. "You don’t have to go in there.” We went over our resources for her and her child and suggested another follow-up scan and physician visit. She accepted our literature and was so grateful we were there.

I can't tell you how gratifying it feels to be a "Window to the Womb.” Our assistant this day was “privileged” to see and experience lives scheduled to die be saved from the jaws of death through the use of ultrasound and real people who care.

Deeeep breath…the best part as we were dragging our van wheels leaving this evening, was Danielle and her cousin coming back out and yelling over to us in the van, “She ain't going through with it. She's keeping the baby!”

“Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For indeed, that's all who ever have.” -M. Mead

SUPER BOWL AD SAVES BABY...

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 01:49:30 GMT

The best comment came at 4am

February 6, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

Around 4:00 a.m., only hours after the Super Bowl, our phone rang. Thinking it was one of our older children, dread came into our thoughts…Daniel answered it. On the other line was a young girl, “Kelsey.” Her voice was a little startled as she explained she and her friend thought they would only get an answering machine in the wee hours of morning, but instead got a live person. She began tearfully explaining she is a college student who came home to watch the Super Bowl with her family. She saw our ad in St. Louis , Missouri . She said, “I am 12 weeks pregnant. I was planning on getting an abortion on Tuesday. But after seeing your commercial, I can't do it. I will have to tell my parents, but I can't kill my baby. I wanted to let you know how effective your commercial was.”

We asked how she got our phone number. She said that after viewing the commercial, she went to our ministry website; she was so touched she wanted to contact us and thank us for “letting people know the truth about abortion.”

Yes, images of little dismembered boys and girls are disturbing…it's horrible. These ads should disturb us all into action so that we never allow this to happen to another child. If these ads save one baby from ending up like those babies in those tragic pictures – by touching hearts and changing lives – it is all worth it! Listen, anyone with half a brain knows it's important to rein in spending, control the borders, support Israel , and have a strong military. The important question…the essential question…is this: “Should God continue to bless this nation when we murder His children?” Our crusade to stop the slaughter of babies is also a crusade for the very soul and survival of America .

Small Victories Knows No Boundaries

February 8, 2012

"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58

We received the following message this week from a dear friend and ministry leader. It falls on the heels of the Super Bowl baby that was saved due to our Super Bowl ads.

Whenever we receive confirmation that babies are being saved as a result of our efforts, we know that our work is not in vain. On the contrary, it empowers us to go out and save more, to do more. Our crusade to end child killing reaches across state lines as we battle not only for the precious lives of babies, but for the very soul and survival of our nation. ~Angela

All names have been changed for confidentiality

“Hi Daniel and Angela,
I just received this Facebook message from a student who attended a youth conference last year in Dallas. I am so happy to share it with y'all!

Connie,
I coincidently attended the last youth conference ya'll did in Dallas this past November. I say "coincidently" because I did not plan on attending, and although I have been at previous conventions, I was out of church for a portion of about 2 months, in which this conference happened to fall. I was driving by the church on what I think was a Friday night and saw the parking lot was full. I pulled in, wondering what was going on, and stumbled in a little late. When I heard it was you and your husband speaking, I paid the entrance fee and participated in the rest of the convention.

During a small segment, you spoke on abortion in effort to take up an offering for a woman in another city that camped outside an abortion clinic as a last effort to prevent pregnant mothers from killing their babies. Being raised in an Assemblies of God church, I have always been against abortion completely, but did not connect on a personal level, although I did enjoy the information that you presented.

I became aware in January that I was pregnant and, to say the least, I was terrified. When I notified the baby's father that I was pregnant he was silent for two days, and then confronted me with a "case" of "how much easier it would be" if this "hadn't happened." I continued to ask him what he meant, and he asked if I had thought about "getting rid of it." I contemplated on the pros and cons he had presented to me and..to my surprise.. I weighed it out in my mind. I am ashamed to say I even CONSIDERED abortion for ONE moment.

I believe God was giving me wisdom in the situation, although I'm not sure I would have chosen to abort my baby even if I thought it was what was "easiest". But I wanted you to know that one of the first things that came to mind in this time of thought was the slideshow that was shown at the youth conference portraying several babies that would have otherwise been aborted.

I just wanted to thank you, and the woman in the presentation for standing up for something that is so relevant in today's society, although people may think it is not such a big issue. I think some Christians assume that because of their beliefs they would automatically make the right decision in such a circumstance, although they would "probably never" be faced with that circumstance in the first place. However, I have learned from this situation that even "Christians" cannot be sure about what they "would or would not" choose until the situation itself is presented to them.

I took a stand to keep my baby and I am progressing in a healthy pregnancy, thus far. Of course, the decision I made effected the father's "point of view" , and as of today he has chosen not to be in the baby's life. However, I am so grateful that I did not choose to do something I would regret for the rest of my life. I believe a baby is a blessing, even out of wedlock, and I know God would not give me anything I couldn't handle, so I look forward to the life I have ahead in raising a heaven sent child, (with the help of God.)

I am sending thanks to you and the woman that was spoken about on that day. (My apologies for not remembering her name.)

Thank you both for playing a part in saving my baby's life.

In Christ,
Kristen Richards”

Whistleblower exposes infamous Southern Illinois abortion mill

January 14, 2012

Written by Angela Michael

15 ^th District Congressional candidate Angela Michael and her Small Victories ministry began blowing the whistle on the Hope Clinic back in 2003 for all of the lawsuits filed against them and their filthy conditions. Many women that Small Victories had talked with were plaintiffs in lawsuits and victims of botched abortions at the Southern Illinois abortion clinic. It was then that Small Victories complained to the Illinois Board of Health and demanded an investigation

Finally, in 2005, 2007, and 2010 Hope Clinic was inspected and many serious violations discovered. The violations in 2010 were more serious and numerous. Unfortunately, some of the reports were conveniently destroyed or missing from investigations. Since 2008, surgical abortions at Hope Clinic have dropped from a staggering high of over 13,000 per year to now less than 3500 per year. The sub-standard and negligent violations inside have led to the terminations of several employees in addition to many workers simply quitting their jobs.

The Hope Clinic is the Midwest ’s largest, late-term abortion provider, where legislation requiring parental consent is not being enforced and is currently being contested by the ACLU. This abortion mill has been the target of criminal investigations involving illegal drug usage as well as child rapists being arrested with the aid of Small Victories and their ministry’s daily detailed documentation.

Mrs. Michael has been shouting from the rooftops to the press and legislators for years about the disgusting, hazardous conditions inside the Hope Clinic for Women. Animal shelters and tattoo parlors are regulated and have better conditions than this so-called “safe” surgical center. “If this were a puppy mill it would have been shut-down in a matter of hours.”

Salvation Army marching toward abortion support?

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 07:22:45 GMT

Exceptions already approved in international position statement

Posted: December 17, 2011

This is the season of the year when Salvation Army volunteers are on the streets and outside stores ringing their bells to encourage donors to fill their red kettles with money for the poor. The longtime Christian organization provides food, shelter, elderly services, disaster relief, prisoner rehabilitation and many other forms of aid.

But it also has adopted a position statement that is a step toward abortion, and pro-life leaders are expressing alarm at what they see developing.

In its statement on abortion, the Salvation Army says: "A number of biblical and theological principles underpin The Salvation Army's position on abortion. …

Get "180," the DVD that shows how when confronted with the facts of abortion, people do a "180" turn to oppose the procedure.

"The Salvation Army believes in the sanctity of human life. Humankind was created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). All people – without exception – are of value to him, holding a special place in his creation (Psalm 8:5), irrespective of age, gender, race, religion, health or social status, or their potential for achievement."

But it also states, "A serious commitment to the protection and care of the unborn calls us to a commitment to the prevention of unwanted pregnancy through means such as access to reliable birth control, safety in relationships, and societal respect of women."

Specifically, it says the Salvation Army "believes that termination [abortion] can occur only when carrying the pregnancy further seriously threatens the life of the mother; or reliable diagnostic procedures have identified a fetal abnormality considered incompatible with survival for more than a very brief post natal period."

And it continues, "In addition, rape and incest are brutal acts of dominance violating women physically and emotionally. This situation represents a special case for the consideration of termination as the violation may be compounded by the continuation of the pregnancy."

Christian human rights activist Rebecca Kiessling, an attorney, speaker and author who defends rape victims and was conceived during the rape of her mother, was surprised.

"This [abortion] statement is one of the most disheartening things I’ve seen," she told WND.

She donates to Salvation Army and, as a mother of five, frequently shops at Salvation Army Thrift Stores.

"They are clearly trying to set forth a biblical standard. They say that God defends the weak and those who are marginalized and that He is a God of justice, but the Salvation Army has now marginalized children like me who were conceived in rape. In other words, they support the death penalty for innocents like me who were conceived out of violence. Yet the Bible says that a child should not be punished for the crimes of [his or her] father," said Kiessling.

"The Salvation Army is all about rescuing treasures and trading beauty for ashes with the used clothes and household items people donate to them, but they can't seem to do the same for rape victims and their children," Kiessling said.

Salvation Army Commissioner M. Christine MacMillan was contacted by WND and asked to respond to three questions: (1) Does the Salvation Army fund abortions in any way? (2) Does it lead women to abortionists in any way? (3) Why does it cite and link to the Guttmacher Institute, which is affiliated with the abortion chain Planned Parenthood?

She declined to answer, saying instead she might call back. She didn't.

Leticia Velasquez, a mother of three, including one child with Down syndrome, is an author and founder of Keep Infants with Down Syndrome or KIDS. She said, "The Salvation Army should re-consider their position on this critical issue, as it is not consistent with a pro-life stance.

"An abnormal prenatal diagnosis does not lower the God-given dignity of a baby. We believe that all human life is sacred from conception until natural death. If a baby is destined to live only within her mother's womb for a few brief moments or days afterward, then we must give that child the full span of life and not end her life by abortion."

Likewise, Stephen Phelan of Human Life International told WND, "The 'International Position Statement on Abortion' from the Salvation Army is seriously problematic, both for its interior contradictions and for the fact that it explicitly links itself with the Guttmacher Institute, which openly promotes unrestricted access to abortion around the world. Indeed, the organization is named after Alan Guttmacher, the abortionist who was a transformational president of Planned Parenthood and who was a tireless advocate for abortion."

Alveda King, director of African American Outreach at Priests for Life, expressed similar suspicion.

"Good organizations become 'infiltrated' by forces that promote abortion, the breakdown of marriage, sexual immorality, etc. They come as wolves in sheep's clothing and appear to be harmless and even helpful. Then they begin to reveal their true or basically untrue colors. This is sadly maybe what is happening to the Salvation Army. Not for sure, but maybe."

"So much of the Salvation Army statement is commendable, but parts of it read like it was written by the Guttmacher PR department to ease the conscience of those who are not yet in support of unrestricted abortion. These contradictions are irreconcilable," added Phelan, HLI's communications director. "The mere appearance of support from Salvation Army can be used by the huge international abortion cartels to justify their work."

"My first pastor was a Salvation Army officer. The Army has long been an uncompromisingly strong witness of Christian truth, but they have got it terribly wrong here," said Rev. Rob Schenck, a minister on Capitol Hill and chairman of the Committee on Church and Society for the Evangelical Church Alliance.

Schenck and his twin brother, Paul, now a Catholic priest, were targeted by the state of New York and the Clinton administration for defending unborn babies and their mothers outside abortion clinics and other public places, including places where President Clinton appeared. In 1996, the twin brothers and all pro-life demonstrators were vindicated by the U.S. Supreme Court when eight out of nine justices ruled in favor of Schenck v. the Pro-Choice Network of Western New York.

Wendy Wright, interim executive director of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, agreed with Schenck and HLI about the Salvation Army.

She said, "The Salvation Army has an admirable history of reaching the most outcast and shunned in society, the broken and destitute, the hardest of cases. This policy treats the most shunned and broken of unborn babies, the hard cases, and shuts them outside humanity's house. Simply put, it violates God’s commandment that 'thou shalt not murder.'"

"Not only is their position weak and unbiblical, but it's contrary to historic Christian moral instruction and to the good work of the Christian Holiness movement that is their heritage. This is an aberration that must be corrected immediately if the Army is to maintain its Christian integrity," said Schenck.

Wright said the Salvation Army's stance on abortion "denies the humanity of a child to say she can be killed because of the crime of her father. Or that deliberately taking a child's life is somehow better than allowing God room to work, to do a miracle, and to shower that child with love for as long as possible. Following the Salvation Army's counsel would mean that the only touch that some severely disabled babies would ever feel is not the loving arms of her mother, but the sharp blade of an abortionist."

Considering the Salvation Army ad and its good works in urban minority neighborhoods, Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-Life Union, said, "I'm very disturbed if they support abortion in any way, especially because I always give money to the bell ringers I see outside stores before Christmas. I find the whole thing rather disturbing because they are doing this in the name of Jesus Christ, Who came into the world under very difficult circumstances – as a poor and homeless baby.

"I have been working with a mom, a young black woman in Chicago, who had conjoined twin boys that shared a heart. People told her she should let them die because they wouldn't live long. Their mom is very strong in Christ, the boys lived 18 months and she said she would not have traded her time with them for anything."

Scissors, Suction, or Blunt Trauma

Children continue to be an endangered species, born and unborn.

November 16, 2011

Written by Angela Michael

We no sooner arrived home in the dark of night after our vigil outside the Midwest largest late term abortion mill, Hope Clinic in Granite City, when our daughter called us to mention a baby was missing from a family in Afton , Missouri .His name was Tyler Dasher and he was the same age as our youngest son, Isaac. Of course the news of the death or murder of a small child is always shocking and riveting, but, consider this; had that child been three months younger, it would have been perfectly acceptable as far as American society is concerned. You see, we have allowed murder in the womb for over 38 years inside abortion facilities; all the way up to 9 months, for any reason.

Reportedly, like a thief in the night this sleeping child was snatched from the security of his crib while his mother lay sleeping in the other room. When she awoke in the morning she discovered his disappearance and law enforcement soon lined the streets of this neighborhood. By the dusk of evening his tiny body was found less than a mile from his home, cradled underneath a pine tree in a small walking park; his blue blanket lay with him. Wailing could soon be heard from the crowds gathering outside this innocent child’s home. Yes, the medical examiner confirmed it was the missing little boy; he was dead. The lead investigator told reporters, “Only a monster could do this to a small child and leave him in that condition." He died violently.

BREAKING NEWS: Local media is now reporting that an arrest has been made early this morning. The mother of little Tyler has been charged with his murder. “ Shelby ” led authorities back to the crime scene and back to the tree where she disposed of his small beaten frame. In most murders investigators say the perpetrator is usually someone in the family or someone closest to the victim. But if you think about it, there’s another reason we should have suspected the mother; you see, we have allowed mothers to pick and choose which child is worthy of life… for decades. Noticeably, reporters behind the news desks were outraged when first reporting this missing child and finding his lifeless body. Now that a suspect, the child’s mother, has been arrested and named, their demeanor has gone apathetic. As if to say, “Oh well” just another day. In other news…

You see this is how we treat children in society; like garbage. This past September we reported the horrible deaths of two East St. Louis, Illinois children ages 4&5 at the hands of what was considered their greatest protector, their mother. But instead of a scalpel or suction tube, this mother used a shotgun to relieve herself of the responsibility of motherhood. Scissors Suction or Shotgun

It all goes to prove; when citizens allow bloodshed in the womb, we will reap it in the streets. Everyday babies are barbarically ripped apart inside abortion mills. They too die violently. Understand, we are not being insensitive of this terrible tragedy, but, the increase of violence on the streets, our homes, and our jobs, is a symptom of what is being sown in the womb. We have become a nation of savages. Life is cheap. No respect for life. That is why mothers and their accomplices don’t even blush at the sin of shedding innocent blood, or its ramifications. Child-killing has become so acceptable, it’s just another day. I’ve often repeated a saying, “When you make the monster, you have to live with that monster”. We have polluted our land with innocent blood for over 38 years, why should we be shocked when a mother decides to kill her baby outside of the womb? It’s just a different weapon, and location.

If this tragedy hasn’t broken your heart enough, as we close, breaking local news is reporting that two young children, ages 1 & 3, have been found wandering the streets of Granite City, Illinois in 40 degree temperatures with no clothes on. Parents are no where to be found. God help us!

Innocent children don’t stand a chance. This is the “monster” the chief investigator referred to. Who is most responsible for child killing? We need only look into the mirror.

Babies for Adoption

November 2011

Written by Angela Michael

Over this past fall weekend we did some fun family activities with our children. We were really enjoying ourselves watching the little ones discovering things and asking a million questions. As we picked the perfect pumpkins to carve for our harvest-fest, I looked into the beautiful faces of those little ones who almost didn’t make it because they were slated for abortion; but because there were people who cared, they are here today to enjoy life and be blessings to so many others.

We are turning a page of the calendar and going into the month of November. We would like to encourage you and others that November is also National Adoption month. Our ministry is actually working on our 42 ^nd adoption; A baby that was rescued and saved from the jaws of death. But, aside from adoption, there are also many babies and children sitting in the foster care system that would love to have a family to enjoy stability and the simple things in life.

We want, therefore, to encourage other pro-lifers to get into programs such as Big Brothers and Big Sisters or the foster care program in your area. Visit www.foster-adopt.org . Unfortunately, we have a drug and alcohol epidemic going on in our nation. The numbers are staggering. Since so many addicts and unable to be parents, their children become wards of the state. I ask you, as Christians, isn’t it our duty to be our brother’s keeper? Are these children not worthy of our love and time? Yes, we can make a difference in their lives, just like those babies being led to their slaughter at the abortion mill but, as prolifers, let’s not limit our dedication and passion for life only to unborn babies, but let’s also extend it to those who have made it past the abortion mill. Just a motivating thought. : )

Power corrupts the few, but weakness corrupts many

October 9, 2011

Written by Angela Michael

This town of approx 31,000 and dwindling is so full of evil and corruption that a book listing Granite City as one of the “Absolutely worst places to live in America (by Dave Gilmartin),” has been written detailing its deplorable cultural conditions. Concerning the local hospital (at the time, “St Elizabeth”) many years ago we exposed the relationship and collusion between this former Catholic place of healing and the abortion mill. The “Christian” organization actually retained the main abortionist as the hospital’s chief of obstetrics! We invoked the scriptures at a pro-life function to the former bishop, exposing the heresy: “You cannot serve two masters.” We requested that they do one of two things: Take Catholic off their hospital sign or get rid of the abortionist. They eventually chose the first option. Unfortunately, it appears the collusion and corruption between the abortion mill and the hospital has elevated. Instead of attacking the message…they attack the messenger.

IMAGINE… GRANITE CITY ’S GATEWAY REGIONAL HOSPITAL : “PRISTINE”?

I had to hold my laughter on that one. It was one of the many comments yelled at us by the CEO who informed us of how much he hated us and absolutely detested our ultrasound van. This occurred this past Tuesday afternoon as the midnight abortions were underway inside the slaughterhouse located less than 100 feet across from his pristine hospital.

It all started as the two of us, a 91 year old prayer veteran and I, stood on the edge of the main sidewalk in front of the abortion mill praying. We noticed this very tall male walk up to our ultrasound van. All of a sudden, he looked inside our van. “Excuse me, can I help you?” “Oh, I’m just checking to make sure you’re parked legally.” I asked, “And you are…?” “The CEO of this hospital,” he finished. “What business is it of yours?” I inquired. “Because I don’t want this eyesore parked in front of my hospital. I hate you, but I detest that thing!” he yelled pointing at the ultrasound van. “I can’t stand the sight of it in front of my beautiful hospital.” I replied, “Shame on you. That ‘thing’ has saved over 4000 babies, which has brought a lot of revenue into your hospital.”

He retorted that he had saved 3500 jobs inside the hospital. I corrected him, “No, you didn’t. God did. That stimulus package from the federal government saved those jobs.” That’s when his jaw hit the floor. He didn’t intimidate me, and I didn’t back down. “That’s (the abortion mill) the eyesore; that’s the blight that has brought all of the problems on this city. God is never going to bless that hospital or this city until the shedding of innocent blood stops.”

I showed him the pictures of the two saved babies we have personally adopted. “These babies were saved and born in your hospital. I brought money into your hospital. How dare you talk to us this way and have such disregard for that ultrasound van.” He replied that we were the problem in Granite City and that I have given Granite City a black eye. “The rest of the town feels this way too,” he pouted. He went on to say that he has tried everything to get rid of us.

I responded, “You do not own that street. The taxpayers paid for that street. There is so much corruption in this city. You and the mayor put your heads together, and you turned this street into four blocks of handicap parking. Really? Really, you need four blocks of handicap parking?”

This was just more confirmation of the collaborating between the mayor, the hospital, and the abortion mill including tactics of outrageously priced parking tickets by the local gestapo and kicking us off of the hospital parking lots. Understand, it takes busloads of imported foot soldiers to pray with us outside this slaughterhouse. Some drive over three hours to get here, and then hospital goons harass them and kick them off of their spacious parking lots. Yet, abortion staffers and abortion clients are allowed to park on the very same lots without tickets or being threatened. Why, if the hospital is not collaborating with this abortion mill?

Over the years, this hospital has done nothing to rid itself of the real problem in Granite City ; serial killer, Yogendra Shah, continues to be on staff at Gateway. “You have habitually covered up his botched abortions (aka medical complications),” I informed the CEO. “We have helped women that have been butchered by this abortionist and others inside Hope Clinic. You’ve given aid to the enemy, and yet you persecute us who save babies, save women, and help women file lawsuits against the abortion mill. You deliberately undermined us along with the corrupt officials in this town.” He mentioned that he and the mayor were working on another project. “I am not the problem. That,” I continued, pointing to the abortion mill, “is the problem. We stand for the truth and we show women the truth. You do everything to cover it up and try to destroy a ministry that is down here standing for righteousness and helping women in this deplorable town where there is no help. How dare you.”

As my confrontation with him was ending, a crack addict from across the street came from behind and began calling me all sorts of filthy labels. She asked how she was going to explain the graphic picture of Baby Malachi to her four year old son. I replied, “If you will quit screaming obscenities, I will try and talk. That sign is not bothering your child as much as it is bothering you. If that sign is so horrible, then why are you allowing it to happen just across the street from your house?”

Then, the belligerent death camp guard “Absalom,” aka James Lewis, joined the attack. I felt like a gladiator in the Coliseum. I had a trowel in one hand and the sword of the spirit in the other. I gave them the truth, and truth is the problem in Granite City . That’s why we are hated. “Mr. Lewis, I have done nothing but be polite to you in the five months that you have been employed here at this slaughterhouse. Today, you are showing me your true character.” He held both of his middle fingers up as he called me a M....F……B…. a racist B…. and he would take care of me if I was over in Missouri .

One woman was being attacked by all of these bullies! We still ended up having two saves throughout this contentious afternoon. A supposed pastor was sitting under a tree taking this all in. After the dust settled he walked over and said, “Well, thank you for coming today.” I noticed the earring in his ear. I replied, “I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you, too, for being here.”

I felt like a gladiator when I got into my life-saving ultrasound van and drove all the way back home. I kept asking God to touch their hearts, let them hear the cries of the innocent and wake the churches up from their slumber because the innocent blood is crying for justice.

The following Friday morning that same CEO was spotted parking on the relocated physicians’ parking lot and made his way to the front sidewalk of the abortion mill where he ran into Daniel who snapped his picture. Mr. Bethell asked why he was taking his picture. Daniel replied, “You were the man harassing my wife the other day.” It took the CEO a few moments to recollect. “Ah yes, that lovely creature,” he stated and continued his walk inside the hospital.

I think it says a lot when one woman can persevere no matter what the enemy throws her way. When you are being attacked on all fronts, you must be doing something right, or else you would not be a threat to Satan and his demons. “If I perish, I perish”.

This crumbling city can throw paint on buildings and create million dollar makeovers around city hall, but the blood of over 400,000 innocent babies fills their streets and washes up to the churches’ doors. It’s time to grow some guts and stand up to this tyranny in Granite City. Killing innocent babies is evil and the most heinous act in God’s eyes, and it’s time to say so and do something about cutting off Satan’s bloodline in this spiritually and economically starved city. Only then can God bless and turn around the City of Slaughter into a City of God . In Luke 19:41 , Jesus wept over the sin and corruption that devastated Jerusalem . The same is happening today in the City of Slaughter as He witnesses the havoc in our world and the injustice and inhumanity that sin brings about. God delivered the Israelites; He can deliver this city.

THE PAY TO PRAY SCAM

1 Timothy 6:7 “For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires……"

September 26th, 2011

After taking part in the 40 Days for Life prayer vigils for almost three years, we finally realize that it is ridiculous to make people pay $197.00 to be a part of the 40 Days for Life Campaign. Understand, we have been holding prayer vigils, and through the ultrasound van helping moms and saving babies for almost 20 years on a daily basis, just like a lot of other faithful pro-lifers across the United States. So, why would we pay money to pray outside of an abortion clinic?

Now don’t get me wrong. We went into this with the best intentions over three years ago with our first campaign. It’s always good to get a multitude of prayer warriors outside facilities where children are scheduled to die. However, charging money to do what our ministry has been doing for two decades for FREE sounds more like a scam. For, the only thing you get is access to the 40 Days main website and modules. That’s all. No shirts, no banners, no signs. We had to pay extra for all our materials, so another organization made money too.

The real reason for the “praying fee” appears to be, sadly, that David Bereit, the National Director for 40 Days for Life, needs to make a $94,000.00 salary, and that Shawn Carney, campaign director, can collect $20,000.00 at last report.

When I questioned Mr. Carney about this he said, “40 Days for Life spends $800.00 on each participant in the 40 Days for Life Campaign.” If you multiply 1,500 participants by $800.00 that's $1.2 million. In 2009, they only reported taking in $400,000.00. Something smells fishy.

Question: has the pro-life movement become a bottomless money pit? A modest salary would be okay, but $94,000.00 is ridiculous. If you need to charge people to cover your expenses, that's fine, but to make an outrageous salary like that is ludicrous.

That’s why if all abortion came to an end today, there would be pro-lifers jumping off their buildings as they would be losing their salaries, their social status, their titles, etc. Unfortunately, raising money has become the pro-life movement’s main objective; they have lost their focus. Instead of prevention, they are there to perpetuate it.

I really failed to see how being bombarded with 40 Days e-mails encouraging participation in webcast seminars on “how to raise more funds for your pregnancy centers” saves babies scheduled to die at the abortion facility. Most knowledgeable people have come to realize that abortion-bound women are bypassing pregnancy centers and going directly to abortion mills for help. This just reinforces how, sadly, pro-life organizations as such have lost their focus, and it’s all about making money.

Another instance is taking claim to closing abortions mills, which is a great thing, but let’s give credit where credit is due. God does indeed answer prayers, but there are other things that factor into the closing of a lot of child killing facilities, not just 40 Days. For instance, a lot of these abortion centers are losing federal funding and the struggling economy is also playing a part. Also, it’s not as easy to find abortionists anymore. Let’s face it: abortion is the red light district of medicine and that’s a stretch. Most real, reputable physicians don’t want to be associated with abortion or its industry. Thus, it’s harder to find skilled baby killers. Anytime we see another abortion clinic close it’s doors, it’s good; but to charge money to do what all Christians should be doing for those without a voice... well, that’s just plain wrong.

1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people eager for money have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”

BANNED IN GRANITE

“City of Slaughter ” latest ploy to silence the truth

Written by Angela Michael

September 2011

Isaiah 59:14 “So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance: Truth has stumbled into the streets and honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.”

There are three things that Granite City abhors: homeless people, couches on front porches, and pro-life activists; and all three have been banned from this deplorable town. That is how the gestapo and city officials deal with the issue of abortion. Rather than deal with the message, they attack the messenger. All three are treated as “undesirables”. For years now, many editorials have been written pointing out the war Granite City has declared upon freedom of speech and pro-lifers. These editorials have called for the city to address the real problem, that being the abortion industry in clear eyeshot of city hall. ( http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=41803 )

Over 400,000 babies have been slaughtered in this city since 1974. Many women have been butchered, some have died, and lawsuits have been filed. Far too many underage girls have been brought over state lines to “get rid of the evidence” from child rapists; underreporting is rampant. ( http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53013 ) Short of calling it a “drug cartel”, there seems to be a constant problem inside Hope Clinic with substance abuse, missing drugs, theft, and petty crimes by abortion mill staffers. Meanwhile, city officials have tried beautifying this blue-collar, gritty town with million dollar makeovers, but you can’t cover up a cancer and expect it to go away. How can God bless a city that allows the slaughter of thousands of innocent babies? Their blood cries out from the ground, Genesis 4:10.

Today as we pulled up to the crime scene outside the Midwest ’s largest, late-term baby dumping mill, we viewed three blocks of handicapped-only parking. The only entrance to the hospital on this side of the street already has ample handicapped parking spaces nearby. This means our vital ultrasound/pregnancy resource van (Small Victories-smallvictoriesusa.com) will have to find parking two blocks over from the slaughterhouse.

We had heard rumblings over the spring and even a month ago that half of our street in front of the abortion mill was sold to the hospital from the city through closed door negotiations. If one Granitonian would have been invited to that meeting and opposed, it would have been thwarted. Thus, half of 21 ^st street has been paved into a parking lot. Funny thing is the hospital employee lot just west of the mill is half bare. This is just the latest “ploy” to attempt to dissuade our lifesaving efforts and pregnancy resource outreach (Small Victories) to mothers and babies in need. Let’s face it: there is no free help or hope in Granite City . Unwelcomed in Granite City May 07

There is another hands-on-ministry, Jesus’ Place, a store front soup kitchen and worship center led by Pastor Larry. Through the years, he has struggled with funding and political persecution from city officials and police in order to be a refuge for the homeless and hungry who find themselves wandering in the City of Slaughter . They, too, are unwelcomed. Thus, Granite City deals with them by giving the homeless “river rides” or “wharf rides”. The Granite City gestapo beats them up, drives them over to the Mississippi Riverfront, and drops them off after removing their shoes and throwing them into the river, ultimately making it harder for the homeless to walk their way back to the City of Slaughter . So much for being our brother’s keeper.

This leads me to the third unwelcomed subject in Granite City : ratty porch couches. Personally, they are just part of the mosaic of Granite City , not much of a threat or dangerous. Enough said. The real blight is the abortion mill which draws all 50 states to its doors. It speaks volumes when a corrupt city can take public parking away from the only resource for pregnant women and their babies that are scheduled to die that day. We have been targeted by police. It tells others how powerful that ultrasound van and the ministry are when a city must ban them from the streets. Over 19 years of daily ministering and witnessing, the devil has tried everything to deter and get rid of us, but we were called for such a time as this. Whether we have a street or not, we will still be there, rescuing babies, saving lives, and making a difference in Granite City . Now I know how Michael Savage feels.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”

God will use this for His glory too.

Labor Day Parade 2011

September 5, 2011

Written by Angela Michael

It felt more like autumn as we set up our signs and banners along the prestigious parade route. The heat-wave was broken; God blessed us with much appreciated fall-like weather. It was beautiful. As the crowds began trickling onto the route, it appeared numbers were down a little, but moms and f.o.b.’s soon filled the spaces. The parade hadn’t even begun yet, and one irate, foul-mouthed young woman crossed the street and began verbally attacking us for being there. I told everyone, “Just ignore her.” A lone policeman stood in the distance watching. I told her to go back across the street. She did eventually after spewing her filth. We hadn’t even unfurled our message yet. Oh boy!

With a loud BOOM! the 31 ^st annual Granite City Labor Day parade began rolling down the street. The politicians and parade Grand Marshal came first, including Mayor Hagnauer who groaned as he came by. We no sooner took our strategic places, when one politician and his entourage came by us. From his car he yelled, “Go get ‘em Angela!” and flashed us a thumbs-up. I don’t need to mention names, but most of the politicians walked over to us, shook our hands, and told us they were with us. Some thanked us for standing this day. “You need to be here,” one said.

Thank God for our children. The scripture Psalms 127 came to mind, and they were a great blessing to us this day. They know how important getting the message out in this public forum is. Our signs were not the problem. The problem was the truth of what this deplorable city houses and allows to happen to innocent children. We held banners, one stating: “Stop Abortion in Granite City,” and signs depicting what happens to babies inside Hope Clinic only two blocks over from us. I held Baby Malachi and a ho-made sign around my neck stating: “ Granite City ’s Shame.”

The fire truck pulled in front of us trying to cover us up. Three jackbooted firemen folded their arms and used their broad bodies to block Angela. They began a tirade of cursing and telling us that their kids shouldn’t have to see this. Our son Hunter grabbed his big sign and came to his mother’s aid. He is over 6 feet tall and held the sign up over his head. “You can’t block the truth.” The firemen then surrounded Hunter, and one clenched his fist. They put their faces right in our son’s, and I yelled, “You put one hand on him and there will be a lawsuit.” They retreated and joined up with their group.

A steelworker woman yelled, “This is a children’s parade.” More pitiful looking floats came by. The children were told to turn their heads, but they could have cared less; the children were more interested in throwing candy or receiving it. It was the parents that were being convicted and spewing their hate, “F*** you’ all!”

The Granite City High band came by, and for once they didn’t attempt to block us because they knew our banners reached high over their trailer. One woman brought her children to view the graphic signs, telling them the truth of what the signs represented. These children didn’t seem to be terrified or negatively affected.

“That’s bull***! This is supposed to be a parade,” said a float-rider as two young girls sat next to her more focused on throwing their candy rather than on the signs we held. The children around us concentrated with glee on collecting the pieces of candy scattered about them; on the other hand, their parents were the ones infuriated at the graphic truth of what Granite City allows. More foul language filled the air as the parade continued. “That’s f******* beautiful!” commented another angry laborer as children stood nearby.

All of a sudden the Coors Light beer truck rolled by. One of our helpers questioned, “I thought this was a children’s parade?!” They were advertising alcohol in it. I looked over and replied, “Well, this is Granite City.” There wasn’t much in the procession this year except for a few photo-ops of steelworkers’ and spectators’ kids posing with a wooden rocking horse they assembled.

As the parade drew to a close, a local Granitonian came by. He thanked us for standing and said that he was proud of what we do. Every year he encourages his congregation to join us, yet they shrink back. “I ask them to come down to the abortion clinic and stand, and they shrink some more.” He went on to tell us, “Just this week I saw a young girl at McDonalds that told me she was going to get an abortion, but she saw you guys out in front of the clinic. One of you talked to her, and she decided not to do it.” We rejoiced, gave God the glory, and ended in a closing prayer.

I thank God for my quiver because we were not put to shame this day. The truth went forth; even the fire department could not drown it out. No matter the cost, we will continue to be faithful. We will not be quiet and passively exist while the slaughter of innocent children goes on just two blocks away. “What I have failed to do,” is why legalized abortion goes on. I commit to follow in the shadows of those who have gone before us overcoming injustice and oppression by their courage, sacrifice, and confrontation that it took to end slavery, segregation, and any holocaust. Through the Lord we have completed everything and then some that we have set out to do and set the bar a little higher.

Psalm 127:3-5 “Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.”

Scissors, Suction or Shotgun

September 3, 2011

Written by Angela Michael

This past week we listened to a shaken detective describe two children, a four year old little girl and a five year old little boy, murdered by a shot gun blast to each child’s head at the hands of their protector: their mother, Yokeia Smith, 25, of East St. Louis , IL . The only survivor was an eight year old boy who ran for his life. He described the crime scene as very graphic, and his officers “saw evil in that room and will never be the same.” ( http://www.fox2now.com/news/ktvi-east-st-louis-two-kids-killed-yokeia-smith-

The same crime scene can be drawn inside abortion mills, quite often referred to as “slaughterhouses”, where children are barbarically tortured and graphically dismembered. The detective went on to say “these children died brutal, horrific deaths”. Don’t aborted babies die the same way? He ended by saying, “they died a terror-filled, frightened death and these officers bear a heavy burden for what they saw, I hope people don’t forget, because these officers will never forget the evil they saw.” Here we go again. Don’t abortion bound babies feel the terror? Mind you, I don’t agree with child killing, but how can we continue to judge this mother and hold her accountable when our government has violated the Constitution by giving mothers the right to decide who gets to live and who gets to die? It’s crazy. We witness mothers doing the same thing with their family members and friends outside the abortion mill. “It’s her choice!” they scream at us. “We’re here as her support.” The same was said by Ms. Smith’s family members in front of television cameras. “We have to put our arms around Yokeia and her surviving child, we support Yokeia,” sounding as if the other two dead children didn’t matter anymore. Can we draw the parallel between abortion and child killing? It happens everyday inside abortion centers. When it comes right down to it, it’s just a matter of timing, and in Ms. Smith’s case it was just a later-term abortion, just like Casey Anthony. Anyway you view it, scissors, suction or shotgun; two more innocent children are dead, by those entrusted to their well-being and care. There is no respect for life inside the womb or outside the womb.

When you sow bloodshed in the womb, you will reap it in the streets, and that is exactly what we are seeing with the increasing violence in our homes and in our streets. Are we going to connect the dots or stay in denial? When will our church leaders rise up and stand against what is evil and call it what it is? This is not the will of God. And our professing leaders bear the responsibility to say so and preach and act against this evil. It is the most important crisis that we face in our day. It’s not the economy or the environment; it is the value we place on human life.

God showed us, his people, how he felt by shedding his own blood and giving his life for us. How can God bless a nation that continues to ignore the cries of over fifty-million children and counting whose blood is being shed? We must confess as our brother’s keepers we have failed, but we do not have to wallow in that failure.We must follow in the example of those brave souls who have gone before us to bring to an end any oppression and holocaust, and not worry about the loss of man’s praises or character assassinations. We must embrace courage and make sacrifices, and act on it, in order to restore full protection to the innocent child in the womb and out of the womb. Only then will the murders of innocent children end and respect for life return. It is an epic battle of good versus evil, and it is a battle that can be won.

“I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these; you did not do for me.” Matthew 25:45

Keep the Casket… Open

August 2011

History is repeating itself. Just as one hundred and fifty years ago our nation was torn apart over the issue of slavery, even so, today there is another great evil that divides the country…abortion. Back then, a whole race of Americans was viewed as inferior, less than human, chattel to be used at another’s whim and will; even so today, there is a group of Americans who are shamelessly treated as “things” to be owned, to be disposed of…unborn children.

The parallels continue: Back then, by a majority decision of 7-2 in the infamous Dred Scott case (which had it’s beginnings in St. Louis), the Supreme Court ruled against all those of African descent; even so, in 1973, by a majority of 7-2, the Supreme Court overturned the pro-life laws of all fifty states and declared that the humans in the womb were no better than slaves, living and dying at the discretion of another. Back then the compassionless cliché was, “Don’t want a slave? Don’t own one.” Today we say, “Don’t like abortion? Don’t have one.”

Sadly, it took a Civil War to bring the horrid institution of slavery to an end; a war fueled by the preaching of righteousness and the dissemination of the truth that “all” men are truly created equal. And today, another war is brewing and has begun as we and many stand in the gap, being witnesses of the atrocities, and proclaiming on the airwaves the reality of these horrid acts; and very soon we will have the opportunity to bring this message, this truth, into the living rooms of many.

This month is the 56 ^th anniversary of a brutal, unthinkable act. Emmett Till was a young African-American boy from Chicago who was violently murdered in Mississippi while on vacation. His funeral service was to be closed casket because his face was so disfigured, but his mother insisted the casket be opened so that the world could see what had happened to her son.

Over four days, thousands of people saw Emmett’s body. Many more African-Americans across the country, who might not have otherwise heard of the case, were shocked by the pictures of him. These pictures moved them in a way like nothing else had. Black preachers were demanding that “something be done in Mississippi now!”

Showing what’s in the casket is exactly what we do outside these abortion mills…and we are hated for it. Our message: If the truth of what happens to a person through abortion is so horrible, then why are we allowing it to happen?

At first, local whites as well as blacks were horrified by the crime. Newspapers and white officials reported that all “decent” people were disgusted with the murder and proclaimed that “justice would be done”. That same attitude from our leaders and churches needs to be embodied now. It needs to be preached from the pulpits and driven into the streets where battles are won. We have no more excuse for calling unborn children “non-human” today than our forefathers did for calling blacks “non-human” then.

Elie Wiesel, survivor of the holocaust, wrote: “What harms the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.”

In Emmett Till‘s mother, Mamie Bradley‘s words: “Two months ago I had a nice apartment in Chicago. I had a good job. I had a son. When something happened to the Negroes in the South, I said, ‘That’s their business, not mine.’ Now I know how wrong I was. The murder of my son has shown me that what happens to any of us, anywhere in the world, had better be the business of us all.”

We can no longer stand by and say, “It’s not our problem.” I ask you; are we not our brother’s keeper? If the horrible “seen” injustice done to Emmett Till moved a nation to action, should not the unspeakable violence done to the most vulnerable Americans--the children in the womb--move “us” to action?

“There must be a crisis of the conscience. Only after seeing abortion for what it really is will we understand the controversy and end this horrible injustice. We must never, never be silent on atrocities that we find disgusting to view.”

A Cry for Help

“Please Help Me! I Would Have Given Up Had Angela Not Been There.”
MOSAIC Pregnancy Center : just another cash cow

Written May 7, 2011
Revised August 14, 2011
Written by Angela Michael

UPDATE: We just received word tonight that Tiffany gave birth to a beautiful baby girl!

To whom this may concern:

My name is Tiffany. I am 5 months pregnant and have 4 precious children who have all been helped by Angela prior including this pregnancy. She has given me money for food out of her own pocket if needed on several occasions. She has provided me with clothes, diapers, food, etc. If it was not for Angela helping me, I would have given up by now. I have went to Mosaic pregnancy center several times and other Granite City agencies such as Catholic Charities and have not received anything due to lack of funds they told me. Over the last 5 years Angela has paid my electric bill when Catholic Charities turned me away. I know of several girls who have received help through Angela when they were turned away from other agencies. I am willing to testify to what I have written.

~Tiffany

Editor's note: It's mind boggling how many agencies reportedly receive over half a million of dollars in donations (according to the Guidestar 990 tax form listed under Metro-East Crisis Pregnancy Care centers, aka Mosaic) to help pregnant women and their babies and received $600,000.00 in government grants last year alone, but tell desperate and downtrodden girls that they don't have funding in order to help them. You understand why our sidewalk ministry of over 18 years has turned into the safety net outside this abortion mill catching hopeless pregnant girls who feel they have no other options than abortion. Why would a pregnancy center only offer ultrasounds to first trimester pregnant women who must meet their criteria and only offer them on Tuesdays , when abortion minded girls are pregnant in their second and third trimesters also? Unplanned pregnancies happen everyday of the week.

That is why Hope abortion mill is there with open arms (so to say) to help these frustrated and distraught abortion minded women. Hope Clinic is laughing all the way to the bank. Unfortunately, some pregnancy centers, just like churches, have lost their focus and main objective: that is to prevent and stop abortion. Rather, they have turned into financial ministries or growing churches and social networking. That is why our hands on ministry is there as the last lines of defense for both the mother and unborn child, and even other children already born. When the director of the Midwest ’s largest, late-term abortion mill refers to our ultrasound van as "special forces" and "relentless," you know we are on target with the devil. If a pregnancy center or agency makes it hard enough for these pregnant women, they will always turn to abortion as their answer. One has to ask, "Are we preventing abortion or perpetuating it?”

Beautiful Florida skies turned to threatening rain storms as we set out on a pilgrimage to the area where little two year old Caylee Anthony was entombed. It was not far from our hotel amazingly, and the jailhouse which housed her mother Casey Anthony was in proximity too. As we drove deeper into the secluded area off the Anthony’s subdivision, sprinkles started. Hannah joined me as we gazed at the makeshift shrine to honor this innocent little girl’s short life. Balloons, stuffed bears, and cute animals grazed the swap-like area. It was overwhelming to view so many tokens of love for this little one. And the heartfelt messages really drove it home. Only hours after the verdict of “not guilty” was declared, lightning struck the tree where her little body was tossed like a piece of garbage.

You could see the missing bark and messages written on the tree in Caylee’s honor. A huge marble and wooden cross bared her name. Another couple was taking pictures and admiring the stuffed animals and balloons. They too could not understand the injustice but appreciated the display of love by caring people across the continent as we viewed notes and cards from travelers as far as Germany and Ireland . Our little girl began asking, “Why mommy why?” She did not understand how a mommy could hurt her baby and leave her tiny body in a watery bug-infested grave. Nor could we, but as adults, we realize this happens everyday. This is the inhumane treatment of children. It begins in the womb and ends up out on the streets. Mother Teresa quoted “If we allow a mother to kill her own child how can we tell others not to kill?” We as a society have forced fed violence in the womb as a “choice” and yet we are shocked to see such inexcusable abuse and neglect of a two year old. The difference is only the location. Caylee was murdered and entombed in her mother’s trunk, and eventually dumped in a swamp-like grave.

Abortion mills torture and murder babies behind closed doors. They are delivered in a toilet to drown or have their necks broken or delivered in pieces. They are usually discarded like trash either in the sewers or landfills: that which is not sold for medical research or cosmetics or pharmaceuticals. Yes, it’s detestable what this little two year old endured. How can anyone harm a child? But we allow it everyday inside abortion mills. Can we make the connection? Or continue in denial? It really is true as they say in the real estate. “The location determines the value”. The same can be said of children, unfortunately. What really caught our attention was the big tree at the entrance of Caylee’s watery grave. A sign was posted to trespassers and someone had added to the warning stating “No dumping of innocent beautiful children!!!” It’s a shame that we cannot protect our children. And yet they are entitled to the same full protection as their mothers. It started sprinkling again, it was a sad place even with the festive colors of balloons and gift wrap; a child was dead, taken from this world far too soon and a baby killer at large. I held Hannah’s little hand a little tighter and as we turned to walk away she noticed my eyes full of tears, “It’s okay Mommy” she said. My eye caught a poster, which summed our wake for all the innocents “Justice Has Failed, But Judgment Remains”... I commented to a local woman visiting the sight, “Please, don’t ever let this community forget.” Maybe, just maybe, God can use this to open our hearts and minds to the senseless act of child-killing and connect the dots.

Proverbs 17:15 “Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent- the LORD detests them both”.

ABORTIONIST JAMES PENDERGRAFT FOUND “GUILTY”

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 06:29:54 GMT

Back alley abortions have not ended; they just cost more…

July 22, 2011

Written by Angela Michael

As fate would have it, our ministry assignment during Operation Rescue/Operation Save America’s National Event, along with our dear rescuers from Connecticut , was the very same Orlando chop shop that convicted felon James Pendergraft operated: Orlando Women’s Center. The Casey Anthony media-blitzed trial had just ended when Pendergraft’s began which coincided with OR/OSA’s annual event. SWEET! Of course this trial received no coverage as it involved the “A” word. Tsk tsk...

As some of us were outside exposing child-killing with our graphics, other rescuers and prayer warriors were inside the actual courtroom listening to the testimony. Pendergraft was in the news a while back for discrepancies inside his mills and has even been stripped of his medical license; yet, his big time bloody business went on. Pro-life witnesses couldn’t believe their ears with some of the cross-examination and lawyers referring to “babies” and fetal ages. Mr. Pendergraft could only ask to review reports which wasted more courtroom time, and at several junctures ticked the judge off. “No protocol,” was Pendergraft’s response to several questions from prosecutors. He didn’t even make sense with his answers. The abortionist just ran his mouth in circles. The judge in one instance just screamed, “Just answer the question, yes or no!”

The trial focused on an abortion obtained by Carol Howard at Pendergraft’s Orlando Women’s Center. She was given RU486 by a medical assistant when it should never have been given to her. The drug is meant to end early pregnancies, typically 4-7 weeks. Howard was 22.3 weeks along. After that, every two hours she was given exceedingly high doses of Cyotec which irritates the cervix causing bleeding and facilitates dilation; according to Howard’s attorney, the Cyotec exceeded the standard dosage 50 times. This caused spontaneous labor to happen right away, and when Ms. Howard asked for pain medication she was told by medical assistants to go walk her labor off outside in the parking lot, and if she didn’t like it she could leave. During this entire time, no doctor was present. This violated the abortion industry’s NAF guidelines and Florida State Law which states that a doctor must be present for the abortion and cannot leave the premises. Nurses were not present either, just medical assistants. This is the same parking lot we stood feet from with the help from an adjacent chiropractor’s office who allows pro-lifers to stand and sidewalk counsel abortion-bound women quietly as they walk their labors out behind the bungalow-looking slaughterhouse.

Ms. Howard did leave and went home. She lay on the floor doubling over in labor before calling 911. She was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital where she delivered her baby. This baby survived the abortion, otherwise known as a “botched abortion”. This little girl suffered severe lifetime disabilities from this horrific abortion; her name is Jordan . This truly was a crime against humanity.

The jury saw through the lies, and when the first judgment of approximately $19 million was handed out on July 21 ^st , the final juror to okay the decision emphatically stated, “Absolutely!” With punitive damages added, it ended up being over $36 million awarded! PTL! The jurors were also able to listen to Pendergraft’s accomplice in crime, abortionist Randall Whitney’s deposition where he cavalierly stated that, “Yes, babies are delivered in the toilet all the time and many times are still alive, wiggling around in the toilet.” What he didn’t say is that he would pick them up out of the toilet and do what the law tells him to do: do everything you can to help save the life of the viable child.

During the closing arguments to the jury, Carol Howard’s attorney was sharp and right to the point when she stated, “He (Pendergraft) has an abortion dynasty around the state of Florida . He only cares about money, and I say hit him where it hurts!” And hit him where it hurts is what happened: $36,737,660.16. SWEET!

I never thought our t-shirt stating: “Picture abortionists on trial” would come true, but slowly and surely, it is. The media won’t print a word, which shows how much they care about women and so-called healthcare...THEY DON’T. We have butchers setting up chop shops across our nation, unsafe and unregulated, and the pro-aborts shaking their wire hangers in our faces screaming, “No more!” But the only way the public is made aware of shoddy cutlery habits and substandard conditions inside abortion mills is through the watchmen on the walls. Where’s the outcry? If this were a puppy mill operating under the same “gulag” standards it would be shut down in a matter of minutes. Nowadays, it seems with so many lawsuits filed against abortionists for malpractice and negligence, and in some cases wrongful death, a coat hanger might be safer.

“The abortion clinics never accept any responsibility for complications. They just say it was not their fault. The concern is not the patient at this time. The concern is with taking care of the doctor and keeping his reputation and the clinic’s [reputation] clean.” ~Carol Everett, former abortion clinic director

Children are Disposable… Inside and Outside of the Womb

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 06:24:37 GMT

Unbelievable! Stunned! Casey Anthony found Not Guilty in the premeditated murder of her toddler.

July 5, 2011

Written By: Angela Michael

The Casey Anthonys of our world do this everyday inside abortion mills…are they any less guilty than she? This is the way society feels about children, born or unborn. If a woman can decide her child’s fate in the womb, she has full legal protection to decide it out of the womb, as the Casey Anthony trial has proven. The prosecution did an excellent job during the trial, and closing arguments were riveting. When the public was polled on her fate, most, if not all, responded guilty, and yet a group of her peers decided in ten hours that she did nothing wrong except tell some lies and was less than truthful to investigators.. Not even aggravated child abuse was she found guilty of. This just proves what we, the Church of Jesus Christ, have been witnessing and saying; we are a savage nation; we have been sowing bloodshed in the womb and reaping it in the streets. So, why wouldn’t a jury find her guilty of murdering her child when throughout the trial so much evidence said differently; i.e.. the smell of a dead body in the car as reported by her own mother to police; Caylee was missing for over 30 days while her mother Casey was documented partying and getting tattoos celebrating her beautiful life and freedom; her narcissistic attitude; chloroform searches on the computer while her mother was at work; lie after lie; and no accountability. Caylee was an inconvenience just like most babies scheduled to die at the local abortion facilities, they are unwanted. This is how society and their parent view them. Abortion is so acceptable why would manslaughter be any less?

Today, there is no justice for children, inside or outside of the womb. There was no justice for little Caylee Marie. Yes, our government and our nation has the biggest police forces and our courts have the best legal system, and yet they cannot protect or bring justice to those weakest among us...children and babies. Our nation’s hands are so full of innocent blood that apathy and complacency has taken over and righteousness stands at a distance. There is no accountability for the murderers who walk among us. The only commandment this nation can seem to keep is "Don't Judge," but Jesus said in John 7:24, “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." Understand, Caylee didn’t die a natural death, just like preborn babies at our abortion mills. She, like they, was murdered at the hands of the one most entrusted to her care and welfare, her mother. Outrage is pouring into the streets of Orlando, some saying, “we don’t want murderers walking our streets!" Good, maybe people will become so incensed that they will connect the dots between Abortion and Manslaughter. 2 Chronicles 19:6-7 "Consider carefully what you do because you are not judging for man but for the Lord, who is with you whenever you give a verdict. Judge carefully, for with the Lord our God, there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.”

“A society is ultimately judged by how it treats its’ weakest and most vulnerable members”

St. Louis Pridefest 2011

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 06:21:52 GMT

“It’s Here, It’s Everywhere”

June 26, 2011
Written by Angela Michael

Diversity or Perversity?

