Diary of A Prolife Activist contd.
A few months after the Tallahassee Rescue , there was another Rescue held in Orlando, Florida, quite a few people were arrested once again for sitting peacefully in front of the doors to a killing center. The rescuers arrived by the bus load, as the bus pulled up to the killing site there were numerous police, some on foot, some on horseback. The killing center was barricaded off by police barricades, wooden saw horses, and yellow tape that says DO NOT CROSS, as we filed off the bus we quickly and peacefully proceeded past the police and barricades and sat down on the ground in front of the doors to the killing center. We sung songs like God bless America, Jesus Loves the Little Children etc. My two daughters and my twin grandbabies were there as observers. When they arrested us they put us in pattywagons, and as they were leaving to take us to jail I asked the police driver of the patty wagon if I could holler out the window to my children, and he said NO, but some women in the back of the patty wagon
hollered out the back to my children, "your mom is in here" it is a pretty pathetic day in America when your children have to see you arrested for trying to defend life. I know that when we stand before our Lord and Saviour He will say, well done good and faithful servant. On the way to the jail we sang Victory in Jesus. When we were locked in the holding cells we were singing praise songs, and we even received a request from the guards to sing Amazing Grace. It is a spiritual experience when Christians are thrown in jail. We have church. We were only held a few hours in jail, and released with a court date for later.
Before I go much further, I feel it is imperative to share some of the things that touched my heart and opened my eyes to the truth of abortion. First of all I was made aware that abortion kills babies, little human babies with heads, eyes, arms, and legs. The babies are literally cut up in the womb and sucked out, their little heads are mashed, and they are either incinerated or thrown out in a dumpster. Sometimes women are permanently injured or die from an abortion. More women have died from "safe legal abortions" than before it was made "legal". Women are most definitely emotionally injured for the rest of their life when they come to realize that they killed their baby. A great many women have turned to drugs and suicide after an abortion because they can not cope with the emotional aftermath. At this point I need to include some pictures because pictures say a thousand words.
ABORTION
At the pro-life meetings I attended and at the Rescues, I met some of the most loving, and caring people that I had ever met in my entire life. Jesus said, what greater love has man than to lay down his life for his friends. All of the people whom I came in contact with were willing to do just that, they actually and literally layed down their lives so that others might live. In my wildest dreams I would never have dreamt that I would one day be involved in Rescues, and be hauled off to jail. But then I never had any idea that our government would legalize the killing of innocent children. All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.
The more meetings I went to and the more knowledge and truth about abortion that came to me, the more I felt I had a direct responsibility to do all that I could to save
babies, and their mothers, and to educate as many as I possibly could about the devastating effects of abortion.
When I went to my first Rescue in Tallahassee, I didn't really think that peaceful people trying to save other people from sure death would be arrested. There is a thing called Necessity defense which in legal jargon means you can go anywhere or into any place if you think someones life is in jeopardy to save that persons life. But I found out that abortion is a multi-billion dollar business, and with that kind of money the abortionists want to protect their ludicrous business no matter what the cost. They did not want the exposure that Rescues brought to peoples attention in their neighborhoods, and in the media. Even though the media has never really showed the truth of abortion. There have been many dead babies found in dumpsters, and other places but the media never shows a picture of a dead aborted baby or babies.
JANUARY OF 1989
Unbelievable Rescues in D. C.
In January of 1989 I flew to Washington, D.C. to participate in Rescues there. I was met at the airport by Susan Brindle, Joan Andrews sister and taken to the home of another one of Joan's sisters. It was such a joy and pleasure to be in these precious peoples company. People were flying in from all across the United States. That evening there was a rally at a church and we all went, the rally lasted late and we did not return to Joan's sisters house, instead we wound up getting lost and we kept going round and round on one of those circles that Washington is so famous for. We finally wound up staying at a hotel with many other rescuers.
The only thing was, all my clothes were back at Joan's sisters house, and it was very cold.
But not to worry, I just asked the Lord to take care of all this. So the next morning bright and early and in the brisk morning we all went to the church and got in waiting vehicles to go to the rescues. By the grace of God I got in a vehicle that took us to a building where the killing center was upstairs in a warm building. (Not all of the vehicles went to this building,) some were going to be outside.
We all went inside this warm building that housed a killing center, and we sat in the hall and in front of the door to the abortion chamber. There was this Catholic priest, his name was Norman Weslin he was looking for a second door to the killing center and all of a sudden a door opened up right where he stood so he immediately stood in the doorway spread eagle to keep it open, and called other rescuers to come and block the door, I immediately went and stood in the doorway with him, and there was a monk sitting in the doorway also. The women workers inside started molesting Norman by grabbing him in the crotch. But we just started singing and praying. After a while the police came and negotiated with both sides. The abortion workers decided that they would close the killing center for the day if we would leave. We agreed to leave the building, but stood outside for quite a long time to insure that what they said was true, and that they would not kill babies that day. Well that day there were no arrests at that killing center and no babies died there that day. PRAISE GOD
When we finally left that killing place we went to another location where a Rescue was taking place, and there were people and police everywhere in the street. I tried to get over to where the rescuers were, but there was this yellow ribbon that the police put out that says do not cross, as I went to go under the ribbon one of the police asked me where I was going, I told him I was going over there to see a friend. He said no you are not. So I went across the street and observed the ongoing arrests. The police were handcuffing and arresting our people and putting them on a bus, when the bus was loaded and ready to leave for the jail, much to my amazement several people quickly crawled under the bus. They were soon drug out and arrested. The longer rescuers are in the area, the more babies that will be spared from sure death that day. So the Lord has given us different tactics to confound the wise.
The Rescues were going on at the same time thousands of people had the March For Life in Washington. What is it going to take to get across to our governing officials that ABORTION IS MURDER. There has been so much written, spoken and demonstrated that I can hardly believe that everyone in the world does not know that abortion is the taking of a life.
IT'S A CHILD/NOT A CHOICE.
