Save the Storks

Check out Save the Storks!


Save the Storks- Join the Movement


 I prefer this coffee for a lot of reasons:

Stork Coffee

1.) The proceeds go to building Stork Vans which support crisis pregnancy centers nationwide but are mobile to go anywhere! 

2).  They spread the Gospel

3.)  They help parents see their babies on ultrasounds and get them connected to local help. 

4.)  Babies lives are saved. 

5.)  The coffee is high-quality and delicious. 

6.)  The money made from Stork Coffee does not go to Planned Parenthood or anything that breaks God's heart!!!!!!

But Will They Shut It Down?

To be sure, if this were my sister, niece, friend, neighbor, I would be telling everyone about what happened.  

Squalor at North Carolina abortion facility

If you have already read this account, take a minute to think about this.  What if her mother had not taken her to the hospital?  What if she had tried to seek help from a neighbor and had fainted in her front yard?  You or I are traveling down the road and we see her pale and unconscious. We do not know her story.   We are not related to her or her family nor do we know her.  Do we stop?  Do we call help for her?  Is she our neighbor? 

She is going to have a very difficult road ahead of her now and I hope you will join me in praying for her as well as her family.  

I also hope that you will join me in praying for this abortionist and the staff at this abortion facility.  I pray that they accept Jesus and leave this wicked industry.  I pray that the state does the right thing and shut the doors permanently.  Even if the state does not do the right thing by shutting this house of horrors down, I pray that this does not happen to another woman because the word has spread all over the country that this is an extremely dangerous place for women (and especially for their babies!).

So even though this woman is not my sister, niece, friend or neighbor, I am still going to make sure everyone knows what happened!!!!!

Will You Protect The Least Of These?

I KEEP trying to post!!!!!!!  Emitting heavy sigh.....


This post below was from last Saturday.  I had major computer issues.  My computer, as much as I love it, is a bit of a dinosaur.  I am NOT giving up on this blog, computer issues or other crazy events. 

This will be another short blog entry and I dare not say when I can post again.   Below are the article links about the abortionists who have all been charged with various criminal activities.  Will these charges stick?  Even if they do stick, will the abortionists be lightly reprimanded and given art therapy for 2 weeks only to be let go to maim and kill again?
 
 Here is the blog post from last Saturday:

Today we did our Race for Life.   I walked the 1 mile instead of running the 5K but maybe next year I will run it instead.  Our church youth group brought in the most funds for youth groups so it was fun to see our team so excited to be in "the winner's circle".  Of course, we all agree that the babies win and any time we get to share the Gospel with our clients that is a win as well.

I went home and pretty much just "crashed" on the couch for over an hour.  Fogginess ensued and while dinner helped, bedtime is still going to be welcomed in the next 45 minutes or so.

Last night, we went to go see the movie "Woodlawn".  There will be no movie review of it right now, but I do recommend it highly.  While typing this, there are all kinds of pop-ups and odd messages all over the screen and when I try to shut them down, everything goes nonresponsive.  This is going to be a short message tonight for that reason on top of needing sleep.

In my last post, I made reference to some articles about some abortionists free-lancing on the road.
There are three different cases: 

Michigan Abortionist Doing Housecalls?
This is the Michigan abortionist

 Pendergraft's Abortion Van
 Florida's abortionist traveling all over....

 Las Vegas Abortionist 
Creepers!  


There are many more news reports but I will close on a happy note.  Over 500 babies' lives were rescued at numerous abortion facilities over the past 40 days due to the great prayer and sidewalk counseling efforts.  Those are only the reports we know about because many times there is a ripple effect or many more people may have been affected without telling anyone of their last minute changed minds.

Thank you for your prayers!!!!  Don't give up hope!!!  We have victory in Jesus!

Popping In For A Spot O' Tea

OR a spot o' T....Truth...or maybe Transiency....or TIME management....hmmm!  ANYWAY!!!
Greetings!


I do not feel that this is so much a pro-life blog as it is an apology blog.  It seems that every time I go to post an entry, I am apologizing for my absence.

