Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at the Focus Center We are blessed with a new Material Aid person, who is now coming in to help out with the baby clothes, on Wednesdays. Her job is to put the clothes away & to make sure that they are clean & without stains then puts them in the appropriate baskets by sizes. We also have Melody, who blesses us in the Material Aid Room, on Tuesdays & does a great job. The two Elim Bible students were sick tonight, so were unable to come this evening, I was disappointed, for they are so helpful & sweet. What a blessing, they are, for me. Tucker stayed out in front of Planned Parenthood, to protest along with Gloria, who came by to be with him to pray. I had a lot going on, in the center, so there I was for the evening. I thank God, for all the dedicated people, that he gives me, to help out in the center, so that we can assist, our clients, in what they need for their babies.
November 4, 2009 in front of the Inn on Broadway There was a protest at the Inn on Broadway this evening. There were Rob, Bill, John & myself. Planned Parenthood was celebrating their abortionist, Rachael Phelps, for a luncheon & cocktail party, all deathers were invited. But the pro lifer stole the show, thanks to the Holy Spirit. People on the sidewalk were friendly & took our informational packets & DVD's & spoke with us for awhile. We met two people that knew Jerry Crawford & Mike Warren, from Rescue Rochester. There was even a worker in the restaurant that was pro life & was discussed to have to serve these people that 'murder children'. It was a 'great protest'.
Mass & Banquet, with Father Frank, was such a blessing on Nov. 7th. Martha & I went to see our two 'saved' babies. They were so precious & getting bigger & bigger every day. Praise God for His goodness. This was a great evening spending time with my fellow pro lifers that work hard to end abortion. Great group of people that I am humbled to know & to work with. I even got to meet some new people & to share. Fr. Frank was so informative in his speech. What a blessed evening.
Wednesday , Nov. 11, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood It was good to see Becki, from Elim Bible Institute again. She was ill & couldn't make it last Wednesday at the center. Both her & Amber showed up to do work at the center tonight. How great!! I keep them busy. I had put donations on the shelf in the Material Aid room earlier so it was ready to service our clients. Tucker arrived so I didn't want him to be by himself on the street, so when I could get away I went to the sidewalk to be with him. I engaged some people which is always a challenge. The Rape counselors were driving into Planned Parenthood for their meeting. One car ad advertisement that she was working for a cleaning company. I sent the main office some information about Planned Parenthood & how they DON'T report statuary rapes, thought hey have a Rape Counseling services at the main abortion center at 114 University Ave. How warped & sick. What hiprocrates!! Hope that her boss tells her to keep her & the company car away from Planned Parenthood now since she knows the truth about this evil organization that murders people. We'll see. People walking down the street are offered Rosaries & are blessed when they take them. The smiles on their faces are so heart warming. Mother Mary please draw these people to your Son Jesus. Thank you dear Mother. A car stopped by the sidewalk & he said to me "are you going to take care of these children". I said "yes, sir you don't kill children. Adoption is the answer NOT abortion & I think that God is not happy with your question". He made a face & drove away. Oh yea these sick people think that you should murder these children so they won't be a bother to society or their families. How sick!!! Poor man I do hope that he repents soon! Lots of positive honking of horns to our favor tonight. It's about time. Most of the country is Pro Life now, again what took so long people. The girls in the center worked very hard tonight & left at 6PM. Mary K. came to help me in the Material Aid room, we were blessed with many great items & clothes. The room is becoming to small for all that we have in the room for mother's children. We have all sizes of children clothes from infant to size 7, shoes, blankets, toys, books, lamps, stuffed animals, winter clothes & jackets, formula, diapers, blankets etc. Thank you everyone for your generous support to the center & to the Material Aid room so that we can completely assist our clients & their families. Mary spent time with her darling daughter to help me put things away & to oragnize the room some more. Thanks girls. It was a productive time on the street & at the center. Praise God for all your help to us.
Thursday, Nov. 12, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood
Martha & I got to the center & frontlines after Mass today. Mike, Winnie & Joan meet us there at the center. They brought some baby clothes & non- perishable foods for our food shelves. Also Celeste came later to drop off some food for our shelves, thanks everyone! Suzanne, our Thursday counselor was not able to come today, so Martha & I will have to man the center & street today. I do appreciate all your efforts in helping our clients, Suzanne, as our Thursday counselor. I went out to the frontlines & started to counsel. They were killing little babies today. A young girl came out of Planned Parenthood with a brown bag, which is birth control, they give after an abortion, & was being picked up by a Taxi, which is not a good sign. Then cars came flooding into the parking lot. Usually there were cars with a girl & a guy in it. One of the guys was waving at me, as he & his girlfriend were going into Planned Parenthood, after I offered them help & later on, when he drove out, probably to Wendy's, he blew me a kiss. How sick! He brought his girlfriend into Planned Parenthood to kill their child & he blows me a kiss. What a sick person. Us being out there probably made him uncomfortable, yea!! Sometimes I feel that I'm in an horror movie or having a nightmare, that I can't wake up from. We had a mother of twins come in for the high chair & she dropped off some baby clothes & diapers for the center. Nice switch. As we helped her out she helped us out. Martha stayed to help another client in the center with a pregnancy test. Mike who was with me on the street along with his wife & their friend spotted that the condo, across the street, was up For Sale. I asked him to call to see how much they were asking. He did & then told me that they were asking $200,039.00 for the place. In your dreams people, right across the street from Planned Parenthood the Killing Mill. Some poor sucker probably will buy it, I sure hope who ever does buy the condo are nice & not mean like the other 2 condo residents. Or, Oh Boy, here we go again.
Martha was still in the center & I was out on the sidewalk when I hollered over to 2 young people, a black young man & a white young lady. He gave me indication that he was not receptive to the information that I was offering him but a few minutes later he walked over to me. Carol had now arrived & was in back of me. She came along side of me when this young man approached me. I told him that PP was racist. Then Carol said that she has a Black grandchild & I said that I have a great niece & nephew that are Black. Then he became defensive. He said "why are you telling me that I'm not Black". Okay, denounce your Race, which is crazy. I offered him the Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. century DVD & he refused it. He then said that his Aunty is the Vice President of Planned Parenthood. Oh boy! Another Black person helping to kill off the Black race. I grew concerned, so I offered him the DVD once again. He reached over & took it from me, which I was glad, but only for a moment, for he broke it in two & threw it on the sidewalk. Violence on the street! I said thanks for nothing & he walked over to be with his white friend. Just then a Taxi cab drove up to pick them up, so I took my cell phone out of my pocket & pretended to call 911, by not pressing any buttons. I looked to see the license number of the cab & pretended to write it down on the paper, just to scare him a little, but this probably wouldn't scare this guy, he wasn't afraid of little oh me. Can't blame me for trying after he destroyed my property. I was a bit ticked off. If you didn't want it then just don't take, that's OK with me. I offered it to him twice to many times. Why can't you be happy with how God made you, Black or White, we were ALL created by God & will go back to God someday. Let's all just get along while were here on Earth together!!! What a better world it would be.
PROTEST AT THE ROCHESTER CONVENTION CENTER of PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S ABORTIONIST RACHAEL PHELPS @ 11:30am. Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha wasn't going to be on the front lines today, which I knew in advance. I really depend on her so much to help out in the center & to be a sidewalk counselor on the frontlines. She is such a blessing to me. The pro life team, who has been out there for the past 14 years, in all kinds of weather & situations are also a blessing. The dedication of the team to pray & to witness against the evils Planned Parenthood is rare most cities. What a blessing to Rochester are these fantastic people. You know who you are. God bless you all. When I arrived at the center after Mass there was Paula waiting for me in the parking lot. She had brought me bags of clothes & some food for the food shelves from her daughter Hannah, who bought these things from her baby-sitting money. What a blessing is this sweet 16 year old girl, who along with her mother volunteered at the Focus Center about 2 years ago before the family added twin girls form Ethiopia which they adopted. This family is to busy to volunteer at this time but blesses us with material aid goods, from time to time. Thanks so much. Also Mary Ellen arrived with a baby cradle. It was so nice of her too. We are blessed with many people who help us to exist, by their generous donations, of money, help, time & prayers. Thanks to ALL of you for making the Focus Center what it is, in saving lives & changing lives. God bless you!! After they had left I started to set up on the sidewalk with John's help, he had been with me earlier at the protest at the Rochester Convention Center where 5 of us protested the abortionist at Planned Parenthood Rachael Phelps, who was being honored by the Rochester Business Journal for 'Forty under 40' achievement award. Do you believe it!!! An abortionist being honored with her achievements in killing children? I let the people know very loudly, as they were walking through the garage tunnel, what she did over at Planned Parenthood, as an abortionist. I held a sign that read: DR. RACHAEL PHELPS-ABORTIONIST & PEDIATRICIAN. WHY??? Also, PLANNED PARENTHOOD KILLS BABIES. Colleen let Mayor Duffy know what Phelps did over at Planned Parenthood too when he was walking in the main door. HER SIGN HAD DRIPPING RED COLORED INK UNDER HER NAME. He seemed surprised at the notion that she was there receiving an award. Oh yeah, Mr. Mayor, no wonder there is so much violence here in Rochester, please put 2 in 2 together. John, Donna, Mary S. & I were there on the frontlines witnessing the Truth to people. I was in the center ready to go out on the street when the doorbell rang, it was a man & a woman needing baby clothes. I stayed with them in the Material Aid room for them to pick out some clothes for their baby. They were blessed & thanked me for the items. I was glad that we were able to help. After they had left I was just about to go out to the front lines to be with the team when the doorbell rang. It was a young girl needing a pregnancy test. I gave her the test & counseled her I went out side. I was there for a short time when a young couple came up the sidewalk. I offered them help. She said that she was going into Planned Parenthood for an appointment. I told them what they do in there & they walked into the building. My heart sank. A few minutes later they walked out & came passed us on the sidewalk. I offered then help once more. I told them that we had a pregnancy center 2 doors down & started walking with them down the sidewalk. As we walked I asked them some questions only to find out that the young girl was pregnant & needed our help after all. I brought them into the center to talk with them. A few minutes I was calling our doctor that we use for our clients to make an appointment. After I spoke with the medical secretary I handed the phone to our client to make an appointment. Our doctor's father had just died so he was out of town so they had to make the appointment in the first week in December. After that I gave our client a number to call to get set up for insurance. I gave her a Truth packet & a DVD on Growth & Development, in the womb along with our brochure with my name & contact information. Later this client was followed up by our Thursday counselor Suzanne where she gave her more information that could help her in her pregnancy. Also the number for Compass Care to make an appointment for an ultrasound. While our client was on the phone I brought her boyfriend to see our Material Aid room & said to him that once you know the sex of your baby them please comeback to receive some baby clothes & items for him or her. Then we went back into the counseling room where our client was off the phone. I showed her some pictures & talked with her for a little while, her boyfriend said nothing to me but just listened. After everything was completed & wished them well & told them to call me at anytime for assistance. Then all of a sudden the young man reached out his hand to shake my hand. I almost cried. It meant so much to me and he said so much to me by this gesture. I then said that you are doing the right thing. They smiled at me & left. I felt so good after this encounter with these 2 fine people who cared about their baby. Refreshing. As I was leaving to go out tot the front lines the doorbell rang. I went to the door & a young woman said that she need a pregnancy test, she seemed very excitable. She took the test & I counseled her & gave her some literature. I told her to call me at any time if she need anymore help & gave her our brochure. She left & I went back to the front lines after eating a quick sandwich. I got back outside to see that John & Donna were there. Mary S. had to go back to work. We handed out Rosaries to the people on the sidewalk & spoke to the victims going in & out of Planned Parenthood. Rachael Phelps's car was not in the parking lot but they get a substitute abortionist when she's not there. I have the attitude that everyone driving into the Planned Parenthood's parking lot, that has 2 or more people in the car, are going for an abortion. I usually say " If you are hear for an abortion we can help you to choose life". I say other things too of course usually that the baby has a heart beat at 18 days after conception & that abortion is not good for the mother too. We only hope & pray that, through the grace of God, she will change her mind & leave this place with her baby right where he or she should be. A few minutes later 2 young girls came out of Planned Parenthood & walked passed us on the sidewalk. I asked if she needed any help & that we give out 'free pregnancy tests'. They both said "yes". I walked them into the Focus Center for the tests. After they were done I counseled them individually. They filled out a face sheet & when I noticed that one of the girls had had an abortion in the past I counseled her with Post Abortion counseling. I gave her a lot of information & phone numbers to contact for further help. It is so sad that after Planned Parenthood has killed their child they go back to them again. I don't understand any of this madness. 'There by the grace of God go I.' They both left after the one girl went to the Material Aid room to get some baby clothes for her baby at home. They left & I went back out to the frontlines. Martha I need you!!! I know that she had to be where she was. I pray for a Tuesday afternoon counselor ASAP Lord. Thank you. I went back outside & Donna left a little while later. John & I stayed out in the rain until about 4:30pm & went into the center to dry off the signs & put everything away. I had brought some lunch so we had a late lunch together. He is a very interesting young man that the Lord has blessed us with. I did some work in the Material Aid room by making up some Truth packets & putting some baby clothes away. We left around 8:30pm.
Wednesday Nov. 18, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood
I arrived at the center around 4pm to let Becki & Amber into the center to continue their work on the computer. I am always so happy to see them. They went right to work. Tucker came in not to much later. He said that he wasn't feeling to well & needed to go back home. We spoke about the new center & what needs to be done to present to the zoning board. I gave him a rough sketch of how I wanted the inside of the new center to look like. He said that he would get the measurements & then take it to the Zoning Board where he will present it to them for a permit so that we can get started to fix up the garage for the new center. He left & Martha wasn't there yet so I went back inside to get Amber to come help me get the boxes of clothes that I had in my car & put it into the Material Aid room to put away. When we were outside Mike drove up, with the bags of cloths, that he promised to bring to the center. We spoke with him for about 15 minutes. He said later that he was impressed with Amber & her great values that she had. She is the oldest of 10 children & wants a big family herself. She had mentioned that years ago just before Christmas there was a house fire & thanks God that everyone got out all right but they lost everything except the Bibles that were not damaged in the inside cover. God's word was preserved from the flames of the fire. Praise God!! She said that she helped to raise most of her sings & that sex is reserved until marriage. Can she be cloned!! Mike left & I thanked him & Carla for the clothes. His lovely wife just had baby # 5 & was at home recuperating from the C-Section. We said "good bye" & he left. As we were going back into the center Martha had arrived. I asked her if she wanted to go out on the frontlines & she said that she did, so off we go with our signs & literature container to witness & to pray in front of Planned Parenthood. I told the girls that we were going out & if they needed anything please come & get us. They said "okay". Martha & I set up & started to pray. Many cars drove by & mostly gave us a good honk. But I spoke to soon for the clients coming out of Planned Parenthood the opposite was happening. We were getting the middle finger at least 3 times by some lively ladies that don't know a thing about 'respect'. Then the rape counselors were coming in & I said something that made me give the mega a phone to Martha for awhile. It just makes me so ticked that Planned Parenthood has rape counseling at an abortion mill & they don't report statuary rape & they get away with it in this city. It's like the police department is afraid of Planned Parenthood. Go figure!!! We handed out Rosaries & spoke with a person who stopped their car to get some of our information, which was good. Martha brought a young girl into the center to get some baby clothes while I stayed outside on the sidewalk. After she came back a truck pulled up & parked across the street. It was Dan. He came over & we talked for awhile. He took some signs & brought them back to his car to witness to the cars passing by. It started to rain but we stayed outside for a while longer then went in around 6pm. The girls, from Elim Bible Institute, leave at that time & I thanked them for all their hard work & they told me that they would be back the Wednesday after Thanksgiving. Okay girls, I'll see you then. Dan, Martha, Elaine was there too & I talked for awhile & when Dan & Elaine had left Martha & I discovered that we didn't have any food with us for our supper. We decided to order a take out at the restaurant next door- big mistake. The chicken legs I guess, for they were very short, were in a pool of grease & had no flavor for curried chicken & the 2 side dishes were very small portions for 2 people & the bread was spongy, I guess it was the bread of their culture but not to our likening. We were very disappointed & probably will never eat there again. Sorry David Gantt. I say that because he eats over there all the time. Maybe the restaurant was having a bad evening, I don't mean to judge it to harshly, we are neighbors & need to stick together. After supper Martha & I worked in the Material Aid room for the next 2 hours. Martha left still hungry. Sorry Martha, next time we will bring our own food, for two.
Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood The team turned out today to be just John & myself & thank God, Suzanne in the center, counseling. Martha could not be there & our Bill was sick & as for Jerry, one never knows. We did the best that we could do with God's help, of course.
It was a very rainy day so I made sure that I dressed for the weather. John & I spoke with many people that the good Lord rough our way. One gentleman, who is a Christian, comes by every Thursday from somewhere the neighborhood, with a container in hand. He stopped to talk with us for about 15 minutes, very interesting man with the same values as John & I, though he wasn't Catholic he was witnessed, by John, in a very beautiful way. Maybe he will be converted. The girls were rough coming out of Planned Parenthood, sorry to say, were probably Post Abortive. I wish that we could reach them, before they do this horrible crime, against their child. Their lives are never the same again. There were 2 Death Escorts there manning the door. I get ticked off at them for they provide false compassion, to the girls, as they lead their babies to their deaths. Melissa, the post abortive young girl that was witnessed to by one of the pro lifers, at the March in February, has NOT been back, as an Escort, since after the 2nd. March this year, about 6 weeks ago. Hopefully she has been converted & will NEVER be back again. I hope & pray that she will get healing.
A familiar face was walking down the sidewalk. A sweet girl that I assisted awhile ago when she came into the center for baby clothes & formula. I said 'how are you & your baby doing". She replied back that the baby was getting bigger, for he was born prematurely. She then asked for a pregnancy test, so I said that there was a counselor in the center that could take care of her. She walked over to the Focus Center after I had said "good- bye" to her. Suzanne assisted her in what she & her baby needed.
John & I stayed out on the frontlines until about 5:00pm. We went into the center & had some supper. I brought enough food for two people, no one left hungry tonight. Then my cell phone rang & it was my dear sweet nephew Sammy. "Hi Aunt Mi Mi, can you come over tonight". Oh yea sweet boy. I'll be over around 7pm. I was so happy to hear his voice. Around 5:30pm Janet' & Bill came for our Bible Study Classes. I said that I needed to dry off the signs & put everything away & then I would join them before I had to leave. John blessed Janet' & Bill & also me with his wisdom. He is such a blessing to the team & I thank God for him. He is such a great addition to the team & so is Donna & Carol, our new recruits from the '40 Days for Life" Campaign. Thank you Lord!
Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood I arrived at the center right after the noon Mass downtown. I saw a young girl walking down the street & I called over to her that we are a pregnancy center &if she needed any help we could help her. She hollered back to me saying "I'm going to keep my baby". I said if you need anything come over to the center & we can give some baby clothes to you. She said "okay" & walked down Gibbs St. probably for the bus. I was walking back to the center when Pat had gotten out of her car & approached me. We talked for a few minutes & then I said lets go inside. We continued to talk & I showed her around the center & the material aid room. She said I'm going to give you this as I had promised. I opened up the envelope & saw 8 $25.00 Tops certificates for our clients to be used when necessary for them. My mouth drooped & I thanked her for her generosity. Pat & I met last year during the '40 Days for Life' campaign. We both got into her car & drove up Main St. to find a girl that we had already spoken to in regards to her girlfriend wanting an abortion. I had some more information that I wanted to give her to give to her girlfriend. Pat remembered that the young girl was holding a pink purse. Yea, still try to find someone in the crowd even with a pink purse but with a prayer to St. Anthony we did. Pat spotted her & I ran out of the car to approach the girl to give her the packet of information for her girlfriend. She said that she would give it to her & said "thank you". I mentioned, for her & her friend to come to the center at anytime for assistance. She smiled & ran to her bus. Thank you Lord up above. Just then Mary S. came in to get the signs & literature container to take to the front lines. I invited Pat to come & pray with us & she said that she could for a little while for she had many errands to do. I was heading out with them when the doorbell rang. There at the door were 3 young women & 1 young man. I asked if I could help them & one of the woman said that she was here yesterday getting clothes for her baby & now have brought her pregnant girlfriend, who has 1 year old twin girls who & another 3 month old girl & is pregnant with her 4th. girl, to get some things for her children. A young girl, who was with them, spoke such truth when she said "I don't know how anyone could a little baby"! She had her head on straight, thank God. She looked at the graphic pictures & took some more information, for a pro lifer gave them a Truth packet yesterday, while he was out on the sidewalk counseling. Crystal, who is the counselor on Mondays, who is pregnant & due in January, was there in the center orientating her friend to take her place, so was Melody who works in the Material Aid room, they assisted them to get some baby things. The young man took a basketball for his son & they gathered 4 bags full of baby clothes, formula, diapers, books, blankets, stuffed animals & food from our food shelves. They were all very happy. I said that they could come back a second time when they needed to. They said "good bye" & left.
I then gathered up some more signs & went out onto the sidewalk to join the others. When I got there Mary S. said "did you bring the mega phone, for this lady who drove in keeps hollering "Pro Choice, Pro Choice, Pro Choice". I said I'll go get it. When I returned to the sidewalk there she was coming out of Planned Parenthood saying the same words over & over again. I took the mega phone & started to talk to her. I said " you mean pro death because in your choice a child dies. Your choice is vanilla or chocolate, not to kill or not to kill". I then said to her, as she was still chanting & trying to get into her car, " I choose not to kill you if you say that I have a choice in that decision". My some miracle she shut right up & was quiet. I feel that the Holy Spirit spoke to her heart that made sense. I feel that she was convicted by her own words that didn't make sense any more by the power of God. Amen. She drove out of the parking lot with her mouth closed not uttering her Pro Choice mantra. I then looked around to see that Pat had gone but there was Mary S. & Donna & John came a short while later & then our dear Martha. So we had a good group on the sidewalk this afternoon. Donna had bought the ministry 200 little 10 week old babies to witness & to handout to the girls & guys. I know that the Lord has used these models as a teaching tool, thus saving lives. I said thank you for such a generous donation to the center & to the street ministry. What a blessing. I was counseling, which can be annoying at times for those who want to pray but I strongly feel that everyone, who goes into this Killing Mill needs to hear a human voice pleading to them to do the right thing, I could be wrong but like I said I have this strong feeling to offer the Truth to everyone gong into Planned Parenthood. A human cry for Truth & Justice, in this horrible place, of massacring innocent life. Donna moved down the street a little ways to say her Rosary, which is the prayer power that we need when we are out on the frontlines. Prayer & works, the Bible says. Some of the girls were coming out of Planned Parenthood flipping the bird, so I know that they probably had an abortion today or another time in their lives. Again, it's so very sad & heart breaking. I went into the center to get something & when I came back out Martha told me that a young girl had gone into Planned Parenthood to get insurance papers, or something like that. I said, Martha, when she comes out could you please bring her to the center to help her, & she said "sure". About 10 minutes later she came walking towards us. Martha brought her to the center to help her, for the young girl told Martha that she knew that she was pregnant. Martha counseled her & gave her some information to assist her further in her pregnancy. It's sad to say that she had had an abortion, in the past, & it freaks me out that the girls go back to Planned Parenthood, who killed their baby. I just don't understand!! Instead of hating them for what they did, they go back to them again. Do they ever wonder what Planned Parenthood did with their baby after they killed their son or daughter??? Abortion seems to be a matter of fact procedure & when it's over it's over. No feeling after that, that is the question. Well, thank God she is NOT going to do it again. Planned Parenthood would not see her today because she didn't have the insurance card with her. So we will help her in our center where we don't kill babies but love them & their parents. They Destroy & we Restore. Martha came back out to join us again. I asked if she wanted any clothes & she said "no, not at this time. She waiting to find out if he's having a girl or a boy then she will come back". "Okay, that's fine" I said. A car, with a middle aged man, drove into the parking lot. He got out & went into the Administrators door. I called out to him & waited. When he was at the exit he stopped his car & spoke with us. He said that he went in to ask about condoms. I gave him a Truth packet & told him that condoms don't always prevent STD's & gave him a graphic brochure on what each main STD looks like under a microscope. Then I spoke to him about morality. I asked if he was married & he said that he was, I didn't see a wedding ring but some guys don't wear them, so I went to the literature container to get him a brochure on Natural Family Planning, which he took. I said sex in marriage is to be open for new life. I'm sure he though that sex was also for pleasure, which of course it is too. He smiled & thanked us & drove away. Martha & John also witnessed to him. Donna had to go & just as she was getting into her car a young attractive red haired, curly top girl came walking briskly up the street towards John & I, for Martha was in the center. I thought that she was a friend of John's & was coming to pray with us. That was not the case at all. She introduced herself saying "I'm a Pro Choice Escort at Planned Parenthood & I just want to command you all for being out here doing what your doing in all kinds of weather. My eyes almost bugged out of my head. I said "you are"! "Oh", she said, I don't want to get you in trouble with Planned Parenthood or anything like that". I said " don't worry about that at all". She went on to ask why we were out here & I replied "it was to save lives". She mentioned how she disliked Eugenics & I said that is what Planned Parenthood does, so why aren't you with us here on the sidewalk? She said that she was an Atheists & belongs to the Unitarian/ Universialist church. This is where PP gets most of their escorts. I said that would be fine & we were Christians. She asked not to talk about God otherwise she would not be able to converse with us any longer. John & her hit a connection & he spoke to her with Truth & Love, which was powerful. I offered her the Maafia 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century & she took it then I offered her the Growth & Development DVD, with the ultrasound pictures & animated abortion procedure & 45 minutes of the testimony of former abortion clinic owner Carol Everett. Wow!! I was so happy that she took the 2 educational DVD's. Thank you Lord! We spoke to her a little while longer when Martha joined us in the sidewalk again. I reached over to give our new friend a hug & her arm went up so I thought that maybe she didn't want to hug a stranger. I said to her "I just want to give you a hug" & she said "a hug that would be great" so I gave her a hug then she ran over to John to get a hug from him & then went over to Martha to get a sweet motherly hug from her. Wow, what a surprise encounter which I have never had in all the 24 years I have sidewalk counseled. As she was leaving I told her with love in my voice that Jesus is Lord. Off she went with a smile on her pretty face. Thank you Holy Spirit!!! Amen & Amen. After we came into the center & put things away Martha, John & I sat down in the meeting room & had turkey & chicken salad sandwiches with tortilla lime chips with salsa , sour cream, & cheddar cheese with sugar cookies for desert. The only problem was that I put out the pickles. I didn't have any pickles but Martha & John did & regretted it. They had heartburn & indigestion & were in pain. What was in those pickles? I'm sure glad that I didn't have any pickles. Sorry guys. When she felt better Martha & I made up Truth packets & put baby clothes away & John worked, on the computer, creating the Focus Center 'logo'. We all left to go home around 8:45pm.
Thursday, Dec. 3, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha, John & I wolfed down Wendy's hamburgers, after Mass, before we went out to the frontlines for spiritual warfare battle. We spoke to the girls going into the killing mill, Planned Parenthood & hoped that they would go home with their baby still in their womb. The 2 worse death escorts were there today, Sylvia Rose & Barry Swan. They are very aggressive & determined to get each & everyone into Planned Parenthood to do evil. Swan came around the bushes to give me Rob's Maafia 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century DVD that he let him borrow this past Summer. John was asking him what he thought of it & I chimed in saying "go away Barry Swan, go away". I then said to John "please don't talk to him", John is new on the frontlines thus he doesn't know about this horrible person. He left to go back to his killing post in front of the death doors at Planned Parenthood. A very young girl came riding down the street on her bike. I flagged her over to us on the other side of the sidewalk to talk to her. She came over & said that she was going into Planned Parenthood for pre natal vitamins. I suggested for her to come to the center & we would call our doctor to set up an appointment for her to see a 'life giving' doctors instead of Planned Parenthood where they kill babies. Just then a woman came around the bushes & it was the woman from St. John's Religious Shoppe. She was coming by for me to see some prayer books that are related to Mothers. So much was going on at the same time then the death escort came around the bushes telling the woman that she couldn't park in their parking lot. She then saw our little girl & took her into the killing mill. The poor girl was so young she did as she was told & followed the death escort. John & I waited for 2 hours until she came out & gave her the Truth packet & a DVD of the Growth & Development of the baby in the womb & a doctors list. She took it & smiled. The death escort Sylvia Rose had gone & now this young girl could get the help that she needed by people of 'Life' not of 'Death'.
December 15, 2009 Great news!!! Little Akira has come home form the hospital. She has lost some weight but hopefully will regain it soon. She is being taking care of Pat & Arika, the mother, very well but Akira could stop breathing at any time due to her immaturity, for she was born 3 months early. We trust in the Lord that Akira will get stronger & stronger every day. Pat wants to thank everyone for all your prayers for Akira's recovery, from the last 'event' when she stopped breathing, that brought her to the hospital. Also, for your love, support & generosity for the family's needs. Please keep praying for Pat & her family. Thank you so much!
Also, another Focus Center baby was just born. Her name is London & mother & baby are doing very well. Praise God!! We are expecting more babies early next year in 2010, that were saved from abortion, through God's grace & the street ministry & the Focus center. We are in the baby & mother business. Thank you for your prayers & financial support, for us to continue our pro life work, on University Ave.
Tuesday, Dec. 29, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood
Mary S. called to say that she could not make it today for she was under the weather, not feeling well but will return to pray on the sidewalk next week. John also called saying that he was still in Bristol with his family & he also will return soon to the frontlines to pray & counsel. I was
disappointed but knew that a seasoned pro lifer was there, so there was him & I there today. We have shared the sidewalk for 14 years now, what a great pro lifer & sidewalk counselor. I always learn from him & always feel safe when he is out there. It was freezing with the cold wind blowing but God's grace was with us. A man came by us & asked for food so Rob brought him into the Material Aid Room for food from our food shelves. He left with 2 bags full & was blessed. It's a good feeling to see the joy & relief on the peoples faces. It was very traumatic when the cars just came coming into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood preparing to have their babies killed by Rachael Phelps, the abortionist there. She makes $ 130,000 a year to kill God's children & to ruin lives, at Planned Parenthood. She killed about 5
precious babies today. The sidewalk counselor spoke truth to them as they pulled into the parking lot & walked into the Killing Center. All who entered heard the truth from him. I witnessed, with the graphic sign & a precious aborted baby, to the people driving in & passing by on the street or walking down the street. The truth of what abortion looks like. These pictures are real people that were slaughtered by the abortionist by the request of their mother & perhaps the father also. I showed them all the picture as they were driving in & asked them all to choose life & that we can help them. One woman hollered to us "I'm going in here to ask questions & I'm a Christian so shut-up". Just so typical!! How sad a remark, imagine getting answers from people who kill people? She should have come to us for the truth. But no, they go to the evil ones. How sad. We won't give up telling people the truth, we just know that not everyone will listen. A couple were walking down the street & the gentleman was saying something to us like , it sounded negative but we responded with love back to him. They went into Planned Parenthood & came out not to long after. We offered them
a truth packet & they walked over to us. The counselor asked her if she wanted a pregnancy test & she responded back "yes". He said we can help you then. I said please follow me into the Focus Center for the test. They did & I assisted our client in the help that she needed. After I was finished I went back onto the frontlines to be with the other side walk counselor who said that he had given out a truth packet & talked to a young man who said that he was asked to bring a woman here & he hoped that she wasn't there for an abortion. Poor guy. I hope that she wasn't either. So many people are affected by abortion, innocent & guilty ones.
We had 2 young woman come into the center by the gentle prompting of the sidewalk counselor offering them free baby cloths. I had gone into the center to do something when they came in. One of the ladies had twin girls & the other young lady had 2 children also. They were blessed by what we had in the Material Aid Room. I asked why they were at Planned Parenthood & they told me they were there for birth control. Martha had just come in to the center & said to them about birth control & breast cancer possibility. They were shocked & I went into the counseling room to get another truth packet & more information for them to take home with them. I also gave them the Maafa: Black Genocide in the 21 st. Century DVD. They said 'thank you" & said that they were going to read the materials that they were given. They were open to the truth & to do the 'right thing'. Praise God for that.
