Abortion is Murder, a weak, pathetic response
to baby murder, is sent out at least once a month. If the gestapo hasn’t jailed you for
defending the innocent realistically, you either have to tell me you want it or
go to the website. Faxes and emails are
free but snail-mail is free only for PFCs, $700 for others.
Because I believe we should examine every
legitimate means, including force, in our attempt to protect those being
tortured to death, I want to hear from people who’ve been forceful and from
those who defend them. I’d also like to
hear from those prolifers and pro-deathers who call force violence.

This completes the ninth year of this newsletter.
I edited “Pro-Life Berks” a few years before that, too, but then I got
kicked out of the organization for advocating self-defense. So I went off on my own.

What a
story! Don’t miss Pat Richard’s 3/18 post on the
abortion.ws blog. True or not, and
brief, it’s got all the elements -- drama, intrigue, an informer, a gullible
good guy, and especially questions, questions, questions – everything.
I’ve never heard of our almost hero, Daniel
Ware, and googling him didn‘t answer much.
And it’s hard to believe baby killers would be so stupid as to gather in
one place. (But wait a minute! What
about Pat’s picture of them together in front of the Supreme Court!)
The story is instructive, though, even if
fictitious: in this day and age if you are going to break one of the diabolic
laws that protect baby killers, their helpers, the places where they kill,
etc., in other words, if you are going to attack the culture of death
effectively, tell no one. This
is not a guerrilla war, a small war, you will be engaged in; if you decide to
defend the endangered forcefully today, you
must do that
by your self.
------------------------------------------
One of Our Greatest
Heroes:
Hello John, It has been some time since I last did so, so perhaps I can firstly take this
opportunity to once again express my appreciation and give my thanks to those
on the prisoner list who, out of a pure heart and with good motivation, have
made large sacrifices to speak on behalf of the unborn (all the unborn
victims) and to defend the gospel.
“If someone is
raped by her father and becomes pregnant (etc.), is Scott going to foot the
bill for the child’s upbringing and care?”
For perhaps the first time in his life, Patrick, (March 2 inclusion),
who wrote that, has raised a valid question.
I fancy, though, that it would have been an even better question, much
better, had it been directed elsewhere: to the rapist father. This has always been the problem with
pro-abortionists, always suggesting that the cost of someone’s actions should
be passed on to someone else, usually the unborn.
During half a
dozen exchanges of dialogue, on two occasion Patrick accused Scott of giving no
answer. However, on the first occasion,
in his first reply, Scott’s evasion of the question told us everything we need
to know. And if that wasn’t enough, in
his next reply he said, “And you wouldn’t be willing to, either.” Patrick’s next words were: “You did not
answer the question.” Well, what does
the word “either” (“you wouldn’t . . . either”) mean and what does it tell
anyone who isn’t blind.
Of course there are
people who go in for this type of thing; there are those who spend whatever
time they can find canvassing for funds (and distributing them) to help such
babies to be raised. I can’t imagine,
though, how this effort/question from Patrick, framed in the way it was, could
ever be seen as an attempt to do that.
My own advice as to what such canvassers (and everyone else) should do
has always been a bit too tough for them to accept, but if this is a genuine
concern of Patrick’s, perhaps he could approach one such group (or more) and
see how he gets on with his sensible suggestion that they be a good deal more
discerning in the future and save their assistance for those who are pregnant
through no fault of their own (the one in a thousand, that is, who is), rather
than do as they do and squander the raised money by allowing themselves to be
blackmailed by those who have voluntarily got themselves up the duff (the 999
in a thousand). I am sure they must be
doing themselves out of funds by not being able to inform people that they are particularly discerning.
And yes, if he is
truly concerned about these rare cases, if he is not just an actor playing a
role, since he won’t do what he really should do, then perhaps Patrick (and
anyone like him) could volunteer himself as an assistant in the raising of such
funds instead of screaming out “kill, kill, kill the innocent” anytime someone
becomes a victim of rape.