Threatening skies soon cleared to hot, muggy sunshine in Tower Grove Park as the revelers’ numbers swelled during this two-day St. Louis Pridefest. An estimated 85,000 (give or take a thousand) attended this year’s event. The crowds did seem larger, more festive, and fuller with young children and teens. Saturday’s commitment ceremony packed participants in as gay rights were being unleashed in New York City with the legalization of gay marriage this past week. Many gay rights supporters were celebrating this decision by attending the St. Louis Pridefest for the first time.

Notably, there were more people for Sunday’s parade. We were squished along the parade route like sardines. Once the parade started, each entry as it passed by stopped to scream at spectators to show their support loudly. “It’s okay to come out!” It sounded more like they were recruiting as they paraded their sex-style. Yes, evidently that is what the Pridefest is about: Sex. Everything we viewed was sexually charged, even the entries’ taunts. The Barnes Jewish healthcare marchers, “We’re here, we’re queer. Have you had your pap-smear?” The gay and lesbian police officers drew loud applause. Would I really trust a gay police officer trying to tackle a bad guy if they were attracted to them? Is it duty first? Or booty first? Things to ponder...

Participants along the parade route could be heard yelling, “It’s going to be legal everywhere soon,” which fits right into this year’s Pridefest theme: “It’s Here, It’s Everywhere.” More and more Black Americans were either viewing the parade or in the parade with young children. The youth group’s numbers were riveting. Young children, five, six, and seven years of age were marching with gay statements on their signs and shirts including, “Gay by God.” Do they understand? It was heartbreaking to see white lesbians or white aging gay men cradling adopted Black babies. The Black American race is done; you might as well stick a fork in them. Between violence in the streets, violence in the womb (abortion), disease, and now the rapid rise in homosexuality, the Black race is self destructing. They don’t stand a chance.

Some of the sponsors were Macy’s, Lumiere Place & River City casinos, ID Lubricant, Absolut Vodka, Malibu Rum, MasterCard, MetLife, Plaza Motors, and Wells Fargo to name a few. There was an increase of churches in the parade. It was nauseating to view the display of pastors dressed in their finery giving God’s approval of this debauchery, but this is why we have Pridefests breaking out across the nation. If there is anyone to point a finger at it is the American Church and the silence and inaction within them. Church groups included the Catholic Action Network for Social Justice (they also support abortion), the Trinity Episcopal Church, the Jewish Communities (Shalom!), the Second Presbyterian Church CWE, the Metropolitan Community Church, and Light of Love Fellowship, to name a few.

It wouldn’t be a Pridefest without the baby killers. NARAL, led by infamous Jeff Farris and Planned Parenthood (another adversary of ours), strutted their stuff waving the same rhetoric signs. Surprisingly, it was mostly Black Americans walking for this organization that was founded by a white racist and eugenicist, Margaret Sanger. She called Black Americans, “human weeds,” half human. Nothing made her foundation happier than the destruction of Black babies, and here they are supporting the same organization that wants to see Black babies dead. When it comes to abortion they tell us to mind our own business, and of course they expect you, the taxpayer, to keep paying for that business!

This parade was long and spaced too far apart. The sun was bearing down on us; it was hot. Yet what took our breath away were the topless lesbians. I think they were with a burlesques group, only they were walking after the float...topless for all to see. I surmise they did this for shock value because it did wake me up. It caused the mother to come out of me; I almost shouted for them to put some clothes on for goodness’ sake. They did this in front of thousands of little kids. However, I refrained and thought, “Look where you’re at.” Well, praise God, at least they were not “busty”.

The crowds were louder and more rowdy. The growing group once referred to as Militant Teen Gays and Lesbians now goes by their growing number. Last year they were 300; this year the Growing American Youth was approximately 404 and they mouthed and yelled the number to spectators. It’s startling. One polished-looking male standing a few bodies beside me offered an alcohol soaked gummy worm, “They’re really good,” he smiled. I shook my head, “No.” “Sure?” he asked. “I’m sure,” and I kept my eyes straight ahead. The “Old Lesbians Organizing Change” entry drove by, sadly. They ridiculed Catholic nuns with their rendition of white-faced “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.” Another float with gay men dressed in army fatigues and sailor uniforms mimicking the armed forces yelled at the spectators, “We’re winning, we’re infiltrating!”

All children love ice cream and gravitate to the familiar ring of the truck’s bells during summer. It was shameful to see greased up near naked men hanging off an ice cream truck asking the crowds if they, “want to lick their cone?” Pedophilia anyone? On back of the truck hung a sign: “We Stop for Children.” “I bet you do,” I thought.

The parade finally ended, and we headed into the entrance of the park. The grounds were still muddy and saturated from the late night storms that came through. The big stage was at the end of the park where the entertainment and drag queen reviews would be held. Once inside the park where the booths and vendors are located, we were bombarded with offers of free porn. “All you want,” one male offered me along the walking track. “Fasting,” I mumbled back and continued on the chasms of gay pride memorabilia, Pridefest gear, and the usual sign-up sheets for gay rights equality. As we passed each booth through the throngs of bodies, the vulgarities were flying freely. Just God-less. Homosexuals have become their own god. The private school information caught my attention. Gays now have the choice to send their children to an academy school taught by homosexuals from grades K-8 ^th . Between the immorality and filth that the media is pumping into the family TV sets and the indoctrination of our children by the school system and Planned Parenthood, is it any wonder why we are dealing with so much rebellion from the youth? Satan is stealing our kids and our families; the very moral fabric of our nation is in jeopardy. This debacle is just another form of rebellion, and it’s flying in God’s face.

What was missing from this event was the city’s mayor, the honorable Francis Slay. In years’ past we have been fortunate to walk out into the parade and personally rebuke his presentation in this abomination. Now we have barricades. Maybe God kept him busy helping flood victims from St. Louis ’s recent storms. And that’s a good thing.

What stayed with me was the fitting touch to this celebration. Towards the end of the parade, there was a new entry. I don’t know if others made the connection, probably not, but it was a black hearse full of rainbow colored balloons. “How appropriate,” I mused. Sin leads you to an eternal death. “All those who hate God love death.” Proverbs 8:36. Furthermore, I thought about Ryan. He probably would be here celebrating, but it’s too late for him now. “The wages of sin is death.” I pray for others to wake up before it’s too late.

Susan G. Komen St. Louis Race for the Cure 2011

Race to Discover the Cause Instead of Waiting for a Cure

June 11, 2011
Written by Angela Michael

This year’s 13 ^th annual Susan Komen Race for the Cure was met with thunderous storms as organizers repeatedly had to do damage control and reset booths while attempting to set up in the wee hours of the morning. Sizzling temperatures from this past week were extinguished with a cold front that came through overnight including storms that put a damper on things. Some of the participants didn’t care for a few of the more risqué slogan tee-shirts participants were sporting either, i.e. “Save Our Ta-Ta’s,” “Walking to Save 2 ^nd Base,” and “Operation Healthy Hooters,” to name a few. One breast cancer survivor commented that she thought some people take it a little over the edge, “If you go through it, you soon realize it’s not just about your breasts, but your life.” But the organizers were happy that they got over 64,000 registered participants (though numbers were down) and made a little over $3 million on this year’s extravaganza.

Under the Gateway to the West Arch, St. Louis was again a sea of pink. We couldn’t help but feel empathy and hope for the many faces and generations walking, running, or supporting this cause. For some, the devastation this disease brings was obvious. Over 4,905 breast cancer survivors joined the survivor’s walk. It grabbed our heart strings. “Fight Like a Girl.” Some survivors sported boxing gloves as they marched. Touching! That is why our ministry continues to bring the truth of ALL the risks and preventable causes to this race. We love women. We want to empower women with all their risk factors. We even have family members who run in the race. Yet, something was different this year; it was not just our ministry asking the question: “Why aren’t we racing to find a cause?” but others were as well. And the first step would be to tell women of ALL the preventable risks of breast cancer.

The Susan Komen Foundation does a lot of good, but they are not doing all that they can. Komen is selectively telling the truth. They are not giving women information on all of the risks of breast cancer. Why? Because most of the Susan Komen Foundations are giving funds to Planned Parenthood. They are not telling women that one of the most preventable risks is elective abortion.

Studies suggest that an induced abortion causes biological changes to occur in a woman's breasts which make her more susceptible to breast cancer. At the moment of conception, a woman’s estrogen levels elevate. With an induced abortion/miscarriage, those hormones go haywire in a woman’s breast. These abnormal cells lie in wait. www.abortionbreastcancer.com

In 2009 Komen officials admitted providing funds through grants to Planned Parenthood; from 2004-2009 over $3.3 million alone went to the abortion business. These grants were designated for breast health services, but a recent undercover sting operation via Live Action proved Planned Parenthood does not offer mammograms or breast health services. Good- hearted donors think their funds are going to help fight breast cancer where those services are not offered; in addition, the largest abortion provider in the country cannot guarantee the money is NOT going to go for abortion services. In Planned Parenthood’s annual report in 2007-2008, they reported 31,729 fewer breast exams and 15,560 more abortions. Who is policing how the donations are spent?

Women have the right to know that 28 out of 37 worldwide studies have independently linked induced abortion with breast cancer. Thirteen out of fifteen studies conducted on American women report increased risk. Seventeen studies are statistically significant, sixteen of which found increased risk. Most of the studies have been conducted by abortion supporters. The first study was published in an English publication in 1957 and focused on Japanese women. It showed a 2.6 relative risk or 160% increased risk of breast cancer among women who'd had an induced abortion.

Vital information that surfaced in the early 1980's was deliberately withheld from women by the American Cancer Institute. Breast cancer was unheard of in the 1930's. What has been introduced to society that now has breast cancer at epidemic proportions? Elective abortion, and the numbers are soaring and victims are becoming younger and younger; many have no history of breast cancer in their families. It is so ironic that an organization supposedly caring for women is responsible for thousands of their deaths annually due to the proven link between elective abortion and breast cancer, ie: Fred Hutchinson (Cancer Research Center)/Joel Brind Ph.D/Dr. Janet Daling.

Why wouldn’t we want women to know this vital information? Because the incidents of breast cancer might just go down by preventing a proven cause. We can’t leave out the money pit. The Susan G. Komen foundation has raised a lot of money and a lot of that money is going towards and funding the very same risk factor: ABORTION . They give money to Planned Parenthood. If the truth were known, they may lose some of that funding, and making money is what it’s all about.

“There's a lot of money that is being made off sick women,” says Karen Malec, President of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, adding: “We're finding a pattern among these cancer fund-raising organizations” showing that their leaders previously were associated with abortion-advocacy groups, beginning with the founder of Komen herself, Nancy Brinker who started this organization after she lost her 36 year old sister Susan to breast cancer. This Dallas based foundation awards grants for breast cancer research, treatment, and prevention. Race for the Cure started in 1983 and is now the largest fundraiser walk worldwide.

Remember, fight like a girl and go on. Let’s love women enough to tell them ALL the risks and preventative measures so we can fight this devastating disease on all fronts, until all women are cured. Jeremiah 30:17 “For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord.” Let’s race to discover the cause, instead of waiting for a cure. It makes more sense, and we may save more lives.

“Blessed indeed is the Man who hears many gentle voices call him father.” L. Childs

Father’s Day may not be as celebrated as Mother’s Day, but it holds the same sentiment and importance. Especially nowadays, it’s so important to thank those dads committed in raising their children and those who have gone before them.

Understand, anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad. A Dad wakes up in the middle of the night and helps change diapers, comforts a sick child, and protects them during the thunderstorm. A Dad always knows how to fix things, even if it was with duck-tape, several different colors of duck-tape. A Dad is brave and bold and has the strength of a mountain in times when we needed to lean on him. And, a Dad always has deep pockets; he always seems to find a way to provide for his family, and sometimes for others.

Let’s face it, Parenthood is a gamble Dad; you never know how far you’re going to be driven out of your mind. The average Dad has probably thought twice about running away from home, once as a child and once as a husband…thanks for hanging in there.

So, thank you Dad, for having the wisdom of ages and not looking like it. Thanks especially for loving your wife, the mother of your children. Your caring, virtuous, moral, tender guidance is, and always has been, a beacon that guides the family through the rough seas of this life. Children could not fair near as well without that loving guidance. And because you courageously took on the responsibility and chose to be a Dad, there is safe passage. “Money isn’t everything,” how true those words ring, Dad. As the saying goes, “A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when they are empty”. So, to all the Dads, and especially the Dad in our house, Happy Father’s Day!

Enjoy your day!

ABORTION, Unregulated, Unsafe, and Underreported

Illinois abortion facilities make former Iraqi torture rooms look like a “spa”.

June 17, 2011

Is anyone surprised? Fortunately, the Chicago Tribune wrote this investigative piece below that is a long time overdue. Now, are the Health Department and its regulators going to do their job protecting women by investigating these slaughterhouses? Our 19 year ministry has reported and documented this travesty for years outside the Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill: Hope Clinic , in Granite City, Illinois where no parental consent is necessary and they specialize in late-term terminations. How many women need to be brought butchered and maimed to emergency rooms where the ‘code of silence’ continues? Read through articles on our website confirming the reality that back alley abortion has not ended…it just costs more and the abortionist comes through the front door. The marquee outside the Hope abortion mill should read: “Kill Your Baby At Your Own Risk.” ~Angela Michael

State abortion records full of gaps

Thousands of procedures not reported to health department

By Megan Twohey , Tribune reporter

3:24 PM CDT, June 16, 2011

Health care providers are failing to detail abortion complications to the state as required by law, one of many gaps in a surveillance system viewed as crucial to protecting patients, a Tribune review has found.

The state's system for tracking abortions is so broken that regulators also may be missing more than 7,000 of the procedures per year.

The Illinois Department of Public Health must collect details about every abortion performed in the state, including whether the patient is injured or dies.

The mandatory reporting is essential for tracking trends in public health and can provide a window into quality of care. While abortion has proven to be a very safe procedure, heightened rates of complications or clusters of deaths could signal problems with particular providers.

"If people are looking at reports and seeing excessive complications, that might warrant another look or another inspection," said Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation, an association of providers.

But there are significant holes in state monitoring of a procedure that affects tens of thousands of Illinois women each year. Nationally, current rates suggest that nearly 1 in 3 women will have an abortion, according to research published in the medical journal Obstetrics & Gynecology.

The Tribune found:

•State regulators have documented between 7,000 and 17,000 fewer abortions a year than a national research group found in Illinois.

•This reporting is the only tool Illinois authorities have to monitor some abortion providers, yet regulators may be allowing doctors and clinics to operate off the books. Regulators collect reports from 26 providers, but the abortion rights research group has identified 37 providers doing business in the state.

•Also unknown to officials are the types of abortion-related problems experienced by women. Nearly 4,000 reports of abortion complications involving Illinois residents in 2009 were missing the required description.

•Health care providers who intentionally fail to submit accurate and complete reports are committing a criminal act, and a failure to report abortion complications is grounds for revoking their licenses, but the Department of Public Health has never sought disciplinary action against a provider.

Kelly Jakubek, an agency spokeswoman, said in a written response that it was the responsibility of abortion doctors to ensure they comply with the mandatory reporting requirement.

Regulators don't respond to the reports in any way, she said, because they view the information as serving statistical purposes only.

"It's outrageous," declared Maurice Stevenson, whose wife died in 2002 from infection following an abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Chicago. "These procedures, complications and deaths should be public record."

Critics contend that accurate government accounting is essential, especially with a politically charged issue such as abortion in which both sides push information to further their agendas.

A review of malpractice cases revealed other abortion-related complications in Illinois — with no way of knowing whether they were reported to the state.

For example, in 2002, after an area woman's uterus was torn in an abortion she began hemorrhaging, went into cardiac shock and was hospitalized for three weeks. Several years later, a mother of three experienced seizure symptoms and slipped into a coma following her abortion at a city clinic. And in 2009, a teenage girl suffered respiratory and cardiac arrest and died immediately following her abortion in a northern suburb, according to court records.

The state Legislature included mandatory reporting in the 1975 Illinois Abortion Law, a compilation of guidelines enacted after the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade.

Abortion providers succeeded in stripping away many of the law's other requirements, but a 1993 legal settlement between providers and the state retained mandatory reporting "to better protect the health of women undergoing these procedures."

Why does the information matter?

The confidential reports are "very important from both a demographic and public health viewpoint," according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which surveys abortion data collected by the states.

In addition to illuminating trends in unplanned pregnancies and documenting access to abortion, the reports have helped to reveal that certain procedures carry higher risks of complications and that dangers increase exponentially as the pregnancy progresses.

In Illinois, reporting also provides an opportunity to monitor all doctors who perform abortions. Not all abortion providers are licensed as such. The Department of Public Health has licensed 14 providers as ambulatory surgical treatment or pregnancy termination specialty centers.

But licensing is different in other settings where abortions are performed, including at clinics where surgeries account for less than 50 percent of their business and at private physicians offices.

It is unclear which providers are making reports.

The New York-based Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights research organization, conducts its own accounting across the country. Its information is widely viewed as more accurate than what is collected by state regulators because the organization makes extensive efforts to identify abortion doctors and follow up with them.

It was Guttmacher that located 37 providers in Illinois in 2008, and it is Guttmacher that has consistently counted thousands more abortions per year than the number recorded by state regulators.

A Tribune examination of the reporting data collected by the state revealed missing information.

Providers often did not specify, as required, whether a complication was a tear of the uterus or another specific problem.

In certain medical malpractice cases reviewed by the Tribune, women said they were never informed by their provider that the abortion was unsuccessful and later underwent challenging pregnancies, painful deliveries and other complications.

Others suffered anesthesia-related problems, hemorrhaging and infections, according to the suits.

The federal government also identified gaps in Illinois' abortion surveillance system, saying that more than 15 percent of reports in 2007 did not specify how far along pregnancies were and what type of procedure was used.

Jakubek said the numbers of abortion providers documented by Illinois regulators and Guttmacher are different because they use different counting methods. The research organization's tally includes hospitals, clinics and physicians' offices. Jakubek said the 26 providers identified by state regulators "only includes facilities," but declined to elaborate on her definition of facility.

The problem of underreporting isn't limited to abortion, said John Lumpkin, who left the Department of Public Health in 2003 after serving as director for 12 years. But the agency lacks the funds to address it, he said.

"Whether it's flu, food poisoning or pregnancy termination, we knew there was underreporting going on," said Lumpkin, who now directs the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Health Care Group. "The health department doesn't have the resources to follow up with every doctor's office that is reporting food poisoning or flu, nor did it have resources to follow up with every provider of pregnancy termination."

Stanley Henshaw, a Guttmacher researcher, has explored abortion reporting problems and "lax enforcement" across the country.

Some providers feared that reports would fall into the hands of anti-abortion protesters or competitors, even though breaches of confidentiality are rare.

Today, Henshaw theorizes it is the shoddiest operators who are not reporting the abortions they perform. Either they refuse to comply or are so off the radar they are unaware of the requirement.

"I think it's only a problem with the worst providers," said Henshaw, who has recommended audits of state abortion reports, a process that would involve verifying who all the providers are.

As safe as abortion is, dangerous providers do exist, made evident by the murder charges filed this year against a Philadelphia abortion doctor whom prosecutors accused of operating a "house of horrors."

Some providers identified by the Tribune refused to discuss reporting.

Others, such as Planned Parenthood and Family Planning Associates, said they were diligent about complying and concerned if others were not.

"It is useful public health information. … We'd hope all providers would comply," said Carole Brite, president of Planned Parenthood of Illinois.

At the same time, Planned Parenthood could not confirm for the Tribune whether it had reported the 2002 death of Stevenson's wife, only that it had reported the 2008 death of another patient. The organization said it had no reason to believe the 2002 death was not reported but that the records were in storage.

And Family Planning Associates said it could not confirm whether it had reported three deaths, in 1998, 1999 and 2000.

A woman who identified herself as a manager of the Women's Aid Clinic of Lincolnwood would not comment on a 2009 death.

The Tribune identified these deaths as part of its review of malpractice suits.

Providers are required to report all abortion-related deaths to the state, not just those in which the death was directly caused by abortion or those involving wrongdoing on the part of health care workers.

In states with more complete reporting, officials have taken active steps to identify providers and follow up with them.

In Minnesota, doctors are informed of the reporting requirement when they are licensed. And state officials send annual reminders to every physician and press those who submit incomplete forms, said Carol Hajicek of the Minnesota Department of Health, which sends a lengthy report on abortion data to the Legislature each year.

"We think we're getting them all," Hajicek said.

RYAN GOSKIE DEAD

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 05:51:16 GMT

Former Abortion Mill Director of Nurses

Granite City , Illinois
June 6, 2011
Written by Angela Michael

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

Ryan Goskie was only 25 years old. Daniel and I warned him and spoke to him this past Saturday morning as he walked inside Hope Clinic abortion mill. He worked here per diem after quitting his fulltime position this past fall killing babies inside this late-term abortion mill for the past 8 years. He gave us no reaction. Ryan started as a volunteer deathscort and worked his way up with the feministic guidance of former godless career baby-killers inside the Midwest ’s largest late-term abortion mill. Through the years we were kind to Ryan, but we still told him the truth in love. He repaid us by harassing our ultrasound van and summoning local police posing as meter maids to issue us outrageously priced parking tickets that we are still dealing with in the courts. He and Trish Wallis (another former abortion mill volunteer) would come to the Granite City parades to sit and watch the townsfolk, “Beat us up,” (as Ryan put it) when we asked him if he was there to help us. He pushed our young son to the ground when an ambulance pulled into the abortion mill garage to transport a butchered mother.

The obituary read that he died at a St. Louis area hospital where he sought medical treatment for gastrointestinal pain. I can’t help but think maybe it was his lifestyle that killed him. He appeared to be a misguided kid working at the local Weather Vane Ice Creme shoppe and volunteering at an abortion mill. He was flirting with the homosexual community as a deathscort. His obituary read that he left behind his partner Jason. After graduating from nursing school our worst fear was that he would train to replace the aging abortionist Yogendra Shah. Ryan helped kill babies inside Hope abortion mill and went as far as to boast on the internet that he personally trained residents at Washington University in St. Louis , Missouri on how to dismember babies in the womb. We don’t know how much truth is in that posting, but he enjoyed his time inside the abortion mill until we let the public know what he did in Granite City and asked for prayers. He soon quit this past November. Read “Director of Nurses Quits” Ecclesiastes 7:2 “…death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart.”

We noticed that the abortion mill was eerily quiet this past Tuesday, but attributed it to the heat wave we are currently experiencing. We now know it was because a fellow baby killer died, which hopefully will make those likeminded employees pause and rethink their position with the Lord and His laws. We never know when God will call us back. Whether we believe in God or not, every human being has an expiration date.

We noticed that there was no mention in the obituary that Ryan was a long time employee at Hope Clinic. Our prayer is that in Ryan’s final hours he came to know Jesus again and entered into full repentance for all the innocent blood his hands helped to shed. May God comfort his grieving family and have mercy on Ryan’s soul.

“Take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.”

II Chronicles 15:7

May 1, 2011

I don’t know about you, but I just relish this time of year and this special day. Mother’s Day is far too short, so enjoy it moms while you can. I never knew how important a mother was till I began raising a family. It was then that I appreciated the recognition and joys of being a mother: the ho-made gifts and smudged tokens of love; breakfast in bed with runny eggs and small clay pots where more dirt ended up in bed than with the seedlings. A picture of a bouquet of dandelions, though crudely drawn, reflects love overflowing from even the youngest heart and the world breathes a sigh of relief. Yes, goodness is growing. For some mothers this day may be one of heaviness and separation. Many have prodigals who have brought heartache and pain, but hang in there. Dwell on happier days and know there is hope. Children need love unconditionally, but they also require discipline. Broad shoulders and a bit of humor help. Whatever we write on the heart of a child never washes away. Some stories may perish, some songs are forgotten, but time does not change the engraved record in the heart of a child.

Happy is a mother’s heart when she can laugh at herself realizing the awful taste in her coffee is the baby’s formula she mistakenly poured as creamer due to sleep deprivation; or when she endures interruptions while typing as she whisks her demanding three year old away to do the Mickey Mouse “hot dog dance;” or as she interrogates her 16 year olds first boyfriend requesting a urine and blood sample before their date. Treasure these days as they will be just a memory. A mother’s love means a life of devotion and sacrifice. Happy is her heart when her prayers are answered and her children feel they helped contribute to her temporary insanity, her noble purpose, and in some measure repaid her unceasing, unwavering love and life-long purpose as a “mother.” We don’t have to wait until Mother’s Day to thank our mothers for giving us the best gift: the gift of LIFE!

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!

Pro-Lifer Attacking Women

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 05:40:35 GMT

Saturday May 7 ^th , 2011

On a bright and beautiful morning one day before Mother's Day the prayerful witness outside the abortion mill was soon pierced with the frightening screams from the angry religious man. He was decked out in his fake collar again hoping for a good audience this day. We had just brought a save inside our ultrasound van to show her a picture of her unborn baby when all hell broke loose on the front sidewalk. The youth group and several leaders tried to calmly ask the impostor pastor to stop being mean and to stop condemning the women. “We are here to save babies, not kill them,” one young girl said. We brought the pregnant girl inside our van. She was frightened by the screams and sat up. We assured her the man would not come inside the van. It was a terrible witness to this save.

Then something miraculous happened. A new prayer warrior walked onto the abortion mill parking lot and came up to the angry man with tears rolling down her cheeks. She said, “Sir, this is my first time here praying. Please stop screaming hate at those women. It's very frightening and you are scaring me.” John B just ignored her and continued with his tirade as others pleaded, “Love them John, love them.” Their pleas went unanswered as usual. He then walked back over to the alley to join the other troublemakers who encourage this demonic spectacle outside the abortion mill.

We were finishing the ultrasound and going over resources and physician follow up, when some of the kids from the youth group felt the Holy Spirit telling them to confront this angry man with the damage he is doing outside the abortion mill. We came outside and shared the good news with some of the prayer warriors on the sidewalk eagerly waiting. Alleluia! 26 weeks baby girl! It was then that a few of the men from the Christian prayer group joined us and commented on the troublemakers and the screaming man. I distinguished our ministry from the" scream team". One gentleman took his hat off, shook my hand, and introduced himself. He said, “I have read about you and your wonderful ministry and now I finally moved here from New Jersey and I am honored to meet a real hero".. he said, “Not me, it's God. He just uses me.” I answered. Another prayer warrior came forward and said, “We know who’s doing the work, and now we realize what you’re battling down here on the sidewalks. Those people are horrible. They are terrorizing those women.” “I know, but they think they are doing the Lord’s work.” I quoted a scripture, " For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:13-14

I explained how many women have come out and former employees have told us that the angry screaming man is a running joke inside the mill. He just gets the abortion-minded inside faster. You don't need deathscorts with him screaming. At about that time several teens from the youth group walked back from the alleyway with these expressions on their faces of disbelief and shaking their heads. Jordan and Brigette shared their confrontation with the troublemakers. “We tried conveying to the man that he was doing more harm by screaming and making the women feel bad.” The troublemakers Donna Westenberger, Peggy Dresden, and John Baliff replied, “We’re here to make the women feel bad and shame them with their sin.” Jordan responded, "You should be here to help the pregnant girls and love them like the Michaels do. How many babies have you saved?” “Uh...uh…” Peggy answered. “Well, we know we have. ” Jordan said, “Small Victories has been here for many years and they have saved thousands of babies,” Brigette spoke up. “You are scaring the women and you are scaring me.” Jordan said that they took their Bible, pointed to scripture, and twisted it to justify their actions. They took things out of context. We answered, “Osama, Hitler, Westboro Baptist. There are a lot of radicals that their ends justify their means.” “It's stupid,” Jordan said. "We see the fruits in your ministry."

The leader of the men's prayer group then spoke up and said, “We want to support you. We need to have a banquet for you and help your ministry to continue the good work you are doing outside this abortion mill.” The screaming man started up again; he was attacking a woman who brought someone for an abortion. We calmly called over to her and said, “Those without sin cast the first stone.” She looked over, and we proceeded to explain, “Those people in the alley are here to argue and make women angry. They do the work of the devil.” “I'm not killing my baby,” she responded. “We know you brought someone, but please, these troublemakers feed off your energy. Don't give it to them. They want to make you argue with them. Just ignore their taunts. If anything, go inside and tell your friend that there is free help and another option outside in our ultrasound van. We care about her." She finished her cigarette and thanked us as she went back inside.

The men's prayer group then asked, “Why don’t their pastors stand with them?” We told them, “Most of them have been kicked out of their churches, lost their churches, or don't even go to church. They are rebels and every pastor that stands with our ministry has rebuked them for their demonic actions.” “Now we understand what you have to go through to save babies. We really appreciate you Angela.” Jordan and Brigette both chimed in with, “We're glad you are here too.” “Just think of how many more babies would be killed if you were not here,” Jordan said.

"Mary," the lady who confronted the angry screaming man earlier, finished her prayers and came over to thank us and look at the pictures of our babies we have saved and adopted. “They are beautiful," she said. “You should show them to that angry man.” “He hates babies, Mary. He is angry and bitter. That is why he will not take correction. That is why they are here. If Jesus Christ came back today and told them they were wrong in their treatment of pregnant women they would call Him a liar. Jesus would never confront the adulteress at the well in anger or by screaming hate at her. Jesus loved on her and brought her to true repentance by winning her with LOVE. Remember, the fruit of the spirit is: “Love, joy, peace. patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” Gal 5:22-23

"It's God's job to judge, the Holy Spirit's job to convict, and our job to love" -Rev. Billy Graham

“Hi! This is Jessica, I was one of the teenagers at Granite City with you guys today. I just wanted to thank you for everything that you have done. You have no idea how much it means to me, as well as to all of the pro-life community. I have such an incredible amount of respect for your whole family, and just felt like you really need to know how much you are loved and appreciated.

How you have dedicated your lives to God's cause is just amazing! If only the people walking into that clinic knew how much you cared for them, how much you cared for their babies. I wish that all pro-lifers could be like you, letting their lights shine instead of hiding out and doing nothing for such an amazing cause. Thank you so much. Angela, I want to be just like you when I grow up:) We love you guys!!!

In Defense Of Small Victories

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 05:30:04 GMT

Foreword by Angela Michael

2011

“For where envy and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work: But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” James 3:16-18

Detractors are not a surprise, the fact that they profess to be Christians is. But when we realize that the very same battle happened before, it’s to be expected. There was rebellion in Heaven. Satan could not run the rebellion by himself because he is not omnipotent and we discover that one-third of Heaven was as sinful and vicious as Satan. If God , Himself had warfare in Heaven ,why would any of us be immnune?

Fact: babies are alive today; babies that would have been murdered through abortion because of the efforts of Angela and Daniel Michael and their "help women, help the unborn" ministry known as Small Victories. This selfless couple has, for years, helped thousands and has even gone so far as to adopt two abortion bound babies into their own family.

Now, it has come to my attention that Small Victories is under attack. They are, among other things, being accused of financial impropriety and, those who would destroy them have even gone so far as to put up a website devoted to that goal. Further, they've contacted would-be donors and have even run ads in the Belleville News Democrat. All this under the guise of Christian love and correction.

Two things. Since this is supposedly a "Christian" matter, it should have been handled in the church. Secondly, the accusers are faceless, nameless, anonymous. Like those who don masks or hoods to do their dirty deeds, they avoid confrontation and the essential American underpinning of being able to face your accusers. My advice to them is…man up. Tell us your names and boldly come before the judge with your case. No business of ministry is beyond examination. But, to cast stones from afar, from behind your barricade of darkness…is cowardly. And to the rest; check out for yourselves this important ministry in our midst.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD & SUSAN G. KOMEN

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 05:27:58 GMT

By Kelleigh Nelson
February 23, 2011
NewsWithViews.com

Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, now Susan G. Komen for the Cure, was launched by Nancy Goodman Brinker in response to a promise she made her dying sister, Susan Goodman Komen, to do everything she could to eradicate breast cancer. Her sister died in 1980 at the age of 36.

Every October (breast cancer awareness month) becomes the push for donations to Susan G. Komen. Last October I wanted to buy some China on sale at a local department store and unless I gave $1.00 to Komen for every discount coupon (I needed five), I couldn’t get the sale price. It reminded me of the corporate offices I’d worked for that had pushed for 100% participation in United Way donations. The upper management would actually harass you to give and wanted deductions from your paychecks! I would give one penny, that way they could say they got 100% donations, but it still irritated me. We all have a right to choose to refuse!

The reason I won’t give to Susan G. Komen is simple. For years pro-lifers like me have opposed contributing to SGK because it not only denies that induced abortions may cause breast cancer, it also bestows financial grants to Planned Parenthood affiliates allegedly for breast cancer screening. Planned Parenthood claims their community grants are restricted and closely monitored to provide vital breast health education, screening and treatment services for underserved women. But for every dollar Komen donates to Planned Parenthood, another dollar from another source is freed up to promote and perform abortion. Since the Susan G. Komen Foundation began giving grants to Planned Parenthood, purportedly for breast health services, the number of women receiving breast health services from Planned Parenthood has decreased. According to Planned Parenthood’s 2003-2004 Annual Report, abortions increased by 14,000 in 2002-2003, which breast exams decreased by more than 141,000. We have now reached the ungodly number of over 53 million aborted babies. How can we expect God to bless our nation when we kill the innocents in the womb and the elderly in their sick beds?

Between 2004 and 2009, SGK affiliates gave $3.3 million to Planned Parenthood. In Fiscal Year 2009 alone, Planned Parenthood got $731,303 from SGK. It really doesn’t matter the amount inasmuch as anyone that believes in choosing life as God’s Word states, (Deut.30:19) and are trying to save people with a disease like breast cancer, don’t want any part of their monies going to an organization that funds abortion providers.

SGK seems to speak out of both sides of their mouths. Their website states that childbearing protects women from breast cancer, and the more children a mother bears and the younger she begins bearing them the better. They also acknowledge breast feeding protects against breast cancer. Abortion however, blocks all those preventative measures. It has even been found that breast cancer survivors lower their risk of dying by 42% simply by getting pregnant, but again, abortion blocks that protection. SGK acknowledges never having children increases a women’s risk of getting breast cancer, and delaying childbearing, particularly after 35, also increases the risk. Abortion increases the risk of both those risks.

Eric Winer, the chief scientific advisor for Susan G. Komen for the Cure believes the Planned Parenthood criticisms are unfounded. He states a relationship with two Catholic ethicists, Ron Hamel and Michael Panicola, both Ph.D.’s. Winer claims these men examined the moral implications of SGK’s funding and concluded it was permissible for the church to be involved with Komen in light of its funding of Planned Parenthood. But get this, the Hamel/Panicola opinion, published on the now infamous, pro-Obamacare Catholic Health Association’s website , is really a piece of work. It reads like the letters you receive from your congress critters that answer none of your questions and talk totally around the issue and then thank you for your interest.

SGK will argue there is no concrete evidence that abortion contributes to breast cancer and now statistics even show that early use of hormone contraception also contributes to breast cancer just as hormone replacement therapy has been found to do. Eric Winer has also dismissed the proven link between abortion and breast cancer even though there are many studies and clinical professionals who agree, including Angela Lanfranchi, M.D., who writes in a Breast Cancer Prevention Institute brochure , “The later in pregnancy an abortion is done, the higher the risk of breast cancer as the more Type 1 and 2 lobules will have formed. Induced abortion leaves a woman with more places for breast cancer to start.

Karen Malec, spokesperson for the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer says Komen does not tell women the truth that abortion increases breast cancer risk in three ways:

1. By delaying a first full term pregnancy (a risk recognized by all experts) the woman loses her chance to mature 85% of her cancer-susceptible breast lobules into full cancer resistant lobules at a younger age. Full maturity takes place throughout the last months of pregnancy.

2. Almost all of the childless women’s breast lobules are cancer–susceptible Type 1 and 2 lobules. Up to 95% of all breast cancers arise in these lobules. The breasts grow during pregnancy because of an increase of estrogen which is a cancer causing agent, thereby causing the lobules to multiply. The woman who aborts before lobule maturation is completed is left with more places in her breasts for cancers to start.

3. The Institute of Medicine lists abortion as a risk factor for premature birth…and premature birth before 32 weeks gestation increases the mother’s breast cancer risk.. Through the abortion-premature birth link, the woman is left with more places in her breasts for cancers to start.

Even Komen states on its own website that a large analysis that combined results of many studies found that while women were taking birth-control pills (and shortly thereafter), they had a 10 to 30 percent higher risk of breast cancer than women who had never taken birth control pills.

As for the emergency contraceptive pill, which contains 10-15 times the amount of artificial hormones as a single birth-control pill, its labeling states it is contraindicated if one has a current or past history of breast cancer. In fact it appears hormonal contraceptives are more seriously implicated in breast cancer than previously known.

A 2009 study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention showed that the risk for women under 40 of contracting a newly identified and virulent form of the disease called triple-negative breast cancer rose by 320% if using hormonal contraceptives for a year or more.”

This same study co-authored in part by two of the very National Cancer Institute researchers who in 2003 denied a link between abortion and breast cancer, also acknowledged a 40% increased risk of contracting breast cancer under the age of 40 if a woman had had an abortion.

Karen Malek says, “Komen perpetuates the breast cancer epidemic by giving funds to Planned Parenthood. As a seller of hormonal contraceptives and abortions, Planned Parenthood is the primary cause of the breast cancer epidemic.”

Although the funds are supposedly intended for breast cancer screenings, Komen has no way of ensuring that the funds are used exclusively for that purpose instead of its cancer-causing activities.

Several of the Catholic dioceses have withdrawn their support for Komen for these reasons as well as Komen’s endorsement of experiments on embryonic humans.

Other SGK Connections to Planned Parenthood

A pro-lifer in Washington State discovered on Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest’s (PPGNW) IRS 990 forms that it has held a 12.5% share in Metro Centre, a mall in Peoria , Illinois since 2006. PPGNW is Washington ’s largest abortion provider and is currently under investigation for Medicaid fraud. Metro Centre is owned by Eric Brinker who is the son of Nancy Goodman Brinker, the founder of SGK. Eric also sits on SGK’s board. Brinker claimed the 12.5% Planned Parenthood inherited from one of the original stockholders, but they’ve never sold their shares.

Brinker also states that only “20 of Komen’s 122 U.S. affiliates fund breast health services through local Planned Parenthood clinics.” But what is interesting is two of those 20, Komen Puget Sound and Komen Boise, fund Brinker’s business partner, PPGNW.

Komen Board Members and Staff

Nancy Brinker, founder of SGK Foundation, has served on the advisory board of Planned Parenthood of Dallas. In 2003, Planned Parenthood received a record $475,000 from Susan G. Komen affiliates all across the nation and Planned Parenthood of Dallas built a new facility costing $5 million dollars. Nancy Brinker received the Gertrude Shelburne Humanitarian Award from Planned Parenthood of North Texas in 1996. Gertrude Shelburne established Planned Parenthood in Dallas in 1982, and was a friend of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood.

Eve Sanchez-Silver, former SGK Foundation National Hispanic/Latina Advisory Council member, resigned after discovering the connection between the Komen Foundation and Planned Parenthood.

Lisa Custard, current member of the Susan G. Komen Foundation National Board of Directors, is pictured and listed in the Planned Parenthood of North Texas newsletter as a donor.

Monica Leonard of the Sacramento Valley Susan G. Komen Affiliate had a prior job at Planned Parenthood Golden Gate and Komen lists this on their Sacramento Affiliate website.

Philadelphia Komen Affiliate Board Member John Briggs has also served on the advisory board for Planned Parenthood.

The form 990 for Susan G. Komen for the cure is at this website . How many miles do those thousands of volunteers need to "walk for the cure" just to meet the payroll of the Executive Board? If you add up the 2009 annual compensation (salary & benefits) listed on page 59 for 17 employees, the grand total is $3,859,117.00. You do the math.

In Support of Each Other
Planned Parenthood of North Texas gave an award to the co-chair of the Ft. Worth Race for the Cure.
Planned Parenthood of North Texas thanked the Susan G. Komen Foundation Collin and Tarrant County Affiliates in their newsletter for granting Planned Parenthood of North Texas $46,430 in 2004.
Planned Parenthood of Southeast Michigan formed a team for the Susan G. Komen Detroit Race for Cure.
Susan G. Komen Colorado Springs Affiliate hosted a health fair where they included “health partners” Planned Parenthood.
Susan G. Komen lists the local Planned Parenthood Health Centers as a resource on most of their affiliate websites and vice versa.
Susan G. Komen and Planned Parenthood are both involved in the Texas Medical Center Women’s Health Network.
Planned Parenthood of Southeast Michigan participated in the Susan G. Komen Lee National Denim Day in 2001.
Planned Parenthood of Lubbock is listed as a sponsor of the Lubbock Race for the Cure in 1998 and 1999.

Eugenics or Cure?
Planned Parenthood over the years has stated in their literature such things as the elimination of child care, medical attention, scholarships, housing, loans, and subsidies to poor families. It has openly stated maternity benefits should be drastically reduced or even eliminated, substantial across-the-board marriage and child taxes being imposed, and large families not being given preferential charitable relief. Saying Planned Parenthood is an advocate for the poor is an outright lie. For Susan G. Komen to lead people to believe poor women are getting breast exams at Planned Parenthood and not being propagandized by their programs is ludicrous. Planned Parenthood is instead a great oppressor and exploiter of the poor. Its image-conscious rhetoric of compassion is Orwellian doublespeak. It is not involved primarily in “family planning,” but is instead involved in “family banning.”

Finally and most importantly, Planned Parenthood is by no means privately funded. The truth is, a vast proportion of Planned Parenthood’s funding at every level, from the local level to the international level, comes right out of the American taxpayer’s pockets. It has become for all intents and purposes an unofficial, and thus unrestrained and unrestricted branch of the federal government and part of the population control plan. See this link here .

There was a recent expose of a Planned Parenthood affiliate aiding a pimp’s underage sex ring. The organization that put this on YouTube is a group of young pro-lifers called LiveAction. Their website , and the video .

Live Action has audio from phone calls to Planned Parenthood in various states that agree to take donations that specifically target donating to fund aborting black babies. The caller says there are too many blacks and he wants to reduce the minority population. Planned Parenthood agrees that he just needs to specify that on his donation and they will honor his request.

Dr. Alveda King, pro-life advocate and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, has kind words for Live Action group and takes issue with Susan G. Komen’s statements that there’s no conclusive proof abortion causes breast cancer. She states, “Giving Planned Parenthood money is part of an insidious cycle. Breast cancer is linked to abortions, Planned Parenthood gives abortions and then they turn around and give you mammograms, ‘We are going to give you breast cancer then we are going to turn around and let you know that you have it, and then we are going to get with this great organization and raise money to treat it,’” she said.

I hope this article reaches enough pro-lifers that they’ll understand funding Susan G. Komen is working against God’s command to CHOOSE LIFE! And yes, there are other groups collecting funds for breast cancer research that have no connections to pro-abort groups.

Finally, let me end from some words sent to me by a dear friend who lives because her mother’s abortion failed. She is one of the finest Christian women I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.
She wrote the following words to me:

“Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.” Ps. 37:1-2

“We need to appropriate such promises to ourselves in times such as these when the continuing headlines night and day are of one calamity or threat after another. Unless we had the unchangeable Word of God to cling to we would have long ago given into the pressures all around us, but history proves that what He has said He will do. We could greatly expedite His promises by daily praying for faith to trust Him more, realizing that the day is coming when He will reign supreme and all those who have walked in His steps. Not only will we be strengthened for the rest of the journey, but we will give increased courage to those whose eyes are upon us as those who profess to be followers of the one true God and Christ. Remain faithful. It is the only way to live and not simply exist.”

Foreword by Angela Michael

I personally interviewed Dr. Bernard Nathanson several times on our St. Louis radio program. Even though he converted to being pro-life and a Christian, the tortuous deaths of thousands of babies he oversaw pained him. He let it be known how much he regretted being the father of NARAL.

Dr. Nathanson renounced the deceitful figures he gave decades ago misrepresenting back-alley abortion deaths. To this day, we have seen more women die by legalized abortion than by so-called back-alley abortions.

Bernard Nathanson Dead at 84
‘I am one of those who helped usher in this barbaric age.’ After putting thousands of unborn children to death, he became one of the great leaders of the pro-life movement.
BY STEPHEN VINCENT

NEW YORK — Dr. Bernard N. Nathanson, an obstetrician who oversaw the performance of about 75,000 abortions before becoming a leading pro-life advocate and a convert to the Catholic faith, died at his home in New York Feb. 21 after a prolonged battle with cancer. He was 84.

After performing his last abortion in 1979 and declaring himself to be pro-life, Nathanson produced the 1985 film The Silent Scream, which shows sonogram images of a child in the womb shrinking from an abortionist’s instruments, and the documentary film Eclipse of Reason, which displays and explains various abortion procedures in graphic detail. Both films had a significant impact on the abortion debate, solidified his credentials among pro-life advocates and earned him the scorn of his former pro-abortion friends and colleagues.

He also published a number of influential books, including Aborting America, written in 1979 with Richard Ostling, then a religion reporter for Time magazine, in which he exposed the deceptive and dishonest beginnings of the pro-abortion movement and undermined the argument that abortion is safe for women.

He often admitted that he and other abortion advocates in the 1960s lied about the number of women who died from illegal abortions at that time, inflating the figure from a few hundred to 10,000 to gain sympathy for their cause.

In his 1996 autobiography The Hand of God, he told the story of his journey from pro-abortion to pro-life, saying that viewing images from the new ultrasound technology in the 1970s convinced him of the humanity of the unborn baby. Outlining the enormous challenge of restoring a pro-life ethic, he wrote, “Abortion is now a monster so unimaginably gargantuan that even to think of stuffing it back into its cage … is ludicrous beyond words. Yet that is our charge — a herculean endeavor.”

He noted, regretfully, “I am one of those who helped usher in this barbaric age.”

His pro-life witness could not easily be dismissed as one-sided propaganda since Nathanson had enjoyed such a high standing among abortion supporters as a co-founder of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (now called NARAL ProChoice America), and as operator of what he called the nation’s busiest abortion business. The facility was opened in New York City after the state’s abortion laws were loosened in 1970 and abortion promoters realized that the high number of women seeking abortion could not all be admitted to a hospital for the procedure. A freestanding ambulatory clinic, in which abortion and recovery took about three hours, was an innovation devised by Nathanson and his colleagues.

Overall, Nathanson estimated, he presided over 60,000 abortions as director of the facility, instructed fellow practitioners in the performance of 15,000 other abortions, and personally performed about 5,000 abortions, including one on his own child conceived with a girlfriend in the 1960s.

Baptized Catholic

For more than a decade after he became pro-life, Nathanson described himself as a Jewish atheist, but in December of 1996 he was baptized a Catholic by Cardinal John O’Connor in a private Mass with a group of friends in New York ’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral. He also received confirmation and first Communion from the cardinal.

About his baptism, he said, “I was in a real whirlpool of emotion, and then there was this healing, cooling water on me, and soft voices, and an inexpressible sense of peace. I had found a safe place.”

Among those concelebrating the Mass was Father C. John McCloskey, an Opus Dei priest who had instructed Nathanson in the faith over a number of years.

“He was a pro-life prophet,” Father McCloskey said in a recent Register interview. “He saw the whole culture of death coming, and knew that abortion was just the tip of the iceberg.”

Nathanson visited Father McCloskey periodically over the course of a decade, the priest said, and one day in 1994 announced that he wanted to become a Catholic. After his baptism, Father McCloskey said, “He practiced the faith, he frequented the sacraments, and spoke about his Catholicism unabashedly.”

Nathanson later said that he was drawn closer to God while viewing a massive Operation Rescue event, when hundreds sat down in front of a New York Planned Parenthood building, blocking traffic. The sight of so many pro-lifers selflessly sacrificing their selves and risking arrest made him realize that they must be answering a higher call, he explained.

In an epilogue to the second edition of The Hand of God, Father McCloskey called the book “one of the more important autobiographies of the twentieth century,” which documents “man’s inhumanity both to humanity and to his personal self, and the possibility of redemption.”

Another strong factor in his conversion was the book Pillar of Fire, by noted psychiatrist Dr. Karl Stern, who tells of his own journey from Judaism to the Catholic Church. Nathanson studied briefly under Stern in medical school, though at that time he did not know about Stern’s conversion. It was only years later, when Nathanson read Pillar of Fire that he learned off his former professor’s religious views.

Nathanson’s godmother for baptism was Joan Andrews Bell, who had served more than a year in jail for blocking the entrances to abortion businesses.

She said she spoke to Nathanson by phone in February 2011, when he only had the strength to speak a few sentences. “He said he was praying for us, and I told him we love him and pray for him, too,” she said.

“He will be remembered as a very strong advocate for the babies,” she continued. “One factor stood out, knowing him over the years, and that was that he had a deep pain for what he had done in terms of abortion. I remember there were periods he was fasting; he underwent huge amounts of fasting to make up for it.”

She said that he had “a deep and tender heart,” and that once he saw the truth about abortion, he was determined to stop it. “He was like St. Paul , who was a great persecutor of the Church, yet when he saw the light of Christ, he was perhaps the greatest apostle for the Gospel. Dr. Nathanson was like that after his conversion. He went all around the world talking about the babies and the evils of abortion. Being his godmother was such an amazing thing, to see him come to Christ.”

Nathanson was married and divorced three times before being married in the Church by Father McCloskey soon after becoming a Catholic. His wife, Christine, survives him, as does his grown son, Joseph, by an earlier union.

A Doctor’s Son

Bernard Nathanson was born in New York City July 31, 1926. His father was a highly accomplished obstetrician/gynecologist who taught in various prestigious medical schools. Nathanson grew up with his younger sister in a secular Jewish home. As he explained in his autobiography, his father sent him to Hebrew school yet would question and undermine the teachings of the rabbis.

He described his father as an excellent and ethical physician who was less than exemplary in his personal life. He was dominating and overbearing, and cheated on his wife. Nathanson wrote that his sister “lost her personality” under their father’s influence and committed suicide at age 49, an event that grieved his father so greatly that he never mentioned her in conversation afterward.

Nathanson followed in his father’s footsteps, attending McGill University Medical College in Montreal , where he had his first experience with abortion after he got his girlfriend pregnant. He used the money received in the mail from his father to pay for her abortion, at a time when the procedure was illegal. “It served as my introductory excursion into the satanic world of abortion,” he later wrote.

After graduating from medical school in 1949, he did his residency in Chicago and New York , at one time working in the same hospital as his father. In 1953 he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and served for a few years as an obstetrician/gynecologist.

After his military stint, he settled in New York and began building a thriving ob-gyn practice. While working with poor patients, he saw the scarring effects of illegal abortions on the women. He wrote, “Illegal abortion was in 1967 the number one killer of pregnant women.”

In New York , he got another girlfriend pregnant and decided to perform an abortion on her himself. About aborting his own child, he wrote in The Hand of God: “I swear to you that I had no feelings aside from the sense of accomplishment, the pride of expertise.”

He added, describing the abortionist’s mindset: “icy; conscienceless; remorselessly perverting his medical skills; defiling his ethical charge; and helping, nay seducing, with his clinical calm, his oh-so-comforting professionalism, women into the act that comes closest to self-slaughter.”

Busiest Abortion Business

While not giving up his ob-gyn practice, Nathanson became heavily involved in abortion in 1968 after meeting Larry Lader, a politically connected public relations master who was obsessed with overturning New York ’s abortion laws. In looking for an easy target to attack for media attention, Nathanson said, they chose the Catholic Church, whose opposition to abortion they blamed for every botched illegal abortion they brought before the media.

Bolstered by a coalition of abortion doctors and a burgeoning feminist movement, New York ’s lawmakers passed a bill to overturn the state’s century-old abortion restrictions, which was signed into law by Republican Gov. Nelson Rockefeller on July 1, 1970.

Soon Nathanson was the director of the new Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health (CRASH) in Manhattan , which he described as the “largest abortion clinic in the Western world,” with referrals from all along the Eastern seaboard and beyond.

Looking back on those years, he wrote, “I had a young son and a wife, but I was hardly ever at home. I bitterly regret those years, if for no other reason than that I failed to see my son grow up.”

As he became more publicly associated with abortion, he was treated as a “pariah” in legitimate medical circles and received fewer obstetrical referrals. For these reasons, he decided to leave the abortion facility at the end of 1972 and took the position as chief of obstetrics at St. Luke’s Hospital, where he kept doing abortions for what he considered “medically justified reasons.”

Yet the advent of ultrasound technology eventually convinced him that a true human being is killed in abortion, and he began to develop what he called the “vector theory of life.” By this he meant that from the time of conception, the unborn child has a self-directed force of life that, if not interrupted, will lead to the birth of a human baby. He knew this was not “potential life,” as the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade.

Writing in The Hand of God, Nathanson described a turning point in his thinking: “I believe the fertilized ovum (zygote) to be a new individual launched along an unimaginably busy vector of life that terminates when the vector finally moves its 180 degrees to the negative pole.”

The trajectory of this insight would lead him to his own 180-degree turn in thinking and eventually to work against legal abortion and the industry that promoted it.

Funeral arrangements are pending.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent on things that really matter

We no sooner saw the smoke clear with the arrest of abortionist Kermit Gosnell in the three story slaughterhouse in Philadelphia, and are still in dismay at the lack of outrage from the feminist majority who refer to abortion as healthcare and abortion providers as heroes, even if they kill women while doing abortions. Today Live Action and Lila Rose released another undercover video of corruption being footed by our tax dollars: "Planned Parenthood Caught Aiding, Abetting Sex Trafficking of Minors" New undercover footage shows a Planned Parenthood clinic manager conspiring with a "pimp" to secretly secure STDs testing and abortion services for his prostitutes as young as 14 years old , despite their age or enslavement. The manager even informs the man posing as a pimp how to get around judicial bypass laws protecting minors.