You all are understanding people though, right?  You understand computer trouble, internet trouble, illness, travels, exhaustion, troubles with perfectionism, constant interruptions and the whole host of issues that could keep someone from blogging.  You all are a warm and forgiving group of individuals! 



Yes, I knew it!  My readers are sweethearts!  So.....fresh slate?

 Sidenote:  After I completed this blog to post, an error message popped up preventing me to publish it.  See what I mean?  If there was a Charlie Brown of the Blog World, I am the Charlie Browniest!

Oh, where to start?  I had promised an in-depth expansion of William Wilberforce over a month ago to my church family.  I started it late at night and then promised myself that I would complete it the next morning and that is when my blogging trouble began with the added busyness to keep me from resolving the issues.

Now that I am not traveling anywhere anytime soon, it is my goal to follow through.

There have been more videos posted by The Center for Medical Progress and I still plan to post those although they have been out for a little while now.  Planned Parenthood hired a firm to investigate whether the videos were manipulated and the results have been announced.  The firm hired, (let me emphasize) by PLANNED PARENTHOOD, showed no manipulation or unscrupulous editing.

I tried watching the C-span coverage of the investigation into Planned Parenthood but could only afford a few moments.  I saw some powerful testimonies by a former abortionist, a former Planned Parenthood director from Iowa and a woman who was post-abortive.  It is evident that some of the congressmen and women were spiritually blind to the information but many others did receive and act on the testimonies. 

I still wonder if any of the church members from a former church (a church that supports abortion)  were all rah-rah-sis-boom-bah! about Planned Parenthood's involvement in baby organ trafficking or if they are still huge supporters of this dastardly entity.  Again, this is spiritual blindness coupled with a heart of stone.

I will keep this a short entry although my mind is racing with all the latest accounts of abortionists operating out of vans or personal homes or maybe what could be described as possible abortion "housecalls".  I will report on those in the next 24 hours.  I was told by a pro-abortion church lady...(notice I said CHURCH lady, which just indicates she is active at a church building....not that she really knows Christ or not), that abortion should be "safe" and that she didn't want back-alley situations to occur.  She was very misinformed and did not want her beliefs to be corrected.  The back-alley never left and there is silence from the pro-abortion faction when a woman is maimed or dead from abortion.

In closing, please pray for our Race/Walk for Life taking place this weekend.  It is exciting to be a part of celebrating and supporting the Sanctity of Life!  We don't just celebrate physical life but spiritual as well!  The Great Commission is what we are about so that men and women who come through our doors will be reached with the message of salvation for ETERNAL life! 

Romans 10:9   "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved".

Planned Parenthood-7th Video Released

Loved Ones,
I know I have been missing in action for awhile on this blog.  Like many times before, I have been out-of-town, have had technological difficulties with my computer and sometimes I have just not been able to dedicate efforts to this blog. 

Still, there are many things going on right now that have to be shared even if I do not add commentary.  The videos that I have been posting (and the complete collection of unedited videos are available here:  http://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/)  are needing to be spread far and wide. 

Many years ago, I came across a report about some extremely ghoulish experiments with aborted babies.  Many of the experiments described involved babies who had survived the abortion and yet, the experiments were done while they were alive.  These descriptions revealed the depths of man's depravity.  Nazi doctors did similar experiments on those who were believed to be "useless eaters".  Clearly, nothing had changed from the 1940's to the 1970's unless they had just become more adept at hiding than before.  The mentality had not changed, only the size of the victim.   

As we see today, the mentality still has not changed and really....why should we should expect it to change?  Until our nation humbles herself before God and repents, we are only going to see more of the same and worse.  I saw a Facebook meme one day that said that your local abortion mill is open by permission of the church.  Ouch.  It is true.  The church today is not much different than the churches that William Wilberforce dealt with when he fought against the slave trade back in the 18th century.


I am not going to share much more in the way of commentary.  Do not get me wrong.  I very much want to spend an hour or more on this subject.  This video is the almost at the height of the most disturbing.  The word "almost" is purposeful as I think there is more to come from these videos that could soar higher in depravity than even this. 