It was Scott who
was asked the question, not me; but if anyone wants my answer: When I say that
the entire flock were lost, all 100 of them, I knew that the sensible thing for people to do was to go in search of
the 99 lost sheep rather than chase after the one (or none). I did not see anyone doing that, though, not
even amongst millions of so-called
shepherds. All I saw from them and all I
heard from them was the bullcrap claim that the Lord was pleased with them
after they had left 99 percent of the endangered unborn to fend for themselves
among the wolves – “we’re good folks, we’re Christians.” This false claim and slander pissed me off
more than anything else, and I knew that the strongest protest had to be made.
Once again, my
thanks go out to any prisoner who, with a pure heart and good motivations, has
stood up to speak on behalf of the voiceless unborn (all the voiceless unborn)
and to defend Jesus’ name.
Finally, a word
to and about Paul Evans. Very
disappointed, from more than one perspective, to learn that Paul has fallen
into the arms of the tobacco company executives and then pushes to help them
peddle their worthless poison. On the day of their arrest, when someone has
just learned that they will now almost certainly not be there for their three
year old son as he grows, and their concern is not totally focused on that but
is taken away and lost to: “I continually asked the agents for the cigarettes
and lighter that I thought were in my pocket,” it is made clearer to me once
again that this stuff gets them hooked probably even worse than heroin. If there is anything else worthy of your
mind’s focus at such a time, it is certainly not this. If I had to look back and admit that there
was something like this that had come in and stolen away the focus of my
concern from where it should be, there is only one thing I could say: The thing
that did this has got to go, and this has got to stop. Never will I have this happen again.
Farewell, Peter [Knight]

Our Latest Hero:
Dear
Sirs, I’ve been receiving your
newsletter here at FDC Miami. I would
like to know if you have any pen pals I could write to and if so could you send
me a list. My family has turned against
me and I have no one to write to. This newsletter is the only thing I receive
in the mail. It’s kind of hard doing
time alone here. I appreciate everything
you’re doing for the cause of God’s will.
If we had more people out there, maybe we wouldn’t have these acts going
on. Not many are bold enough to stand up
like me and Eric Rudolph. It infuriates
me to know I didn’t do more before I was caught. I’m sorry this is so short but I don’t have a
lot to say at the moment. I’m sorry I
didn’t write sooner but I’ve been under a lot of stress being in here with no
one to conversate with.
Your
friend, Bobby
That’s Bobby Joe Rogers,
guys. Write him quick.

Oops, looks as if we have an even
later one:
After
a bottle containing incendiary chemicals combusted outside a Wisconsin
Planned Parenthood Sunday evening, a local man with a history of trouble with
the law has been arrested and made his first appearance in court Wednesday
to answer to charges of arson.
Fire crews in Grand Chute, Wisc. responded to
a fire near a windowsill of the city’s Planned Parenthood on April 1.
The device, a bottle containing gasoline, was the source of a fire, which
extinguished itself before emergency personnel arrived. The fire reportedly
caused minimal damage.
According to a local NBC report,
police were at first unsure whether the bottle, which erupted while the
facility was closed, was a genuine attempt at violence or “simply someone’s bad
idea of an April fool’s prank.”
However,
Francis Grady was arrested hours after the incident for driving intoxicated.
Police then used surveillance camera footage to identify his van as the same
that was outside the Planned Parenthood at the time of the arson, and that was
involved in a car accident later in the day. Grady said in court Wednesday
he intended to burn the Planned Parenthood facility down.
Grady has a long history of run-ins in the law, having been arrested in the past
for manufacturing cocaine, resisting or obstructing a police officer, and
skipping out on bail.
“Do you even care at all about the 1,000
babies that died screaming?” Grady reportedly asked the judge in U.S. District Court in Green Bay. He
later told a reporter that he planted the device because “they’re killing
babies there.”
According to an FBI affidavit, Grady smashed in the window of the Planned Parenthood
and poured gasoline into the building before setting fire to his device,
lighting his own jacket on fire in the process.