Forget about if you are pro-choice or pro-life. This is about underage minors being abused and exploited by those entrusted to their welfare. Where is the outrage from N.O.W and other women's groups? Child advocates? Congress gives Planned Parenthood over $350 million a year through Title X funds. Unbelievable! They tell us to mind our own business when it comes to abortion and yet they reach in our wallets to pay for that business. Planned Parenthood is not only targeting Black Americans for abortion, but they are willing to cover up the prostitution enslavement of young girls as long as they are making money in doing so.

What is so troublesome is the silence coming from those professing to be the voice of women ensuring their rights and freedoms. The degradation and oppression of women was what gave early feminists their marching orders. Yet this footage reinforces the horror of the logic of Planned Parenthood’s founding; it has come to roost in its modern form. Enough is enough! Our taxes should not be funding the corrupt agenda of Planned Parenthood or any abortion clinic that could really care less about the safety and welfare of young girls and their bogus claims of protecting women.

"Another Abortionist in Granite City, Illinois Bites the Dust"

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 05:11:36 GMT

Former felon and abortionist Allen Palmer retires
from butchering babies and women.

February 17, 2011
Written By: Angela Michael

Small Victories Ministries is pleased to announce the demise of another abortionist and butcher of babies and women. It appears former felon and abortionist Allen Palmer Jr. is closing his last known cutlery practice, Women’s Care Gynecology, located in Bridgeton , Missouri . In speaking with his office manager, she confirmed they are no longer doing abortions and are closing their doors at the end of the month. Mr. Palmer has been the subject of many lawsuits of medical malpractice, gross negligence, and medical battery just to name a few inside Granite City , Illinois ’ Hope Clinic for Women. It stands as the Midwest ’s largest, late-term abortion provider where just this past summer Allen Palmer Jr. was terminated due to the surmounting lawsuits filed against him and Hope Clinic.

It appears the final straw that broke this abortionist’s trail of destruction was the tsunami of lawsuits recently filed against Allen Palmer and several other hospital employees at a St. Louis area hospital where Allen Palmer Jr. has medical privileges. The plaintiff allegedly suffered complications after a surgical procedure. Palmer has been no stranger to controversy or problems at this abortion facility, and in June 2008 Antoinette Blanton filed a $50,000.00 suit against Hope Clinic saying the failed March 2006 abortion caused her to be sterile. According to the lawsuit, Palmer failed to remove the entire late-term unborn child during the abortion procedure at Hope Clinic. A substantial amount of time passed, causing her to be rushed to a Metro-East hospital where life-sustaining measures were performed in order to save her life. She underwent a complete hysterectomy and many hours of blood transfusions.

In April 2008, Hope Clinic became the subject of a lawsuit from a woman who accused them of doing an abortion on her without her consent. Our ministry helped facilitate this lawsuit on behalf of Brandy Hildreth of Granite City . She sued for having a different abortion practitioner do the abortion. She was treated by Palmer but Chicago-area abortion practitioner Lisa Memmel eventually did the abortion without her knowledge. This lawsuit is still being litigated in the courts.

Palmer was also the subject of controversy in January 2010 when a New Year’s baby was found dead and the mother was rushed to a St. Louis area hospital after her late-term abortion was botched.

Chatham Bible Church & Tim Keating Exposed

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 05:09:06 GMT

Written by Daniel Michael

February 17, 2008

Proverbs 6:16-19 “There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies, and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.”

A small remnant of gentle Christian warriors helped deliver God’s mail and the truth to this “seeker-friendly” church this day. Turbulent weather wasn’t far behind. That is how the devil works when he’s angry. This was a big church. One former member told us it was, “full of pride.”

As you can see on the marquee, most churches claim they are full of Jesus, yet the pastor and the elders allow members of their church to lie and slander Christians doing God’s work.

Pastor Dave Greiner and others in Chatham Bible Church allow member Tim Keating to publish lies and spread falsehoods against Angela and Daniel Michael and their Small Victories pro-life ministry, even though they know the truth.

For some time we have made known to Pastor Greiner the problems outside the abortion mill and he has turned a blind eye, just as his initial statement to us outside his church this day confirms: “I am well aware of the letter Mr. Keating wrote and it may not be true, but you shouldn’t be out here ruining my Sunday sermon. Call me later on and we will talk about his un-Christian-like behavior!”

Jeremiah 5:31 “The prophets prophesy lies, priests rule by their own authority, and My people love it this way…”

But I think you can tell the quality of this church by the middle finger we received from an attendee going in. You would expect this from the lost, not the saved. We expect to be persecuted and drug through the mud by the abortion industry, not by a church and its leaders claiming to love Jesus. These actions have been a hindrance and distraction in trying to save babies. It is an abomination.

Pastor Dave is well aware of the 2700 babies saved from abortion and the approximately 4000 mothers Small Victories has helped, but he continues to allow troublemakers in his church to gossip, cause division and strife, and bear false witness against the Michaels in an attempt to destroy their vital ministry, which has been on the streets for over 14 years daily, and a pro-life radio ministry for 6 ½ years. We handed the elders the defaming and slanderous letters to the editor Keating has been publishing.

Like most pastors, he doesn’t want to lose that weekly $$$ in the offering. He wants to pacify the flock. Let’s not rock the boat. He looks the other way at sin. What a shame! “Anyone who knows the good they should do and doesn’t do it, sins.” James 4:17. Is it any wonder why we see so many typical “Christians” walking inside the abortion mill to premeditatedly kill their own child and they don’t even blush when confronted with this sin? Most of these types can quote scripture better than we hear being preached. This is the current condition of the American “seeker-friendly” church.

Why would church people dressed like pro-lifers drive across state lines and cause so much turmoil outside an abortion mill? Because the silence and apathy from their pastor and the lack of fire from their pulpits allows them to. They are full of themselves. Prideful. The Lord calls them “schemers” and “mockers” . They fall under no authority. They can recite scripture, but they don’t practice what they preach. Hypocrites. Matthew 7:5 “You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

The Bible says, “You shall know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:20. Read related article: “The Green Flu”

The Elephant In The Room

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 05:04:44 GMT

Written by Angela Michael

January 2011

There is an elephant in the room and the eyes of our nation, communities, spiritual leaders, and legislators keep looking the other way. Although now and then there is a rumbling and a flash in the pan such as when the horrid doings of the unsheathed butcher, Kermit Gosnell, come to light; for the most part the elephant in the room...is abortion.

Abortion is a national sin. Thou shalt not murder is a commandment. When a baby in the womb is deliberately killed, terminated, it’s murder. If that same developing embryo is left undisturbed it will be born and called a newborn. A baby. It’s a human being like you and me. What gives us the right to pick and choose who is deserving of life? Where in the Constitution does it state that a person has the right to murder another human being? If a baby is not a human being, then what is it? How hauntingly true is the real estate saying, "Location determines the property value." Just as the dark side of our history concerning the horrible oppression of those persons with black skin, and those with a Jewish last name; now we the treat the ailing, the elderly, the disabled, and the innocent unborn...as property; to be disposed of at will.

The schizophrenic right to abortion is a state by state law. Who makes the law? The Congress. Then why do federal judges have the right to make law and rule from the bench? Illinois has parental rights on the books since 1995. It’s the law, but a federal judge and attorney general have it bottled up in the courts. It was actually enforced for three hours in 2010 until another injunction was filed against it and the same federal judge has tied it up once again. Enforce the law! Who should be raising underage minors? Those that provide a roof and foot their bills; not the abortion mill staff. Parental rights need to be restored and placed back in the hands of the parents of that child.

How ironic that the same Constitution founded and written with Christian morals and principles, is constantly under attack with attempts to dismantle it by liberal judges and lobbyists. The Declaration of Independence firmly states that all men are created equal and deserving of certain rights that are protected by our Constitution: the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Without the right to life we could not enjoy the other two. We must always protect and stand up and be heard when it comes to the sanctity of all human life. Why are Federal and state officials, that are supposed to be the watchdogs, held to a different standard when it comes to women and abortion? Being purposely unregulated and unchecked; this is how deplorable and substandard butcher shops exist; and why women continue to be victimized and hurt by those professing to be their advocate. This should not be tolerated. No amount of money is worth it. Enforce the law!

Abortion is not an economical issue; it's not a political issue; it is a moral issue. Some may argue, "Well, we can't legislate morality." Do we allow rapists to rape; thieves to steal; Would we stand by and watch a predator snatch a 4 year old from the streets and molest that child?

There are more back alley butchers like “Gosnell” out there. It’s time to wake up and notice the elephant in the room. A puppy mill has more protection and advocates than a baby and its mother. Shame on us!

Slander Campaigns Against Public Figures

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 05:02:57 GMT

January 2011

Conservative talk radio hosts with nationally syndicated radio programs generate a great deal of controversy. When they give their conservative views on politics, religion, business, war, finances, and law, they make a lot of enemies.

Since their enemies cannot answer their conservative arguments, they attack the character and motives of the host. Instead of using logic and facts, they call them names, ridicule them, and slander them. If you doubt this, Google Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, D. James Kennedy, etc. and you will find them smeared with every kind of accusation.

Dr. Morey had a nationally syndicated conservative talk radio program called “Bob Morey Live!” It aired from Coast to Coast, Monday through Friday, during prime time, on both secular and religious radio stations. With great humor and rapier sharp wit, he argued his conservative views with liberal politicians, Muslim terrorists, religious liberals, astrologers, reincarnationists, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, agnostics, witches, Mormons, Catholics, Orthodox, etc. They could not refute what he argued any more they could defeat Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, etc. so they set up websites to attack him personally.

Being a nationally syndicated conservative talk show host means that all kinds of mentally unbalanced people become outraged with you and become obsessed with destroying you. Some of these become stalkers, some even psycho-sexual stalkers who want to sexually rape the host or claim that they had sex with him or her.

Dr. Jerry Falwell had several homosexual male prostitutes who claimed on the internet that they had gay sex with him. Larry Flynn even ran an article in his porn magazine that Dr. Falwell had sex with his mother! When Falwell sued for slander, the courts ruled against him because you cannot sue someone for what they say about you on the internet! This legal precedent opened the door for all kinds of nut cases and stalkers to vent their hatred against conservative talk radio hosts.

Dr. Bob, like all other conservative talk radio hosts, has down through the years collected his share of Muslim terrorists, mentally unbalanced people, stalkers, psycho-sexual stalkers, and some have attempted to murder him!

We checked into all the gossip and slander on the internet against Dr. Bob and found them without merit just like the vile attacks against Limbaugh, Falwell, etc. The following is a list of the baseless slanders found on the internet at the time the committee did it search. You have no doubt read some of them. They are examples of what sick minds can do to slander public figures. They are all groundless smears based on the logical fallacy called argumentum ad hominem in which you try to refute someone’s argument by calling them names (mean, unkind, unloving, liar, etc). Dr. Bob could be the wickedest man who ever lived and yet tell you the truth.

All the vile attacks made upon conservative talk radio hosts eventually fall to the ground as baseless mean-spirited slander. Only a fool would believe the slander found on the internet against public figures. Hopefully, you are not a fool.

A Biblical Analysis of Slander

Principles of approach:

1. The Bible sets up clear standards to determine if an accusation is admissible or should be rejected.

2. These standards are found in Deut. 19, Psalms, Proverbs, Matt. 18, and 1 Tim. 5.

3. In 1 Tim. 5, Pastors are given the highest level of protection by holding accusations to the highest standards of evidence.

4. The burden of proof is on the accuser, not the accused.

5. The accuser must have hard evidence and must not be based on any gossip, hearsay, single witness accusations, etc.

6. We must begin with the assumption that the pastor is innocent until proven guilty.

7. We must not begin with the assumption that he is guilty and then demand that he prove they are innocent

8. Hard evidence refers to accountant reports, bank records, canceled checks, letters, i.e. not hearsay evidence.

9. If an accusation is based on an unrecorded conversation (he said- she said), this is to be dismissed as hearsay evidence and inadmissible.

10. Ad hominem arguments attacking the character and motive of a man must be rejected according to Scripture.

11. The person making the accusation must have nothing to gain by discrediting the pastor. Those under church discipline, people trying to split the church, someone trying to divert attention from his sin, defending a friend who was offended, etc. have transparent reasons why they would engage in attacking a pastor.

12. Fellowships and associations of pastors who engage in secret meetings and then publicly attack pastors - whom they have usually never met - without giving them the opportunity to answer their accusations, will receive the severest judgment of God on their own ministries. This is particularly true when the accusations have nothing to do with morals or doctrine but with the private affairs of a local church such as the hiring and firing of employees. They are busybodies, tattletales, gossip mongers, and guilty of pastoral abuse.

These biblical principles should govern all accusations made against Pastors. To ignore these Scriptural standards of evidence is to commit the sins of gossip, slander, single witness, false witness, malicious witness, and lying. We recommend Dr. Morey’s book, A Bible Handbook on Slander and Gossip, as the biblical antidote to such wickedness. The following is a list of fifty slanders spread around on the internet against the character of Dr. Morey. New ones are invented every day by the Father of lies. They have only one goal: to destroy his ministry. There is no attempt to reconcile with Dr. Bob. No one attempted to meet with him or his Board to give them the opportunity to answer any biblically valid accusations. These websites and blogs are filled with “bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander and malice” (Eph. 4:31). Those engage in such things are the tares among the wheat and not the children of God.

SUPPORT FOR DR. MOREY’S MINISTRY

Dr. Peter Hammond
I am very sorry to read the outrageous, slanderous accusations made against you. We know you as a man of your word, and a man of God’s Word. You are a man of integrity and we pray that those who are violating the Scriptures by bearing false witness against you will come to their senses and repent of their sins, being reconciled to you that they may find forgiveness from Almighty God. We appear to be living in an age of intense envy and malice. Dr. James Kennedy is his book, Delighting God, wrote:

If you rise just a little bit above the common herd, if you achieve just a modicum more success than your neighbors, most assuredly those barbs of criticisms are going to be shot your way. To avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. There is no defense against reproach – except obscurity!

I have now been involved in missionary work for over 30 years. I have seen all too many examples of this increasing tendency of character assassination against some of the most diligent and dedicated servants of the Lord and against some of the most effective ministries worldwide. That is why I wrote Character Assassins – Dealing with Ecclesiastical Tyrants and Terrorists. Anyone who wants to understand this phenomenon and respond to it in a balanced, bold and Biblical way would be blessed and practically helped by studying Character Assassins. On our www.frontline.org.za website you will also find the helpful articles When All Men Speak Well of You; Mockers and Scoffers; A Biblical Response to Slander and Dealing with Pathological Antagonists.

Dr. John Frame
Dr. Bob Morey has been a good friend of mine for many years. I have long appreciated his understanding of God’s word and his hard work in research and teaching. He has risked his life to bring a witness for Christ over against Islam. Naturally he has accumulated critics who have made serious accusations. I have determined to put no credence in these, because of my overall confidence in Bob’s ministry, and because I have not seen credible evidence that any of these accusations are true. What constitutes “credible evidence” in this context? To answer such a question we must follow a biblical path of inquiry. His book, A Bible Handbook on Slander and Gossip, sets forth how the Bible would have us respond to accusations within the body of Christ. I think Bob has done a good job in summarizing Scripture’s teachings on gossip and slander. These are timely subjects; given that many have been using the internet irresponsibly, seeking to destroy people they don’t like. Many have compared the internet to the Wild West, where there is no accountability and any ignorant fool can take a shot at anyone else. I too have been hit by such people. It is time that the church took a stand to reinstitute biblical church discipline and to repudiate lying bloggers. I pray that this book will help to bring that about.

G. Lloyd Rediger (author of Clergy Killers: Guidance for Pastors and Congregations under Attack)
Your email tugged at my heart as I read yet another story of the “Clergy Killer Phenomenon,” the spiritual epidemic that has now affected so many faithful pastors, here in the USA , & throughout the English-speaking world. I wrote the CLERGY KILLERS, & THE TOXIC CONGREGATION books during these 30 years I have been doing therapy with hundreds of pastors & providing seminars & consultations. And I continue to be amazed & troubled by this unprecedented incursion of Evil into organized religion. I keep praying that denomination officials & seminaries will respond with relevant support & training, but there is little such help—“they just don’t get it!” First of all, reassure yourself that the CK Phenomenon is usually not the fault of the pastor. We know that CKs have one goal—to damage &/or get rid of the targeted pastor no matter how honest, faithful & compassionate you try to be. They cannot be subdued by negotiation or shamed into stopping. They will try to gather allies, & will begin to attack your supporters if they cannot get rid of you. And, recognize that denominational officials seldom do much to support you, even if they are sympathetic. There sometimes is legal recourse, but only if you have substantial & clear records & incriminating copies of their libelous attacks. Therefore, you will need to assess the strength & faithfulness of any true supporters you have. The long list of accusations brought against you seems to be malicious lies & innuendoes, which is a natural pattern of CK attacks. Don’t brood over them. Rather offer them to God and continue on.

Doug Shenk (New Life Bible Church )
I have been a member of New Life Bible Church since 1977, about a year after its formation by Dr. Robert A. Morey. I have been a deacon in the church since about 1980 and am to this present day.

Dr. Morey had been my Pastor and Elder for over 21 years up until the time the Lord called him to a ministry in California in 1998. Dr. Morey was, and is to this day, a great theologian in the faith and a very controversial figure in the Christian community; thus many satanic attacks have occurred over the years--both on him and the local church. It is no surprise to me that he is once again under attack. But as is the promise of God, he will be vindicated, if not in this life, in the next.

Dr. Morey is not a perfect Christian. He has told you all this from the beginning. But as an Elder of the Church, he has much accountability to the Lord, and much responsibility to us, and therefore cannot compromise on the doctrines of our faith. He has preached, from the beginnings of New Life Bible Church , the truth and has made no apologies for the gospel. Therefore it would profit you much to listen to what the Lord has to say through this teacher that He has given unto you at this time in history.

As for the allegations at hand brought against Dr. Morey, I do not know all nor do I want to know all of them. But as for the one that has been brought to my attention, that Dr. Morey left New Life Bible Church in disgrace and took monies from the church, I will relay the following truths, in order that the Church may be strengthened. Dr. Morey preached at New Life for about 21 years. We never restricted him in what he preached as the Elder and he never got entangled with the finances as this was the job of the deacons. In this time he wrote many books, spoke freely at many conferences and traveled for the purpose of furthering the Kingdom. He was pressured many times to leave this small church in Pennsylvania to take positions with bigger ministries, but never did because he waited on the Lord's timing in these matters. When the Lord was ready for him to move, He made it clear to Dr. Morey and to the local church that it was time. The church was disappointed in the news, as was to be expected, but knew that the timing was not ours to control. We, as a congregation, voted to support his ministry through prayer and finances as we could afford. We, to this day, do send a gift almost every month, as we can afford. We are a small congregation, designed that way by our King. We do pray for the ministry in California and for all of you on Wednesday evenings at our prayer meeting.

So in summary, Dr. Morey did NOT leave on bad terms at New Life Bible Church , but as a missionary sent out by the people in our congregation. We did pledge to support him in prayer and with financial gifts, that are ongoing to this day.

Do take heart in that Satan is noticing you. This means you are having an impact on the world. He hates to give up ground that he has claimed for himself. If there is anything else I can clarify please do not hesitate to let me know. This is a battle people, and the stakes are high. The good news is that we have won!

Bishop Colin P. Akridge
I have known Dr. Morey for over twenty five years and his character has always been a Christian man of integrity and honesty. He has loved the Lord his God with all his heart, mind, and soul. I have literally witnessed him his willingness to die for the Gospel. He is one of the few white brethren I know who is free from racism and all other “isms” that divide the Body of Christ. Dr. Morey has never claimed human perfection but has always said that Christ alone is his righteousness, grace alone is his plea, and by faith alone he is God’s man. The accusations against him are vile and wicked because they are not true.

Dr. George P. Hutchinson
Dr. Morey’s Handbook on Slander presents and discusses the biblical material, a plethora of passages dealing with gossip and slander beginning with its history in the Bible: Satan’s innuendo slandering the Lord God in the beginning in Eden, the slandering of Job by Satan and the patriarch’s so-called “friends”, the slandering of Moses and Aaron by Korah, the slandering of Nehemiah by Sanballat, finally the slandering of Jesus by false witnesses. Then the author discusses the primary texts of Scripture on gossip and slander: Deuteronomy 19:15-21, Psalm 15:1-3 and Psalm 25:8-10, Matthew 18:15-22, 1Timothy 5:15-21, and finally the passages in Proverbs on gossip and slander.

Dr. Morey’s handbook is full of practical and valuable counsel on recognizing and responding (or not responding) to slander: for instance, 21 signs of how to recognize a gossip monger. Last but not least, what makes this little book especially valuable, are all the contemporary illustrations of gossip and slander, along with the application of biblical principles to them. These illustrations are drawn from Dr. Bob’s long ministry and vast experience as a pastor and as a counselor of pastors (pastor pastorum) and their parishioners.

Dr. B. J. Rudge
I had the privilege of writing my dissertation on the apologetic approach of Dr. Robert Morey. Dr. Morey has a high regard for Scripture, and a strong commitment to defend the biblical faith. The body of Christ needs more scholars like Dr. Morey, who will not compromise the faith, but will contend earnestly for it. I highly recommend his ministry to all believers who want to grow in their walk with Christ and be equipped to give a reason for the hope that they have.
May God grant you the strength and grace to endure unjust criticism joyfully and without bitterness, to forgive those who insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you, and to recognize that what man intends for harm, God can use for good (Genesis 50:20). We know that God will work all your negative experiences and suffering together for good for you who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

Pastor Vijay Chandra

I have read the false, malicious slanders against you put out by so-called Christians - who do not understand the grace of God or his love. I have read their false statements and I do not agree that these slanders, which are devilish and evil inspired. In my view, these slanders and false accusations have their origin in the heart and pit of hell, where the Devil and his companions will one day will go for ever with their lies and trickery.

Brother, I respect you as a man of God who is governed by the principles of the written Word of God. I know you have great integrity, both morally and spiritually. Your testimony for the sake of the Gospel of Christ is amazing. You have stood up to defend Christianity and the Gospel from the attacks from Islam, Hindu, open theism etc. I have full confidence in you as a Pastor; head of your home, and in your testimony. The accusations against you are unethical, illogical, unwarranted, non-spiritual and immoral. I have full confidence in you.

Kathie Adler (Narrow Way Ministries)
I have known Dr. Robert Morey since the early 1980's when he referred a lady to me who was studying with Jehovah's Witnesses. Throughout the years, Dr. Morey has counseled me about my ministry, giving me wise advice from the Scriptures. Each time I spoke with him, whether it be about doctrine or how to handle certain situations, I found him to be impeccably honest and never doubted his character. His advice was always right on.

While others use different tactics to further their ministries, Dr. Morey always refers to Scripture and his Christian character is always consistent. Never at any time has he given me advice that was not in keeping with the Word of God nor have I ever doubted these past twenty eight years that he was anything but ethical in all his dealings.

Any attacks on his character are totally unfounded, but, as we all know, Jesus was attacked more than any human being and Jesus already told us we, his servants, will also be attacked. So this is no surprise. I ask that the attacks be stopped, that the character assaults cease, and that anyone who truly wants to know the real Dr. Robert Morey simply ask him themselves. Once they meet him, they will certainly change their minds. I thank God for my friendship with Dr. Morey these many years, and I count it a great privilege to know him personally.

Dr. D. James Kennedy
Dr. Robert A. Morey is an excellent speaker and writer on the subject of cults and the occult, His books are excellent resource tools on these -subjects. It is my pleasure to recommend him to churches everywhere throughout our land.

Dr. John Ankerberg
I have known Dr. Robert Morey for a number of years and welcome this opportunity to recommend him to you. Dr. Morey is a man with an excellent understanding of the historic Christian faith and a particular skill as a defender of the Faith. I heartily recommend him to you.

Dr. Herbert Ehrenstein
It is a genuine privilege for me to recommend Dr. Robert A. Morey as a competent Biblical scholar in the field of apologetics, Bible teaching and evangelism. I have known Dr. Morey for over 30 years and it has been a delight to me to see his developing a fantastic grasp of Biblical truth, and his unique ability to translate that exalted truth of God’s Word into down-to-earth, meaningful and methodical ways his audiences can make use of it.

Dr. Kevin Johnson (Mt. Carmel Ministries)
Dr. Robert Morey is one of the finest Biblical scholars in the field of comparative religious studies (apologetics) in North America . His books and presentations have been tremendously useful. I highly recommend him to you.

The above recommendations are only a few examples of the huge outpouring of support for Dr. Morey. Dr. Gleason Archer, Dr. Walter Martin, and many other well-known Christian leaders and pastors repeatedly spoke out against the slander and gossip campaigns against Dr. Morey. For example, Dr. Bob was not “thrown out by his denomination.” He is a member in good standing with the Southern Baptist Convention and anyone can contact the CA Orange SBA County office for their recommendation: 250 N. Golden Circle Dr., #101, Santa Ana, CA 92705-4022 Phone: (714) 547-5409. Yet, this lie is still on the internet to this day.

Those who have known Dr. Morey for many years repudiate the lies spread on the internet against him. Every church he founded supports him to this day. What is shameful is that some “pastors,” most of whom have never met Dr. Bob, have joined the heathen in smearing his character. They have set up websites and blogs and engaged in gossip and slander in the attempt to destroy Dr. Bob’s ministry.

Just ask yourself this question: Since no credible evidence has ever been put forward by anyone concerning false teaching or immorality and the accusations come from those who violate Deut. 19, Matt. 18, 1 Tim. 5, etc., was not Paul right when he said not to entertain such vile slander and gossip?

Abortionist Charged in Grisly Murders

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 04:51:31 GMT

January 19, 2011

Foreword by Angela Michael

This little “House of Horrors” can be added to the list of substandard slaughterhouses. Real medical professionals know that abortion is not healthcare. Rather, it is considered the “red-light district” in medical care. “Back alley” abortions and those who perform them have not gone away with the legalization of abortion through the infamous Roe vs Wade decision almost 38 years ago. It just costs more and the abortionist comes through the front door. Unsafe, common, and unregulated…

Roe vs Wade was built on lies and survives with lies and emasculated state officials who look the other way. The “back alley” abortion cover-up will continue to claim more women’s lives by the silence of those who profess to be their voice and are entrusted with their reproductive health care. Abortion has never really come back out of the alley. This is just one more serial butcher that got caught. How many more are out there?

An abortion doctor who catered to minorities, immigrants and poor women was charged with eight counts of murder in the deaths of a patient and seven babies who were born alive and then killed with scissors, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, made millions of dollars over 30 years, performing as many illegal, late-term abortions as he could, prosecutors said. State regulators ignored complaints about him and failed to visit or inspect his clinic since 1993, but no charges were warranted against them, District Attorney Seth Williams said.

Gosnell "induced labor, forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord," Williams said.

Williams said patients were subjected to squalid and barbaric conditions at Gosnell's Women's Medical Society.

Authorities went to investigate drug-related complaints at the clinic last year and stumbled on what Williams called a "house of horrors."

"There were bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building," Williams said. "There were jars, lining shelves, with severed feet that he kept for no medical purpose."

The clinic was shut down and Gosnell's medical license was suspended after the raid.

Workers, some of whom were also charged with murder, were untrained and unlicensed, including a high-school student who performed anesthesia with potentially lethal narcotics, Williams said.

Gosnell and nine other employees are in custody, authorities said.

Gosnell has been named in at least 10 malpractice suits, including one over the death of a woman who died of sepsis and a perforated uterus.

Small Victories’ Arrows Saving Lives, Continuing the Legacy

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 16:07:11 GMT

December 27th, 2010
Foreword by Angela Michael

What an awesome letter to receive a day after Christmas from a young lady that was touched by our ministry through one of our 13 arrows. It’s a joy to know that our children are seeing their parents living out their theology and making it their biography in a war zone.

One day those shining arrows will come running up over our backsides when we go down on the barbwire fence fighting valiantly for the lives of many preborn babies and their mothers in a culture of Life vs Death.

“Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.” Psalm 127:3-5

“Hi Angela,

My name is J*****, I am a friend of your daughter *******. She and I were in Madrigals together in high school and I worked at ********* for 4 years. She and I went caroling last weekend and we talked about you and the babies you've brought home recently and how adorable they are. I mentioned to her that my husband, K**, and I were considering adopting a little girl in a few years, and she said I should get in touch with you, because you might be able to help us out (we have no idea how to even get started.) I've met you once; you and your daughter and I went swimming at the pool. I believe I was pregnant at the time with my son C****, who is now 2.5 years old. We also have a 15 month old, R****.

“I wanted to let you know that I really admire what you do, and that seeing from a distance through stories from your daughter encouraged me not to give up my C ****. I was only in high school at the time that I was pregnant with him, which I'm sure you understand is a very difficult time to have a child. My (now) husband and I weren’t sure what to do, and abortion was something we thought about. But after a few weeks of talking to your daughter at work, and doing a lot of thinking (mind you, I never told your daughter I was considering this option) I decided against it. I couldn’t bear the thought of murdering the child God had blessed me with. And what a blessing he is.

“C**** is a wonderful 2.5 year old boy today, and he and his brother are the absolute light of my life. I think about what life would have been like without them a lot... missed opportunities, changed plans... but I really don’t think I'd be as happy as I am now with my 2 beautiful boys.

I hope your mission is going well, and I just wanted to let you know that you ARE doing something amazing! I saw your website today for the first time and it brought a tear to my eye. God Bless you and your family, and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebrating the most amazing birth yet!

--J*****”

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 24, 2010
Written by Angela Michael

Psalms 107:1 “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.”

Ahh...the holidays are just around the corner. In our large family they are full of traditions and bodies. : ) The anticipation is mounting as we began the ritual of picking up our college-aged children arriving back home from the airport to celebrate with their younger siblings. Thanksgiving together. I thought, “What can I say about this Thanksgiving gathering?” but the name alone says it all. “Thanks.” It’s not about 24 hour shopping at the mall, football, or the plethora of food, even though we enjoy them all way too much. It’s about giving thanks to our Creator who made this all possible. It’s about taking inventory of our many things to be thankful to the Lord for and his provision through it all. It’s about those we hold dear and surrounding ourselves with them during this time. It’s about remembering our all too much forgotten and ignored history. Why, it sometimes annoys me how we go from Halloween to Christmas and fail to see any Thanksgiving décor displayed or the mentioning of its name. The devil would love nothing more than to remove this holiday from our collective American memories.

As I gaze into our youngest babe’s face, I can’t help but reflect on how a small, devout band of non-conformist Christians were willing to travel in all kinds of inclement weather and conditions in dark, dank quarters not knowing how they were going to provide for or tend to their young children in this new land; that endured so much hardship and sacrifice because they lived, trusted, and stood on God’s covenant promises. They risked everything to separate and protect their children from ungodly practices and influences and to leave a legacy for future generations and…the providential hand of God brought them across an ocean to untrekked shores.

It was a gift from God named “Squanto,” an Indian, who befriended the Pilgrims and taught them how to survive their first horrible winter. He taught them to hunt, to fish, and to plant. He was a blessing, and they gave God thanks for him. They brought glory to God. That is why the devil hates this holiday more than any. It points to the Lord, His providential hand in our national history, and biblical principles that our nation was founded on. The devil is terrified that we might remember the manifold works of our Lord Jesus Christ and that we are beholden to Him and Him alone. That is why the devil busies himself ripping any godly reminders from our history books, public places, and schools. He busies himself trying to steal our kids and any reminders of God and His principles. The devil knows very well what will happen to him if we remember who we are and why we are here.

We must always count our blessings and remember how we came to be. As we gather and pull up a few more chairs around our festive table it’s easy to give thanks this day, but it should be everyday as we count each head, kiss another boo-boo, change another diaper, run another errand, attend another concert, unclog another toilet, dislodge another foreign object from the dog’s pallet, and laugh at ourselves when we realize we mistakenly poured the baby formula in our cup of tea instead of creamer. No wonder it tasted odd. For now, the luxury of sleep is just a thought with a newborn. But we give thanks with a grateful heart.

"Lord, I thank You for my family. Thank You for special days. Thank You for the sound of little voices and for the patter of their feet. Thank You for those childish expressions of love and for the simple things in life.”

“Count your blessings instead of your crosses
Count your gains instead of your losses
Count your joys instead of your woes
Count your friends instead of your foes
Count your smiles instead of your tears
Count your courage instead of your fears
Count your full years instead of your lean
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean
Count your health instead of your wealth
Count on God instead of yourself."

Hope Clinic Director of Nurses...QUITS!

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”
Ephesians 5:11

November 6, 2010
Written by Angela Michael

Praise the Lord, the “Name Them and Shame Them” tour has exposed another worker of iniquity inside this slaughterhouse. We have been praying for years for this young man since we first laid eyes on him at the tender age of 17. Ryan Goskie , a Granite City home-towner and former Catholic altar boy, began volunteering at this abortion mill as a deathscort and was being groomed by former long time education director and assistant counselor, Allison Hile, until her firing three years ago. Ryan was the only male employee inside Hope Clinic surgical abortion center other than the abortionist.

Recently he has been sighted at the St .Clair County Regional Educational offices in Illinois . During the past few weeks we have been asking the public to please pray for him. We posted a sign on our ultrasound van with this request in front of the abortion mill where he worked killing babies. In the past he has boasted of his ability to train residents over in St. Louis at the Barnes Jewish Washington University School of Medicine on how to dismember little babies in the womb. We have held several prayer vigils witnessing to the public--and the hospital--of this abomination concerning medical residents having to train to do abortions at this hospital and teaching institution.

Reportedly, Ryan has taken a position at a local hospital, hopefully saving lives rather than taking lives. “Lord, create in Ryan a new heart. Guide his hands to save and preserve all life. We pray for the medical community and workers of iniquity. Lord, may they cease to do evil, learn to do good, seek justice for the oppressed, and defend the fatherless. God, help us to appreciate the wonder and beauty of Your creation, realizing that they too have a purpose and a destiny. In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen.”

“And if a wicked man turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live by doing so.” Ezekiel 33:19.

“I Was There When Twins Were Saved!”

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 17:10:43 GMT

October 30, 2010

Hi Angela and Daniel,

I just wanted to praise God for your van and the ultra sound you have in there that saves babies from being aborted, and especially for the twins whose lives were saved today! Thank you for coming over and letting us know for sure, as I was praying, crying, and watching the entire time, (over by Larry and the group beside the clinic, praying the rosary) and saw the young couple go in there and the man from the abortion clinic (escort) go chasing them down! If we would have done that to them, we’d have been arrested and thrown in jail. Thanks be to God we are a calm and prayerful group who doesn’t get angry and upset like they do.

I sure hope and pray you will post it soon on your website and also tell Shawn Carney and David Bereit from 40 Days for Life that twins were saved today. You do get his daily email, correct? I wanted to email Shawn and let him know, but was wondering if you wanted to tell him…. Such a huge blessing and a grace from God to have that van there with you to do the ultra sound, I know, all in God’s plan. Praising Him constantly today for being a witness and a prayer warrior for LIFE!

Keep up the excellent work and prayers!

God’s peace and blessing upon the Michael’s family,

Jan Brennan

Abuse of Power in Granite City

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 17:07:24 GMT

October 30, 2010

“The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.” ~Edmund Burke

Meet the Hope Abortion Mill Meter-Maid, Lance Reynolds

Now meet home-schooling mom and prayer warrior Christa Owens and some of her six children.

She looks pretty dangerous doesn’t she?

She is so dangerous that Granite City Police Officer Reynolds decided to embark with lights flashing in full pursuit of Mrs. Owens (who had just left the abortion mill) to give her a $20.00 parking ticket for being parked halfway in the yellow area. This was all very upsetting to her young children. When faithful pro-lifer Stan came to her aid, meter-maid Reynolds threatened to arrest him for jaywalking and ordered Stan to stay on the curb. This campaign of intimidation and writing $120.00-$750.00 tickets against the Small Victories Ultrasound Van and their peaceful supporters is outrageous.

This past Tuesday, the Ultrasound Van was parked 80% within the parking zone. Only four minutes after parking, Hope abortion mill employee Ryan Goskie summoned the Granite City Police. Meter-maid Reynolds pulled alongside the van and began writing another outrageously priced parking ticket. When the Small Victories director attempted to back the van up another foot, meter-maid Reynolds sprang from his car, thrust open the ultrasound van door, grabbed her arm, and threatened to have the van towed. We explained, “We’re not going anywhere; we’re backing up.” There were witnesses to this account and they, too, thought this was over-kill. And this meter-maid has been issued a firearm?! God help us!

Isaiah 1. Woe to this once great city, it has now become a desolate town full of innocent blood and injustice. Its officials rule as roaring lions and take no correction. They oppress the righteous and take bribes. They deprive the poor and innocent of justice. They call evil good and good evil. Its inhabitants have become slaves to complacency and have fallen under a curse of what is evil. The shepherds are leading their flocks astray and their foes have become their masters.

When God’s remnant stands against evil and is making huge inroads by saving hundreds of babies and taking innocent blood away from Satan, they are a target. The devil will come hard after you for righteousness’ sake and you will be persecuted. In the past two years of our 18 year daily ministry on the streets of the City of Slaughter , we have seen hundreds of babies saved and adopted; we have seen conversions of employees, moms, and dads from this abortion mill. On a typical Saturday, Hope abortion mill would kill approximately 45-60 babies. This past Saturday we witnessed the killings of 15 babies and the saving of five babies scheduled to be slaughtered, including a set of twins. God is rejoicing and the devil is angry. Our prayers and daily witness have been powerful.

The ultrasound van is being targeted as it has been a source of truth to the abortion-bound mothers and their accomplices. It was so effective that this past Saturday, a Hispanic couple pulled onto the abortion mill lot and listened to us as we called over, “No aborto, no aborto.” They looked over at the Special Forces with the free help sign and came inside. Little did we know that all HELL would break loose as the portly male deathscort would pursue them and actually attempted to break into our ultrasound van where we were performing an ultrasound. Alleluia! We were able to view a set of 8 week old twins as the prayer warriors used their bodies to block the deathscorts from grabbing the door handle and entering our pregnancy van. “This is private property; you have no right to go inside, ” they told the deathscorts.

The devil was fuming. Yet, this shows you the arrogance of those who love death. The abortion mill brazenly thinks it can walk right inside our life-saving van without a thought to the contrary, whereas if a pro-lifer walked up to the slaughterhouse doors and attempted to go inside they would be arrested on the spot, hauled off by local Gestapo, and sitting in a cell at the “Granite City Hanoi Hilton.” You see, there is a double-standard in this City of Slaughter where injustice reigns. For instead of “protecting and serving” equally, local law enforcement, through harassment and intimidation, has chosen to side with the abortion mill against our ministry and anyone who would dare to stand with us in the cause of saving the innocent. Understood, the abortion mill brings a lot of bloody revenue into this deplorable town. Not the steel mill, but the baby killing mill keeps this city afloat financially. It’s called “blood-money.”

Just last week during the Fall 40 Days for Life campaign, Christa and her children were praying on the front sidewalk when a young girl came back out of the abortion mill and decided to keep her baby. She came into Christa’s arms for a loving embrace and heard words of encouragement and thankfulness from this precious prayer warrior and her dear children. BAM! Little did Christa know then, but she instantly became a target of the devil. She just helped save a life. Like so many, she didn’t stay at home or in her comfortable office and fight the battle for little boys and girls destined to be slaughtered from her lazy-boy; she was with us in the trenches. That makes one dangerous in the fight for life, good versus evil. We should all be living that dangerously: living in such a way that through love, commitment, and simply “being there” we are a threat to Satan and his kingdom of evil until that final day when we hear, “Well done my good and faithful servant.” Keep praying for a conversion of hearts, especially Officer Reynolds’ and those who take part in killing babies; but until that final day, we will see you at the gates.

It's a Boy!

Isaac Daniel Malachi Michael

September 2010

Written by Angela Michael

Daniel and Angela Michael of Highland are pleased to announce the arrival of their 13 ^th child, a son, on September 29 ^th , 2010 weighing in at 5lbs, 14 oz., 19 inches long.

He joins sisters Jaclyn, Erika, Gretchen, Savanah, Mia-Alexandra, Arielle, Taylor, Isabella, and Hannah-Noelle, and brothers Zack, Gabriel, and Hunter Michael.

We first met this precious little boy when he was only 27.5 weeks old in his mother’s womb. Had his grandmother possessed the money, his fate would have been ending up dismembered in a bio-hazard bag.

Jamie came out of the abortion mill sad. Her mother told her to get in the car. They pulled to the end of the parking lot where Daniel met them. The mother of this young pregnant girl expressed her anger at the abortion mill staff. She didn’t have enough money with her to kill her grandchild. The mill was requesting $2500.00 to carry out the partial-birth abortion on this little one. She told Daniel, “They told me to go get more money and they would do it. Or, I can drive to Chicago and they will do it up there.” She replied to the abortion mill staff, "If I don’t have the money here, how will I have the money up in Chicago !”She was furious. She looked at Daniel and asked, "How am I going to do it? I already work two jobs trying to raise my family…”” We can help you," he replied. “Have you thought about adoption?”

Daniel calmed her down, “It’s going to be okay. We can help you with the adoption of this baby.” She replied, “Yes…that’s what we’ll do.” Daniel said, “Call this number and talk with my wife. Her name is Angela…” They pulled off the parking lot.

It wasn’t an hour later when the phone rang and my conversation with Jamie and her mother began and so, too, the journey of this predestined child. Little did we know that this was our baby.

Jamie and her mother returned the following morning and came inside our Ultrasound Van where we were able to take the first picture of little Isaac. He was approximately 27.5 weeks, presumably a boy. We passed on numerous profiles of various couples seeking to adopt a child.

Over the weeks, we ensured transportation for Jamie’s pre-natal visits to her physician as well as proper fitting clothing and new shoes. We got to know this family on a personal basis over the following two months.

One day while going over the last set of adoption seeking couples’ profiles and visits, Jamie and her mother exited the ultrasound van; they slowly walked to their car when Jamie started crying to her mother. Daniel caught up with them to find out what was wrong as I was inside the van preparing to scan another abortion-bound woman who changed her mind this day. As I helped the save into our van, I caught Daniel from the corner of my eye running back to the van as if to tell me something. I stepped out and met him, “What’s wrong?” I asked. Daniel replied with tears in his eyes, “She wants you to adopt her baby. “ And the rest is history.

Over the remaining weeks, we still tried other options we could help with and provided other couples, but this young girl and her mother knew our hearts and trusted us with their baby. ”O God, make us a willing heart to protect and provide. How can we turn down a blessing?...If this is meant to be, then God will supply our needs and make a way.”

At 3:45 a.m. the call came. “It’s time,” her mother said. “We’re on our way.“ Eleven hours and four pushes later, we helped deliver our newborn son and placed him on his birthmother’s stomach as his tiny frame struggled to cry. Tears were streaming down our faces as we heard and witnessed a saved life being born into the world, realizing how close he came to being one of those graphic signs we place around the abortion mill and hold in the Granite City parades. We were broken, broken as the scriptures in Malachi 4:6 came to mind. “He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers.” The timing of this event couldn’t have been anymore chaotic as we were preparing for our annual fall banquet, but God was still in control. And we knew this birthmother, like so many, could change her mind at any time, so we went in full throttle with guarded hearts.

In the hospital, we persuaded Jamie to hold her son and try and bond with him. At first she hesitated, but with some help she took him from our arms; he was so tiny. Honestly, it was a little frightening as he resembled the graphic signs of aborted babies. “No matter what you choose to do Jamie, you will always be his mother. Your blood runs through his veins.”

The night before she left the hospital, Jamie’s mother looked at Isaac from the nursery window as Jamie held him one more time. We bonded over the next days in the hospital. He began taking his formula, but was still barely 5 lbs. We were given a new mom wheelchair escort marking our new beginning as we brought this bundle of joy home.

There were sleepless nights and endless arms of support as we all took shifts. Our extension of ministry volunteers also kicked in to help outside the abortion mill so that no pregnant girl was left behind. Reverend Flip Benham, director of OSA/OR flew in and we pulled together to welcome our son at our fall fundraising banquet. He was a hit and a surprise to not only Flip, but to many in attendance. To our surprise, a recent couple we helped to adopt a saved baby came to our banquet to speak on our behalf, to show their deep appreciation for our ministry, and their deep re-energized commitment to LIFE. They blessed us not only with their testimony, but we were able to visit and hold their 8 month old little boy that was saved from abortion. It was awesome!

Flip spoke on abortion, homosexuality, Islam, and how the church is not fighting it, but rather appeasing it. The Republican Party is not going to fight the battle over abortion and never will the Tea Party. Their focus is on the economy, not saving little unborn lives.

Flip commented, “It’s not often that I get to be at an event where there are saved babies, let alone THREE! What a ministry. We should all be standing with Daniel and Angela at these gates of hell.” The song “Changing the World” came to mind as the Mascoutah youth group (who blessed us with a very generous donation from donut sales at their church) stepped up when Pastor Flip had somewhat of an “altar call”. The kids were great! They were honest enough to step up and admit they are not in their Bibles as much as they should be and wanted to take the challenge Flip presented.

Thank you Jesus! “Keep changing the world, changing the world, step up, step up,” as the lyrics encourage all of God’s people. All it takes is one person to make a difference. For now, the cobwebs will wait!

“Something here is wrong; there are children without homes. But we just move along to take care of our own. There’s so much suffering just outside our door; a cry so deafening we just can’t ignore.” Right here in our own communities, children are suffering and babies are dying.

“To all the people who are fighting for the broken, all the people who keep holding on to love, all the people who are reaching for the lonely: keep changing the world.” Keep Changing the World by Mikeschair http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAtal8ZV6eo

“O Father, with my whole heart I thank You and I praise You for this precious little life You have entrusted us with. I lift this child up to You, Lord, and pray that he will seek Your heart. Thank You Lord for restoring the lost simplicity in our lives, and for the opportunity to provide comfort to one of Your little ones. Thank you for encouraging us to ‘step up.’ In Jesus’ name we pray.”

Small Victories Marches with Alveda King

September 2010

Under beautiful, crisp autumn skies we gathered at the steps of Blessed Sacrament Cathedral in Springfield, Illinois along with Bishop Paprocki and Alveda King, niece of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., to stand against evil and march for life. We held onto our sign: "Babies are a blessing" and pushed our stroller for LIFE.

Abortion Protesters March to Springfield Planned Parenthood
by Molly Beck

The State Journal-Register

Singing “We Shall Overcome,” hundreds of people marched through the streets of downtown Springfield Friday afternoon led by an heir to the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.- not for race relations, but to protest what the walkers said they see as the U.S. ’s foremost civil rights infringement: abortion.

Alveda King, a niece of the slain civil rights leader and an anti-abortion activist, spent her second day in Springfield with Bishop Thomas John Paprocki at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. They asked about 400 people in attendance to help efforts to curtail abortions in the United States .

“Will you be able to say that you defended life?” King asked during a prayer service Paprocki held at the cathedral. “Let our dream that every man, every woman, every girl…that we do all we can.”

Paprocki’s ecumenical service promoted a peaceful march to Planned Parenthood’s health clinic at 1000 E. Washington St. Marchers included groups from area parochial schools.

Charlie Brown, 17, one of four Sacred Heart-Griffin students asked to participate in the service, read a quote from Martin Luther King asking for those in attendance to be concerned with “the nonviolent affirmation of the sacredness of all human life.”

Brown, who is black, said the significance of the day’s event for him was the promotion of anti-abortion efforts, not Alveda King’s appearance.

King, who lives in Atlanta, GA, spoke about her uncle’s, father’s, and grandfather’s work as pastors and said she knew they would support her years of work to end abortion.

On Thursday, Planned Parenthood released a statement saying King is using her uncle’s name to “further her position in the anti-abortion movement to the detriment of the health and well-being of women.”

The walkers headed out on foot about 2 p.m., going east on Lawrence Avenue and Cook Street, north on 11 ^th Street , and then west on Washington Street . The group, some holding signs, settled in front of the clinic with a black pickup truck as home base.

Paprocki and King addressed the crowd again, asking Planned Parenthood to “bear witness to the truth” and offer women who seek their services the option of seeing an ultrasound.

“You say you want to give (patients) a clear choice- let them see their babies,” Paprocki said.

Pam Sutherland, vice president for public policy for Planned Parenthood of Illinois, responded that the organization does just that.

“It just shows how clueless the bishop is and Alveda King is about medical services that we provide,” she said. “Any patient who is considering abortion gets an ultrasound, and we ask if they would like to see it.

“I ask (Paprocki) to work with us to help reduce the need for abortion by making sure women have access to comprehensive birth control,” she said.

Sutherland said she also was concerned that Springfield police hadn’t notified clinic officials in advance of the rally, which blocked traffic to the Planned Parenthood building.

“Ninety percent of our services are general health-care services, so I find it interesting that (protesters) would want to protest and
block access to our patients,” Sutherland said. “They blocked women from getting good health care services today.”

Police deputy chief of criminal investigations Cliff Buscher said police are not obligated to notify businesses of protest marches, but to provide traffic control.

Angela’s note: If Ms. Sutherland's ultrasound practices are anything comparable to Hope abortion mill in Granite City , they ONLY show the mother the crown of the unborn baby's head in order to calculate how much to charge for the abortion and how many days it will take to kill the baby. They don't show little fingers, toes, or a profile so the abortion-bound mother doesn't fall in love with her unborn baby and walk out. Also, abortion is not "health care;" it's the deliberate, violent destruction of a human being. It's the most unnatural act of a woman's reproductive and mental health. Go to your local courthouses where abortion mills exist and look up all the lawsuits filed against the facility or the abortionist. Safe & legal?

“BLOOD-GUILT”

Truth is Not Hidden at the Granite City Labor Day Parade 2010

September 2010

Written by Angela Michael

“For He who avenges blood remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted. Psalm 9:12

What better a forum than the annual socialist parade to expose the abomination this town coexists with, and to remind the politicians and union workers, “This is what you support.”

“I don’t agree with it…but why do we have to see it?” commented one woman walking by not wanting to share in the responsibility of being her brother’s keeper.

Our remnant arrived and we noticed that our restricted area was no more. Praise God! It was a “Book of Daniel” moment; we were literally once again going in the lion’s den. We opened in prayer and decided on signs to get the message out to this City of Slaughter ; then we split our team and took dominion on both sides of the festival about to begin rolling down the parade route. We were the messengers standing in the gap hoping hearts would be stirred and scales removed from this apathetic town where child sacrifice has existed for over 36 years. Granite City ’s police chief greeted us and we engaged in some chit chat. Proclaimer Helen thanked the police for their protection as they stood along their post by us.

In years past, certain parade vehicles tried to cover our signs up to hide the message we brought, but last year God inspired us to hold banners up above the prejudiced vehicles attempting to block us. Praise God, we did it again this year. We brought more powerful banners. And yes, Granite City parade officials, paramedics, ambulances, even a fire truck tried to conceal the mighty warriors, but failed. The truth went forth. Participants, marchers, laborers, and politicians could not turn their faces from the ugly truth as they have in years past as our message was on both sides of the streets.

There was a lot of reaction, both good and bad. Some people were displeased and some let us know. Only one woman on a float tried to hit us with hard candy as she threw it directly at our faces.

This year we received even more positive acknowledgements from the marchers and participants. Some were unaware of the human slaughterhouse only two blocks over from us. Many thanked us for being a witness at this parade and gave us a thumbs up as they passed us. Our banners read: “Stop Abortion in Granite City ,” and , “A Nation That Kills its Own Children is a Nation Without Hope.” Across the street were the graphic signs and a banner which read: “I am an American. America, it’s time to protect our children,” picturing a 20 week old baby in the womb. On average, this is the age at which most babies are being aborted in Granite City , a no restrictions, late-term abortion mill site.

Since this socialist parade in the past has promoted “American made,” addressed child labor laws, and integrated more of the Black American population into this event, we geared our signs and messages towards them. There were fewer Black Americans marching in the parade this year compared to years past, but those in attendance could not help but gravitate their eyes to the signs Cathy held onto, even as some knuckleheads in their parade vehicles tried to block our presentation. One read: “#1 killer of Black Americans is ABORTION. www.blackgenocide.com .” Even a decorated vehicle carrying an Elvis impersonator pointed to our signs and was “ALL SHOOK UP”.

The float full of empty rocking horses was prophetic. Laborers were displaying their handiwork, but we asked, “Where have all the children gone that should be on those rocking horses?” We have allowed a child slayer in our midst for over 36 years. We, God’s people, have given our approval by the silence of our lips and the lack of action in this community. Throwing money at a dormant pregnancy center doesn’t get you off the hook either. The officials, the pastors, and the community as a whole have allowed the devil to roam and shed blood throughout the streets of this City of Slaughter . While the Mayor and city fathers are building monuments to themselves and the churches are getting fatter, this blood-soaked city is dying from the sin of bloodguilt.

Granite City, let alone our nation, has become defiled by the shedding of innocent blood. This innocent blood demands atonement. We are the messengers, the Ezekiels, the Jeremiahs standing in the gap for the innocent, warning the inhabitants that there are murderers among us. Their city is responsible for purging itself of the guilt of shedding innocent blood. Deuteronomy 21:1-9 . There is a cost to atonement. Innocent blood has a voice; that voice cries out from the ground for justice. Genesis 4:10 “…Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.”