After they had left we had a big surprise birthday party for Martha & for
our male sidewalk counselor. We had chicken, rice, Cole slaw, cranberry sauce, stuffing & a mean chocolate cake. There was 5 of us celebrating the meaning of 'birthdays' & not 'death days' like they celebrate at Planned Parenthood. We had a great time & Pat, the grandmother of 4 & great grand mother of our 2 babies that were saved from abortion. We made up a plate & she had a nice meal. We got to visit with her until she had to go home to care for her family. God bless you Pat & we love you & your family. Suzanne, our Thursday counselor, helped to clean up & Martha & I went through a big bag of clothes & toys for the Material Aid Room. Thanks you guys!!!
Tuesday, January 5, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
There we were, the 2010 team in front of Planned Parenthood. Donna, Mary S. John & myself were there to try to save lives from being killed at Planned Parenthood's Killing Mill. I was able to do some things, in the center, before going out on the front lines because of the team already being out there. It was so good to see Mary S. after 2 weeks & Donna after 1 week. All pro lifers are a blessing. We set up the signs & put the literature box out there & was ready to witness the truth to the public. As I was leaving the center to go out to the front lines a woman hollered from her car "is the center open for some baby clothes"? I said back to her "yes it is, come follow me". Two young women got out of the car & went into the Material Aid Room to get clothes & some small items for their children. They both were very happy to get clothes, books, DVD's, toys & stuffed animals for their children. I was happy for them, the smiles on their faces brought me joy. The one woman said to me "you have a nice place here". I said back to her "thank you so very much". I think that they left with 4 bags full. I gave them some candy to go on their way. I said "good bye" to them & then went to the front lines to be with the team. We called out, to the victims going into Planned Parenthood, that we could help them. We offered them literature truth packets & Rosaries. Cars honked support to us & a few nasty people drove by us, filled with guilt & shame for the things in their past. Denial is ugly & sad. If they only realized that we are the ones that could help them heal.
Mary S. had to go back to work so Donna, John & I were still on the sidewalk witnessing. Cars would drive into the Mill & cars would come back out. Thank God. One car stopped on the way out to talk to us. We gave her information & A Maafa 21 DVD & I asked if she had any children & she said "yes I have 6". I then asked her if she needed any clothes for her children & she said "yes that would be great". I asked her to follow me into the center & she drove her car into the parking lot & followed me into the Material Aid Room for clothes. We started talking as she was looking around the room. She said that she went into Planned Parenthood for 'prevention'. I then educated her to what that meant. She said that she was married so I gave her some brochures about Natural Family Planning & to call a Nurse Practitioner friend of mine Anne, to help her to learn the method. She said that she would call the next day. She said that she & her husband were going to nursing school at Nazareth. I hope & pray, that all will be blessed, with this family of God. She left thanking me & smiling, with her bags of clothes, hats & toys, for her family & more literature too. Glad to help & to serve. Donna had to go, for it was about 4PM now, so I went back to the sidewalk to be with John & we witnessed until Martha arrived at 4:30PM from her 8 hour job, to have supper, in the center, with us. We put things away, from the street, about 5 PM & went in to have a hot sausage dinner with Martha's homemade chicken soup. Dan J. arrived, with a surprise visit, just as we were finishing supper but we still had some food left over. How fortunate for you Dan the Man. We set a big Caesar salad right down in front of him & he was delighted. Some cookies for desert. Amen brother. Martha & I the did the dishes & went into the Material Aid Room to put some bags of clothes & items away & to make up some more truth packets, for the rest of the week. Thanks so much dear Martha. John, was in the office, working on the computer, making up some fliers for future use. We all left around 8PM, it was cold & snowing.
Wednesday, January 6, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood It was John, Tucker & I tonight from 4PM to 6PM. Tucker set up the signs & John was witnessing, on the sidewalk, until I put away more clothes & items, that we just received, at the center. I went out to join them around 5 PM. It was getting dark out but we were still effective, in what we were doing, on the front lines, in witnessing the truth to the people driving in & driving by & walking by us, on the sidewalk. We were discussing our future plans, for our center to move, across the street, sometime this Spring. It's been slow but sure. The process is a learning process & we trust in the Lord to guide us in this new adventure. Tucker left at 6PM as he always does. It was not busy at Planned Parenthood, thank God!
John & I stayed to do some work in the center. One project was to paint the water leak, on the ceiling, in the center. It was a messy job but needed to be done. Can't wait to move!!!!!
Thursday, January 7, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood John & I went to the front lines after the noon Mass downtown. We set everything up, on the sidewalk, & started to witness. For this is a baby killing day at Planned Parenthood. Martha came about 20 minutes later. I was walking over across the street to talk to Jeff regarding the new center when a station wagon came into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood & 4 young people got out, 3 girls & 1 boy. My heart sank, for I knew that one of them was there for an abortion. I stood across the street hollering for them not to go in & that we could help them. Martha & John were on the sidewalk, next to the trees, calling out to them too. The death escort Sylvia Rose escorted them into the Killing Mill to kill, one of the girl's precious baby. I felt sick. Just then another car came in & the same scenario came about & they were escorted by, the blood thirsty long time evil death escort, Sylvia Rose, again. My legs felt like jelly as I continued to walk over to see Jeff. I spoke to him briefly & went back over to the other side of the sidewalk, to be with Martha & John. John was continuously singing Christmas Carols & religious songs, as a witness of God's love, to try to penetrate the stony hearts of men. Just as I was turning around there was Suzanne coming to say hi to us before she went into the center to work & to call our clients to see how they were doing in their pregnancy. I was glad to see her, for she also is a God sent, to the center. A few minutes later I was thinking about going into the center for something when I saw a man walking down the sidewalk. He then said to me "are you Mary"? I said "oh yes you must be Tom, the insurance man". "Yes, he said". I said "lets walk into the center to talk". We sat down in the meeting room to discuss liability insurance for the center. He was very information & pleasant. We spoke for about half an hour & then he left. Hi dear, sweet baby!! Suzanne then told me that on of our clients had given birth on December 29th., 2009 to a 8 lb. 6 oz., 20 inches, baby boy named Aiden Ali. Mother & baby were doing well & will visit us, in the center, on January 19th.. Can't wait!! Thank God for this precious baby to be born & not aborted, last year at Planned Parenthood. I rejoiced in this great news for life!! We are also expecting some babies to be born early this year too. I went back outside to tell Martha & John the wonderful news, to which they rejoiced in.
We looked across the street, to see who was hollering at us, only to find out it was the middle age man named Jim, who just bought the first condo nearest to the corner. He was making the sign of the cross at us, many times over. I told him he was committing blasphemy & to stop, for his soul sake. He then hollered to us saying "I just spoke with Fr. O'Malley & he said that he was coming to do an Exorcism on you". I said "I'd like to meet Fr. O'Malley, he sounds Irish". Then Martha said "maybe Jim, he meant you for the Exorcism, for you live across the street from a Killing Mill". We told him to go away & as he was going into his garage, still mouthing off, & as he was walking under the closing garage door, bending down, it looked like he was about to be decapitated. How awful. What goes around come around. Though, I would not have wanted to see that horror. God is merciful! We need to pray for the crazy neighbors on University Ave. some more. After a short time passed by I saw that a young woman was hollering something to us from across the street at the Vets office. I couldn't hear her, usually in those cases I'd just ignore the person rather than go across the street by myself & have a altercation. But on this occasion & felt like I was being guided across the street to confront her, in a nice way. As I was getting closer to her I recognized her face from somewhere. As I got over to her side of the street I said to her "you look familiar". She replied angrily "I am a waitress at the ---------- Restaurant. I am trying to give her anonymity. I was surprised. She then said, "I am deeply offended at what you are doing, especially in having a man over there, he doesn't have a uterus". Like that makes him not able to stand up for life. How ridiculous ! I said "it takes a man & a woman to make a baby, not just a woman". It got worse. She said that she was gang raped & got gonorrhea & conceived. I held onto my heart, for the next sentence, which was "and I had an abortion". I knew that was coming. I said that I also was gang raped & I conceived & that I didn't have an abortion. She got real mad at me & put her finger in my face, I withdrew back from her flaming anger. I said to her that the rape wasn't her fault but that the abortion was, that it was taking a life. She then hollered back to me that she was raped again & she conceived again & had her baby daughter. To which I said "I am glad that you didn't abort your other child". I said to her "rape is horrible but taking a life is worse, at least you are walking around, your baby isn't". She then walked into the Vets office. She was so mad at me but I needed to tell her the truth for her to repent & to get help & healing. That was my mission today, for her to hear the hard truth. (Don't think I'm insensitive to the rape survivors plight, if she gets pregnant from the rape, but I do know that abortion is NOT the answer. She can get some relief after the rape, through counseling, love & support, for it is never her fault, that she was raped. But in having an abortion, a woman or girl, remains a victim to that realization, that an innocent baby was killed, for the crime of the rapist, even after God forgives her, she can't forgive herself. She can get healing & that can ease the pain but not entirely. She can never really forgive herself for the taking of a life of an innocent baby, that was conceived in that violent act against her, now she has repeated that violent act upon an innocent victim, just like herself. The rape isn't her fault but the abortion is her fault. Such guilt to bear. This makes her situation worse no matter what the general population thinks. Abortion always takes a life & it is not good for a woman nor the baby. Rape wounds the heart, emotions & psyche & sometimes the body but the victim is not dead from the rape, she is wounded, if she survives it. Rape is evil & is horrible & I do understand the horror of it as a survivor.) When she came out of the Vets office I offered her some special literature for help & healing. She refused it & drove away with her husband. I only hope that she will see, how wrong it was for her to have an abortion after the rape, & seek out help from a good person. Two wrongs do not make a right. Unless she gets out of denial, thinking that she had the right, to have an abortion, she will be tormented forever & never be at peace, which can only come through God's love & forgiveness. I pray her well & all women like her. There by the grace of God go I, perhaps. I then went back to the other side of the sidewalk to be with Martha & John & Martha told me that she was praying for me across the street especially when she saw that she was being aggressive towards me. It was a very sad story for sure. As I was standing I saw the station wagon with the young kids driving out. We spoke truth to them. I said to them "I hope that no baby was killed here today" & the young girl in the front seat looked at me with sad eyes & nodded her head 'yes'. What is in store for these 4 young kids, in the future, is mind shattering. How they will suffer. It all could have been avoided, if they only drove away, & not have gone in Planned Parenthood today. "Lord have Mercy" I told them as they drove out. My heart was aching at this point. Then after that, there were the pick ups from the drop off's 2 hours earlier. If these people think that their problem went away today, they are only now fooling themselves. Martha & John went in around 4:30 PM & I stayed out by myself until 5PM, then I went into the center, to eat supper with my friends & to be consoled.
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 in front of Planed Parenthood
John & I were on the Front Lines after Mass, to try to save lives from being killed by abortion, at Planned Parenthood. Mary S. came to pray & witness a little after 1PM. I was waiting for Donna but it turned out that she couldn't make it today. John & I spoke truth to the victims of Planned Parenthood pleading with them not to have their child killed, by abortion.
A bus passed us by & the rude bus driver was making faces at John & I around 2:45pm. I dedicated that I would call the RTS tomorrow to report him. Which I did. Lets see what happens on Thursday. A man that we have given food before from our Food Shelves, came by again & needed more food which I gave him. Also, Tonya came by to receive more food from us too. I hope that her life straightens out soon. A black woman drove out of Planned Parenthood & pulled down her window to say to me that she was 50 years old & had been raped, so shut up. I said that I was gang raped & I wouldn't ever come here to Planned Parenthood, to get counseling, where they kill people. Off she drove away. I was very sad that we, as rape survivors, were not on the same page. I still go back to the realization that abortion (taking a life) is worse than rape (ruining a life, perhaps). I feel that you can heal from a rape, which is a crime against you, & a trauma but you can get healing & live a somewhat normal life. I'm not saying that it doesn't effect you & your life because it sure does but people think that you have the right to 'kill' if you have been raped, which is a 'LIE'.
A police car drove in the parking lot of Planned Parenthood & out came 2 woman police officers & they walked into the Killing Mill. It took me a few minutes but I finally figured it out. They were there for a rape counseling workshop to speak. They were there for about an hour & when they were leaving I told them that Planned Parenthood does not report statuary rape & to check out Child Predators.com & off they went passed the graphic signs of what Planned Parenthood does to people in there. Legal smeagile, they all should be arrested for murder. What are police for, it is to arrest the criminals!! Nothing like working with the enemy. Doesn't it figure, in this liberal city. The Death Escort, Sylvia Rose was there, on a Tuesday no less. Lets see if they start to have Death Escorts on a Tuesdays or she just happened to drop in today to help to kill other peoples children. If they start to have Death Escorts, on Tuesdays, then I have to think that we pro lifers are effecting their killing business, thank God. That means that babies are being saved!! By God's grace always, that babies are saved, we are only the instruments.
It was about 4pm & Sylvia Rose, the dedicated pro deather, was leaving. Just behind her was a mini van which was making a lot of noise. It seemed to me that she had a flat tire or something. Just then a bright red 'caution cone' spitted out from beneath her car. There it was in the middle of the street. She must have seen it but keep on driving. John went into the street to retrieve it. Lets just say that we are able to use it in our leaky hallway, in the center. "Finders keepers losers weepers". Donna, was to pick me up at the center, to take me out for supper, on her Birthday, at the restaurant on Gibbs St., which has great food. Martha arrived around 4:30pm & we worked in the center for awhile until Donna came at 6:30pm. Martha & John, had supper together, with a chicken supper that Martha had brought.
Wednesday, January 13, in front of Planned Parenthood When I arrived I had to go to the restaurant across the street to pick up my jacket that I left there the evening before. Donna took me out on her Birthday. We got talking to one of the people there & she told us her story, very intense. Today when I went over to get my jacket I though that I would educate her with our literature so I put about 6 or 7 brochures in the envelop to educate her. When I went over she gave me my jacket & I gave her my envelop without a word. It was so natural. I hope that she will be enlightened by the information. If she has any questions she knows where I am. Best to you dear girl. Tucker & John were setting up on the street so when I finally arrived on the sidewalk John told me that he gave away 2 packets & 2 Maafa 21 DVD's. Great job! I stood on the sidewalk for a very short time when a sweet young girl came around the bushes. She walked slowly pass me when I asked if she needed anything like a free pregnancy test. She said that she just found out that she was pregnant so I asked her to follow mw into the center to talk. She followed me in said that she also had a baby daughter who was 1 year old. So I said for her to take some clothes for her daughter, which she did. She said that Planned Parenthood did an abortion on her less then a year ago & then she began to cry. I gave her many names & numbers to call for help. I called Sandi at Embracing Options, which deals with post abortion counseling called PACE. She will call our client back soon to start the healing process. She also told me that the abortion was a 2 day procedure starting with taking a pill on Tuesday & aborting on Wednesday. She said that they used a needle then she heard a vacuum & saw blood. She kept on crying. She said that her mother made her do it. I said not this time, we will talk to your mother if you want us to & let her see this DVD about Growth & Development, of a baby in the womb, that will change her mind along with the grace of God. She said that she would watch it. I gave her names & numbers of 3 doctors that she could call, that could help her with prenatal care. She said that she would tomorrow. We then went into the Material Aid Room again & I picked up a little blue Teddy Bear & gave it to her saying, "this is for your son, who grow up & you will be proud of him". She smiled for the first time. Yeah!!!! I gave her a big hug & said a prayer for her & her baby & off she went with baby clothes, literature & names & phone numbers, a little blue bear & a Bible, & her knowing that people cared & wanted to help her. We will keep in touch with her you can be sure, sweet girl. My heart went out to her, for she was lied to & deceived by her mother & Planned Parenthood. I gave food, to a man that was down on his luck, from our food shelves. He was very grateful. I was happy that we could bless him.
Thursday, January 14, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha called to tell me that she was sick & could not make it today. John was not available until later, & Bill left the sidewalk when I got there. I think that he got there at 12noon till 1pm instead of 1pm to 2pm. I called him later on to clear this up for next week. So I was alone on the sidewalk battling Evil, with the help of the Lord & Mother Mary & St. Michael & the Warrior Angels, with me. I prayed in tongues & Rick Bartell, who works at Planned Parenthood, was curious so he walked to the sidewalk to find out what was going on, only to see just me. They don't understand Spiritual Warfare. Cars were going in & I spoke 'life' to all of them, but they do not listen to the Truth, so they go into Planned Parenthood to have their precious child brutally killed, all because, they do not want these God given children, in their lives. They DO NOT want the responsibility in raising this child that was conceived by their sexual pleasure. Like I said to this couple who was waiting for their friend to come out & were talking to Death Escorts, that "children are killed all because of an orgasm", you want the sex but not the child, that was conceived in that activity". How selfish. As I was talking to deaf ears the doors to Planned Parenthood opened & out came 3 Black women, one in the middle, hardly able to stand up, & being held up by one woman on one side & the other woman on the other side of her. As they were driving out I told the women that you both were an accomplice to the crime & murder & to repent. The one woman just looked at me with possible remorse in her eyes. I hope so. Only God can forgive such a horrible sin as abortion. I told the couple that were talking to the Death Escorts, by the entrance, that they will never be able to get that image of those 3 women coming out of Planned Parenthood. That their minds were a camera & this image will be with them forever. Then the woman went, to the parked car, by the door, to get her baby out of the car to show the Death Escorts. My stomach almost dropped. If anyone knows me at all they would know that I hate to see people bring their children into Planned Parenthood. I said to the mom that "this is no place for your child & that if you were pregnant, with this child, & did not want your baby then the very people that you are talking to now would open the door for you to go, kill your baby, in this very building". I said that they only like kids that are born & not kids that haven't been born yet. Prejudice against the unborn they are. They just laughed & turned their car radio on loudly. I said "this must be getting to you & at least you have some reaction, which means there is 'HOPE' for you. I was witnessing on the sidewalk the Truth about abortion & along come the RTS city bus driver who gave me trouble on Tuesday, & I called to report him the next day. So, of course, I thought that they brought him in to speak to him about his stopping the bus to harass me. But I was wrong. There he is, & me being by myself, again stops the huge double bus to harass me. I said "I hope that you stop this for I will call again to report you, I don't want you to lose your job". Well, I guess he didn't hear me because about an hour later there he was again & this time he honked to get my attention only to harass me again. Oh I said to myself "I can't wait for tomorrow to make the call". I did the next day to the RTS office & asked to speak to a Supervisor, this time, no more fooling around. If anyone, who has ever called RTS, they would know that it takes forever to speak to anyone. So the Supervisor finally answered & I told her the whole story but what I didn't tell her was that if it happens again I will call the police to report him for harassment. I feel, this time, someone will speak to him. I told her that this was non professional & inexcusable for a city bus driver to do & also dangerous. She agreed. Lets see on Tuesday what happens. I also told her that I don't want him fired only talked to. What happens now is out of my hands. John was on the sidewalk now & I just had seen a woman come out of Planned Parenthood being held by 2 women after having had an abortion, so of course I was upset. Just then I heard someone say something to me & I turned around to see 3 young girls behind me. One of the girls said to me " Suzanne told us to come to ask you Mary, for some packets". I said " oh yes here you are". I also said "where you in the center"? They said "yes". I then said "is everything okay". The one girl replied "yes, I'm keeping my baby". I said "oh, I'm so very happy to hear that". I said that Suzanne will be checking in with you on Thursdays. She said "that will be fine". I asked if they were all sisters & the one girl said that one was her sister & the other girl was her close friend. I said "so you are a sisterhood", to which they smiled. Then I gave a big hug to our pregnant mom & offered her baby clothes when she finds out if she is having a boy or girl. She said "that would be great". As they were walking away I said to the new mom "I am so glad that you chose life rather than abortion, which I could hardly say the word. She said "yes, I know". They walked down the street to go to their car & I felt like the Good Lord had given me a big hug in letting me know that someone had chosen 'life' for their child. Amen!! See you girls in the near future.
We stayed until about 4pm & I thanked God that He was with me this afternoon. Also, I thanked Mother Mary & St. Michael & all the Warrior Angels, for protecting me too. Thank God for our Heavenly help, in the battle against Evil. John & I worked in the center & he helped me with the leaky ceiling problem. He did good.
Monday, January 18, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Just a reminder that we are having a siege today in light of the 6 story abortion clinic being built in Houston, TX. We will be praying from 6-7pm in front of Rochester's Planned Parenthood @ 114 University Ave. Look forward to seeing you there! Here is the you tube on the building being built @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEEvflenuZM Blessings, Crystal Poirier Jackel, Cause Creator

Brandon & Crystal Jackel citytocity.webs.com There were about 25 people, in front of Planned Parenthood tonight, with tape on their mouths, representing the voiceless victims of abortion, that are killed here & elsewhere in this country & worldwide. They stood in the cold, for 1 hour, as a witness to life. After that we all walked over to the new center to claim the property for Christ, to work a mighty work. We prayed for the conversion of the neighbors, in this apathetic neighborhood, that does nothing in stopping the mass murdering, that goes on at Planned Parenthood. Their silence is deafening. After praying, on our future site, we all went into the Focus Center, for homemade carrot cake, 3 layers, that Martha made & for Mack's coffee & my chocolate frosted brownies & lots of great conversation. It was wonferful being with pro life friends yesterday at the 'Sanctity of Life' at Bethel Christian Fellowship & tonight. The bridges are being built. The tide is turning. Praise God!!
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Mary S. handed out a literature packet to a black man who rolled down his window to receive it. She spoke to him briefly. About 20 minutes later the car came out of the parking lot & he rolled down his window & said that they had been looking at the packet of information & decided not to go in to have the abortion. I said that was great news & gave then the 2 DVD's that we hand out. I said to them "have a nice day Mom & Dad". They smiled & drove away happy. Mary S. & I hugged, we were thrilled. The next incident that happened was, before Mary S. left at 2pm to go back to work, a car with 2 women drove in & the driver told me that her daughter just found out that she was 61/2 months pregnant & they were going into planned Parenthood to some get medicine. I told them that we had free baby clothes next to the yellow building & when you come out please come over to the center. About 15 minutes later the young girl came walking over to me & then her mother. I told her mother to go get her car & follow us. We all got to the center & they picked out some baby items. They even took the breast pump. They were going to go over to the General Hospital to get an ultrasound this afternoon. The young girl told me that she thought that she was just gaining weight & did some drinking at college & Planned Parenthood told her that the baby would not be normal so she "should kill it". That's what she said to me, as I had my mouth open. I told her that Planned Parenthood was Evil. The mother said that no matter what they will care for this baby. She said that she had a 1 year old at home. Not sure if this was her baby or her grandbaby. Very nice woman & I know that she will take care of her daughter & her grandbaby. I told them to come back when they knew if the baby was a little boy or girl. I also gave them our brochure & pointed out that Compass Care does ultrasounds & STD testing & to keep away from Planned Parenthood. She said that she would. I went back outside & Mary S. had to go back to work & I was alone. I know that the Lord & Mother Mary & the Warring Angels, were with me. Be not afraid I had work to do. The next incident happened soon after Mary S. left. A woman with a darling little boy cane over to me. I said "would you like free baby clothes"? She said "yes I would". I then said we have a pregnancy center right next to this yellow building & if you could help me with these signs & literature box I will take you there. I didn't want to leave these things outside without anybody being there because somebody could come by to steal them. She was nice to help with the box & I with the signs & off we 3 went into the center. I asked her what she would be doing at Planned Parenthood & she said that she brought her cousin in for an ultrasound & that she wanted an abortion & I told her no way & now she is going to have her baby. I said "you did very well & you saved this baby's life form being killed". You are a "life saver & God bless you". I then went over to the Taxi company to get Kaylyn to help me. Her boss said that she could so I left the ladies & the cute little boy to get some baby items. Kaylyn told me to get back outside to "save lives". I told her briefly that a baby was saved earlier this afternoon. She smiled & said "that's great" & off I went back outside with the signs & literature box to set up shop once again, on the sidewalk. There were men on the roof of Planned Parenthood putting on a new roof. I said to them earlier to pray for the mother & fathers & their babies form being aborted. I told them that someone was praying for a baby had been saved. A one guy put up two of his thumbs & said to him then it must of been your prayers that God hear & answered. The supervisor gave me a hand brush & I told him not to disrespect me again. I went on & on & on to the guys on the roof. They had to listen to me, they had no where to go. Then the neighbor came out from across the street to harass me. I was going to let him start first which he did. He put his fingers on his head to make it look like horns. I said to him after that that were are not the crazy ones, we are not killing anyone but they are killing in Planned Parenthood. Now then who's the crazy ones?? He went back into his condo, which is right across the street from Planned Parenthood. Go figure!! Oh now the bus driver, who I reported twice last week, started up again. Some people never learn. This time he took his hands off the wheel to harass me. I guess I have to call the RTS again tomorrow. A car drove out of Planned Parenthood & I said something to her & offered her a Truth packet & she pulled over to the side of the street. I put my head into her car window to speak to her, she looked sad. I then said to her " have you had an abortion"? She replied "not yet", I have a child & I can't afford another". My heart dropped in my chest & then I said "you can't have your little baby be killed for financially reason nor for any reason this is a little brother or sister for your child at home". Then & asked to wait & I went over to the literature box & grabbed the 2 DVD's. The one about Growth & Development & the other was Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st Century & a little baby that was 10 weeks old. I pleaded with her not to do this & I could tell from her eyes that she will nor could not. I consider this a baby saved today. I told her that we have free baby clothes at the Focus Center & anything that she needs & a counselor on Thursdays from 1:30 to 4pm to speak to & she could also help her to receive help in the community. I gave her a brochure. She smiled & said that she would & I started to cry for I told her that I lost a sibling & it was difficult growing up without him. I feel that we connected. She smiled & drove away after I told her to call for assistance anytime of day or night. A young girl pulled into Planned Parenthood & I spoke to her & she gave me the bird. I told her not to show me her IQ & that it was a rape symbol & how discussing for a female to use that to another female & that she was degrading herself. Two young girls came out of Planned Parenthood & said "don't worry lady we're didn't have an abortion. The one girl said "I was in there to have the IUD removed". I leaned over to her & said "did you know that it can cause an early abortion". She said "yes, that's way I had it removed & I'm not going to have sex before marriage & we both are going to get Chastity Rings from our Grandma". I gave then both a big huge together which was a group hug & told them that I was proud of them & that they were our future". They smiled & walked away. A young girl was walking in & she saw the signs & came over to me. I spoke to her briefly & gave her a Truth packet. Thank God that Melody had arrived & was making packets for me to hand out. I must have handed out about 8 or 9 today. She keep me well supplied. The young girl said that she has a child, at home, & was going in there for a physical. I offered her free baby clothes & she said that when she comes out she'd come over to the center to get some. I pointed to where the center was. Off she went into the Killing Mill. A few minutes later 2 young girls came around the bushes towards me. The one girl I recognized for she was the young girl I spoke with last Wednesday, at the center. She was post abortive & has a 1 year old child at home with her & her Grandmother. Her mother made her have an abortion just last year. She is pregnant again & I called her, this past week & so did Suzanne, & I didn't hear back from her so I was worried that she went back to Planned Parenthood to have an abortion. When she saw me she said "I didn't have an abortion, I not going to do that again, I was hear for friend who was being tested for STD"S. I gave her our brochure & circled Compass Care for her to call them & not to come back her again. She said "thank you" & I gave my little girl a big hug & told her that Suzanne will be calling her again & she said that would be fine". I asked if she had spoken to Sandi from Embracing Options for post abortion healing & she said that she had. Great!! I asked if she had seen the Growth & Development DVD & she said that she had & it was very good. Yeah!! I was so glad to know that she was not going to have her precious baby killed. I was worried. I felt like my prayer was answered, by the Lord, which gave me peace of mind. Off the 2 girls went down the street very happy. Walking down the sidewalk was a young girl & a guy. They stopped to talk to me & I asked them why they were going into Planned Parenthood. She said for testing. I asked was if for STD testing & she said "yes". I took on of our brochures for the literature box & circled Compass Care for her to go to get STD testing. She smiled & thanked me & said that it was convenient now for her to go in. I asked her to hide the Truth packet, for I didn't want Planned Parenthood to take it, from her. She came out alone later on & I saw that she was wearing a cross necklace around her neck & I asked her "you must know Jesus" & she said "yes I do". I didn't preach to her but I felt that we had a connection in regards for her to do better with His help. God forgives any & all sins with a sincere heart. Off she went walking down the street. A car pulled out of the driveway with 2 young girls in the front seat. I said to them, as I showed them the graphic sign, of the aborted baby. "here are your tears, where are your tears"? The driver of the car stuck out her tongue at me & I then said to her "where is your heart". Off she drove out of the Killing Mill. So sad. There she was Marsha Peone, starting to look her age, driving into the clinic of death. I haven't seen her in a long time & of course I get hopeful that she had repented, but no. This dedicated former NOW (National Organization of Women) President was back to the Killing Mill. She was picking up another female. As she was driving out I said to her "we love you Massachusetts"!! Later on America found out that Scott Brown, a Rep. won the Senate seat. Yeah!! The 'Tide is Turning". Praise God!! Tanya came walking down the street & introuduced me to her brother & they neeeded food from our food shelves & some baby clothes for his daughter. I told them to ring the bell, at the center, & Melody would take care of them. They said "thank you" & off they went. We have been working with Tanya for many years now & hope that her life will straighten out someday. It was 5 pm so I went into the center to see & talk with Melody for a awhile before I went to the Second Hand store to see my friend & to get more baby clothes & small items, for the center. It's been awhile to go to the store to shop, which I enjoy very much & to see my friend. She leaves me bags of goodies, for the center, in my garage if I can't get over there to the store during the week, which has been pretty hard lately. The center & I were blessed once again. Thanks sweet girl.
Wednesday, January 20, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
Martha & I decided to see what was going on Wednesday afternoons. Some information came my way that Wednesday is also a Killing Day. The abortionist, Racheal Phelps was there, so we figured that she was killing little babies, today. I feel badly that I wasn't there on Wednesday's earlier, for we get there at 4PM that's too late. Hopefully Martha & I can do Wednesday afternoon too. When we got to the center we had to deal with some conflicts there first before we went out to the Front Lines. I got $20, from the Landlord, to replace the loss of literature in the counseling room due to the water leak in the ceiling. If only he'd put a new roof on, there would be no more leaks. Also, we had a discrepancy with the men's bathroom. The guys don't like it because it's too cold & there is a leak, so they use the Women's Room, which I object to. Us ladies want the Women's Room to be clean, at all times, for our clients. So I discussed this problem with the Landlord. Lots of luck to get the Men's Room water leak & heating problem fixed. I can only hope!! Martha & I was setting up outside, on the sidewalk, & I had to go back in the center to get more signs & when I came back out Martha told me that she had an experience with a young man as follows: A young guy was driving into Planned Parenthood with a young girl in the car. He stopped just before he got to the driveway & rolled down hi window to say to Martha, "can I have this sign (our graphic sign of a precious aborted baby)? Martha said "no" this is a picture of an aborted baby. Then he said " I want to put it into my bedroom, for I am a Pathologists student". Martha said "that's not going to happen". The car went into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood & then drove right out. How sick! I'm sorry that I wasn't with her when this happened, for I was gone for such a short time. God is with us.
Martha & I were standing on the sidewalk when a car was coming out of Planned Parenthood. There were 2 women in the car. The driver said to us "she is going to keep her baby & we support what you are doing". I then said to them "we have free baby clothes, in our center, which is right next to this yellow building, just follow Martha & she can help you". They did. She followed Martha, into the center, to get some baby clothes. The mom didn't know if she was going to have a little boy or girl but she got a blanket never the less. The mother-in -law, that was driving the car, said that they were coming back tomorrow to Planned Parenthood to get an ultrasound. Martha suggested that they call Compass Care instead & gave them the phone #. They said that they didn't like the feeling they got, when they went into Planned Parenthood, & now even more so because they know that they kill babies there. I hope that they will call Compass Care to get the ultrasound. When they know, if she is going to have a boy or a girl, then they can come back to get some baby clothes & small items. We will keep in touch with these 2 wonderful women. When Martha came out of the center she was trying to pray her Rosary when a young man came pass us on the sidewalk. He looked like an okay guy but looks can be deceiving. He stopped & said "can I get this sign for I want to protest down the street to support you guys". I said "no, we use these signs for our ministry to show people the Truth about abortion". I said "I can get another sign, in the center for you instead". I'm so gullible & naive'. He then turned into the devil & said "you both are crazy I was only messing with you two crazy people". I was so glad that I didn't go into the center to get him a sign for a protest & leave Martha alone with him. Thank you Lord! As he was walking away I said to him "your mother was pro life for you are born & not aborted". He replied "don't say anything about my mother" & walked down the street. Martha & I looked at each other & said "this is the second time a man has come against us". Thank you Lord for protecting us again!