Grady was charged with “arson of a building
used in interstate commerce” and “intentionally damaging the property of a
facility to provide reproductive health services,” and scheduled for a
preliminary hearing on April 19.
In announcing the arrest, Teresa Carlson,
special agent-in-charge of the FBI’s Milwaukee office, said in a statement that, “The FBI will always investigate and bring to
justice anyone who resorts to violence as a means to harm, intimidate, or
prevent the public’s right to access reproductive health services.”
The event sparked condemnation from every GOP
presidential candidate. Former Sen. Rick Santorum said in a statement, “While
we can and should work to defund Planned Parenthood and push back against
government mandates that force Americans and religious institution to violate
their faith, violence against our fellow citizens has no place in a
freedom-loving America.”
-------------------------------------------
Cardinal
George of Chicago made a remarkable statement recently: “I’ll die in my
bed, my successor will die in jail, and his successor will be martyred in the
public square.” Coming from one of the
remaining few believing Catholic prelates, that remark would have been
dismissed as hyperbole, but coming from “ol’ lukewarm” it has to be taken
seriously.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kate Ranieri teaches and frequently writes in
the Allentown, Pa, area promoting the “pro-choice” agenda. In four short paragraphs on the 4/3
abortion.ws blog she manages to include all eight of these anti-prolife curses:
1 -- the vitriol of
a well-funded, misogynistic minority Hell-bent on returning women to draconian
servitude
2 -- doctors and
clinic directors know they are the potential target of an unknown “prolife”
terrorist intent on killing them
3 -- imposters,
errant anti abortion moles
4 -- fiendish anti
abortion activists
5 -- the
maliciousness of the MD Coalition for Life and others anti abortion zealots
across the nation
6 -- the anti
abortion activists are the epitome of selfishness
7 -- They are a
bundle of self-serving, self-centered egotists
8 -- No amount of
malevolent action from the anti abortion-minded will thwart . . .
No one will contradict Kate since the commenters
are all pro-death except for me and I am afraid to go on that blog. Moreover, a soon-to-be majority of Americans
would applaud her. That’s why George’s
statement is on the money.
-------------------------------------------
I
come across more good news on
abortion.ws than I do in most prolife writings. This week, 4/8, for example, I
learned that Mississippi will soon be the first state to end legal
child-killing. May many more follow.
As honest, and as forthright, and as open to
dialogue as the main writer over there, Pat Richards, is, though, he is unable,
when it comes down to it, to talk straight. This terrible inability causes most
literate pro-deathers to become embittered. Pat is very good at hiding it If he
is indeed embittered; if he’s not, I pray to God he doesn’t fall into that pit.
Here’s Pat not being able to talk straight:
“Of course, we all know that the women in Mississippi will continue to get
abortions because the desire to NOT bear a child is so strong that a woman will
go to extraordinary lengths to terminate her pregnancy.”
And here’s talking straight: “Of course, we
all know that the women in Mississippi will continue to get abortions because
the desire to NOT bear a child is so strong that a woman will go to
extraordinary lengths to kill that child.”
No pro-deather is able to be that honest, not
even Pat.
-------------------------------------------
Todd Stave is Back and Now He Wants – What? –
Why Money of Course:
Dear
Volunteers and Supporters, I want to welcome our new members and
volunteers. Voice of Choice has grown nearly 100% in the past two weeks due to
some very favorable exposure. The Washington Post published an article about Voice of Choice that had over 1 million hits.
The reporter, Petula Dvorak, called me on for
a follow up interview on April 2. The feedback to the Post focused on two
aspects how Voice of Choice approaches the problems of bullying and harassment.
First, we craft calm and measured responses. We want to send a message so that
the people responsible for the anti-social behavior understand that they will
be held accountable for their actions and at the same time lower the propensity
for violence and hate.
Second, we respect everyone's first amendment
rights and we respect everyone's opinions and beliefs. We do not agree with
everyone's opinions and beliefs, but in America we respect everyone's rights to
freedoms granted by our Constitution, but limited by laws and community
standards.