The elders in this town cannot say that they did not know of it or did not see it. It’s in the plain sight of most of the churches in Granite City ; a clear shot across from the only hospital in this community. They cannot wash their hands as did Pontius Pilate in Jesus’ crucifixion and murder.

The parade primarily consisted of laborers, politicians, and very few floats. After the last horse trotted by us, we gathered to close in prayer asking God to stir the hearts in this city into action, and to remove the scales from the eyes of this apathetic town. The culpability of the slaughter of innocents and the responsibility for direct action multiplies. We are to, “Have nothing to do with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:11 . Inaction is indifference. Silence kills. Bloodguilt requires a reckoning with the Lord. Only through our true repentance, prayers, and offerings can God expunge the innocent blood from our streets. He then can bestow forgiveness upon this city and heal our land.

Hope Clinic Hires New Abortionist

BREAKING NEWS

Former felon abortionist Allen Palmer Jr. TERMINATED!

“…it’s easy to assume that women are treated poorly. Some are, some aren't. Dr Palmer hates when he has to do a procedure on an overweight woman, and makes it very known. He is also known to make terrible remarks about the patients themselves TO THEM. Talk about awkward when you are holding a 21 year old girls hand and she is going through the assembly line.” - former Hope employee

It appears Erin King of Chicago is the new baby exterminator at Hope abortion Clinic in Granite City , Illinois . Ms. King has been spotted there on several occasions. Deathcamp director, health spa owner, and NAF board President Sally Burgess has been searching the country for seven years to find a new female baby butcher after the terminations of recent training abortionist Lisa “The Ripper” Memmel and Amy Whittaker, both from Chicago , Illinois . It took the courts 18 months to locate and serve abortionist-in-training Lisa Memmel with a court summons of alleged negligence and medical battery occurring at Hope Clinic. She was hiding out in San Francisco , California .

Chief abortionist Yogendra Shah and his partner in crime, convicted felon Allen Palmer, are getting up in age. They have been the subject of numerous lawsuits over the years that have prompted Ms. Burgess to look for a new abortionist. Abortionist Palmer has not been sighted at this slaughterhouse for six weeks. There are undercurrents inside this mill telling us that employees don’t get along with him and his abrasive treatment of the patients, especially offensive and rude comments he makes during the abortion procedure on overweight women. Employees have witnessed Palmer becoming physical with the patient once they are sedated. That is some “bedside manner.” But the good news is, abortions at Hope Clinic have dropped from an all-time high of 13,000 down to a new low of approximately 3,000 in the past year. Read: “The Death Rattle of Hope Clinic” .

The abortion mill and industry as a whole cannot find professional people who want to enter the so-called glamorous world of baby killing. Read: “The Abortion Industry is Crumbling” . Sally Burgess reinforces this in her own words throughout the article titled “Where to Pass the Torch?” written by a New York Times journalist. The term “back-alley abortion” remains; it has never ended. It just costs more. Legalized abortion may have saved some butchers from going to jail, but the persona is the same. It did nothing to change the perception. Abortionists remain the scum of the medical community.

King graduated in 2003 with a Doctorate of Medicine from Washington University in St. Louis , Missouri where currently in conjunction with Barnes-Jewish Hospital , residents are being trained to perform abortions. We have exposed this hypocrisy on several occasions outside their institutions with the help of conservative officials, pro-life leaders, and several church groups. King also currently is employed as an OB/GYN at Progressive Care for Women located in Chicago , Illinois delivering babies.

“Abortion is the dirty work of our field. The sad truth is that the people who moonlight at the clinics are grade-B doctors . They’re not the cream of the crop. And it’s not because they’re committed. It’s because they can’t find steady work”. ~unidentified pro-abort ob/gyn, NY Times Magazine

Granite City 's Hope Abortion Clinic Violates HIPAA Laws

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 16:36:12 GMT

Written by Angela Michael

August 2010

Nahum 3:1 "Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!"

On Saturday, July 31 ^st , the Midwest 's largest, late-term abortion mill released personal medical information to the public. Abortion mills, in particular Hope Clinic, have been exposed for being unsafe, unsanitary, and unregulated. Now medical information is at risk inside this 2 million dollar state of the art chop shop.

Not only do women need to worry about their personal safety, but they also have to worry about clinic staff releasing their personal medical information. “Jennifer” from Kansas found out Saturday at the Hope Clinic in Granite City , Illinois that they cannot keep personal medical information private.

After she came out of the Hope Clinic on Saturday morning, a Clinic escort shouted to people standing on the sidewalk, "She's not pregnant!" The escort then took “Jennifer's” picture with her cell phone. We intercepted “Jennifer” as she pulled off the property to see if we could help her as she was visibly upset after hearing an escort scream her medical condition to total strangers. She said, "I'm calling the cops! She took my picture and released my medical info to you people out here. Why would she do that?"

About fifteen minutes later, Officer M. Maue of the Granite City Police Department came and questioned “Jennifer” about what happened. He then gave her his badge number, pointed to Small Victories director Angela Michael, and said, "These people know me," and told her to go inside the Clinic and get a form to file a HIPAA report. Another futile diversion, as Hope Clinic is its own kingdom and polices itself. They use the local law enforcement as their whipping boys. Deb Wiehardt, assistant director, was on duty, but the executive director was called in to do damage control. Sally Burgess said, "None of our escorts would ever release medical information about any patient." There were several witnesses to verify that they heard this statement made by the escort. As a result, “Jennifer” is filing a complaint with the Illinois Division of Professional Regulation. The HIPAA privacy rule "provides federal protections for personal health information held by covered entities and gives patients an array of rights with respect to that information." ( www.hhs.gov )

A few years ago, the Hope Clinic was sued for a similar debacle as an employee was terminated for releasing medical information concerning a pregnant woman who came for an abortion to her former boyfriend.

Angela and Daniel Michael of Small Victories talked with two abortion-bound women who saved their babies this day outside of Hope Clinic. One was eight weeks pregnant and another woman who changed her mind is coming back this week for an ultrasound.

Small Victories Ministry is a Christian based organization with the help of their twelve children, and has led the battle to fight abortion by pioneering the ultrasound movement outside abortion mills. We are there every day the mill is in operation. We are a "window to the womb" with a mobile pregnancy outreach equipped with ultrasound, baby supplies, literature, adoption profiles and information, lawyers and physician referrals. Over 3,600 babies have been saved from abortion with 36 of these babies having been adopted. Currently, we have two babies that were saved from abortion, that are up for adoption.

The Death Rattle of Hope Clinic

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 16:33:16 GMT

June 2010

The Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill in Granite City , Illinois , where once over 13,104 babies were executed annually; now, less than 4,160 in the past year.

God is giving us the victory over this once bustling abortion mill. The murder capital of the Midwest is being reduced to almost nothing. When Small Victories first started its daily ministry over 18 years ago, this Mecca of the Midwest killed between 300-350 babies weekly.

At the height of this chop shop killing spree, we documented on one particular Saturday morning in 2002 approximately 82 clients; most inside and quite a few outside of this slaughterhouse waiting in their vehicles to be serviced. One Black American woman, who was 20 weeks pregnant, answered me when I inquired, “Why are you all sitting in your cars?” She told us there was an occupancy law and only 65 people could be inside this abortion clinic at a time; so almost twenty of the scheduled abortion clients were waiting on the parking lot in their cars. Unbelievable.

This past week only 40 abortions were performed. The abortion mill used to do that many in one day alone. Lawsuit after lawsuit is causing this mill to bleed. There is a constant employee turnover and they are existing on a skeleton crew at this posting. Hope Clinic for Women has been trying desperately to find a new abortionist for 7 years and can’t do it! Praise the Lord! Also, we have had several personal conversions of former pro-choice employees. One in particular was recently the only licensed nurse. She blindsided me as we were praying, placed her arm around me, and whispered in my ear, “Thank you, Angela. This is my last day. Your ministry has been a powerful witness to me and others. I’m going off to do what real nurses should be doing.” She hugged me, walked off the premises, and never returned.

This past week, 8 babies were saved from abortion and we performed 5 on-site ultrasounds on abortion-bound mothers. 3,650 babies have been saved since January 2000 and 36 of these babies have been put up for adoption. We currently have 2 saved babies up for adoption that are due in September and December. Matthew 7:16 “By their fruit you will know them.”

So, what has caused this decrease in abortions? Not one law has been passed. Even though we have parental notification on the books here in Illinois , this law, like so many others, is not being enforced. It’s hung up in court again. But God is faithful. He answers prayers. Prayers change things.

These are the frontlines of the battle. This is where the rubber meets the road. Jesus did not wait for the lost and needy to come into his office; He met them where they were at. He went into the streets. The battle against abortion will never be won in the halls of Congress. It can only be won in the streets where children are dying. We must fight it from the bottom up, not from the top down. As the victory line approaches, we must run “through” the tape. In seeing the end, as this baby killing mill draws it’s last breath, we must not let down our effort. Therefore, we run through the tape and onto the next, in keeping mind these are small victories that lead to huge ones.

St. Louis Pridefest 2010

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 16:30:32 GMT

June 2010

“God gave them over in their sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another, they exchanged the truth of God for a lie.” Romans 1:24

In sweltering heat and sun with a heat index of 107 degrees this two day event drew an approximate crowd of 85,000 including supporters, same-sex couples and revelers. On Saturday commitment ceremonies and a pet parade was the draw. The weekend-long party culminated Sunday with the 90 minute parade full of the usual ultra-liberal gay churches, gay bars, gay politicians, and political supporters of gay rights. It would not be the Pridefest parade without the baby killers and the anti-family groups such as NARAL Missouri and Planned Parenthood.

This year there were some additions along our way into the park. We passed an Islamic center which was open. It sat on the edge of this park’s entrance. Last year organizers added the barricades, so it was most difficult to give an open rebuke to the Honorable and Catholic Mayor Francis Slay, who is a gay-rights supporter.

However, to our disappointment there was a sizable group of law enforcement marching; some, leading this debacle, which drew the loudest of cheers. There was also a notable surge of African Americans participating in the parade as drag queens, cabbana boys, marchers, and on the sidelines viewing. If only they realized between immorality, violence on the streets, violence in the womb, and disease that the Black race is self destructing. The white race is not far behind; they just have more population to go through. Some of the corporate sponsors included Macy’s, Monsanto, Barnes Jewish Hospital, and Glaceau Vitamin Water, to name a few.

During the parade there was quite an amount of space between floats going by so our attention went to those around us. I really picked up on the female twosome sitting beside me. One of the girls was a “cutter”. Both of her arms were scarred from her wrists to her elbows with perfect vertical and horizontal slices. Pain. She was full of pain and crying out by slicing her arms. Some of the scars looked old; she had been doing this for awhile. Most homosexuals in the gay community are hurting, full of pain, and looking for love in all the wrong places. Why do they consume so much alcohol? To numb themselves in submission to Satan.

Somewhere lost in the parade was this year’s theme of “going green,” and by the looks of things the only thing green was the nausea coming up the back of my throat at the sights. Nearly naked men (some in green briefs, some in loin cloths) were gyrating, drinking alcohol, and holding one another. What really broke our hearts were the very young children marching behind these floats. Children don’t stand a chance. They are being indoctrinated younger and younger. Schools, Planned Parenthood, and the homosexual agenda are spoon feeding our kids immorality and rebellion at an alarming rate. They think they make better parents than those who are raising and footing the bills of their minor children. These four, five, and six year olds looked bewildered in this parade. What a confusing message this exhibition sent to these young children. So troubling…

An oriental woman sitting next to me turned to me and was blushing at the sight of the next entry in the parade: a very large group of approximately 300 teens was descending upon us. Loud and proud, they were marching in support of being gay. The woman said, “I’m not used to all this. You should of seen them last weekend. I live over there,” and she pointed to the Asian section of the Tower Grove community. “There were hundreds of them riding on bikes, NAKED! I have never seen anything like that,” she said. “Consider yourself blessed that they have clothes on today.”

All kinds of people were at this event. From our perch we viewed some men carrying a large sign which read: “911 was an inside job!” and they went inside the park. There was a potpourri of a little bit of everything here today. We recognized several of the deathscorts and employees from Planned Parenthood in St. Louis and Hope slaughterhouse in Granite City marching both in support of gay rights and killing babies. Both go hand in hand; both serve the same master: the devil. They detest children but love pets. Both are sin and both hate God. It is another form of rebellion.

Once inside the park, there was an abundance of beer booths, food vendors, and basically the same Pridefest boots offering: free screenings for HIV, blood pressure checks, Pridefest gear, glitter, glow in the dark condoms, and sign up sheets for equality and gay rights. Planned Parenthood had the same sign up sheets to keep killing babies legal. We passed one booth full of gay night club information dating services and photography, but a sign on the table really caught my eye. It stated “FREE PORN BEHIND TABLE.” I walked a few steps, then turned back to make sure I read it right. Yes, I did. Is this what PRIDE is all about? SEX, SEX, and naked men running around in their underwear if that? Not many “going green” booths inside this year’s Pridefest, except that green feeling in the bottom of our stomachs. Women were sporting “flat-tops,” sports bras, and Bermuda shorts. Everyone was tattooed from the top of their shoulders to their feet. The smell of alcohol permeated the already stifling air.

All we could think was, “Folks, this country is in trouble!” The family and any sense of decency, morality and values are under attack. Between the filth and immorality being pumped into our homes and the indoctrination of our children through the schools and Planned Parenthood, Satan is stealing our kids. Is it any wonder we see so much rebellion coming from our youth? So too, is this debacle. It is another slap in God’s face. The homosexual churches would have us think God rewrote the Bible. God IS always speaking, but He didn’t put a comma where a period is.

There is a reason why God calls us to attend this event when the Church of America basically sticks its head in the sand. We are our brothers’ keeper. We don’t want to see them die in their sin. We cannot enable them to slowly kill themselves with drugs, alcohol, depression disease or even suicide. We must love them enough to lovingly tell and share the truth of the consequences if they don’t turn from their sinful lifestyle. Scripture tells us that the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth with their wickedness. That is what we are seeing. God has handed them over to a reprobate mind. That is what is happening in our society. But God is also looking for His chosen to cry out against the injustices of our day and to stand for righteousness until He returns and destroys those who would not listen and do His will. “How long Lord?” we ask. In Habakkuk 1:5 the Lord answers, “Just watch and be utterly amazed. I’m going to turn this world upside down.”

Until the Lord returns we, His chosen, must stand firm for righteousness, seek the Lord, take dominion and possess the land, and continue to be blameless so that the Lord can use us to do His will. As long as the Church in America sticks her head in the sand, the virtuous, moral fabric on which our country’s greatness was built upon will continue to rapidly erode until nothing remains. What will be left for our children?

“Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, He gave them over to a depraved mind to do what not ought to be done” Romans 1:28

God have mercy!

1 Thessalonians 3:9 “How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?”

I once read that anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy. How true those words ring, particularly during this time of year when the thoughts of many revolve around picking out the perfect cards to honor the men who most influenced them throughout their lives: their daddies.

Being a daddy is an up-at-dawn, seven-day-a-week, tiresome, yet exhilarating lifetime commitment producing more joy, satisfaction, and rewards than anything that can be accomplished during our life.

It’s sometimes thankless, yet always appreciated; sometimes scary, yet always a comfort; sometimes painful, yet always pleasing; sometimes difficult, yet always helpful; sometimes exhausting, yet always admired.

Somehow, true daddies are able to navigate the wide and seemingly endless chasm of fear and uncertainty to lead our future generations down the rocky paths of life. A difficult task, these men have the emotional fortitude to pass on their virtues, morals, strengths, and wisdom to their children who, although may not always express it, couldn’t fare near as well without that loving guidance.

Daddies not only share in the miraculous moment of conception, but are active participants throughout the gestation period and birth of the tiny miracle they helped create. The first moment a daddy gazes into the eyes of his newborn baby, he makes a secret oath deep within his soul, pledging that no matter how steep the grade, how deep the valleys, how insurmountable the odds, he’ll continue to play a major role in the life of his child.

Daughters learn how to relate to men, and how men relate to women from their daddies. Sons learn how to be men and how to treat women from their daddies. Then there are the daily, wonderful gifts daddies give their children that are the stuff that memories are made of: standing on your daddy’s feet as he whirled you around the living room in time with some outdated slow song; setting the example of reverence, Dad was the tallest in the church pew on Sundays with you sitting anxiously next to him; learning how to catch a football while your daddy took time off on a Tuesday afternoon to throw a ball with you in the backyard; the voice of your daddy cheering louder than anyone else in the bleachers your first time at the plate in little league; the safe feeling you always got when your daddy would tell you stories to soothe you during thunderstorms in the middle of the night; and the bittersweet look in your daddy’s eyes as he walked you down that long aisle which led you into the arms of the man with whom you would spend the rest of your life.

In honor of all the daddies who’ve given so much of themselves to their children without expectation or motive, have a wonderful Father’s Day, and know that your love and care never go unnoticed. “A successful man isn’t always a good father, but a good father is always a successful man.”

St. Louis Susan Komen Race Turns Violent “Beat Me” in St. Louie

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 16:21:56 GMT

Gentle pro-life Christians attached as the truth is exposed at the largest national Race for the Cure fundraiser

Written by Angela Michael

June 12, 2010

“The truth is incontrovertible; malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.” ~Winston Churchill

Back in 1904, St. Louis was the setting for the World’s Fair where delicatessens were being discovered and the song “Meet Me in St. Louis ” was born. Today that song was being remembered with a twist for different reasons.

Under steamy weather conditions another new record setting extravaganza decked in pink awaited our ministry as we made the trek over the river to the Gateway to the West. Stan and Cathy joined me. We quickly gathered our materials, including our dangerous banner. Lock and load! The area was swarming with thousands of participants. A record 71,802 braved the stifling heat in support of breast cancer awareness, or so they say, as over $3.4 million was raised. We worked our way up to the finish line where all the main celebrants and celebration seemed to be holding court. This is where the Lord told me to go years ago when our ministry dedicated itself to be at this annual event to really care for women who are fighting this devastating disease and lovingly tell them the truth about ALL preventable risks. We prayed, realizing that when you stand for the truth all hell will break loose, especially when you’re a threat to Satan’s wallet.

Breast cancer was unheard of in the 1930's. What has been introduced to society that now has breast cancer at epidemic proportions? Elective abortion, and the numbers are soaring and victims are becoming younger and younger and a lot with no history of breast cancer in their families.

Studies suggest that an induced abortion causes biological changes to occur in a woman's breasts which make her more susceptible to breast cancer. At the moment of conception, a woman’s estrogen levels elevate. With an induced abortion/miscarriage those hormones go haywire in a woman’s breast. These abnormal cells lie in wait. www.abortionbreastcancer.com

Why wouldn’t you want women to know this vital information? Because the incidents of breast cancer might just go down by preventing a proven cause. We can’t leave out the money pit. The Susan G. Komen foundation has raised a lot of money and a lot of that money is going and funding the very same risk factor: ABORTION. They give money to Planned Parenthood. If the truth were known then they may lose some of that funding, and making money is what it’s all about.

We were pretty sure we heard the Southwest Illinois College Chorus singing “Season of Love” during the emotional procession of more than 4,500 breast cancer survivors. You can’t help but feel for these heroic women in this party-like atmosphere. Emotions always run high this day. We handed out several pamphlets along the way. All eyes were focused on the racers about to make it to the finish line. Cameras, reporters, and Rams cheerleaders stood in wait. Little did they know that the Komen Race was about to run right smack dab into the truth. Stan stood armed with camera in tow. It was stifling. Staffers were shooing the overflowing crowd back onto bloated sidewalks. Our time was short. I signaled to Cathy, “Let’s roll.” We walked out onto the finish line in front of the media, cameras, and volunteers. To their shock, we quickly rolled out the message that God told us to deliver for all to see- the truth. “Abortion is a cause of breast cancer. Why aren’t women being told? www.abortionbreastcancer.com ”

Our sole purpose was to bring the truth to this million dollar “Dash for the Cash” fundraiser. And yes, all hell began breaking loose. Komen chairwoman Helen Chestnut got in our faces and yelled for operations staffers. She grabbed at our banner and told us, “This is not allowed! You should not be here. This is the Race for a Cure; this is not the place to display this kind of message .It is not allowed here.”

She waved for several big men to throw us out, and she whispered, “Get rid of that banner!” She looked at Angela, “You don’t belong here.” “We have every right to be here. Would you like a brochure to read the truth? The Komen Foundation does a lot of good, but why don’t you want women to know about all of the ways to prevent breast cancer?”

These jackbooted thugs then began pushing and grabbing at our banner. Participants were watching. We began walking into the crowds and groups of supporters and survivors. We thanked them for being there and congratulated the survivors as we handed them the brochures titled, “Abortion Raises Breast Cancer Risks.” It gives proven statistics and facts provided by medical groups as well as explanations of findings regarding elective abortion and breast cancer increases. It also gives out the website and a contact for more in depth information.

The Komen staffers kept harassing and following us. One thug radioed that we were not leaving voluntarily and needed police. Another male was taunting Cathy with her short statue. We were just about out of brochures when we started heading down the main street of this gathering. This was a well viewed area with booths, media, and large crowds. The Holy Spirit told us to take advantage of this witness and we unrolled the dangerous banner for all to see. The Komen thugs went ballistic and started fighting us. They were punching our hands and shoving Stan while trying to get his camera. They didn’t want women to see the truth. They tried breaking our grasp with their fists. At one point, we stopped walking and shouted that they were assaulting us. They tried blocking the banner from everyone’s sight with their bodies, but the truth prevailed.

The Holy Spirit rose up and I began speaking to the tallest Komen thug, “We have a right to be here; it’s a First Amendment right. You have no right to hit us or block our efforts to tell the truth.” One of the thugs yelled for the cops. I turned to the staffer and asked him why he didn’t want women to know the truth about all of the risks of breast cancer and preventable causes. He just stood there with a dumb expression. “Don’t you care about women? We do! We really care about women; we love them enough to tell them the truth. I thought the Komen Foundation did too. Oh, don’t worry. We realize why you all are doing this. You don’t want this little remnant to spoil your fundraising party, do you?” He just grinned. “You know what? You and the Susan Komen Foundation are exploiting women and you are making a lot of money off of these sick and desperate women.”

The two police officers were about up to us. They saw the attack and told the staffers to, “Knock it off!” and leave us alone. The staffers quit following us the rest of the walk to the exit, but several witnesses stopped, spoke, and looked at the banner. We informed them that since the inception of elective abortion in 1973, the cases of breast cancer are at epidemic rates. “What changes were introduced into society that we are witnessing this devastation disease without a history of breast cancer and at younger ages: ABORTION. We care about women. We want to tell the truth about ALL of the risks, elective abortion being the mostly preventable. That is why are here in this heat wave.”

We rolled up our banner and as we walked to our car we gave the last remaining brochures to participants entering the festive grounds. We prayed and thanked God for His protection and this awesome opportunity. We then drove back over the Mississippi River to the infamous City of Slaughter to save some babies outside the slaughterhouse in Granite City , Illinois . It was torrid heat that met us and the good news of one precious baby leaving this mill ALIVE!

Psalm 138 “ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve my life; You stretch out Your hand against the anger of my foes, with Your right hand, You save me.; Your love, O Lord, endures forever- do not abandon the works of Your hands.”

Hope Clinic Death and Destruction on Our Lord’s Day

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 16:15:04 GMT

May 23, 2010

Written by Angela Michael

“Death and Destruction are never satisfied, and neither are the eyes of man.” Proverbs 27:20

It was a warm, spring morning as we drove through the skeletal ruins of the City of Slaughter , also known as Granite City , Illinois , on our way to church. We drove by the slaughterhouse where little baby boys and baby girls are sacrificed on the stainless steel altars to the god of convenience. Yes, babies dying on our Lord’s Day, OUR LORD’S DAY! Disheartened, we witnessed several late-term clients’ cars from previous days at the abortion mill. One in particular was the pick-up truck emblazoned with the chalk details of why they were proudly killing their children. This Oklahoma couple, who attacked us the day before, was back for Day Three of this innocent child’s execution and, flying in the face of God and our ministry on the sidewalk was their obnoxious truck with what appeared to be a handwritten excuse on the back to justify yet another surgical abortion as their method of birth control. It read: “Prenatal Care- $7,000, Delivery -$10,000, Raising a Child- $15,000 x 18 yrs., Abortion- PRICELESS.”

Although we had only a third of our family with us, we parked and got out to pray on the front sidewalk. It was Sunday, our Lord’s Day to praise and worship Him, and here the evildoers were ripping little babies apart in this silent steel town. And, as we interceded, an occasional car drove by, and a few people walked inside the hospital located across the street, yet, for the most part this slaughterhouse quietly coexists in a city blessed with churches on every corner. And I wonder; do they hear the babies’ cries?

Several years ago we caught this same abortion mill killing mostly late-term babies on Sunday. Back then, when exposed, they cut back to weekdays and Saturdays only. Today, on our way to church, to the evildoers’ surprise, we stopped by the slaughterhouse and prayed. Our family stood in the gap. And, the vulgar couple from Oklahoma who had spewed filth and hate towards us the day before? They were back to finish the dismemberment of their very late-term baby.

“All those who hate Me love Death.” ~God

We no sooner began praying when chief abortionist, Mr. Shah, shot out of the front door walking quickly over to the hospital across the street. He was surprised to see our family standing and praying. “Yogi, it’s the Lord’s Day!” I called over to him. He quickly shot a glance at us and continued running inside the hospital. In past incidents with the chief abortionist behaving this way, he more than likely was setting up for a patch job on one of his late-termers who may have suffered complications during the grisly abortion. Yes, Yogendra Shah never has responded to our pleas to stop killing God’s babies and, on this day, local Granitonian and former Catholic altar boy, Ryan Goskie, was the only other notable employee inside Hope(less) Clinic. Later, at church, we asked the congregation to pray for their conversion. Read Saturday’s account for more details.

In our almost 18 years of witnessing and ministering on the streets of Granite City we have never seen so much indifference and depravity towards child killing and immorality. Pure evil runs rampant in our nation. Is it any wonder we see so much senseless violence in the streets, in our homes, and the lack of respect for innocent life? Unfortunately, abortion has become America ’s favorite pastime and, for the most part it gets a seal of approval from most apathetic churches and communities. Is it any wonder why abortion-bound mothers and their accomplices don’t even blush when confronted with the sin of abortion and the act of premeditated murder? Or, incredibly, the sickening view of an entire family, or several generations, accompanying a woman about to abort her child inside this slaughterhouse? This is what we have become: a nation of savages, of killers drawing the sword.

This is how Mother Teresa put it, “ America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe vs. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has shown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate of human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father’s role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest gifts – a child- as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters. And in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign.”

We must never back down from standing for truth and righteousness and exposing what is vile. We must champion what is clearly good in order to defeat evil. Our children and our future depend on it.

Hell is forever. See you at the gates.

Missouri Laws are Bad for Illinois

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 16:10:59 GMT

Missouri Passes Expanded Abortion Consent Requirement

Written by Angela Michael

May 2010

Bad laws and statutes are not our problem. They are a sign and judgment from God.

“…because they had not obeyed my laws... I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could not live by.” Ezekiel 20:24-25

Today, Missouri lawmakers passed legislation expanding the vital information that must be provided to a woman seeking an abortion in Missouri . Understand, Missouri already has good common sense legislation in place when it comes to this serious, invasive surgical procedure. For instance, the current abortion law requires parental consent for minors and, for all abortion seekers, a waiting period which requires a pregnant woman to be told of the physical and psychological risks of the procedure at least 24 hours before an abortion.

The latest bill, however, given final approval today, Friday, by the House, would also require that a pregnant woman receive detailed information about the characteristics of her unborn baby. Abortion providers would have to give the mother her chance to view an ultrasound and listen to the unborn child’s heartbeat and also requires the consultations to occur in person, instead of over the phone.

Now, this all sounds great, the exception being: Hope abortion clinic, the Midwest’s largest late-term baby dumping mill--where there are no restrictions--is located only 7 minutes across the river from St Louis , Missouri ! So, while Planned Parenthood on Forest Park and Boyle plays their violin because of Missouri ’s new legislation, Hope Clinic in Illinois is laughing all the way to the bank. You see, this is a Catch-22, for, as the pro-life forces in the “Show Me” state do their job to protect the unborn, many seekers will simply sidestep these safeguards and cross over to the “ Land of Lincoln ” in order to abort their child.

Let us pray, therefore, that the generalized fog on the House floor in Springfield , Illinois dissipate soon and Illinois legislators get on board with their Missouri counterparts in order to create and enforce good laws that protect the welfare of children in the womb, and their mothers. For, as it stands now, thousands are coming from surrounding states to obtain abortions; coming to a place without any restrictions or regulation; coming to the Hope Clinic for Women located in Granite City, Illinois, also known as the City of Slaughter. It’s a notorious, but well deserved label and Missouri , sadly, is the largest source of revenue. Yes, those from Missouri keep the lights on and the abortionist busy inside this grisly slaughterhouse.

So, while abortion numbers in Missouri may be on the downfall, which is good, they are consistent here in Illinois . And, it’s unfortunate that Illinois lawmakers don’t care and definitely don’t police this surgical center or give a rip about the psychological risks and physical harm abortion can do to a woman.

But we, Small Victories, this little ministry; we care. That’s why we are there on the sidewalk, week after week, year after year, as a messenger, offering other options and real healthcare to abortion-bound mothers contemplating their innocent child’s fate. Women, whether the state mandates it or not, have a right to know all the vital information so that they can make a clear and informed decision and, although you can’t force a mother to look at an ultrasound, you can at least offer her a chance to view one.

How ironic that Illinois won’t allow women to walk inside a hospital for gallbladder surgery or breast augmentation or any surgery for that matter without a consult, a waiting period, and pre-op instructions. Abortion, on the other hand, is the only medical procedure that regulates itself; at least here in Granite City . Understand, this is a serious and invasive surgery! It can have life threatening results. We have witnessed many women suffering complications inside the Hope Clinic and then being rushed across the street to Gateway Regional hospital to be patched up and put back on the highway where they are no longer the abortion clinics problem, all because of…no regulation. All the more reason Illinois lawmakers should be taking a proactive role and protecting women by making good laws, even when it comes down to abortion.

But for now, we don’t see the floodgates between Illinois and Missouri closing anytime soon. So, we’ll continue to do our part. We’ll continue to stand, and offer, and hold, and be a voice to those who need to know; and a voice…for those who cannot speak for themselves.

“From the lips of infants and children You have ordained praise.” Psalm 8:2

A mother is all those wonderful things you never outgrow.

She makes a difference in so many lovely ways, the care, patience she sows through her daily toils. From morning to night through childhood ills, spills, and family drills with unseen wings she multitasks through it all without complaint in her gentle words of praise, or her boo-boo kisses and in the echo of her wise advice; in the sense of family closeness and belonging that she gives; in the caring life she lives she is the gardener planting the seeds of faith, truth, and love that bloom into flowers of character, virtue, happiness. A mother makes a difference in the way she loves her children, in ways that others see, in ways only that her children and family know. In her hands the touch of comfort, in her heart the gift of sharing. When she leaves the porch light on or picks your clothes up for the umpteenth time, or tapes homemade decorations to the refrigerator door, so many you cannot find the handle. She lives a life of dedicated service, minus combat pay. In loving us, believing in us, fighting for us, praying for us A mother knows, as she tenderly holds a newborn and gazes in the face of hope, that her child is destined for great things and full of endless possibilities. A mother is love, no matter when, no matter where, no matter what.

Lord, thank You for the wealth of love and joy You have given me. Thank You for revealing to my heart the preciousness of this time in my life.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Excerpts from Illinois Family Institute

Psalm 82:1 “God presides in the great assembly; He gives judgment among the ‘gods’…”

Victory #1 Illinois girls deserve to be protected

Hope Clinic, the Midwest ’s largest late-term abortion mill where no parental consent is necessary, does not make better parents than you do. The ACLU (which is perpetuating a lawsuit to challenge the Parental Notification Act) and Hope Clinic lost a battle yesterday. Our ministry during 17 years of daily witnessing has seen outrageous parental rights’ abuses at the hands of the abortionist and staff in Granite City , Illinois . Hope Clinic has been a sexual predator’s “paradise” far too long as sexual abuse involving minors goes unreported and predators bring minors across state lines to “get rid of any evidence.” It’s time to protect our children from secret abortions and sexual crimes.

Illinois FOCA is dead for this session and the Illinois ' Parental Notification Law is one step closer to being implemented!

Illinois families had a tremendous victory today when Circuit Court Judge Daniel A. Riley dismissed the ACLU's legal challenge of the 1995 Illinois Parental Notification Act. Unfortunately, the judge imposed a stay of his decision for 60 days to allow the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) time to file an appeal.

Please keep this parental rights case in your prayers.

"Today's ruling represents a great step toward ending underage secret abortions in Illinois . This written decision represents the first time an Illinois court has upheld the Parental Notice Act of 1995 against the ACLU's challenge," said Peter Breen , executive director and legal counsel at the Thomas More Society. "We look forward to the day that abortion providers are made to respect the rights of parents to know before their daughters are taken for abortions."

We are very grateful for our friends at the Thomas More Society who filed an amicus brief in this case. We have for far too long held up many a devastated mother who was threatened with arrest if she tried to intervene in her daughter’s abortion, not so much as to stop the procedure and save a grandchild, but to be with her minor daughter during this emotional and difficult time.

Victory #2 HB6205 “FOCA” IS DEAD!

Small Victories lobbied in Springfield two weeks ago against HB 6205, hoping this bill would die. Praise God it has! But we cannot let our guard down, because it could potentially come back in the fall or even next year. Now is not the time to be shrinking back; we must go full throttle against this evil bill in prayer, fasting, and footwork. This is a call to persevere.

FOCA Is Dead,... for now.

Another huge victory for unborn babies in Illinois, HB 6205 -- also known as Illinois FOCA -- failed to advance in time for a vote in the House and was sent back to the House Rules Committee, rendering it dead for this session.

HB 6205 would have increased taxpayer funded abortions through Medicaid; eliminated the Abortion Right of Conscience Act; and mandated comprehensive sex education for every student in Illinois public schools -- kindergarten through 12. This only promotes minors to be promiscuous, and the end result ends up at the abortion mill.

-Section 25 of HB 6205 gives doctors unprecedented liability protections in performing abortions. It exempts doctors who perform abortions from the same liability standards that apply to every other medical procedure. This means if a women suffers a botched abortion (and we have witnessed many medical complications at this abortion mill in particular), the abortionist will not be held accountable. He cannot even be sued. Have you ever heard of anything so ridiculous?

-Liability laws exist to protect patients. To carve out a special exception for doctors performing abortions puts any woman who receives an abortion in Illinois at risk.

-This puts women under the age of 20 especially at risk since they are TWICE as likely to have medical complications as women over 25 and have a 150% greater risk of cervical injury than women over 30. This is not good healthcare. If we care about women and their well being, we need to protect them and educate them with vital information that can save lives, preventably.

God is trying to show us mercy once again and is calling His people to repent and sin no more, to turn from their wickedness. Then He can heal our land. Here in Illinois there can be redemption. We must stand on righteousness so the purging of Illinois ’ politics as usual can be removed. House cleaning can begin in the Land of Lincoln . We can remove the stigma of corruption that our state is currently known for and begin to be a “city set on a hill” where truth and justice for all prevail.

Not With My Hands, Not With Our Tax Dollars

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 15:52:13 GMT

March 18, 2010

Written by Angela Michael

“…Because they had not obeyed My laws…I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could not live by…” Ezekiel 20:24-25.

Small Victories’ director, pro-life advocates, educators, and healthcare workers once again lobbied the Illinois House of Representatives at the Capitol in Springfield , Illinois . It was a long, grueling day. After meeting at the Diocese offices in Springfield , we strategized and went over target legislators. Soon after, we walked to the Capitol building where we went through security and were met with loud chants. We recognized a large group that was in the rotunda protesting proposed legislation of more tax dollar cuts of day care and basic family care.

We soon found Stratton Hall, and it was like a feeding frenzy outside the House of Representatives’ doors. Protocol is that you hand a card stating the representative’s name you wish to speak with and your name and contact number or the matter you wish to speak about to the page or ushers monitoring the traffic and the entrances. A loud protest was underway which made it even harder to hear yourself or let alone speak. If the requested legislator wants to speak with you, they will come out briefly and you have your chance to “lobby” them into voting your way on a bill or piece of legislation. Today, there were so many important bills; there were more handshakes and patting on the backs going on. Like I said, it was a feeding frenzy.

After waiting patiently for several hours sending several cards into the House Speaker’s chambers, none of our targeted legislators came out; all had various excuses. However, we were able to speak with other Democratic representatives. After listening to our brief concern for this proposed legislation (that being HB6205) , the legislators told us they were very pro-choice. One Black American D-Rep. Annazette Collins pointed to her young daughter who was in the midst of lobbying herself and added, “So is my daughter.” Must be a generational thing.

We had several good discussions with those legislators who did speak with us and some of the protestors. We sympathize that everyone needs healthcare, but abortion is not healthcare; it’s murder. To compromise some lives to save others’ is morally unacceptable. The abortion industry tells us to mind our own business when it comes to abortion on demand, but they are reaching in our wallets to pay for this business that we cannot morally or religiously support. It’s wrong. We don’t want to see much needed day care or healthcare cut from the budget for families, but who is paying into the system? Our country is about to go bankrupt. Social Security is on its last breath. As Illinois taxpayers, why are we responsible for the irresponsible sex habits of others and forced to pay for the end result of promiscuity?

This government forced bill will protect abortionists from being held accountable for botched abortions and medical malpractice. How many deaths from legal abortion and lawsuits citing gross negligence, medical battery, and abortion induced sterility do we help facilitate or witness at this one abortion facility in Granite City , Illinois ? Red flags have been going up for some time now.

-Section 20 requires taxpayer funding of abortions and emergency contraception without pregnancy or ovulation testing. State employee health insurance plans, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the All Kids Health Insurance Program would all be required to spend taxpayer dollars on this coverage. Research shows that public funding of abortions increases the incidence of abortions three-fold.

-In Illinois we have NO ENFORCED parental notification law. Since parental notification passed in Illinois, over 46,000 abortions have been performed on girls under 18.

-Until parental notice is enforced, a girl under 18 could not only have an abortion without her parents knowing- now the State would pay for it. This is especially troubling since teenage girls are at a higher risk for complications from an abortion than any other age group.

-Section 25 gives doctors unprecedented liability protections in performing abortions. It exempts doctors who perform abortions from the same liability standards that apply to every other medical procedure.

-Liability laws exist to protect patients. To carve out a special exception for doctors performing abortions puts any woman who receives an abortion in Illinois at risk.

We as pro-life advocates for women and children do care about women’s and girls’ healthcare. We know that more lives can be protected and saved with early detection, education, and by providing information to increase awareness. Another risk factor that is not even mentioned in this bill is breast cancer. Why is there such an epidemic of breast cancer since the inception of elective abortion in 1973? Why are we not informing women that there is a proven and direct link between breast cancer and elective abortion? See link: www.AbortionBreastCancer.com

“Among women who had been pregnant at least once, the risk of breast cancer in those who had experienced an induced abortion was 50% higher than among other women.” “Highest risks (more than double) were observed when the abortion was done at ages younger than 18 years…” ~Dr. Janet Darling Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1994

Never did it enter my mind that I would “lobby” as a last ditch effort to try and persuade politicians to come to their senses when it comes to girls’ healthcare, but being the mother of 9 daughters and a sidewalk counselor for 17 years it does concern me. The government needs to stay out of the family business. Parents need to be involved with their own children when it comes to their healthcare. Why shouldn’t a parent be notified when their minor daughter is undergoing a serious, invasive surgical procedure such as abortion? Would you let them get an appendectomy without your knowledge or consent? The school nurse cannot even give your daughter an aspirin at school without your permission.

Judges should not be legislating from the bench and that is exactly what is happening in Illinois with the parental notification law. The ACLU, Hope Clinic , and the lobbyists know whose hands to grease. Money talks in the halls of many a courthouse. Biblically, these are more signs and judgments coming from God against our nation. The fact that injustice reigns in our courts is not our problem. It is a sign and judgment from God. “When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?’ Job 9:24.

We tried to be the messenger once again and deliver God’s mail, but to stand back and witness how corrupt our legislative halls have become is depressing. It felt very degrading. We are fighting Chicago corruption and politicians. Politics is the art of compromise. We cannot keep looking to man to help us. If our nation is going to continue to thrive, we must repent and turn to God. Politicians will never stop abortion. But that does not mean we don’t try.

Editor’s note: As we write this article we have learned the Healthcare Reform bill has been passed. The Democrats who were holding out for a worthless promise on a piece of paper that abortion funding would not be included, bought the lie and caved in at the last minute. Instead of hand-wringing there are still more lessons to be learned. #1 “…for the help of man is worthless.” Psalms 60:11-12. The monumental support of child killing through the guise of healthcare by politicians is foolish.

#2 God continues to show His people that we need Him, not man. Men’s hearts are wicked and full of every evil under the sun. We cannot depend on politicians to do what the Church of Jesus Christ has been ordained to do. This is God’s war; He just asks His people to show up for the battle. As God-fearing Americans, we need to take back what the devil has stolen. The American people need to take control again by declaring state by state across the nation that a preborn human being be recognized as a person, therefore making it necessary to pass a federal human personhood amendment to the U.S. Constitution, instead of wasting anymore time playing pro-life games and tickling politicians’ ears. This is the new civil rights battle and movement of our time. The only way it can be won is in the streets and in the hearts of men. “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.” -C. S. Lewis

Dear Mommy

February 2010

Dear Mommy,

I am in Heaven now, sitting on Jesus’ lap. He loves me and cries with me; for my heart has been broken. I so wanted to be your little girl. I don’t quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me.

Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much.

One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you. I couldn’t imagine why you were so unhappy. That same day, the most horrible thing happened. A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me.

The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me." Complete terror is all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn’t anymore. Then the monster started ripping my arm off. It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn’t stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off.

Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy. Now I couldn’t; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all. I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn’t know the words you could understand. And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead.

I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone. The angel took me to Jesus and set me on His lap. He said He loved me, and He was my Father. Then I was happy. I asked Him what the thing was that killed me. He answered, "Abortion. I am sorry, my child; for I know how it feels." I don’t know what abortion is; I guess that’s the name of the monster.

I’m writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn’t; the monster was too powerful. It sucked my arm and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn’t want to die. Also, Mommy, please watch out for that abortion monster. Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful.

Love,

Your Baby Girl

"You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of gladness with Your presence." Acts 2:28

January 28, 2010

Written by Taylor Michael

We arrived early in Belleville , Illinois and began setting up as mom remained in the ultrasound van giving an hour-long radio interview. She was asked to speak and show a live ultrasound as a powerful send-off to thousands of youth before they boarded their buses to attend the 37 ^th Annual March for Life in Washington , D.C.

When the service started, they began with praise and worship. Kids began filling in as we were setting up in the secluded area where my mom was to perform a live ultrasound. The event coordinator interviewed mom and asked her to speak on her ministry. He inquired, “Have you ever saved a baby?” That’s when mom motioned to my dad to bring my baby sister Hannah-Noelle up. Mom told the overflowing auditorium how she started 17 years ago from our family van and turned it into a pregnancy center on wheels equipped with pregnancy supplies and an ultrasound machine outside the “gates of hell” . Our ministry is literally a “Window to the Womb” . Once an abortion-bound mother sees that little life growing in her womb, she cannot destroy it.

Mom refers to herself as “Womb Service” and gave a short testimony on how Hannah-Noelle was saved one cold, dark night from this abortion mill and adopted. She told the youth, “You guys are pilgrims blazing the trails as you go off to Washington D.C. We need your energy, your ideas, and your enthusiasm, and it’s your generation that can turn this around. We can, just like in Joshua, rebuild the walls and restore a culture of life.”

When she was finished speaking to the youth, the youth minister introduced the pregnant couple and mom asked, “Are you ready?” They proceeded to the secluded area where this was to be performed. Mom put on the microphone and announced, “It’s showtime!” Meanwhile, the cameramen and videographers were getting the camera ready for all the youth to see up on a big screen. There appeared on the screen a perfectly formed unborn baby. Mom talked the audience through the ultrasound basically as if she was talking to an abortion-minded girl.

The baby was auditioning for the audience. She pointed out the heartbeats, and the crowd listened to the galloping beats and applauded. Mom told the couple it was a little early to be determining the sex, but when the baby repositioned itself, it appeared to be a baby girl. Mom announced it and the crowd, which included youth directors, ministers, and priests, cheered and applauded.

Afterwards, the event coordinator and others came backstage and thanked mom. Mom came out and shook hands with everyone before they started the mass. It was a great send off to our future generation, to see what we fight for in the trenches outside the Midwest’s largest abortion mill in Granite City everyday. The more and more we keep chipping away at the walls of lies, eventually, just like in Jericho , they will come tumbling down. Everyone was encouraged and kept coming up to mom and thanking her as we were exiting carrying our supplies and equipment to the van as the crowded Shrine mass was beginning. It was an honor and a pleasure to share our ministry and put a face on life.

As my mom would say, “Be encouraged.”

I Have a Dream

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 15:31:06 GMT

By Rev. Charles LaCroix

Foreword by Angela Michael, Baby Abolitionist

January 2010

"Black Americans are dying at a higher rate and the leading cause is abortion, immorality, and apathy. We recently honored MLK Jr. day. Black History month is just around the corner, and we are off to a shameful start as we witness daily disproportionately our Black brothers and sisters literally being lynched right before our eyes inside this abortion mill. Not one Black pastor, let alone the Black community will stand in the gap because there is a fog in the pulpit and a mist in the pews. The Black woman's womb has unfortunately become a tomb. The worst form of racism is to kill your own child and for the church to stand by and give its seal of approval with the silence of their lips."

I have a dream where sanity meshes with reality. Where right is right and wrong is wrong. Where good is called good and evil is called evil. Where people acknowledge the true sentiments that lie deep within the bowels of their hearts. I have a dream, where precious little babies are held up in the highest esteem. Where they are not denied their very lives because of age or place of residence. Where the baby inside the womb has the same rights as those of babies outside the womb.

I have a dream, where once again, the womb will be the safest haven on earth; a warm and nurturing refuge. Where the intra-uterine child can freely enjoy her playground; kicking, jumping, blinking, sticking out her tongue: all the things her brothers and sisters are doing on the outside.

I have a dream, where the child is valued higher than the purest gold, a sacred gift from our Creator. Who could reject an offering form the creator; this gift with all her miraculous marvels? Who could not accept this present; the likes of which has never been seen before and never will be seen again?

I have a dream, where churches will act like churches. Where they will jettison themselves from their comfort zones of tax-exempt status and public respectability. Where church people will boldly act like abortion is murder. Where shepherds will care less about what will happen to the collection plates and more about what happens to the souls of their flocks.

I have a dream where the laws of this country will do that which they were meant to do: protect the rights of the weak and vulnerable. Where there are laws which buttress life, rather than help destroy it; laws that punish the criminal and extricate the innocent.

I have a dream, where politicians vote according to what is morally just and not what will garner them the most votes in the next election. Where elected public officials seek to promote that which is good for society and not that which is good for their careers.

I have a dream, where a society learns the valuable lessons of the past. Where a society learns from the American slavery tragedy and from the horror of the Nazi holocaust; that a person is a person, no matter how much the evil forces try to suppress this fact.

I have a dream, where a society embraces the facts given to it by medical science which unequivocally submits that life begins at fertilization and at no other time; a life that is uniquely its own, with its own blood type and genetic code. Where a society listens to such truths and acts accordingly.

I have a dream, of a society that cares more about the life of a human being than it does of material wealth or personal comfort. Where the sacredness of a child has more value than one’s public image or social status.

I have a dream, where those who stand to defend life are encouraged and not persecuted. Where pro-lifers are met with acclamation and not with ridicule, jail sentences, loss of jobs and homes, and degradation. Where abortionists are jailed and pro-lifers are commended.

I have a dream, where true feminists will revert back to their original declaration that abortion is anti-woman, recognizing that it ends one life and shatters another. Where to be a feminist means to rejoice in the unique ability to nurture the miracle in the womb.

I have a dream, where doctors will once again be those who serve to uphold life and not destroy it. Where physicians will once again be respected and trusted, and not suspected and feared.

I have a dream, where millions of couples, longing to adopt a child of their very own, can do so without waiting many agonizing years due to the shortage of available infants, a shortage due to abortion. That women in difficult situations will realize that there is always a loving family waiting to receive a much longed for addition.

I have a dream, where the person in the womb will be recognized for her intrinsic value and will never be punished for the sins of her father. Where doctors will recognize that they have obligations to both their patients: mother and child; and will never do anything to purposely endanger the lives of either of them.

I have a dream, where public authorities follow the law that is written in their hearts and will serve to uphold and defend human life no matter what the statute says. Where law enforcement officials will tell their superiors that they will not be an accomplice to a crime against humanity.

I have a dream, of a world that recognizes how fearfully and wonderfully made the child in the womb is, known by the Creator. Where a child can be baptized in living waters and not in her own blood.

Yes, I have a dream, of a world that acknowledges that God gives life and that He alone takes it. From the Great Wall of China ; to the land Down Under; to the land of the free; Let them live, let them live: may mercy be upon us, let them live!

New Year’s Baby Found Dead

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 15:27:03 GMT

January 1, 2010

Written by Angela Michael

Editor’s Note: In trying to obtain the 911 tapes of this tragic event under the FOIA, we have learned this baby was brought to a Catholic hospital located in Creve Coeur , Missouri , a suburb of Saint Louis . The 16 year old mother was also from Missouri . The reason why most of the revenue coming into this late-term slaughterhouse is from Missouri is because there are more restrictions in Missouri , such as parental notification, a 24- hour waiting period, and they don’t allow late-term abortion. Do you see why the parental notification law passed in 1984 needs to be mandated and enforced in Illinois , instead of being tied up in the courts as it is currently?

This baby did not have to die!

A fresh blanket of snow covered the ground as a speeding ambulance chased down a two lane country road in the cold night, leading to a metro-area hospital transporting a newborn baby boy. He had been born within the hour and first-responders were working feverishly to revive his tiny body. Inside the emergency room they were met with resuscitation equipment, but it was too late. He was pronounced dead on arrival.

Another late-term botched abortion. The mother, a 16 year old, delivered him in the toilet after starting her three-day abortion procedure over at Granite City’s little slaughterhouse, Hope Clinic for Women, on Tuesday. Missouri abortionist and former felon Allen Palmer was the hired assassin. She stated that the abortion staff kept giving her injections. The next night, she went into full term labor, went into the bathroom, and delivered her baby boy into the cold waters of the toilet. She left him to call Hope Clinic. She notified the on call person of the situation. They told her to, “Bring the baby in a bag back to the clinic in the morning.” She panicked and called 911.

At the hospital, emergency personnel took one look at the baby and were saddened and disgusted. They listened to the mother’s abortion sequence and the abortion mill’s response to her emergency home delivery. Just on appearances, this little one was perfectly formed, but dead on arrival. He was 3 lbs.5 oz. 31 weeks gestation. In nine weeks he would have been considered full-term.

The hospital has called for a full investigation. Illinois supposedly does not allow babies to be killed after viability at 24 weeks, so we have placed several calls to local law enforcement demanding a thorough investigation. Who is policing and regulating abortion mills in Illinois ? No one. Do we expect the abortion mill to use the scout’s honor code? That’s like asking the fox to guard the hen house.

This baby would have survived. It appears his mother let him drown. She told paramedics she couldn’t handle picking him up out of the toilet, so she left him to die. He was a boy. The abortion mill may try and soothe her and buy her silence. They will whisper, “You just had a miscarriage.” I would agree partly; it was a terrible miscarriage of justice for that little boy. Who will be his voice? The revelers are busy with welcoming the new year and the world will go on, but I don't know how much longer God's justice can sleep while such savagery abounds.

This horrific incident did not have to happen, but it does every day across our nation, especially inside late-term slaughterhouses such as Hope Clinic. The abortion mill gets by with murder and makes a lot of money off it. Not only do the death merchants make money off of the abortion fee, but they turn around and sell the baby’s body for medical research and cosmetic firms. That is why they told her to bring the baby back in a bag to the clinic the following day.

This is despicable. Just hours from putting the old year away, and looking forward to welcoming the New Year… This is a wakeup call. This has not only traumatized the young mother for having to face the truth of what she did and having to peer at her little boy’s face lying in the toilet, but also to the first responders who are trained to rescue and save lives. Abortion is evil. It has a rippling effect on everyone involved, even the innocent bystander sworn to preserve and save lives and do no harm.

Sadly, this didn’t make the headlines or evening news, due to an oxymoron word called “choice”. It has outraged this hospital. Hopefully they will not be intimidated by the abortionist and his empire, or their silenced sealed. They need to pursue this complaint and hold the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation accountable for the discrepancies and inhumane treatment inside abortion mills such as Hope Clinic and the less than standard medical ethics. Clean house inside Granite City ’s little slaughterhouse, Hope Clinic for Women. Medical professionals know that abortion is the “red-light” district of medicine. Pray for all those involved, especially the eyewitnesses to this senseless event that they have the courage to persevere in their duty to expose the barbaric death of this baby, no matter the cost.