Don't take my brief comments here for lack of passion or lack of feeling.  It was very difficult to view these videos.  The revulsion and rage is deep.  I have cried out to God and I continue to pray. 

Some people ask, "What can we do?"   There are a lot of people who have tuned out after all these videos.  They resign themselves to thinking that there is nothing they can do personally so they just ignore the whole subject altogether. 

This Saturday, August 22, 2015 9 - 11 am is the day for a nationwide protest of Planned Parenthood in 119 different locations in 39 states.  Just look up National Day of Protest Against Planned Parenthood and your particular state to see if anything has been organized.  I am going to be an extra hand on deck at our local pregnancy resource center in case we get extra clients from the protest. 

If you have a local pregnancy resource center/crisis pregnancy center in our area, consider volunteering there to help with baby clothes or any other odd jobs needing to be done.  Most centers need donations of baby clothes, baby items, baby food, formula, diapers and maternity clothes.  Pray for the centers daily if you cannot be active in the ways listed.  Prayer is NEVER last resort and is, in my opinion, the most important fuel to keep the cpc's going.  :) 

If you do not have a center that helps pregnant women in your area, (pray for those centers still), share these videos.  For some that is a scary proposition as it invites debate from pro-abortion family, friends and others.  This is your time to learn about the subject and stand up for the voiceless.  There are so many resources online to get pro-life information.  Just admit to them that you do not have all the answers to their questions but you would be happy to find out the answers.   Be bold and tell them you are still figuring this out yourself but you just can't let another baby die. 

There are still millions of people who are not aware of these videos and these practices.  We may never shut down the millions of tax dollars shunted to Planned Parenthood. There may never be any legal action taken against Planned Parenthood.  There may never be any earthly consequences in the foreseeable future of Cecile Richards and her cronies.  God's COURT is perfect and His timing is perfect.  Their hours ARE numbered and they will definitely end.  God has promised it so with the return of His son Jesus Christ.  Until then, we can pray and we can share the Gospel to the lost and hurt.  We also can share these videos and by word-of-mouth, empty the parking lots of all Planned Parenthoods and other abortion facilities.  William Wilberforce trusted God implicitly in the battle against the slave trade.  We can trust God and act. 

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."  Joshua 1:9

I Know Nuzzzzzink!!

Greetings, Loved Ones!

First of all, pray for me for I am getting old.  I just had a birthday recently and I accidentally posted a title Happy Birthday and then neglected to even post a blog.  Ahhhhh....that is what THAT was about, I hear my regular readers exclaim!  It is still on my "bucket list" to complete.  Just kidding.  I have no such bucket list.  Instead, there is a procrastination list 50 feet long.  Just kidding again.  There is nothing written, as such.....but it IS floating around in my mind.  The reality is that my memory bank is pretty low right now.  It is not in the negative numbers but if ginkgo biloba really does improve memory, then I need to order an industrial-sized drum of it  What can I say? The tent is falling apart.  Pray for me.

That aside, my birthday was very nice and I am very cherished, loved and blessed. I th ank God for my life!

Now, on to addressing more serious matters.  As ever, the ambulances continue to show up at various Planned Parenthood facilities and other abortionists' offices nationwide.  The Forty Days for Life group have noted that there are more than usual ambulance visits recorded than in past prayer vigil campaigns.   It would not be too surprising to see this as fact if we could have a blog devoted only to all the ambulance calls on a 365 day basis.  Logistically, one would have to have a 100% pro-life presence at all of the abortion facilities for not just the open operating hours, but possibly beyond that.  Kermit Gosnell and his wife often performed the third trimester abortions on Sundays or whenever the regular office staff went home.  Abortionists get away with so much because the pro-lifers cannot be there 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 

Side note here:  The actor Nick Searcy is set to direct the movie about Kermit Gosnell.  More on that in a later post.

It was noted that Kermit's abortion facility was not inspected for 17 years and that hands-off policy was a result of Governor Tom Ridge's edict to leave all abortion facilities alone.  Ridge identifies himself as a Republican but I know quite a few people who identify themselves as Republican who are really pro-abortion with exceptions.  When Kermit was arrested, all the finger-pointing began as to which governmental group was to blame for his house of horrors.  To this day, it does not look like anyone was penalized or reprimanded in any way, and they escaped all accountability. 