I think another baby was saved today but I'm not sure. Two girls parked, in Planned Parenthood's parking lot, near where I was standing on the sidewalk & I spoke to them. Then they drove away from me in the Planned Parenthood parking lot. About 10 minutes later they left. As they were leaving I spoke to them again to offer them help. I know that they saw the signs out there & God is blessing our ministry. I know that they were killing little babies today, thank God, not hers. A car drove in with a young girl & guy. The girl got out of the car & the guy stayed in the car. Not good a scenario. I noticed that he was sitting in the car for a long time which is not good. This usually means that the girl, who went in, is going for an abortion. I then started to talk to him more seriously. He smirked at Martha & I, which gave us both the creeps. After awhile he started to give us his middle finger & when he pulled out of the driveway with the girl in the car, he really gave us the finger. I know that his conscious was starting to bother him but it was to late, his baby was dead. How very sad, that sometimes they realize what they did, after they do it when it's to late for the baby & for them. Lord have Mercy on their souls & we hope & pray that they both repent, very soon.
Two girls were walking sown the sidewalk & went into Planned Parenthood. Martha spoke to them. They came out a few minutes later & came over to us. We spoke to them & Martha brought them into the center for a pregnancy test & instruction for better behavior. Sometimes when the girls get a negative test they think that they are 'out of the woods' & go right back to the same destructive behavior until they get caught. Instead of learning they make the same mistake again. Playing 'Russian Roulette" which only makes you a 'loser'. The cycle has to change!! A young was walking up the street & I stopped her to ask if she would like some information & if she was going into Planned Parenthood. She said that she was going in for condoms & that she was engaged". I said before you get married you'll be all used up, save yourself for marriage". She waked in & came out about 10 minutes later & walked across the street. I wanted to further the conversation & told her that condoms don't really protect from all sexually transmitted diseases nor pregnancy & if you get pregnant will you come back here to have your baby killed". As she was walking she shook her head 'no'. I really hope not but she's not in that situation now, her mind might change if she is. My advice is "DON'T TAKE A CHANCE, YOU MIGHT LOOSE". Martha now was back with me on the Front Lines, for she was in the center taking care of a client. Just then a guy & a young girl came up the sidewalk & the guy looked at the graphic sign & said "heide Hitler, we're hear to scrap out some stem cells". Here we go again! This is the 3rd. crazy guy that we had to deal with this afternoon. He stayed outside the door of, Planned Parenthood, to have a cigarette & the girl went in. We tried to talk to him but after his smoke he also went into the Killing Mill. How messed up can you be. Sometimes it's so sad out there I wonder how, but only by the grace of God, could Martha & I stand it.
A gentleman, that I knew from days go by, came by to be with Martha & I. He said that he could only stay for a few minutes to give support. After a short time he said that he had to go back to work & was walking back to his parked car on the street. I said something to him & he then walked back towards Martha & I. He said that a long time ago, when he was in High School, his girlfriend came up to him & said "I'm pregnant & I don't want to be & I'm having an abortion". For years he has been suffering from that comment. He wasn't sure if she was telling him that because he was the father of her baby or someone else was. I had to tell him straight out that she was telling him that, because he was the father of the baby. Sometimes the Truth hurts but it will 'set you free'. He will never heal & be set free if he is never sure & goes round & round in this. I said to him "did you had sex with her"? He looked at me funny as if to say "well of course I did". But what I was trying to make him aware was, if you had sex with her then you could very possibly be the father of the baby that she had killed, which was your son or daughter. I gave him a Project Rachal card & hopefully he will call that number to start the journey to healing & be set free from this realization of the loss of his child, so he can grieve .

Thursday, January 21, 2010, in front of Planned Parenthood I knew that I was going to be by myself this afternoon. Maybe not if Bill shows up, which he did 20 minutes later. I knew that Suzanne would in the center at 1:30 so I should be all right. Martha was resting up to go to Washington for the 'March for Life' & John is trying to settle some things that are going on in his life, at this time. I arrived on the sidewalk & was there only for about 10 minutes when a young girl was walking down the street towards me. I asked her if she needed anything like a free pregnancy test & she said that she did. I walked her into the center thinking that Suzanne would be there in 10 minutes so I said to the young girl to relax & go into the Material Aid Room to get some things for your 2 boys, which she told me about as we walked into the center, & that Suzanne would be in to help her with the pregnancy test. I went back outside because I had left the signs & literature box on the sidewalk. Bill was across the street. I stayed for about 10 minutes & became concerned that Suzanne hadn't arrived yet. I decided to pack up & go into the center to help the client with what she needed. I walked over to Bill & told him that I was going into the center & he said that he would stay until 3pm, it was 1:30pm now. I thanked him & looked over to the 2 Death Escorts only to see the blonde give me a demonic smile through the bushes. Off I went to the center to concentrate on our young client. I found her & told her that I was going ahead with the pregnancy test. She asked to use our phone to make a call first. I gave her the phone & went to set up the pregnancy test. My cell phone rang & it was Suzanne calling to tell me that she had a fender bender at Delta Sonic up the street & will be at the center in about 15 minutes. I was glad to hear from her. The client did the pregnancy test & it was positive & was post abortive with 2 boys at home, with her mother. Lord give me the right words to say. She was affected by the past abortion & her mother would support in her decision. Thanks mom for your wishy washey mentally. Thank God that she wanted this baby. I made an appointment for her at Embracing Options for the PACE program. This is for Post Abortive women & girls to heal & reconside with the Lord. Also, I got her to call Compass Care to go for an ultrasound & STD testing, for this afternoon. Just then the doorbell rang & it was a young girl asking for a pregnancy test. I brought her into the meeting room & gave her some magazines & told her that I would be with her in a short while. I asked her if she wanted some water but she said "no". She was very nice. I went into the counseling room to be with our other client & asked her to fill out an Intake Sheet, which she did. I then said for her to go into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her 2 sons, which she did. Just then the front door opened & there was Suzanne. I gave her a hug & orientated her real fast. She went into the meeting room & assisted our new client with a pregnancy test & some counseling. After that I briefed her about our other client who was pregnant. She called her mother & told her that she was pregnant & her mother left the decision up to her, in what to do. Thanks mom. We all 3 talked for awhile & then decided to call, Compass Care, to try to get an appointment a little earlier. Suzanne called & got a 3pm appointment. She said that he would drive her over for the appointment & stay with her & then take her home. I then encouraged her to get enough things for her children & hurry to get to the appointment on time. She did. She was blessed with many nice things to take home to her sons. All is well with this mom. After they left I stayed in the center to do many things. I know that the Lord was with the victims going into Planned Parenthood & hoped all 'Chose Life'. Planned Parenthood did not look busy this afternoon. I feel strongly that the hearts of men are changing, through the grace of God!! I got a fast bite to eat & did some work in the center. Janet', who is a Social Worker & loves the Lord, came in around 4pm, for a counseling session & I was blessed by her love & support & prayers, for my healing of my past wounds. God is Great!! I got a call on my cell phone & it was my sweet nephew Sammy, asking if I could come over to see him. I said "yes" in a hurry. I left the center at 6:30 pm, to go see my sweet Sammy & his sister & their mother, my adopted sister.
Friday, January 22, 2010, in front of Planned Parenthood This is also the 37th. year of Roe v. Wade. The decision to have, little babies torn apart, in this county. I went to Mass downtown at Our Lady of Victory at 12:10pm. After that I went to Planned Parenthood & when I arrived there were people already there saying the Rosary. Israel was also there praying, I was glad to see her. I sidewalked counseled, while they prayed, which is an ideal situation. Prayer power & speaking Truth, wow! I was blessed today being with these fine people, which were from St. Leo's in Hilton. Good job Fr. Joe. After a while I noticed a woman walking down the sidewalk towards us. I stopped her to talk with her & I was glad that she was open for the Truth. She said that her cousin was in Planned Parenthood for Birth Control. Our conversation went on from there. I gave her a literature packet & the DVD of Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century. She said "thank you" for all the info. & said that she will look it over. Amen my sister. Prayer & Education are the Keys, to saving lives, for Christ & of course His grace too.
We were praying & counseling. I gave away many Truth packets this afternoon. Praise God!! Just then a fire truck drove up to th sidewalk & 2 men got out & went into Planned Parenthood. I asked the fireman if everything was all right & he said that it was. Okay so we continued to do what we do. As they were leaving, about 20 minutes later, the RG&E car came in so I figured that they had a gas leak scare, in the Killing Mill. 'Now is the acceptable time', the Bible says. Soul be ready to meet your Maker. We know that but they inside Planned Parenthood don't seem to. Pray for their conversion & repentance & to be saved, by the power of God. Two young girls were walking, down the street, on the other side of Planned Parenthood. I called over to them & they came over to us. I asked if they needed a free pregnancy test & they said that they did but first they had to go into Planned Parenthood. I asked why would you have to go in there? Off they went into Planned Parenthood. My heart dropped. I didn't want to loose these girls to the lies & corruption of Planned Parenthood. Everyone but Israel had to go. I knew that I had a 4pm appointment to see Fr. Leone who is my & the Focus Center's Spiritual Director. I then asked Our Lady of Guadeloupe to get the girls out of Planned Parenthood for me to give them a pregnancy test before I had to go to see Fr. Leone. She did. They both came out about 10 minutes later & walked over to me on the sidewalk, for Israel was in the center making up some Truth packets. I asked the girls to carry in the signs while I brought in the literature box, into the center. I gave them a pregnancy test which was negative but they were Post Abortive at 17. My heart ached for them & their babies. I gave them Sandi's number at Embracing Options for the PACE program, for help & healing. http://www.afterabortion.org/healing/index.htm & http://www.afterabortion.org/jericho/RESOURCE.htm They said that they would call & go there. Good girls. Off I went to my appointment which I was only 5 minutes late & Father understood. He is a blessed priest. Also Fr. Cushing blessed me with more DVD's for our center. It's great to have fantastic people in my life. I am blessed. Father heard my Confession & gave me the Sacrament of the Sick. Thank you Father. Doesn't this want to make you cry. Poor Baby. This is abuse. After our talk, I went to the bank to make a deposit, for the center & then went to Subway for supper. After that I was to meet the gang over at the Unitarian building, for Father said it wasn't a Church, for the pro death talk, given by the abortionist at Planned Parenthood, Rachael Phelps. When I arrived I saw Rob , who had come earlier. He helped me with the signs & as we walked to the corner of the street there were already people standing there. We were about 10 people witnessing for 'Life'. The cars came in but to my delight there were not many. A Planned Parenthood fizzle. The pro lifers said that they were going in, so I figured that there may have been more pro lifers in there than pro deathers. Yeah!! Who wants to come out, in the night, to hear a 'baby killer' speak. You have to be crazy. The pro life spies were beneficial to the cause!! There were 3 of us left, on the sidewalk, & we stayed until about 8pm, to witness. One sad incident did happen. One of the pro lifers was holding a sign which read "Women DO Regret Their Abortion" & a car, who was driving in, stopped to say "not every woman regrets her abortion" & then drove into the Unitarian parking lot. Poor lady. I hope that she repents & gets healing. She is so Post Abortive & is in denial. Cars were leaving before we left, there were about 6 cars that left before 8pm. 'The Tide is Turning'. It takes a man & a woman to make a baby!! Why don't the Pro Choicers get it!!
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood I was running late, for noon Mass downtown, like always but when I parked on Andrews I spotted a woman with a child about 6 years old. I felt lead by the Lord to engage her. I offered her a Rosary & then told her that we, at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, could give her clothes for her son, if she needed them. She said that she did. I said to her quickly, that I would be at the center at 1pm & gave her the address & told her that it was up the street, in the strip mall. I said 1:30pm would work out well for me & she said that she would see me then & off I go to Church & I wasn't even late, thank God. After Mass I headed over to the center & there she & her son were, in the parking lot by the center, she came early. She apologized but I said that it was okay & really it worked out better that she came early. I brought her & her 6 year old son into the Material Aid Room, to get some things. She & her son were blessed with many nice things. She also needed food for her & her son for they had been invicted from their home. I told her to take what she needed & to come back at another time also for more clothes & food. She said "thank you & that she would". My heart went out to her & her son.
Mary S. came right after the mother & son had left. I was glad to see Mary, for she comes on her lunch hour, on Tuesdays, to be with me to witness on the Front Lines. God bless her for her faithfulness. I told her that I was expecting a man to deliver a microwave from St. Mark's Knights of Columbus & if she could go to the Front Lines, for awhile, I will be there as soon as the man comes with the delivery. Well I didn't want her to be by herself, for very long, so I decided to go to the sidewalk to be with her. I wrote a note for the man, who was to deliver the microwave, & left it on the door & told him where I will be. He came later with a huge microwave, for the center, thank you all for the gift. We appreciate it very much!! Nasty Man!! When I came back to the sidewalk to be with Mary S. the guy on the roof,
where a bunch of guys were replacing the roof to Planned Parenthood, started to harass me. He hollered down to me to get a life & to go home. I said "keep it up & I will report you to your boss & you could lose your job". He was a smart mouth. He did something with his finger & I told him that it might drop off, for God sees it all & He protects His own. Where did this guy come from? These guys have been on the roof for a week now & I get flap from this guy now. I told him that if he had paid for an abortion, in the past, that we could help him to recover. Most people that harass us are 'Post Abortive', men & women alike. How frustrating it is for us, because they don't understand that we are the ones that can help them, to get the real help they need, in order for them to recover. How sad! As Mary S. & I, were standing on the sidewalk, a car was coming out with a baby, in a car seat, in the back & a post abortive woman in the front. She had been picked up by a guy who had just driven in. She was slumped down in the front seat & had that look in her eyes. Now this little baby in the back seat just lost his or she brother or sister. The child will find out someday & will need much healing & forgiveness. I hope that there will be forgiveness in this family that 'took a life'. What about the siblings that are suffering, with the loss of a brother or sister, who is helping them? They are hurting too.
Melody was in the center helping clients that I brought in to her to get baby clothes & food. Mary S. left at 2pm. & Maria came just as she was leaving. Great timing Lord & thank you. I knew that God was with us. Before Maria started to say the Rosary I told her that I just saw a cardinal. I couldn't believe it. I thought that this bird comes in the Springtime, he lost his family, they left Rochester without telling him. Poor birdie. Seeing this bird made me feel that the Lord was blessing our ministry. Earlier when Mary S. was with me just before she left, there were 2 boys around 9 or 10 years old who came around the bushes & looked at the graphic pictures. The one boy said "this just isn't right". We said that this place kills babies. We have to tell the truth & we felt that they could handle this info. They were young with such wisdom. I gave each of them the 10 week old baby, with the growth & development chart. They said that their Aunt was in there & then went back to there car, which was parked next to the bushes. About 25 minutes later now Maria was there, when a woman came around the bushes, & said to us "are you both Christians". We answered "yes". Then she asked "why did you tell these boys that they kill babies in there". I answered "because they do". She said "yes I know they do but to tell the boys that". I said "they came around the bushes & saw the pictures & we told them the Truth". That's what we do. I offered her a packet of literature & she said "no, that's okay". I said I have a DVD that talks about Black Genocide". She said in a hurried voice "give me all that you got". I did. I forgot to mention that during all of this going back & forth, with Mara & I, she was on her cell phone. Talk about multi tasking! There was a little girl with the woman & 2 boys who was as cute as a button & she was taking the literature from me to give to her Aunty. She waved good bye to me as they were driving away. She melted my heart.
Two women & a man, holding, a baby walked down the sidewalk on the opposite side if the sidewalk where we stand. As they were going into Planned Parenthood, I hollered over to them to come to the center for 'free baby clothes' when you come out. the one woman responded that they would. I was so glad that Melody was now in the center & when they come out she will assist them in getting baby clothes for the baby. When they came out they were directed to the center by Maria for I had to go into the center for a few minutes for a parishioner from St. Marks Church in Hilton gave us a huge microwave oven. It was from the Knights of Columbus there. Wow!! So I had to tell the man, who was delivering it, where to put it in the Meeting Room. When I was coming down the hall, in the center, I saw this family in the Material Aid Room getting clothes for their sweet baby. I asked them why they were at Planned Parenthood & she said "I wasn't in the back room I was in the front room for rape counseling". I said I will find a counseling place that you can go to instead of Planned Parenthood, & when I do I will call you. I gave her a hug & told her that it wasn't her fault & that she was not alone. I pray that she will heal by the power of God. I later Goggled : 'Christian rape counseling in Rochester, NY'. It came up with two: One was Agape Counseling, which charges on a sliding scale, which wouldn't work for her. Another was Victory Baptist Church, 32 Wildbriar Road, Rochester, NY 14623, (585) 334-8524. I later called & have an appointment on Monday afternoon. If I feel this is a good place I will refer our clients there. I will also give this information to Compass Care also. Let's hope & pray that this is our answer for our sexually abused clients that desperately need love & healing for this trauma. So much pain. They were blessed with many nice things for the baby boy. How cute!!
Maria left, about an hour later, after saying 4 Rosaries. She was such a blessing, to the sidewalk ministry today. I stayed by myself for a little while then went into the center to work with Melody. After supper we put baby clothes & items away that I was blessed with from the Second Hand Store, in East Rochester. Thank you Ana & Cathy. You guys rock. Our Material Aid Room looks so good because of you. What a blessing you are. The doorbell rang & there was Jim with 4 bags of food for our 'food shelves'. Just behind him, was our street friend Cleveland, asking for Ramon noodles. It just so happenes Cleveland, I do have Ramon noodles for you. He was so happy with creamed corn & Ramon noodles. Supper's on!!
I asked Jim to help us with the microwave to put it against the back wall instead of on the kitchenette, for it was to big. He moved it over to the table, in the meeting room, & helped us to program it, for our use. God sent us an angel at the right time. Thanks Jim!! Melody & I went home after putting more things away. Thanks Melody!
Wednesday, January 28, in front of Planned Parenthood
I got to the center a little before 4pm. I was in the center for just about 5 minutes when the doorbell rang & there was a woman looking to be blessed in the Material Aid Room. She has twins & needed more things. She went away happy with her selections, with food & baby clothes. We are glad to help. Tucker came at 4pm and we talked for a few minutes regarding the new center & he went out to the Front Lines, by himself. Sorry about that Tucker, next week John will be back & he will be with you on the street. I will be in the center with the Elim students. We have been short handed, for a few weeks, but next week all our prayerful warriors, Martha, John, Donna & Bill, will be back, on the street, defending 'life'. God is Good!! Carol will be coming back in April & M.R. will be back, when the weather gets warmer, for she suffers with Fibromyalgia, as I do & the cold really bothers her. She's been with us, on & off, for 4 years now. We miss ya!
The doorbell rang again, about 4:10pm, & there they were, the 4 Elm Bible Institute students. I welcomed them to the center. Becki was back. Her & Amber, who had to drop out of school due to financial reasons, were with me in the center for about 3 months last Fall. They were such a help to me in the center. I was sad that Amber had to drop out & that she wouldn't be back. The new girls were very happy to be working in the center, for a couple of months. I kept them very busy starting with taking out of my car, all the bags & boxes, filled with children's clothes & small items, like books & such, that I got, from the Second Hand store in East Rochester. Then & I gave them assignments & they were very busy, up to the time that they had to leave, 2 hours later. Next week I will make sure that get I get to know them better. We all gathered in a circle, holding hands & prayed before they went on their way, back to school, which is about a half an hour drive. See you young ladies next week. You blessed me tonight.
Thursday, January 28, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
I knew that it was going to be only me, on the front lines, which is not good. The Lord provided Paul for me. I asked him at the Mass at noon at Our Lady of Victory. He said that he was going to Wendy's first then her would come to the sidewalk to pray. When I arrived to the center there was the lady who was with her son that I meet on the sidewalk by the church. She said "I'm back & I have a stroller this time". That was just fine with me. She received what she needed & was so happy. Just then Suzanne, the counselor, came in & I introduced them to each other. They sat down & talked for awhile. If we can help, we will. I went to the front lines, with 2 graphic pictures & the box of literature. I was by myself, for awhile, when Paul came on the scene with 2 hamburgers, which I ate later on. Thanks Paul. The day was very cold & snowy & windy. Not good conditions. Never the less, we handed out 6 Truth packets, to people coming out of Planned Parenthood & on the sidewalk. Yeah!! A man stopped to ask directions to the Veteran's building. It seemed that Paul knew where to tell him to go to get there. I handed out 2 packets to 2 young girls, who were walking down the sidewalk. They looked nervous after seeing the graphic pictures, I understand. A woman was hollering, like a banshee, across the street at the Vets. 'Yes to animals' & 'Yes to people', too, missy. Lets be fair! I had to ignore her, for I was busy where I was, & what I was doing, on my side of the street. I hate to say this but she was probably 'post abortive'. I wish that I could have helped her, if she only knew. It is so hard to reach these people, they won't listen. Poor Paul, his hands were frozen. I have to understand, that he wasn't prepared to come out in the freezing cold, to stand on a sidewalk for 21/2 hours. He was a trooper. He was the Prayer Warrior today. I went into the center around 3:30pm & spent time with Suzanne, who was calling our clients, to see how they were doing. I spoke with one of our clients & we are planning a Baby Shower for her with the girls from Elim Bible Institute, in March, she is due in April. We have much to plan to make it a nice party. I will email all the pro lifers, to get nice baby things, for our girl. This was a save, last year, in front of Planned Parenthood. God is Great!!
Tuesday, February 2, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
I got a call from Donna saying that she was sick & couldn't make it today but will try for next Tuesday, I sure hope so. I went to the noon Mass downtown at Our Lady of Victory & Fr. A. had a full Mass for the feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, with lighted candles & incense & music, it was beautiful. I got to the center before Mary S. arrived & I did a couple of things to get ready to out to the Front Lines. Mary S. came & we went to the sidewalk with some signs & the literature box. Then I saw the Death Escort, oh m! Now Death Escorts on a Tuesday. They must be losing business for this to happen. There was a man, with red pants on, walking across the street, & he hollered over to us saying "life begins at conception". I was floored to hear this, for this man showed such wisdom. I said that Planned Parenthood kills babies & he said "that's wrong". We agreed. I asked him to pray for Planned Parenthood. He was so refreshing. Then there were the rude guys, fixing the roof of Planned Parenthood, making comments. Mary S. & I ignored them, for some of them probably lost a child, through their girlfriends or wives abortions. How sad! One of the guys came out of the parking & he burned rubber as he left. Just tell me that he's not hurting. A woman, gave me her finger, as she was driving by, on the street. I just called out to her to repent, for her abortion. Mary S. had to leave & she felt badly for she had to go back to work. I stayed there to witness the 'horrors of abortion'. About 20 minutes later a young girl was walking down the street towards me. She said that she was there for some baby clothes. I said "you are the lady that called me for the baby clothes, if you could help me bring these things back, to the center, I will open up the Material Aid Room for you. She helped me pack up everything & off we went to the center. Her mother-in-law was there, with 2 babies. A girl & a boy. They spent about 30 minutes in the room being blessed with many nice things. The baby girl was crying so I told the mom, who was shopping, that I would feed her baby, which I did. She told me that I gave her a 10 week old plastic baby & she still has it, from last summer. She said that she was coming out of Planned Parenthood, last year, & told me that she wasn't there to have an abortion. Yeah!! Said that she will never go back to Planned Parenthood again knowing that they kill babies there. Good for you dear one. Now the other baby, that was here today, was threatened by his mother to abort him but the grandmother of this precious baby told her not to & she didn't. The grandmother is practically raising the boy because the mother doesn't come around much. The grandmother is loving towards her grandchild & is doing a great job with him. He's going to be a football player. He's a big boy & so cute.
Just as they were leaving the doorbell rang & it was John. I was surprised & thankful. I asked him if he would go out to the Front Lines & that I would be there with him in awhile. He said "yes" & he took a sign & the literature box with him. I was short with the Truth packets & had to get one from my car. It looks like the pro lifer from yesterday gave away some packets, which is great. So I made up a few more & went out to be with John, on the sidewalk. When I arrived, I noticed that the Death Escort was gone. She probably left when I left, when I went into the center, but she didn't realize that I was coming back. So now it was John & I witnessing to 'life'. Just then I saw a woman with a young toddler, coming out of Planned Parenthood. I called over to her that we had 'free' baby clothes, at our center, next to the yellow building. She was on the phone & said that she would come over in a minute. She followed me into the Material Aid Room with her young son. I got to speak to her for a few minutes, as she was getting some things for her son. She was at Planned Parenthood for the Pill & didn't like their attitude. Oh yeah!! She was married with 4 children so I gave her my friend Anne's number to call for Natural Family Planning. She said that she would call her. I hope so, for she was not impressed with Planned Parenthood. I gave her some literature about Black Genocide & the Maafa: 21 DVD. She said that she had called for a Taxi & that she needed to get back outside to see if they had arrived. As she was walking out, she noticed the Taxi Company that has an office, in the same place that we have our center. She asked if they could take her home. I went back into the center & asked Tickabu, the owner of the Taxi service, if he could take her home & he said that he would. I gave her one of their cards & she was grateful & off she went, a happier person. As I was walking back to be with John I noticed that the Taxi cab, that she had called earlier, had arrived. I told them that she was gone & they asked if I was sure & I said "yes, I'm sure that she was gone". They went into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood to turn around & when they were leaving John offered them, for there were 2 men in the front seat, some information. They replied that they would & John gave them a Truth packet. He then offered then the Maafa 21 DVD & when he went to look for one, in the literature box, he found none. I said to them to wait & I'll go & get one for them. They said "okay" & off I go back to the center to get the DVD. When I returned to the sidewalk John was talking to them & I handed the man, on the passenger side, the DVD & he thanked me & off they went, better educated.
I realized that we again had no more Truth packets so I told John that I was going back to the center to make up another. We must have given away about 7 packets out this afternoon. Praise God!! Just as I was coming back to the sidewalk there was Martha coming towards the center. I greeted her, for she has been sick & I haven't seen her in a weeks time, way to long. Glad that she was feeling better now. She asked me if I wanted some coffee & said that coffee doesn't like me but I'll go over to Mack's to get her a cup. She was grateful. I went over to Mack's store, next to our center, & he made up a fresh cup of coffee, for our dear Martha. I got to talk to him & he said that he would come to my place to help me do some work in my basement. He said that he was now closing at 5:30pm every day instead of 7:30pm, to work in a cleaning business in Brighton, cleaning offices. He has 2 full time employees for his business. He said that he was looking a part time person so I recommended John to him. They will connect soon to talk about this. I thanked him for the fresh coffee that he just made Martha & off I go back to the sidewalk to give Martha her hot coffee. She said thank you & then took a sip & said "is there sugar in it". I said "yes, do you want me to get you more sugar"? She said "no". Okay Miss Martha. When I was in the store getting her coffee & talking to Mack she said that she had talked to a nice young gentleman who stopped to talk to her & John, on the sidewalk. He took the last packet & was blessed with the information. Earlier I gave a packet to 2 guys walking down the street & Rosaries & the Maafa 21 DVD, I guess I need to call Father for more DVD's. We are blessed that Fr. burns all our hand out DVD's for out Ministry. Thank you Father for your generosity. Just then a car pulled up along the sidewalk & parked by Buckpit & a woman got out. The woman walked towards us, Martha, John & I, who were on the sidewalk. I then recognized her. She was the lady who stopped at the protest, at the Unitarian Church on January 22nd., to talk to a fellow prolifer & myself. We gave her some information & my phone number & she said that she wanted to protest Planned Parenthood when she could. We said that would be great. There she was today, what a surprise. She meet Martha & John & I then brought her into the center to show her around. Martha & John came in about 10 minutes later. John had to go & Martha & I spent about an hour talking to her. She said that she will be back tomorrow at 1PM to protest outside & to help out, inside the center, when needed. Praise God for His answer to prayer for more people to be with us on the Front Lines. After she left Martha & I had supper & then made up packets & put baby clothes & items away in the Material Aid Room. We left tired but blessed with all the new items that we just received, to give to those who are in need. Thank you Lord for the blessing, that we are blessed with, to bless others with.
Wednesday, February 3, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Anne & Michelle & little Mary, who is 3 years old, came over to the center, after the noon Mass downtown, to help out in the Material Aid Room, sorting out baby clothes. They were a God sent. Valerie, our new person, came with Martha & I out on the sidewalk. We were on the Front Lines when Martha turned around to see a young girl, coming towards us. Martha asked if she needed a pregnancy test & she said that she did. I asked if Martha if she would go into the center to give her a pregnancy test then I asked Valerie to go with her to be orientated. Off they go to the center. I stayed outside & was alone, on the sidewalk, to sidewalk counsel. A car came in with 2 young girls & the male driver. I spoke to them as they were going into Planned Parenthood & the guy put up his thumb indicating that he agreed with me. They came out about 15 minutes later & they stopped along the side of the street to speak to me. I gave them a Truth packet & 2 DVD's. One was the Growth & Development of the baby in the womb & the other was Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st Century. Then the young girl on the passenger side said to me " I didn't do it, for my mother said that Planned Parenthood targets the Black Race. I said "yes they do". Then she said "I need a pregnancy test". I said "please follow me to the Focus Pregnancy Center, next to the yellow building. They did. I showed them where to go & they rang the doorbell & Valerie answered the door to let them in. I was relieved. I then went back to the sidewalk. As I was walking to the center a young woman was walking up the sidewalk & I handed her a Truth packet. I felt badly, that I couldn't speak to her, for I was leading the 3 young people, to the center, for help. God is in control. I went back again on the Front Lines, by myself, for Valerie was with Martha helping her in the center. This was the first day for Valerie & she said later on that she was 'Baptized in Fire'. She adapted so well & so fast. Someone was hollering at me, as they passed by me, in their car, but I was busy so I ignored them. Then I saw that Anne, who helped in the center today, & she was saying 'good bye to me". I thanked her & said "good bye to her' & off she went. After some time I noticed that there was 2 girls walking up the street. I said to them "you're not going into Planned Parenthood, are you"? They said "yes, we are". I said "do you need a pregnancy test"? The one girl said that she did so I lead them into the center. They rang the doorbell & Valerie answered the door. I was relieved & went back to the front lines to witness some more. I was here for about 15 minutes when a young girl & guy came out of Planned Parenthood & walked passed me. I offered them a literature packet & they stopped to take it & also the Maafa DVD. I said "thank you" & I was happy that they stopped. A young guy & girl drove in & the guy dropped off the girl & she went into the Killing Mill. About 2 hours later he picked her up. She was there for birth control, she said & I told her it was an abortificant, which takes the life of the baby earlier on. I told him to stop using her & to marry her. He sped away. Most guys just want the sex & not the marriage & the girls put up with it. Girls got to do better. The power is in "NO" not in "YES" there's where you lose your power. Two young girls were walking up the street & I stopped them to ask them if they needed a pregnancy test. The one girl said that she did, so I lead them to the Focus Center. They rang the doorbell & Valerie answered the door & the 2 girls went in. I went back to the sidewalk. I knew that they were in good hands with Martha & Valerie.
About 30 minutes later the 2 girls were walking up the street again towards me . I said to them "where are you going , I hope not to Planned Parenthood"? The one girl said "yes, I want to see how far long I am". I said "we'll call Compass Care & you can make an appointment for a repeat pregnancy test & an ultrasound". I gave her the number & she called to make a 3pm appointment. It was now 2:40pm so I said "I'll pay for a taxi for you to get to your appointment to be on time". I asked the taxi company that have an office next to ours if he could take her to Compass Care & back home. He said that he would & off they go. When I went back into the center Martha told me that she was negative bit Planned Parenthood told her that she was positive so she was confused. She ended up at Embracing Options for care. Planned Parenthood sometimes gives a 'positive reading' to sell an abortion. The girls are so venerable.
Valerie was with me now. She had left Martha in the center with the first client that went in. The girl had called her boyfriend & her girlfriend, to come to be with her. Her girlfriend had a pregnancy test too. Her & her boyfriend gathered up some baby clothes for their 1 year old. They took 3 bags full. I'm sure glad that we are blessed to bless others. I had picked up, bags of blankets, from the DayStar Nursery, earlier on, before I arrived to the front lines. What a blessing it was for our clients to get beautiful blankets & crib items, in the Material Aid Room. Thank you so much for the donation, DayStar, I love to see the smiles, on the faces, of our clients.