Let this little boy’s short life not fade in vain; let it make a difference in Illinois and in society on how we treat the weakest among us. Let his voice be the messenger. This atrocity must stop! We must bring sanity back into the picture. “What an irony that a society confronted with plastic bags filled with the remains of aborted babies should be more concerned about the problem of recycling the plastic.” -W. Egan

This is morally and ethically wrong! Anyone with a working heart knows this is wrong. This is not healthcare. With the acceptance of each and every abortion the conscience of our nation is dying. There are two victims in every abortion: A dead baby and a dead conscience. But the Lord tells us in scriptures:

“If a man is found slain, lying in a field in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him, your elders and judges shall go out and measure the distance from the body to the neighboring towns. Then the elders of the town nearest the body shall take a heifer that has never been worked and has never worn a yoke and lead her down to a valley that has not been plowed or planted and where there is a flowing stream. There in the valley they are to break the heifer’s neck. The priests, the sons of Levi, shall step forward, for the Lord your God has chosen them to minister and to pronounce blessings in the name of the Lord and to decide all cases of dispute and assault. Then all the elders of the town nearest the body shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley, and they shall declare: ‘Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it done. Accept this atonement for your people Israel , whom you have redeemed, O Lord, and do not hold your people guilty of the blood of an innocent man.’”

Who then shall atone for this innocent baby boy’s blood?

Innocent blood has a voice, and that voice cries out for justice.

Illinois- A Haven for Terrorism WHY NOT?

"A man reaps what he sows." Galatians 6:7

Something is really stinkin' in the Land of Lincoln

November 16, 2009

Angela Michael

For the past 35 years Illinois has been infamously known as the “dumping ground” for domestic terrorism in the womb, that being against over 400,000 carcasses of preborn babies. Illinois may now become the dumping ground for Islamic terrorists.

Families used to come from all 49 states to the boom town of Granite City . Once known for its towering steel mills, it now draws families for the late-term, no parental consent needed abortion mill. Currently, the steel mill furnaces lay idle with no business. On the other hand, the abortion mill is the only thriving mill in this deplorable town. Illinois already welcomes drugs, gambling, sex, crime, and abortion because money talks. So why not welcome Jihad?

Yet, Jihad has long been declared on babies nestled in their mother’s wombs here in Illinois as thousands every year flock across state lines to Granite City, Illinois to kill their preborn babies. “Sure! Come on over!” How fitting that Illinois may also become the concrete resort for Islamic terrorists. Madison County , which contains Granite City , Illinois , has been referred to in our nation as the “judicial hellhole.” You can add to its credits the capital of vice. Anything and anyone can be bought; just name your price.

Abraham Lincoln must be turning in his grave to see such depravity and the immoral enslavement of our state and country he presided, fought, and won a war over. Now governing officials are embracing and romancing the idea of bringing Gitmo to an idle standing prison located just outside Chicago, Illinois.

We don’t have to worry about terrorists coming to Illinois …the domestic ones are already here. They’re called abortionists. How prophetic. We reap what we sow. Our enemies are emboldened when they become a part of our nation’s history. How do you sell evil? It’s all in the packaging.

Gitmo in heartland?

Town sees jobs, Republicans see security risk in plan to move detainees to Illinois prison

By Christi Parsons, Katherine Skiba and Joel Hood

Tribune reporters

November 15, 2009

THOMSON, Ill. -- President Barack Obama's idea of moving suspected terrorists from the Guantanamo Bay detention center to a northwest Illinois prison may face its biggest opposition hundreds of miles away in Washington.

On Saturday, residents and leaders in tiny Thomson, quickly warmed to the prospect of finally putting the long-languishing penitentiary to greater use, relishing the promise of jobs in a down economy.

"It would help the businesses here, and God knows we could use that," said Kay Lawton, 59, eating breakfast Saturday at a restaurant a few hundred yards from the Thomson Correctional Center . "It doesn't matter to me who they bring here."

But for those detainees to arrive from Cuba , the White House first has to persuade Congress to buy into the notion of holding suspected terrorists on U.S. soil. Hours after the story was reported by the Tribune, the administration began a low-key sales job of the idea it floated Friday, releasing estimates that envisioned an economic boon for the region.

Illinois Republicans immediately assailed the idea of putting terrorism suspects at Thomson. Rep. Mark Kirk, a Republican U.S. Senate candidate, circulated a letter among Illinois ' congressional delegation urging the White House to not proceed.

"If your administration brings al-Qaida terrorists to Illinois, our state and the Chicago metropolitan area will become ground zero for Jihadist terrorist plots, recruitment and radicalization," Kirk, a five-term congressman, wrote in the letter to Obama.

Democrats largely ceded the debate to Republicans for much of Saturday. Gov. Pat Quinn plans a three-city tour Sunday to talk about Thomson. In a statement, Quinn framed the issue as showing off the prison to the federal government to help with "overcrowding" -- not mentioning the idea of holding terrorism suspects in Illinois .

By late afternoon, Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin defended the idea, citing statistics that 350 inmates convicted of terrorism are locked up in federal prisons, including 35 in Illinois .

"To those who say U.S. prisons cannot safely hold high-risk terror suspects, I say look at the facts," he said.

The battle lines started to form in the wake of the White House's revelation Friday that the largely vacant prison near the Mississippi River is a leading candidate to house a "limited number" of terrorism suspects. On Saturday, Durbin put the number at "fewer than 100."

For months, the administration has faced a knot of problems as it works to close the detention center on the naval base in Cuba . Thomson, a maximum-security prison roughly 150 miles west of Chicago , could be turned into a super-maximum facility with a unit for some of the Guantanamo detainees.

Unclear is how many would be transferred to Illinois and whether Thomson would be the sole domestic prison for that purpose. Several other sites have been under review by the U.S. Departments of Justice and Defense, and local officials around the country have volunteered their communities as host towns.

And so it is that Thomson could figure prominently on a political issue of global scope. Guantanamo has emerged as an international symbol of U.S. anti-terror and detention policies; Obama said its name was "a rallying cry" for al-Qaida as he ordered its closure shortly after taking office.

But the shutdown has proved hard to accomplish, primarily because there's no simple way to relocate the more than 200 detainees now housed there. Foreign allies are open to accepting some, but Obama has had to ask for their help while admitting the U.S. might not be able to do the same.

As distasteful as some find the idea of incarcerating terrorists on U.S. soil, prisons are an inviting idea in some remote areas suffering economic hardship. Thomson, with a population of less than 600, is a good example.

On the north end of town is the sprawling prison, a series of drab, low-slung stone buildings that opened to great fanfare in 2001. The $145 million prison complex promised to bring hundreds of jobs. But that never happened. Since the construction wrapped up eight years ago, the only portion of the prison that has opened is the minimum-security wing. The prison's state-of-the-art maximum-security wing remains vacant, a casualty of the state's shifting correctional priorities.

The town was abuzz Saturday with news that the prison is being looked at by the Obama administration.

"People have come here, they've bought homes, and when the prison never opened they simply had to leave," said Rosie Rojas, a waitress at the Sunrise restaurant. "Everybody is fighting for jobs, and it seems like that prison has the potential to bring a lot of them."

Brad Spencer, a volunteer firefighter and resident of nearby Savanna, predicted opposition would surface.

"It don't bother me none, but this is a small town and a lot of people have a conservative outlook on something like this," said Spencer as he worked the back room of Schafer Fisheries Inc. in nearby Fulton .

Thomson Village President Jerry "Duke" Hebeler said Saturday that state officials last month pitched to him the idea of bringing detainees to the prison. He welcomes the economic development potential.

"A murderer is a murderer no matter where he's from," Hebeler said. "That's the way I look at it."

The prison would generate 2,300 to 3,200 jobs in the area and pump $790 million to $1 billion into the local economy in its first four years, according to a White House estimate generated at the request of Quinn and Durbin.

Republican U.S. Rep. Donald Manzullo, whose district includes Thomson, acknowledged the "extraordinary unemployment" in the area but said he opposed the transfer of Guantanamo Bay prisoners there.

"The issue is: 'Are you going to exchange the promise of jobs for national security?' National security trumps everything." he said.

Manzullo, who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he was concerned that "al-Qaida would follow al-Qaida" to northwest Illinois if Thomson took Guantanamo detainees. All seven House Republicans from Illinois signed Kirk's protest letter to Obama.

Among Illinois Democrats, U.S. Reps. Bill Foster, who represents a far west suburban district, and Phil Hare, whose district is adjacent to Manzullo's, said they needed more information.

Democratic Rep. Melissa Bean of Barrington said she remains "opposed to transferring Guantanamo detainees to Illinois , or anywhere in the United States , without substantial assurances regarding potential security threats."

The White House is working from the understanding that it will need to sort things out with Congress if the Thomson idea is to proceed.

In the White House view, federal law bars the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to the U.S. for any purpose other than prosecution. But administration officials said they have been told by congressional leaders that legislators would consider lifting the restriction if the administration presented a final plan to close Guantanamo that included the new detention location.

Political considerations also will play out in Illinois . Quinn, who will offer his views Sunday, is running for election next year. Republican foes showed they won't be shy about making Thomson a campaign issue.

Noting Quinn's effort to release nonviolent inmates early as a budget-cutting move, former state GOP Chairman Andy McKenna said, "It appears Gov. Quinn's only plan to cut spending and create jobs is free prisoners and bring terrorists to Illinois ."

The Insanity of Illinois’ Parental Notification Law

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 15:01:27 GMT

November 10, 2009

Angela Michael

This past Wednesday, November 4, the Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act took full effect for a WHOLE THREE- FOUR HOURS. A parent or guardian would need to be notified when a minor girl 17 years or younger wants to undergo an abortion. However, this Act was challenged again by the ACLU and Hope Clinic via Illinois liberal Cook County Judge Daniel Riley who issued a temporary restraining order preventing the law from being enforced. Riley questions if this law violates the Illinois Constitution. In other words, Judge Riley, the ACLU, and the Hope Clinic think parents don’t have a Constitutional right to their minor children when it comes to surgical abortion Over 80% of their bloody business is crossing state lines. You understand who is keeping the lights on inside Hope abortion Clinic.

They think they make better parents.

The next court date is scheduled for Thursday, November 19.

No more delays on parental notification

Belleville News-Democrat

http://www.bnd.com/editorial/story/997216.html

In 1995 when Illinois passed a law requiring that parents be notified before a minor gets an abortion, Jim Edgar was governor. Fourteen years and three chief executives later, parents are still waiting for this law to go into effect.

Earlier this week, after years of foot-dragging, it seemed it finally would happen. The state's Medical Disciplinary Board voted to allow enforcement. But just hours later, the American Civil Liberties Union got a temporary injunction from a Cook County judge.

The ACLU argued that there could be "irreparable harm" if the law is enforced. The same argument can be made about continued delays. Young teens every day are being allowed to make a major medical decision, usually in a moment of crisis, without the guidance of their best advocates, their parents.

Whether you agree or disagree with abortion, parental notification is just common sense. Minors have to have a parents' permission for all sorts of things. If a girl wants to get her ears pierced in Illinois , she has to have a parent's OK. So if a girl wants to have an abortion, parents should have to be told about it.

The law doesn't require consent, just notification.

Critics worry some girls might be subjected to abuse by a parent angry about a pregnancy. But the law covers that. In situations in which girls fear for their safety, the law allows judges to waive the notification requirement.

Thirty-five other states already have some form of parental notification. It's time for Illinois to stop delaying and enforce this law.

GRANITE CITY, Ill. (KMOX) -- Some Metro-East churchgoers are putting pressure on an Illinois Congressman to vote "no" when a health care reform bill comes up for a vote in the House.

Daniel Michael of Highland and a group of ten others held a demonstration outside Democrat Jerry Costello's office in Granite City, Friday, "We want to let Congressman Costello know we're concerned Christians and we hope he's against the health care reform bill. We can't have taxpayer-funded abortions."

Michael's wife, Angela, says abortion has no place in a health care reform bill, "They'd be reaching in our wallets to pay for it. That's wrong."

Congressman Costello hasn't said how he'll vote on the bill when it comes up.

His party leaders have now backed off on calling for a Saturday vote.

Chicago Tribune, “Time for parent notice”

November 3, 2009

Fourteen years ago, Illinois passed a law mandating that at least one parent or guardian be notified when a girl 17 or younger wants an abortion. It looks like the requirement will finally take effect soon. It's a sensible, temperate law aimed at ensuring that parents will not be shut out of a decision that has such grave health and moral implications. And it's long, long overdue.

When the General Assembly approved the legislation, which was signed by Gov. Jim Edgar, it included a provision allowing a minor to avoid the notification requirement if a judge agreed that she was the victim of abuse or neglect or that she was well enough informed to make the decision herself. The law instructed the Illinois Supreme Court to write rules under which a minor could seek a waiver.

But the justices refused, arguing that that wasn't their job. So a law that had been legitimately enacted by the legislature was effectively repealed by judicial inaction.

Three years ago, though, the state Supreme Court took another look at this, at the urging of DuPage County State 's Attorney Joe Birkett. And lo and behold, the court wrote the rules. Last summer, a federal court cleared the way for the law to be implemented.

It took a long, long time for democracy to work in this instance, but we're glad it did, particularly for a measure that represents an intelligent middle ground on a deeply divisive issue. Abortion-rights supporters think pregnant girls should have unrestricted access to abortion, while abortion-rights opponents think abortion should be illegal for adults as well as teens in most or all circumstances. Neither got their way this time.

The law recognizes that the constitutional right to privacy encompasses a woman's right to have an abortion. But it reflects an understanding that most minors lack the maturity to handle a matter like this without the counsel of the people who care most about them. To most people, we suspect, this is just a matter of common sense.

In this state, after all, a nurse can't give a minor an aspirin without the permission of the parents. You can't get an ear pierced until age 18 or buy a gun until age 21 unless a parent consents. Abortion is at least as serious as those choices.

Unlike laws in some states, the Illinois law doesn't give parents a veto over their daughter's decision to get an abortion. But it gives them the opportunity to be heard at a crucial moment, and to know what their child is going through.

The last hurdle: Enforcement has been stalled at least until Wednesday, when a board of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation will meet.

This had better be a routine hearing. The legislature passed this law in 1995. Enough with the delays.

Fate of Illinois abortion notification law unclear

November 2, 2009

It's unclear if Illinois will start enforcing a hotly debated abortion notification law this week after all.

After decades of legal wrangling, it appeared the law requiring physicians to notify parents before their teenage daughters get an abortion would take effect Tuesday. But state regulators now say a grace period for doctors has been extended several days.

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation granted an initial 90-day grace period in August. But spokeswoman Susan Hofer says the agency issued an extension late Friday. It'll remain until the state's Medical Disciplinary Board meets on Wednesday.

The board could ask for another extension. It also could ask that authorities to start enforcing the law immediately.

We are urging you to contact Illinois Governor Pat Quinn at 217-782-0244 in Springfield or 312-814-2121 in Chicago and tell him to enforce the Parental Notification Law.

This law has been on the books since 1984 and was updated in 1995. The abortion industry has had a 14 year “grace period”. This good law needs to be enforced. It only makes sense that parents be involved in major medical decisions involving their underage children.

We don’t allow our daughters to have their ears pierced or their appendix removed without our consent or knowledge. Why would we allow them to undergo an invasive, serious, surgical procedure that can have life threatening effects?

The Illinois Parental Notification Law needs to be implemented and enforced. Children need to be protected. Parental rights need to be restored and put back into the hands of parents.

Be encouraged ~Angela

ACLU & Hope Clinic Challenge Parental Rights

October 20, 2009

Written by Angela Michael

Why would the ACLU on behalf of feminist, pro-abortion doctor Allison Cowett of Chicago, IL join forces with the Hope chop-shop notoriously known as the Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill, where no parental consent is necessary and is the dumping ground for underage abortions here in Granite City, Illinois? Just follow the money trail. Isn’t the ACLU run by the same liberal mentality and character as ACORN? I believe it to be true. Why would you file a lawsuit after a federal court has already enacted the 1984 parental notification law in Illinois , which has been updated and stalled in the courts since 1995, just two weeks before it is to be enforced throughout Illinois abortion mills? Because it tells the public that the ACLU and Hope Clinic think they make better parents than those that are caring for and footing the bills of their underage teens. They have taken parents’ rights out of their hands for approximately 2-4 hours with each underage abortion, then kick the teens to the curb for their parents (who bear the responsibility in rearing them) and for society to deal with. Get the picture?

Most media publications, especially here in downstate Illinois, have run several shocking pieces on the tragedy of incidents where an underage daughter was forced or brought across state lines to abort without her parents’ presence or knowledge. In some cases, parents trying to intervene on behalf of their minor children have been detained or even arrested by local police in Granite City and then released only after the abortion is completed.

We have unfortunately held up many devastated mothers who were kept from their daughters inside Hope chop-shop for hours as the abortion mill assumed the role of parent in this agonizing decision and procedure, only to have their child returned to them hours later for them to have to deal with. It’s all about the evil and wickedness which abortion stands for.

Of course the money trail plays into it big time. Over 80 percent of Hope Clinic’s clients are teens and repeats. Hope Clinic and the abortion industry would have you believe that abortion is safe, legal, and rare. Oh yeah? Check into our website (Granite City ’s Underage Abortion Abyss) where we post daily documented reports with pictures. Hope Clinic knows who is buttering their bread. This has nothing to do with the welfare and safety of children as this lawsuit claims, but more to do with their wallets. Hope Clinic has consistently broken down the covenant between mother and daughter every time they assume the role as parent.

We recently aided Arkansas law enforcement with the capture and arrest of a 48 year old Arkansas man who was raping and abusing a 13 year old girl, and then bringing her to Hope Clinic to get rid of the evidence. Our photos of the day in question aided in his arrest. Statutory rape is on the books in all 50 states, yet it is not being enforced here in Illinois .

Why would we allow such nonsense? We don’t allow our daughters to have their ears pierced or their appendix removed without our consent or knowledge. Why would we allow them to undergo an invasive, serious, surgical procedure that can have life threatening affects? It just does not make sense, but it does add up to who Hope Clinic depends on to keep their lights on: underage minors.

“I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell others not to kill?” –Mother Teresa

Abortion destroys families…one child at a time.

The Morning After Pill: A Grand Deception

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 14:38:08 GMT

Peggy Pace, BS Parm., R.Ph.

Foreword by Angela Michael

October 2009

“A truthful witness gives honest testimony, but a false witness tells lies.” Proverbs 12:17

How one perceives the abortion battle will determine how he fights it. On a personal level we have fought abortion on all fronts. Most in the church would have you believe it’s a political issue, which brings about a general silence in the church. On the other hand, those in the church who claim to be pro-life would have you believe throwing money at the local CPC’s will stop abortion. To the contrary; many abortion-bound women don’t even walk through a pregnancy center’s doors. Supporting a CPC is admirable, but it gives a false sense of security to the supporter; it gets the pastors off the hook, and unfortunately many desperate women are falling through the cracks due to falsehoods, discrimination, and closed doors.

Bottom line: abortion is a gospel and a moral issue. The abandonment by the church of pregnant women and their babies will only push them closer to the abortion mill doors. ~Angela

Wouldn’t it be grand if we could reduce elective surgical abortions with a pill? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if pro-choice and pro-life advocates found something they could agree on? That’s the promise of the so-called morning after pill: taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, it is said to virtually guarantee there will be no “accidental” pregnancy, no need to purposefully harm the weakest among us by aborting them. Can’t we all agree that this would create a kinder, gentler place to be an embryo, the smallest human being? Here’s a goal we can all support. Pass out the pills!

Such is the rallying cry of those in the pro-choice camp. “Finally,” they say, “we have a solution, and if the pro-lifers don’t endorse it, we will expose them as the hate-mongers we know them to be. Make these pills readily available and the need for abortion will plummet.” Right?

But are these arguments valid? If they are, why would anyone object? Let’s look at the real experience with the morning after pill. In fact, increased access to the morning after pill (taken after unprotected sex) has not lowered unplanned pregnancy rates. The demand for surgical abortions has not dropped as promised. But sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s)have increased. But don’t take my word for it; let’s look at the hard facts.

Where the effects of supplying women with the morning after pill have been studied, no decrease in surgical abortion rates has been found. While availability of the pill may have prevented some pregnancies in some women some of the time, the reported effectiveness rate of 90% has not been demonstrated in real use, and the morning after pill has not been the public health breakthrough that it was touted to be. Of more concern, it appears that women may engage in riskier behavior when they think they have a pill to cancel that activity, and STDs have increased where the morning after pill has been made available to women, even in advance of need. That’s bad news for everyone.

But there is something else even more troubling about the morning after pill. This is a concoction of a very high dose of progestin. The manufacturer says that the pill works by preventing ovulation and/or fertilization. But if progestin-only pills only prevent ovulation about half of the time in the women who take it every day, how could a one-time use reliably inhibit ovulation? Another reported mechanism is that this high dose progestin “slows down” sperm, or makes the environment along the woman’s reproductive tract inhospitable to traveling sperm. Hmmm….experts tell us that sperm can arrive at the site of fertilization (the ovary end of the fallopian tube) in as little as 20 minutes following intercourse. How can a pill taken 72 hours later possibly have an effect in this manner?

No, the really troubling effect of the morning after pill is how it works after fertilization has already taken place. You see, at union of sperm and egg, a new human life is present. It is genetically unique, and it begins directing its own development immediately. It will be another week, however, before it makes its way to the uterus or womb, and begins to implant itself there where it will grow until birth. The morning after pill destroys the ability of the uterus to receive and nurture this new person, so the embryo dies from lack of nourishment and is sloughed off. Thus, the morning after pill, rather than decrease abortion, actually causes a very early chemical abortion.

How can the pill manufacturers get away with saying the pill does not cause abortion? By a redefinition of words. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, or ACOG, changed the definition of pregnancy over 30 years ago when they realized that normal birth control pills may have the effect of causing early abortions. Sound ethical practice requires that a woman be told of this effect, but doctors did not want to have to tell their patients this. So they redefined pregnancy. Most of us understand that new life, pregnancy, begins with the union of sperm and egg. This is high school biology. But ACOG says that a woman is not pregnant until the embryo has completely implanted in the wall of the uterus. This occurs when the new person is about 1 week old. Even the manufacturer admits to this effect, but it is shrouded in medical terminology, buried in the package insert. So what sounds like an arcane discussion of medical terms actually is a way to keep women from knowing the truth about medications they are being encouraged to take.

But the strangest part of this whole story is that crisis pregnancy centers (CPC’s) would tell these same lies to their clients who visit their websites. Surely CPC’s know the truth about this drug; what possible reason would they have for keeping it from women looking to them for truthful answers? For example, a CPC in our area (southern Illinois ) recently renamed “Mosaic”( http://revealmosaic.publishpath.com/morning-after-pill ) repeats verbatim the claim that the morning after pill is not effective if a woman is already pregnant. This is true only if you ignore the growing embryo’s presence for the first week of his or her life. A bad thing for a CPC to ignore, don’t you think? A visitor to this site who is persistent in her search will eventually encounter the truth that the morning after pill causes an early chemical abortion. Will a young frightened woman find it, and what means does she have to know which statement is true? Why would a CPC “bury” this life-changing truth deep in their website?

So now we women have yet another hazard to try to avoid in the game of “Whack-A- Mole” currently being played against our lives and the lives of our children. We have:

-fathers who abandon us;

-boyfriends who don’t love us;

-value only to the extent that we can provide pleasure;

-education systems that teach us to ignore our basic physical differences from men;

-economic situations requiring us to abandon our children to the care of strangers;

-sexual abuse, with many ways it can be legally covered up by perpetrators.

But wait, there’s more- now we can add to this list:

-medical and scientific communities who lie to us.

Even those who tell us they are here to help us regard all the “options” that women have to deal with unplanned pregnancies as equally valid. In other words, they pretend that as long as you consider carefully whether or not to choose life for your baby, your decision will be correct. As long as you agonize over your decision, the argument goes, you’ll arrive at the right one. There is nothing telling a woman in dire straights that she should choose life, that she will be glad she did, and all sorts of abortion education is made available at these sites. This is interesting, because most CPC’s say they exist to help women overcome the difficulties they encounter when they choose life for their babies. They normally are not founded to help women weigh the pro’s and con’s of abortion, but to urge women to make the choice that they already know is the correct choice, that is, to let their innocent babies live.

Next time you read that we can decrease abortion by increasing abortion, tell them it doesn’t add up, and that YOU know better.

Hope Abortion Clinic vs. Parents’ Rights

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 14:32:16 GMT

Late-term chop-shop playing "parent" when it comes to children's health

October 15, 2009

The Hope Clinic for Women, the Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill located in Granite City , IL , filed a lawsuit October 13 in Cook County Circuit Court asking a judge to prevent the state from enforcing the Parental Notification Law passed in 1984 and updated in 1995. The law requires that parents be notified 48 hours in advance before an abortion is performed on a girl 17 or younger.

Why would this so-called medical facility not want a child’s parents involved in their serious and evasive medical decisions that could have serious, detrimental side effects, including sterility and death? Because it is all about money.

Underage girls coming from surrounding states such as Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Indiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi are this abortion mill’s main source of revenue, which is why if this law takes effect Hope abortion mill will be in danger of closing its doors.

Former workers have informed us that Hope abortion mill is bleeding money right now. They need money to fight lawsuits that have been filed against them for gross negligence, malpractice, and medical battery. This is all public knowledge. If they don’t have income to cover the lawsuit bleed, they will go broke. That is why management terminated or retired over 30 employees in the past eighteen months. They are down to one abortionist, when at one point they had four. Supply and demand is what keeps them going. Most of their demand is crossing state lines.

Why are we allowing Hope abortion mill to trump parental rights when it comes to our children’s healthcare? And healthcare is a stretch because there is nothing healthy about dismembering unborn babies. The nine most common “major” complications of abortion are infection, excessive bleeding, embolism, ripping or perforation of the uterus, anesthesia complications, convulsions, hemorrhage, cervical injury, and endotoxic shock.

Where is the outrage in Granite City when a mother is arrested for trying to intervene, not so much to stop the abortion of her grandchild, but to be with her underage daughter who is making life and death decisions and undergoing evasive surgery? Why is Hope Clinic allowed to play parent for 2-4 hours, and then kick these girls out into the world for society to deal with? This is wrong! Where is the outrage?

Do we leave it up to our 12 year olds to have their appendix taken out? Can they go to the mall to have their ears pierced without us? NO! Then why are we allowing them to have female surgery without our consent or even notice? Because it is all about the money!

Baby Malachi Delivers God’s Mail at Barnes-Jewish Hospital

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 14:28:41 GMT

Hospital Training Abortionists

September 29, 2009

The picture of aborted baby Malachi spoke volumes to the many passersby and this medical institution. His name means “messenger”. Although his life was taken in the womb, he still speaks. Hebrews 11:4 “…he still speaks, even though he is dead.”

It was a beautiful, crisp autumn morning as we stood in front of Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis , Missouri . We were there to deliver God’s mail and put this hospital on notice.

Barnes-Jewish along with Planned Parenthood of St. Louis and Washington University in St. Louis have joined together to create the Family Planning Fellowship Program to train abortionists. Taken from the program’s website: “The objective of the program is to develop specialists focused on research, teaching, and clinical practice in contraception and abortion. Specifically, the Fellowship focuses on: All methods of pregnancy termination (ABORTION); all methods of contraception currently available and under investigation; practices, policies, and research relating to international contraception and abortion.”

We began with prayer and then stood at the intersection. Barnes-Jewish, ranked among the top ten hospitals in the United States , is located in a heavy traffic area where many drivers were able to view our signs as we fought the gusty winds.

A reporter from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch interviewed us and asked why we were there. Angela explained to him Ephesians 5:11, “Have nothing to do with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” We pointed out the hypocrisy of an institution that prides itself on bringing life into the world and healing people to turn around and train medical students to take innocent lives. It is wrong and it is evil. This is not healthcare.

“If anything, we are out here to deliver God’s mail and to give Barnes-Jewish and the medical community free advertisement of what they do behind closed doors,” Angela told the reporter.

We received many honks of support and thumbs up. Some people even rolled their windows down at the red light and conversed with us. One woman told us about her grandson Gabriel, a little boy who is scheduled for heart surgery. She said, “God bless you for being here. Some people just don’t get it.” Another man in a truck rolled down his window and encouraged us saying, “God bless you. Thank you for being here.”

The Hippocratic Oath , which many medical students take an oath to uphold, includes the statement: “I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.”

Barnes-Jewish is an abomination to Almighty God and they are breaking God’s heart. The prophet Jeremiah said to the kings and people of Judah regarding child sacrifice, “They have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons and daughters in the fire as offerings to Baal- something I did not command or mention, nor did it ever enter my mind.” Jeremiah 19:5. Child sacrifice in America , let alone at a health care institution such as Barnes-Jewish, is not something that God commanded, mentioned, nor did it even enter His mind.

Currently, we are investigating Saint Louis University ’s involvement with this program as it was first reported to us, and stated on Wash U’s website. It has since been removed from their website. As a Catholic institution SLU knows this is wrong.

After being confronted with this information, Fr. Paul Stark, SJ, Assistant Vice President for Alumni Relations and Advancement at SLU released this statement:

“Contrary to recently published information about content that was posted on another institution’s Web site, Saint Louis University has not collaborated in any way with Washington University in St. Louis in its participation in the Family Planning Fellowship program. Saint Louis University has no affiliation with the program and was unaware it had been erroneously linked in any way in the program description on a Web site. The offending Web content is not true and was not authorized by Saint Louis University . SLU has been assured that all information mentioning the University is being removed from the Web site.

Saint Louis University is committed to acting consistently with the teachings of the Catholic Church. As a Catholic and Jesuit university, Saint Louis University ’s mission, vision and values support the Catholic Church’s teaching and positions on abortion and contraception. The University does not and would not support or collaborate with any program that is in conflict with those positions.”

Saint Louis University Hospital is a Catholic/Jesuit institution that claims in its mission statement to “exist for the glory of God and the health of God’s people…” They go on further to say, “We believe human beings are sacred because of their origin and destiny and have a right to life and a dignified death.”

Washington University Teams with Barnes Hospital to Train Abortionists

September 18, 2009

Foreword by Angela Michael

(Washington University is also the University that uses the aborted babies for research supplied from area abortion mills, as they came out and admitted to in 2002. We also recently discovered that there is a Hope abortion Clinic employee that is currently attending the Washington University medical school. Wash U. is located only 5 minutes across the river from Hope(less) in Granite City , IL.

Hope(less) deathscorts come from both institutions)

Washington University has joined forces with Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Planned Parenthood of St. Louis to train abortionists. It is called the Family Planning Fellowship Program, and its stated goal is to "develop tomorrow's leaders in reproductive health."

Fellows in the program are trained to become "expert" in all methods of first and second trimester abortions, which the program describes as "uterine evacuation procedures." The program claims it is the only fellowship in the nation providing the opportunity to develop "high-level...clinical skills" in "abortion care."

The program website states that fellows will participate in abortions at the Reproductive Health Services clinic operated by Planned Parenthood of St. Louis. The site says that "here, fellows will learn, and ultimately teach and supervise residents in first and second trimester surgical abortions and medical abortion." According to the website, more than 6,000 abortions are done annually at Reproductive Health Services.

The Family Planning Fellowship Program also states that while most of the fellows' abortion experience will be at Planned Parenthood, "new in-patient abortion services are being developed at Barnes-Jewish Hospital ." The program lists Barnes-Jewish Hospital as one of the clinical training sites.

In the area of research, fellows are told that they will work with leading clinicians and researchers "to develop new approaches to...pregnancy termination in the United States and abroad." In the area of public policy, fellows are advised that they can "learn about and participate in advocacy efforts of pro-choice and professional organizations."

The director of the Family Planning Fellowship Program is Jeffrey Peipert, M.D. Peipert is the Vice Chair of Clinical Research in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Washington University . He is also the medical director for Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis region. The co-director of the program is Tessa Madden, M.D., who is a member of the pro-abortion group Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health.

A key faculty member in the Family Planning Fellowship Program is Robert Crist, M.D. The website accurately states that Crist has performed abortions for over 35 years, and is "a major provider of...abortions at Planned Parenthood." Yet another faculty member is Diane Merritt, M.D., who is an active member of the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals, an organization with close ties to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

It is unconscionable that Washington University is educating physicians who are supposed to be practitioners of the healing arts to instead become "experts" in the destruction of unborn children. It is equally unconscionable for a health care institution like Barnes Hospital that prides itself on "world-class" health services to instead be a partner in the killing of innocent pre-born children.

We are providing you below the names and contact information of decision-makers at Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Hospital . You may wish to contact them to urge that they put an end to this shameful and insidious relationship with Planned Parenthood. Please pray for them as you send such messages that they will receive your communication with an open heart.

“Bail-Out for Babies” Granite City ’s Labor Day Parade 2009

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 14:15:50 GMT

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” ~Elie Wiesel

September 7, 2009

Written by Angela Michael

“Buy American” was the theme of the annual Granite City Labor Day parade where laborers, unions, and the Democratic Party marched down the washboard streets of Granite City, infamously known as the home of the Midwest’s largest, late-term baby killing mill.

God blessed us with a beautiful, sunny day as we stood in the gap for the least of these. Even before the parade started, parade-goers were coming up to us and thanking us for being here. One woman said, “I hope you all change what’s going on.” Pointing to baby Malachi she continued, “Once you see what they do, you know it’s wrong.” The Grand Marshall was Congressman Jerry Costello .

Last year, it was rabid pro-abortion and Catholic Senator Dick Durbin. Boy, did we have a divine appointment with him. We got to publicly rebuke his pitiful representation as a Catholic to his church and an abomination to God. He got indignant and had a tizzy fit with us and started screaming with his finger pointed, “Don’t you judge me!” Read: “You Can’t Be Catholic & Pro-Abortion, An ‘Obamanation’ to Almighty God”

Mr. Costello says he is pro-life, but what is he doing about it? Saying you’re pro-life does not save babies; doing pro-life does. Granite City mayor Ed Hagnauer looked over at us as he tossed candy out with half a smile on his face. “Mornin’ mayor!”

More politicians than ever before walked up, shook hands with us, and looked at the signs we held. The Madison County sheriff shook our hands and said, “I’m glad you all are here.” Daniel and I held the banner on stilts which read: “Stop Abortion in Granite City.” God gave us wisdom to outsmart the devil and his troublemakers.

The local Knights of Columbus were visibly afflicted, especially when questioned with the sign: “Why is the church silent?” “I have my kid!” one convicted woman shouted.

Some laborers shook their heads; others made snide remarks such as, “Why don’t they go somewhere else?” “Because little future laborers and union members are being dismembered and flushed down the sewers just two blocks over. Do you care?” Silence… Numerous marchers actually waved to us and encouraged us saying, “Thank you. We’re glad you’re here,” and, “Keep doing what you’re doing.”

Least affected were the little children. They weren’t upset upon seeing the signs and pictures, but rather their parents were as they barked at their kids to turn their heads. We overheard little voices asking, “Why do they hurt babies?” as the sparsely float-filled parade went by the remnant. “Shut up! Don’t look!” the scout master yelled.

Now, of course the local media won’t show this exchange or the peaceful, silent protest which was in clear shot of their cameras that were rolling. There is no mention in the daily newspaper either, unless the messengers are being sued. There’s no media bias, right?

Then there was the peppering of ObamaCare “Health reform NOW!” signs. It was pitiful when they propped up a young girl with Down’s syndrome on a float decorated in ObamaCare health reform signs. Dummies…didn’t they read the fine print on this socialist health reform propaganda? This little girl would be exterminated and considered a worthless parasite in society, aka a “burden” in the health system. Their value of life will be determined by their worth. The Führer and his jack-booted thugs will determine who gets to live and who gets to die. The feeble, sick, and elderly will be the first to go.

A trailer full of unpainted wooden rocking horses rolled by us and we thought their representation was fitting for this parade. Granite City houses an abortion mill and has no problem with the slaughter of over 400,000 unborn babies whose blood is flowing through their streets. They would rather curse the darkness than light one candle. Ephesians 5:11. If they would stop the genocide, there would be children on top of those wooden horses rocking, laughing, and enjoying the parade.

One laborer sat on the tailgate of a truck attempting to hit us with hard candy as they drove slowly by. God protected us. Not one piece hit us.

The Granite City marching band trailer pulled by. Parents deliberately parked in front of us holding our signs, but this year God gave us wisdom. The truth went forth. They could not block the truth of what happens in this deplorable town. The banner on stilts was impressive. Its message went forth. The band trailer could not cover it up this year as in years past. And the occupants of the truck didn’t like that. They were fuming. Lowell picked up baby Malachi and stood out from behind the band trailer so all could see what Granite City tries to cover up. This is what abortion does to little boys and girls.

There was more Black representation in the parade with the ObamaCare health reform signs. “My people perish from a lack of knowledge,” Hosea 4:6 was all I could think. Don’t they understand there is a Black holocaust going down just two blocks over? We witness daily more and more little Black American babies being murdered through surgical abortion than any other race. With ObamaCare, not only will something we do not believe in be the norm in society, but ObamaCare will be reaching in our wallets to pay for it, even more than the government is doing now. That takes some nerve.

The parade was not near as long or full, but God’s mail was delivered. We gathered for prayer, with Joe leading, and two saves and their mothers came by. They were late for the parade. They wanted to stand with us. The kids missed the parade and didn’t get any candy, but Helen, a proclaimer, reached in her pockets and blessed them with all the parade candy tossed at our feet as the organizations and groups passed by us. She said she knew there was a reason the Lord told her to pick it all up. PTL! They all laughed and we hugged the kids and mothers.

They thanked us and told us another Small Victories save was born the day before. “Tiffany” delivered baby “Armando” 8lbs.12oz. Both mother and baby were doing fine. They just needed the bassinette and supplies we promised. They were very grateful.

“Thank you Lord for allowing us to be in service to You and others and the good people You blessed us with this day. Take scales off the eyes of Granite City , touch hearts, and give vision to those wanting to make a difference in their city. Give them a respect of self, a respect of life, and a respect of others.” We reap what we sow.

There must be peace in the womb before there will ever be peace on the streets. If you don’t respect life in the womb, how can we expect respect of life on the streets? Acts 20:35 “In all of this I have given you an example that by such work we must support the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, for He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Granite City ’s Baby-Butcher Hit with Two More Lawsuits

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 14:07:00 GMT

One for wrongful death of woman

August 31, 2009

Written by Angela Michael

“There has been little visible support for physicians who perform abortions. It is thus no surprise that doctors say that if the public doesn’t care, why should we?” -Warren Hern, abortionist

When are authorities going to investigate this and pull this hired killer’s medical license? How many more women will be mutilated or killed? How much more gross negligence will be suffered by women at the hands of this entrusted abortionist? How many more babies and children will be butchered and/or maimed? How many more families will be destroyed by this butcher and left to deal with the emotional and physical pain, distress, and loss of income and livelihood because Yogendra Shah deviated from the requisite standard of care when he is supposed to be providing medical services? Maybe that is why this failing abortionist fled the country and only recently returned from his trip to China where one child policy is mandated.

Both recent lawsuits have been filed within the month of July 2009 . In one, the woman died. Women have died and been butchered in his practice, but there is a silent code in the abortion industry in reporting unfavorable cutlery habits of bad abortionists.

Many, many times we have been contacted by former workers or abortion clients seeking help in exposing the disgusting treatment of women inside the 2 million dollar state of the art chop shop. Many former nurses who have had to work alongside Yogendra in deliveries and abortions have told us he brazenly makes comments after the patient is sedated, that he “makes more money by doing four abortions than attending a delivery and getting woken up in the middle of the night.”

It’s all about money and his disregard for women and their babies’ lives, wanted or unwanted. If this were a puppy mill and lawsuits were being filed, with complaints being voiced of the gross negligence and malpractice happening inside this abortion mill, or a physician’s office or delivery room, would we be having this conversation? No. Why? Because there is a higher regard for animals than there is for human beings!

A former head nurse of an obstetrical unit at an area hospital reported such an incident: Before a delivery of a baby, Yogendra witnessed her arrival to the unit wearing a winter coat trimmed in fur. During delivery Yogendra commented to her, “You should be ashamed of yourself to wear a fur coat. Those poor animals suffered.” The head nurse then turned to Yogendra and exposed his hypocrisy by returning a comment, “You kill babies, you should be ashamed of yourself,” and got through the rest of the ordeal uneventfully.

Mr. Shah is Hindu and converts many employees to this Karma religion. Even the aborting clients are convinced their babies will come back in a different spirit and at a better time. You see, in Hinduism, a bug or a cow is considered sacred, but not human babies. Just ask Ms. Tubbs who survived a botched delivery of her son Gauge at the hands of this butcher. According to documents, her lawsuit states that her son, “sustained severe, permanent, and irreversible brain damage; suffered a loss of normal life; has experienced and will experience untold pain and suffering; and is disfigured.”

He will be in a wheelchair with a feeding tube for the rest of his life. His mother will be responsible for substantial sums of money for medical, hospital, caretaking, custodial and other expenses during his lifetime. This did not have to happen, but it did due to gross negligence.

I often wonder if abortionist Shah sometimes forgets his dwindling ob/gyn patients for abortion clients during the deliveries inside the Gateway Regional Medical Center across the street from his abortion mill. He supposedly has stopped seeing ob patients, but still has gyn clients and surgeries over at Gateway, and the usual “patch jobs” on botched abortion clients; that is, if the abortion mill staff can find him after he leaves the slaughterhouse for the day. NAF protocol and guidelines are being broken here in Illinois , and who is going to report them? The director of Hope Clinic? That’s Sally Burgess ; she is the current board president of the NAF. Joke! Once again, the fox is guarding the hen house.

According to documents, in another recent lawsuit filed against Yogendra, he killed a woman due to negligence. A questionable pap smear with cancerous cells was returned to his office and he did not order another follow-up test that would confirm. He did not provide an adequate history to accompany the specimen for pap smear screening. As a direct result of Mr. Shah’s negligence, this mother suffered invasive cervical cancer and extreme pain, suffering, mental anguish, and emotional distress before her death. Her family has incurred numerous medical, hospital, and pharmaceutical expenses. She lost her chance of survival. This mother did not have to die. She died a painful, tragic death that could have been prevented had Yogendra cared. Where is the outcry? Who will be the watchdogs for the medical community?

In recent actions, a surgeon inside this same Granite City, Illinois hospital, Gateway Regional Medical Center, that covers up for Shah’s medical messes, was sued because a surgical nurse blew the whistle on a drug-addicted surgeon who was “high” during his surgeries. Of course, the nurse was intimidated and fired, but she fought back and sued the hospital. And they did get rid of the surgeon.

Why are we allowing an abortionist to kill, maim, and butcher women and/or their children and the drug-addicted surgeon is held to a different standard? Something stinks in Granite City and for once it’s not the steel mill. “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.” -Edmund Burke

Another Young Girl Butchered in the City of Slaughter

Woman Found in Pool of Blood

Rescue Those Unjustly Sentenced to Death

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 13:58:14 GMT

July 22, 2009

Written by Angela Michael

Proverbs 24:11-12 “Rescue those unjustly sentenced death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, ‘But we knew nothing about this,’ does not He who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not He who guards your life know it? Will He not repay each person according to what He has done?”

The other day our youngest, our baby girl, pointed to one of the graphic brochures which dropped from my pocket. She held it and said, “BABY!” I looked and she pointed to the dismembered and burnt fetus and said, “BABY,” again. I took it from her little hand and said to my husband, “Isn’t it amazing our little one and a half year old recognizes an aborted fetus as a baby? Why can’t our nation? Our communities? The average citizen?”

Isn’t it amazing what can be accomplished when a community comes together and sets its mind on rescuing the innocent? All across our nation television sets were tuned into an incident unfolding in Milwaukee where a little 4 year old boy was trapped in a burning vehicle. Our hearts were ripped with emotion as we watched helplessly. A nation’s eyes were fixed on televisions depicting the car tipped on its side with flames engulfing it as neighbors became rescuers screaming for a knife to cut the little boy, who was now on fire himself, from his seat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbdRwR3IpoA

Everyday people became heroes as they broke open widows, ripped seatbelts, and rescued a little boy from a raging fire. WHY? Because the human heart and conscience cannot stand by and watch a baby die. These neighbors got involved; they took risks; they laid their lives down so another may live. They became their brother’s keeper. A life was saved because someone cared.

Now, the same scenario is played out across our nation everyday. Little baby boys and girls are being barbarically burnt, tortured, and ripped apart while alive in their mothers’ wombs behind twenty inches of cinder block and purple doors in Granite City, Illinois, alone. Many of these babies can survive outside the womb if born today. These are late-term babies.

Can you imagine what could happen if a community could come together and rescue these babies, as they did in Milwaukee ? Aren’t these babies deserving of our love? Are we not our little brothers’ and sisters’ keeper?

I just can’t imagine how anyone can continue to stand or drive by and ignore the cries as a baby is trapped in a burning car or as a baby desperately wiggles away from the tip of the abortionist’s cutlery, grasping forceps, and powerful suction hose. My guess is as it has always been: even with the dead churches in our land, if we recognized these children as babies we might have to roll up our sleeves and do something. It might involve work. It might affect our wallets and jobs. We may lose our reputations; we may be uncomfortable.

The heroes in Milwaukee did not shrink back on the day of battle as so many of us do when confronted with the ugly truth of what is happening to little children as we go on with our daily routines. They fought valiantly to save a four year old little boy who was trapped and surrounded by flames. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,534258,00.html?mrp

When the death merchants see God’s little army show up day after day chipping away at their corners, eventually they will crumble under the weight of their sin. Look what happened a few weeks ago in Granite City outside Hope abortion mill when Gideon’s little army showed up. Remember the abortion mill staff was pressed against to the windows with looks of shock and awe at the sight of God’s army standing and singing His praises in sweltering temperatures? The workers of iniquity were quaking. Babies were being saved and mothers were turning away from entering these gates and instead turning their hearts to their children.

A few lifesavers made a difference in the lives of a child the other day in Milwaukee . We don’t have to wallow in a sea of depravity and decadence and watch the “hang ringers moral majority” numbers rise. We too can become heroes and make a difference.

“ It is not the evil itself which is horrifying about our times – it is the way we not only tolerate evil, but have made a cult of positively worshipping weakness, depravity, rottenness and evil itself. ” ~George Lincoln Rockwell

Baby Malachi Goes to the All Star Game

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 13:34:27 GMT

The world came to the Heartland…and so did Baby Malachi

Estimated 230,000 in attendance at All Star events

July 14, 2009

Written by Daniel and Angela Michael

Jeremiah 5:28 “…plead the case of the fatherless to win it.”

Anticipation was growing and emotions were running high as the remnant held the standard outside the newly built Busch Stadium surrounded in a sea of red pageantry.

President Barack Obama came to St. Louis to throw out the first pitch at the MLB annual All Star Game Tuesday in St. Louis . Once again, like we did at Notre Dame University and many times during his campaign for President, the Michael family greeted him with the Baby Malachi and “Jesus is the Standard” signs.

With thousands of people enjoying the Fanfest in St. Louis , many were shocked to see the aborted babies getting ready for the All Star Parade. Why would anyone come and spoil their fun? “Because within a ten mile radius on both sides of the Mississippi River future little all stars are being premeditatedly murdered. Do You Care? There is an American Holocaust going on while our nation’s attention currently is focused right here in the Heartland on one of America ’s favorite pastimes, that being baseball.

“From where we are standing right here at ground zero for tonight’s featured All Star Game, in both directions, baby boys and girls are being killed by abortion,” we explained. “We are trying to protect those who can’t speak for themselves.” One Black American man commented, “But this is baseball.” “Would you care if we held pictures depicting a Black man hanging from a noose around his neck? Would you care then? Same thing, different time.”

Hundreds and hundreds of baseball fans passed by us as we stood holding the graphic signs. Many just stopped and stared. You could tell that these people had never seen the truth of abortion. God used Baby Malachi to really open up people eyes to the truth of what is happening every day in America behind closed doors. People were even reading our Jesus is the Standard shirts.

Baby Malachi’s picture spoke volumes to game-goers. This little boy died a painful, gruesome death at 21 weeks in a Dallas abortion mill. His death is to remind us that this atrocity goes on as it did in the prophet Jeremiah’s time when the people of Israel were sacrificing their children in the valley of Ben Hinnom.

Today it continues behind abortion mill doors where children are being sacrificed, butchered, and offered up to the god of convenience. Same thing, different time. God Himself was astonished at the depravity then just as He is today while America goes by enjoying the pre-game ceremonies, parades, and Fanfest events when babies are dying. “…something I did not command, nor did it ever enter my mind.” Jeremiah 7:31. The problem today is the same as in Jeremiah’s time: the people of God are not pleading the case of the fatherless to win it.

Hundreds of police and Secret Service were there, but surprisingly they didn’t bother us. We handed out literature and explained to many that there is only one King and it is not Barack Obama! Philippians 2:10-11 “…at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” The Obamanation agenda would require taxpayers to fund abortions for any reason, force hospitals and healthcare professionals to provide abortions, and force employer health insurance plans to cover abortions. Read: “Hypocrisy of the Obamanation Administration”

After we left the stadium area, we headed across the river to the infamous City of Slaughter , that being Granite City home of the Midwest ’s largest late-term abortion mill. After Angela performed an ultrasound on a young lady and we finished praying, a gentleman named Joe came by apologizing for interrupting our prayer and said, “Thank you for being here! I have a 15 month old baby because a girl decided not to get an abortion from this place.” We said, “God bless you.”

God has called all of us to expose the lies that are covering up the slaughter of the innocent human beings. When words have failed, we in America ’s Heartland need to see the horrible reality of what we are doing, allowing, and supporting with the silence of our lips, to the weakest among us in our nation. In the end, God will ask on Judgment Day, “What were you doing when they were killing my children?” How will you answer?

St. Louis Pridefest 2009

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 13:27:18 GMT

Spiritual Battle is Waxing Hot

June 2009

Psalm 12:8 “The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.”

The St. Louis triple digit heat wave broke, yet the weather was still hot, but less humid. Despite the hot temperatures an estimated 80,000-100,000 people attended this two day event. Saturday featured a pet parade and civil ceremonies in sweltering temperatures. Sunday was the big draw with the annual parade.

Something was different with this year’s rainbow gala as we entered the gates. It was not as festive or decked out as in years past. The crowds seemed to be more subdued. There were more drinking restrictions and the local police were inspecting bags; metal detectors were posted at the main entrances.

Also, there was a recent victory in the St. Louis federal courts. Our ministry pioneered this radical movement when we too filed a lawsuit in federal court against Granite City when we were years ago banned from an annual parade, and won! The Apple of His Eye Ministry was holding court inside the Tower Grove Park where Pridefest is held and along entrances handing out Christian literature. VICTORY!

A feeling of sadness came over us as we viewed the same haggard drag queens, the same overweight, greasy, leather chapped cowboys, and half dressed boys on floats marching down Grand Boulevard to the entrance of Tower Grove Park . Floats and creativity were down this year. Maybe due to a lack of funds or energy? But the numbers of militant teen homosexuals and children marching with their ho-made signs were up. Our young are being indoctrinated at an alarming rate.

And yes it was official, after years of open rebukes to the honorable Mayor Francis Slay who leads the pride parade, barricades will stay up so no one can walk out into the parade and confront officials of this abomination in God’s eyes.

After the parade of churches such as the Metropolitan Community Church, Episcopalian Churches, United Churches of Christ, and the Hebrew Congregation Church and floating gay bars, the deathscorts from Hope(less) and Planned Barrenhood over in St. Louis trotted by braless with their “It’s your choice” signs. A familiar face was handing out “Planned Parenthood parties for your choice” invites. We held out our hand and the deathscort, aka Hot Nrs, placed one in our hands, stood back, and realized who we were. She continued down the route a little shocked and dismayed. Just our very presence in the crowd was threatening because of who we stand for and represent.

What I found interesting was the increased presence of the Catholic Church, on the sidelines. Is this because of the deafening silence from priests and bishops on issues such as homosexuality and abortion? That is not to say the Protestant churches are any better. There were notably more Black Americans attending and participating in this Pridefest. The Black American community is slowly being wiped out and they don’t see it coming. Between violence in the womb, violence in the streets, and the increase of AIDS and disease in the Black community, they don’t stand a chance. Their race is self-destructing. Sad.

One young woman viewing the parade was irritated by the protestors screaming and yelling scriptures at Pridefest participants. She shared with me that she was a Catholic, but believed in a woman’s choice and was supportive of homosexuals. “Why would anyone listen to people screaming at them?” she said.

I felt this was a good opportunity to listen and share the tract: “I Was Gay,” the Stephen Bennett testimony of how a flaming homosexual came out of the gay community and found Jesus. “Yeah, but not all people are ready and I support my friend,” she said. “God will meet him where he is at.”

After the parade ended, we turned to go inside the park where food and booths are located, and there blocking us was Hot Nrs, aka Auntie KiKi with a toddler on her hip and a portly male. She began attacking us, screaming how much we hate homosexuals and denounce them on our website. “We don’t hate. If we hated you we’d be across the street with the lunatics in Christians shirts yelling and screaming at you,” Mia said. “We love you, we tell you the truth. You kill babies. Where did you get that live one on your hip?” we inquired. Auntie Kiki said, “She is a product of a homosexual relationship.” Poor kid.