And so it goes on today as it always has since January 22, 1973.  "I KNOW NUZZZZINK!!!", as  Colonel Klink would exclaim.   If any of my foreign visitors are not familiar with United States television shows,  visit YouTube for old episodes of Hogan's Heroes.

Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to  go to a leadership conference with the ladies of my church.  On the trip, I was asked about pro-life issues and we started talking about the horrific practices of abortion facilities.  One lady mentioned that she felt sheltered from all the information.  She admitted that she did not know about Planned Parenthood or about abortion deaths or so many issues attached to the sanctity of life.  She is not alone and I was once like her.  It was a charge for me to keep doing this.  I will post regardless of feedback but it is nice to be reminded that the information actually has an impact with some. 
 
THIS blog link here has had a profound influence on me and continues to be one even today. 
www.realchoice.blogspot.com
 
In the past 15 years that I have researched, I have had my eyes opened to learn that abortion facilities are often not inspected at all.  Even if they are, it is disturbing to realize that the authorities just turn heads away from ghastly abortion practices.  Lakisha Williams' death is one of numerous examples of the authorities not holding abortionists' accountable.  
Lakisha Williams

http://www.operationrescue.org/archives/despite-desperate-911-incident-peoria-abortion n-clinic-director-opposes-annual-inspections/

Here is another example from Operation Rescue:

"Planned Parenthood’s Medical Director is Timothy Scott Kress, who was convicted of six drug-related felonies in 1999 and was ordered to seek treatment for substance addiction and abuse involving codine, Soma, and Demerol. Kress admitted that he staged break-ins at a pharmacy where he was employed, and “diluted the pharmacy’s remaining stock of injectable Demerol, in an attempt to cover up his thefts.” His Ohio medical license was revoked in October, 1999, due to his criminal behavior, but was unfortunately reinstated on a conditional basis in 2000."

“The fact that Kress is in charge of all so-called ‘medical care’ at Planned Parenthood is certainly more cause for alarm,” said Newman. “This is another example of the abortion cartel hiring from the bottom of the barrel. Putting Kress in an abortion clinic where he has access to many of the same drugs to which he has been addicted makes about as much sense as hiring an alcoholic to pull the night shift a the liquor store.” http://www.operationrescue.org/…/911-cincinnati-planned-pa…/


Again, Kress, Gosnell, Pendergraft, Carhart, Sella and a slew of other dismemberment practitioners, are allowed to behave any way they please.  Mind you, the only reason Gosnell got any attention by the F.B.I. was that he was running an illegal prescription ring.  He was convicted for those charges as well as for killing the babies after they were breathing after the abortion.  He just happened to be caught.  Many babies survive the abortion but are then either set aside or suffocated in some way.  Baby Shanice Osbourne was one of those babies. 

Michigan abortionist Robert Alexander is another case just defies logic. 
 Robert Alexander

If you are tired of the different article links, just save the reading for later.  I highly encourage you to read them to get the full extent of the case, but suffice to say, it is the uttermost bottom-of-the-barrel treatment.  It cannot even be called medical care.  Please take time to read the links when you can. 

This article is the latest I could find on Alexander dated February of 2014.  Again, why is this abortionist even working at any medical building given his past?   With all the information we can obtain nowadays, why are employers not fully checking his background?   They probably can access more in-depth information than I can just doing a cursory search.  Yet, I would not hire this person to clean out the cages at an animal shelter.   He can not even make sure his abortion facility is clean, why would I expect him to be able to clean a dog cage?

I digress.


Yes, I hear you, Pro-lifers!  You are saying, "You have it ALL WRONG".   It seems that way but it is not so.  Hang on for a moment.  Why do we not legalize armed burglary, rape and pedophilia?  Would it not just make things safer for everyone to make sure that these practices were regulated properly?  Do we just need to inspect these issues to make sure that everything is being done to the letter?  Can you imagine all the euphemisms?  I think there are some started already since there are some people who are pushing for the pedophilia to be decriminalized.  I am not joking about that. 

