If you’re a reader of this blog you’ve seen a few stories about videos about the abortion clinic in Rockford, Illinois which is a pretty sick place.
For the past few months, every time the ultrasound truck attempts to park outside the clinic, the abortuary’s landlord runs his old cars out into the street to fill the spot. Think about how sick it is to go to such lengths to prevent women from seeing the baby in their womb.
On Wednesday, a number of priests arrived at the clinic to pray. The landlord was so disturbed by the presence of the priests that he spent his time creating and hanging anti-Catholic signs from the window. So consumed he was with hatred for the priests that he missed that a spot had opened up directly across the street from the clinic.
And because of that, a life was saved. A woman who was entering the clinic chose to go into the ultrasound truck instead.
Think about that, the hatred of a priest may have saved a life. Here’s some pretty cool video of the event.

I am originally from Rockford – it's good to see these non-confrontational tactics and that they are succeeding – even in little ways. Much better than some former attempts, such as the priest who, about 10 years ago, rammed the front doors with an SUV and entered the building with an axe. That kind of thing does not win the Pro-Life movement any friends. This is a wonderful testament to the power of prayer.

Good, courageous, manly priests. May Almighty God bless them in their trials and their Spiritual Works of Mercy and by the power of the Holy Spirit enlighten every heart and mind to know the evil of abortion. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

The laws which permit the intentional (organised, industrialised) killing of unborn human children are invalid as they flout fundamental laws of nature and God. One is morally obliged to protest against them and do what is feasible to save the lives of those babies that are threatened. Never accept the warped thinking of abortion supporters and don't adopt their dishonest terminology – such as "termination of pregnancy", "abortion rights", "right to choose", etc. The widespread adoption of such vague and inaccurate terms has contributed greatly to people being tricked into suspending reason and judgment on this heinous crime against our children, our society, our humanity. Thank God for those such as Linda Gibbons who refuse to look the other way and whose persecution is a powerful testament to truth and the great evil being carried out in the name of all citizens of countries that allow this holocaust, which injures everyone of us. Work to let the world know the truth of the greatest injustice and inhumanity of all time. God have mercy on us for not having risen up against the holocaust – our silence has enabled this evil to grow and consume ever greater numbers of souls.

I reiterate my position: they need to go see an exorcist…

I suppose the women who change their minds are directed to a pregnancy center who can help them see the pregenancy to a "productive" end. Any info in that regard?

@Sharron
Is there a particular city or town for which you want information?
Is there someone you know who needs help to bear and then care for her child? There are so many ways mothers in crisis can be helped, but specifying a location is step one.

They can yell and scream at me as a priest as much as they want, if that saves a life!

You can just hear it "Those priests are bad for business! Let no child escape! That is lost revenue…"