“How would you like it if we stood outside Children’s Hospital and let them know what you do on weekends? You can’t serve two masters. You can’t kill babies on weekends and try saving them on weekdays.” “They already know I work for Planned Parenthood.” “Oh yeah? They don’t know you work for Hope slaughterhouse in Granite City . Then they will not mind our signs advertising your work.

“Kiki, where’s the tolerance? Where’s the love? You are not judging me are you? I’ve stood here for over two hours tolerating this parade. And when I’m done here I’m going inside that park and tolerating that debacle. Care to join me?” Kiki’s intolerance and hypocrisy was exposed.

You see, there is a double standard with God haters. They become their own gods. Gentle Christian activists are referred to as bigots and called haters if we publicly oppose their sin in love; not “luv” which enables and helps them to slowly kill themselves with drugs, alcohol, depression, and disease, but in God’s love. Truth becomes hate to those who hate the truth.

It was nice to silently witness to and pray for the straights and homosexuals on the sidelines. It was amazing being in the enemies’ camp and being attacked for being a silent witness. If we hated the homosexuals we would have been screaming condemnation at them, or ignore them and let them die in their sin.

We shook the dust and went inside the underbelly. The booths were full of regular stuff: gay info on churches that embrace this lifestyle and make homosexuals feel welcome in their sin; aids testing, clubs, and shirts; and paraphernalia with sexual overtones. Homosexuals sure do drink a lot of alcohol and spend a lot of time in nightclubs.

Pastorette Rebecca Turner, of the Episcopalian Church , was present in her church booth. One of her lesbian henchmen tried grabbing back literature that she handed to Angela. Mia and Savanah boxed her out and told her to back off, as we continued our walk through the bare-chested thronged men and smell of alcohol, and lesbians on blankets with their menagerie of pets, mostly canines. They must hate cats.

It disturbed us to see so many gay transsexuals dressed as women escorting multiple children in their group. We recently read an article where statistics showed an increase of sexual assaults on young children by their homosexual parents. Published in the peer-reviewed Psychological Reports by Dr. Paul Cameron, Chairman of the Family Research Institute, the review noted that gays' children were more frequently exposed to parental molestation and more apt to adopt homosexual interests and activities.

“What Exactly do Gays Have to be Proud About?” asked Vision America President Dr. Rick Scarborough in a recent press release. “Perhaps they should be proud of the fact that, according to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2005, 71% of all HIV infections were among 'men who have sex with other men' -- a group that represents at most 2% of the adult population?

“According to a 1978 study, 36% of male homosexuals reported having up to 1,000 different sex partners over the course of their lives? Barack Obama is the first president to ask us to celebrate that which the Bible specifically and unequivocally condemns. Those who engage in unnatural acts should hang their heads in shame -- so should the president who asks us to celebrate their sinful lifestyle.”

Just the thought turned our stomachs of what dangers lie ahead for children brought into these abnormal settings. Coincidentialy, abortion mills such as Hope(less) in Granite City where sexual crimes against children are covered up, the same perversions and rapes of innocent children brought into homosexual families is a “perverted paradise”. They initiate children into predestined homosexuality. How it must break God’s heart.

Abortion and homosexuality go hand in hand. Why? Because they wear the same glove. They serve the same master: the devil. “All those who hate Me love death.” Proverbs 8:36 As long as the Church in America sticks its head in the sand, the virtuous, moral fabric which our nation’s greatness was built on will continue to rapidly erode until nothing remains.

Being A Dad In A “Fatherless” Nation

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 13:19:03 GMT

“It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.”

June 2009

Psalm 127:3-5

A man becomes a father at the moment of conception, but becomes a daddy when he interacts with his child. It is a privilege and big responsibility. Dads are entrusted to raise and provide for the children they co-create. The downside is some fathers are MIA, some by choice, leaving full responsibility of rearing their “immaculate conceptions” to the mothers. But, the most important thing a father can do is to love the mother.

Children are watching and learn from our actions. They humble us. It’s okay to ask their forgiveness when we mess up. They see mistakes are allowed; we are all human and mistakes are expected along our journey. I don’t know about you, but the time-out corners in our home have been warm quite often.

It’s important to spend time and remind our children of their talents. They are created in God’s image; they are to be celebrated. Daddies are great encouragers and another lesson in patience. Spend 15 minutes with your child outside with a baseball and bat. The window glass guy loves our family. It’s good to carry on traditions. Kids and families look forward to special times together. It strengthens and teaches that they are never alone.

Fathers are the biggest source of strength for a child. The innocent eyes of a child perceive father as the all-powerful, most knowledgeable, truly affectionate, and the most important person in the family. For daughters, fathers are the first men they adore and fall in love with. While for sons their fathers are the strongest person they know and someone they aspire to emulate. For those who may have lost their fathers or daddies, now, if you have not already, may be a good time to turn to and rely on your “Heavenly Father”.

A daddy carries pictures where his money used to be : ) He keeps his secret oath no matter how steep the grade, how insurmountable the odds. He will continue to play a major role in his child’s life. Thank you for the virtues, morals, strengths, wisdom, and emotional fortitude you may have passed on. Children couldn’t fare near as well without that loving guidance.

“One night a father overheard his son pray: Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is. Later that night, the father prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be.”

Anyone can become a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad.

Happy Father’s Day!

Who Are the Violent Ones?

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 13:16:06 GMT

Young Pro-lifer Assaulted at Granite City Abortion Mill

June 18, 2009

Once again, the Michael family was targeted outside the infamous Midwest’s largest late-term abortion mill, Hope Clinic, in Granite City , IL . It was another unprovoked attack on gentle Christian warriors in this 102 degree heat wave.

20 year old Mia Michael was assaulted by pro-choice Obama supporter, Kerri Wallace , 32 years old from Arnold , Missouri , who thought she could punch and beat Mia and then steal her camera from her. The assailant came to the murder mill with another female from Missouri . She and her friend went into the clinic, came out sometime later, and drove off. Chief abortionist Yogendra Shah pulled into the garage a few minutes before they exited

The attacker then came back on foot, punched Mia Michael, and tried to steal her camera. Angela and Daniel Michael chased the woman to her car. The woman attempted to run over Mia with her car and then turned her car in an attempt to hit Daniel who jumped out of the way. She then squealed her wheels and almost lost control of her car as she sped down 20 ^th street .

When the Granite City Police arrived, the Michaels gave them the license plate of the attacker and filled out a report. “If this were a Christian pro-lifer attacking a pro-choicer they would be in jail by now.” Who are the violent ones? The ones inside chopping up the babies for a price? Or the ones trying to save and adopt them?

The Michaels, who have maintained a daily, peaceful presence outside this murder mill for over 16 years, operate Small Victories Ministry, a pregnancy outreach to abortion-bound women and their children. This is the 8 ^th time in the last few years that someone in the Michael family has been a victim of a crime outside this abortion mill.

You know you are effective when the devil comes against you. He’s not attacking the once-a-year wonders or the phonies who are screaming and yelling at women as they enter Hope Clinic. He didn’t go after the trouble-makers hiding under the shade tree. He attacked a godly 20 year old who loves the Lord, and stands for truth, righteousness, and mothers and their pre-born babies.

The deathcamp assistant director Deb Wiehart came out and refused to give the attacker’s name. The local police asked the Michaels to move their ultrasound van as it was parked halfway in the yellow zone. We noticed several other cars parked in the yellow zone, one completely blocking a fire hydrant, yet only the ultrasound van was asked to move.

The sergeant informed the Michael family an arrest warrant was issued for the attacker.

Prevention or Perpetuating? Racing to Cure Cancer or Propping it Up?

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure

June 13, 2009

Written by Angela Michael

On a hot and hazy morning we arose early and headed over the mighty Mississippi River to the annual St. Louis pink makeover where the streets were jammed for the Komen Race for the Cure

We noticed lewd and lascivious behavior outside the perimeters of the race. Various race participants were already inebriated. One shirtless man was performing a “striptease” for passersby, including children, to view. Another woman walking alongside us commented, “That’s despicable,” as we entered the main entrance to this emotional event.

Under the Gateway to the West Arch, St. Louis was a sea of pink. Celebrities such as Hoda Kotb, a co-host of NBC’s Today show, served as honorary chairwoman and is a two year breast cancer survivor. As 4,700 survivors gathered around the stage, Ms. Kotb warmed them up and told them they deserved four words for their experience, “You can’t scare me.” She shared humorously during treatment that doctors told her to rid herself of “depressing things” . Kotb added, “So I got divorced.” The crowd roared with laughter.

You can’t help but feel empathy and hope for the many faces and generations walking, running, or supporting this cause. For some, the devastation this disease brings was obvious. “Fight Like a Girl.” Ain’t that the truth! That is why our ministry continues to bring the truth of ALL the risks and preventable causes to this race .We even have family members who run in the race.

The Susan Komen Foundation does a lot of good, but they are not doing all that they can. Komen is selectively telling the truth. They are not giving women all of the risks of breast cancer. Why? Most of the Susan Komen Foundations are giving funds to Planned Parenthood. They are not telling women that one of the most preventable risks is elective abortion.

Vital information that surfaced in the early 1980's was deliberately being withheld from women by the American Cancer Institute. Breast cancer was unheard of in the 1930's. What has been introduced to society that now has breast cancer at epidemic proportions? Elective abortion, and the numbers are soaring and victims are becoming younger and younger and a lot with no history of breast cancer in their families.

Studies suggest that an induced abortion causes biological changes to occur in a woman's breasts which make her more susceptible to breast cancer. At the moment of conception, a woman’s estrogen levels elevate. With an induced abortion/miscarriage those hormones go haywire in a woman’s breast. These abnormal cells lie in wait. www.abortionbreastcancer.com

Why wouldn’t you want women to know this vital information? Because the incidents of breast cancer might just go down by preventing a proven cause. We can’t leave out the money pit. The Susan G. Komen foundation has raised a lot of money and a lot of that money is going and funding the very same risk factor: ABORTION. They give money to Planned Parenthood. If the truth were known they may lose some of that funding, and making money is what it’s all about.

We passed out the brochures “Why Aren’t Women being Told?” to the crowds of participants We even spoke with a few people. Most were receptive. At some point a News Channel 5 reporter interviewed us and we were able to share our commitment and love of women and interject the Gospel into the interview. She was impressed with the ministry and the recent addition to our large family. She commented on the prospect of prevention with our nine daughters alone, where the Lord made a way for us to bring up the “A” word, the word that makes everyone uncomfortable. And with that the interview ended with a hug. Praise God.

This 11 ^th annual event raised a reported 3.25 million dollars. We held the “Abortion/Breast Cancer” banner as we exited this event down Market Street . We were thanking the Lord all the way back across the river to the City of Slaughter that was once known for its towering steel mills. Now we find ourselves embedded for the past 16 years outside the Midwest ’s largest late-term baby dumping mill.

We arrived just in time as we were receiving the morning report. A young, attractive girl pulled onto the hospital lot. Daniel talked to her and brought her over to the new and improved ultrasound van. We came inside and were able to watch her approx 20 week old baby , presumably a boy, auditioning for his little life on the ultrasound screen. She was broken; tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. We listened to the little heartbeats and went over resources and physician follow-up. She thanked us for being there and promised to keep in touch.

What an encouraging note to end on. We faced adversity and death, hope, love, and life in the end of our mission work this day. But when one lives for Christ do they really keep time? I think not. Silly girl.

Remember, fight like a girl and go on. Let’s love women enough to tell them ALL the risks and preventative measures so we can fight this horrible disease on all fronts, until all women are cured.

Psalm 71:20 “Though You have made me see troubles, many and bitter, You will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth You will again bring me up.”

The testimony of a sidewalk counselor outside "Tiller the Killer's abortion mill

Forward by Angela Michael

June 2009

The testimony that you are about to read comes from a dear friend who has been faithful in her walk with the Lord and to the babies. This faithful witness was at the epicenter of the recent quaking in Wichita , Kansas . As you can imagine, we are still feeling the shockwaves of George Tiller’s sudden death. We are rejoicing in the Lord that his family chose to permanently close this infamous house of horrors where so many innocent lives were taken, and lives were wounded. Reportedly, the majority of local townsfolk in checkout lanes are not shedding any tears with the abortionist’s demise. Just the opposite, people are finally talking… The veil of oppression has been lifted off this city.

2 Corinthians 10:3 “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.” With the right spirit and mind, we have the victory and strongholds fall. We can always stand on God’s Word; it never comes back void. “The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked goes out.” Proverbs 13:9

Be encouraged ~Angela

As I stepped onto the plane with my six week old son and good friend Carole Novielli, heading for Wichita , Kansas the summer of 1991, I never realized how much my life would be changed.

Repentance and revival were truly in the streets. It was amazing to see so many people broken, standing up and laying down their lives for those human beings who have had their personhood stripped away from them.

But what was so different about this particular abortion center? I had been to many rescues prior to this and seen similar things…why would this affect me in such a different way?

It was the smoke and ashes that came billowing out of the incinerator which left me broken. I could actually smell the remains of the children. I wept; their little lives became so real to me. I realized at that moment that this was much more than a cause or a ministry, but that a segment of society was being denied their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This segment of society was selectively weeded out and their remains were burning up right before my very eyes!

As I flew back home to Florida , I never realized how etched the incinerator at George Tiller’s obituary would stay with me.

Ten years later as our family prayed about where God really wanted us to be, Wichita is where HE had us to go. Planning for the anniversary of the Summer of Mercy renewal was underway, and as Rusty Thomas so eloquently told us, “If you want to get back into the frying pan, Wichita is where you want to go!” We went!

The first week we were here, the billows of smoke once again poured out the ashes of the children that had died there that week. Months later the incinerator was actually pouring not just ashes, but little pieces of the babies. Another time we had to wipe the windows of our cars off, because they were covered so with the ashes of the little children. We were broken, and knew we had made the right decision.

Almost nine years later, we are still in Wichita .

After years of standing along with others at the gates of George Tiller’s obituary offering help to the women entering in, offering one last ditch effort to the innocent little child, exposing the evil (Ephesians 5:10), praying, singing, reading scripture, and praying that this center would close, we saw it happen this past week. But, even though we prayed fervently for the closure, it certainly didn’t come in a way we thought or wanted it to happen.

The family of George Tiller has announced that the clinic will remain closed permanently. For that we are so thankful, and that is an answer to many, many years of prayers of many, many faithful gentle warriors.

This past Tuesday, it was a strange feeling not going out, as this was the day he usually began his late term abortions. Week after week we would all be there to greet the women that would come from all over the U.S. and abroad, sometimes up to the day of delivery. We would plead with them to please go next door to Choices Medical center and get a free sonogram; we would beg them to not go through with it, to please let the baby live. Many of us have cried many tears along with much joy when a woman would change her mind and let her child continue to grow. I’m so extremely grateful and thankful to the Lord that on Bleckley and Kellogg this past Tuesday this did not happen!

Please join us in prayer that this abortion center will truly remain permanently closed. And remember, no matter wherever you are, don’t ever give up praying. May we all remain steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. For this we press forward!Luke 17:10.

Hope Clinic in Granite City, IL is now the largest and only Midwest late-term abortion mill

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 13:00:52 GMT

Wichita , Kansas is now the safest place for unborn babies in the womb. Now deceased late-term abortionist George Tiller’s abortion mill closed permanently.

“Tiller the Killer” Dead Justified Homicide Wrong

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 12:58:22 GMT

June 1, 2009

Written by Angela Michael

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.”

Proverbs 14:12

It was just a matter of time: When you live by the sword, you die by the sword. “…for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.” Matthew 26:52. Infamous late-term abortion provider, George Tiller the killer brazenly admitted, “Women need abortion and I will be there to do them,” in the summer of 2001. He has had the support and backing of his church where he died, and many politicians, including former Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius.

Maybe God removed His protective hand from George Tiller when he saw during the recent trial and acquittal in March 2009 that the Kansas courts of law were not going to dispense justice after evidence of performing abortions on viable babies and multiple deaths of women due to abortion complications and late-term abortion in any case, unlike the fetal abnormalities excuse Tiller claimed. I do believe that God deals a better hand in His own timing than man ever can. Isaiah 55:9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Vigilante justice or modern day “justified homiciders” are no better than what Tiller was paid to do inside his abortion mill. It is a shame that a person would take the law into their own hands which breeds lawlessness, and yet pregnant women take that law into their own hands everyday inside abortion mills. It is appalling that Tiller was cut down inside his very own house of worship, but so, too, it is appalling to witness a church that would embrace infanticide.

Yes, there is outrage and the abortion rights community will play the emotional heartstrings of the American public to their advantage and label all pro-life activists as violent people. But where is the outrage from the same community when it comes to the violence and slaughter of the thousands of unborn babies everyday inside abortion mills?

The AP wire service admitted Tiller’s mill was one of the few that specialize in late-term abortion. So, too, Hope Clinic , located in Granite City , Illinois , is one of the remaining late-term mills and is notoriously known for being the Midwest ’s largest late-term baby dumping mill. Chief abortionist Yogendra Shah does more volume and no parental notification is necessary in Illinois . Mr. Tiller admitted to carrying out the deaths of approximately 60,000 babies. Yogendra Shah has overseen the demise of approximately 400,000 children.

There can only be pity now for George Tiller and his accused murderer, where at least the accused shooter will be tried fairly in a court of law with a jury of his peers under the legal process. Yet, society and authorities fail to recognize the hypocrisy and should be held accountable for their “bloodguilt” in the death of George Tiller and the thousands of innocent babies who are denied that very same legal process before they can speak in their own defense. They are ripped apart in their mother’s wombs. Most pro-life and vocal activists are referred to as “extremists”, but I think dismembering babies is wrong.

Now, you really can picture an “abortionist on trial” in God’s court where Tiller will have to face God’s holy judgment in His courtroom with the tens of thousands of peering little eyes and faces of those precious babies that he chose to premeditatedly murder. Hebrews 10:31 “It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” But then again, what is worse in God’s eyes: what Tiller did and was paid for? What the accused assassinator did? What the thousands of pastors, churches, and their congregations fail to do and the apathy that consumes most?

Ecclesiastes 12:14 “For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.”

The Shame of Notre Dame

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 12:53:03 GMT

May 19, 2019

Written by Angela Michael

“One of the highest responsibilities we have is to ensure the well-being of our children.”

~ President Barack Obama, New York Times, February 4, 2009

We abolished slavery, we overcame bigotry, but we still kill our children.

The shame of Notre Dame is the same shame that was exposed here in the Catholic diocese of Springfield , Illinois , in particular Granite City ,with the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church. The Church allowed an abortionist to be chief of obstetrics and on staff at formerly named St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Hospital , conveniently located across the street from the Midwest ’s largest late-term baby killing mill. Years ago, we spoke at a Right to Life awards banquet where the Springfield , IL bishop was in attendance asking him to either remove the abortionist from the Catholic hospital or take Catholic off of the hospital sign. He chose the latter. Praise God!

The South Bend bishop D’Arcy chose not to attend the commencement instead of confronting the travesty and demanding the University to rescind its invitation to the most pro-abortion president in our history, Barack Obama. He took the coward’s way out of the situation. This university had months to do something about this and did nothing. Randall Terry stated: “This entire debacle of Notre Dame has been an act of defiance to the Church, and betrayal of the babies who are dying from abortion. We grieve that this speech ever took place, and that the local bishop did not do all he could do to stop this from happening.”

As a matter of fact, where was most of the Catholic Church hierarchy? There should have been hundreds of bishops standing with us outside one of the nation’s leading Catholic Universities. Thank God for the few who did speak out against this hypocrisy including Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life who held a counter rally for students and families who chose not to attend this event.

Bishop D’Arcy, do you ignore cancer or do you confront cancer? You confront it. Evil is a cancer in society. The only way to eradicate the cancer of evil from society is to confront it.

What a great start in life for these graduating students to see thousands of “community organizers” showing them the social injustices in today’s world.

The Rebuke

The Michael family joined hundreds of other “community organizers” outside the gates of Notre Dame University on Sunday, May 17 ^th to let Barack Obama and the world know that you cannot be Catholic and pro-choice. It was an outrage for Notre Dame President Father Jenkins to invite President Obama to give the commencement address and also receive an honorary degree from the University.

We were able to stand with former Presidential candidate and Ambassador Dr. Alan Keyes, Randall Terry founder of Operation Rescue, and many other Christians to show the shame of Notre Dame that flies in the face of God and Catholic teachings. People from all across the United States came to proclaim the truth of abortion and the many lies that Barack Obama perpetrates. He and his wife Michelle claim to love children and promote the safety of innocent human beings, yet in another breath promote child killing at any age and stage of life.

Outside the main entrance of Notre Dame, which by the way was located on “Angela Blvd.”, hundreds of protestors were lined up on the sidewalks. Most were holding signs, some depicting what an abortion really looks like. The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform was present with its large gap signs. Truth Trucks showing the violence of abortion and hypocrisy of Mr. and Mrs. Obama drove up and down the busy streets around the Notre Dame campus. Across the street from the Notre Dame entrance were 15-20 pro-choicers chanting the usual pro-death slogans. Many cars drove by honking in support of the pro-lifers. The media was present snapping pictures of the various pro-life signs and billboards and conducting interviews. Many arrests were made including Dr. Keyes and Miss Norma McCorvey in the past few days leading up to the event.

During the commencement speech several pro-lifers interrupted yelling, “Abortion kills children!” and, “Abortion is murder!” and were removed from the event and arrested. Mr. Obama tried to shrug the interruptions off and went on to talk about the controversy of his appearance at Notre Dame. In his speech, he told the 2,900 graduates that while the two sides may never agree on the issue, there is still some common ground. “We can still agree that this is a heart-wrenching decision for any woman to make, with both moral and spiritual dimensions.”

Mr. Obama, I invite you to come and stand outside our abortion mill alone in Granite City and watch how many women go in there mocking our efforts, bragging how many abortions they have underwent, and mocking God. As mothers and their accomplices pull up in their BMWs, Mercedes, and Cadillac Escalades, the only “heart-wrenching decisions” on their minds are “Visa or Mastercard?”, “Tuesday or Thursday?”

But Mr. Obama wants to play with the emotional heartstrings of our nation. He took an oath to protect our country and its citizens, and yet signs and insures the demise of its weakest and outcast and refuses to acknowledge their very existence.

After we were outside the entrance for almost two hours, Mr. Terry gathered the pro-life protestors together and directed everyone to gather at the campus exit located by the Interstate that President Obama would soon be departing through. As we arrived at the Douglas St. exit, we viewed many police officers and state troopers on the scene. They directed us to stand a certain distance from the intersection. Proclaimers lined up around the intersection so Mr. Obama would be able to view what choice really looks like. Jack Ames of Baltimore , MD lead the crowd in chanting “Life yes, Obama No!” as Obama left the campus in the Presidential motorcade.

As the motorcade came by us, we stood with our signs, “What if His Momma Had Aborted Obama?” We confronted Mr. Obama with these signs in Springfield , Illinois in February 2007 where he announced his candidacy for President in bitter cold weather on the steps where Abraham Lincoln once stood. His limo slowed down, then sped past us onto the interstate. Convict him God.

It was encouraging to be with a great group of devoted Christians that realize the evils of the world and the grave mistake that Fr. Jenkins and Notre Dame University have committed. These dedicated people were not afraid to stand for their faith in the face of adversity. As far as ruining the commencement, would you wait until the train wrecks to tell passengers that there is an obstacle on the track?

This is how the devil comes: to rob, kill, and destroy. You expect the devil to come with horns and a tail, but to the contrary. Evil slowly creeps in and bit by bit chews away at the moral fabric in our religious institutions, churches, families, and our very moral foundations. Eventually given enough time just like termites, our structures are weakened, our principles and standards are eroded to just a pile of worthless dust. Is it any wonder why we see so many Christians and Catholics alike using surgical abortion for birth-control?

Whenever there is injustice, we must speak out and take a stand against the evil that has swallowed up our fractured nation. Let us be the ones that He can depend on to be His remnant of justice as we set a standard in our nation. We are His voice, His hands and feet as we do what we know He would do if He were here in the flesh. Yes, this is God’s war, but He asks us, His people, to show up for the battle. God will not bless our nation; He will not be mocked.

We cannot isolate ourselves in our homes and churches while our nation is made blasphemous before Almighty God. There can be no more compromise, no more common ground. It is time to take up the cross. It is time to lay down our lives for others who cannot speak for themselves.

Proverbs 29: 26 “Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the Lord that man gets justice.”

I REMEMBER ‘MAMA’

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 12:40:34 GMT

Mother's Day 2009

Written by Angela Michael

Proverbs 31:26-28

“Mama, thank you for who I am. Thank you for all the things I’m not. Forgive me for the words unsaid, for the times I forgot. Mama, remember all my life. You showed me love, you sacrificed. Think of those young and early days, how I’ve changed along the way.

And I know you believed, and I know you had dreams, and I’m sorry it took all this time to see that I am where I am because of your truth. And I miss, I miss you. Mama, forgive me for the times you cried. Forgive me for not making right; all of the storms I may have caused, and I’ve been wrong. Dry your eyes.

Mama, I hope this makes you smile. I hope you’re happy with my life, at peace with every choice I’ve made, how I’ve changed along the way. And I know you believed in all of my dreams, and I owe it all to you, Mama.” ~ II Divo

This Mother’s Day as we gather to celebrate and honor motherhood, some gather memories of “Mama” and their growing up years with the wonderful bits of wisdom and patience we swore only a saint could have. Drawing from my personal experience, I can’t say it was very encouraging or happy. I am grateful I was given one though, and to go through the various rites of passage as all of us do.

This day is set aside to recognize those brave task masters whom, more often than less, are underappreciated, underpaid, and quite often overwhelmed with their responsibility of rearing and raising, molding and shaping future adults hopefully to survive and surpass them

Housework beckons, children demand, deadlines loom, promises kept, appointments met, selfish thoughts are replaced with the joy of servant-hood. The job of motherhood takes every ounce of strength and your last remaining nerve. It is the highest calling. Without mothers where would any of us be? Mother’s Day can be bittersweet as some mothers have passed on, but live on in our hearts such as mine.

I reconciled with my birthmother in a hospital. I was able to hold her and learn as much as I could in the few minutes I had with her. She recognized me and a tear fell from her eye as I whispered in her ear that, “I know who you are and I forgive you and love you. You will always be my Mom. You gave me the best gift in the world, the gift of life.” She died shortly after our reunion. Years of being Mama to little ones are short-lived. Cherish each God given day.

Thank God for Mothers. Know that your work never goes unnoticed and is always appreciated.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hypocrisy of the “Obamanation Administration”

Written by Angela Michael

Reporting from the killing fields of Granite City , IL . Once known for their towering steel mills, now known for the Midwest ’s largest late-term baby-dumping mill, Hope Clinic. Severing over 400,000 mother-child relationships in their 35 year reign of terror

President Obama came out today, April 21, 2009 and commented after the discovery of the former administration’s government interrogation memo techniques. “We are losing our moral bearings.” No kidding? We care more about the inhumane torture of America ’s greatest enemies than we do the daily inhumane torture techniques on little American boys and girls in the womb.

Well Mr. O., when did you realize we are losing our moral bearings? Roe vs Wade, Columbine, Gay-Homosexual marriages, 9/11, Pornography, Removal of the Ten Commandments from Government Buildings, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to name a few? Where have you been? Oh, that’s right, torturing a baby for two to three days is okay with you. Partial-birth, D&E abortion techniques make “water boarding” look like a day at Six Flags. Why, you have even signed legislation not to intervene with life sustaining attempts in case a “botched abortion”, aka baby scheduled to die in the womb, survives being aborted by a paid hitman. You, Mr. O., have claimed to be a Christian, but believe and enforce every measure to ensure an innocent baby’s premeditated gruesome death.

I dare the Obama administration to reveal the inhumane and barbaric torture of those being the weakest in society that he disavows to protect. Let’s watch a late-term abortion of a 20 week old baby in the womb on the evening news. Then tell me when America lost its moral bearings Mr. O. How can America expect to be protected when our highest official, that being the President of the United States, cannot and refuses to provide full protection under the U.S. Constitution to the smallest, weakest, and most vulnerable in society under his watch?

I am just a small voice crying out in the wilderness and one of the 58 million who did not drink the kool-aid. “Experience has shown, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.” “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” ~Thomas Jefferson

It’s Worth It- Thank You Jesus!

April 2009

Thank you Jesus! Wanted to share this and let you know if standing outside an abortion mill does any good?

The devil was hard after this baby. They pulled up to mill and the girl bolted from the car and inside our ultrasound van. She was being pressured to abort by her stepfather and mother. She was still in school attending a private girl's school and unwed mothers are prohibited and ostracized.

She came inside where, to her surprise, she watched in awe a little baby auditioning for her life. It was terribly hot as we have no air-conditioning. I apologized profusely, but the pregnant girl didn't seem to mind. Even the stepfather came inside to make sure she was okay. I kept trying to urge him to look at the screen and he reluctantly peered over and saw this baby waving aimlessly as if to say, " Look Grandpa! I'm here, I'm here." The stepfather then brokenly said, "It's her mother."

We went over resources and then when words failed, we prayed. They thanked me and slowly walked inside the abortion mill. An hour later they came back out and got into the car without even looking up at us. But as the car backed up, the pregnant girl was in the back seat and she lifted her head up, peered at me, and gave me a big smile as they pulled away and then she put her head back down.

We just returned home from the Hope(less) abortion mill today and received this e-mail from the young girl titled "A Baby Saved". "I knew I could never have an abortion, and seeing you outside the clinic just reaffirmed me in my decision to keep my baby. That was over a year ago. My Daughter was born April 1st, 2008. She's going to be 1 year old in less than a week!"

Does standing outside an abortion mill do any good?

Just ask Baby Grace.

Abortionist Tiller Testifies in His Own Defense

Stunning Admission

March 2009

Below is a link to a video clip of abortionist Tiller's testimony. Amazingly you will hear the serpents hiss through a man who is wholly owned by darkness. You will hear him, in his own words call himself the "protector" of women with "badly damaged babies ."

So on the stand, under oath, in his own words, abortionist George Tiller admits that mothers need protected from babies, humans, innocent life. It is doubtful that anyone of substance in the court room picked up on the stark admission, but it is there none the less. A Who is a person no matter how small or "damaged."

In this video clip you will see a sad, frail of a man whose mind is nominally coherent. At one point in the examination, Tiller is asked about his relationship with "Dr. Neuhaus who is the 2nd "Dr." that Tiller used that is required by Kansas law. By law the 2nd Dr. can not have a business relationship with Tiller. Tiller referred to his relationship with Neuhaus as, "When she was working for me," then quickly said, "correction, when she was providing consultations for patients." Essentially admitting that Neuhaus worked for Tiller.

Later, Neuhaus had to be declared a "hostile witness" by the court. From notes taken in June of 1999 by Tiller, after he had contacted over 100 Dr.'S, unsuccessfully asking them to be his second opinion, the directory of the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts suggested to Tiller "Kris (Neuhaus) would be glad to dot this. Needs the money.

Also interesting to note is that the battle is being won by the saints in the streets, Tiller said that there were only 3 mills in America that do late term abortions, his, one in Colorado, and one in Los Angeles.

The work of Flip Benham and Operation Rescue/Operation Save America was a part of the trial and Tiller's testimony. His testimony stated; " In 2001, Tiller says there was another protest outside his clinic to mark the ten year anniversary of the Summer of Mercy. "They said they came back to finish the job," Tiller told jurors.

He also testified to the faithfulness of the saints by saying,

"Tiller tells the jury how some abortion protestors have broken into his church during services and disrupted worship. He tells them his staff has been picketed outside their own homes, with photos of aborted fetuses plastered around the neighborhood. Tiller said he considers his staff "heroes" for coming to work everyday in the face of so much harassment and, in some cases, danger. He also tells jurors how protestors would picket the hotel where his out-of-town patients stayed. Some would even follow patients to their rooms, and slip anti-abortion literature under the doors."

Going to his church, picketing homes, literature...lions and tigers and bears, OH MY.

The Abortion Industry is Crumbling

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 12:16:38 GMT

Foreword by Angela Michael

March 10, 2009

"...legal abortion is meaningless if no one is able or willing to perform it." - Warren Hern, Abortionist

This is more confirmation that here in America ’s Heartland the abortion industry is crumbling. This past fall the largest Midwest late-term abortion mill had to shutdown due to a lack of baby killers and numerous lawsuits that have been filed against this chop-shop. Read related article: Hope Clinic is Hemorrhaging

The directoress, Ms. Burgess, failed to mention in the accompanying article the two abortionists she hired from Chicago lasted briefly, as they were butchering and hurting women, and at least four lawsuits were filed in 2008 for gross negligence, battery, and malpractice against these female abortionists featured on our website. Legalized abortion was supposed to put an end to “back alley” abortions and the mutilations of women. Just part of the fable. “Where there is ‘choice’ there is Hope.”

Sally Burgess recently commented to a reporter when asked “ What about the Michaels?” she said, “They are relentless,” referring to our daily ministry outside the Hope abortion Clinic.

The following article posted in the New York Times reiterates what we have been reporting. It’s not a question if legalized abortion will come to an end; it's a matter of time.

“Abortion opponents will achieve their goal without ever having to overturn Roe vs Wade.” ~Kate Michelman, former director NARAL

“When I look back on the Roe v Wade decision I thought these words had been written in granite. But I’ve learned it was not granite. It was more like sandstone. The immediate problem is: where will the doctors come from?” ~ Sarah Weddington, pro-abortion attorney who successfully argued the Roe v Wade case.

Where to Pass the Torch?

March 8, 2009

Generation B

By MICHAEL WINERIP

GRANITE CITY , Ill.

WHEN Anne Baker graduated from Southern Illinois University in 1975, she was pleased to be hired as a birth control counselor for a Planned Parenthood clinic, though it was not her dream job. “I wanted to be an abortion counselor,” she recalled. “I wanted it so bad.”

Ms. Baker was thrilled when the Supreme Court legalized abortion in its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. “I remember going to rallies, and this was so long ago, instead of calling opponents pro-life, we called them ‘fetus supremacists.’ ” She had been raised by her Catholic divorced mother and her great-aunt. They had little money, and to put herself through college, she worked a year, saved, went to school for a year, then worked the next year. “I was so convinced that to stay independent, women needed abortion for a backup,” she said. “It was like a calling for me.”

And so, the following year, in 1976, when a counseling job opened at the abortion clinic here, a 30-minute drive across the Mississippi River from her home in St. Louis, Ms. Baker grabbed it and never left, becoming the head of counseling at the Hope Clinic for Women.

In that time, she estimates she has done abortion counseling for 25,000 women and a few girls, some as young as 11, others as old as 53. “It’s been my dream job,” she said. “I wanted to be standing by the side of someone who was making a decision that others would condemn her for, and support her and link arms and say, You’re a good person making a hard decision, and that’s what I’ve done for 33 years.”

But here is the question: As Ms. Baker’s generation approaches retirement — women whose commitment to abortion was forged in the pre-Roe v. Wade days — will younger women take their places at the clinics?

“We worry about that a lot,” said Sally Burgess, executive director of the Hope clinic, who is also chairwoman of the National Abortion Federation, the main professional support group for abortion providers. “Younger women have always had access to abortion care, they don’t fully appreciate the battle that was fought to have it available to them. And more important, I don’t think they know how precarious the option is at this point, even with Obama’s election.”

“What I observe for women in their 20s and 30s — there are fewer who really have the fire in the belly for this,” she said.

At 50, Ms. Burgess is the youngest member of the Hope clinic’s leadership team, which includes Ms. Baker; Debbie Wiehardt, 57, the office supervisor; and the two doctors performing abortions (the only men on the 30-person staff), who are both in their 60s.

A recent survey of 273 abortion clinics published in the journal Contraception found that 64 percent of their doctors were at least 50 years old, and 62 percent were men. Abortion advocates like Kelli M. Conlin, president of Naral Pro-Choice New York, say that while it’s not a problem finding younger doctors and support staff to work in clinics in large urban areas like New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago, it is an issue in more conservative places, like upstate New York; smaller Midwestern cities; Southern states, including Texas; and rural areas.

For eight years, Ms. Burgess said, she has been trying to add a doctor who was not only younger but a woman. “Many women prefer females, and it’s particularly important if there’s been abuse,” she said. She has participated in a program with the University of Chicago aimed at teaching young physicians to do abortions, and though two women came here to train, neither stayed. “I take every opportunity to put feelers out for doctors,” she said. “We’re aging, we’re looking for leaders to take over for us.”

The staff at abortion clinics typically earn less than their counterparts in other medical disciplines. “We were able to pay about half what a doctor’s office or hospital paid,” said Tina Welsh, 67, who in 1981 helped found the Women’s Health Center , a nonprofit abortion clinic in Duluth , Minn. She was ready to retire as director in 2005, but couldn’t find a replacement.

Ms. Welsh said that when she finally did retire in 2008, she was making under $60,000 a year. After a two-year search that yielded little, she replaced herself with her associate director, who is in her 50s.

Most of the women hired at the Duluth clinic from 1981 to the present — nurses, counselors, lab technicians — came of age in the pre-Roe v. Wade era, Ms. Welsh said. When her nurse practitioner retired several years ago, she could not find a replacement and instead hired two registered nurses . Finally, last month, the clinic hired a nurse practitioner — a woman in her early 60s who had retired and decided to work again part time.

The lower pay at the nation’s 816 clinics — which provide about 94 percent of abortions according to a 2008 study in the journal Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health — reflects a modest revenue stream. The average cost for a first-trimester abortion — surgery that typically involves a four-hour stay — was $413 in 2006, said Rachel Jones, a senior researcher at the Guttmacher Institute. Ruth Arick, an abortion care consultant, said: “At many clinics, fees have not changed much since the mid-1970s. The cost was $175 then and I can still find you an abortion for that price in Detroit and Miami .”

While doctors like the two at the privately owned for-profit Hope clinic can supplement their incomes with a private gynecological practice, that’s rarely true of the other workers.

“People running these clinics,” Ms. Arick said, “have brains wired for social work and social justice even though they’re in the medical business.” Studies show the typical woman having an abortion is a poor, single parent in her 20s. Many don’t have insurance, or the insurance won’t cover abortion. Ms. Burgess said half who come to her clinic need financial help, and she employs a staff member to search for charitable grants.

Working at an abortion clinic intrudes into a person’s private life. “I never wanted to be political,” Ms. Welsh said, “but for the clinic to survive, I had to know all the legislators from our area. They can make or break you.”

“You work in abortion,” Ms. Burgess said, “it will affect who you will date, the parties you will be invited to.” Every day when she comes to work, she’s picketed. On the weekday I visited, 15 protestors carried signs comparing abortion to Hitler ’s Holocaust.

A decade ago, after an Atlanta clinic was bombed, Ms. Welsh had to take terrorism prevention classes. “I’m a director of a nonprofit, and I’m sitting there thinking, Why am I learning about letter bombs?” she recalled. “My board decided after that, only I could open the clinic mail — I was the only one they insured, to save money on the premium.”

On July 11, 2008, protestors picketed Ms. Welsh’s retirement party.

It’s been years since there was violence at the Hope clinic. In 1982, the clinic was firebombed, and eight months later, the owner and his wife were kidnapped for a week, before being released. When Ms. Burgess arrived as director in 1990, all the windows were still boarded.

But in 1999, she opened a new clinic building that is twice as big and tastefully decorated with paintings, dried flowers, framed letters of commendation from former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore . The building was designed like a fortress — walls are three cinder blocks thick, windows are bullet-resistant and out front is a concrete booth where an armed guard is stationed.

After 33 years, Ms. Baker doesn’t worry, but she is still cautious, having the guard escort her to her car during periods when anti-abortion protest historically flares up — Christmas and Easter; the Jan. 22 Roe v. Wade anniversary; Mother’s Day. Her greatest joy is when a woman tells her, “You make me feel like I’m not a bad person.” Her biggest disappointment is how little has changed since the 1970s. “I used to hope some day, instead of people being so scared and ashamed, that the taint, the stigma, would stop. It has not.”

Another Young Girl Butchered in the City of Slaughter

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 12:07:47 GMT

Saturday, February 28, 2009

Written by Angela Michael

Psalm 7:9 “O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked

and make the righteous secure.”

Two witnesses were standing in the gap at approximately 3:00 in the afternoon on a cold, windy butchering day in Granite City , IL . This young girl was one of the many rushed inside Hope abortion Clinic by an older woman and young man, earlier in the morning.

Later in the afternoon, the young man was holding her hand as she was rushed across the street on a gurney by butcherettes into emergency surgery at Gateway Regional Hospital , where both serial killers Yogendra Shah and Allen Palmer (both Missouri residents) are on staff. What is so shocking is how many women get rushed across the street after being butchered inside this 2 million dollar, state-of-the-art slaughterhouse. I thought legalized abortion was going to put an end to table-top back alley abortions?

This happened to yet another young Black American girl who was in her second trimester of pregnancy. It is an assembly line atmosphere inside this mill. We have been informed the abortionists want to spend no more than 7 minutes on a first trimester abortion and 20 minutes on a second trimester late-term abortion.

Where is the outcry? Where is the outrage from all these women's groups? N.O.W. etc. Where is the medical ethics board? And where is the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation, or the Health Department?

Gateway Regional Hospital is patching these women up and getting them back on the highway where they are no longer the abortionist’s concern. They know Allen Palmer and Yogendra Shah are mutilating women all in the name of “choice” , yet they look the other way. Why aren’t they reporting the abuse?

How can so many complaints and lawsuits against this abortion mill and abortionists go un-noticed? Forget the HIPAA excuse. HIPAA has nothing to do with this. You would report a bad tattoo artist; you would report an abusive puppy mill. How many women have to be mutilated or lying in comas before someone will investigate this chop-shop? Why isn’t the hospital that is covering up crimes against women being investigated? The Gateway Regional surgeons, the operating room staff- they all know this abuse and negligent care is going on across the street and they don’t report it. I guess they aren’t willing to “bite the hand” that is currently feeding and supporting this hospital in this deplorable town.

This steel town was once known for its steel mill, which has now been sitting idle for months. Now it’s known for its baby killing mill that is its only lucrative industry. Hope abortion mill is keeping the lights on in the City of Slaughter .

There are no safe abortions. Abortion proponents told us years ago that legalizing abortion would benefit the health and welfare of American women. It would be an acceptable part of mainstream medical care. They also told us legalized abortion would eliminate the thousands of deaths that abortion advocates claimed were happening in the back alleys. The mythology of back alley abortions has not ended with legalized abortion. It is alive and well in the City of Slaughter and it continues behind the sterile facades of fresh paint. You just pay more money.

Safe abortions? That’s a lie! Women don’t choose to get mutilated and sometimes die.

Article by Ken Ebright

March 2009

Many people standing outside Hope abortion mill are there to be seen and heard, not to help women and save babies. They are there for their flesh. It is easier to yell at a desperate woman, than to compassionately speak to her and offer her help. Instead of helping the situation they are hurting, and as a result an innocent baby is killed.

You will not see these prideful men or women outside a mosque or the local strip club scream-preaching the Gospel, because they are cowards. It is easier for bitter men and jealous women to scream at women and little girls.

When you are outside the mill be focused. Pray, hold a sign, but do it peaceably. Let trained sidewalk counselors speak to the mothers and fathers. Lou Engle, founder and director of Bound for Life ( www.bound4life.com ), has it right. Just a visual of a prayer warrior silently praying with a piece of tape across their mouth can save a life and bring abortion-bound mothers and accomplices under conviction. We have seen this powerful presence outside the Granite City extermination camp work. Read: Death Toll February 19-24, 2007 Thursday

This is what has caused all of the division and strife outside our mill. A rebellious group of troublemakers are doing the work of Satan, robbing, killing, and destroying. They want no order or to accept correction. What is so sad is that now the 40 Days for Life Spring Campaign is being affected. We are watching good-willed pastors and prayer warriors getting disgusted at the spectacle of what was supposed to be a silent and prayerful vigil, now turned into a loud gossiping coffee clutch. Pastors and first time participants are being turned off at the screaming and bad behavior and they leave in disgust. We, the Body of Christ, get painted with the same brush.

The following account is just more confirmation this is a spiritual battle and Satan will use whoever he can to launch his severest attacks against those who are threatening his bloodline. Only God can change their hearts.

Is Yelling At Abortion Clinics Effective?

Dear Angela:

I was disturbed by what happened this past Valentine’s Day. I feel the following needs to be said. A friend who had discipled me told me that I should, “treat others like I would like to be treated.” Since I have been standing at the Hope Clinic, I have learned what that really means.

A few years back, in July of 2005, I noticed a Pro-choice escort getting very angry at a few of the pro-lifers who addressed the women seeking an abortion. Later that morning a few of us talked to that escort, which we nicknamed Frieda. She said that what upset her so much was that women were getting viciously yelled at as they were walking into the clinic. On that day I started to see things from someone else’s eyes. What concerned me was not just the yelling, but the condemning words that people were saying.

Now fast forward to February 14, 2009. What happened on this Valentine’s Day was simply horrible. On this particular Saturday morning there was a certain black man that came to the Hope Clinic with his daughter. His mission was to try and talk his sister out of an abortion. As she walked by his side, they slowly made their way towards the entrance. Before they reached it, however, they were quickly intercepted by another black man, who wore a religious collar. He then commenced to scream at this innocent three year old child! As a result, the little girl froze in her steps and started to cry. The dad, for obvious reasons, was very upset. It should be noted that although the Hope Clinic apparently has a policy that prevents small children from entering the facility without special permission, because the father was so furious he took his daughter away from the area before the guard had a chance to inquire.

I feel this behavior crossed the line. First, there is absolutely no reason that a three year old girl should be screamed at. Secondly, because the man in the collar yelled at this child a baby died. Understand, if the man in religious attire had not screamed, perhaps, at the very least, we could have talked the dad into letting someone on the sidewalk care for his daughter while he tried to talk his sister out of the abortion.

It is my position that when people yell at these troubled women they are not scaring them out of the abortion , but they are often scaring them into an abortion!

The women who are going into the clinic don't know us. We need to quickly get their trust and, in order to do that, pro-lifers need to make a good first impression. Imagine, if you were interviewing for a job, what would the employer think if you yelled at him? The employer would think you’re crazy, and probably would call security and have you removed. The same principle applies at the abortion mill. We are asking people to save their baby. That saying, “treat others like you would like to be treated” certainly applies. Simply put: People don't like to be yelled at.

As far as condemnation goes: Let's say I wanted to get my car fixed while I was at the clinic some Saturday and I needed someone to give me a ride. If I went up to John Doe pro-lifer and said, “Hey stupid, could you give me a ride to Al's Car Repair?” What do you think John Doe's reaction would be? I think John Doe would tell me to take a hike. If John Doe does not like being condemned, how much less do the women going into the clinic like to be condemned?

Concerning the pro-choice escorts: these people are hard-core. Many are getting up early on what, most likely, is their day off to stand out in the rain or frigid weather at Hope Clinic. When people scream preach to the escorts, first, they don't listen, second, maybe the scream preachers could be hurting the escort’s view of Christians. In the late nineties former Minnesota governor, Jessie Ventura, said in a playboy interview, “Organized religion is a crutch for weak minded people.” My pastor at the time, Lowell Lundstrom, said that perhaps at some time a Christian may have hurt Jessie.

It says in Matthew 12:36, But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken .

The question I ask, why would anyone accept Jesus after being screamed at? Christians may have indeed hurt Jessie Ventura, and the scream preachers are hurting the pro-choice escorts.

What needs to happen out in front of the clinic is not yelling, but a conversation. A conversation with the women going into the clinic and a conversation with the pro-choice escorts. I know it is not easy to do, but if at all possible we need to find out why the women want to abort their baby. If people yell, you’re not going to be able to have that conversation.

In the United States we are blessed to have a church on every street corner. It is almost impossible for any adult not to know that there is a God. For whatever reason the pro-choice escorts have chosen not to believe in Jesus. There is also a reason that they choose to be pro-choice. If you yell at them you’re never going to find out that reason. If you have a conversation with them and ask them why they don't believe in Jesus or why they are pro choice, you may be able to change their minds and hearts.

I have had people tell me that the scream preachers have to scream the gospel to the pro-choice escorts because this might be the last opportunity to reach them. True, no one knows the day or the hour that the escorts may die, but the scream preachers should be prayerful instead of being prideful . If they have a spirit of pride, because they want to be the one to lead them to Christ, they are there for the wrong reasons. They need to pray that the Lord would give the escorts more time to live, and that they would be able to get their attention and have a conversation. I have yet to see a pro-choice escort turn their heart to Jesus because they were scream preached at.

An executive of Hope clinic one Saturday conducted a survey. One thing I heard her say was “You’re for the baby and we’re for the woman.” I am not surprised that the other side thinks that. Especially when they see pro-lifers condemn women going into abortion mills.

I heard Pastor Ed Martin from Ocala , Florida a few years ago on the Small Victories radio program talk about how he is able to pray with clinic workers. This is an example of what happens when you have a conversation. If he yelled at the workers, I bet they would of told him to go fly a kite.

Understand, I am all for presenting the gospel at abortion mills. But preach the gospel in the form of a conversation. Don't yell it.

I am hoping that the readers of the letter will open their hearts. Our actions speak louder than words. We need to show the love of Jesus to the moms and to the pro-choice escorts. I want people who stand at abortion mills to realize the damage they do when they scream. On February 14, 2009 there was a confirmed death of a baby at Hope Clinic. Was it because someone screamed?

In Jesus’ name,
Ken

St. Valentine’s Day Massacre

Faith & Freedom Family Ministries false prophet attacks 3 year old girl outside abortion mill in Granite City , Illinois

February 2009

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! On the outside you appear to people as righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.” Matthew 23:27-28.

It’s absolutely unbelievable what Satan can use and the destruction he can cause all in the “Name of Jesus.” It was not the screams of the St. Valentine's Massacre that were underway inside Hope(less) abortion mill. It was the screams of a little 3 year old girl being attacked by an adult male who is a constant reproach outside this mill, that was so disturbing.

Our ministry has been embedded for over fifteen years outside this abortion mill. We are equipped with a pregnancy resource mobile unit including an ultrasound machine to show the abortion-bound mothers a picture of the innocent life growing in their womb, and other resources including Bibles in offering them another option and real hope to carry their babies to term and help with either parenting or adoption. We have been successful since January 2000 with the saves of over 3000 babies and 28 being adopted by loving couples.

The sad news is, since our ministry has been so successful and fruitful and received national attention, we have been a constant target for the enemy. I’m not speaking of the abortion industry which we would expect, but the so-called Christian community. We soon realized there are frauds and treacherous people even in the pro-life arena. There is only one perfect man and that was Jesus. Our shield of faith was so full of fiery darts we could barely lift it, but despite the trials we did. You’ve heard the saying, “Live your lives so that every morning the devil can be heard saying, ‘Oh no, they’re still alive.’” That’s us. God got a hold of us when we were literally fighting for our lives and the destiny of this ministry. The Lord showed us how evil and wicked men’s hearts are. This ministry needed to rely on God and not man.

When Small Victories won a federal lawsuit after suing Granite City a little over two years ago, that is when these rebellious and stiff-necked troublemakers showed up on the sidewalk outside our mill and began their attacks and devising their schemes, chasing us with video cameras, and screaming in our faces, “Your ministry is over!” to try and deter our focus. They were full of jealousy and envy. The have pulled every dirty trick in the book. You see, the devil never sleeps. He is up 24/7.

The lowest point was when they tried to press charges against an 88 year old crippled man who has stood with us daily for 10 years claiming, “the old man assaulted them”. Thank God there was an unbiased witness across the street that witnessed this fiasco. An accused child molester, whose daughters were permanently removed by the state of Missouri from his care, was setting a trap and this hospital worker came to this elderly man’s aid and told the police the truth before they arrested him.

But the demons have not backed down. If you read our daily streets reports on our website, you may be familiar with a demon possessed fake collared man John Baliff. He is the “Messiah” of these troublemakers. They encourage him and prop him up outside this abortion mill. He screams only inches away from frightened and scared abortion-bound women. He will not come under any authority or accept correction. He has posed as a Catholic priest and heard a distraught widower’s confession across the street outside the hospital. Many pastors and churches that have stood with us outside this mill have tried to speak with him and many have rebuked his actions. Most, if not all, have not returned due to this reproach outside Hope Clinic.

John is a very angry, unsuccessful, and bitter man. John has caused the deaths of many babies with the scream-preaching he hurls at the women. Most of his anger is condemnation laced with some scripture. There is no respect for anyone outside this abortion mill or an established and dedicated ministry such as ours that has been sued, chewed, and tattooed; that blazed the trail, so that John and his troublemaker followers can ride our coattails.

If these men were really called by God to preach the gospel why is it that they are only screaming the gospel outside an abortion mill? Why aren’t they preaching outside Muslim mosques? Because they are cowards. They are there to condemn and attack women and little girls. How many have they converted with this approach?

This past Saturday we began in prayer after setting up. Daniel wrapped individual roses to be handed to the abortion-bound mothers as an offer of real love on Valentine’s Day to hopefully touch their hearts as they contemplated their child’s death. But John was full of the devil. He was on what has been referred to as “krazy korner” screaming all morning. We played soft prayer music to try and calm his hate speech. Faith & Freedom Family Ministries leaders Peggy Dresden and Nolan Clayton then came over to the front sidewalk and stood chatting with one another.