The exposure that Voice of Choice and our
mission has received in the media and in the blogosphere has already had an
impact. Just shining a light on the threatening and offensive behavior of
radical activists has diminished the activity. Most people who know that their
behavior is wrong do not want to be exposed or be held accountable, and the
credible threat of unleashing an army of people bent on justice is enough to
stop about 90% of people from bullying other people. That is consistent with
classic bully behavior and it means that our mere existence is effective.
But we cannot break everyone's resolve, and
there is still much work for us to do. We continue to receive requests from
people for help with their harassment issues. Now, with many more volunteers,
we can more effectively come to their aid, and I am in the process of
organizing our next campaigns. Stay tuned!
The growth of Voice of Choice has been
amazing, but we are now too big and have too many volunteers for me to work
alone. I need at least a part time staff. I am asking each of you for a donation of
$36 for the year ($3 per month) so that we can hire someone. If you cannot
afford it, please donate what you can. And for those of you that can afford it,
please help make up for those who cannot.
I believe in our
mission, and I know you do too. I believe that our mere existence will give
pause to people who might otherwise engage in anti-social behavior. Most
important, I believe Voice of Choice is becoming a true force in preserving
woman's rights. And I am grateful that you have chosen to join our effort.
Thanks again for your support. Todd Stave, Director
I returned an email: Tell you what, Todd, if you can get
even one of your more than three hundred helpers who promised to visit me to
actually visit me, I’ll contribute. All talk?
-------------------------------------------
Pat Richard’s post on the
April 15 abortion.ws blog is thought- provoking as usual. The sign Paul Hill used to hold before he
executed the serial killer and the killer’s helper asked if serial killers
should themselves be killed. Pat implies
that if the sign had not asked a question but just made a statement, Paul would
have been put in prison and those two lives would have been saved. I agree.
The next step then is that when the authorities agree, the question mark
will not matter. The question itself will be cause enough for incarceration.
And the step after that will be to make it even more difficult for us
prolifers to function. We will get to
the point where we will not even be allowed to say “abortion is murder.”
Someone, the authorities will say, will eventually believe us and act on that
belief, and the authorities will be right.
This is what those prolifers who attack Paul, and they are legion,
overlook. Deep down they do not really
believe abortion is murder. Otherwise,
they would never attack someone who acts as if it’s murder.
They do not really believe that Paul that day saved the lives of fifteen
young people. They can’t see past his
termination of two old boys.

Defend
Life, a Maryland-based Pro-Life organization, was conducting its 8th
annual “Face the Truth” tour and was making its final stop in Harford County
along Route 24. The goal of the tour is to educate the public about the grave
injustice of abortion and the killing of innocent children. Demonstrators,
standing by the side of the road, hold large photographic images aborted
pre-born babies to show the true face of this barbaric practice.
Law enforcement officials received many 911 calls from drivers who objected to the images being displayed in the public right of way by Defend Life’s supporters. In response to those calls, the Maryland State Police, assisted by Hartford County and Bel Air city officials, committed lawless arrests and jailing of protesters, including outrageous “strip searches” of several teenage girls.
The arrests were ordered by one of the Trooper defendants, Sgt. Dona Bohlen, the duty officer, who is heard stating on a communication tape: “they can all sit in a cell for an hour… and two, or three or four and rot…” Although the original pretext for the arrest was failure to obtain a “permit” for the demonstration, no permit was in fact required, and the arresting officers substituted other charges, all of which were later dismissed.
In depositions during the course of the federal suit, Maryland State Police Lt. Douglas Zeller confirmed that he was the Commander of the Harford County barracks, and provided these comments under oath:

“If I
knew the freedom of speech applied to this case, I would not have done what
I've done. It's just an example of something that our department did not ever
experience before.”
“If I
knew what I knew today, I wouldn't have arrested.”