Just then I saw that the young woman, that I didn't have time to talk with earlier, but gave her a packet of information, as I was leading the 3 other clients to the center. There she was again & I felt that now & had some time to talk with her. I asked her if she still had the packet of information & she said that she did. Then Valerie asked her if she was pregnant. She replied "I wish that you didn't ask that, & was twisting her body". I then said "you are pregnant aren't you". She answered "yes". I said that great & she said that she had 2 children at home. I then said "you have a brother or sister for your children at home". I said that we had free baby clothes in the center & to follow me there to receive them, she did. She was blessed with many nice things for her children & I asked the taxi company to take her home & we would pay for it. She was very grateful for the taxi cab ride home with bags of things for her children. I said "they are going to think that Christmas came early", she smiled. I gave her a hug as she went into the taxi & then I said that if she needed anything else please give me a call. I gave her a brochure, of the center, with my phone # & email address on it. She smiled & said "thank you". I hope & pray the very best for her & her baby that she is carrying. I then went back into the center.
It was about 4pm now & I was expecting the 4 Elim Bible Institute girls to come, to help me out for 2 hours. Before they arrived Martha, Valerie & I reviewed the afternoon together. The girls came & I greeted them & introduced them to Martha & Valerie. I asked them to help me get the bags & boxes out of my car, for the Second Hand store that we are blessed by, to furnish our center with wonderful baby clothes, toys, books, stuffed animals & small items. Tucker was late today, he arrived about 20 minutes late. Valerie went back out to the front lines & she was by herself, so I asked the Elim girls, to be with her until Tucker came. She sent 2 girls back, into the center, because they were not dressed properly to be out in cold weather. When they came in I asked them if they could work in the Material Aid Room for awhile, sorting out baby clothes. Just then Tucker arrived & he went out to the front lines to meet Valerie & to be with her for awhile. The other 2 Elim girls came back into the center. Just then the doorbell rang it was our client who chose life last year instead of abortion, she came with her pregnant girlfriend. Becki, our Elim girl, who had bonded with our client, last December, when she came in to show us her ultrasound pictures. She hugged her & so did I. I introduced the 2 girls to the Elim girls & to Martha. Later on I introduced them to Valerie & Tucker. We are planning a 'Baby Shower' for them on March 17th. for one of the girls is due in early April. We were so excited in seeing them & the planning of the party. Later on, after some hot chocolate & cookies, the Elim girls had to leave. I invited our clients to go to the Material Aid Room to get some baby clothes for their sons. After awhile, for it was getting late & darker, I became concerned that it would not be a good idea for them to take the bus home, so I asked Martha if we could take them home. She agreed & we did.
We ended up in Irondequoit, so I asked Martha if she could stop at St. Cecilia's Rectory, to pick up the DVD's of Maafa: 21 & the Growth & Development of the baby in the womb. After Father answered the door & blessed the center with many DVD's, Martha & I went to St. Cecilia's Church, which is open 24 hours a day, to say thank you to the Lord for a fruitful day. After our visit, we went back to the center, to do some more work & eat some supper. Glory to God!!
Thursday, February 4, 2010, in front of Planned Parenthood I arrived after the noon Mass downtown & was hoping to see Martha there at the center when I got there but to no avail she was not there. I did a couple of things before I braved the Death Mill, by myself. Thank God that Suzanne arrived early today. She came a little after 1 instead at 1:30pm. I was so happy. We reviewed some things together before I realized that Martha wasn't coming & I will be by myself out on the front lines. It was close to 1:30pm & I went out with the Literature Box & 2 graphic signs to witness & to educate & to pray, for the saving of the lives of God's children, from being chopped up in little pieces & thrown away. Lord have Mercy on us!! As I was walking outside I saw Bill. Oh my! I forgot that Bill comes on Thursdays. He wasn't there last week so 'out of sight, out of mind'. I was glad to see him & I waved to him. He can't hear very well, so I don't speak to him very much, from across the street, where he stands with a sign. I just knew that it was better to have 2 people there instead of 1. I wasn't there for very long when this incident happened. My back was turned towards the bushes, for I was looking for something in the literature box, when all of a sudden I felt an evil presence behind me. A car had stopped, in the street, & he hollered something that is not worth repeating here. I did not turn around to give him any satisfaction & prayed that he would continue his trip up the street & not get out of his vehicle & bash my face in. Thank you Lord for protecting me. That's why it's really best to have 2 or more pro lifers, on the same side of the street, praying & witnessing. You are less of a target then. He saw one female, doing God's work, & was miffed. He probably was a post abortive father. He is suffering with a great deal of pain. Just then the ADC Supply Company truck came out of Planned Parenthood. They worked, putting on a new roof at Planned Parenthood, for the last 3 weeks. I will look them up on Google & send them some vital information regarding Planned Parenthood, where they received innocent blood $, from these evil doers. A young woman, with a toddler dressed in pink, was walking down the sidewalk on the other side of the driveway of Planned Parenthood. I called to her & we could help her but she & her precious child went into Planned Parenthood. I was only hoping that the Death Escorts, one being Barry Swan, would not get to her or anyone else. She came out about an half an hour later & I hollered to her saying "we have free baby clothes in the building next to the yellow building so please come & get some for your child". She started to walk over to me saying "oh that would be nice to get some free clothes". I was leading her to the center & told her to just ring the doorbell & a nice woman named Suzanne will come to the door to assist you, just if you please sign in first. She smiled at me & said that she would. I was so happy that Suzanne was there today. I was still by myself, when another nasty guy drove passed me, & called me a 'fascist'. What's next? I'm an American, trying to save Americans, from being slathered, at Planned Parenthood. Why not call us, who are out there, a 'good citizen'. Oh no that would not be politically correct. Two crazy men today, harassing a woman alone, on a sidewalk, chivalry is dead!! I was hoping & praying that Martha was okay for it wasn't like her to not call me ahead of time if she's not going to be there. Just then there was Martha driving down the street. I waved to her & thanking God that she was there now. Yeah!!! As I was rejoicing in seeing Martha the lady with the toddler was coming out of the center with a bag of clothes & her precious daughter was holding a cute stuffed animal. I wish that I had a camera. Martha spotted her with her child & offered her a ride home. She put the toddler in her car seat that she has in the car for her grandchildren & off they went, up the street. I then saw someone up the street getting a ticket so I used my megaphone to inform Bill to move his car, for he was parked in a 'No Parking' Zone. He hurried as fast as an 80 year old man could & packed up his things & drove away before getting a $35 ticket. I wish that he would pick another spot to park but you don't tell Bill what to do, he doesn't listen. Love ya Bill. Celebrating 14 years of fighting with Bill, on the front lines. Some said that it wouldn't last, how wrong you were. Martha came back, after dropping mother & child home on Main St. & told me that she lived in a dump. She was pregnant, which I didn't know as I walked her into the center for clothes earlier. I went into the center to tell Suzanne & she called, the client, to make an appointment for a pregnancy retest, on Tuesday. She said that she will come back to get another test at the Focus Center. When I was in the center to talk with Suzanne I was introduced to a friendly woman who was with her friend who was at the Account's office. Suzanne had spoken to her & she introduced her to me. We walked out together for Martha was alone. I introduced her to Martha & she said that she loved 'life' & wanted to help out on the sidewalk here to witness. I said that would be great & I hope that I can get you to counsel also in the center. Then a car drove in & I became to call out to the people in the car that we can help them. She then seemed to realize that something was going on here & I said that Planned Parenthood kills babies here. Her mouth dropped open, for she didn't realize that. We tried to calm her down. Just then a bicycle rode passed us & turned around. He stopped his bike to tell us to "keep on doing what we were doing" & that he knew that Planned Parenthood kills babies. I can't help but wonder if they killed his son or daughter, in the past? He smiled at us 3 women & rode away. Then the woman who was with Martha & I told us her story: When she was 19 she got pregnant & her boyfriend told her to "go for an abortion" & that he would pay for it. She didn't know what to do so she went to her grandmother's house, who lived in Jamaica. She went into the house & told her grandmother about her situation. Her grandmother responded "no my child you will not have an abortion, we have never had abortion in this family & you will not be the first". She said that she put her arms around her grandmother & stayed with her until the baby was born then went back home to be with her mother. She then said that her son went back to Jamaica to be a pallbearer, at his great grandmother's funeral, for it was because of her that he was born. I cried. We gave her a hug & she said that she will be back, on the sidewalk soon, to be with us to witness to 'life'.
Today I saw at least 4 women coming out of Planned Parenthood , who had just had their innocent babies be killed. It's so hard to process this horror. Earlier I was walking out of the center & saw a car pull out of Planned Parenthood, so as I was walking up the sidewalk I hollered to the car "they kill babies in there". The guy driving the car put up his thumb & I then walked over to Martha. When I got to her she said that she thought that the car that just pulled out of the driveway had a woman in it that probably just had an abortion. I was sick to my stomach. The guy, who had just picked her up, is thinking that his problems are over but they just beginning. I hope that they repent. Martha & I continued to pray & to witness for awhile longer. I had to go back into the center to get more Truth packets & when I got back to the sidewalk Martha told me what just had happened. She said that a woman came around the bushes & said to Martha that she just had an abortion. Martha was taken back at this information & said to her "how do you feel". The woman almost started to cry & said that she was 2 months pregnant, & that her 19 year old son was going to pick her up on Gibbs St.. Martha was upset but handed her a Truth packet which the woman took & off her went down the street. We were sad together. How can this be happening! We are sorry for the sins against you Lord. Please forgive us. Amen. Martha & went into the center around 4:15pm & waited for Jane't to arrive, for the group meeting, that we have on Thursday's, in the center's meeting room. After, the sharing was over, all 5 of us ate supper together.
I then went to visit a friend of mine at the 'Dance for Joy' studio, off University Ave.. I felt so grief stricken with what had happened today with all the babies that were murdered at Planned Parenthood, I could hardly focus. I did share with her that Planned Parenthood was having the Vagina Monologues Saturday, March 13, 2010
7:00 pm (doors open at 6:30)
Hochstein School of Music and Dance
50 North Plymouth Avenue
My friend has her son at the Hochstein, for music lessons. She reassured me that she will look into this. She was upset. You Go Girl!! There is no stopping Donna, when it comes to fighting against Planned Parenthood's death agenda. Once when she was at the Wegmans store on East Ave. she noticed that there wasn't any cookies for the kids at the Bakery, she has 6 kids, some are grown up but her youngest is 6 months old & Donna just turned a gorgeous 43. So she went up to the Manager & said to him that the reason there wasn't any cookies for the kids, in his store, was because of Planned Parenthood, being in the neighborhood, who does abortions. She said that he looked at her funny & walked away. So when she was at the check out, she said to the cashier "is there many kids that come to this store"? The cashier answered back "I never thought of it before but no, I don't see many kids in this store". I rest my case.
Monday & Tuesday, February 8th. & 9th. in front of Planned Parenthood Monday there were 3 guys praying & witnessing in front of Planned Parenthood. One of the pro lifers opened up the Material Aid Room for 2 clients & their families. They were blessed with many nice things to take home. Also, food from our Food Shelves was handed out for those in need. About 2 Truth packets were handed, out to receptive people, that wanted the truth & to get educated. Yeah!! Tuesday I wasn't there on the front lines due to a real bad cold, so I called in the Troops. To the rescue came Elaine, to open up the center, for Mary S., who comes for 1 hour on her lunch hour, & Donna, who has been away for 3 weeks tending to personal issues, welcome back & Melody, who comes & works in the Material Aid Room, to sort out baby clothes & to make up the Truth packets, so that we can hand them out to the people, also came to help out today. Welcome to our newest recruit Valerie, who I met at the protest of the abortionist, Rachael Phelps,( who kills babies at Planned Parenthood), on January 22nd. at the Unitarian, so called church. She stopped to talk to me & another pro lifer & said that she wanted to get involved, so I gave her my phone number & she called me last week & has now come out onto the street & the center to help out, welcome to the 'A-Team for Christ', Valerie. I talked to Elaine, at one point today, & she told me that a young girl came in for a pregnancy test, because she didn't want to go to Planned Parenthood. Elaine & her had a nice long conversation & she said that she will bring in her pregnant girl friend real soon, for some baby clothes, for she is 5 months pregnant now. Great job you guys! I guess you don't need me but I do need you!! Thank you Lord, that the street & the center, was in very good hands today, like always. God's blessings unto us who serve Him with love.
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
I have had a real bad cold this past week. Ick. I decided to go today to be with Martha because Valerie called in sick with a sore throat. Sounds familiar. I needed to bring the baby clothes that I washed & other things to the center & I didn't want Martha to be by herself. When I arrived there was Martha & Sara & Frank. He came to look at our front door that doesn't close & he said for us to let the Landlord fix it for the door really needs to be replaced. Lots of luck Frank. Sara was there to drop off some food for the 'Food Shelves', thanks so much Sara. She was nice enough to go out with Martha, on the sidewalk, to pray & to witness, on the front lines. I was to stay in the center to put things away & to wait for our client to come to get more baby items. The doorbell rang & I answered it. Sara said that Martha was asking for the peanut butter sandwiches that I made for our lunch. I went to the refrigerator to get it & some cheese & bottled water. Anything for Martha. Sara said that she needed to go after that. I said "okay & thank you". I felt badly that Martha was now by herself on the sidewalk but I needed to be in the center today. I trusted God to protect her, which He did. I put some things away in the Material Aid Room & then went into the office to do some paper work before our Elim girls come at 4pm. I decided to get the other peanut butter sandwich that I made for lunch & was eating it at the desk when I looked up to see a woman walk into the office. I was surprised for I didn't hear the doorbell ring. I said to her "can I help you". She said "I'm looking for the pregnancy center". I said "you just found it". I then said "do you need a pregnancy test"? "Yes I do" was her reply. She then said to me, which was a shocker, that Planned Parenthood won't do a pregnancy test unless you are going to terminate the pregnancy. She said that she was just over there & that's what they told her. I looked at her with such sadness & I think she felt that way too. After the test I gave her a lot of information., a brochure on Margaret Sander & the Maafa 21 DVD, to educate her. She said that she was on Yaz, birth control pill. I told her that there are many problems with that & all contraceptives. She agreed that she never felt good taking it. I referred her to Anne Olek, friend & Nurse Practitioner, who teaches Natural Family Planning. I gave her the phone number & told her to call her for assistance. She said that she would. She thanked me for the information. I asked if she had some children & she said that she had 2 children, so I guided her to the Material Aid Room, to get some children's clothes, which she did . She was grateful for all the help she received & I was happy to give her the help that she needed.
Just then Martha came in from outside & was putting the signs away, in the center. We then sat down to talk. She said that she gave away 2 Truth packets & the man down the street at the Printing Company came out of the building several times to tell Martha to be quiet. They are in bed with Planned Parenthood, for they do business there, so they have received 'Blood Money' from them. Maybe it's driving them crazy. A car drove passed Martha hollering out the window "their better off dead" to which Martha replied "you're not dead because your mother chose life for you". She really wanted to slug her. A car came out of Planned Parenthood, with a friendly driver, who was waving at Martha with his wife slumped down in the front seat, after her abortion. What a man!!!
We were talking when the doorbell rang, it was our Elim girls. Tonight we decided to have a sharing time, which we did for 2 hours. I won't expose any of their stories but only to say that I empathized with their 'life pains'. I love them & hope the very best for them. I know that God is with them & is using them in a powerful way, to help others, in life. What a gift they are to me. Thank you Lord. When it was my time, to share, I felt sick that that was my 'life'. God is a healing God. One of the girls suggested that we end the evening with prayer so we all held hands & prayed to each other. We all went around to give each a big hug good bye & off they went back to school. Martha & I then ate supper together & cleaned up. After she left I talked with the Taxi people about the Slum Lord & how he doesn't do anything, for paying such expensive rent each month. We need to pray for him to change & to fix up his leaky building, before we all get sick. Ten the owner of the Taxi business asked if I was interested in switching rooms. We get their room, to have our Material Aid Room & they get our Material Aid Room to run their business in. Sounds like a plan!!
Thursday, February 9, 2010 I was to sick today, so I will be back on February 16th. in front of Planned Parenthood & in the center. I felt so badly that I couldn't be there to call out to the mom not to have their precious baby killed. May there have been angels, all around Planned Parenthood, to change minds, through the grace of God. Suzanne, was in the center, & she received Rosaries from Bob, who made them, & she also handed out some baby clothes in the Material Aid Room, for a pregnant woman, who came to have her taxes done by Elroy, the tax man, in our hallway. So it's always productive in being pro life. Please continue to pray for the end to abortion. God bless.
Tuesday, February 16, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood People were hollering, at the printing place near Whelen St., saying "why don't you protest global warming". Planned Parenthood does business with them...
A lady told, one of the pro lifers, that 25 years ago she was thinking of having an abortion & was walking passed St. Michael's Church & was lead to go in & she spoke with Fr. Vinney who told her not to have an abortion & she has a 25 year old daughter who is a nurse now.
Three young girls came out of Planned Parenthood & one was our client. I brought them to the center & gave one of the girls a pregnancy test & spoke with her while the other 2 girls were in the Material Aid Room, picking out baby clothes, for our clients' 2 years od daughter. She is pregnant & doesn't know if she is having a boy or a girl. I asked them why were they at PP & one of the girls told me for a test. Which usually means a STD test. I told the girls NOT to go back to that awful place PP & talked with them for awhile & gave them more literature. They were happy when they left. I also gave them cany which they enjoyed. We keep in touch with our pregnant clients once a week, by Suzanne. I don't want them to go to PP, but to come to us for help.
Baby clothes were given out. Noella came back to get some more things, for her granddaughter. Also, a mom came in and got bags of clothes & toys & small items.
We handed out many Truth packets. A car that came out of PP took 3 packets & a Maafa 21 DVD to watch. Prayer & Education are the Keys to changing lives.
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha &Valerie & I were in front of Planned Parenthood this afternoon. I didn't see the abortionist Rachael Phelps blue car in her regular spot near the Administration entrance so I was glad of that but I still take it seriously that women could still be coming for an abortion. They might have another abortionist there one never knows & you can't put your guard down for one minute. I took at this way, that anyone who drives in with another person, might be there for an abortion. Not so for those who drive in alone, which is not as often. Cars stopped for information that we hand out & we gladly give it to them & speak to them briefly. We gave out some children clothes, to those who are in need. We had a meeting at 4pm so we went into the center around that time. The 4 Elim Bible Institute girls came a little after 4pm & then Jane't & Joe Atkins & then Elaine, came for the meeting. Martha & I were also in attendance. We had a blessed meeting with some new & exciting ideas for the center's future. Now we must pray to see what the dear Lord wants for the Focus Pregnancy Help Center. The two Elim students were working in the Material Aid Room when the doorbell rang. I got up to answer the door & there was Noella. She needed to get some more baby clothes, for her granddaughter. I introduced her to the girls & asked them to help her get some things for the little girl. Then I went back to the meeting. The other two Elim girls were working on the computer, putting in the names of our clients, in the database. We have serviced over a 100 clients a year since we opened as a pregnancy center almost 5 years ago. Praise God!! The meeting ended in prayer. Then I spent some time reviewing the last weeks sharing session with the girls & asked them if they were alright after that intense time. They said that they were. I shared that it was difficult for me to share what I've been through & they suggested that I write out, on paper my feelings, or the itraumas that have happened to me in the past, to clear the air, so to speak. I said that I would try it. I love it when the wisdom of others is passed onto me. Thank you Holy Spirit. I gave them all a big hug & as they were leaving, beautiful Becci came walking back to me to give me another big hug. I guess she thought that I needed it. She was so right. I hollered to them to be careful, for while we all were in the center, it had snowed pretty badly. They said back to me that they would be careful & off they went into the night. I went back into the center & Martha & I had supper together & reviewed the day.
These are the notes, that I just obtained, that were taken by a pro life spy, that went into the meeting, on January 22nd. at the Unitarian Church, were Rachael Phelps,the abortionist at Planned Parenthood, was speaking. Read it and weep!!! I was struck by what seemed to be sincere belief that what she's doing is right and good, necessary, her responsibility. I felt sick that she is so totally deceived by satan. My heart longs for her to be enlightened by God and His truth, to be free, and to use her gifts to bring life forth instead of to snuff it out. Later I will write out some quotes from her. Here are some of the notes from the meeting. Heidi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOW meeting 1/22/10 at First Unitarian Church, 220 So. Winton Rd., Rochester NY
Opening and welcome by Rev. Kaaren Anderson
Announcements:
Exhale--a pro choice agency founded in 2000 by and for women who have
abortions, to offer non-judgmental counsel (specifically NOT to make them feel they have sinned or need forgiveness.) Hotline launched in 2002.
Working on opening up the whole East coast. Need people to answer phones and $ for 501C3.
The Vagina Monologues--fundraiser
Discussion of 1/22/10 printed statement from NOW Pres. Terry O'Neill
Domestic terrorism-murder of Dr. George Tiller Health Care Reform.
Dr. Rachael Phelps, assoc. medical director of PP Rochester/Syracuse Region
Issue of lack of providers. "My own path" (from start of med. school in '92 till now). She covered a
lot of territory! Her grandma was a feminist.
Myths re: abortion:
1. Abortion is used in place of birth control.
2. The women who have abortions are selfish and don't care about
children.
3. Women who get abortions make the decision lightly.
4. Abortion threatens children's health.
5. Making abortion illegal will make it go away.
6. Abortion is harmful to women's health.
Benefits of abortion to women: Problem of fetal rights laws--multiple women imprisoned for stillbirths
blamed on exposing fetus to drugs/alcohol.
Abortions at Strong Memorial Hosp. vs. at Planned Parenthood.
SMH-limited OR time and space, more cumbersome, takes 4-5 hrs. Not enough help. Only 2 or 3 nurses/scrub techs who will do it--most not willing to stand up to terrorism (danger of flack). Planned Parenthood -could do 20/hr.! "I keep up-ing the ante. About 40/day now" (due to need
and lack of providers). Working on getting resident training in abortions at
PP.
Medical Students for Choice--created to address need for more providers
(google for more info). 24 weeks viable-legal limit in NYS. Viable, but not necessarily good
quality of life. Dr. Tiller could perform 3rd term abortions because of
lethal fetal anomalies.
Question from one of the pro-life ladies with us (They didn't know we were
pro-life.)At what point do you (Rachael) consider a fetus to be a human
being? Ans. "Can I pass? There's no easy answer to that. It's different for
different people.
....My feeling is that it's all on a continuum, though the pro choice
movement could never say that in a legal forum. I'd rather do an abortion at 6 weeks than 12 weeks.
My line is viability. Then there should be equal rights, not until then."
We offer all patients to see an ultrasound. Most want to see and have a
picture.
Jewish--fetus not considered a baby until a limb comes out.
Bible--there's something in there about "quickening."
Rochester is one of poorest cities in USA-hard to pay co-pays for birth
control.
Talked about a generation of young providers rising up in family medicine
and family planning fellowships....bringing it back into academics,
hospitals. Planned Parenthood offered to train a resident.
As abortion is pushed to the side, so is contraception. Is embarassing how many women come for abortions because they lack basic info about
contraception. OB/GYN residents are not even taught basic info about it.
Fetal rights--Pregnancy is a risk. Fetal rights are coming to a place where
pregnant women are the ones without rights. The Supreme Court decision against partial birth abortion was a huge change. Before that, women's
health always trumped. Harder to stay vigilant and fight.
Question from one of our pro life people:Do you have to file death
certificates for aborted babies?
Ans.--Yes, one must be completed for every abortion, even ectopic (in
fallopian tubes). The info goes to the state. It makes me crazy! The
woman's supposed to remain anonymous, but you have to give so much info, they could certainly figure out who she is: first 3 letters of first and
last names, place of birth, zip code, medical history, # of abortions, name
(of a 5-week old embryo?!)...
Have to sign a consent and wait 30 days on Medicaid if you want your tubes tied. Please pray for her to repent & to stop killing babies & hurting their mothers. She should be saving lives not taking lives.
Thursday, February 18, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
I'm so very happy to report to you, that one of the workers at Planned Parenthood, has quite!! Praise God! Her name is Corey & she is now looking for a job in Human Services. Also, please pray for Corey that the Lord will bless & provide for her, in her 'new life' away from Planned Parenthood. Thank you. Suzanne, our Thursday counselor, gave a pregnancy test, to a new client that was referred to us by one of our other clients. She gave her some baby clothes, for her child at home too. She was so very happy.
Today we had a new pro lifer who came with his wife & 2 beautiful children to see how we function as a street ministry & a counseling ministry. They stayed for a couple of hours. There was also the pro lifer from Mondays who came to pray & to sidewalk counsel today. He does such a great job.
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
There was no parking spaces so I had to park on the street & bring everything into the center from far away. I did a couple of things then was starting to bring the signs & literature box outside when Mary S. came. She helped me bring things out & then I went & moved my car that was parked by a meter, my 26 minutes were up. I was glad that I didn't get a $35 parking ticket. Time flies. I then joined Mary S. on the front lines & a few minutes later Donna came. About 20 minutes later we noticed a young girl, coming up the street. I went over to approach her & asked if I could help her & if she needed a pregnancy test or baby clothes, we could help her with that. She said "yes, I need a pregnancy test". I then said "come follow me into the pregnancy center where we can help you. Thank God that Melody came in early today so she was in the Material Aid Room making up packets. I lead the client into the center & we did a pregnancy test & then Melody counseled her & gave her some children's clothes in the Material Aid Room, for her child at home. I knew that she was in good hands so I went back to the sidewalk to be with Mary S, & Donna. I wasn't there for very long when a young girl was walking up the street with a sweet little girl around 2 years old all dressed in pink. Valerie called her over & she walked over to us. I asked her if she would free baby clothes for her little girl or toys or books. She said "yes, that would be nice". So she followed me in to the center. Melody was in the Material Aid Room with our other client so I asked her if she could also help our new client. She said that she would. I left to go back to the front lines. About 10 minutes later the young mom came out with her daughter & as she was getting closer to us I asked her why she was going into Planned Parenthood. She said that her sister was there, that she's been there all morning. I asked for what. She answered. She's hear for an abortion. I tried to talk her out of it but she wouldn't listen & I'm sad about that, & I know that she will have problems now. I said "yes she will & we can help her for we have post abortion information in the center". I then said to her, "you're not diving so how can you be picking her up"? She said that she was suppose to come to Planned Parenthood & that the aunt was going to pick us all up. I then said to her "thank you for giving your precious daughter life". She said that she had her daughter when she was 17 years old. I again said that if you had had an abortion this beautiful little girl would not be here. She said "I know". She said that it's not always easy but she is the joy of my life. Amen to that!!! She then went into Planned Parenthood. Just a few minutes later I saw her walking up the street towards Main. I guess that the aunt had picked up her sister already. I hope & pray the very best for her & her daughter & healing & God's forgiveness for her sister. There were pick ups of women who had abortions earlier this morning. How sad to see this, knowing that the baby has been killed, by Rachael Phelps the abortionist, in Planned Parenthood. It is a terrible feeling, a feeling of hopelessness & grief, for both mother & child.
A car was entering the parking lot of Planned Parenthood & I was saying that "we can help you" & the young woman gave me the bird. It is a terrible gesture either done by a man or a woman. A woman doing it just degrades her but I'm not to happy about the implications. This gesture is a 'rape' gesture & it is to shame you & make you feel uncomfortable, which should be how the one that does it should feel. It is a gesture of anger. After she got out of the car she walked over to me & started in with me. I told her that I didn't appreciate her mean gesture that she gave me. She then started to tell me all the wonderful things that Planned Parenthood does. I told her the opposite. She then said that she was here for rape counseling & I told her as I looked her right in her eyes that I an a gang rape survivor & that I wouldn't come here for counseling & that she deserved better. I told her that I had some referrals for her but she refused to listen. I said what I said then she told me to ..... ... which is another rape connotation. Boy at the end of this encounter I felt pretty bruised to say the least. As she was walking away to go into Planned Parenthood, I told her that I cared about her. She turned around & said something to me, I don't know what it was. Then I told her that she was "my sister & that I wanted the best for her". I started to cry after she went into Planned Parenthood but I couldn't grieve for very long for there was still more people to try to help. Donna & Mary S. had to leave so there was Valerie & I manning the fort. A woman was coming out of Planned Parenthood & I started to talk to her. She said "stop harassing me". I said that "I had a Constitutional right to peacefully protest". As she was leaving, I told her to look at the pictures of the aborted babies, that we have on the sidewalk. A reality check to what Planned Parenthood does to people, in the name of 'chose". I was talking to Valerie, a very interesting person, one with much knowledge, & there was Mary & Scott walking towards us. I know remembered that I had a 4pm appointment with them to possibility put up some shelves in the Material Aid Room. I asked Valerie if she was comfortable to be by herself & she said that she would be fine. I said that I would be back. It took longer than I thought. The doorbell rang about 20 minutes later & it was Valerie saying that she had to go. I said "I'm sorry that I took so long & thank you & I'll see you tomorrow. She said "okay". Scott & Mary offered to help me put away the signs & I asked them if they could stay with me out here for a few minutes longer. They said that they could. Just then a red truck pulled out & 2 girls were in the truck. The driver was hollering at me saying "you don't know why I'm here". I said that they do abortions & that any reason to be hear is not good. I then said to her not to come back. She was upset at me to say the least. Less then a minute later they turned around & were coming back. As they were re entering the parking lot the driver hollered to me "I'm coming back now to have the abortion". How sick!! I knew that the abortionist had left about 15 minutes earlier but one never knows there at Planned Parenthood. As they were getting out of the car I asked them if they were suffering from Post Abortion Stress Syndrome? They had smiles on their faces as they went back into the killing mill. After they went in Mary & Scott said that they had to leave & Martha wasn't there yet so I decided to just wait for the girls to come out & try to give them some information & the Growth & Development DVD. I was just waiting to try to make amends. About 15 minutes later Martha arrived & she told me the reason she was late was because her patient was admitted to the General Hospital she had to go there today rather than her apartment on East Ave. I was glad to see her. She went into the center & I thought that she was coming back outside but she stayed in the center with Melody. I was determined to stay out there until the 2 girls came out & I could reason with them. They were in there for a whole about 20 minutes until they finally came out. As they were driving passed the bushes towards the street I said to them "please take this information". The driver said to me "why are you here bothering people they have a right to choose". I said that it was a death chose & that they kill babies in there. It didn't seem to bother her for I think that she felt that women have the 'right to choose' to have their babies killed, which is nonsense. I offered the information again & said to them both that I cared. I only hope & pray that they didn't make me an excuse to come back to start killing their baby by the RU 486 method of death or they were pulling my chains. I leave them up to the grace of God. Sometimes I feel so paralyzed out there, on the front lines & guilty because of something I said that might make her go in to have the abortion. I, though the grace of God, want to save lives, not be responsible for taking lives. Lord have Mercy on your suffering servant.
After they left I went into the center to be with my friends. I was in the center getting ready for supper when the doorbell rang & there was Dan. Yeah!! It was a 'Dan showing', for we don't ever know when he'll stop by to surprise us. Martha, Melody, Dan & I all ate a homemade chicken soup (made by Martha) & tortilla chips, sour cream, salsa, cheddar cheese & humus supper. Desert wasn't bad either. We did some more work in the center & all went home tired. Thank you Lord for you faithfulness in our work to try to save & change lives for you.
Wednesday, February 24, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
Martha & I met at Church downtown & from there we went to the center. I got out of the car, for Martha was already there & I spotted Bill in the parking lot. He got out of the car & I invited him into the center. I showed him the Material Aid Room, where I wanted more shelves on the wall, to put things on. I also wanted a case, to put the signs in, that we use outside on the front lines. He said that he could make one like an envelop with hinges on it so that we could just open it up & put the signs in. He'll paint it white to look nice. He also said that he & Kim, his wife, wanted to contribute to the center every month automatically. I said that would be a blessing to the work of the center. We talked for awhile & I introduced him to Martha. Just then the doorbell rang & there was a regular client of ours that needed some baby clothes for her grandchild. Martha helped her get some very nice things that we just got in, Pooch Bear items, that she was excited in receiving. Then Martha went out to the front lines to pray & educate. After I said good-bye to Bill I gathered some more signs & went out to the front lines to be with Martha. Thank God that Jerry was with her. That was great that he was praying along with Martha, the Rosary. After awhile Valerie came to be us on the front lines. Then I looked down the sidewalk to see 2 young girls coming up the sidewalk. I approached them & asked if they needed a pregnancy test, to which they replied that they did. I asked Martha if she wanted to go into the center to do the test or stay outside & counsel. She said that she would go into the center to assist the girls with a pregnancy test. So she lead the girls into the center. I stayed outside to counsel along with Valerie. About 20 minutes later there walking down he sidewalk was a young woman who I had an appointment with to show her the counseling center & to explain to her what we do at the center for she was interested in becoming a counselor at the Focus center. I said to her that Martha was in the center already assisting with a pregnancy test & when she comes out we'll go in to the center & I will show her around. I spent some time explaining to her what we do on the front lines.