Daniel, Jess, Ken, myself, Lisa, and Savanah were all working the perimeters of the abortion mill as cars with mothers were piling inside. John kept screaming. Ken was getting discouraged as none of the mothers took his rose and literature he was offering them before they went inside. We began apologizing for the screaming man. Some of the mothers acknowledged our efforts and thanked us.

From the sidewalk we heard a commotion. Then we heard this blood curdling scream from a child. Again we heard it and we ran to the alley where we saw John standing and blocking a man holding his little girl’s hand. John was screaming directly at the little girl who was then standing by herself. The father was off to the side screaming for John to stop it. John Baliff was attacking this little girl yelling at her, “They’re killing babies in there,” and something about “fornication and murder”.

By that time we had made it up to the scene. Both escorts were trying to pull him back. He would not let up. The guard came out running to our aid. I grabbed the little girl who was screaming at the top of her lungs. “John, stop it. Get away from her.” This little girl’s father was threatening to get his gun from his car and shoot him for what he was doing. I signaled to the father, “He’s nuts, he is not with us. He is mental.” The father’s face changed a little and I looked at the girl. I scooped her up. “It’s gonna be okay. You can stop screaming. He is not going to hurt you. It’s gonna be okay,” and I wrapped my arms around her and prayed the police would arrive and arrest John for what he was doing to this 3 year old. I wiped her tears. This was horrible.

The guard and escorts helped us get the man and daughter away from John. Tyrel and his daughter were attempting to go inside and get his pregnant little sister out of the mill. I had spoken with Tyrel earlier in the morning as he was sitting in the car on his phone. He was speaking to his sister inside talking her out of the abortion. It was only minutes later that he began walking towards the entrance with his 3 year old when John Baliff began attacking the little girl. He did not speak to her father; he just began screaming in this little girl’s face and would not back down.

Today the deathscort and the anti-abortionist crossed enemy lines and worked in agreement as we feverishly did damage control this day. The father was very upset and continued threatening to take care of John Baliff. “That’s my daughter! He had no right to do that to her.” We both agreed and apologized profusely to him. The father took the girl from my arms and began placing her in the car seat of his car. Franklin , the deathscort, looked at me and said, “Angela, I have never seen that. I looked into John’s eyes and saw hate. Angela, where was the compassion?” I knew Franklin was shook up. I told him, “ Franklin , now you know what we have been dealing with down here. I know God is the answer and still in control, but what can I do Franklin ?” I asked. He just shook his head.

Our attention turned towards the father. I asked him if I could run to my van for a treat for his little girl. He said, “Yes,” and I took off running in my boots. All along the way, the prayer warriors with our ministry commented how awful that scene was. I asked them to keep praying against the demons. The seminarians showed up and others began filling them in on what just happened. I grabbed a handful of treats and ran back to their car and noticed Bill Gover, another troublemaker, was slapping John Baliff on the back as gesturing, “Good job.” And he was laughing. Daniel noticed it too, went over to Mr. Gover, and told him, “There is nothing funny about what that imbecile just did. And if you are with him, you’re as bad as he is.”

As we comforted the little girl with the treats, the father told us he was just going in there to get his little sister out. “He had no right to attack my daughter.” I offered, “He is a coward and it was wrong what he did sir. Not everyone down here is with our ministry.” Then Franklin explained our ministry to the man. Franklin said, “Angela and I do not believe the same way, but we can agree that what John Baliff did today was terribly wrong.” I then told the father, “John has killed more babies with his mouth than the abortionist has killed with his knives.”

The father eventually calmed down, thanked us, and gave us a hug. I looked in at the little girl who was holding one of our lovely red roses and told her how precious she was and, “I am so sorry that man screamed and frightened you. God loves you.” I had given her all the treats and told her if she had brothers and sisters to share with them. She thanked me and they drove off the lot.

Franklin stood there and said, “Angela, I have never looked in a man’s eyes and seen what I have seen today.” He then said, “Thank goodness for tootsie pops.” I said, “Yes Franklin, but those suckers are temporary. My concern is what that little girl will remember this day.”

As we returned to the front sidewalk, Nolan was patting John on the back and checking out early as most of the cowards do when they cause trouble. Peggy had already run off. We were left to do damage control. Ken and others came over and updated us. The guard commented, “He only wanted to get his sister out.” “I know Mike. All I could think was, ‘Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.’” Another little baby died at the hands of those who come “In the Name of Jesus.” The troublemakers have made it very dangerous for us, and even harder to rescue babies outside the gates of hell, the devil’s playground.

We watched another Black American family with a Christian fish shirt on the female driver’s chest proudly walking inside to kill. We reminded her of the commandment, “Thou shalt not kill. It’s not a suggestion. You know God’s Word. He abhors a mocker.”

By this time, John Baliff was still continuing his rampage of insults to the few abortion-bound women still going inside on this day of love. But Ken, the faithful sidewalk warrior, blessed us with God’s wisdom as we all felt a little beat up today fighting demon warfare. All morning Ken kept trying to give his rose to the pregnant mothers as they pulled up to the abortion mill. He could not figure out why they would not take it, but noticed they were taking them from Daniel and others who were handing them out.

After the altercation with John Baliff and the little girl, Ken walked over to the car where the little girl was sitting as I ran to get treats and he asked the father if he could give this little girl this beautiful rose. He said, “ Yes,” and Ken placed it in her hand. She smiled. Ken said, “I felt discouraged all morning that no one was taking my rose. But God had a better plan. He wanted me to give that rose to that little girl John attacked. He wanted it for the little girl that was hurting. I hope that I showed the father that not every pro-lifer that stands in front of abortion mills is like John.” After Ken shared that story we all had tears in our eyes. “Yes, God is still in control. He will deal with those who have come to kill, steal, and destroy.”

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayer; therefore, ye shall receive the greater damnation.” Matthew 23:14. What made it worse were the pro-choice Eden Theological seminarians who witnessed the entire incident held a sign at the entrance of Hope Clinic stating, “Women need compassion, not condemnation.”

Only by the grace of God, three confirmed babies were spared this day as the St Valentine’s Massacre was underway. Franklin left the abortion site earlier than usual carrying one of our roses. He now knows the truth of combat and what we are dealing with on the frontlines of the battle. “You will know a tree by its fruits.” Matthew 6:16.

Colossians 3:12 “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.”

“You’ve been so patient with us, Lord, though we are slow to hear; give us the grace to show such love to those we hold so dear.” ~K. De Haan

Abortion Still Leaves Two Victims: One Dead, One Wounded

February 3, 2009

I cannot emphasize enough how many women are walking wounded and are still, many years later, suffering from the side effects of abortion. Even the FDA checks out complaints against drugs and food after so many are found to be questionable and pulls them or bans them from consumer markets. With so many women in society coming out and speaking about the personal risks, side-effects, and devastation of abortion, why are we allowing this? And why the silence in the media?

The following is yet another abortion survivor’s testimony we received. Hopefully, hearts will be touched. ~Angela

Hi Angela and Daniel,

Words do not describe how positively overwhelmed I have been checking out your multifaceted ministry website. I heard about your work through a link shown on EWTN's coverage of the Washington D.C. . March for Life. Most startling was the "Workers" section and meticulous daily Street Reports with photographs and video. Seeing the workers photographs made memories flood back to me.

Yes, I had an abortion at Hopeless back in early 1981. I am from Carbondale , IL and back then was kind of a "hippie" licensed hairdresser. I did drugs (no needles), was shamelessly immoral and sexually promiscuous and party-oriented. When I went in for a routine PAP I found out that I was about 10 weeks pregnant & had no clue. I had taken the pill since the time I was 18 and now I was 29 and my period was very short...so I didn't notice any signs. I had also taken Mescaline, a hallucenigive during the time I may have conceived & the father may have been one of 2 men... so I was concerned and I also had a congenital hearing loss in my family that was very debilitating--deafness is a scary thing to experience. I tried unsuccessfully to research natural abortives--herbs--but time was of the essence so a couple of weeks later my girlfriend brought me up. "Bad to the Bone" by George Thoroughgood was playing on the radio. I had contacted my mother for some personal health information & she guessed that I was pregnant & immediately said that I would have to get an abortion. She was ashamed. I had low self-esteem & didn't think I would make a good mother & that this would be for the best for both of us...not one person encouraged me to keep my baby.

I remember when I walked in the clinic that the reception desk had a legal petition on a clipboard to close the clinic. I also remember being put in a small waiting room separate from the bigger waiting room where all the drivers of the women waited, stripped from the waist down with my jeans & shoes in a little plastic drawstring bag, after I had been counseled & told the procedure for numbing the cervix. Each time that waiting room door opened another girl went in until I was the last to be called, just before noon...I was left all by myself, but I wouldn't have known which way to leave if I had wanted to. One of the 2 men paid for the procedure; gave me cash, $3-400.

I also remember being put under and feeling the jerking vacuum suctioning & the loud humming motor underneath it all. I don't know where my friend had been all that time, but she helped me into the car...I was weak & rested with my eyes closed on the way home...& I had mixed emotions & didn't feel like talking. The clinic gave me some white pills (that tasted like cottage cheese) to take over a period of 2 weeks to cut down risk of infection and I was told to get a checkup at home 6 weeks later. At that appointment, the Dr. was very harsh with me and asked me why I didn't get my tubes tied since I had gotten an abortion. I told him I wanted to leave the possibility of having a child open in my life. I didn't want to explain myself to him; he seemed very judgmental and hurt my feelings. (he was married & had 4 kids) I had the abortion out of fear (of my capabilities & the responsibility for a child all by myself. My mom had told me when I was a teen that if I ever got into "trouble" not to come to her for help--& I believed her.

For 15 years life went on and I had the "blues," a lot throughout my 30's never thinking of connecting that to the abortion as I was always having a very difficult relationship with my mother & had since my teens when we had to have some intervention counseling by clergy--it helped some. Shortly (one month) after the abortion I met a quadriplegic guy at a bar (he rescued me from some jerk that was pestering me as I was waiting to meet my girlfriend) and I later became his personal attendant & we grew to love each other....up until the present--26 years now.

I never again had sex with anyone; I didn't think I deserved to after having handled the consequences the way I did with the abortion. I've been celibate for over 25 years. When I was 40, I decided to read the Bible (greatest Book on earth) so I listened to a N. T. tape series while I walked for exercise. My life changed dramatically after that; I was hooked on God's Word and the Holy Spirit further guided my journey to Jesus. I had dabbled in the Eastern religions, but was unsatisfied & thought I would give the western Christian Jesus a chance. That journey led me eventually to the Catholic Church; although I was baptized a Methodist as a baby. It was then that I was convicted by the Spirit of my abortion & terribly afraid that I had somehow sent the baby (who I learned had a soul) to hell because of my actions. I had always thought the baby was tainted because of how she was conceived--in sin doing drugs--evil. I was spiritually ignorant of many things, but many caring people helped me to work through these unfounded fears & false notions. Mark has always been there to share my pain & grief. He says that "abortion is a de-fetus attitude."

In 2007, I got interviewed by 3 local papers & my picture in one facing off the opposers with my Rosary during the C'Dale Life Prayerchain.

I have to also give much credit to Al-Anon where I worked the 12 steps (over time I had 3 major relationships with different types of alcoholics) and this program helped me to learn how to love myself and not enable others in their addictions. The 11th Step--sought through prayer & meditation to know God ..... was my saving Grace & we used to end the meetings with the Lord's Prayer....a most powerful prayer I now pray the Rosary daily & the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Jesus I trust in You.

It has gotten harder as I have gotten older to bear the emotional emptiness caused by the abortion, now 57--many regrets; much guilt and many tears. Some women from a Rosary group encouraged me to name the baby...so on the 20th anniversary of what would have been her birth I named her Rose; Baby Rose. I continue to heal; just recently through watching Priests for Life, Janet Moreno enlightened me that since I had taken the pill for 10 years I could have aborted maybe 3 more babies during that time of taking contraceptives....again I went to the Confessional. Actually, I confessed the abortion to 3 different priests over time--never feeling "cleansed." I have had to forgive myself by faith. I believe the years of contraception eventually led to the abortion.

God has also greatly blessed me with a "daughter" (she lives in Alton & goes to St. Mary's) whom I sponsored in the Church and she has since had 3 lovely children and the last, Ben who is 2, is our God child. I have helped pray all 3 children into the world. Mark & I also have an older God son, Nick; 16 years old--the oldest of his brother's 2 sons. Praise Be God * * *

I am praying for my brother -- he has had a vasectomy and no children. My mother's fearful behavior greatly wounded us both. I found out she is considered a "dry-drunk"--it's complicated and caused by her woundedness. She is deceased now & I tried to make my peace as best I could.

*Well, that is my abridged story; a regrettable abortion & a defining event in my life that has devastated me throughout its various stages. You may use this story if you want, if you believe it will help anyone. Thanks for listening. ***************************

Most sincerely in Christ,

Lynn

DO YOU CARE? HOPE CLINIC SLAUGHTERHOUSE BUTCHERS ARKANSAS GIRL

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 11:32:26 GMT

January 31, 2009

Written by Angela Michael

Midwest ’s largest late-term abortion mill, where parental consent is not necessary, maimed yet another pregnant mother and murders her six month old baby.

“The doctors were getting lazy when I was there. They are inducing a lot more women to speed up the process. I’ve seen some stuff and frankly am tired of the clinic… I hate all the bad things they are doing, putting lives in danger!” ~ former Hope Clinic employee

On Friday we found out that Jahila was 24 weeks pregnant from Arkansas . She already had another baby back home and didn’t think she could handle another one. She went inside. At 10:30 a.m. some clients began leaving the abortion mill with their brown bags. Sometime after we left around 11:30 the young mother from Arkansas was rushed across the street.

We arrived at the crime scene Saturday morning only minutes after one of the new butcherettes came back from Gateway Regional Hospital conveniently located across the street from this slaughterhouse, which continues to aid in the cover-up of “back-alley abortions” happening inside Hope Clinic across the street. We were informed by witnesses the Hope chop-shop employee was inside the hospital approximately thirty minutes. We signaled point guards “red alert” ; aka botched abortion, another mutilation. Sure enough, it was the young girl from Arkansas .

The upset boyfriend came out to his car carrying bloodied clothes in a clear, plastic bag and placed them in the backseat of his car which was parked on the emergency room lot. He then went inside the hospital.

A while later, Jessica Mitcherson, the unlicensed personnel who does ultrasounds inside Hope(less), and a new butcherette came out of the abortion mill with a wheelchair. They were headed into the hospital to retrieve the botched abortion, the girl from Arkansas who suffered complications on Friday, when the mill first started her 2 day late-term procedure at the hands of either Alan Palmer, who tends to have more gross negligence and malpractice lawsuits, or chief abortionist Yogendra Shah.

Another employee has stated, “It is an assembly line inside there.” The last nurse they hired refused to run the O.R. rooms due to liability issues with these careless abortionists. Currently the “deadly Dixon duo” sisters are running them, with Clara being the certified nurse’s aide. In December, Hope Clinic contracted a former nurse to work on a per diem basis, which pays more money than a hired employee to sign out records, etc. She has not returned since.

“ J’s” late-term abortion was rushed into a 1 day procedure. She thought she was 20 weeks but turned out to be farther along. Abortion is not safe at any stage, but the farther along, the more complicated and dangerous it becomes to remove the large baby. A baby over 14 weeks must be dismembered mechanically.

Grasping forceps pull the baby’s extremities into the birth canal and the abortionist twists its arms or legs until they break off. This splinters the bone and turns it into a sharp projectile as the abortionist pulls broken limbs down the birth canal which can cause punctures or lacerations which will result in hemorrhaging.

Now mind you, there is 8.8 inches of snow and ice covering the ground and the hired killers are trudging along in a wheel-chair carrying a bag of IV fluids with the butchered woman covered in sheets in the 13 degree weather. You would think if they cared enough, the Hope Clinic would at least hoist this bleeding girl into the back of a Hope(less) employee’s mini-van as they did back in 2001 as the first photographed picture of a botched abortion inside Hope Clinic surfaced on the internet to prove how unsafe legal abortions are, or shove her into a meat-wagon and take her across the street.

Many times we have witnessed bloodied women being hauled across the street, after being butchered inside this abortion mill, to the local first aid station at Gateway Regional Hospital , where after being patched up and put back on the highway, they are no longer the abortionist’s problem. No, they are society’s problem.

Security guards from the hospital and abortion mill escorted the butchered girl back inside this slaughterhouse. “Back alley abortions have not ended, they only cost more and the butcher comes through the front doors.” The guards were asked, “Don’t you care? They are hurting women here.” One commented, “There is the HIPAA law. We can’t do anything to report it.” And the slaughter of women and their babies continues.

Why aren’t emergency room staffers and surgeons reporting these numerous incidents to the health department or Division of Professional Regulation? Crimes against women are going unreported. It’s the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” in women’s healthcare. How many more women need to be hurt, maimed, and sterilized or lying in comas or worse, killed?

Where is the outcry from feminist organizations? I thought they care about women. And that is how Hope Clinic gets by with it. They don’t care, and they know the public doesn’t care. Who is the watchdog for women’s chop-shops? No one. Not even the Health Department in Illinois is checking them out. A funeral parlor or veterinarian clinic is better regulated.

I think it tells you something when former guards and employees are seeking our ministry out to help expose the mistreatment, unlicensed personnel, and unsafe conditions inside this slaughterhouse. If abortion is legal, it should be safe.

Later that day, we were able to privately speak with the couple after she was discharged. She is very upset with the treatment she received. We told her about the many active lawsuits against Hope Clinic and the awards granted against them. She asked for the legal resources and we complied. We were able to pray with them before they headed back home for the long drive. They promised to stay in touch and keep us updated.

This is just one of the many walking wounded in society that we are dealing with, those that have survived their abortions. Back in 1973, what was once thought to be the cure-all for society’s ills and to empower women has turned out to be a devastating cancer in society. Abortion is the most un-natural act on a woman’s life and her body and we know what it does to the innocent body within. It has a ripple effect on all of those involved. And society is now reaping what we have sown over 36 years ago when this horrible holocaust was unleashed. Abortion leaves two victims: one dead and one wounded.

Psalm 130:7 "Put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with Him is full redemption."

Abortion proponents told us years ago that legalizing abortion would benefit the health and welfare of American women. It would be an acceptable part of mainstream medical care. They also told us legalized abortion would eliminate the thousands of deaths that abortion advocates claimed were happening in the back alleys. The mythology of back alley abortions has not ended with legalized abortion; it continues behind the sterile facades of fresh paint.

I realize we must sound like a broken record with every reported “botched abortion” , but if this were a puppy mill where little puppies and kittens were being mistreated or mutilated, it would make the evening news and be on the front page of the newspaper. But this should tell you how we care about human life, in the womb or out of the womb.

Do you care? It appears the only ones who care for now are the gentle Christian activists who have been showing up on the frontlines every day for over fifteen years outside this slaughterhouse in Granite City , offering real hope and another choice that a mother and a child can live with.

Small Victories Speaks for Life at Illinois State Capitol

A Recommitment to Life

January 28, 2009

Written by Angela Michael

Psalm 37:5-6 “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.”

As impeached Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, soon to be toast in political realms “Lego-my-Blago” , was doing a last-ditch media blitz in New York City , we were speaking at the historic State Capitol Rotunda where his impeachment trial is now underway. As a matter of fact, since this political travesty was unraveling, state officials attempted to cancel this pro-life rally due to impending hearings inside the Capitol, but persistent coordinators of this event pressed on, praise God!

We headed up to Springfield with threatening weather. A severe ice and snowstorm was expected by evening. We noted groups of people bundled up for the inclimate weather heading inside the capitol building. Yes, this must be the place. We went through security, as if I didn’t have enough patted down and x-rayed from the March for Life DC trip...oh well. The first floor was packed out; there was standing room only. We were whisked away to another room where we met clergy representation. After a quick introduction we prayed for this day’s ceremony and speech.

Seven of our quiver of 12 accompanied us. They were seated in the reserved seating area. It always helps and it keeps us so humble to see their shiny faces as we share our testimony with others.

This setting was full of history. Former President Abraham Lincoln spoke on these very steps. He fought slavery in the name of “a just God” without embarrassment or apology. He confronted an America in which Black Americans were not considered “persons” under the law, and were thus not entitled to fundamental Constitutional rights. Today, the children of all races who are fully viable and only minutes from being born are also denied recognition as “persons” because of the Roe v. Wade regime.

After music and children placing roses at the foot of the podium where we were speaking, the Springfield Right to Life Coordinator introduced us and gave a brief synopsis of our work and we took the stage. We held up our sign we displayed outside this historic building when we had a divine appointment back in February 10 ^th , 2007: “What if his Momma had ABORTED Obama?” That was a day of infamy. Then Democrat Illinois Senator Barack Obama was announcing his bid for the presidency. God gave us this message and asked our ministry to deliver His mail to Springfield that day in the 2 degree blizzard type weather as Mr. Obama compared himself to Abraham Lincoln. The media and secret service went ballistic after cameras panned to our sign.

This past August, the Obama campaign once again stood on the Capitol steps to introduce Mr. Obama’s VP running mate, and again God told our ministry to deliver His mail and we did. And again the media went nuts and the secret service tried to get our sign. Unbeknownst to us, Daniel’s sister operates a boutique just down from the Capitol building. We ended up ducking inside this cute little shop browsing as the federal agents ran by pursuing us. Who knew? It was a God thing. The audience clapped with laughter.

We then shared how the only pregnancy center on the other side of town in Granite City forced us to turn our family van into a mobile pregnancy resource center embedded outside the largest late-term abortion mill in the Midwest where no parental consent is necessary. “This center was only open a few hours during the week and when we did talk an abortion-bound mother from aborting, the director refused to help us with showing the mothers an ultrasound picture of their babies, and she had four sonogram machines. So instead of worrying about what this Mosaic (formerly New Beginnings) pregnancy center was not doing, we equipped ourselves to be the Red Cross on the frontlines of the battle. We and our family have been doing this for the past 15 years, daily.

“We soon realized abortion-bound women are not walking into pregnancy centers for an abortion. But, every woman walking inside Hope Clinic was there to kill. So we have had to be there every day as an alternative to abortion, and by God’s grace we have witnessed over 3000 babies saved since keeping record in the past 9 years, of those 27-28 have been adopted, including our youngest daughter. We shared her testimony of how her birthmother was addicted to drugs and was 34 weeks pregnant and there to kill. We were able to talk her into adoption; little did we know this would be our baby three nights later. But God did. He had a plan and made a way, just like we share with the mothers walking inside this abortion mill, ‘He has a plan for your baby and for your life to prosper. He only asks that you choose blessings this day and not curses.’”

We gave statistics and how God has been moving in Granite City’s little slaughterhouse the past year with the killing numbers having been cut in half, employees quitting or being fired, and numerous lawsuits against this abortion mill having been filed.

“We have seen employee conversions. The only licensed nurse inside blind-sided me several weeks ago by putting her arm around me and whispering this was her last day; our ministry has had such an effect on her she was, ‘quitting and going off to do what real nurses should be doing.’ Praise God! She was won by love. That’s what God calls us to do. Hate the sin, but love the sinner. Love them right out of this bloody business.”

I spoke briefly on my recent trip to the March for Life in Washington DC . “It was awesome to see over 300,000 marchers, but as I spoke to thousands of youth groups I asked, ‘What are we going to do after the March?’ You see, we will never win in DC. Politicians will never end abortion. You can’t fight the battle from the top down. You have to fight it from the bottom up to win. That means we have to go where we can really save babies and convert hearts.

“Unfortunately, most in the church do not believe that it is our responsibility to take the giant of child sacrifice down. We have left that battle in the hands of conservatives and Republicans and, because we have, the murder continues. Politics has always been the art of compromise.

“Only the Church can end abortion. It is not a political issue; it’s a moral issue. You can’t expect politicians to do what the Church has been ordained to do. That is you and I. We have got to rebuild our nation into a culture of life and restore respect for one’s self and one another and bring morality back. The devil comes to rob, to kill, and to destroy. Satan wants our children and, from the looks of things, he has a pretty good grip on them right now.

Daniel spoke on, “Psalm 78: The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows, turned back on the day of battle…” God equipped the men of Ephraim with all the weapons they needed to fight the enemy, but they turned their backs on the battle. Today, God has given us all of the tools and weapons we need to fight the giant of abortion, but we aren’t doing it. We must show up for the battle! We have everything we need to win the war.

I shared the rescue analogy: “It’s 2 a.m. and you wake up hearing the screams of little children. You look out the window. Flames are consuming your neighbors’ house where the children are trapped. Do you just stay in bed and say, ‘Oh, well, I’ll pray for them,’? No! You jump out of bed, race to the house, and do everything you can to save those kids. Proverbs 24:11-12. Your neighbor’s toddler falls into the pool. ‘Help! Help!...he’s drowning!’ What do you do? Tell them you’ll do a diaper drive? No! You dive into the pool and rescue. Proverbs 24:11-12. That is what we do everyday.

“In closing, I want to encourage and thank all of you for coming out in this cold weather today. This past Sunday was declared Sanctity of Life Sunday by President Bush some years ago. I applaud those courageous pastors and priests in the audience who had a backbone and preached in defense of the pre-born, the aged, and disabled. These men of God who were not afraid they would lose their buildings, livelihood, or church members.

“Any pastor or priest who cannot openly condemn murder in the womb or speak the truth on abortion has no right to be in the pulpit. He might as well hang a beer sign off his building or just close the doors. As the church goes, so does our nation. Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.

“And my suggestion to pastors for their daily sermons and intentions is to include saying ‘Happy Birthday to anyone celebrating a birthday today and let us also remember the unborn babies that want to celebrate their birthday’s.’ This should be included every week from every pastor.

“Remember, a movement begins with one person. You have a choice: you can listen to your conscience and work to secure the rights of the unborn to share in the fruits of our hard won liberty, or you can choose to turn your back on them. As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord and continue rescuing, and rescuing often.”

After a standing ovation we were whisked off the stage. A local television crew wanted to interview us for the evening news, which we obliged to. After the interview, o ur youngest tried out the tile floors of the Capital building.
We ended the afternoon attending the overflowing reception where we shook hands and posed for photos with members of the audience and the president of Springfield Right to Life. It was such an honor and blessing to see so many who took the time to come out, and after our speech complimented us. One of the organizers came up to us and reported many of the audience were telling her, “They were the best speakers we ever had.” A lot of the people came up to us saying, “That needed to be said, especially the part about the Church.” I knew I hit them with the velvet hammer. Jeremiah 23:29 “Is not My word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?” It was the right message for a time such as this. Thank you Lord for making us Your messengers.

What if his Momma had ABORTED Obama?

Mrs. Michael Goes Back to Washington

January 27, 2009

Written by Angela Michael

“This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.” ~Abraham Lincoln

Praise God we didn’t fly into a flock of birds! However, after landing in Washington D.C. for the March for Life, we ran into flocks of Obama revelers. It was a mad exodus of Obamanites still giddy from the festivities of the most pro-abortion, liberal, slick, Chicago politician, now President. Everywhere you looked there were little remnants of the Inauguration extravaganza. Thank God our handler was there to meet us at the gate with a sign reading “Angela Michael.” We were there at the invitation to be the featured speaker to thousands of youth groups, leaders, and ministers during the 36 ^th annual March for Life at the Life Really Matters Conference.

The next morning, we were at the Hyatt Regency where we ran into Miss Norma McCorvey, of Roe No More Ministries. We later attended the March for Life. Notably, pro-life numbers had swelled. Everywhere you looked were groups and buses of pro-life warriors. It was a sea of pro-lifers that were converging on the national mall outside the Capitol. There was excitement in the air.

Various speakers were on the stage including March for Life organizer Nellie Gray. It was the same regurgitated spill from politicians. The same post-abortion groups show up every year, but you won’t see them outside most abortion mills after the annual march. We ran into Fr. Frank Pavone from Priests for Life. He always has a kind word of encouragement when we see him at such rallies. He, too, was impressed with our sign. The speeches had just about brought us to nauseam when his assistant Janet Morena went out of her way from the stage to give us a thumbs-up after viewing our message.

It was time to march, which we did. As we traveled up to Constitution Ave , many from the media interviewed us and took our photo. As we marched we were packed in like sardines; there were so many marchers. Along the way, we ran into pro-life veterans such as Joe Schiedler, director of Pro-life Action League, who was thankful we were there and told us to pray for the new President. At the Supreme Court we laid roses and we met up with the founder of Operation Rescue, Randall Terry and his beautiful family. He was on a loud speaker telling marchers, “It doesn’t end here. We must march to our local abortion mills and do more.” We shared the same sentiments. We stood in front of the United States Capitol as close as the capitol police would let us stand and others were taking our picture. “That’s the best sign here!” one man shouted.

What was so surprising was the attention our sign was getting from the media, onlookers, secret service police, and administration. The Lord gave us this message February 10, 2007 in Springfield , IL where Barack Obama announced his intent to run for President of the United States . We felt this was a good time to deliver God’s mail to the newly elected President.

The irony of Obama being the first Black American president is that had this election been cast in the 19 ^th century, he wouldn’t have even been allowed to vote. Black Americans were considered non persons, just like babies are considered non persons today. Abolitionists were the ones who fought for the slaves under Lincoln ’s administration, whereas today you have baby abolitionists fighting for the rights of unborn babies who are enslaved inside their mothers’ wombs.

Barack Hussein Obama took an oath to uphold the Constitution and the first inalienable right-the right to life. You cannot enjoy liberty and the pursuit of happiness without the first. Obama is a judgment from God against the Church. God only gave us what this nation asked for. 1 Samuel 8. Maybe the election of the most liberal, pro-abortion, slick, Chicago politician, now President is the best thing that could have happened to the pro-life movement since the Clinton administration.

Finally with the threats of the Freedom of Choice Act legislation being shoved down our throats, maybe it will cause the Church to wake up from its slumber and take its rightful position in this battle, that being out of the building and on the front lines. Abortion will end when the Church of Jesus Christ says it will end and not one second sooner. It’s up to you and me. Let us not look to Congress to do what the Church has been ordained to do.

We hooked up with Fr. Chris Comeford, a local pastor who unashamedly stands for the babies and valiantly stood with us for a while. He gave us an appropriate pin which read, “You can’t just say you’re pro-life, you have to act like it.” Amen! The hour was getting late; we had a speaking engagement. We got back to the hotel in time to grab a bite to eat, go over notes, answer some messages, and check in on the family back home. We ran to the conference room and it was the size of four ball rooms as the crew was arranging the seats and the band was setting up. It was a little intimidating to speak to such a large group, but when God tells you to do something, you “Go ye.”

Bam! It was show time. We walked into the auditorium and it was full of pro-life people and gear. Amazing! After a great introduction, we walked up to the stage and began giving the audience “heaven”. I held the sign we marched with through the streets of DC: “What if his Momma had aborted Obama? Life really matters!” Don’t you think it’s a little hypocritical to be pro-choice after you have already been born Mr. President?

We introduced a short showcase of our ministry outside the largest late-term abortion mill in the Midwest and went into Hannah Noelle’s testimony. There were ooh’s and aah’s from this massive audience. “Turn to your neighbor and tell them you love them. Really? Would you lay your life down for that person next to you?” I asked them. We shared analogies of rescue and the implications of rescuing babies. This drew applause. In closing, we thanked them for coming to DC and the visibility of over 300,000 took our breath away as we marched in unison for life.

“Young pilgrims, we need you. We need your enthusiasm and ideas and your bodies. After we march in DC we need to take the proclaiming line outside every local extermination camp in your cities and stand for life where babies can really be saved. We will never win the battle from the top down, that being here in Washington DC . Abortion is not a political issue; it’s a moral issue. We have to fight from the bottom up- that is a grassroots effort outside the abortion mills. I’m going to where we can really save babies and change hearts.

It’s up to you and I to rebuild a culture of life, to restore respect for one’s self and one another. Your character will be determined by what you listen to, what movies you watch, what kind of music you listen to, and who you hang around with. Remember, a gift will get you anywhere in life, your character will keep you there.”

We closed with a short video of our ministry and chronicling our baby daughter’s lifesong up to date. Before it was over, they gave us a standing ovation of applause. We exited the stage with help through a side door into the lobby where we had a few minutes to compose ourselves for the huge, overflowing reception. It was truly a humbling experience. Kids, leaders, and parents were standing in line to meet or thank us and asking to take our photos with them. Quite the honor. One man in line compared us to the next American Idol hysteria that has just begun its 8 ^th season. We jokingly laughed.

Though all hell may be breaking out all around us, Lord, You brought us through it to deliver a message of real hope and encouragement to future generations. As we write this report, a snow and ice storm is underway. One of the worst we have experienced. Thank you Lord, that You delivered us safely from DC before the inclement weather, and You kept Your promise: You provided for all our needs which we are truly grateful for. You placed generous hearts across our paths. “Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Genesis 28:15

Being blessed with a heart of an adventurer held in God’s hands keeps us valiant, curious, and brave, without exception, without compromise, without apology. Thank you Jesus!

New Year, New Baby, New Victories

“They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share.” 1 Timothy 6:18

“Make all you can, save all you can, give all you can.” ~John Wesley

What an encouraging start to the new year! A new baby that was saved from the jaws of death outside Hope Clinic in Granite City , Illinois , the largest late-term abortion mill in the Midwest . We first met this mother of five in September. She was 20 weeks pregnant. The devil was hard after this innocent blood. We pleaded mercy as she walked up to the abortion mill entrance to sign the death warrant. She turned and told us she had to have this abortion. We didn’t back down; we kept praying and the Lord answered. She and her friend walked back out and into our arms looking for real hope and help.

We prayed with her and her friend and convinced her that taking her baby’s life was not the answer. “God has a plan for you and your child. He is the King’s child, and he is destined for great things. All that baby needs is a chance.” She left the mill and promised to contact us.

Right before Christmas we were able to purchase a crib, coats for her other children, and gather other baby supplies she would be needing. A neighbor brought her to the abortion mill where we loaded her car with everything. We were still working on a few gifts for the other children for Christmas including a “Dora” bike for her 4 year old.

Carla lives in East St Louis . It is a poor, crime infested, depressed area. Its major industries are drugs and prostitution. It houses a million dollar federal courthouse which appears to look like the Taj Mahal in the middle of Beirut. Illinois has always been referred to as the “Land of Lincoln ”. Now, it’s the Land of Corruption . Thanks Governor!

After we witnessed along with our pregnancy resource van earlier in the morning, we headed over to St. Louis where this little one made his debut on New Year’s Day. At the hospital, Carla told us how Sean came into the world. On New Year’s Eve she went to the emergency room with pains and some bleeding, but since she was not in full term labor, they sent her back home.

The next two hours were unbelievable. She and her three girls were cowering on the floor of her kitchen New Years Eve as bullets were flying over her head. One is stuck in her kitchen wall. She said her labor pains were increasing, but she and her girls were afraid they would get hit if they left the floor. When she couldn’t bear the pain anymore, she returned to the same hospital where hours earlier they released her. This time they kept her as baby Sean , 8lbs. 4 oz., arrived shortly after her admittance.

“This neighborhood is much better than the last,” she told me. Can you imagine having a life like that? This goes on everyday. We are determined to try and make her life a little more enjoyable.

Carla handed this bundle of joy to me and I scooped him up. “Wow, he’s beautiful! We have been waiting for you little man. Your momma has taken such good care of you.” I inspected his broad shoulders and said, “You’ll be a football player, and you will take good care of your momma.” Thank you Lord for blessing us so. “Castles, they may crumble; dreams may not come true, but you are never all alone, ‘cause I will always, always love you.” ~Plumb

Before we departed home, Isabella wanted to see the other babies in the nursery. I hugged Carla and inquired on the extra hands she would be needing with Sean’s care and emphasized, “Rest, rest when you can.” (We mothers know how that goes. : ) I promised to send two fleece blanket sleepers to keep him warm. Carla was so thankful. She shared with us that she is saved and has been in and out of churches, but is determined to raise her children right and keep them from bad things.

We visited the nursery and it was all baby boys. Isabella said, “Mom, there’s no girls.” “That’s because we got them all.” She laughed and we thanked the doctors and nurses and checked in on Carla one more time as we left.

It is a new year and a new baby making for new beginnings. “God has made everything suitable for its time; moreover He has put a sense of past and future into their minds.” Ecclesiastes 3:11.

God’s gift to us each day arrives as surely as dawn follows night. No matter what came before, each day is a new beginning. Sharing daily miracles with loved ones makes an ordinary celebration extraordinary. We are leaving a legacy to younger generations to pick up the banner and follow in our footsteps; to pick up their crosses and crawl over our backs onto the barbwire and continue standing for righteousness and loving the mothers and orphans in Jesus’ name.

“Bag-Boy Blagojevich Finally gets Bagged”

“For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him” 2 Peter 2:19

Written by Angela Michael

December 2008

We in Illinois, the Land of Lincoln, should not be surprised at Tuesday’s media blitz and coverage of IL Governor Rod Blagojevich’s arrest for alleged corruption. We have been citing this fermenting garbage for sometime. As you drive into Illinois there are state line signs with corn and skyscrapers in the background. What a farce! Those cornfields have been replaced with corruption and ill repute. Illinois is a cesspool of wickedness and crime. But this is just a continuance of the Al Capone type of politics “Chicago-deep dish.” That’s why Republicans don’t stand a chance here in Illinois of ever winning anything. But that should not deter them from trying. Good for them.

Illinois has always been free-wheeling and dealing when it comes to vice. Why should we be appalled at the recent arrest of the state leader? It’s Chicago politics as usual. Why shouldn’t the recently vacated Senate seat be sold to the highest bidder? It just goes hand in hand with the rest of the evil that abounds here in the Land of Lincoln .

Standing daily outside the infamous Midwest’s largest late-term abortion mill, Hope Clinic located in Granite City , Illinois where there is no regulation, we have seen it all. We in Southern Illinois, deal with the trickle-down effect of Chicago politics. On our website read for yourselves the “Granite City’s Underage Abyss” of abortion and the crimes against children that go unreported and unregulated inside this chop-shop. Lawlessness thrives here. If you want sex, drugs, and murder, come on over. Lay your money down here in Illinois . The floodgates to depravity are open wide for all to be seduced. Name your price...

Hot-Rod Blago was just arrogant and stupid. He made a lot of those in the Democratic Daley Machine political groupies mad. So they threw him under the bus. The Governor got caught selling the soon to be President elect’s senate seat through wiretaps. What is so concerning is that he was just a governor, for goodness sake; just wait till the spoon-fed Anti-America Chicago-style politician Barack Hussein Obama gets in the White House. Do you think Obama is any different from Blagojevich? Proverbs 26:11 “As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.” Americans better open their wallets even bigger. Oh, we are going to get change alright, more like “better gimme yo change,” Chicago-deep dish. Bon appetite.

HOPE CLINIC IS HEMORRHAGING

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 10:43:29 GMT

Proverbs 11:5-6 “The righteousness of the blameless makes a straight way for them, but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness. The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.”

November 13, 2008

Written by Angela Michael

The once mighty Goliath of the abortion industry in the Midwest, Hope Clinic in Granite City , IL , that has killed more preborn babies than any other abortion mill in the United States- over 400,000, is beginning to crumble.

An abortion mill that used to kill over 13,104 babies a year in its heyday when it re-opened in 1999 after building a new $2 million “state-of-the art” mill is beginning to fall like the roman empire. Women were lined up 5 days a week to get an abortion and on some days 60-70 women were going into the mill. Abortion is legal, but we know it breaks God’s heart. Proverbs 28:4 “They that forsake the law praise the wicked, but those that keep the law contend with them.”

The Hope Clinic now is only open 18 days a month and instead of killing over 300 babies a week, they average less than 100 per week! God Himself has proclaimed that “child killing is an abomination and if My people and Church will stand for righteousness and defend the unborn, I will reward their faithfulness.”

We know God is answering prayers and dealing with the abortion mill as the turmoil continues inside. God is confirming what we already suspected. We recently began deposing former guards and employees that are speaking out concerning the atrocities that have been happening under the current management inside this slaughterhouse. Four lawsuits have been filed against this chop-shop since February of this year. You would think by now someone inside Hope(less) would know how to do an abortion. I think it tells you something when Hope(less) employees are contacting gentle Christian warriors and asking them for help in exposing what is happening behind those purple doors. Especially how, “women are being mistreated.”

God is dealing with this house of horrors. We have been watching the daily killing numbers dwindle in the past few months. Between the pressure of mounting lawsuits of negligence, battery, and malpractice, disciplinary problems with hired criminal employees, and trying to keep up with upper management’s high salaries the Hope slaughterhouse is having a hard time finding professional “hitmen” to kill babies in the womb ie: abortionist-in-training Lisa Memmel is on the run after the last lawsuit was filed against her. Another Chicagoan abortionist-in-training Amy Whitaker has not been back since Memmel was sued. They are canceling appointments because they can’t find anyone else to kill the day’s scheduled babies. Praise God!

Let’s face it, chief abortionist Yogendra Shah is getting up in years and abortionist Alan Palmer is having a lot of legal and family problems. He’s barely showing up anymore. We are getting confirmation this bloody business is crumbling! One former staffer told us, “You must be doing good, their numbers continue going down.” Alleluia!

Now over 50 employees have been fired or quit (long-time former employees Allison Hile, Toni Bautsch, Julie Adams, and Rebecca Smith were making big money); many of them have left this murder mill and others have been named in lawsuits that are active. Visit our workers' gallery to see all the employees that have been fired or quit.

They have to close their busiest days because they have no abortionist to kill babies. On one recent Saturday, which is their busiest day of the week, they killed only 10 babies and the two employees closed up. The safest place to be in the womb for now is Granite City . For now, their doors are closed temporarily.

The hearts of the Hope(less) workers are changing. They have seen the dedication and faithfulness of gentle Christian warriors and what they are willing to go through to save one life, let alone 3000.

The workers inside the mill hate what they are doing. That is why they take drugs and painkillers to medicate themselves on the job. Employees have been busted for this. A lot of abortionists are alcoholics, because they hate themselves and those who stand outside and tell them the truth in love and confront them in their sin. God is breaking their hearts to bring them to their knees in repentance.

The battle for the lives of preborn children must be won in the streets at the very gates of hell. Politicians and presidents are not going to stop abortion. Yes, they will throw pro-life bones our way, but it won’t save one baby. This has been proven with the partial-birth abortion ban signed by President Bush. It hasn’t saved one baby from this barbaric act. It is still legal in all fifty states.

So we have the most liberal pro-abort Muslim President-elect, and we are staring down the barrel of F.O.C.A proposed legislation, get over it. We who live the Bible out on the streets know abortion is not a political issue. It’s a moral issue, but we’re fighting it everyway but the one and only way that will bring it to an abrupt end and that is when the Church of Jesus Christ runs to the battle, shows up, and says it’s over and not one day sooner will it come to an end.

Remember when former pro-abortion President Bill Clinton was in office, abortions went down and abortion mills closed? Not one pro-life piece of legislation was passed during this time. What happened? Gentle Christian warriors showed up outside these gates and stood in the gap and held a banner where a banner never flew. We know the devil’s time here on earth is fleeting. When you fight the enemy and wield the sword of the spirit, he is no match and the devil will flee.

The humanity of the little child in the womb of his mother has become almost impossible to deny, thanks to science, technology, and the bold witness of gentle Christians who have stormed the gates of hell and shown the truth in the streets of their cities. The truth, concerning the sanctity and preciousness of life, is overwhelming the lie of abortion. Hope Clinic does not have enough fingers to put in the dike to stop the hemorrhaging.

This has been proven as we fought a federal lawsuit and God prevailed in the courts. This little remnant has the God-given legal right to show the truth of abortion in the streets of Granite City , even during their parades. God has blessed our 15 years of faithfulness standing outside this mill. Almost 3000 babies have been saved in the past 7 years, and 27 have been adopted. John 15:5.

You know its going to be a good day when the once full and running over parking lot was packed and now we pull our ultrasound van up to the giant baby killing machine and its lot is barren.

Many babies have been saved from the slaughter and we are blessed with extended families. God touched our family in a special way with the birth and adoption of our 12 ^th child who was saved from this mill. Another blessing!

We pray that this will be an encouragement to you. The abortion industry is crumbling. With the tremendous drop in abortive mothers it’s only a matter of time before this slaughterhouse joins the list of more than 1500 abortion mills that have closed in the past 15 years.

These are exciting times and these are perilous times. Yes, you heard me correctly. All hell may be breaking out around us, but hopefully this will encourage the disheartened. For years this family has with stood all kinds of indignation, insult, attacks, and trials and persecution. But if God be for us who would go against us? Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think we would see the light at the end of the tunnel, and for once it’s not a train bearing down on us. Let these little victories encourage the faint of heart as they are huge victories in God’s eyes. Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”

As always, be encouraged ~Angela

The “Messiah” Comes to the Midwest

Small Victories Brings the Truth to the Show Me State

October 18, 2008

1 Samuel 8:5-7 “They said to Samuel, “You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their king.”

There was a mad exodus in Missouri , the Show Me state, as we showed them what Barack Obama stands for. We were greeted with a sea of approximately 100,000 supporters quickly pouring under the Gateway to the West. This was the largest crowd in Barack Obama’s history of political rallies.

There were only a few of us standing in the gap for the unborn babies. It was a miracle we made it out alive without being physically assaulted. The people were so aggressive we weren’t able to show the graphic signs for long, but we tried. Baby Malachi was hated. We passed out literature, which, of course, was thrown to the ground. What ever happened to “tolerance”?

“Poor” -choice dignitaries were on hand under the main staging area such as Missouri democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, pro-abortion and Catholic and Mayor Francis Slay, also pro-abortion and Catholic. East St. Louis native and Olympian Jackie Joyner-Kersee waved to her fans as they waited in anticipation for their "king".

It was unbelievable, the anger that the crowds of Obamanites felt towards the truth bearers. The signs were hated and booed. Our ultrasound van was cursed at and received many middle-finger salutes from young democratic liberals. What were we thinking? The deluded multitudes hate pre-born children. Swarms of police and secret service agents surrounded the Arch grounds.

You would think the democratic presidential candidate was a rock star with some of the comments people were directing towards us. One man told us, “OOOHH! I got to touch him at his last rally.”

We stood strategically to the crowds and moved our positions several times throughout the event. Yes, even though baby Malachi was dead, his voice spoke volumes at his very presence. This is America and America, for the most part, is enamored with the slick talking Chicago politician now known as the “Messiah” about to bring “change” to our nation. Like lambs being led to the slaughter, we thought there was a spirit of “Obama” drunkenness around us as we stood in the enemy’s camp.

Our nation is living in a culture of death. They, for the most part, love abortion. Just like Mr. Obama. He has voted for every piece of pro-abortion legislation put before him here in Illinois . Even infanticide. If a pre-born baby is born alive during an abortion, he voted for legislation to avoid all attempts to resuscitate and maintain life support for an infant. “All those who hate me love death.” Proverbs 8:36.

What has eerily begun with propaganda of school children singing a catchy Obama tune will end with the deaths of more millions of children in the womb. We are repeating history. There are so very few left to be the watchmen to warn of the lurking danger.

There was another charismatic fellow from our history who turned the world upside down and came into power during economic hard times and deluded the people with promises of “change”. This delusion ultimately led to the destruction of over 6 million Jews alone.

Now, this same “king” has sat in his church for over twenty years listening to his pastor G—damning America and Obama personally mocked a small Pennsylvania town for “clinging to its religion and guns”. Liberty and the pursuit of happiness? How can we enjoy either without the first inalienable right to LIFE ?

I am not so much afraid for my freedoms, but when I think of our children and grandchildren still to come, it causes me to tremble. Who will speak up for the little ones? Who will care for the elderly, the disabled?

The world has rejected the Lord’s ways. Everyone does as he pleases, forsaking God’s laws, slaves to the king. One day there will come a time when the people will cry out to the Lord for relief from the king they have chosen, but will the Lord answer?

Illinois Taxpayer-Funded Abortions Exposed

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 10:26:59 GMT

October 8, 2008

Written by Angela Michael

Ecclesiastes 12:14 “For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.”

The broken cistern in Illinois is finally being found out and investigated. Something that most Illinois taxpayers aren’t aware of that has been happening for years comes to light. For some time now we have been reporting abortion-bound clients and the death merchants have been reaching in our wallets to pay for something we do not believe in or support, just from Granite City alone. That is some nerve.

On numerous occasions in street-side counseling sessions outside the Midwest largest late-term abortion mill, Hope Clinic, many indigent women have admitted to us their medical card was paying for their abortions. Not just the earmarked 25% allotted through the government in cases of rape, but the full price . We have come across clients who brazenly admitted their late-term abortions were costly and their medical card would cover it as long as they claimed the pregnancy was a result of rape. All they had to do when filling out their forms was place a mark in the box indicating they had been raped.

Taxpayers are footing the bills for immoral behavior. Now, there may be some who don’t have a problem with this sham. I have heard from taxpayers that they don’t mind paying for an abortion. It would be better than having the government be the daddy for 18 years. What most don’t realize is this is a broken cistern. Multiple abortions, or as we call them “frequent flyers”, are abusing the medical card to pay for their surgical birth-control.

These are just a few instances: February 2007- Hope Clinic told Amelia, 24 weeks, they, “would need $1000 or her Medicaid card.” July 2007- At least two of the mothers this day responded to our offers of free help with, “Oh that’s okay. I’ve got a medical card, I’m good. Thank you anyways.” That takes some nerve. These sinning-sinners tell Illinois taxpayers to go to hell and mind our own business, then they reach inside our wallets to pay for that bloody-business.

The abortion mill is not going to report this. All they care about is the money. They don’t care how they get paid. Some of the abortion clients not only pay cash, but their medical cards are being billed too. It’s referred to as “double-billing" . No one is watching or regulating this lucrative business. Not the health department or the IRS. It’s another case of Big Brother looking the other way while the fox is guarding the hen house.

If all these clients claim they were raped, why isn’t this crime being reported and authorities investigating? Abortion mills are the red-light district of health care. And that’s a stretch. The following confirms our concerns we have been whistle-blowing for some time.

Congressmen query sudden 2007 jump in Illinois ' Medicaid-funded abortions

http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2008/10/investigation-o.html

This week, 83 U.S. House members called for the HHS to look into a sudden hike in the number of abortions Medicaid is funding in Illinois .

from Penny Pullen's Oct 3 Life Advocacy Briefing:

SOME 83 MEMBERS OF THE U.S. HOUSE ARE PRESSING the Dept. of Health & Human Services (HHS) for an investigation into whether the State of Illinois is abusing the federal Medicaid program by seeking reimbursement for abortions which fall outside the narrow limits of the Hyde Amendment.

Under the long-standing amendment first and famously offered by the late Rep. Henry J. Hyde (R-IL), the federal Medicaid program can subsidize only abortions necessary to save the physical life of the mother or, in later iterations since the Clinton regime, abortions to eliminate babies conceived during the commission of a sex crime. Even with the rape/incest loophole, the number of tax-funded Medicaid abortions is expected to be exceedingly scant and has been minuscule.

Indeed, the number of Medicaid-reimbursed abortions nationwide was 196 in 2006, reports Focus on the Family’s CitizenLink, but in 2007, notes CitizenLink, “the number jumped to 458.

“In 2006, Illinois reported 84 federally funded abortions in cases of rape,” a number which even then was high as a share of the nationwide funded death toll. But in 2007, Medicaid reimbursement for abortions committed in Illinois , allegedly limited as under the Hyde Amendment, “jumped to 363,” reports CitizenLink, accounting for the entire nationwide increase.

The Sept. 26 letter from the 83 Congressmen, which seeks “detailed information regarding this increase” – specifically the Illinois increase – is the second letter Members of Congress have sent to HHS seeking such an investigation; the other was sent in June by Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Bart Stupak (D-MI), co-chairmen of the House Pro-Life Caucus. We publish the text of the letter near the close of this Life Advocacy Briefing and list the signers of the letter next.

Concerned Women for America - Illinois issued the following statement this morning:

-- Eighty-three U.S. Congressmen, including Illinois Congressmen John Shimkus (R-19) and Jerry Costello (D-12) sent a letter dated September 26, 2008, to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt asking for information about the dramatic and sudden increase in Medicare and Medicaid-funded abortions due to rape in Illinois .

According to a document by the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, the spike, entirely due to increased numbers in Illinois alone, rose from 20 in FY2005 to 84 in FY2006 and 363 in FY2007. Other states show no comparable increases.

The letter requested specific information about this puzzling and alarming increase including whether the abortions were in a particular region or facility in Illinois, if the criminal rapes were verified, and, if unlawfully funded, were the funds recovered or are they in the process of being recovered.

Concerned Women for America (CWA) of Illinois stands with these honorable Congressmen in requesting this vital information in light of the disturbing fact that sexual assault crimes may be involved in these cases in our state.

Small Victories Brings Baby Malachi to the VP Debate in St. Louis , MO

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 10:21:17 GMT

October 2, 2008

Written by Angela Michael

Ezekiel 22:30 “I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it.”

Although murdered by abortion, Baby Malachi spoke loudly outside Washington University in St. Louis today, in beautiful crisp fall weather.

Small Victories Ministry brought the truth of abortion to Washington University as many passing by witnessed the horrible truth of abortion. The campus was abuzz with journalists and the world was watching as anticipation was mounting for the Vice Presidential debate this evening.