Tom Brejcha,
President and Chief Legal Counsel of the Thomas More Society, a Chicago public
interest law firm, stated, “The mass arrest, handcuffing, prolonged detention,
jailing, and needless, invasive strip searches of fully peaceable, non-violent
pro-life demonstrators by Maryland State Police was an outrageous suppression
of citizens’ fundamental First and Fourth Amendment rights in a traditional
public forum. This was a tragedy exacerbated by 911 tapes and police radio
recordings showing that state troopers had no clue as to there being any legal
basis for their actions. This was a classic case of an illicit ‘Heckler’s veto’
-- suppressing expression because listeners and observers objected to its
content.”
Brejcha continued, “A free society cannot exist if those whose sworn duty is to protect the public misuse their power to arrest and jail innocent people to curtail and stifle their message.”
Under the terms of the settlement, Maryland State Police cannot issue countywide dispersal orders against peaceful pro-life speakers, cannot illegally arrest pro-life speakers who are exercising their constitutionally protected free speech and assembly rights, must provide acceptable reasons for asking any speakers to move, must provide speakers with the opportunity to move before threatening anyone with arrest, cannot censor constitutionally protected messages and images on signs, and must participate in training on rights protected by the First and Fourth amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The settlement also requires the state to pay for the pro-life advocates’ attorneys’ fees of $277,000. The remaining $108,000 will be split amongst the 10 defendants who filed suit.
“Defend Life will be monitoring the training aspect of the settlement with the Maryland State Police through our attorneys”, said Jack Ames, a plaintiff in the case, “We want to be assured that substantive training actually takes place to ensure no other group or individual goes through what we experienced.”
Ames contends the police abuse they received from the Maryland State Police stems partially from an overall lack of training, but a hostile and openly discriminatory environment at the State Police training academy.
“We also want assurances that women in the State of Maryland who seek to serve the public by serving in our most prestigious law enforcement agency are treated with dignity and respect. Everyone should remember, these women are law enforcement professionals, but they are also our daughters, sisters, aunts, and even our mothers,” Mr. Ames said.

My buddy
from Hawaii asks me some questions [my answers are in brackets]:
Dear John,
Mitt Romney talks about wanting to "overturn" Roe v. Wade, but I think
it would be better journalism to educate the public about the fact that Romney
has steered clear of the fundamental proposition of the children's right to due
process and the equal protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment.
Instead, he wants the U.S. Supreme Court to go revisit the days of the Dred
Scott slavery decision with abortion, by holding that the children are beings
so far inferior that they have no rights we are "bound" to respect,
such that the states can decide for themselves what sort of figurative
recognition they would like to afford. In contrast, Roe went a step further
than Dred Scott, by in effect forcing all states to accept slavery. So do you
share Romney's view? [nope] Do you believe we should abandon Roe to return to the
days of Dred Scott--by letting states decide? [yup] Or do you believe we should
abandon Roe in favor of the children's rights under the Fourteenth Amendment?
[better yet]
Sincerely, Cal.

Some Late News in Case You Haven’t Heard:
Madison,
Wisconsin, March 2012: A federal grand jury indicted Ralph Lang, 63, on
charges of attempting to intimidate by force people participating in a program
receiving federal financial assistance, as well as using or carrying a firearm
in relation to the alleged crime. According to police, Lang travelled to
Madison to threaten to kill people at a local Planned Parenthood clinic; he was
arrested after allegedly firing his gun in a motel room while practicing
drawing it.
Pensacola, Florida, February 2012: A federal
grand jury indicted Bobby Joe Rogers, 41, of Pensacola, Florida, for the
alleged arson of a women’s health clinic in Pensacola the previous month.
Rogers allegedly used a Molotov cocktail (a type of incendiary device) to set
the fire.
Madera, California, January 2012: A federal
court sentenced Donny Eugene Mower, 38, to five years in prison for having
thrown a Molotov cocktail at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Madera in 2010,
leaving behind a note that read, in part, “Let’s see if you can burn just as
well as your victims.”
McKinney, Texas, July 2011: A Molotov
cocktail was thrown at a Planned Parenthood clinic in north Texas.