Then A car pulled up on the other side of Planned Parenthood & out of the car was Francis & 2 other people with him. They came to pray the Rosary so now Jerry had some people to pray with. They blessed the center with $21.00 between all 3 of them for work of the center. How very nice of them & thank you so much. Valerie had to go so we said good-bye to her. I then noticed that the girls came out of the center so I & Leanne started to walk toward the center. Martha was coming out of the door & I introduced her to Leanne, as she was headed to the sidewalk. I was very glad that she wasn't along out there, for there was 4 other people with her. I brought Leanne into the center to show her around. While she was there the doorbell rang & it was Cleveland asking for Ramon noodles. I went to my car trunk to get him 2 packs, he was happy with that. I came back in She was impressed with the center & it's work. I spent about 45 minutes with her before she had to leave. I hope that she comes back to be apart of the team. I went back out side to be with Martha for the 3 prayerful people had to go after they said the Rosary. We spent some time out in front of the abortion mill. I was so glad that the abortionist Rachael Phelps wasn't there killing babies today. It was bad enough to see the president, ceo of Planned Parenthood, James Stewart, along with his side kick Rick Bartell, driving in & out of the killing mill. I guess they went to many lunches today. Fat cats!! Martha & I went back into the center around 3:45 for our 4 Elim Bible Institute girls were coming at 4 & I hadn't eaten lunch yet. So I grabbed my peanut butter sandwich & ice tea & gobbled it down before they came. Martha had a ham sandwich on the sidewalk earlier.
The doorbell rang at 4 pm & there were our girls, ready to come to help us in the center. I had some projects for them to do. One was to put away children's clothes & small items, that we were blessed with from my friend at the second hand store, in East Rochester, for the Material Aid Room. Second was, working on the database, putting in information regarding our clients. I keep them very busy for the 2 hours that they are with us. What a blessing they are to us. Thank you Lord!!
Thursday, February 25, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha had called me to tell me that she was sick & Bill called me to tell me that he had to give his grandson his van to take to work today, so I knew that I was going to be by myself, on the front lines today. I went to Mass, at Our Lady of Victory & I saw Paul, & after Mass I asked him if he could come out with me, on the front lines. He said that he would but first he'll go to Wendy's & get us some hamburgers, for lunch. I said that sounded like a plan. I went over to the center & did a couple of things, like clean the Ladies Room, for it was a mess. Then the door bell rang, it was Sandy, she came in to wait for Suzanne, our Thursday counselor, to be orientated by her, to be a counselor on Tuesdays, at the Focus Center. A few minutes later Suzanne came in & I went out to the street to sidewalk counsel. I was by myself for a very short time when Paul arrived with 2 hamburgers & a ice tea, for later, so I wouldn't faint out there, for I don't eat lunch, I come right after Mass around 1pm. It was good that he was with me. It was now 1:20pm & the abortionist Rachael Phelps car wasn't in the parking lot, nor was anyone else. I though for a minute that maybe they were closed for the afternoon or better yet permanently. The parking lot was empty until around 1:40pm when a mother & daughter pulled in & went into the killing mill. I spoke to them & the daughter who was following her mother turned around at me. I only hope & pray that she wasn't going for an abortion. The abortionist wasn't there but maybe another abortionist was & had parked their car in the back parking lot.
Then a guy, in a truck, came into the parking lot & got out & lit up a cigarette. I told him that you can't smoke in Planned Parenthood but you can kill a child in there & told him that this was an evil place. He said to me "you talked to me last week when I was here". Oh Lord, you know why he was here last week & is here again this week. He went in & came back out by himself & left. About an hour later he came back & picked up a woman. Maybe the abortionist was here this morning & he was now picking her up. How sad. Just then Jerry our long time pro lifer prayer warrior came to pray with Paul, that was great. I was witnessing with the graphic signs to the people driving by & going in. There was a couple that pulled in & parked not to far from where I was standing by the fence. I showed them the picture of the precious aborted baby & called over to them to offer them help & information. The woman in the car, who was the driver, screamed over to me to shut the ..... up & he reached over her to holler to me to "get a job". I told them both that "it was my fundamental Constitutional right of freedom of speech & that they couldn't take that away from me". I spoke to them again & she hollered, over to me, "I have a 3 month old". Okay I thought, this could be either or. One, she is going in there for birth control, or second, she already has a baby & doesn't want another one, so is going in for an abortion. Both are bad. She got out of her car with a drink container so I think that it was the first scenario. For you can't drink anything before an abortion. So I decided to talk to the husband/ boyfriend, not sure which, I only know that he wasn't working either that afternoon. He literally stayed in the car for 2 hours. Sometimes you have to wait in there for a long time, since they're probably laying off people, due to the economy. Another car drove in & 2 young girls came out of the car & went in. The guy in the car stayed in the car. I spoke to both guys, that were waiting in their cars, on how men were suppose protect, love, support & take of women & children. Where are the good men, where have they gone??? Don't know what has happened. I had to now, eat my 2 hamburgers, for I was getting weak. I still counseled as I ate, I was just careful not to do it at the same time. I think that I gave away 1 packet today. I brought no one into the center, for Suzanne, to counsel or do a pregnancy test or to give away baby/children clothes. Hopefully next week. The guys that were praying, on the sidewalk, had to leave a little after 3pm & I could only stay until 4pm, for I had a commitment.
Jane't & I had an appointment, with Kristen the Director, of the 'Place of Hope ' pregnancy center, on Bay & Goodman. All I have to say is what a beautiful environment, the 'Place of Hope' is, so beautiful. As a Christian I shouldn't be jealous but it did cross my mind & I had to quickly dismiss it, for the Lord has been good to us at the Focus Center, minus the leaks in the ceiling, but I know that He is working on it, it just takes time changing our landlord, & that may take some time. Hopefully we'll get a new roof early this Spring, otherwise he'll lose everybody, that rents from him. Oh well, let me get back to the 'Place of Hope' center. It was so relaxing & all the rooms were painted, dark rich colors like, yellow, gold, purple, teal & green. So outstanding. I can only wish. The kitchenette was so functional. We had tea. It had brand new cupboards, a granite like counter space, a floor that was gorgeous, a microwave & a small stainless steel refrigerator too. There I go again, with my heart's desire plea. But, the most important function, was that it was a place of hope, healing & life saving work. Not the decorations, for they were so right on, but the love & help, that the clients receive, was the sole purpose of the center. I spoke with the Director for awhile & obtained so much information, for our work, at the Focus Center. It was such a blessed evening. Thank you Kristen, you're doing a great job!! After I left I had to go to St. Cecilia's Rectory, to pick up the DVD's that we pass out, to the people that need them, for educational purposes. The storm was coming, for after my visit in the church, the snow was now coming down big time. I got home safe & sound. Thank you Lord.
This is so sad to share with you. I was told by someone, that a young girl wanted to see her abortion, as it was happening. She wanted to see her baby die. She is now a mess, so please pray, the she will seek out God's forgiveness & her precious child's forgiveness too. Also, for her to get counseling, by a pro life counselor. Someone is working with her to encourage her to seek out professional help. She was deceived & is now paying the price. 'Abortion is mean' to both mother & child. 'Choose Life', always!!
I just wanted to share this exciting story with you. A couple of weeks ago, when we had on a Thursday, our dedicated pro lifer of 14 years, out on the front lines today. I was in the center & when I came back out he told me what just had happened. He said that a lady was walking down the street & stopped to talk to him. She said that it was about 25 years ago that she was pregnant & was thinking of having an abortion. She was walking down the street & was passing by St. Michael's Church on North Clinton Ave.when she felt a strong desire to go into the church. When she did she saw a priest there & went up to him & told him what she was thinking of doing. He told her "no". She listened to him & her daughter is now 25 years old & is a Registered Nurse. I called Fr. Vinny Panepinto, at Our Lady of the Americas Church on E. Main St. today, to thank him for saving a precious life 25 years ago. Thank you Lord that you used Fr.Vinny, to save the life of this nurse, who is now helping others, by her work. The mother has no regrets in her life, but has joy, for she gave life. Thank God that the mother 'chose life' that day because God sent her a priest, with the truth.
Tuesday, March 2, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood At Mass this afternoon I asked Jerry if he'd be with me on the front lines today because Mary S. is in Florida & Donna is in Indiana. I would be by myself until Valerie gets there at 2:15pm. He said that he wasn't sure, so off I go, after Mass to the front lines, trusting in God. I went to the center & did a couple of things & then the doorbell rang & it was Sandy. She is our new counselor on Tuesday afternoons. I orientated her with a couple of things & then I went out to the front lines by myself. I was happy to see that the abortionist wasn't there. Praise God for that. I still can't trust Planned Parenthood, in that they are not killing babies, for I mustn't ever have my guard down. I was standing on the sidewalk counseling to mostly a deaf crowd, so sad. I must always realize that this is God's battle not mine & I'm just His instrument, in this fight. God is in control. At least they hear the truth & sometimes it takes a while for them to realize it. Hopefully they are questioning what they are doing with their lives & the consequence to their sins. We must never give up because we may be reaching more people by our presence & words, through the grace of God, than we realize. The Death Escorts, Barry Swan & Linda Mock, the two old timers, were there doing their evil thing. Then I saw the next door neighbor of Planned Parenthood, Katherine, walk out of Planned Parenthood, with her one dog. She is so much in bed with Planned Parenthood. Fourteen years, of not getting through to her, about respecting life & not taking life. She is a mess, that's all I can say, but we need to always pray for her soul. It's a nightmare for me out there sometimes, or I should say mostly. Just then I saw a Jerry sighting. There he was walking down the street towards me, thank you Lord!! He came to pray. He went to the center & came back with 2 signs & a stuffed whale. I said "okay Jerry, don't ask, don't tell". He had such a cute smile on his face all I could think of that he was probably a very cute little boy. Okay Jerry, what's up with the whale. He said that he is going to use it to knee on it to pray over on the other side of the sidewalk. Okay Jerry, was that so hard to tell me the truth about Free Willie, & off he goes to the brick side of Planned Parenthood, right in front of the death mill, to pray on his knees, like the good old days, when people were humble before the Lord. Melody had just arrived to help out in the Material Aid Room. Yeah!! I told her that Sandy was in there & she would let her in. A few minutes later, I turned around, for I felt a presence near me, & I saw that it was Valerie. It was 2:15 already! I greeted her then asked her if I could go into the center, for about 10 minutes, to wolf down my ham sandwich & she said "sure". Thanks Valerie. When I got to the center Sandy told me that she just did a pregnancy test & gave away some children clothes. I told her that I didn't lead anyone into the center, so she must have know about us & came for a pregnancy test on her own, that's great. She did well, for she was her first client. Great job Sandy. I quickly ate my ham sandwich & potato chips & ice tea & went back out to the front lines. Valerie was speaking with some people, that just pulled into the Killing Mill. She has been such a blessing to us on Tuesday & Wednesday afternoons. God is great.
Before I left to go back to the street Jim came in with non perishable food for the Food Shelves, that we have in the Material Aid Room. I asked him what could be done with the leaky ceiling. We just have to wait patiently for the Spring when the landlord will have to put on a new roof. What a mess. I thanked Jim & off he went home to be with his wife & children. I went back outside & was there for a few minutes when I looked down the sidewalk & saw Pat, our grandmother & great grandmother, of our 2 saved babies, walking towards me. I greeted her & went into the center with her so that she could pick out some things for the children. I left she saying that after she was finished if she could out to the sidewalk there we talk for awhile. She said that she would . Happy shopping, dear Pat. I left her with Sandy & Melody, to assist her. Off I went back to be with Valerie & Jerry. I saw that a car had just pulled into the PP parking lot & I started to talk to the girls. Then I went back & forth with one of the girls. I said that we cared & that we could help her. She sounded so hurt & messed up, so sad.
A few minutes later a car pulled out of Planned Parenthood & I said that we wanted to give them some information. They stopped their car in the middle of the street & Valerie went over to the car & gave them a Truth packet & a Maffa 21 DVD. I offered them a pregnancy test & they said that they needed one. I said "come & follow me". I lead them to the Focus Center & assisted one of the girls with a pregnancy test. She said that she was doing a report & I gave her some more information about many subjects, plus the Truth packet. After the test I asked her if she had any children & she said that she did, so I lead her to the Material Aid Room where she was blessed with many nice things. She was so excited & took about 2 full bags of things. Great. She told me that she wanted to volunteer at the center, so I gave her my name & phone # & email address, & said for her to give me a call if she was still interested. Sometimes the girls are so excited that they want to be a part of the center then they don't call. We understand. Maybe she'll be different, I don't know yet.
As she was leaving & went back outside & Pat followed me. We stayed in the parking lot to talk for awhile & then Valerie came on over to join us. We all talked for awhile & I then said good bye to Pat & gave her a big hug & went back to my post on the sidewalk. Valerie was still talking to her about the evils of corn syrup, in the baby formula, that the Focus Center just bought for little Akira. It was between them now. Valerie is very careful for what she puts in her mouth & I respect that. I don't necessarily follow that but I do respect her way of thinking, for I eat well but not as good as Valerie.
I was there, about 10 minutes, when a young girl came around the bushes & I asked her if she needed any baby clothes. She said that she was pregnant & that she had a young daughter at home. I said "come & follow me" which she did. I introduced her to Melody & Sandy & they assisted her. I saw her come out later with 2 bags of clothes & things, for her growing family. I earlier gave her a Truth packet too.
Valerie had to go & Jerry had already left & I wasn't expecting Martha until 5:30pm, for she was at work. Before Valerie left she asked me if I wanted her to bring in any of the signs & I said "yes, the smaller ones" for her to put behind the bush in front of the center. I thanked her & off she went. I decided to stay by myself until Martha showed up for it wasn't a cold day today & I was fine. Don came walking by & I spoke with him for awhile. Then the School Bus Driver came by & honked, a good honk, at me. I was so grateful, for he is a steady honker, that I threw him a kiss. I hope that he didn't think that I wanted a date or anything, probably not. Nice man.
Then came the evil acting bozos. There I was standing holding my sign when a car with, some smart alecs, drove by. I ignored them & then I heard something hit the tree. I know that they had thrown something at me but I didn't know what it was. Just then a guy pulled along side of me in his truck & I thought, oh no I'm going to get it. But the opposite occurred. He stopped his truck & said to me that he had found a packet of information up the street & he thought that I would probably want it back. He handed me the packet & I said to him "thank you so much, that was very nice of you to stop to give it to me". He smiled & off he went. He turned his truck around & as he passed by me I waved at him. I regained my faith in mankind. I was now curious to what was thrown at me earlier, so I walked over to see. It was a banana skin. At least these goofy guys ate good.
I remember that years earlier, Officer Jim had a guy arrested & he had to spend a night in jail & had to go to court & had to do 20 hours of community service, for throwing a container of pickles at me. He had gone to Wendy's earlier that evening & got a hamburger & a container of pickles. He ate the hamburger & thrown the pickles. Should of eaten them both, son. I only can imagine what would happen to that young fellow if he had thrown his hamburger at me. He'd still be in jail perhaps. Officer Jim was very protective of us on the sidewalk. Those were the days when we got police protection, when the city could afford to pay the officers overtime, to be with us. Time's have changed & not for the better either. The reason the Judge came down so hard on him was that he threw it at night & it could have been something hard & it could have hurt or killed me. It wasn't so much what he threw but that he threw something at someone. Just then I heard a car honking at me & I looked up to see that it was Martha, it was only 4:45pm, she got there earlier than was expected from work. Yeah, always good to see Martha. I greeted her with a hug & told her about the banana boys. She said "as long that you didn't slip on the banana peel, you'll be fine". It was the principle dear Martha. She was only trying to make me feel better with humor. Oh yea! Glad that it was only a banana for next time it might be an apple & that would really hurt.
She asked me if I wanted any coffee & said "no thank you, coffee doesn't like me at all". So I said to her that I would go over to Mack's to get her a cup of coffee. She said "that would be nice". No problem dear Martha. I talked with Mack for a short time & came back to the sidewalk with a cup of freshly brewed coffee for our sweet Martha. She told me, when I returned, that a woman gave her a finger & stated to say nasty things to her. I asked Martha what she said that ticked her off & Martha said that she was just standing there not saying a word & holding a picture of Christ crying & holding the precious aborted baby, in his hands. That was enough for this poor woman. The guilt was probably overwhelming & you have to take it out on someone & that was Martha. Glad that she was okay while I was gone for her special cup of Java. Enjoy it Martha. I then saw another woman drive in, with a precious child in a car seat, in the back seat of the van. There was a Rosary on the mirror of the car. My worst scenario, a child & a Rosary. Lord have Mercy. She was in the parking lot waiting for a pick up. When she drove out it looked like it was her daughter that she picked up. I don't remember this vehicle earlier so I don't know how long that the daughter was in PP & for what she was there for. I only hope she wasn't there for an abortion or birth control, they both kill children. I wish that the mothers would be more responsible to their daughters. What is happening dear Lord??
Martha & I decided to go into the center, for Melody was still there working, & it was about 5:30pm. We went in & got ready for our Tuesday supper. Tonight we were having Martha's special Chili, along with cheese & crackers. It was delicious!!! After supper we worked in the Material Aid Room, for we got a whole new shipment of things from Ana in the Second Hand store in East Rochester. We left around 9:15pm. What a day at the center!!
Wednesday, March 3, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood I got to the center around 1pm & Martha wasn't there yet & either was Valerie. I knew that Martha had a doctors appointment at 11:30am & I knew that she would be there when she could. Valerie was just running late & I knew that she would be there soon. I asked Dan if I could use his Fax machine to sent out our 501c3 status to Time Warner, for we are going to finally get a land line phone & Internet, in the office. Yeah!! We'll be able to get more things done now, maybe even do some projects for the center. I went to the front lines alone & after that banana episode yesterday I knew that I must be careful, he might come back to banana me again, oh no. I was witnessing the graphic signs that I brought out & had my literature box with me & the mega phone. That's all that I could carry alone & I had to make 2 trips. I called out to the girls to offer them help & took the abuse of some of the people driving by. One guy made a demonic face at me. Oh you really scared me, you misguided whimper snapper. One girl, going into Planned Parenthood, gave me her finger & I said "don't show me your IQ, you're the one going into an abortion mill, I'm not & that is a rape sign & act like a lady". After all that she went into the building. I finding out, that the girls attitude, is mostly "who cares". I spoke to a young girl coming down the street & going into Planned Parenthood. She said that she was going in for condoms. I said that they don't always protect people from sexually transmitted diseases & if you want to see a chart of what they look like, I can show it to you, they are not pretty. She went in & out in a matter of minutes. I offered her the Truth packet, as she walked by me & she refused it. I then I said to her "that fornicators don't go to Heaven". She responded with a flicked wrist & I said that if you are having sex outside of marriage then you must ask God to forgive you & start over by being a secondary virgin. I hope & pray that she will.
Around the bushes came one of the workers with an envelop in her hands. I just stood there, I knew that I was blocking the sidewalk but I couldn't move but I didn't want to be prideful. Just then she said "hello" then I moved to let her pass & said that I could help her get a job & I know that you know that they kill children in there & please don't be a part of it. Off she goes down the street to the mail box. When she returned I said to her "I can see that you don't really want to be here & just want to remind you, that we don't hate you, we hate what is going on in there". She went into PP. Just then my new friend Valerie showed up. Thank you Lord. Fighting the war alone is extremely hard but I do know that God is with me in the battle. She brought out more signs, to witness the Truth, outside of Planned Parenthood. Valerie & I were worried about Martha & was talking about her when she arrived. Thank God. She said that she had to wait at the doctors office for awhile & then had to go to the store for the medicine. We were glad that she was feeling better & was with us now. She took the mega phone & started to sidewalk counsel. I went into the center to do some quick things & then came right back out again.
I then took the mega phone & Martha started to say her Rosary. I called out to a woman who was pulling into the parking lot & was telling her about Planned Parenthood. I then went over to the fence & saw that she was getting out of her car & walking over to us. I said "put away the food", for we had some sandwiches, out there for lunch, so I scrambled to hide the food, for I didn't want it to look like a picnic. I walked over to my post, by the unconstitutional yellow line, & waited for her. There she was coming towards me saying "what are you saying to me, in a gruff voice, I'm not here for an abortion, I'm here for condoms so keep quiet". Then I spoke to her saying "condoms aren't going to protect you from sexually transmitted diseases or HIV". I asked if she was married & she said that her husband had died so she needed the condoms for protection. Martha came over to calm her down. I then offered her the free DVD on Maafa 21:Black Genocide in the 21 Century, which she took along with a truth packet. We offered her free baby & children clothes which she seemed interested in & said that she would get some when she comes out. She left to go into Planned Parenthood & then came out & got into her car & off she went, into the blue. I wasn't really disappointed, for she did receive the Truth packet, which has 2 brochures about condoms in it & the DVD. At least she had something to go home with.
A young lady was walking up the street & as she drew closer to us & I asked her if we could help her & if she was going into Planned Parenthood? She said that she was but that she didn't believe in abortions. I said that we offer free pregnancy test, counseling, referrals & baby & children clothes, next to this yellow building. She said that she had gone to the center before for a pregnancy test & she was positive. I asked her if she had her baby & she told me that she had a miscarriage. I said that I was so sorry & she said that "things happen". I said that I would go into the center to get her a booklet about healing from a miscarriage. She said that she had to go into Planned Parenthood, for reasons that she didn't disclose, so as she was going into Planned Parenthood, I was going into the Focus Center, for the booklet. As I was coming back to the sidewalk I saw that she was back on the sidewalk talking to Valerie. I approached them & handed her the booklet which she said "thank you" & she put it into her bag, that she was carrying. She stayed for a few more minutes then said "good bye" & left. I hope & pray the best for her, such a dear one.
Martha said to me, that while I was in the center, a woman honked at her & gave her the 'bird', she was screaming at her as she was driving by. All Martha was doing was standing there holding a sign with, the Lord, on it. She probably was post abortive, poor soul. I hope & pray that she gets help real soon. The girls are becoming more rough, I'm finding. You just talk to them & then all of a sudden, they show you the 'disrespectful gesture' with their middle finger, which it is, either coming from a guy or a girl, it is discussing. It's getting harder dear Lord, please help us to be able to serve you, in this battle.
Jerry came by to pray with the team. It was great to have 4 pro lifers, out there in front of the Killing Mill, to storm Heaven to close down the abortion mill on University Ave.. Come Lord Jesus come!! Just then I looked up the street to see that Pat, our grandmother & great grandmother was walking down the street. The Focus Center, wanted to help Pat's great grand daughter little Akira, with a can of baby formula, so Pat had come to pick it up. I left to go to the center with Pat to give her the formula & for her to get whatever she needed in the Material Aid Room. Just then the door opened & there was another client coming to get some things in the room. It was crowded in the room for a while. But what blessing there was going on for these 2 ladies & their children. Amen. Pat & talked for a short time, for Pat had to go home to be with her family. She thanked me & I gave her a big hug & then she left, I then went back outside to be with the team. I was there for awhile longer then realized that it was almost 4pm. It was time for me, to go back into the center, to wait for our 4 Elim girls. Martha & Jerry stayed outside & Valerie had to go. We were expecting Tucker at 4pm also & he'll be on the front lines with Martha & Jerry, while I stay inside to be with the girls.
The girls have arrived & we decided to discuss the Baby Shower, that was 2 weeks away. The center will get the food, drinks, cake & decorations. We will get some presents & have some games to play. It will be a good time. Just then the doorbell rang & it was Melody, who works in the Material Aid Room, on Tuesdays. She came to talk to Becki regarding singing, which they both can do very well. Their meeting went very well. I asked the 3 other girls if they would straighten out the Material Aid Room, which they did in such a great way. It looks so organized, in the room now. Great job girls! Martha came in & Tucker had to go. Jerry left awhile ago. Before he left Tucker told me that a guy in a car had stopped & told them he didn't like the signs & that they should go. He didn't mind the benign signs but the other signs were giving his kids nightmares, for he drives down University Ave. every day. He was hollering. Tucker replied "you think that your kids feel bad just think how these kids, that were aborted, felt like". Off the guy goes down the street, madder than a wet hen. They just don't get it. The doorbell rang & it was Israel. She had brought some beautiful hand made signs with positive messages on them. Thank you Israel. After the 4 precious Elim girls & Tucker had left, Martha, Israel & I ate supper together, then we did some more work in the Material Aid Room. We also cleaned up, the mess in the hallway, from the leaky pipe & then went home. Thank you Lord for all the blessings that we received from you this afternoon.
Thursday, March 4, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood I recruited Paul & Jerry after Mass today, to come with me to the Front Lines. Paul again said that he would go to Wendy's first to get me 2 hamburgers for my lunch. How nice. As I was leaving church I started to talk to a young man who has been coming to weekday Mass regularly. I invited to come to pray in front of Planned Parenthood & he said how about now. His name is John & I am happy to have met him. I gave him a ride to the center & orientated him real fast. When we got to the center, Bill was there on the sidewalk, across the street from Planned Parenthood. I was hoping to see Martha but she wasn't there yet. I was hoping that she was okay & would be there momentarily. I was wrong. I went into the center to get the signs & the mega phone & the literature box for the fight ahead. I saw that the abortionist Rachael Phelps was there so I knew that she was killing children here today. As I was thinking this a car pulled out of the parking lot with the girl slumped down in the front seat, so I knew that this was the first fatally of the day, for my eyes to see. Very upsetting. I was happy to see that Jerry was now coming down the street towards me & I knew that I would be having prayer power now. A few minutes later there was Paul coming down the street & he stopped to hand me my bag lunch & then he parked his car & got out & joined Jerry in prayer. I was still worried about Martha for she wasn't there yet. She finally did come about 1 hour later, so got tied up with unexpected phone calls that made her late. As long as she was okay that's all that matters. I was a little snooty when she did come because I depend on her so much & it is difficult for me to sidewalk counsel by myself. Before she got there the Insurance Agent came & gave me the paper work for our Liability Insurance, for the Focus Center. I wanted to talk to him in the privacy of the center but Martha wasn't there yet so I couldn't leave my post & I had to talk to him & sidewalk counsel , at the same time. Very difficult! He understood & was gracious. I still spoke to every car that pulled into this 'Hell Hole' of a place, where they murder babies, in cold innocent blood. He explained our coverage briefly & I thanked him for all his help, in getting a reasonable policy, for our Focus Center. He good bye & left. I felt frazzled. I was certainly glad when Martha did arrive on the sidewalk safe & sound. She said hi & then she said the Rosary along with Jerry & Paul & our new recruit, John. When our Thursday counselor arrived, on the sidewalk before she goes into the center she said "hello Mary, hi John". What, you mean Suzanne knows John. She said to him "your friends were here last week". Wow you know them too. Small world! I spoke with Suzanne briefly about some things to do in the center & off she goes into the center.
Two young guys were up the street on skateboards, I knew that they could be trouble. As they passed by, with their earrings in their noises, they expressed themselves as they passed by. I just said to them as they skated by us "have a nice day, have a nice day, have a nice day" until they skated away, to go down the street, to harass someone else. Can't wait for Summer, oh boy, for this is the time that we are harassed the most because of better weather. God will get us through.
Just then a car drove in with a man & a woman in the car. The man who was driving gave me the 'rape symbol' with his finger. As the woman was getting out of the car I said to her "your husband just gave me the 'rape symbol' how sad. She went into the Planned Parenthood & came out a few minutes later along with two young girls. I said to them "I hope that you didn't have an abortion". They both repeated what their father did to me earlier. Like father like daughters. I spoke to this broken family as they drove out. I said " You will suffer until you repent. I hope that you didn't allow your daughters to kill your grandchildren, repent". I hope & pray that this family realizes, real soon, what they did & repent. Question: How to destroy a family. Answer: abortion. John asked to go into the center to watch the DVD of Growth & Development. I said to him that if he rings the doorbell Suzanne will let him in. He said "okay" & off he goes. After the prayer team finished the Rosary I asked if I could go into the center to eat my lunch. They said that would be fine & off I went. I ate my hamburger & spoke with Suzanne for a few minutes. I saw that she did a pregnancy test & gave away baby clothes. Very good. I also told her that I got new pregnancy tests that were more accurate if a client had just missed one period. I was so blessed to have found these new pregnancy tests from the 'Place of Hope Pregnancy Center', on Bay & Goodman. This way we & the client will know very early if she is pregnant or not. These tests are used in Hospitals. I went back to the front lines to be with the team. Martha then told me what had transpired when I was away. First she told me that a black man & a white woman came out of Planned Parenthood & the woman was stooped down in the front seat. Another abortion. How sickening. The next incident was a man with a bottle in a brown bad, hobbled over to Martha, Jerry & Paul. I will not repeat what this poor drunk said to Martha, I only hope that I can forget it. He crossed the street after his vulgar remark & almost got sniped by a car. We must always be ready to meet the Lord, drunk or not. Lord have Mercy!!! John was coming up the street & approached me & said "good bye". I said "good bye John & I hope to see you again real soon, back on the front lines, to pray". He said "yes". Off he goes. What a blessing he was. I hope that he will come back, I will certainly encourage him, for I know where he goes to church. It was about 4:15pm & Jane't was coming for the 12 Step Bible Study, in the center. We packed up everything & went into the center. Suzanne was still there & before she left I asked her if she wanted to share anything with me. She did & it was wonderful. Here it is: We, at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, want to inform everyone of two recent blessed events. We have had 2 of our babies born recently. First, little David Tobias, was born on March 2, 2010. He was 6 weeks early but mother & son are doing very well. Our second baby, is little boy Bamyr, born January 3, 2010. We thank the dear Lord for these lives saved through our Sidewalk Ministry & the Focus Pregnancy Help Center Ministry. We are so happy, with our 2 new babies, in the world. The moms 'chose life' rather than abortion. They are so happy now that they did. I told the team & we all rejoiced. We set up for the Bible Study. It was Jane't, Martha, Bill, Jerry & myself. But before we started we all sang Happy Birthday to Bill, who was pleasantly surprised & had a grim on his face from ear to ear. We then all sat down & had brownies that I baked at 2 AM. We have a very fruitful meeting with much sharing & prayer. After the Bible Study Martha brought Bill home & I set up for supper. Martha brought chicken soup & it was her & I who ate tonight. We then worked in the Material Aid Room for awhile then went home. My heart is still heavy for all the babies that were killed at Planned Parenthood today & everyday that they do this evil against Almighty God.
Saturday evening, March 6, 2010
A friend of mine & I went to see Pat & her 2 great grandbabies, little Akira, who was born 4 months prematurely @ 1lb. 8 ozs. & Khy-mire, who was our RU486 (abortion pill) save.
They are both beautiful children & they weigh about 11lbs. each. They are alert & so cute. What a blessing, that these two children were saved from abortion, and now are in the world. Praise God!!