After ministering outside Planned Parenthood in St. Louis and the Hope Clinic in Granite City ,IL where numbers were low and two

babies were saved, Daniel, Angela, and Savanah Michael brought the proclaiming line onto the university and talked to Charis Fischer, the President of the Wa s hington University Republican Party, and met Chris Wallace of Fox News. They exposed the evils of abortion as hundreds drove by. Ephesians 5:11 “Have nothing to do with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, rather expose them.”

The Republican student president was appalled at the sight of abortion. “I’m glad you all are here and we believe in what you stand for.” We informed her this was a divine appointment as we have been wanting to expose the underbelly of abortion within this campus.

Unfortunately, Washington University is also accepting the murdered babies’ body parts for research and studies from the slaughterhouse in Granite City , Illinois where we stand 5 days a week. Most of our deathscorts are recruited from this University of learning. Hope abortion mill deathcamp director (soon-to-be retired) Sally Burgess speaks over there quite often. It probably helps to facilitate opportunities when her husband George “Wilson” Burgess is a professor at Washington University . We exchanged contact information and she thanked us again for being there exposing the truth.

Washington U. was swarming with police, media, and liberals. We introduced Baby Malachi to this campus and they went nuts! One irate woman screamed at us, “My kids! My kids are in the car!” (We didn’t see any kids.) We received a few thumbs up and honks of support.

The debate includes Republican and pro-life Governor Sarah Palin and Democratic Senator Joe Biden, who is a professing Catholic and pro-abortion. This is what Mr. Biden stands for: child killing. Mrs. Palin is a breath of fresh air to the Republican Party, and although no one is perfect except God, she brings hope to this spiraling party. She is a strong woman in leadership with her husband at her side.

She is a woman God can use to wake up the GOP just like God used Deborah in the Bible to shame men into leadership. Hopefully, Palin may bring the Republican Party back to its moral values by buying us some time to clean up our act. “Men may be the head of the house, but women are the neck telling him which way to turn.”

We realized that we can’t depend on politicians to stop abortion. That is up to the Church of Jesus Christ. But if OsamaBama is elected this country’s leader, katy-bar-the door.

Ezekiel 22 “See how each of the princes of Israel within you uses his power to shed blood. They have oppressed the alien and mistreated the fatherless and the widow. ‘They have forgotten me,’ declares the Sovereign Lord.”

Saving Lives, Rescuing Babies One Heart at a Time

September 18, 2008

Written by Angela Michael

“You have seen what I did. Therefore, if you obey My voice and keep My covenant, you shall be My treasured possession.” Exodus 19:4-5

Does standing outside an abortion mill do any good? Here is yet another success story of a baby scheduled to die and rescued from the Midwest ’s largest late-term abortion mill:

May 23, 2008 - God was answering prayer and blessing our efforts with much fruit this day. We rejoiced with the opportunity to show three mothers the precious life growing in their wombs. Unfortunately, our 21 year old ultrasound van ran out of power and we had to run the fourth save over to our staff obstetrician who was extremely busy with his regular patients, but made the time to see this distressed mother who was being forced inside the deathcamp to kill.

Angel was leaving the abortion mill as she was walking to her car. The Lord told me what to say. She looked up and had a strange expression. She was needing a touch from the Lord this day. We offered to show her a picture.

She looked at the driver and pleaded with him; she wanted to see a picture. I directed them to our van which is forced to park on a lowly side street. I sensed the desperation and hastened her inside. I had no idea what we were in store for…BAM! Her friend chose to stay outside and smoke.

I immediately placed the scanner on her protruding tummy. He came up right away. I measured. She looked over. I pointed and said, “There’s your baby.” She looked over and said, “Oh Lord, I can’t do this now. It’s moving. Is that its hand? Oh, Lord Jesus help me,” she cried. I knew she knew the Lord at this point. “Your baby is auditioning for its life right now.” She then tearfully unfolded this unfortunate situation. I peered over at the deathcamp and the butcherettes were standing on the curb smoking and watching as if they were lying in wait. “Vultures,” I thought.

A women’s shelter was coercing Angel to get rid of her 5 ^th child. She already had three girls and one boy living in a domestic violence shelter. She was married, but the father of the children was abusive. “I can’t come back with this baby or I will get kicked out.” “They can’t do that. We will try and help you with housing. How about family?” She got my ire going when she told me her father was a bishop in the church. He along with her mother was encouraging her to have the abortion. Later we found out the father told her not to come back unless she got her abortion.

Even the abortion mill was angry with Angel; they were pressuring her. They sensed her maternal instincts kicking in when she asked to see the ultrasound. They refused to show her and when she asked the sex, they replied it was against the law to tell her. I was livid. “ You know why Angel? Because if you saw this precious baby or knew the sex you would change your mind on the abortion.”

Angel then told us how she almost aborted her fourth baby, a darling little girl. Tears rolled down her face. “That baby girl is so precious to me. She is a momma’s baby. I can’t imagine life without her.” I grabbed her hand and said, “Angel, then why would you let the devil talk you into killing this precious one?” “I just don’t know how I’m gonna do it,” she said. “You alone are not gonna do it, but if the Lord be for you, who would come against you? Angel, you know God has an awesome plan for this baby and the ones at home. With a little help and guidance you can get through this. It’s not going to be easy, but anything in life worth having isn’t easy.”

Angel asked if we knew what she was having. “It appears to be a boy.” She almost jumped off the seat. “Oh Lord!” she exclaimed. She looked over and watched her son suck his thumb. She told me through tears of relief that the abortion mill would not let her leave unless she made another appointment to begin the late-term abortion. “It’s scheduled for this Tuesday and they wanted $1500.00 more dollars.” I still felt the uncertainty. I asked Angel if the abortion mill explained how they would kill her son. She said, “No.” I then showed her the graphic step-by-step illustration of a D & E abortion. “It is very painful as he gets no pain medication and it’s very dangerous.” She was horrified. “They ain’t doin’ that to my baby.”

Just then, we were getting low on power to finish the ultrasound. I summoned Daniel and relayed the situation and that we needed further assistance and confirmation. He made the phone calls and after we prayed and exchanged contact information, we walked Angel and her friend over to the doctor’s office for further evaluation. They thanked us and were very grateful. “Remember Angel, the devil is hard after innocent blood. That’s what keeps his bloodline going here on earth.” Daniel would stay behind and get them in the office.

Three and a half months later:

We rejoiced in the Lord as Small Victories save “Tylan Angelo Daniel Jones” made his debut at 6 lbs 15 oz 18 inches in length. His mother Angel went into labor at 3:30 a.m.

We first met her outside the abortion mill where the death merchants were pressuring her to complete the late-term abortion or be charged full price: $2400.00. She came outside that hot day to think as she was struggling with four other children and living in a domestic violence shelter in Alton , Illinois that brought her to the mill and was encouraging her to have the abortion as, “it would be a burden to bring another child into the world.” Even her family was discouraging her to keep the baby. Her father, a pastor in East St. Louis , told her, “not to come back till she got rid of the baby.”

Praise God, she took me up on an offer to show her a picture of her baby in the ultrasound van. She broke down once inside and began relaying the pressure tactics and threats made to her from Hope abortion staff. She viewed her baby boy on the ultrasound screen and was broken. She was approx 24 weeks. After much praying and tears, we took her across the street to our staff obstetrician for confirmation and follow-up.

Since then, God has been moving in her life. She chose blessings instead of curses and she has prospered. Thank you Jesus! She now owns a five bedroom house and we are helping her with furnishings. Her family has repented of ever thinking of killing that grandbaby. They are very supportive.

When we got to hold baby Tylan for the first time, I whispered how much we loved him and had been waiting for him to arrive and all the sudden his large brown eyes popped open and he looked directly at me. Angel gasped and said, “That’s the first time he opened his eyes. He recognizes your voice.” We smiled. “Well, I do remember speaking directly to your protruding tummy on that fateful day. I was telling this baby how precious he was and how God has His hand on him and praying his mom would not take his life.” Tears were rolling down all who were present in that hospital room hearing this joyful testimony of this baby’s rescue.

Even the nurses heard the story from Angel during her labor and delivery. Praise God! We were so glad to be able to get the much needed crib and supplies to Angel last week. We were down to the wire.

We are still seeking bunk beds for the other children to sleep on instead of bare floors. We hugged and looked forward to this baby boy’s dedication. Angel phoned the next day and let us know she was naming the baby after both Daniel and Angela. There was a bond. We were family now.

This has probably been the best birthday present we have ever received. Thank you God!

Each birthday take inventory of a year’s worth of blessings and celebrate God’s handiwork revealed in the gifts of heart, head, and hands.

Angel’s story is just more proof of how the Church ignores its calling to the mission field right here in its own backyard. Instead of helping the pregnancy ministry that is embedded right in front of the gates of Hell where babies are being murdered every day, the Church will just throw money at a local pregnancy center across town to get out of their responsibility, if that, when most rescuers know, just like the abortion industry realizes, pregnant girls are not walking inside a pregnancy center to kill their babies, but every client we witness (40-50 on average daily) walking inside this abortion mill in Granite City is there to kill their baby.

There are a few imported churches though that actually will show up for the battle as witnessed this past weekend in Granite City .

People get angry when pro-lifers show the truth about abortion because they don't want to be bothered or convicted. Granite City, just like most of our nation, is in denial about what abortion is and its toll. There is a secret covenant with the churches in Granite City and this Hope(less) abortion mill, “ You don’t bother me, and I won’t bother you.”

Angel’s touching testimony should be a witness that you can make a difference in the world today, one heart at a time.

Be encouraged~ Angela

You Can’t Be Catholic & Pro-Abortion

An “Obamanation” to Almighty God

September 1, 2008

Written by Angela Michael

Romans 2:6 “God will give to each person according to what he has done. To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.”

Small Victories ministry prayed for favor this day as we headed out to deliver God’s mail to the celebrants of Labor Day in Granite City , IL . This holiday signifies the end of summer and we honor and remember the backbone of the working force. We had no idea what the Lord had in store for us, but He did and sufficed all our needs.

As Hurricane Gustav was coming ashore in Louisiana , we were experiencing our own tornadic activity at this parade. It’s always fun going into the enemy’s camp. But this day was much more like a hornet’s nest, only we the remnant were doing the stinging in love.

Once again we were strategically placed in the VIP section and were joined by some new proclaimers. There were no local Granitonians in our midst. But that’s how it goes. We staggered our signs as the parade rolled. The Grand Marshal came by. He smiled and waved as we greeted him. Minutes before the parade started we were informed a staunch pro-abortion U.S. senator would be in the parade. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin was confronted by gentle Christians at the City of Slaughter ’s annual Labor Day Parade. Senator Durbin was quite upset when confronted with the truth of abortion and what he stands for. Recently, House Speaker and rabidly pro-abortion Nancy Pelosi tried to twist the Catholic teachings and proclaim to the nation it’s okay to be Catholic and kill babies. Heresy!

He looked right at the sign Savanah was holding depicting a gloved hand holding the dead body of a baby that was killed by a partial-birth abortion, which this senator gave his seal of approval for. His demeanor changed. His face dropped. Angela called over, “You are an abomination to the Catholic Church, Mr. Durbin.”

He stood back and pointed his finger at Angela, “Don’t judge me!” Angela questioned, “Didn’t you judge these babies when you endorsed and voted for partial-birth abortion? You hypocrite! You can’t be Catholic and pro-choice.”

We told him, “ You help kill babies and God calls all of us to make a righteous judgment. Repent and turn from your evil deeds!” He continued marching in the parade, just a little hotter.

This is what Mr. Durbin says on his website: “ Throughout my 20 years as an elected official, I have strived to be a leader in the fight to protect women's rights. In addition to preserving women's reproductive rights, I have fought cuts in family planning funding and supported the coverage of contraceptives in health insurance programs.”

In Granite City, IL at the Hope Clinic they kill 10,000-13,000 babies a year with many of them late-term and many women coming from states all over the country, as there is no parental consent. We have been proclaiming outside this clinic for 15 years and God has blessed us with over 2800 babies saved and 26 having been put up for adoption! Our own baby Hannah, the youngest of 12, was saved from a late-term abortion this past fall.

Many politicians and laborers were carrying their Obama ’08 signs, so we countered with our sign: “What if his momma had aborted Obama?” Many steel workers shook their heads. Many cars layed on their horns as they passed us.

God blessed us with the police protecting and respecting us, and even people walking in the parade said, “We’re glad you’re here!!” and, “That abortion clinic is disgusting!!”

God has rewarded our faithfulness on the sidewalk as the number of abortions being performed is continuing to decline, with many employees either being fired or getting work elsewhere! They have been confirming what we have been trying to expose happening inside this abortion clinic. The sign Hunter held read: Hope Clinic kills babies and butchers women. That is not healthcare.

The parade was full of labor unions, their locals, steelworkers, the Granite City high school marching band, boy scouts, and a few politicians. Some actually came over and told us they were glad we were here. Mostly were Democrats and Obamanites. One man marching with an Obama sign began screaming after seeing the sign Ken held: “Obama + Biden = more dead babies.”

“All you care about are the babies!” he yelled and then started coming towards us. We thought, “You should be thanking your momma.” The police officer quickly stopped him and told him, “Stop screaming at these people. They are being quiet.” He threatened to arrest him and told him to keep moving. The man apologized to the officer and marched off.

The only church representation was the United Methodist Church . The Knights of Columbus float was practically empty with seven men and a few women.

As the mayor of Granite City walked by us tossing candy out he looked over at the sign Angela held which read: “Million dollar makeovers can’t save Granite City while the blood of over 400,000 babies flows through your streets.”

The mayor recently made the papers for his efforts to renovate the dilapidated downtown area with a million dollar makeover when only two blocks to the south a baby slaughterhouse exists. He continues his campaign to rid his city of the “undesirables” to improve the town’s postapocalyptic and meth capital image.

A female passenger in the mayor’s truck yelled over at us. Another woman screamed, “Thanks for ruining our picnic.” With each negative comment we received we answered softly, “Truth is hate to those who hate the truth.”

The parade was held up for a few minutes due to a participant who fainted, most likely from the heat. It was sweltering with the humidity, but it wasn’t as hot as the tempers of the stiff-necked, pro-death liberals who were repulsed at our presence in this annual parade.

When the Granite City high school marching band attempted to block our signs with their truck,. the police officer told them to keep moving. The driver mouthed off to the officer and he replied, “I’m telling you to move.”

At the end of the parade we gathered together and prayed thanking God for helping us to deliver His mail. We extended our thanks to the three officers walking by us and asked for God’s protection over them as they serve and protect in the streets.

We asked the Lord to remove the scales from this town’s eyes, “Let them know that we, the Lord’s remnant, love Granite City . We love them enough to tell them the truth.” We asked God to, “Touch their hearts and convict them. They can redeem their city and take back what the devil has stolen. Just as Queen Esther saved a nation from it’s destruction with God’s favor, we too want to see Granite City saved before it’s too late and once again become prosperous and over-flowing with blessings due to its steel mill image and not the late-term baby killing mill industry it is currently known for.”

Small Victories Exposes the Truth at the Obama-Biden Rally

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 09:47:26 GMT

August 23, 2008

“But your eyes and your heart are set on dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood and on oppression and extortion.” Jeremiah 22:17

Small Victories Ministry brought the truth of abortion to over 35,000 Democratic supporters in Springfield , Illinois today in sweltering heat and humidity.

Angela and Daniel Michael and some of their 12 children showed the Obamanites that you can’t serve two masters. Obama claims to be a Christian and Biden is a pro-choice Catholic.

The police harassed us and told us to get out, but we were able to greet Illinois Lt. Governor Pat Quinn and other dignitaries as they were making their entrance to the grandstand surrounding the Old State Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois where the most liberal, pro-abortion presidential candidate was about to present his running mate, Senator Joe Biden, another pro-abort

This is what the Democratic Party stands for. When you put a face on abortion it’s ugly.

One man attempted to block our signs with his body but was unsuccessful as we raised the truth high in the air for all to see. As the crowd stood in amazement reading our signs, we proclaimed, “A vote for Obama is a vote for more dead babies,” and we questioned, “What if his momma had aborted Obama?” The look on their faces said it all. They were shocked to see what the Obama-Biden ticket represents and stands for. Isaiah 3:9 “The look on their faces testifies against them.”

The police began closing in on us when the media took notice. “Get off my corner!” the officer yelled. Six more cops came over his back patting their handcuffs. We asked, “Do you own that corner and that one?” as we pointed to the intersection. “I own everything up to the Capitol. Now!” the cop yelled. He then threatened to arrest us. The crowd was swelling to see what the commotion was about. We held the signs out for all to view as we slowly walked across the street. If the truth of what abortion looks like is so horrible, than why are we allowing it?

The last time we were in Springfield , Obama was “whoring” out the Illinois State Capitol representing himself as an “Abraham Lincoln” to announce his presidential bid for office in bitter 10 degree weather February 10, 2007, A House Divided . Mr. Obama could care less about the enslavement of millions of unborn babies who are entombed in their mothers’ wombs. He has proven how much he cares about aborted babies born alive.

You’re no Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Obama. Lincoln was pro-life. He stood for righteousness and justice. He started a war. He ended slavery and freed our Black brothers and sisters.

Every day 1,452 Black Americans are murdered by abortion. These are American children that Barack Obama refuses to protect. Over 13 million since 1973 have been dismembered in the abortion holocaust, and as many women have been victimized and/or butchered by legal abortion. Mr. Obama supports the wholesale slaughter of his own community by abortion.

The truth about Obama is that he voted not to outlaw partial birth abortion, (1997 Illinois ban, 2003 Federal ban) and voted against protecting born alive infants (Induced Infant Liability Act and the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, 2002).

If the Obama-Biden ticket doesn’t care about the weakest and most vulnerable in society, what makes you think they care about those out of the womb?

Settlement draws near in Michael's case

Case involves teenager

By Michael Heil

Wednesday, August 20, 2008 9:36 AM CDT

A judgment in a civil case involving Granite City and the Michael family is drawing near, Angela Michael said Monday from her home in Highland .

Angela Michael said she was informed by family attorney Jason Craddock, of Chicago , that the judgment could be handed down by Labor Day.

Angela and Daniel Michael filed the suit in the U.S. District Court for Southern Illinois in East St. Louis in January 2006, six weeks after their daughter, Mia Michael, was knocked to the ground and into a light post by a woman who was in her 20s during the city's annual Christmas parade, Angela Michael said. At the time of the incident, Mia Michael was 17.

Angela Michael said her daughter wasn't seriously injured, but she was stunned and sustained a bump to the head.

"She (the woman who allegedly knocked Mia Michael to the ground) didn't like the abortion signs we were displaying," Angela Michael said.

In the suit, Angela and Mia and Daniel Michael vs. Granite City , the Michaels are seeking more than $100,000 in damages against the Granite City Police Department for lack of protection during the parade.

"Now they give us a little corner with two police officers," Angela Michael said. "If they would have done that before, nobody would have been hurt or assaulted."

Mayor Ed Hagnauer said he would not comment until the judgment, if any, is handed down.

The civil case is one of two cases that the Michaels took Granite City to court over.

When the city passed an ordinance in 2006 that prohibited abortion signs from being no larger than 8-by-11 inches, the Michaels challenged the ordinance in federal district court, where a ruling was handed down later in the year that the ordinance was unconstitutional because it violated First Amendment freedom of speech. The city never enforced that ordinance.

The Michaels, who are anti-abortion, challenged the ordinance because they often display large signs showing late-term abortions at the Hope Clinic for Women in Granite City and at city parades.

The Michaels are the founders of Little Victories, a home-based family ministry aimed at helping women find alternatives to abortions.

Since the Michaels first took their anti-abortion beliefs in 2000 to the sidewalks near the Hope Clinic, where abortions are performed, 26 babies have been saved and adopted, Angela Michael said.

One was Hannah Noelle Michael, who was adopted by the Michaels in 2008.

Angela Michael said that in October 2007 she persuaded a young woman from having an abortion at the Hope Clinic.

Angela and Daniel Michael didn't know at that time that the woman's child would become their 12th child.

"She's a blessing," Angela Michaels said. "Everyday I look at her face, knowing what would have happened to her if I wouldn't have been at the clinic that day. Our ministry prospers by telling young women that they have other alternatives other than an abortion. We don't try to persuade them by screaming and yelling at them like some religious zealots do at the clinic."

Angela Michael added that Small Victories will likely voice their anti-abortion stance by displaying large late-term abortion signs at the city's annual Labor Day parade.

"As long as they give us our little corner with two police officers, that's fine with me," she said.

Woman Found in Pool of Blood

Body count continues to rise and no end is in sight

Abortion- safe and legal? It may be legal, but it’s not safe

July 18, 2008

Written by Angela Michael

Zechariah 11:5 “Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, “Praise the Lord, I am rich! Their own shepherds do not spare them.”

Whatever happened to medical ethics? Gateway Regional Hospital located in Granite City, IL, conveniently across the street from the Midwest’s largest late-term wholesale slaughterhouse, patches these mothers up, puts them back on the highway, collects the money, and the back alley abortionist inside Hope Clinic continues his Jack the Ripper trade. Safe and legal?

Who is watching out for women who undergo abortions? Shouldn’t Big Brother? Why are we allowing the fox to guard the hen house? Why aren’t emergency room staffers and surgeons reporting these numerous incidents to the health department or Division of Professional Regulation? Crimes against women are going unreported. It’s the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” in women’s healthcare. How many more women need to be hurt, maimed, and sterilized or lying in comas or worse, killed?

We recently returned from the OSA National conference in Atlanta , Georgia . While away, we received a distress call from yet another woman who was given our contact information. She underwent a two day procedure at Hope Clinic for Women two weeks ago and has suffered numerous complications since. This past Tuesday, her co-workers found her on the bathroom floor, in a pool of blood “post-abortive hemorrhagic” . Her mother, who works with her, and co-workers summoned an ambulance and rushed her to a local hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery to save her life. She has since been released under a physician’s care on bed rest with intravenous solutions. She and her mother, who is her caregiver, now have not been able to return to work. I thought back alley abortions were over!

Years ago, society was force-fed graphic scenes such as this happening in dank hotel rooms or on the dirty floor of an abandoned building. They were a thing of the past with the inception and “cure-all” known as “medical abortion” . Women demanded the “back-alley” abortionist with the dirty hands wearing a trench coat were a thing of the past. It was a new era. By a vote of 7-2 black-robed chin droolers thought women deserved quality care by professionals in a safer and sanitized environment to kill their babies. Women could have their sex and be assured if an unwanted pregnancy resulted, they could legally and SAFELY get rid of it.

The feminists would like us to believe they would never return to rusty coat hangers. Well, with the numerous incidents just happening behind the purple doors of Hope Clinic in Granite City , a coat hanger would be safer at this point. No one is enforcing and regulating this chop-shop. The only people looking out for women’s welfare seem to be the little remnant of gentle Christians who have done so for over 15 years daily, offering women another option other than abortion and offering them to see a picture of their baby on the ultrasound screen inside their pregnancy van.

There are many walking wounded. Abortion leaves two victims: one dead and one wounded. That’s why we see so many post-abortive support groups popping up and so many sky-rocketing sales of prescription anti-depressants and mood elevating drugs. We’re medicating the problem instead of fixing it. The one and only solution is real love; not “luv” like the anti-life crowd would have you believe. But the true love of Jesus Christ. Only Jesus can cure the problems that ail society.

Why are the breast cancer rates in women soaring since abortion on demand was made legal back in 1973? Because there is a definite proven link between elective abortion and breast cancer. Why aren’t women being told this vital information?

When we make Jesus the center of our foundation you don’t need abortion. Women need love, not suction hoses and scalpels. As long as the abortionists and the abortion industry get by with hurting and butchering women, they will. And they will continue to make a lot of money off of them. If abortion is legal it should be safe. These back alley abortionists need to be held accountable and substandard practices and conditions inside these 2 million dollar state-of-the art slaughterhouses such as Hope Clinic need to be shutdown. As one former employee stated, “We want women to get the best care possible. The people running it now are not doing so.”

Hope Clinic’s dynasty is crumbling. Its bloody empire is quaking. We have watched the management either fire or dismiss over 18 employees in the past 15 months. Allison Hile, Toni Bautsch, and Julie Adams, with salaries totaling over $150,000.00, are no longer working there because of the financial strain put on the Hope Clinic by God and Small Victories ministry. One employee confirmed what we already suspected were the undercurrents and the strife going down inside this abortion mill. There was a constant struggle with power and money with the management. There were some pretty unscrupulous things going on that would make the hardest of criminals blush.

Numerous lawsuits of gross negligence, battery, and malpractice have been filed against this abortion mill in the past few months with more on the horizon. Another employee told us, “It’s the lawsuits that are killing them.”

Recently, when the local media would not print this fact, it took a small remnant to stand outside the largest Southern Illinois newspaper with our truth signs exposing this fact and asking why they were not printing the truth informing the public.

A surgeon in a hospital or a puppy mill that was mutilating or mistreating their patients or animals would make the front page of that very same paper and the evening news. But women? Well, I guess that says a lot about how society feels about their welfare. They don’t care. But gentle Christian activists do. And so does Jesus. He can take what the devil meant for harm and turn it around for good.

He can pick us up, clean us up, and put a new song in our heart if we only call on His name, the name of Jesus. Psalms 103:12 “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”

Bottom line: Abortion hurts women and society. As long as Big Brother continues to look the other way, women will continue to be isolated and exploited. Abortion hurts all of us. Women deserve better and we as a sovereign nation can do better.

Children are a gift from God, a heritage from the Lord. The fruit of the womb is His reward.” Psalms 127:3

Praise the Lord, Small Victories save Kahlil Jacoby 7 lbs. 15 oz was born June 22

We first met his mother outside this mill this past winter. She was here to kill, but after we gently talked with her she accepted our literature and went back home and we were able to hook her up with local help and a church family. Linda, she too is a nurse and faithful counselor, along with her husband, Dennis and various churches have been such a blessing in mentoring and providing encouragement, let alone assistance with housing bills and transportation for this mom. Satan was hard after this little one. He wouldn’t give up. His greatest tools are hopelessness and discouragement. The devil loves innocent blood. It keeps his bloodline going, so he can continue roaming around here on earth to rob, to kill and to destroy.

The pregnant mother of four did not have enough money that day to kill and drove back to Southern Illinois . She already has three kids and is taking on-line college courses to get a better job. She had limited transportation, no prenatal care, no baby items, and was a bit overwhelmed. God is good and is always on time.

We spoke with Monique later that evening after she left the Hope(less) abortion mill in Granite City; she was feeling much better after our initial talk and hooking her up with a local mentor, she was very grateful. She told Linda she had fallen away from the church, but planned on attending with her children from now on. A few weeks later, she was told her baby possibly had a birth defect. Prayer warriors went into action and threw Molotov cocktails full of God’s promises for this mother and baby into Satan’s face. Bam! Another lie from the devil. Mom and baby-in-utero were checked out in St. Louis by a high risk specialist and the baby was NORMAL! Thank you Jesus! Let’s just say according to trusted reports the labor and delivery was much calmer J than the beginnings.

When you stand outside the gates of hell you will be in a satanic battle. We must remember that the devil is not going to just sit back and allow us to take new ground without putting up a fight. Any time we begin to make progress in building the kingdom of God, our enemy will come against us. I thank God that he gives us wisdom and the words; he has made us his mouthpiece for over fifteen years to rescue in love these babies from the very jaws of Satan. These are small victories on earth but huge victories in the heavenlies.

Serial Killer Captured in City of Slaughter

Thu, 08 Feb 2024 21:30:12 GMT

Murder capital of our nation makes national headlines with arrest of serial killer

July 2, 2008

Written by Angela Michael

Proverbs 28:17 “A man tormented by the guilt of murder will be a fugitive till death.”

Granite City , Illinois , known as the murder capital of our nation which houses the Hope abortion mill notoriously known for late-term abortions and no parental consent where we’ve witnessed the murder of over 400,000 little human beings, attracts the “undesirables” . What would make a serial killer come to Granite City? Because murder fits right in with this city. There is a murderous, oppressive spirit that hangs over this city. It attracts evil.

The Altar of Baal known as Hope abortion mill has its own serial killers who get by with legally murdering little people 5-6 days a week. The innocent blood that flows through the streets of this city isn’t new.

Hearing reports on television in the morning before his capture, God told me not to go to Granite City for midnight abortions. “Let Daniel go. The killer is in Granite City .” God knew this killer would be walking freely in Granite City . This bar where Sheley was caught is a few blocks away from this slaughterhouse. Sure enough, after murdering the couple in Festus, MO, he was spotted outside Busch Stadium. Within hours, he was in Granite City .

The mayor of Granite City said it himself. He is tired of Granite City attracting the “undesirables” . He has been conducting a massive renovation campaign trying to clean up his city and we have been warning him, like the prophet Jeremiah, that he has to rid this city of the murder machine located at 1602 21 ^st street : the Hope abortion mill . As long as innocent blood flows freely down this street, God cannot bless our nation, let alone this town. You reap what you sow. When you sow violence and murder in the womb, you will reap it in the streets. Granite City is a murder magnet. People know where to lay their money down if you want prostitution, drugs, and murder.

Nicholas Sheley has a violent criminal history and was described as a methamphetamine addict who recently told his ex-wife he had more killing to do. Well, he came to the right city.

Isaiah 1:21-23 “See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her- but now murderers! Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless.”

St. Louis Gay Pridefest 2008

June 29, 2008

Written by Angela Michael

Psalms 12:8 “The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.”

This two day event drew an approximate crowd of over 80,000 revelers under threatening skies. On Saturday, commitment ceremonies and a pet parade was the draw. Sunday marked the big parade full of gay churches, sponsors, gay bars, gay & transgender organizations, the ACLU, Militant gay youth group, Obama supporters, gay politicians and/or political supporters of gay rights, Planned Parenthood and NARAL representation to mention a few. This year’s set up was different. There were barricades along the parade route. And there were more female police officers.

As we descended upon Tower Grove Park , you could feel the oppression and the smell of alcohol filled the air. It was only 10:00 a.m. We had a few religious zealots dressed like Jesus screaming hell fire and damnation to passersby. One woman turned and screamed back, “Just one day out of the year, leave us alone,” and continued walking down the parade route. A young lesbian woman commented, “Oh no, I hear that all week. My daddy’s a pastor,” and walked across the street.

Before the parade, I had an opportunity to meet the new Lutheran pastor of the church situated across from this debacle. He wanted nothing to do with this event and was locking up the doors of his church after the service. That’s the problem with sin, the Church of Jesus Christ stayed home or locked its doors. Instead of confronting the problem, they hid.

A female pastor I recognized from years past attending this event greeted me and I felt this was an opportunity to witness to her. Rev. Betty told me nowhere in the Bible does it speak about homosexuality.

I pointed out Leviticus. She again said the word “homosexual” was not ever mentioned in the Bible. Another lie. So, how one interprets the Word is how one follows it. She then began praising her church and their openness and the great praise and worship team they have going. She even invited me to visit. She may want to rethink the offer. But I accepted her card and told her we would be in touch.

“Kathy”, a lesbian deathscort, walked by and I greeted her. She refused to acknowledge us and kept walking.

As the parade got underway, the crowds swelled and pushed us up at the turn of the parade route into the park where the entertainment main stage, booths, and food vendors were located. The barricades made it impossible to walk out and personally rebuke the honorable Mayor Francis Slay who was a no-show last year, but with the added protection, he led this abomination this year. The police chief handed out plastic badges to the crowds.

It was so sad to see so many toddlers and children viewing nearly naked men and women swinging on floats in their scantly underwear. But then again, that’s what you’ll see at any local shopping mall nowadays: the lack of modesty. What a confusing message this exhibition sent these children.

There was a noticeably increase of Black Americans in attendance, not only in the crowds, but in the parade. If only they realized the immorality that is wiping out their race. There was a feeling of sadness as we watched the same drag queens, only more wrinkled and after the skies opened with a downpour, their makeup was running off their drawn faces. The gay rodeo group drew applause as the gay men roped one another and marched in the rain. Mr. Leather was a little overweight this year.

We recognized many of the employees from Hope abortion mill and Planned Parenthood. Most of our deathscorts are lesbians or homosexuals. Both serve the same master: the devil. Both detest children. But, they love pets. There were a lot of animals accompanying their owners. Why do homosexuals love abortion? Both are sin and both hate God.

Inside the park at the Planned Parenthood booth it was standing room only; people couldn’t sign up fast enough to keep killing babies. Homosexuals don’t get pregnant. Why the feeding frenzy? Because it’s another form of rebellion against God’s Word.

The same liberal churches, Central Reform Congregation, Metropolitan Community Church , St. John’s Episcopal Church, United Methodist Church , and Unitarian Church , were handing out their free luv literature, but notably there was no Catholic representation in the parade or booths in the park. Praise God! We are going to miss Archbishop Burke. He did put his foot down on that heresy and was an outspoken pro-life stalwart. Let’s hope the new St. Louis Catholic leader follows suit.

There was deep sorrow and a heaviness as we walked through the park. I remembered a saying of Reverend Billy Graham, “If God doesn’t judge America , He is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah .” Could that be why we are experiencing the floods and natural disasters across our nation lately? Are we listening?

As we exited the park, we prayed that the scales be taken off their eyes so they may see their sin and their hearts be touched. We are all sinners, but we don’t have to die in our sin. We are to hate the sin, but love the sinner and love them enough to tell them the truth. The rest is up to the Holy Spirit. We had a few tracts left by Stephen Bennett, a former homosexual, and handed them out as we departed. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17.

BUSTED! Hope Employees Arrested in Abortion Mill

Proverbs 29:16 “When the wicked thrive, so does sin, but the righteous will see their downfall.”

The buxom blonde was wearing handcuffs behind her back and Sgt. Schultz tried to block our cameras from capturing her arrest and placed Natalie and another butcherette inside his squad car. Earlier in the morning, we noticed Natalie was taking more cigarette breaks than usual; something was up. An abandoned dump truck was blocking the alley so the Budweiser semi couldn’t make his delivery to Ken’s Lounge at the end of the alley. We thought that was why the police were there in the alley.

When the side door to this slaughterhouse cracked open slightly we knew they were trying to conceal something and I called for Mia. It was a standoff for a few minutes. Suddenly, Natalie and Jessica were being led to the squad car. Only Nat’s hands were in handcuffs, but Sgt. Schultz who serves and protects this bloody business tried blocking our shot. The police then sped off towards the Granite City “Hanoi Hilton”. We staked it out, but no activity.

Later, we found out Natalie , 25 years old of St. Louis, and Jessica, 24 years old from Granite City, were being investigated for allegedly obtaining drugs and prescriptions without a license, authorization, or permission. This abortion mill would like their clients to think only professionals work inside, but in our history of 15 years just outside this mill daily we know the truth and the caliber of most employees in this bloody business. They are criminals. The temptation of drugs and money and lascivious behavior runs rampant in most mills. That is why the employee turnover is so high. Most workers don’t last two months due to the stress and can’t stomach participating in daily operations. Or you fall so in love with the money, you become hardened. Eventually they get caught stealing drugs, money, or both inside the abortion mill and get fired.

A lot of the workers get involved with drugs and drinking to numb themselves from the reality of dismembering babies. It’s like a coping mechanism. Abortion mills are a haven for criminals and criminal activity. Everyone knows unless you live in a cave in Afghanistan , abortion mills are the most unregulated, self policing, and lucrative industry in America . Just recently two more lawsuits were filed against this abortion mill within a 6 week period. It’s the “red light district”, minus the red light.

Natalie’s car remained on the parking lot over the weekend which told us she was arrested and couldn’t post bond. The local newspaper editor promised that if an arrest was made he would print it. True to his word an article was printed. It appears Natalie and Jessica, both employees at Hope abortion mill, were stealing another co-worker’s pain killers. They picked up her prescription at the local Walgreens drugstore down from this abortion mill without this co-worker’s permission or knowledge. Detective Jeff O’Connor was quoted, “This is a reminder that drug dealers on the corners are not the only ones responsible for drug crimes.” This is a Class A felony and both women can receive 4 years in prison. Bail was set at $50,000 for each.

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Breast Cancer/Abortion Cover- Up

Thu, 08 Feb 2024 05:50:29 GMT

Written by Angela Michael

June 23, 2008

“For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.” Luke 8:17

The 10th annual Race for the Cure was getting underway in the Gateway City that was decked out in a sea of pink. Over 63,937 were in attendance. Over 3.3 million dollars was raised, but the truth was not welcomed at this event. We registered and began making our way to the start of the race. As we did, you couldn’t help but notice the camaraderie and passion on many of the faces of those who have survived this devastating disease and those supporters. Mothers, daughters, grandmothers, and mothers-to-be marched and pushed wheelchairs with women who were valiantly battling this cancer. It was very humbling to see such bravery in the face of death. This was all the more reason we were asking ourselves, Is the Susan G. Komen foundation racing for a cure? Or racing against it? Why aren’t women being told?

Years ago before the inception of abortion on demand, you never heard of breast cancer or saw it in the epidemic numbers we do now. Is there a link? Women cry and women die. Why does this organization refuse to educate women on ALL their risks with breast cancer? And why aren’t women being told of one of the most preventable causes of breast cancer? That is abortion. Not a miscarriage, but elective abortion.

We worked the crowds in the beautiful, sunny weather God blessed us with. As we made our way through the thick of it we were handing out the brochure “Abortion Raises Breast Cancer Risk” supplied by the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, an international women’s organization that has helped with the research and getting the word out www.abortionbreastcancer.com . It gave out the statistics with good insightful information based on at least eight medical groups that agree breast cancer has a proven link to abortion. Why wouldn’t you want women to know this vital information? Because the incidents of breast cancer might just go down by preventing a proven cause. We can’t leave out the money pit. The Susan G. Komen foundation has raised a lot of money and a lot of that money is going and funding the very same risk factor: ABORTION. They give money to Planned Parenthood. If the truth were known they may lose some of that funding, and making money is what it’s all about.

The race had started after we gave out the last brochures with no problems. We gathered and prayed before we stepped out in faith and I might add “holy boldness”. It was the first time we entered the actual race with our banner which tells the truth. BAM! We were in and as the Lord would have it, we prayed the cameras and the media would pick up on this fact as we marched with the runners. We smiled and waved to the crowds who were at one point applauding until they read the banner. But God is good! The photographers clicked their cameras; some gave us a card stating it would be up on their websites and we waved at the Channel 5 camera above us in a cherry-picker who aimed his lens our way.

Soon we reached the finish line. Praise God, we did it! We hadn’t been tossed out yet. We then proceeded to march down the boulevard still holding onto the banner as participants stared. Only two had negative comments such as, “Keep your politics out of this event,” and another, “Thanks for ruining our day.” We asked, “Don’t you care about women? Don’t you want them to know all their risks with breast cancer?” The irate woman walked away.

As we approached the exit of this gathering, we were confronted by a policeman and fireman. Oh boy, here it comes, we commented. The fireman asked me, “What’s this all about?” I began explaining to him our purpose here and the message on the banner when out of the blue a young blond haired woman stuck her head in our conversation and screamed at me, “I’m an oncologist, that’s a lie!” and ran off. She should of stuck around for the truth.

“I’m not here selling you a bag of goods. Please do the research yourself. We’re here to let women know there is a link between breast cancer and elective abortion. Why aren’t women being told? Learn for yourself. Go the website and educate yourselves and tell others. You know years ago, the slave owners said Negroes were property and slavery didn’t exist. It took abolitionists and a war to expose the truth.” The police officer moved in closer. The fireman agreed with us.

“You know why that woman got angry? Because the American Medical Association reneged on the truth years ago when this link was proven, the AMA stood with us and agreed there was a proven link between breast cancer and elective abortion, but when word reached the Komen foundation, pressure was put on this medical group to back off. ‘We don’t want the little people to know.’ They don’t want to lose their funders. Just like most cash cows, they have fallen in love with the cash flow and lost sight of the priorities that first made them fall in love with the crusade.” That’s really unfortunate. Because they are playing with the health of women and women should be told of all possible causes of a life-threatening disease.

We thanked the men and folded up our banner as Daniel had tried reaching us twice on the phone. I picked up. “We need you to do an ultrasound. We have a possible save.” “We’ll be right there. Buy me some time.” We drove a little over the speed limit, but made it back to the abortion mill in the City of Slaughter . It was encouraging to see all the churches and pastors who support our ministry standing in the gap. As a matter of fact, they were making a statement to this town as they lined themselves up on the main thoroughfare to wake the churches and inhabitants up to the dragon in their backyard. Alleluia!

We got to the van and we introduced ourselves to this couple who drove over three hours to this abortion mill. It was hot inside the van, but Lord willing, we got through it. The 21-year-old generator would not kick in. “Get behind me Satan!” I commanded as we used alternate measures to show this couple their 4 week old baby . We rolled the windows down to get a breeze and they watched the ultrasound screen and explained their plight. Praise God, a brother in Christ from Community of Faith was able to pray and witness to this couple until we could get back over the river. After going over resources and follow-up instructions, they hugged us and expressed their gratitude for being shown the love of Jesus Christ by simple, gentle Christians outside this mill. The brother also helped us get some gas money together for them so they could make it back and stay in contact with Community of Faith as they were wanting discipleship. Praise God!

Isn’t it awesome what God can do if we just make ourselves available and listen? Thank you Lord for completing the task you set before us this day. You are magnificent. Thank You for the hearts touched this day and the lives saved.

Thankful for my Daddy

Happy Father's Day!

Written by Angela Michael

June 2008

I once read that anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy. How true those words ring. Particularly during this time of year when the thoughts of many revolve around picking out the perfect cards to honor the men who most influenced them throughout their lives: their daddy's.

Being a daddy is an up-at-dawn, seven-day-a-week, tiresome, yet exhilarating lifetime commitment producing more joy, satisfaction, and rewards than anything that can be accomplished during our life.

Somehow, true daddy's are able to navigate the wide and seemingly endless chasm of fear and uncertainty to lead our future generations down the rocky paths of life. A difficult task, these men have the emotional fortitude to pass on their virtues, morals, strengths, and wisdom to their children who, although may not always express it, couldn’t fare near as well without that loving guidance.

Daddy's not only share in the miraculous moment of conception, but are active participants throughout the gestation period and birth of the tiny miracle they helped create. The first moment a daddy gazes into the eyes of his newborn baby, he makes a secret oath deep within his soul, pledging that, no matter how steep the grade, how deep the valleys, how insurmountable the odds, he’ll continue to play a major role in the life of his child.

Daughters learn how to relate to men, and how men relate to women from their daddy's. Sons learn how to be men and how to treat women from their daddy's. Then there are the daily, wonderful gifts daddy's give their children that are the stuff that memories are made of: standing on your daddy’s feet as he whirled you around the living room in time with some outdated slow song, setting the example of reverence, Dad was the tallest in the church pew on Sundays, with you sitting anxiously next to him, learning how to catch a football while your daddy took time off on a Tuesday afternoon to throw a ball with you in the backyard, the voice of your daddy cheering louder than anyone else in the bleachers your first time at the plate in little league, the safe feeling you always got when your daddy would tell you stories to soothe you during thunderstorms in the middle of the night, and the bittersweet look in your daddy’s eye as he walked you down that long aisle which led you into the arms of the man with whom you would spend the rest of your life.

In honor of all the daddy's who’ve given so much of themselves to their children without expectation or motive, have a wonderful Father’s Day, and know that your love and care never go unnoticed. “A successful man isn’t always a good father, but a good father is always a successful man.”

Back Alley Abortions Cover-up

Small Victories exposes lawsuits and sub-standard medical practice and treatment of pregnant women inside Hope abortion Clinic

June 6, 2008

Written by Angela Michael

Matthew 10:26 “So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.”

The Michael family remnant stood outside the largest metro-east newspaper, the Belleville News-Democrat, to expose the continual cover-up of women being butchered inside the notorious late-term Hope abortion mill and nothing is being reported, even though two more lawsuits have been filed within the past six weeks against Hope Clinic chop shop and personnel.

Nowadays, you won’t see pictures of women lying on a kitchen table mutilated in a pool of blood; today they are lying in an emergency room hours, days, or weeks later full of fetal parts or infection, hemorrhaging, or all of the above. We notified and even spoke with the editor of this McClatchy paper and we were guaranteed that if a lawsuit was filed against this abortion clinic, they would write the article.

A Belleville News-Democrat reporter came out and asked us why we were there. Daniel replied, “Because the paper would not print the unsafe conditions at Hope Clinic. We care about women! Why aren’t you reporting the truth?” Daniel handed her several copies of recently filed lawsuits of butchered women. This was a heavy traffic area as many cars were giving us thumbs-up and honks of support after reading our signs.

Daniel told reporter Brian Brueggemann, “If women are being butchered and you won’t report it, then we will let the public know about the unsafe conditions and the lack of news coverage by this paper! We will be out here once a week until you report the truth.”

We have witnessed many ambulances pulling up to this mill or women being rushed across the street inside the hospital to patch these botched abortions up and get them back on the roadway where they are no longer the abortion mill’s problem.

If this were a puppy mill or horse farm and animals were being harmed or butchered, it would be on the front page of the newspaper. Aren’t women important? And when they trust in supposed professionals who inflict gross negligence and medical malpractice, shouldn’t the public be made aware?

Back alley abortions, as the name suggests, happened in locations (such as in a back alley or other non-medical facility) before the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. These procedures were often performed by people who weren't medical professionals and were illegal--as were all abortions--and had a higher chance of death for the woman undergoing the abortion than is true now, simply because now it is legal for abortions to be performed in sanitary environments by medical professionals.

Except, according to one recent lawsuit against Hope Clinic filed by a plaintiff who survived her botched abortion, it was questionable personnel who did her late-term abortion; it was not the physician who signed off. She suffered medical complications and was taken to a hospital for surgery to stop the bleeding. Hope personnel agreed to perform the risky abortion knowing of a serious pre-existing medical condition and although one abortionist previously refused to terminate.

When this hemorrhaging woman phoned Hope Clinic scared and bleeding, they requested her to produce twenty more dollars that she did not have. So much for compassion.

Hope Clinic has been cited for unsanitary conditions and had to hire a power cleaning crew in the evening to fumigate and scrub the torture rooms down. Read: Taken to the Cleaners

Legalizing abortion simply gave the back-alley physician/butcher permission to put his shingle on the front door. Abortion remains very much the same today as it was in 1960, particularly regarding the first-trimester abortion techniques. The risk now comes from the huge increase in the sheer numbers of abortions done on a daily basis.

In Granite City it is an assembly line inside this butcher shop when you watch 40-50 women on average walking inside and only hours later coming back out with their little brown bags. The abortionist wants to spend only seven minutes on a first trimester and twenty minutes on a second/ third trimester. “Once they are patched up and on the highway, they are no longer my problem”

In the second lawsuit, this young 17-year-old was under the impression that professionals were doing her late-term abortion. They rushed her through and attempted to dismember her unborn baby and left fetal body parts inside her uterus which led to fever, bleeding, and her female organs were full of infection from the decomposing baby. In order for the hospital and emergency room doctors to save her life they had to remove all of her female organs. She is now sterile.

Legal and safe? That’s a lie. Women don’t choose to be butchered and left sterile when seeking a legal abortion. This supposed safety net legalizing abortion was to ensure women would not return to unsanitary and unsafe mutilations. It was an emotionally charged issue. It played on the public’s sympathy and was a big reason why the Supreme Court fell for the lie. Coat hanger stigma has not been removed from society. The back alley abortionist now comes through the front doors and charges more money.

Why is the media standing at bay and not making the public aware of the substandard medical treatment and practices that go on inside these unregulated abortion mills such as Hope(less)? Over the past 15 years we have consistently reported these lawsuits and deaths or abortive women lying in comas. If abortion is legal, should it not be safe? And where is the outcry from abortion rights advocates such as NOW, NARAL, Emily’s List, and Refuse & Resist? I thought they were all about women’s rights and accessibility to safe birth control/abortion on demand. The tattoo parlors are better regulated.

If a surgeon in the hospital across the street was botching his surgeries shouldn’t he be removed from the operating room? Shouldn’t the public know? Then why are we allowing the back alley abortionists to get a free pass to harm one after another abortion-bound women?

In combating the true back alley abortions bottom line: Abortion is not good medical care; it’s murder. It hurts women and goes against the feminist creed. Women deserve better and society has an obligation to speak out and protect women against willful injury or death and to hold those who would negligently or maliciously inflict…accountable.

Jeremiah 16:17 “My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from Me, nor is their sin concealed from My eyes.”

God calls us to be His messengers and deliver His mail.

Granite City's Slaughterhouse Sued Again!

17-year-old girl butchered and left sterile

2nd lawsuit filed within 6 weeks

May 2008

When are the Illinois Board of Health and legislators going to wake up and public outrage going to hold the butchers inside Hope abortion Clinic accountable? Back-alley abortions were supposed to be “a thing of the past” with 2 million-dollar, state-of-the-art abortion mills such as Hope(less)…it appears a coat hanger or a Hoover would be safer than the cutthroats inside Hope chop-shop. Every pregnant woman walking inside these purple doors is taking a chance she may be leaving in a meat wagon or days, weeks later be lying in an emergency room full of infection and fighting for her life, such as this little girl. She will never be able to bear her own children.

John 3:20 “Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.”

Hope Clinic and doctor sued for abortion that led to sterility

5/29/2008 2:19 PM

By Steve Gonzalez

www.madisonrecord.com

A woman who had an abortion at the Hope Clinic in Granite City filed a medical malpractice complaint in Madison County Circuit Court May 20, alleging the procedure to end her pregnancy caused her to become sterile.

Represented by Christian Montroy of the Rex Carr Law Firm in East St. Louis , Antoinette Blanton claims co-defendant Allen Palmer, M.D. performed her abortion at the Hope Clinic on March 25, 2006.

According to the complaint, Blanton was 17 years old at the time of the abortion.

She claims Palmer and the Hope Clinic were negligent for failing to remove the entire fetus which caused personal injuries and an infection that made her sterile.

She is seeking damages in excess of $50,000, plus costs of the suit.

The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge Andy Matoesian.

Isaiah 1:21 “See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her- but now murderers!”

Today’s headline read, “Granite City is growing away from its steel image.” http://www.bnd.com/news/local/story/344420.html . This is true. Over the past thirty years, and specifically the last decade, this gritty town once known for its steel industry is now known for its baby killing industry, also known as Hope Clinic for Women, specializing in late-term baby killing and no parental notification is necessary. That means a child, as long as she has a ride and the cash, can come from all surrounding states and murder her baby into the third trimester.

“The city known for its steel production has been lately noticed for its other productions.” What the mayor fails to mention is the dirty little industry just two blocks down from the newly developed streetscape surrounding Mayor Hagnauer’s office in City Hall. The draw from all surrounding states is the human slaughterhouse located at 1602 21 ^st that has given this town its dubious title: the City of Slaughter

Ezekiel 22: The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, will you judge her? Will you judge this city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all detestable practices and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O city that brings on herself doom by shedding blood in her midst and defiles herself by making idols, you have become guilty because of the blood you have shed and have become defiled by the idols you have made...

“‘Therefore I will make you an object of scorn to the nations and a laughingstock to all the countries. Those who are near and those who are far away will mock you, O infamous city, full of turmoil.

“’See how each of the princes of Israel who are in you uses his power to shed blood. In you they have treated father and mother with contempt; in you they have oppressed the alien and mistreated the fatherless and the widow. You have despised my holy things and desecrated my Sabbaths. In you are slanderous men bent on shedding blood…In you men accept bribes to shed blood…

“’There is a conspiracy of her princes within her like a roaring lion tearing its prey; they devour people, take treasures and precious things and make many widows within her. Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things…they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean;…Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people to make unjust gain. Her prophets whitewash these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations …

“I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.”

Is anyone drawing the distinction between these scriptures and what is happening where innocent blood is currently being shed? Yes, mayor, we need only look in the mirror to see who shares in the bloodguilt of approximately 400,000 in your fair city. I’m not quite sure the mayor realizes what bloodguilt is, but if you can imagine the carcasses of 366,104 scattered throughout the newly developed areas and streets along with the blood washing up to the city hall and churches’ doors, that would have to get your attention.

You can build all the brightly colored facades over this doomed town, but the innocent blood will eventually seep through, just like the saying, “You can pour perfume on a pig, but it still smells like a pig.” However, I applaud the city forefathers for trying to rid their city of crime and build a better image, but the greatest crime against humanity is abortion- the taking of innocent life.

How can God continue to bless this city where detestable practices go on and the leaders and the pastors refuse to confront it? Would we allow a puppy mill to operate this way? A while back, a council member contacted us proclaiming they were pro-life and wanting to know what could be done to rid the city of the bloody empire that quietly dominates this town. II Chronicles 7:14 “If my people…”

God is giving us all the equipment we need. We must put feet to our prayers. We must show up where atrocities and injustice are going on. By the town’s silence babies continue to be slaughtered. And it is by our silence and lack of public outcry that free running abortion mills feed into the immorality that is running rampant in our nation. Oppression only benefits the oppressor.

If your neighbor’s house was on fire and you could hear the children screaming to be rescued, would we stand there and offer to pray for them? No, we would do everything to break down the burning doors to rescue those that were perishing. The alarms have been sounded. It is time, mayor, to scourge your city of this abomination and blight that takes comfort in your backyard. You can make a difference.

Isaiah 1:26 “Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness , the Faithful City .”