Think about the JOBS CREATED as a result of needing so many inspectors and department heads.  "But these things are illegal!"   There was a time that killing a human being in the womb was illegal too.  I am really not making light of any of this as far as the euphemisms or the job creation of inspectors for armed burglary, rape or pedophilia. 

WHO would have thought in the typical American's mind (and I am not talking about the Moloch followers of Margaret Sanger's ilk) say, back in 1950, that we would have actual buildings dedicated to killing babies and promoting promiscuity?  Who would have thought that protecting a rapist would be commonplace in over 90% of Planned Parenthood facilities?  Who would have thought that a group of women would have dressed up like vaginas and would have passed out aborted fetus cookies?   I kid you not.   It is disgusting and unconscionable.  It is for the reprobate mind but we see abortion as an everyday occurrence now, and a very protected and lucrative business at that.  Will we see special buildings constructed for the business and practice of pedophilia in the future?  Again, it is disgusting and unconscionable to think of these things mainstreamed.

So you see, whether there are inspections or licenses for abortionists and their facilities, we are just going to continue down this road of zero unaccountability.  I pray to the Lord for more things to be revealed and for public awareness and pressure for these places to be shut down permanently.  Of course, there should just be a huge softening of the heart about the execution of babies (and not just babies...but the recognition of personhood for all).  There are some really awesome advocates who are tireless in their mission to expose these abortionists. 

Inspections/regulations and abortionists' licenses (and the lack of accountability thereof) are not going away.  Just opinion here but I think if we really did hold each abortionist truly and fully accountable for present and past actions, there would not be one facility open.  I do believe that the neighborhood abortuaries are open by license of silent and apathetic Christians and their church congregations.  God will not be mocked and while I recognize we live in a dark and fallen world, that does not mean we throw up our hands and give up on trying to shut down abortion facilities.  Will we shut them all facilities down and turn all hearts and minds for life?   Let us be obedient to God and trust HIM with the results like we do when we share the Great Commission.  Even if all abortion places were shut down by competent inspectors, we still need Personhood in place to prevent any new abortionists and facilities from operating again. 

One little extra bit here that I also want to address.  I picked on the Christians just now for looking the other way and ignoring their neighbors.  I pray it spurs someone to action even if it is just opening one's mouth as a start.  Now, I pick on the people who say they care about women's health  I am not talking about the militant abortion activist because they want abortion no matter what and nothing I say probably will sink into their skulls.   Some of these activists may make 6 figure incomes, but all of them have their hearts and consciences seared diamond-hard.  They are chained, enslaved and walking dead in their sins.

There is a group out there who call themselves "pro-choice" and they seem to be genuinely caring about other women.  These are the ones who honestly do not have any clue about what goes on in abortion facilities but they say they want abortion to be "safe".  They may have been fed the "coat hanger story" and like to share these anecdotes.  They are the ones who will tell you, "If abortion becomes illegal, then women will die in abortion clinics in the back-alley".  They do not know that "safe abortion" is akin to "safe lynching" or "safe rape" because they are of a mindset brought about by years of systematic lies fed to them (ha...like me 25 years ago).  If one were to be able to have an opportunity to sit down over a cup of coffee or tea with them and start asking questions about what abortion is and the reality of the industry, these people could be such powerful mouthpieces.

Do they really care about women's health and safety when it comes to unplanned pregnancies?  You will know right away if they  genuinely care for others or if it is just "lip service".  If they are open to hearing about the truth, open reading about abortion facility horrors and they are actually horrified, they are being intellectually honest and have a honest love for others.  If you ever are able to have one of these conversations, encourage her to take action.  I pray she will be convicted to action.  I say "she" mostly because it is usually women who claim to care about women's health and rights (not saying men do not care.  I just do not come across this as much with men advocating for decent women's care).  If women truly believe this then they cannot be quiet about the gruesome and degrading acts against women in abortion mills. Nor can they be quiet about the destruction of future women in the womb.   Could abortion facilities be brought down by this group alone?  How big is this faction? How big is the "Lip Service Feminist" faction?