Greensboro,
North Carolina, March 2011: Justin Carl Moose, 26, received a 30-month federal
prison sentence after pleading guilty to distributing information pertaining to
the manufacturing and use of an explosive. Moose, who claimed to be part of the
radical anti-abortion group Army of God, had described himself as an “extremist
radical fundamentalist” who wanted to fight abortion “by any means necessary
and at any cost.” He had provided bomb-making instructions to an undercover FBI
informant whom he thought was going to bomb an abortion clinic.
Wichita, Kansas, April 2010: A federal court
sentenced anti-abortion extremist Scott Roeder to life in prison on first
degree murder and aggravated assault charges for the June 2009 assassination of
a Wichita physician who performed abortion procedures.
Plano, Texas, April 2010: FBI agents arrested
Erlydon Lo, 27, on charges that he threatened to use deadly force against a
women’s clinic in Dallas. Lo had filed a document threatening to appear at the
facility the next day that said, in part, “if I must use deadly force to defend
the innocent life of another human being, I will.”
St.
Paul, Minnesota, May 2009: Matthew Lee Derosia, 33, received a sentence of time
serviced and five years of probation for purposely driving his truck earlier
that year into the front of a St. Paul Planned Parenthood clinic on the
anniversary of the Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade.

More on Donny:
Madera Man Gets 5 Year Sentence for Arson
& Vandalism
Donny Eugene
Mower of Madera, was sentenced in federal court following his October 2011
guilty plea to one count of arson, one count of damaging religious property and
one count of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act,
which makes it a federal crime to damage the property of a reproductive health
services facility. These charges stem from Mower’s lighting a fire inside a
Planned Parenthood clinic and throwing a brick at a mosque in Madera.
Mower was sentenced by Judge Lawrence J.
O’Neill to five years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised
release. Mower was also ordered to pay more than $26,000 in restitution.
When Mower plead guilty in October 2011, he
admitted that in the early morning hours of September 2, 2010, he constructed a
Molotov cocktail by stuffing a fuel-soaked cloth into a beer bottle. He then
drove to Madera Planned Parenthood Clinic, lit the Molotov cocktail, and threw
it through a ground-floor window of the clinic. As a result of the ensuing
fire, the clinic sustained more than $26,000 of damage and had to close for two
days.
Mower also acknowledged that on August 20,
2010, two days after placing a sign in front of Masjid Madera that read “No
temple for the god of terrorism at ground zero. ANB,” he threw a brick at the
front of the mosque and damaged its facade. On August 24, 2010, Mower left
additional signs at the mosque, stating “Wake up America, the enemy is here”
and “American Nationalist Brotherhood.” Mower admitted that he threw the brick
at Masjid Madera because of the race, color or ethnic characteristics of the
individuals associated with the mosque.
“This sentence sends a powerful message that
the Justice Department will not tolerate violent interference with the lawful
work of reproductive health clinics or attacks on places of worship of all
faiths,” said Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights
Division. “The Department of Justice remains committed to protecting our
communities from such violence and will continue to aggressively prosecute
these acts.”
“Those who resort to threats and violence to
intimidate others in the free exercise of their rights will attract the full
force of federal law enforcement,” said U.S. Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner for
the Eastern District of California. “Mr. Mower not only attempted to burn a
clinic that lawfully provided reproductive health services, he tried to
intimidate and incite hatred against Muslim Americans. As the sentence imposed
today indicates, victims of such offenses have an ally not only in the Justice
Department, but in federal law.”
This case was investigated by the FBI, the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Madera Police
Department and the Madera County Sheriff’s Department. The case was prosecuted
by Assistant U.S. Attorney Elana Landau for the Eastern District of California
and Trial Attorney Chiraag Bains from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights
Division.
Rev. Don Spitz’s follow-up: Donny
pled guilty to one count of arson and one count of violating the Freedom of
Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which makes it a federal crime to damage
the property of a babykilling abortion mill. These charges stem from Donny
lighting a fire inside a Planned Parenthood mill.