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 on front of Planned Parenthood
I never get sick & tired of writing this on the Front Line Weekly. God did it again. We had 2 babies saved, from being killed by abortion today, at the street ministry & the Focus Pregnancy Help Center. We thank the Lord that he touched both our girls hearts & the 2 boyfriends also. They got love & educated, to the Truth, about what would happen to their precious babies, if they go through with the abortion. One of the boyfriends said to his girlfriend, as I was counseling her at the Focus Center, "they're waiting for you", meaning Planned Parenthood. She said that she would not go back there & then he said that left something there & he wouldn't go back to get it either. Yeah!! This young lady came over to Martha, who was sidewalk counseling & spoke with her for a few minutes then I walked her over to the center to counsel her. I showed her the Truth about abortion, which she had no idea, for she said that Planned Parenthood told her that it was nothing & she believed it until she was told & shown the truth. I also gave her & her boyfriend a DVD on Growth & Development of a baby in the womb & the movie Bella & instructed them to watch these 2 DVD's as soon as possible. She also took some books & things, in the Material Aid Room, for her 2 other children. I touched her belly & told the baby to relax now for mommy has 'choice life' for you so fear no more. They both left smiling & we will do follow -ups with her as we do with all our clients. Suzanne is our counselor on Thursdays & she calls our clients to see how they are doing & if they need anything. Praise God for 2 lives saved today, maybe 3. Another girl & guy drove into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood & saw the 'Truth Pictures' that were out on the sidewalk. They never got out of their car & as they were leaving Planned Parenthood they talked to one of the sidewalk counselors, Mary S.. They were given a truth packet, as they left, which has lots of information & helpful phone numbers for them, to get the help that they need. Also, another young girl came from behind the bushes at Planned Parenthood & Martha spoke with her & then I brought her into the Focus Center. She needed encouragement, for her boyfriend wants her to her have an abortion, but she said "no" & received lots of support & literature & a DVD & children clothes, for her young child at home. Busy day yesterday for we gave a pregnancy test & also gave away lots of clothes & items in the Material Aid Room, to mothers in need. Thank you for your love, prayers & support to the work of the Focus Pregnancy Help Center. God be the glory! Please keep us, who are out on the front lines & in the Focus Center & our clients, in your powerful prayers. Thank you so much, for we couldn't do this ministry without God & for those of you, that give us love, prayers & support in our work, to 'save lives & souls' for Christ, through His grace.
We had a great donation of a car seat with two bases & a stroller & bassinet, from Amy. It will be given to our new mom which just delivered, her baby boy. Amy helped me to get it all in the center for tomorrow's pick up. What a blessing to our client that 'chose life'. We also had 2 strollers that were donated, to the Focus Center, earlier by Paula & Jim for our clients, that are in need. Melody & Sandy helped us in the center today & they gave away lots of baby & children's clothes, toys & stuffed animals. We had a lot of happy mothers. Dan dropped by & I put him to work cleaning the strollers & making them ready to give away. Thanks you guys, for all your help, in helping people! :)
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Today is 'Appreciation for Abortion Providers ' from the Pro Death side. How sad. I got to the center & went out to the front lines, for no one was there with me, at that time. I stood by my post by the tree & witnessed the truth to the public, of what abortion looked like & that we can help them to 'choose life' for themselves & their baby.
Another great report on the front lines. Miracles are happening out there. Just want to share with you. A woman came around the bushes & she was on the phone. She was trying to say good bye to her mother & finally hung up. I asked her what she was doing at Planned Parenthood & she told me that was pregnant & was getting information to have an abortion. She said that she has 5 children & really doesn't know the father of her baby that she is pregnant with. I said that you are pregnant with baby # 6 & the only choice you have is either to raise this baby or to give this baby up for adoption. I said "you shouldn't be here at Planned Parenthood". Then she said "my mother doesn't want me here either". "Your mother is right on" I said. Then she landed me a whopper. She said that she was here for an abortion 8 years ago & she said we were here, on the sidewalk, & told her not to do it & she didn't & her son is 8 years old now. I gave her a big hug. I said "you're not going to do now either" & I gave her our Truth packet & a DVD of the Growth & Development, of the baby in the womb. She smiled & said that she wasn't, for she was convicted again. I invited her to come into the center but she had to go. I said to her "if you need anything then please come to the center or call me" & she said that she would. She went into the parking lot to get her car & as she was leaving, I went up to her car, on the street, & gave her our 12 week old plastic baby & said "this is the size of your baby, in your womb, that God created & he has a plan for your child" She smiled & I said "by the way say hi to your mom, I really like you mom". She said that she would & off she went, never to come back to this killing mill again. I'm so glad that we were out there again for her to 'choose life'. Praise God for this precious baby to be saved, by the grace of God. It's real cool, for the Lord to let us know, that we have an 8 year boy, who was saved from being aborted. I know that he is happy to be alive.
Tucker & I were out on the front lines & I was sidewalk counseling & in between calling out to the girls, going into Planned Parenthood, for it was 5pm & the abortionist was gone, I was cleaning the 2 bases of the car seat we were giving away tomorrow, to our new mom. Just then I heard a voice say "do you have any packets with the beads in it"? I looked to see a young girl. I said to her "yes, I have a packet with a Rosary in it & it tells you how to say the Rosary". Then I asked her if she had any children & she said that she has a 4 year old son. I invited her to come to the Material Aid Room for some clothes, toys, books & stuffed animals for him. She said "that would be great" & she followed me into the center. As she was gathering things for her son she started to talk to me. She said that about 2 years ago, when she came out of Planned Parenthood, we were there on the sidewalk & we asked her if we could help her. She remembered that she told us that it was to late for she just had an abortion. She said that she regretted it immediately. We handed her a packet of information. She said that her mother stopped talking to her, for she didn't tell her that she was going for an abortion. Her mother was heart sick for if she had known she would have helped to take care of the baby, for she wanted more grand children. My heart was aching. I asked her if she asked the Lord to forgive her & she said that she did. I went into the counseling room to get her post abortion brochures & Kathy's phone number, for she is post abortive, to talk to her. She said that she would like to talk to someone. I also gave her Project Rachael & Silent No More & Lumina information, for her healing & reconciling with her child. She was receptive for all this help. I said that in time, her & her mother will heal & be reunited, through the grace of God. She smiled. I gave her a hug & she thanked me & as she was leaving I handed her our brochure & told her to call me if she needed anything else. She said "okay". She left very grateful that there was hope in her life now, a new beginning. Thank you Lord for your healing & forgiving power. I did a couple of things, in the center, then went back outside to join Tucker, who was by himself. There was some cars that drove by & gave us a positive honk. Hopefully people are changing.
Thursday, March 11, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood I can't tell you all went on because so much went on that it hasn't registered yet. Our counselor gave a pregnancy test to a mom with two children & I was answering the door for a client that needed clothes for her son. She then shared that she was going into Planned Parenthood, for an abortion & one of the people, on the front lines, talked her out of it. She said that her son in 17 months old now. Praise God! She was grateful for all that she received, for her son, at the Focus Center's Material Aid Room. We are glad to help out this mother that 'chose life'. We had a nasty guy walking down the sidewalk along with his friend. A woman who was in the parking lot of Planned Parenthood recognized these two people & walked over to them with her baby, in her arms. I spoke to them of what was going on in Planned Parenthood & one of the guys said "yeah, this is a late term abortion" & laughed, as they were walking her into the parking lot, to get her car. I told him that he was a sick wimp & no real man would talk like that. What kind of a woman would want a person like that around her & her precious baby? That poor baby to be around people like that & I mean his or her mother. She carried a big smirk on her, red haired, face. What's wrong with people today. Do they have no feelings. I only hope that they all reflected on their bad behavior today at the Killing Mill. Tony was with me when this happened & Jerry was praying by the brick side of the building, which is the front, with the signs on the tree.
I had to go back & forth into the center to inform Suzanne of different things because one of our new mothers was coming to receive a car seat with 2 bases & a stroller & a bassinet. Also, I asked Suzanne to call our 2 new clients, of this past week, to see how they were doing & to see if they needed any help. One of our clients boyfriend thought that it was Planned Parenthood calling & he told them that they had changed their minds, until Suzanne reassured the boyfriend, that it was the Focus Pregnancy Help Center that was calling, to see how the mom was doing. He was relieved. They talked for awhile & Suzanne stressed the value of marriage to him. We'll have to wait & see if he heard the 'message'. We might be going to a wedding this summer. Never know.
I was out on the front lines when Suzanne hollered, up the street, that our client was here. She was here, with her new baby, to pick up the items that we had for her. I walked to the center's parking lot & there she was. I went over to her & gave her a big hug. I looked in the car & there was our sweet little boy sleeping along with his big brother who is 4 years old, in the back seat of the car. My heart was touched & as I looked at him & all I could think was, that this is the same baby that was in her womb, when she was going to Planned Parenthood, to get an abortion. I was rejoicing that she 'chose life'. Praise God!!! Her boyfriend thanked me & so did our sweet girl. I told to call me if she needed anything & she said that she would. I gave her another hug & off they went, on happy family. My heart sang.
I saw someone ringing our doorbell & I went over to them. They said that they were here for some baby clothes. I saw Melody, in the corner of my eye, as she was walking down the sidewalk to join the 'Bound for Life' group that were forming across the street. She came right over to me & I asked if she could go into the Material Aid Room to help our new clients. She said that she would. She & they went into the center. As I was walking, to go back to the front lines, I noticed that someone else was at the door so I went back. The lady was here to get some baby clothes so I opened the door for her to go to the Material Aid Room to join the others. WOW!!! I finally got back to the front lines to join the team, which was Martha, Jerry, Charles, Bill & now the 'Bound for Life' group, there was four people. I went up to Brandon & greeted him. His wife Crystal was our Monday evening counselor until she had baby number two. We spoke for a few minutes & then he went back to join the others. They put red tape on their mouths that read 'LIFE' & they stand across the street across from Planned Parenthood & don't talk but pray for an hour. They represent the babies, that are aborted, that have 'no voice'. They touch my heart. Now there was Jane't & her 3 friends now on the sidewalk. This looks so good to the public. I had to go across the street to give Brandon something & as I was crossing the street a lady that was at the Vet's office stopped me. She said "can I ask you a question". I said "yes you can". She said that she was opposed to abortion & that she had 2 children & that her father was a Pastor. I said "that's great". She then asked "do you just protest & don't help them once they change their minds". I said "are you saying that they should have an abortion if we don't help them" I think that I was being defensive. "Oh no" she replied, I told you that I was opposed to abortion, I just wanted to know if you help them too. I said "oh yes, we have a pregnancy center right across the street" & I pointed to the center, in the corner of the strip mall. I asked her if she would like some information & for her to follow me across the street to receive it, which she did. I handed her a Truth packet & the Maafa 21: Black Genocide DVD, which she took. I introduced her to the group of people that were out in front of Planned Parenthood. I left her to do something else & when I looked over she was praying with Jane't. Praise God for her openness to want to know more about what we were doing in front of Planned Parenthood. I know that her & her father will make a difference in the Black community & maybe bring their church down here to peacefully protest the evils of this racist Planned Parenthood, that murders God's precious creation. One person can make a difference!!!
I was now sidewalk counseling & I hollered over into the parking lot that we had baby clothes, next to this big yellow building, next door. Just then a young girl came around the bushes & said that she was pregnant & needed some baby clothes. I said yes we have baby clothes in our center down the street a little ways. I asked her what she was doing there at Planned Parenthood. She said that her grandmother & her were picking up a friend that just had an abortion. My heart sank. Then there was the car coming around the bushes & stopped to where we were standing. Then I saw a young girl walk from around the bushes & that was the friend that just had the abortion, she got into the car. I said to the pregnant girl to follow me to the center & I would give her some baby clothes. She followed me to the center & her grandmother who was in the car drove into the parking lot of the center & parked. I brought the young girl into the Material Aid Room to select what she wanted for her baby, in her womb. I said to her "you're not going to have an abortion, are you". She said "oh no I wouldn't do that to my baby". I said "that is great news, I just wanted to make sure". Then I went into the counseling room to get her a Growth & Development, in the womb, DVD & our little 12 week old plastic baby. I also got all the post abortion material, that I could put my hands on, plus Kathy's phone number, for her friend to talk to when she gets out of denial. I handed this to her & she thanked me. She got some things that were yellow & green until he knows if she is going to have a little boy or girl. I gave her our brochure & told her to call me if she needed anything. She said "thank you" & left. I was so happy for her & so sad for her friend, that will suffer greatly, for what she did at Planned Parenthood today. It will be very hard for them to remain friends as she gets bigger in her pregnancy. God is in charge.
I then went back to be with my friends out on the front lines for solidarity. When I got back I spoke with Martha for her heart was heavy with what just happened. I love this woman for she is so dedicated out on the street & in the center. She has a heart of gold & is so good with the girls. She draws them to her & then I do the follow up, usually. She is such a great help to me in the center when we have events there. Thank you Lord for all the dedicated remnant, that have served you for many years, & will continue. After the hour was up the 'Bound for Life' group came over to us & we all held hands & said the Our Father prayer. Then we all hugged & after some conversation we all said good bye. Martha, Jane't & her 3 friends that she brought, Bill & I went into the center to have our group meeting, that's based on the Bible. It went very well & we were all blessed.
Tuesday, March 16, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood What a day! I'll be truthful, so much happened & so fast were things happening, I really don't think that I will remember everything that went on today, but I will do my best. All I can say was that it was all good & so many mothers were helped. It all started when Martha & I went to the center after Mass around 12:45pm. We started to do some things around the center when Sandy came in to counsel in the center. She helped me bring all the things that I had in my car. Then it was the cleaning the high chair with diluted Clorox water, for our client to take home with her, when she comes in. Her baby was born 6 weeks early & is doing well & will be coming home on Wednesday, he is over 4 lbs. now. Yeah!! Martha & I went out to the front lines & set up the signs & there come Mary S. & Donna. What a team! I was in & out of the center. Then when I was out on the sidewalk there were 2 young girls with strollers. I stopped to talk to them & they said that they will come over to the center after they get their STD testing. About 2 hours later they came out & came over to the center to get baby & children clothes. we are glad that she 'chose life'. She doesn't believe in abortion & would not be talked into an abortion at Planned Parenthood though they tried. She said that they do abortions up to 13 weeks gestation. She over heard someone say that in Planned Parenthood. Oh my God how evil they are. Lord have mercy!! Another young girl needed baby clothes so Martha went into the center to help her. I stayed outside to counsel. Then along comes the male worker at Planned Parenthood checking out to see if anything of ours is touching the wooden base around the bushes. He stopped his car & said "take your things off the base". Nothing was on it only a few signs were leaning against it. I said "have a nice day". He said "I'll be right over". He went to the back parking lot & then went into Planned Parenthood. I told him later when he drove out that his priorities were all off. They are killing children in there where you work & you do nothing & all that you care about is our signs touching the base by the bushes". "You need help" I interjected. He drove away & came back later & didn't bother us but he will again, in the future. I went into the center to see that the drop off of things including a wooden high chair & other nice things had arrived. I just missed the gentleman but I will call him later to thank him for all the nice things he brought to us. Dishes, vases, tea pot, coffee pot etc.. How very thoughtful of him. As I was leaving I saw our client come in who just had her baby boy 6 weeks earlier. He was still in the hospital for she delivered early but is doing fine & will be bringing him home in a few days. Little David Tobias. Praise God!! She received the wooden highchair that was just brought in as a donation & the stroller we just received a few days ago. She also took some diapers, baby clothes & other things & was very happy to receive them. I gave her a hug good bye & told her if she needed anything else in the future please call me & she said that she would. I was thrilled to see her & that she 'chose life'. I then went back outside to the front lines to be with Donna for Mary S. had to go back to work & Martha wanted to stay in the center to help Sandy with the delivery that came in. I wasn't outside for very long when I lead a young girl into the center for a pregnancy test, she was going into Planned Parenthood. There she was in good hands with Martha & Sandy, in the center. When I got back to the sidewalk there was the next door neighbor to Planned Parenthood Katharine Lynch walking down the sidewalk with her dog & a young guy. I said to her "Katherine, don't have your dog pee on our signs". "O shut up" was her reply. Nothing changes. She then said "you don't own the sidewalk". I replied "either do you, your dog pees on my signs I'll call the police". The young guy said something but I didn't pay him an attention. This was between her & I. As I was turning around to be more attentive at my post there was another young girl coming down the street. I stopped to talk to her & said "come follow me". I brought her into the center for a pregnancy test & counseling. Back to the street I go. I turned around & there were 3 girls walking towards me. I recognized on of the girls in the middle & it was our client who were going to have a Baby Shower for tomorrow on St. Patrick's Day. I went up to her & gave her a big hug. The one girl with her was her sister & the other girl was her friend. They had gone into the center to see me & her friend had a pregnancy test. I was so glad to see her & she is so excited about the Baby Shower tomorrow. I asked her to stay there for a few minutes, for I needed to go back into the center for a minute, for I needed to do something. She said that she would. When I came back I noticed that they all were talking to someone on the sidewalk. When I approached the girls I heard the woman that was talking to them was angry & said that she was thing of having an abortion because things were not going well for her. I said something to her & Donna said something to me in response. Then the woman said "she has her on opinion". I knew whatever I said for I can't remember was from the Holy Spirit, for I asked him to anoint my head, mouth, heart, hands & feet, & I know that he did. I quickly went to the literature box to get the Growth & Development DVD & handed it to her which she took. She then walked into Planned Parenthood & I called over to her to tell her that we would help her in what she needed. I had to leave her to the dear Lord which will touch her heart, not to do this evil against her child & herself. If she thinks that she has problems now just wait & see what will happen after the abortion. I put her into the Blessed Mother's care like all the other girls. I know that the Lord used Donna & also the 3 girls on the sidewalk with her. I was the last hurrah. I talked with the girls for a few minutes & 2 of them shared that Planned Parenthood gave them pills to take, which they later found out, was the abortion pill RU 486. They both lost their babies. Planned Parenthood never told them what they were for only that they needed to take the pills, which being so young listened to them & took the 'pills of death'. That was about 2 years ago. Through the grace of God, I stopped our client, as she was going into Planned Parenthood for an abortion, last year. She & I & baby are so glad that she 'chose life'. In a couple of weeks now she will be holding her little boy in her arms. Yeah!!! :) As they were saying good bye two young girls came from behind the bushes. I asked if we could help them & the one girl said that she was pregnant & she had she ultrasound pictures with her. I offered some baby clothes in the center & they followed me into the center to receive them. I told her that I was happy that she 'chose Life'. She said that Planned Parenthood tried to talk her into an abortion & she said that she told them off & left. Good for you my dear!! She was disgusted. Tuesday, March 16, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood What a day. I'll be truthful, so much happened & so fast were things happening, I really don't think that I will remember everything that went on. All I can say was that it was all good & so many mothers were helped. It all started when Martha & I went to the center after Mass around 12:45pm. We started to do some things around the center when Sandy came in to counsel in the center. She helped me bring all the things that I had in my car. Then it was the cleaning the high chair with diluted Clorox water, for our client to take home with her, when she comes in. Her baby was born 6 weeks early & is doing well & will be coming home on Wednesday, he is over 4 lbs. now. Yeah!! Martha & I went out to the front lines & set up the signs & there come Mary S. & Donna. What a team! I was in & out of the center. Then when I was out on the sidewalk there were 2 young girls with strollers. I stopped to talk to them & they said that they will come over to the center after they get their STD testing. About 2 hours later they came out & came over to the center to get baby & children clothes. we are glad that she 'chose life'. She doesn't believe in abortion & would not be talked into an abortion at Planned Parenthood though they tried. She said that they do abortions up to 13 weeks gestation. She over heard someone say that in Planned Parenthood. Oh my God how evil they are. Lord have mercy!! Another young girl needed baby clothes so Martha went into the center to help her. I stayed outside to counsel. Then along comes the male worker at Planned Parenthood checking out to see if anything of ours is touching the wooden base around the bushes. He stopped his car & said "take your things off the base". Nothing was on it only a few signs were leaning against it. I said "have a nice day". He said "I'll be right over". He went to the back parking lot & then went into Planned Parenthood. I told him later when he drove out that his priorities were all off. They are killing children in there where you work & you do nothing & all that you care about is our signs touching the base by the bushes". "You need help" I interjected. He drove away & came back later & didn't bother us but he will again, in the future. I went into the center to see that the drop off of things including a wooden high chair & other nice things had arrived. I just missed the gentleman but I will call him later to thank him for all the nice things he brought to us. Dishes, vases, tea pot, coffee pot etc.. How very thoughtful of him. As I was leaving I saw our client come in who just had her baby boy 6 weeks earlier. He was still in the hospital for she delivered early but is doing fine & will be bringing him home in a few days. Little David Tobias. Praise God!! She received the wooden highchair that was just brought in as a donation & the stroller we just received a few days ago. She also took some diapers, baby clothes & other things & was very happy to receive them. I gave her a hug good bye & told her if she needed anything else in the future please call me & she said that she would. I was thrilled to see her & that she 'chose life'. I then went back outside to the front lines to be with Donna for Mary S. had to go back to work & Martha wanted to stay in the center to help Sandy with the delivery that came in. I wasn't outside for very long when I lead a young girl into the center for a pregnancy test, she was going into Planned Parenthood. There she was in good hands with Martha & Sandy, in the center. When I got back to the sidewalk there was the next door neighbor to Planned Parenthood Katharine Lynch walking down the sidewalk with her dog & a young guy. I said to her "Katherine, don't have your dog pee on our signs". "O shut up" was her reply. Nothing changes. She then said "you don't own the sidewalk". I replied "either do you, your dog pees on my signs I'll call the police". The young guy said something but I didn't pay him an attention. This was between her & I. As I was turning around to be more attentive at my post there was another young girl coming down the street. I stopped to talk to her & said "come follow me". I brought her into the center for a pregnancy test & counseling. Back to the street I go. I turned around & there were 3 girls walking towards me. I recognized on of the girls in the middle & it was our client who were going to have a Baby Shower for tomorrow on St. Patrick's Day. I went up to her & gave her a big hug. The one girl with her was her sister & the other girl was her friend. They had gone into the center to see me & her friend had a pregnancy test. I was so glad to see her & she is so excited about the Baby Shower tomorrow. I asked her to stay there for a few minutes, for I needed to go back into the center for a minute, for I needed to do something. She said that she would. When I came back I noticed that they all were talking to someone on the sidewalk. When I approached the girls I heard the woman that was talking to them was angry & said that she was thing of having an abortion because things were not going well for her. I said something to her & Donna said something to me in response. Then the woman said "she has her on opinion". I knew whatever I said for I can't remember was from the Holy Spirit, for I asked him to anoint my head, mouth, heart, hands & feet, & I know that he did. I quickly went to the literature box to get the Growth & Development DVD & handed it to her which she took. She then walked into Planned Parenthood & I called over to her to tell her that we would help her in what she needed. I had to leave her to the dear Lord which will touch her heart, not to do this evil against her child & herself. If she thinks that she has problems now just wait & see what will happen after the abortion. I put her into the Blessed Mother's care like all the other girls. I know that the Lord used Donna & also the 3 girls on the sidewalk with her. I was the last hurrah. I talked with the girls for a few minutes & 2 of them shared that Planned Parenthood gave them pills to take, which they later found out that it was the abortion pill RU 486. They both lost their babies. Planned Parenthood never told them what they were for only that they needed to take them, which being so young, listened to the authority & took the pills of death. That was about 2 years ago. Through the grace of God stopped our client as she was going into Planned Parenthood for an abortion. She & I & baby are so glad that she 'chose life'. In a couple of weeks now she will be holding her little boy in her arms. Yeah!!! :) As I was saying good bye to my girls there comes from behind the bushes 2 young girls. I asked if we could help them. The one girl said that she was pregnant & I told her that we had baby clothes in the center & to come follow me, which they did. I thanked her for choosing life for her baby & she told me that Planned Parenthood was trying to talk her into having an abortion. She gave them a piece of her mind & then left, for she was disgusted with them. One other girl earlier told me that they pulled that on her to so she went to Strong Memorial Hospital & continued her pregnancy & had her baby daughter. She was so glad that she did. For some reason the girls think that the only place to get a pregnancy test is going to Planned Parenthood, no matter how they were treated by them in the past, we are aiming to change that. The word is getting out in the community that the Focus Pregnancy Help Center does FREE Pregnancy Tests & care about them too. I went back to the sidewalk to be with Donna for she was by herself. She flagged a car that was going into Planned Parenthood. The gentleman said "do you have any pictures of a baby about 33 weeks along". Boy do we!! "Come follow me", which they did. They went into the parking lot & tuned around & followed me up the street a little ways to the center. I lead them into the center to be helped by Martha & Sandy. I stayed with them, for it was very busy, in the center. They said that they needed financial assistance so Martha told them that Suzanne, the counselor on Thursdays, will call them to help them with their needs. They received some things, for their precious baby, in the womb. They left very grateful & thanked us many times over. We thanked them for 'choosing life' for their little one & that God will bless them for it. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, for He careth for you". When I was on the sidewalk & called over to a gentleman who was waiting by his car. He walked over to Donna & I & he said that his old lady was in there applying for a job. I said "did I hear you say old lady". He just looked at me & Donna said that the reference was okay if that's what he refers his girlfriend as. He said that she was there trying to get a job. Donna & I said "are you a Christian"? He replied that he was. We said that the good Lord doesn't want her there working in a place that kill His creation. I offered him the 2 DVD's that we hand out & he took them both & the Truth packet & our little 12 week old plastic baby. He said that he would give them to her & she'll make up her mind. I asked if he belonged to a Church & he said that he did, so I encouraged him to ask them to pray for a job for his girlfriend. He thought that was a good idea. Thank you Holy Spirit. Off he went back to the parking lot & to his car. The roofers were back or at 2 of them. There must be a leak on the new roof for otherwise why would they be there, on top of the roof, harassing me. I thought the guy was waving at me so I waved back to him & then he waved back to me until I noticed that it wasn't a wave but something else. I said to him that "a gentleman wouldn't treat a lady this way & that if he had paid for an abortion, in his past, that this was no way to deal with it & that we could help him". He was nasty & I hope that he fixed the problem, on the roof, & never comes back again but only to get help. Martha came back outside to sidewalk counsel & to pray. Donna had to leave for it was after 4:30pm. I thanked her for all her help & that I would see her again next Tuesday. Martha & I stayed on the street until after 5pm. I spoke to the abortionist, Rachel Phelps as she was leaving, for it tears me up inside to see her come in or out of this death mill where she kills God's children, all day long. Some of her victims did get away, for some have been born & others are still cooking & will be born later this year. I think that we have a baby a month, to be born, this year! Praise God!! Martha & I & Melody, for she came to help us out, later on in the afternoon, to put away the signs & literature box, from the sidewalk. We went into the center to work in there, for it was a big mess, & then to sit down to eat my pot roast that I brought for supper. Praise God for 3 pregnancy tests given, about 8 or more Truth packets handed out plus 4 or more DVD's & so many clothes & items, that were given away to our clients, that I couldn't even count. Thank you Lord for such a blessed day!
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center
Today was the day of the Baby Shower, for our two girls. Martha & I got to the center, after the noon Mass downtown, at Our Lady of Victory Church. When we got to the center we got busy doing so many things but first I went to the sidewalk to see if the abortionist was there & she wasn't. Thank God!! I went back into the center & started to get ready for the Baby Shower at 5pm. We were going to have an important meeting at 3pm, so I ordered the coffee next door at Mack's, for the gentlemen that were coming to the meeting, about the new center. I was also waiting for the Time Warner man to fix the new phone line in the center. He came around 2pm. He was a nice man & we gave him 2 of our brochures for his 2 children to come & receive baby clothes for his grandchildren. He must have had his children when he was very young. He was receptive in what we were doing here at the center. Just before he left I again went back outside to see if the abortionist, Rachael Phelps, was at Planned Parenthood. I was standing, at my post by the tree, when I saw that a woman in white, was getting in her car. As she was by the mouth of the road I spoke to her. I told her that Planned Parenthood kills babies. She rolled down her car window & said that she had 7 children & that she was here for some literature. I then told her that we had a lot of literature at the center 2 doors down & to come follow me. She did. She came into the center & saw that we had a lot of literature. She was doing a nursing project & was amazed that we had so much literature. She took what she needed plus the 2 DVD's that we hand out on the front lines. Just then I had to sign for the telephone service for the Time Warner man was done fixing the phone. Yeah!! I signed & said good bye to this nice gentleman & continued with this very nice woman. She was most grateful for all the information that she received from the center. This was Divine Providence, for me to go to the sidewalk, at the time she was leaving Planned Parenthood. God is Great!!! The guys were coming in for the meeting at 3pm. It was great seeing familiar faces. The meeting lasted for an hour & went very well.
So after that we had to start to blow up balloons, which Christina from the Taxi Company volunteered. Great job! Then the Elim girls came around 4pm to help to set up the room. They brought 2 beautiful cakes & cupcakes. Earlier, Israel came with 2 sheet cakes for the party. She wasn't feeling very well so she had to go home to rest. Thanks dear Israel & hope that you feel better real soon. The girls put up the blue streamers & balloons & the room took on a festive mood. We sent up the table where the food was to be & the other table where the presents were to be. The Elim girls brought in 2 new strollers plus many baby gifts for the two moms & $50 dollars each for the girls to buy what what needed. The pizza man had arrived with the 2 extra large pizza & the 30 chicken wings. We put out the soda & Sunny Dee & now we were waiting for the guests to arrive, which they did. We had our 2 girls & their family & friends & our friends coming in for the celebration of 'new life'. Praise God!! We ate, played game & ate some more & opened up presents for our girls. Our one girl, who thought she was going to have a boy, was now having a girl. Those ultrasounds sometimes are missed read but now we know for sure. So instead of David we have a Shinita. The party was lead by our 4 Elim Institute girls & they did a great job!! Everyone left, after a 2 hour party. Before everyone left we had a prayer to thank God for the gift of 'life' with the Our Father Prayer.
After the one family had left, the other mom came up to me & told me that she just, found out tonight, that her 2 daughters had an RU 486 abortion at Planned Parenthood. I told her that they deceived her daughters about 2 years ago & they didn't tell them what the pills, that they gave them, were for. The girls thought that they were pre natal vitamins & took the pills & their babies were killed. I gave the mother a card that read 1-888 U Can Sue & I told her that I would be with her, if she decides to sue Planned Parenthood, or for any support that she needed during this difficult time. I gave her post abortive information. She went over to the door where I have the abortion procedure diagrams & she looked at it & said "this is murder". I said "yes it is". She was upset for what she just had found out. I don't know who told her but I guess it was her pregnant daughter for I think it is bothering her. The mom said that she never knew & if she did there would have been NO abortions, in this family. Poor lady she came for her daughter's Baby Shower only to find out that she had lost 2 grandchildren to the murderous Planned Parenthood, two year ago. Hopefully she will call that number & can sue this evil organization for what they did to her family. My heart goes out to her. The Elim girls & Martha & I helped to clean up & we all had a great time, during the party.
Thursday, March 18, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood
When we arrived on the sidewalk, the abortionist Rachael Phelps, was not there. I am cautious for sometimes she shows up later on. When I was standing there I saw a woman walking on the other side of the street. I called over to her & asked if she would like a Rosary. She said "poor babies, poor babies". I said "you are so right". I said "they are killing little babies here at Planned Parenthood" & just then one of the workers came from behind the bushes to go to the mailbox to mail a letter that was in her hand. Then the lady hollered over to me that they wanted her to abort but she all 3 of her children". I said "yeah! do you need any children clothes"? She said back to me that her children are all grown up". The last thing I said to her was "you don't look old enough to have grown children". She said "thank you" with a smile on her young face. She must have been a teenager when she had her first baby, at least. She was a breathe of fresh air! Martha & Paul were out there on the sidewalk with the signs & the literature box. Paul was nice enough to bring me a Wendy's hamburger for my lunch later on when I start to feel weak. I put the peanut butter & jelly sandwiches back in the refrig for a later day. Suzanne just arrived, our Thursday afternoon counselor, so I went to the center to talk with her, for a few minutes, to catch her up on what happened on Tuesday. Just before I left to go to the center there was a car that pulled in with 2 guys & a young girl. They pulled up right in front of the building to let her out. She was wearing a back pack, which isn't a good sign, for the girls sometimes bring extra clothes with them if they need to change into after the abortion, my heart dropped. I knew that the abortionist, was probably going to be here to do abortions later on, in the afternoon. When the 2 guys pulled out of the driveway I told them that if they dropped her off, to have an abortion, that they will be held accountable, for this murder. They just had a smirk on their faces & sped out onto the street. I felt sick. I then left Martha & Paul, to take over, & I went to the center, to talk with Suzanne. While I was in the center, I noticed that Paul had put my burger & ice tea in the office, so 'to kill 2 birds with one stone' I decided to eat while I was talking with Suzanne. It worked out pretty well, for I don't have to eat out on the street now, which I hate to do. Maybe I should just fast while I'm out there at times. I just don't want anyone to have to pick me up, from the sidewalk, if I faint. After I was finished with giving Suzanne, all the assignments, I went back to be with the team. When I got back with them I checked the parking lot to see if the abortionist was there now & sure enough she was. My heart sank. Now I know that she was going to kill innocent babies here today. Just then I saw that the Death Escort was walking up the sidewalk to put on the apron of death as she escorts the victimizers to victimize their children. We are there for the undecided ones that are on the fence that they will fall on our side of the yard. We are there for everyone & only hope & pray that none of them will go into Planned Parenthood to have their precious babies be murdered by Rachael Phelps. We prayed, protested & handed out some Truth packets, Rosaries & DVD's, to people walking by us & driving out of Planned Parenthood. Our friendly school bus driver passes us by & honks & waves at us, every time when we are out on the front lines. We waived back with smiles on our faces. He energies us. A young woman drove by & gave us the 'bird'. I called to her, as she was diving by us to, "repent & we can help you". It's really so very sad. Cars came in & out of Planned Parenthood, I don't know how many beautiful babies that the abortionist murdered here today, one is too many. Lord have Mercy on her soul & all that work or are silent, in the Abortion Holocaust, in America. Martha, Paul & I packed up around 3:30pm today because Martha & I had an appointment, at Birthright in Pittsford, at 4pm. We had a great meeting with Joan, the Director & Kathy the Co-Director of this great pregnancy center, which is the oldest here in Rochester, NY. They blessed with lots of great information to take back with us to the Focus Center to better help our clients. We took the tour & what a set up they have at their center. Jane't came later & was blessed also by this experience. We left feeling that we better know what Birthright does in the community & that know a little more in what we do too, in the city, next to the Killing Mill, Planned Parenthood.