Anyway, moving right along.....

Dr. Noreen Johnson, a former abortionist who became a Christian and a pro-life warrior, once encouraged, "God honors bold prayers because bold prayers honor God."  Let us not become Colonel Klinks.  We can blame shift and look at those inspectors who ignore abortion deaths with derision but what are we doing?




Proverbs 24:10-12  If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.  Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?  And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?

Central West End Planned Parenthood St. Louis-Abortion Emergency Requires Ambulance

Patient grimacing and wailing

This is not the first time an ambulance has transported a woman injured by abortion and we know it will not be the last.  Reports have shown that this is the 28th emergency that has taken place in about 6 years but we do not know the real numbers.  Pro-life prayer warriors/sidewalk counselors record when ambulances show up but they are not able to keep a 24 hour vigil 365 days a year.  Invariably, there are days of operation that are not covered and so we only know about the instances when the pro-lifers are in attendance.

Is it really 28 ambulance visits or is it far more?  We will never know because the facility will never disclose the truth.  Even if they did, would it make any real difference?  It seems that even the 28 emergencies do not warrant any local investigations or accountability for the way they operate.  How scary. 

I just looked up this facility on Abortion Docs  Please check this link for the past issues these abortionists have caused for women and share this far and wide.

How ironic that the place calls itself a "health center". Is not a health center supposed to make one healthy?  The humans who were slaughtered  in the womb would probably disagree with that description.  

"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather expose them."  Ephesians 5:11

The Drop Box



I only have a few minutes (once again) before I need to leave the house.  I wanted to address this a lot earlier than today but that did not happen.  Last night, my husband, son and I saw this film and I am encouraging everyone I know to go see it, if there is the time and opportunity to do so. 

It is to be shown tonight, one last time at the theaters and only at one showing.  It showed at 7 pm in my city and it looks like that is the time for other cities as well.  Maybe it will find its way onto DVD quickly. 

Let this blog entry be the little push in going to see it.  Check to see if your local theater is sold out first though as there have been reports of sold-out theaters across the nation.  If the opportunity is there, take your family, friends, neighbors, church family, coworkers with you or encourage them to go.  I would go again in a heartbeat if I could.  

James 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Pro-lifers, Do Drop In!

Welcome!  Tervetulua!  Bienvenidos! 

A couple of years ago, I set up this blog and added the handy-dandy map.  I call it the Welcome map!  It is always so pleasing to see who visits this blog and I wonder if the visitors are pro-life citizens from that country or maybe they are U.S. citizens living there.

Please feel free to introduce yourselves and share anything about your country (or state if you reside in the U.S.A) and the pro-life work or presence in those regions.   When we have our annual fundraiser banquet for the crisis pregnancy center,  first-time attenders are usually taken back to see so many pro-life people in one place.  It is encouraging to them to know that they are not alone in their views.  So if you come from a place where you feel like you are the only one with pro-life views, please share.  If you are a person who would like to encourage others by sharing the exciting things happening in your region, also please share. 

Hauska tutustua and mucho gusto!   Pleased to meet you! 

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?  For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.  1 Corinthians 10:16-17

The Apology

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.  Romans 8:1

Only 5 Minutes

That is all I have to spare right now....5 minutes.   It is my day to minister to girls and women who are facing the situation of an unplanned pregnancy.  I mention this for a few reasons.  First, please pray for all of us there at the pregnancy resource center.  Secondly,  let me encourage you to take the next step of action to promote life.  That may be in the form of volunteering at a pregnancy resource center or supporting one with your prayers, material donations or monetary means.  Maybe you just need to share life-affirming messages in your circle of influence, whether that is via social media or just old-fashioned conversation over coffee.

Another reason I mention the minutes is that I have to apologize that I do not have more time to the attention deserved for this day of note.  It is a deep desire to share more about this day than posting a picture.  It is worth taking the 5 minutes I do have to do this little bit on the blog, but the big scheme is that I am glad for the opportunity to spend the rest of the day ministering to ones seeking hope and help.   Only with God in those rooms, can I do this.  Off I go!