Friday, March 19, 2010 at the Focus Center also it is the Solemnity Feast of St. Joseph, who is the Foster Father of Jesus I went to the Mass at Our Lady of Victory/ St. Joseph's & after the Mass I went to par take at the St. Joseph's Table in the community room. The food was delicious & Father had made the red cake with cream cheese frosting, yummy. I told him that he was a great preacher & baker, he smiled, for he is a humble man. I got to connect with many of my dear friends all in one room. It was a great & blessed time. I invited John & Bill to come to the center to help me out with some things & they both agreed to. I asked the guys to make up some Truth packets & I was in the office to do some paper work. I got up to do something & I noticed come one walking in the hallway. I asked her if she was looking for the Taxi company. She said "no, I'm looking for the pregnancy center". I said "my name is Mary & I'm the director here what can I do for you"? She said that she just learned about us from her school. A student did a paper about abortion & she received her materials from this center & she said that the people here were very nice. I said "did she have 7 children"? She said "yes". I said to her "she was the nice lady that was coming out of the Planned Parenthood parking lot on Wednesday & she did a paper on Thursday, wow she is a quick study". "Please say hi to her from me when you see her again & thanks". Then the young girl told me why she was here. She said that she had a friend that was abortion minded. One minute she wants to have the baby & the other minute she wants to abort the baby. I said to her that she came tot he right place. She said that her friend was to meet her here, so in the meantime I gave her friend lots of information. A few minutes later her friend came in to join us. I spoke with her for awhile then gave her some information to take with her. I also told her that she had a great friend that would support her in her pregnancy & we would too. She smiled. I gave the friend a Bible to take with her & encouraged them both to join a church to nourish their souls.
Tuesday, March 23, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
I feel like a failure today. I don't want pride to get in, for I know that we are God's instruments & He is with us & in control. The afternoon was rainy & dingy. It felt more evil than usual. The hearts of men have grown cold. There was Martha, & Mary S. & Donna, on the sidewalk, with me. And, in the center working was, Sandy & Melody & later came Mary K. & her daughter Rachel. We were blessed with bags of terrific clothes, from Maria, at Browncroft Community Church. The clothes were all so good & beautiful, for our clients children. We did have a couple come in & receive some clothes for their 2 year old boy, which was a blessing for them. They were very grateful. We were glad to help them.
A car drove out with a black young girl & a white male. Mary S. offered her the Truth packet & the guy driving was not receptive & wouldn't let her receive it. He also made a rude & disgusting comment to Mary S.. It was though this girl was his prisoner or he was her pimp? I hope not. He was rude & unyielding to her needs in getting the Truth. I hope she sees him for what he is & leaves him. Or that he repents & is converted to the love & power of the Lord. Today a 'Blood Bath'. So many cars came into Planned Parenthood & it seemed that there were 2 in each car, a guy & a girl. Also, there were stop & drop & pick ups. I felt powerless & that I was in quick sand & I couldn't get out. I felt that I did no good here today.
A man was walking down the sidewalk & for the first time, in 14 years, a person was almost hit by a car that was coming out of Planned Parenthood's parking lot. She missed him by a breathe. We were not talking to her, so we were not distracting her. The man was visibly upset. I said thank you Lord. I always feel that there are angels protecting the cars coming out of the 'parking lot of death' for there has never been an accident, in the 14 years that we have been protesting, on the sidewalk. Today was the closest that anyone ever came of getting hit. God is great!!
Two young girls came walking up the sidewalk & stopped to talk to us. They said that they were going in for a check up, for they had no insurance & this place was downtown which was convenient for them because they take the bus. I gave the one girl a Truth packet & a doctors list & I told her to put it away, for Planned Parenthood will try to take it away or if not them maybe the Death Escort, Linda Mock might try. The one girl said that they will get it when they come back out. I said that would be fine & if no one is here then come to the center which is next to this big yellow building. We had our pregnancy center sign on the sidewalk for them to see. They agreed & went into the Killing Mill. They never came to the center so I wish now that I just gave them the Truth packets & didn't worry if someone in there would take it. It just felt like so much oppression in the spiritual realm today. Martha did say the Rosary & the Mercy prayers, so there was prayer power. The wind was always putting the signs down on the ground so most of our time was picking them up. There were nice & nasty people driving by & our favorite school bus driver did let us know that he approved in what we were doing out there in front of Planned Parenthood. The police & fire truck & ambulance drove by. All in a typical afternoon. I felt that the world is getting darker by the minute. The looks on these people faces were blank, with no affect. It was scary. Two hours later, after talking to them earlier, they came out of Planned Parenthood. The parents & daughter & probably the brother or boyfriend came out all together & drove away. I said to them coming out, for them to repent for the sin of murder, if that is what they did in there. Lord have Mercy on ALL the people that killed their babies today & everyday. I felt like I did no good today for anyone. Lord have Mercy on me, too.
Wednesday, March 24, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood I was in the center when Martha arrived, about 1:10pm. Martha had put her fettachini, that she made for our supper, in the refrigerator. I had two young girls come in with a little baby girl who was 5 weeks old, for some baby clothes. Her sister who was with her was pregnant & was not sure yet if she was going to have a boy or a girl. So I said to her that when she knows she could come back to get some clothes for her baby. She took a green onesee for her baby. Her sister, with the baby gir,l took a real pretty pink dress with shoes. I said "this dress is for an older child & she said that this was to be her daughters Easter dress. for she was 9 lbs.. The dress was a 2T. I didn't want to wrestle with this dilemma, for she was the first to see the dress & the baby will grow into it, probably to wear it for next year, for Easter. I shouldn't get so picky. I thanked them both for 'choosing life' for their children & gave them some information & then said good bye to them. I asked them how they knew about us & the one girl, with the baby, said "someone from Planned Parenthood told us about this place". I said "someone at Planned Parenthood told you about us"! She said "yes, there were people in front of Planned Parenthood who said that you had free baby clothes & we stopped by, for this was a couple of days ago, that someone told us about you". Now it makes more sense. It was us, on the sidewalk, that told them about us. Oh yeah!! They were very happy when they left.
Martha & I were kept busy for a few minutes more & I decided to go to the sidewalk to see if the abortionist, Rachael Phelps, was there at Planed Parenthood, she was. So I went back into the center to tell Martha that we had better get out there to the front lines. We hurried to get the signs out & the literature box ready to sidewalk counsel. As we were getting things ready to go out I had noticed a young woman dressed very nicely walking around, like she was lost. I said to her "can I help you". She said that was meeting a friend so I said "okay" & continued to walk to my post by the tree in front of Planned Parenthood. After a few minutes the woman was walking up the sidewalk towards Planned Parenthood. Oh no I thought. Sure enough she walked into the parking lot. Martha & I called out to her that this was an abortion mill that kills babies. She was then greeted by her friend. They walked passed us talking with such excitement at their meeting & going towards our parking lot at the strip mall, where the lost girl had her car. I though that they would get into her car & off the would go. But no. A few minutes, to my SHOCK, from around the bushes comes walking out was the abortionist Rachael Phelps, I was sick to my stomach. I said to her "how many babies have you killed, one is to many". She's now walking down the sidewalk towards our strip mall & into the restaurant there, which is 2 doors down from us at our pregnancy center. She was meeting her 2 friends there for lunch. My heart ached. I took the sign of the aborted baby & stood right in front of the restaurant, on the sidewalk. Just then a young guy in a pick up truck hollered an obscenity to me as he drove by. Probably a post abortive male. How sad. I stood there calling out her name & what she does at Planned Parenthood etc. for about 35 minutes. Just before she came out of the restaurant, a nice lady puled her van over to me & told me her name & that she had a high chair for me. Oh yes, I remember your email, come follow me into the Material Aid Room. She dropped off a beautiful high chair for one of out clients. I spoke with her for a few minutes & I was still looking out to see if the abortionist was leaving the restaurant. I said good bye to the nice lady that dropped off the high chair & went back to the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. Just then Cleveland, our street friend, comes walking down the sidewalk asking for Ramon noodles. I couldn't believe it!! I'm feeling numb & the abortionist, who has murdered thousands of children in cold blood for $$$ is in the restaurant, two doors down from our pregnancy center, were we save lives through the grace of God, & Cleveland is asking me for Ramon noodles. Life goes on in his life. It felt horrible & a little scary that a serial killer, was a stones throw away from me. I felt sick, my body was in trauma & I was shaking in the inside. She & her girlfriends finally came out of the restaurant. The one girl got into her car & was pulling out of the parking lot when I said to her "what happened to you"? Off she goes. I walked behind the abortionist & her friend calling out to Martha & Valerie, that the abortionist was coming back. The abortionist had to walk right in front of the sign of the precious aborted baby Malachi, which we had leaned next to the tree. She couldn't look & probably felt nothing, as she passed by, to get back to the Killing Mill. She pulled out of the driveway with her friend with the short hair about an hour later. I said "repent for killing children & hurting women". Martha thinks the girl with her is a Medical Student that the abortionist, Phelps is training to do abortions. God only knows. This was very upsetting for me & for Martha & Valerie, who had come to join us on the sidewalk just before the abortionist showed her evil face. It was hard on all three of us.
When I finally arrived, at my post to join Martha & Valerie, I noticed that they were speaking to a girl who was had stopped to talk with them. When I approached, I heard the young woman say something about if the baby was unwanted. I lit into her like a match, for I had just experienced, the same air as an abortionist, a few minutes earlier, so I wasn't going to hear about devaluing life. I told her, in a stern voice, that all life is precious & there are no unwanted babies, in the eyes of Almighty God, who created us all. She left to walk into Planned Parenthood, the 'haven of death'. No love or hope there behind their doors. Martha told me that she shared that her mother was a crack addict & that she had a terrible life. Not to sound insensitive but welcome to the club. I know that I have suffered growing up in a dysfunctional family life, filled with evil. Please survivors, of a hellish existence, please don't devalue your life or anyone else's. God is crying, for God doesn't make junk & He loves you so very much that He died on a cross for yours & my sins, to give us Heaven for all eternity. Things will get better Martha told her & you survived & you have to forgive your mother & yourself. She was in Planned Parenthood for about 45 minutes, nothing new there, & when she came out I called out to her again, with words of love & encouragement. Maybe I was to hard on her, God forgive me.
Just then another young girl had gone to her car & I spoke sternly with her for being at an abortion mill. I saw her coming towards us through the bushes. There she was in front of me. I try to hand her a Truth packet & she said "no". Then she said that she didn't believe in abortion & was hear for a blood test. Martha, in her gentle voice said "you could be my daughter, sweet girl". She smiled. I calmed down & so did she. We began to talk. She said that she was at Planned Parenthood for a pregnancy blood test. I said that we could do a pregnancy test right now in the center & the tests that we use are used in hospitals. She said that she just had a blood test which is more accurate. She made mention of some things so I asked her to wait & I would go into the center to get her some information. When I came back out she was still there talking to Martha & Valerie. She said that she could be about 13 weeks pregnant. I asked if she had an symptoms & she said that she did. I said "why don't you come follow me into the center for a yellow or green onesee. She smiled & followed me into the Material Aid Room. When we got there she started to look around the room. It is jam packed with so many nice things that we just got blessed with. She found a green & white onesee with frogs on it. Then she said that she didn't believe in abortion only if the girl was raped. I said that I had been gang raped when I was 21 & became pregnant & I didn't have an abortion but I did miscarry my twins. She then said that she also had been raped several times & she's just 20 years old. She also had a miscarriage of twins. She said that she even named her twins & told me their names. I told her my babies names which are Jessica Rose & Aaron Joseph. I gave her a big hug, for we were both still hurting. I talked with her for awhile & then gave her Compass Care's number if she is pregnant & wants an ultrasound & also a name of a Social Worker to talk to about the rapes & miscarriages. She was thankful for all this information. Then she told me that when her mother became pregnant she went to Planned Parenthood for pre natal & they told her to abort. She left the facility immediately & went to another clinic for pre natal care. Our young girl was the one that Planned Parenthood wanted to abort 20 years ago. I said I really don't know how you could go to the very organization that wanted you dead & was willing to do it? She said that she didn't have insurance so I gave her more information that could help her. We walked back to the sidewalk & we said good bye there. I asked her, if our counselor Suzanne could call her on Thursday, to see how she was doing, she said that would be fine. Good bye sweet girl. God is with you to help & to heal you & we are hear for you too.
Thursday, March 25, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Great news again!!! We, at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, welcome baby boy Joandri, into the world, born on March 2nd . coming in at 6lbs.11oz. Mother & son are doing well. We thank God that she 'Chose Life' instead of abortion, at Planned Parenthood, last year. God is Great!!! We are also happy to announce that we have a baby boy due in April, we gave the mom a Baby Shower at the Focus Center, last week. Also, we have two moms that will deliver in May. Many more babies are due this year. Praise God!!! Thank you for your love, prayers, time, financial support & donations, to the work of the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, 2 doors down from Planned Parenthood. You are 'special' & we thank God for you. We couldn't do this ministry without you. It is a team effort. Our babies are your babies too!!!
When you think that everything is fine, with your neighbors, you find out that they still hate you. Ick!! John & I were setting up the sidewalk with our usual signs in the usual places when Buckpitt got all bent out of shape, again. John, who was putting up the signs, put the one sign up to far on the pole, by the driveway of Buckpitt who is the business right next to Planned Parenthood. A red van was coming into the driveway & stopped. I gathered that he was telling him to put down the sign, which is what I was about to do. The van pulled intot he parking lot & all I said to John was "it was a cope out". I guess what I meant was that the signs aren't really a problem for Buckpitt for when they pull out of their driveway they have to pull out far enough to see both sides of the on coming traffic, well pass the pole with our signs on it. I guess that's what I meant. Well the guy got out of the red van & went ballistic. It was the owner, David. He started to disrespect me right away & even used a four letter word to express his unfounded anger. If you're having a bad day don't take it out on me. John got involved in the action & he was walking away, when David the owner called him back, to rage his truant on to him. I just told John to just keep on going into the center, which he did, otherwise it would have been 2 guys locking horns, over what??? David went into his building & I was glad. About 10 minutes later Kim, who works there & is very friendly, came out & waved at me. I approached her & said that I didn't want any trouble & I really don't know what just happened a few minutes ago. I am sorry that he misconstrued what had just taken place. She said in a quiet voice "I think that he called the police". What ! Over what?? She said that she would go back in to ask him to cancel the call but he didn't. It was about 45 minutes later the police came & went into Buckpitt. David came out swinging. He stood right in front of the police officer raising his voice & saying things about our street ministry & sated that he wanted a report. How sad, this guy is out of control. I thought that we had made progress with him over the past year. I even wished him a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. I wouldn't take it back. The police officer came over to me & I told him our side of the story. I told him that we are coming against Planned Parenthood, not Buckpitt, for we have enough to do in trying to save lives from being killed there. We were fixing the problem with the sign, when David went out of control. The officer stated that the owner of Buckpitt had some issues. 1. That the signs that we put in front of his building looked like harassment. (NO). 2. That we are in the driveway that is closed off. (YES). 3. That we were harassing his customers, verbally. (NO) 4. That we were harassing his customer with our signs in their faces. (NOT!!) Where are you getting this from, my friend?? Yes, were are in his short driveway, that he doesn't use, in order to call out to the girls not to kill their babies & he should be supportive of that. What kind of a person is he? Lord have Mercy!
I went into the center to speak with Suzanne for a few minutes & when I came out I saw that there were 2 police cars & an ambulance, in the parking lot, of Planned Parenthood. I figured right away that they were there to pick up a rape victim & sent her to the hospital for examination. One of the workers at this Death Camp was talking to, I assume, the girls mother. I had to tell here that Planned Parenthood doesn't report statuary rape & they kill little babies here too. I said that I was a rape survivor & that I wound never come here for counseling & that we can help her. When the ambulance pulled out of the driveway I said to the girl in the back that we loved her & that it wasn't her fault & please don't come here for counseling. As her probable mother pulled out with her car form the parking lot that we are with her & her daughter. My heart sank for I know that she has a long road ahead, for help & healing & forgiveness, hopefully without Planned Parenthood. Mary K. & her 2 children, Paul & Rachel, came onto the sidewalk to pray & to witness. We also had a woman & her 2 children, with signs, on the brick side of the building to pray & to witness. We were back at sidewalk counseling when a car with 2 young women & a sweet little girl, who was in the back seat, in a car seat drove in. The car stopped at the driveway & they were given a Truth packet. They went into the parking lot but didn't get out of the car & then came back out of the driveway & stopped, to talk to us. I then spoke with the woman & said that we had children clothes in the center right next to the yellow building. The driver of the car said that they had to go but could come back another time. Martha said "why don't you come over now to get some things for your sweet little girl". I then said "come follow me'. which they did. I rang the doorbell to make Suzanne aware that we had a client & then walked in with them to the Material Aid Room. As I was speaking to the one woman I knew that she needed to spend some time with Suzanne. The other woman with the little girl stayed in the Material Aid Room to get some thing for her 2 children. They were from down South & needed many things for a new beginning. I said "take what you need for now & then you can come back another tine for more". She agreed that was a good idea. Suzanne was doing a pregnancy test & calling Compass Care, a pro life medical facility, for an appointment for later that day & also Matthew's Closet, for more things that they would need, for their new start here in Rochester. Rachel, came in from outside because she was cold & I asked her to supervise the little girl while the mom was getting things for her family. She did a great job. All was well & they were in good hands so I went back outside to be with the team. About 20 minutes later a car drove by & honked & waved, it was our girls, that were just in the Focus Center, saying thank you & good bye. Our pleasure ladies.
It was 4 o'clock now & Jane't was there for our 'praying & sharing' session. There was John, Bill & I, for Martha had to go to get her homemade soup to church, for the 'poor man's' supper. We had a blessed hour and a half of sharing & praying. Jane't & I ate together & then we went home. What a day!!!
Saturday, March 27, 2010 March on Planned Parenthoodhttp://backpew.blogspot.com/2010/03/march-on-planned-parenthood.html My Two Favorite People!!
Tuesday, March 30, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Today is my birthday. The big 60. Don't look it nor act it. Something's wrong!! Martha was with me at Mass, what a blessing for her to be with me, on my 'special' day. When we arrived, at the center, we put some things away & Martha was fixing my birthday cake, in the meeting room. It was a chocolate cake with creamy frosting with marshmallow chickens on it, for it was close to Easter. It was delicious, as I had some later on that evening. Martha went out to the front lines & Mary S. & Donna joined her, on the sidewalk. I had to be in the center to give Sandy, our Tuesday afternoon counselor, some directions. After I did that Scott came in to put up the new shelves, on the wall by the door, in the Material Aid Room, so we could use them for our food shelves. He had to go back to Home Depot, in Greece, for they didn't give him the right screws, for the shelves. Sorry about that Scott. He came back later to finish the job. Great job Scott, now we can function better in the Material Aid Room. Tomorrow Bill will be by, to bring in the new cabinet that he made, to put our street signs in. Can't wait. MORE TO COME!!
Tuesday, April 6, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
Martha & I went to Mass & then went to the center to do our work. Before that I stopped Tim & asked him if he had a refrigerator for the meeting room in the center & he said that he did. Yeah!! It is a small one but that will work. Thank you Lord for providing for our needs. When we arrived to the center Sandy was waiting for us to work in the Material Aid Room. Then Mary S. showed up to witness the Truth to the victims at Planned Parenthood. Then Donna came to also witness the Truth to the people. She decided to go to the other side of the sidewalk right in front of Planned Parenthood, witnessing the Truth with the sign that we show of the decapitated head of a precious baby that was killed by abortion. When I arrived to the front lines I noticed that the abortionist Rachael Phelps car was not in the parking lot. I'm not sure if she didn't have an abortionist substitute today, but I feel in my spirit that there was no abortions done this afternoon. Yeah!! I went into the center to get a ham & cheese sandwich that I made for Martha & I, for our lunch. We eat & witness. I also went into the center, to put in an order to the American Life League, for brochures for our Truth packets. The only thing was that I couldn't reach anyone. I'll try again tomorrow. When I was in the center the doorbell rang & there was our dear lady & her son Mitchell getting some things that they need. Go ahead, for we are blessed with lots of clothes. After they left the doorbell rang again & there was Martha with a young woman who was in need of clothes for her 2 year old son. Go ahead for we are blessed with many nice things.
I went back outside to be with Martha & Donna. When I arrived Martha told me that she stopped a man walking down the street asking if he would like a Rosary to pray. He said that he would. Then he told his story. His wife had killed 5 of his children by abortion. She would say "I'm going to get rid of it". He finally woke up & left her. He is now married to another woman & has children & grandchildren. When he told the story, he cried. Martha said to him that he is a Forgotten Father. She gave him some information to help him. The best to you dear man, so sorry for your many losses. God forgive us for our sins. I was speaking to two women who was holding small children. It's hard to see everything through the bushes that Planned Parenthood has put up to block our view. The older woman came towards me & was saying that 20 years ago that she had an abortion & that she has 2 children. I told her that she had 3 children & one of them is dead. As she was saying this I told her of Project Rachel & Silent No More Awareness Campaign, to get the help & healing that she desperately needs. She was not open for this help. I told her that she was Post Abortive & that she needs help. I only hope & pray that she gets it. I offered her free baby clothes for the young children, that were with her. But to no avail. She got into the car along with a young girl & the 2 young children & as she came out of the driveway the young passenger gave us her middle finger. She probably was the daughter, of the woman, who had an abortion 20 years ago. Generational sin.
The Death Escort, Linda Mock, was dressed in the blue apron of death. I said to her "are you post abortive Linda"? Most of the women who work at abortion mills & the death escorts that bring the victims into the abortion mills, are usually post abortive. I said that there is help for her.
A woman, who had just pulled, into the parking lot, who had parked close to where we were standing, showed no emotion when I told her what was going on in Planned Parenthood. I told her that she scared me more than the people that would react, for they still had a conscious. As she was driving out of the parking lot I said to her that I hoped that someday soon she will realize what is really going on in Planned Parenthood. One only hopes. I then saw 3 young people standing, in the parking lot of Planned Parenthood, smoking. Two guys & one young girl. I offered her help at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center. She flipped out on me. She said for me to shut up & said very disrespecting words to Martha. Then she started to walk towards us as if to beat the brains out of us. She was restrained by the two guys that were with her smoking. I told them that she didn't need to be comforted for bad behavior. I invited her to come to talk to us & that we cared about her but nothing worked. My heart goes out to all the people & sometimes the one who is the nastiest is the one that hurts the most. It started to rain & John had just came, so it was time for us to go inside, to do some work in the center, & to talk about our future plans & to eat my chicken supper that I brought, along with potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce & Martha had brought butternut squash with spinach & pumpkin seeds. Yummy!! Melody showed up earlier to do some work in the Material Aid Room, so it was 4 for supper tonight.
Wednesday, April 7, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
Martha & I got to the center after Mass, downtown. We did a couple of things in the center & Material Aid Room & went out to the front lines to witness. I always look first to see if the abortionist is there & she wasn't. I was so happy. But things change quickly on the front lines, which they did today. The abortionist Rachael Phelps drove in about 45 minutes later. My heart sank. We continued to call out to the people driving into the abortion mill to try to save their baby from being killed. I had to go back into the center for a few minutes & while I was there the doorbell rang & it was Martha bringing in a young woman to receive some baby clothes. I stayed with the woman until she was finished with her shopping & then went back out to be with Martha. The weather was changing very fast it was starting to rain & it was windy & cold. We weathered it for awhile & then Martha said that she was going into the center, for she catches colds, real easily. For her sake I went with her into the center. I was sad because there was no one else out there who could have stayed with me while Martha went into the center. We are getting more people to come out on the front lines & will get more people in the summertime, but I have to look out for the health of our dear Martha, who gives, so much, of her time & energy for the cause. We put all the signs in the hallway to dry & then we went into the meeting room to eat our lunch. About an hour later Maria came in for she was to start today working as a counselor. Since we weren't out there on the sidewalk bringing the clients into her she decided to talk to us for awhile & then leave. She will be back next Wednesday to witness out on the sidewalk.
It was 4pm now & the four Elim girls came to help us in the center & the Material Aid Room. They told me that next week was their final day, for two of the girls will be graduating & school will be over. I was sad to hear this for I thought that they would be coming until June. Goofy me! We talked for awhile mostly about the new changes that will be going on, in the center, for we want to rent the room, across the office, to be our counseling/conference room/literature room. After we discussed the ins & outs two of the girls went into the office to work on the computer & the other two girls went to the Material Aid Room to work putting away baby clothes that we just received. I kept them busy. They said good bye around 6pm & I gave each of them a hug good bye & said for them to drive carefully & that we will see them next week. After they left John came in & Martha wasn't feeling good so she left to go home to get some rest. I fixed John a plate of food & then, he worked on the computer, writing a letter to the churches, asking for donations from their Tithing Committee, for the work of the center. We left around 9pm to go home. Another busy day. Praise God!!
Thursday, April 8, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood This was a day from 'hell'. It started out that Martha came to the center & was discussing some things before going out to the front lines. One thing that we discussed was having a 'surprise Birthday party' for Suzanne, our Thursday counselor, but as we discussing it she came into the office so I'm not sure if she heard Martha & I talking about it, or not. I still hope that it will be a surprise. I'm going to make carrot cake cupcakes, for she is a healthy eater. We then all three discussed that it would be best to ask the client the questions on the Intake Sheet instead letting them fill it out. Okay, that's a good idea if we don't have two girls come in at the same time. The answer was for one of the clients to wait until the other gets done, so the Intake Sheet has the right information for Suzanne to do a follow up phone call. It would be easier for her to have the correct information & also as much information as possible, in order to help the clients during & after their pregnancies. Team work is best. After that Martha & I went out to the front lines to counsel the Truth to others. Bill was already there witnessing across the street. We waved to him & he waved back at us. He's the oldest pro lifer, who is now 81 years old, & he still comes out on the front lines every Thursday form 1-3pm. What a trouper you are Bill. We love you!! It wasn't to long that we were out there that 2 young girls, were walking up the street, towards Planned Parenthood. I asked them if they needed a pregnancy test & they said "yes". I said "come follow me", which they did into the center. I rang the doorbell, to notify Suzanne, that she has a client & she came to the door to greet the new clients, for a free pregnancy test. I then went back to be with Martha. She was saying the Rosary & I was counseling. The weather was better today & we were now dressed to warmly because yesterday was so cold & rainy & damp, we thought that today was going to be the same, we were wrong. Earlier we were both changing into some cooler clothes, thank God for our Material Aid Room, for it has been a blessing to us too. I noticed that we had only 2 Truth packets left so I said to Martha, "how about I go into the center to make up some more Truth packets"? She said "go ahead I have Bill with me". "Okay" I said & off I go into the Material Aid Room to make up some packets for our clients. As I was coming into the center I noticed a young girl walking into the center, for the door hasn't been fixed yet by the Landlord, so it doesn't close tight & that means that anyone can walk right in. I'm sure glad that she was a nice person. I asked he if I could help her & she said that she has been here before & needed some clothes for her 2 year old daughter. I said "get what you need" & then I called Suzanne, to be with her, to help find things. I couldn't make up any packets, in the room, until our client leaves, for I have to pull out 2 tables that are right in front of the children's clothes. So I waited for her to finish. When I came back from being in the other room she was on the phone. After she got off I asked if she needed a ride home & she said "yes". I asked the Taxi B company, which is right down the hall, how much it would cost for a Taxi to Portland Ave. Christina said it would be about $6. I told the client but she said that she didn't have the money. I then thought of Martha. I went outside & asked Martha if she would take her home, for she got a couple of big items & couldn't carry them all. Martha said "yes" & she helped her put the things in her car & off they went to a street off of Portland Ave. Thanks Martha you're terrific!! Jerry came to pray on the brick side of Planned Parenthood right in front of the building. He set up signs & was praying, on his knees. I was on the side where the tall bushes are & Bill was still across the street with his sign, we had Planned Parenthood covered on all sides. I saw that the Death Escort today was Barry Swan. I still try to tell him the Truth & the evil that he is doing at Planned Parenthood but to no avail. After he left two strange looking girls came to take his place as Death Escorts. While Martha was taking our client home I stood by my post witnessing & counseling. I noticed a woman on a bicycle with real long hair all the way down her back in a pony tail. I remember saying to myself that I don't think I want my hair to get that long, though it has a couple more inches to go. Well, all of a sudden she turns her bike around & there she was right next to me on the sidewalk. I didn't know what to expect but I learned quickly that she was a nice person. She said that she sees us out here weekly, though I don't remember seeing her, on the days that we are out here. Then she was looking at the graphic pictures & then she said "my daughter just had one". I said "your daughter just had a baby"? She replied "no, my daughter just had an abortion & I tried to talk her out of it & now she's crying all the time & I'm so sad too". "I'm now worried about her soul, for I told her that God will take care of her & the baby but she did it anyway". My heart sank for this caring woman & connected with her pain. She described her daughter's situation. I told her that killing her baby wasn't going to solve her problems but will add more problems to her list, she agreed. I told her that abortion is intrinsically evil, which means it's always evil under no circumstances. In the situation where the life of the mother is threatened then you try to save both mother & child & trust in the Lord to have His way, for He is the author of life. In the situation of a rape & incest, you don't kill another human being, for the crime of the father. From the 'Priest for Life' web site: ‘Thou shalt not…’ - Why abortion is evil.... http://www.priestsforlife.org/magisterium/bishops/olmstedpart2.htm Then she told me that her other daughter has 2 children & is married & has an IUD in her. I told her about Natural Family Planning & that the IUD is an abortificant, which causes an early abortion, which is taking a life. I
invited her into the center to speak with Suzanne, our counselor & to
receive more information about the Natural way to space children when
married. She followed me into the center &I introduced her to Suzanne who helped her. I do hope to see her again some time. Nice lady & my heart goes out to her in her loss & in her pain.
Martha came back from running our client home with her items that she received form the Material Aid Room. I was hungry for it was nearing 3PM & I was starting to feel icky. Then Bill & Jerry came from across the street to where Martha & I were to say the Chaplet of Divine Mercy Prayers at 3PM. So I decided to join them in prayer & to wait to eat my peanut butter & jelly sandwich. We all finished the prayer in 10 minutes & Bill left to go home (which was good) for what was going to happen in less then 10 minutes would have set Bill into a tissey for he is old school when dealing with bullies, remember we do not advocate violence & he is 81 years old but he is a Korean Vet. So I was glad that he had just left to go home. What had happened was that Jerry that gone back to the brick side of Planned Parenthood to pray & Martha & I were on the tree side of Planned Parenthood. We were standing there, on the sidewalk, & as I was taking my last bite of my peanut butter sandwich with strawberry jam a car pulled along side of us. He had rolled down his window & began a truant for at least 20 or more minutes at us. He said sometime vulgar at Martha & I & I went on the defense to stand against this evil acting man. I didn't like what he said to us & Martha & I don't need to hers such a thing. So I said to him "go, get out of here or I'll call the police, I got your license number". In the
past this usually works & the person is off & running but not this guy. He
parks his car right behind Martha's car on the street right in front of the
business next door to Planned Parenthood, & gets out of his car & starts to walk up to us. I told him that I had his license number & am calling the
police. He didn't even twitch but I did because I didn't have my cell phone
on me so I knew that the only phone was in the office in the center & I
needed to get it. He was using more vulgarity & went into the parking lot
of Planned Parenthood & told the two Death escort girls who were standing by the door of Planned Parenthood that they were doing a great job & to keep it up. I tried to talk over him but her was right on their property screaming loudly. I felt sick to my stomach in what he just said. The guy that I was taking to in the car for 5 minutes earlier about abortion & Planned Parenthood honked his horn in agreement to what this crazy man was saying. 'Misery loves company'. I called Jerry over to be with Martha so that I could go into the center to get the phone to call 911. He came over. I was hoping that when he saw Jerry he would go but no he stayed & get keep on hollering. Martha asked him if he had paid for an abortion but he said "no, my wife just had a baby girl". I still think that he protested to mushily & that he was a post abortive male from a previous relationship & that when he saw the graphic sign Malachi, the aborted baby at 20 weeks on the sidewalk, he flipped out. He was a handsome male around 27 years of age or so with a dark blue shirt & beige pants, driving a black volks wagon car. Jerry was now with Martha so I went into the center to get our portable phone to call 911. He knew that I was going to call the police but it didn't phase him in the least. I spoke with the 911 operator & reported the incident & he told me to stay on the phone until the police gets there or this man leaves, which I did. I described the man for the operator & stayed away from him for the operator didn't want to escalate his rage. Martha & Jerry were trying to talk to him but he didn't care to what they were saying just what he was saying. I was waiting for the police & I was hoping that they would get there before he left but that didn't happen. I saw him getting into his car & as he passed me by he puled his head out the window to say something icky to me & at least the 911operator heard it to. I told the operator where he was heading which was downtown & said thank you & goodbye & that I will now wait for the police to arrive. The police arrived about less then 5 minutes later. The officer said that they were just changing shifts when they got the call. I said that was fine & Martha described the incident to the officers. I asked the officer who was driving if he would go to the house of the man to speak to him for he did raise his hand at us & said that he would be back again next week. The officer said that after he gets done with some things that he would stop by the man's house to speak to him. I said "thank you officer" & then they left. I then asked Martha what else did he say & she said that when she asked him the name of his baby daughter he gave a swear word in response to the question. He called us idolaters & that the people going into Planned Parenthood had a right to do so. Sure, as long they don't kill anyone or hurt themselves, which is what is going on
in there. We are our Brothers Keepers, the Bible says. This man was out of control & I do hope that the police goes to his house tonight to talk to
him. If he acts the way he did to us to the police & might be in jail at
the end of the day. His poor wife & baby daughter. We do hope & pray that he gets help real son & that he doesn't come back to harass us here on the sidewalk next week for I'll call the police again, I have his license
number & I will carry my cell phone in my pocket from now on!! To be on the safe side for we get this kinda stuff happening in better weather. Can't
wait for winter.
As I was still talking to Martha a young girl with a pacifier in her mouth & was carrying a baby in the carry all came over to me on the sidewalk. It was Katherine & she was bringing little Khy-mier for me to see. He is our RU 486 save last year. This baby only had about 1/2 hour to live a the mother swallowed the deadly pills & had 2 pills up into her cervix to push the baby out of her. This is called an Chemical Abortion. I was so glad to see them both. I asked if her grandmother was in the center & she said that she was. I hurried into the center to see Pat, our infamous grandmother who saved her 2 great grand babies, through the grace of God, from abortion. Little Akira is her other great grand baby & she is doing very well & is 14 lbs. now. She was born 1lb. 8ozs. in July & was due in November, 2009. Praise God for their survival. I visited with them for a awhile & after they left Jane't came in for our Thursday meeting group. Bill was there & so was John but Martha had to go. After the meeting John & I ate supper & did some work in the office. We went home around 9pm tonight. Stressful day but through the grace of God we got through it, once more.
Tuesday, April 13, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha & I arrived at the center along with Tony, Mary S. came & then Donna & John came about a half an hour later. What a team! I new that the sidewalk was covered so I stayed in the center to do some work & to put some things away & to set up the new Rose Room, that we are using now for counseling, instead of the office. It will be more pleasant & more private & more relaxing for we have a table instead of a desk, which is less intimidating. I always felt like I was the Principle & the clients were the students, that we sent by the teacher to the Principle's office, because they did something wrong. We want the clients to feel comfortable & to 'Choose Life' in a peaceful atmosphere. Sandy, our Tuesday counselor, wasn't coming today but will be back next week. I then went to the front lines to be with the team. Mary S. was on the side of Planned Parenthood by the brick & she had already gave out a Truth packet & so did Martha, for she & Tony & Donna were on the side, by the bushes. Just then a young girl came up the sidewalk & I approached her & offered her a free pregnancy test. She said that she was going to meet her sister there along with her little niece. She said that she will come back as soon as she picks up her niece who was 2 years old. I saw that she went over to the young girl, with the young child, who were sitting on the bench at Planned Parenthood. I was trying to talk to her for a long time, offering her free children clothes & free pregnancy tests., but she didn't respond. Only hours later I made some contact with her & brought her into the center to give her Compass Care information to get free STD testing, for her boyfriend & the father of her 2 children had cheated on her & she wanted to be tested. She went to Planned Parenthood & waited for hours, to be tested, but to no avail. They never saw her & she was mad. "What do you expect from an organization that is evil"? I said. She agreed. I gave her the information & she said that she will call Compass Care because she also wants to bring her girlfriend along with her for testing too. She needs to contact her girlfriend to see when it would be a good time for them both to go. So sorry girls.
I had to go back into the center & as I was leaving Martha was bringing the young girl, who was meeting her sister at Planned Parenthood, & she had her 2 year old niece with her. So Martha brought her into the Rose Room for the pregnancy test & the little girl went into the Material Aid Room to be with Melody, which helped her get real neat toys. After the pregnancy test, the mom went into the Material Aid Room to get some nice clothes for her. All is well with this nice family. I then went back to the front lines to be the team. Three girls walked into Planned Parenthood & we offered them a free pregnancy test & free baby clothes. The one girl rubbed her stomach & said that she was going in here for an exam & will come back out for baby clothes. We said "great we'll see you soon & please don't trust this place for they kill babies in there". I noticed that a woman was standing by her car with read American Red Cross & I approached the fence to speak with her. I asked if we could help her & what this place is all about. She said to me that she was told to bring a girl to Planned Parenthood from Genesso & she has been there since 10:15AM & it was now 1:45PM & she was miffed. I said that I hoped that the girl wasn't here for an abortion for the abortionist was here & that is what Planned Parenthood does & that it takes 2 to 21/2 hours. He replied back to me that she didn't know what the girl was here for. Donna handed her the Pregnancy Center's Help list which included Project Rachel, a post abortion ministry. She said "thank you" & we left her alone to continue her miffing. After their lunch as they were walking back from the restaurant, Rick Bartell & Eric, the two workers of evil there at Planned Parenthood, spotted the American Red Cross car & approached the driver. I said to her that these two men are responsible for many lives that were taken here at Planned Parenthood & not to trust them. After a few minutes they left. The young girl came out about 30 minutes later. She was there for 3 hours. The first thing that she said to the driver was "I'm sorry" & got into the car & off they went back to Genesso. She didn't act like she just had an abortion. Praise God!! A car had pulled along side of the sidewalk & stopped. Donna went over to the car & recognized the driver & greeted him. He had stopped awhile ago & I remember that Donna had spent a lot of time with him but was going no where. I had a crucifix in my hands as a witness & he bent over the car seat to say to me "is he Black". I said I'm not going there to your racist comment for He was Jewish", & walked away. I said if you're going to start something maybe you should speak to the police about & got out my cell phone, which I now have with me after the last Thursday's event. Instead of leaving he pulled in back of Martha's car. Deja Vu ! He got out & then I got his license number & pretended to call the police. John was saying something to him but I asked him not to engage with him, for we wanted him to go away, which he did, a few seconds later. Yeah!! It's that time of year when we get harassed the most because of better weather. I'm glad that I had my phone & did the 'pretend to call the police trick' & it worked. He drove by on Wednesday & flipped us the bird. Oh well, at least he didn't stop. I think Donna was hurt because she thought that he would be more receptive this time. Sorry Donna, it might take more time, don't give up.
Just then another car pulled up by the sidewalk & it was Officer Jim. WOW!! I haven't seen him in awhile since he retired. He's working for the RTS now. We spoke about some things but mostly about his sick son who is suffering with a rare disease caused by a virus. He might have to go down to Peru to get expensive treatment using the cells of the cord blood of babies. I hope & pray that his son goes into remission real soon & feels better. Jim loves his son so much. He said that he will stop by again soon. I love to see him because he was always protecting out on the front lines when he was assigned to watch us for 4 hours a couple of times during the week. He was the officer who arrested the young man that threw the container of pickles at me in the dark. It's not what he threw at me it's that he threw something at me in the night that could have hurt me. He spent the night in jail & had to do 20 hours of community service for his impetuous act. Hope that he's doing well now & has grown up. Martha was in the center, giving away some baby clothes, in the Material Aid Room & John was on the computer, working on the letter asking for donations, from private individuals & the churches. The rest of the team had gone. I was standing by myself, on the sidewalk, when & a car stopped along side of me. He said "I commend what you are doing". I said that about 30 babies have been saved, through this ministry, through the grace of God. He smiled & then drove away. How nice of him to take the time to stop & give me encouragement, in this important work, for the Lord.
There was a man, walking into Planned Parenthood, coming from the sidewalk. I called over to him & told him what Planned Parenthood does to children & their mothers & not to patronize such a place. He came out about 5 minutes later & walked over towards us. He said that he was representing the Downtown Information Center at 120 East Ave.. I said to him "are you are going to put Planned Parenthood, on your web site, for visitors to come here to Rochester, to kill their baby or receive the evil services, that Planned Parenthood renders? I said that we have a Pregnancy Center on University Ave.. I asked Martha to show him our center. I asked him to put us on their web site. He said "yes". I also gave him our pregnancy center brochure & the brochure 'Why We Oppose Planned Parenthood'. He thanked me & off he went with Martha, to the Focus Center, to take the tour. I hope that he means it & will put us on their web site!!!
Martha, Melody & John & I ate a terrific chicken supper with all the trimmings & then we finished our work, in the center & the Material Aid Room, around 10 PM, except for Martha, she went home earlier.
Wednesday, April 14, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
Martha wasn't going to be there today until later but John had showed up & we went out. In the 1 hour I did 2 pregnancy tests & handed out clothes from the Material Aid Room. Busy. I was hoping that Maria would show up but she'll probably come next week. Who knows. After I did the 2 pregnancy tests & counseled our clients & gave them information, in the new 'Rose Room', I went out to the front lines to be with John. Now Jerry was there along with Charles. They decided to go over to the brick side of the building to pray. I stayed at the side with the bushes with John to counsel by the tree. Martha showed up around 2 pm, for she was baking the cake, for our 4 Elim Bible Institute girls, whose last day was today, to be with us, helping out in the center. They were so very helpful in the office working on the computer & working in the Material Aid Room putting things away & organizing the room. They did a great job, all 4 of the girls. I will certainly miss them. Martha put the cake on top of the refrigerator & out she came. I was with her for a little while but because there was so many people out there on the sidewalk decided to go back into the center to do some work. I had to write up the 4 cards & tell the girls how much they were appreciated & will be missed. That took some time. I left the cards on the table along with a special key chain. Special for special girls. I was working at the desk when our regular lady came in all defensive. She said "I was told that you wanted to see me". I said "yes I do". I was told that you were here getting some things in the Material Aid Room yesterday. I would like for you to come on either Tuesdays or Wednesdays or Thursdays, not on Mondays. Rob is on the sidewalk & has to come into the center, at times, to hand out clothes & it's just to hectic for him on that day. She asked if she could get some more things & I said "yes" but only come once a month. She agreed & off she went into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her grandchildren. She came back into the office & I said " I will see you next month". & off her went with her bag of clothes. I heard the doorbell & Martha was bringing a young girl into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her child. I went back into the office to make some phone calls & do some paper work.
When I was finished I went back outside to be with the team. Martha told me that there was an incident, that just occurred but it was our fault. It was icky that the 2 Planned Parenthood male goofs came out to deal with it. I was happy that everything worked out okay with no problems or police. This is a Killing Mill & nothing trumps that they murder little babies in there. If they kill then they are crazy. It was resolved without incident & was no big deal that's for sure. Icky Planned Parenthood. We took the abuse of some passer- byes, on the street, one old guy drives by saying nasty things, please grow up sir & know that we are ladies. It was now heading for 4pm & our Elim girls will be coming. I couldn't wait to show them the new rose colored counseling room. The minute Becki saw it she exclaimed "how if we move this into the office & the office furniture with the literature be move into this room". Wow!! What an eye for details. "Lets do it" I exclaimed & the girls were at work at once moving furniture around like it was nothing. I was just watching. Even the Taxi guys were helping our girls move the big pieces of heavy furniture. They are so nice & helpful. It made so much of a difference the room change & it is beautiful now & so much more functional for our purposes!! Thanks girls, great job!! :)
Now it was time for cake & cards & key chains. Martha made the most delicious chocolate peanut butter cake that just melted in your mouth, yummy. Wish that I had thought to bring some milk, goofy me, bottled water worked out. It was a sentimental good bye. The very best to you 4 great girls & thank you for sharing your lives with us as we shared our lives with you. Go girls, go out & change the world!! In my heart always.
Thursday, April 15, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
Martha & I went to the center right after Mass downtown. We got everything set up outside & Bill was witnessing on the other side of the street. The Death Escort Silvia Rose, was with her friend the other Death Escort, cleaning up the trash on the property of Planned Parenthood. I told them that no matter what junk that they pick up it's still a dirty, rotten, filthy abortion mill. The one girl snickered. They just don't get it. Deaf, Dumb & Blind. All we can do is pray for them, they have to do the rest, by repenting. Hope that they do. I was agitated when I saw that a Mom & Dad went in with their baby. This scenario makes me ill. I spoke to them when they came out but the Death Escort Barry Swan started to talk to them. I said that "you're talking to the devil & please don't bring your precious baby into this horrible place where they kill babies". I said "that if you didn't want this baby, when he or she was in your womb, then Planned Parenthood would have killed your baby for $$$". There is such a blank look on some of these faces that my heart breaks. They just don't get it. I saw that a young guy was waiting outside & wasn't responsive to anything I was saying. "I hope that you're not waiting for your baby to be killed"? Nothing. Again the blank look on his face. So sad. Then there was a car filled with people. A girl got out & went in & the other 3 guys stayed outside. They were there for a couple of hours. I spoke to them & showed then our graphic signs. Blank. Here we go again. It was like I was talking to all ZOMBIES! Scary stuff. The girl came out & went into the car with her brown paper bag. I think that she had an abortion & as they left the parking lot I exclaimed to the "Lord have Mercy on your souls". My stomach was turning around in there. It was after 4pm & the abortionist was still there, of course. The more killing the better for her- more $$ in her pocket to go shopping. I said to the girls that would follow the Death Escort into Planned Parenthood that they had no boundaries that they shouldn't follow any guy that they don;t know anywhere. "Where are your boundaries girls". Then I called over to the Death Escort that he was a pervert, that what he was doing was perverted, leading girls into a building that kills people. He seemed to look, for the first time, a bit nervous. Maybe I hit a sore spot. He got into his car & went out of there. Bye Bye Barry! Valerie stopped her car & introduced us to her friend, that was with her. She dropped off 5 burned Mafia 21: Black Genocide DVD's to me. She hasn't been on the front lines for a couple of weeks but said that she was planning on coming back, has been very busy. "Okay" I said, I'll see when I see you. Off she went to fight the government.
I went into the center for a few minutes, Martha & John were out on the front lines. As I was going into the center a young couple were walking towards our building & I asked them if I could help them. She said that she needed a pregnancy test. I said "follow me". I introduced myself to them & then rang the doorbell, to give Suzanne our counselor a head start, to come to the door. I introduced them to Suzanne & off I go to do what I needed to do then left to go back outside again. Bill had dropped off some big signs of Malachi, the precious 20 week old baby that was aborted, & a big sign of a born baby smiling. I put one of the signs on the other side of the street as a witness & I held the other. About twenty minutes later Suzanne came out to tell us that we had another baby born. She was born on March 12th. little Anastasia Mane. She was 7 lbs. 1 oz. & was 19 inches long. Mother & baby were doing fine. Great news! :) Suzanne tries to call our clients every week to see how they are doing & sometimes it's hard reaching them but she finally reached our new mom & we all were blessed to learn the good news. She 'Chose Life' last year. Praise God for that. Congratulations dear one. Then I saw Eric. a worker at Planned Parenthood, leaving & I said to him "your priorities are all wrong, that leaning a sign, on your building, wasn't as bad as killing people in there". "Your priorities are all wrong", I said to him. Another blank look. Today was a day of the 'blank look'- looks. We stayed out for a little while longer & then went inside the center to eat a delicious roast beef & roasted potato supper & to do some work. Dan joined us for supper & conversation. We stayed late to finish our work.
Friday, April 17, 2010 at the Focus Center
Today, John went with me to a friends house to pick up the large table & chairs for our new 'Rose Room' in the center. He put it on his van & of we went to the center to put it in the room. Now we have a table & chairs, for counseling, literature table & comfortable chairs & lamps & a radio playing classical music throughout the day. We have pictures up & we put in a throw rug. Looks great!!
While we were there a young woman came into the Material Aid Room for some baby clothes. She was well pleased with what she received. What a blessed day!!
Tuesday, April 20, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha got to the center before me today for I stayed after Mass to talk to some people. When I arrived to the center Sandy was there with Martha taking things out of Martha's car. A few minutes later Tony showed up to pray on the sidewalk. Then Scott came by to talk to me for a few minutes. After that I went to the front lines by myself & as I was standing there, on the sidewalk, I spoke to a young girl who was in the car by the bushes. I called her over & handed her our Truth packet. She said that she was waiting for her friend who was in Planned Parenthood. She said that she wasn't here for an abortion. I was relieved to here this. She said "thank you" & went back to her car & went back into the center.
A few minutes later Martha was ready to go out to the front lines to pray & to counsel. As she was leaving the center Donna showed up & she showed us pictures of her granddaughter who is 2 years old & her grandson, who is cooking in the womb, of her daughter-in-law. She was so happy & proud. Me too! Donna went out to be with Martha & Tony while I stayed in the center for a few minutes more. While I was putting things away & Sandy was emptying my car that had baby clothes & other items.
Just then I saw that Martha was bringing 2 young girls into the center for pregnancy tests. I went & got Sandy from the parking lot & told her that she had 2 clients right now. Off she goes to counsel & assist our clients in the new 'Rose Room". It was a good experience for the 2 girls. One of the girls has a 8 month daughter, so we invited her to go into the Material Aid Room, to get clothes & some items for her daughter. I went to the front lines to be with the team. I saw that a young man was standing outside smoking. I started to talk to him. I finally, what I thought was the right information from him, though it was bad enough. He said that he was a father of 2 & that he didn't believe in abortion & he was married. I addresses all these issues. Then a young woman came out of Planned Parenthood & she was smoking too. She hollered over saying to Martha, who was now taking to them on the mega phone, to shut up. I butted in & told the girl not to be disrespectful to us & that was no way to talk to grown-ups. After her cigarette she & he went into the Killing Mill. Later on she was slumped down in the red car & he was the driver. God only knows what she did in there. Lord have Mercy on their souls!!
A young girl passed us by & took a Truth packet. She said that she was going in there to meet her family & that they were not here for an abortion. We gave her a list of good doctors do that they never will come back here again. Later on she came out with her family members which were 2 young girls & 2 children, one toddler & one baby. I gave them a Truth packet & our brochure & told them that we, at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, offer free baby & children clothes, so if they needed anything please stop in. Martha & I ate our ham sandwich & had some water & ice tea to keep ongoing to fight the fight out on the front lines. Just then a car was driving in & Donna offered them some information, which they took. We said that we had more information in the Focus Center so if they wanted more please stop in. They did. Later on, they came into the center & Melody, she just arrived, gave them more information, which they were very grateful for. The mother said that she told her daughter to take the Morning After Pill when she had sex for the first time. She regrets it now & took the information regarding this drug, which can sometimes act as an abortifacient, which means it can kill an already fertilized egg, which is a human being. Read http://www.prolife.com/MorningAfterPill.html & Martha & I were out there & Jerry showed up & he put his signs by the brick side of the building & he prayed for the end to abortion & that babies would be saved here today & everyday. He came over to us, around 3pm, which is the Divine Mercy Hour, to say the Chaplet. After we were finished a young girl came from around the bushes & we stopped to talk to her. She said that she was pregnant & that she was here for an ultrasound. I took out my cell phone & told her that I would call Compass Care Pregnancy Services, http://www.compasscare.info/, for her to have a free ultrasound today. She said "okay" so I called over to Compass Care & spoke to the lady & then gave our client the phone. As she was talking I asked her to follow me into the center. We ended up in the 'Rose Room'. She made an appointment for 4pm today. I asked Melody if she would drive her over & stay with her & then bring her home. She agreed to do so. We have a great team, thank God. So after I counseled her, I brought her over to the office to show her graphic pictures of an abortion, she was suprised by how violent abortion was. I gave her more important information to assist her. Then I said it was time to leave for the appointment & gave her a hug & told her that a requirement was to come back, after the baby born, to show us her little one. She smiled & off they went to get an ultrasound at Compass Care. I thank God for them, for they do ultrasounds :) Melody was gone for about 2 hours & Martha & I began to worry as we were cleaning out the Material Aid Room of winter clothes. Melody finally came back & told us all about ht experience at Compass Care. Melody said, our client, even after the ultrasound, was abortion minded but our client interjected that, in seeing the graphic pictures at the Focus Center, that she couldn't do that to her baby. Oh yeah! She asked Melody more about the Focus Center & what we do. We will keep in contact with her through Suzanne, our Thursday counselor, who loves to call our clients to see how they are doing.
Martha & Melody & I par took, in a delicious meal, that Martha made which was fettuccini with chicken & broccoli. We also had peaches & Cole slaw too. Delicious!! Martha had to go to a meeting at Church, after supper, so Melody & I stayed to do some more work in the center, then went home. What a day!!
Wednesday, April 21, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood The abortionist wasn't there today so we felt like we could pray & counsel & to help people continue life. Prayer & Education are the Keys.
Martha & I were planning to go to the Healing Mass at St. Thomas More Church later this evening so we were going to meet at the center at 1pm. I was running about 10 minutes late thinking that Martha was already there. Well I was wrong. She was running late too. When I got out of the car I saw a young woman with a little boy. I asked if she needed some children clothes for her son. She said "that sounds nice but I'm heading to Planned Parenthood". I said to her that Planned Parenthood kills babies. She didn't believe in abortion but was defensive in saying that some of the woman make that decision because of their circumstances & she said that she didn't want to judge. I said that abortion is evil at all times & is never accepted by God for any reason. She agreed & followed me into the center with her cute 4 year old son. She picked up some nice things for him & he got some real cool toys & was happy. I gave her a Truth packet & off she went. I was heading to the sidewalk to be with John for he was there when I arrived. He saw me come in & came into the center to take some signs & Truth packets & the mega phone, to go to witness & to counsel, on the front lines. As I was leaving to go be with him the doorbell rang. I went to the door & there were 2 young girls asking for baby clothes. I brought the one girl to the Material Aid Room for her friend needed to stay outside side to watch the kids in the car. They are best friends. As the one girl was in the Material Aid Room the doorbell rang & it was the young girl & her 4 year old son, for they had returned. She said to me "do you do pregnancy tests"? I said "yes, we do" & I lead her into the Rose Room for the test. Her son was so well behaved & darling. He said "my Mommy & Daddy go to school". "That's great" I said & smiled at him. What a cutie. I spoke with the mom for awhile & then said "good bye & if you need us again please come back". She smiled & said good bye to me. This mom & son touched my heart.
I went back outside to be with John, I was so thankful to God that he was there with me. We were they praying & counseling when Martha came. The reason that she was late was that she had to do her laundry at her apartment & she had to wait for her clothes to dry. Whatever reason I was just so glad to see faithful Martha & now was happy to have her & John with me to fight the fight at Planned Parenthood, in trying to save lives from being killed there. Martha & I went back into the center to get more signs & when we came back outside Martha saw a van that had 2 women in it & a baby, so she waited to see if they were coming into the center, for assistance. I went back to the sidewalk to be with John to counsel. Martha didn't come back to the sidewalk until about 20 minutes later so I knew that the car full of people were there for our assistance. She came back out later to say that they needed baby clothes for their children. Martha helped them out in the Material Aid Room & they went away very happy. We were handing out Rosaries to the people walking by & listening to their stories & trying to help them to heal by saying that we will be praying for them & their needs. There was a car that pulled into the driveway of Planned Parenthood with a car full of people & children. I called over saying that this place kills children & that we can help you & we give out free baby clothes & pregnancy tests too. One of the girls went into Planned Parenthood & came out a few minutes later. She got back into the car & out they went but as they were stopping to come out onto University Ave. I again spoke to them about what we offer at the center. I said "come follow me" & they did. Martha & I went with them into the center. There were 2 guys & 2 women & 2 small children. I stayed with Martha for a few minutes to help her & she stayed to give a pregnancy test & baby clothes for their children. She also taught abstinence, (for they were not married but had boyfriends that, thank God, were not for abortion) & gave information to one of the girls that said that she had an abortion about 10 years ago I regretted it ever since. I hope & pray that she will call the number for Project Rachel, a Post Abortion Ministry, to get the forgiveness & healing that she needs. Please check out these web sites for help & healing: http://www.projectrachelrochesterny.org/ & http://www.afterabortion.org/. Martha, John & I were now back on the sidewalk. Marie stopped by & talked with me for a few minutes. She said that she couldn't stay, like she was planning to, because she wasn't feeling well. She said that she will be here next Wednesday to either counsel, in the center, or to be outside witnessing. She had gone to the Rachel's Vineyard Weekend Retreat( http://www.rachelsvineyard.org/ ) last week & received much healing from the Lord but got sick after that. She is post abortive & has given her testimony, for her 2 abortions, with many people. We went into the center around 5pm, for we needed to eat & then go to the Healing Mass at St. Thomas More at 7:30pm. Dan came into the center & he helped John with a couple of things while Martha heated our pork supper with roasted potatoes, Cole slaw, asparagus & apple sauce. Yummy.
After supper, Martha, John & I, went to the Mass. After Mass I spoke with Fr. Mickey Mc Grath, for he is going to give us a computer for our center & he heard my Confession. Thanks Father :)
PLEASE GO TO THE NEXT PAGE FOR FUTHER FRONT LINE WEEKLY. THANK YOU ! <Previous | Next> Page
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at the Focus Center We are blessed with a new Material Aid person, who is now coming in to help out with the baby clothes, on Wednesdays. Her job is to put the clothes away & to make sure that they are clean & without stains then puts them in the appropriate baskets by sizes. We also have Melody, who blesses us in the Material Aid Room, on Tuesdays & does a great job. The two Elim Bible students were sick tonight, so were unable to come this evening, I was disappointed, for they are so helpful & sweet. What a blessing, they are, for me. Tucker stayed out in front of Planned Parenthood, to protest along with Gloria, who came by to be with him to pray. I had a lot going on, in the center, so there I was for the evening. I thank God, for all the dedicated people, that he gives me, to help out in the center, so that we can assist, our clients, in what they need for their babies.
November 4, 2009 in front of the Inn on Broadway There was a protest at the Inn on Broadway this evening. There were Rob, Bill, John & myself. Planned Parenthood was celebrating their abortionist, Rachael Phelps, for a luncheon & cocktail party, all deathers were invited. But the pro lifer stole the show, thanks to the Holy Spirit. People on the sidewalk were friendly & took our informational packets & DVD's & spoke with us for awhile. We met two people that knew Jerry Crawford & Mike Warren, from Rescue Rochester. There was even a worker in the restaurant that was pro life & was discussed to have to serve these people that 'murder children'. It was a 'great protest'.
Mass & Banquet, with Father Frank, was such a blessing on Nov. 7th. Martha & I went to see our two 'saved' babies. They were so precious & getting bigger & bigger every day. Praise God for His goodness. This was a great evening spending time with my fellow pro lifers that work hard to end abortion. Great group of people that I am humbled to know & to work with. I even got to meet some new people & to share. Fr. Frank was so informative in his speech. What a blessed evening.
Wednesday , Nov. 11, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood It was good to see Becki, from Elim Bible Institute again. She was ill & couldn't make it last Wednesday at the center. Both her & Amber showed up to do work at the center tonight. How great!! I keep them busy. I had put donations on the shelf in the Material Aid room earlier so it was ready to service our clients. Tucker arrived so I didn't want him to be by himself on the street, so when I could get away I went to the sidewalk to be with him. I engaged some people which is always a challenge. The Rape counselors were driving into Planned Parenthood for their meeting. One car ad advertisement that she was working for a cleaning company. I sent the main office some information about Planned Parenthood & how they DON'T report statuary rapes, thought hey have a Rape Counseling services at the main abortion center at 114 University Ave. How warped & sick. What hiprocrates!! Hope that her boss tells her to keep her & the company car away from Planned Parenthood now since she knows the truth about this evil organization that murders people. We'll see. People walking down the street are offered Rosaries & are blessed when they take them. The smiles on their faces are so heart warming. Mother Mary please draw these people to your Son Jesus. Thank you dear Mother. A car stopped by the sidewalk & he said to me "are you going to take care of these children". I said "yes, sir you don't kill children. Adoption is the answer NOT abortion & I think that God is not happy with your question". He made a face & drove away. Oh yea these sick people think that you should murder these children so they won't be a bother to society or their families. How sick!!! Poor man I do hope that he repents soon! Lots of positive honking of horns to our favor tonight. It's about time. Most of the country is Pro Life now, again what took so long people. The girls in the center worked very hard tonight & left at 6PM. Mary K. came to help me in the Material Aid room, we were blessed with many great items & clothes. The room is becoming to small for all that we have in the room for mother's children. We have all sizes of children clothes from infant to size 7, shoes, blankets, toys, books, lamps, stuffed animals, winter clothes & jackets, formula, diapers, blankets etc. Thank you everyone for your generous support to the center & to the Material Aid room so that we can completely assist our clients & their families. Mary spent time with her darling daughter to help me put things away & to oragnize the room some more. Thanks girls. It was a productive time on the street & at the center. Praise God for all your help to us.
Thursday, Nov. 12, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood
Martha & I got to the center & frontlines after Mass today. Mike, Winnie & Joan meet us there at the center. They brought some baby clothes & non- perishable foods for our food shelves. Also Celeste came later to drop off some food for our shelves, thanks everyone! Suzanne, our Thursday counselor was not able to come today, so Martha & I will have to man the center & street today. I do appreciate all your efforts in helping our clients, Suzanne, as our Thursday counselor. I went out to the frontlines & started to counsel. They were killing little babies today. A young girl came out of Planned Parenthood with a brown bag, which is birth control, they give after an abortion, & was being picked up by a Taxi, which is not a good sign. Then cars came flooding into the parking lot. Usually there were cars with a girl & a guy in it. One of the guys was waving at me, as he & his girlfriend were going into Planned Parenthood, after I offered them help & later on, when he drove out, probably to Wendy's, he blew me a kiss. How sick! He brought his girlfriend into Planned Parenthood to kill their child & he blows me a kiss. What a sick person. Us being out there probably made him uncomfortable, yea!! Sometimes I feel that I'm in an horror movie or having a nightmare, that I can't wake up from. We had a mother of twins come in for the high chair & she dropped off some baby clothes & diapers for the center. Nice switch. As we helped her out she helped us out. Martha stayed to help another client in the center with a pregnancy test. Mike who was with me on the street along with his wife & their friend spotted that the condo, across the street, was up For Sale. I asked him to call to see how much they were asking. He did & then told me that they were asking $200,039.00 for the place. In your dreams people, right across the street from Planned Parenthood the Killing Mill. Some poor sucker probably will buy it, I sure hope who ever does buy the condo are nice & not mean like the other 2 condo residents. Or, Oh Boy, here we go again.
Martha was still in the center & I was out on the sidewalk when I hollered over to 2 young people, a black young man & a white young lady. He gave me indication that he was not receptive to the information that I was offering him but a few minutes later he walked over to me. Carol had now arrived & was in back of me. She came along side of me when this young man approached me. I told him that PP was racist. Then Carol said that she has a Black grandchild & I said that I have a great niece & nephew that are Black. Then he became defensive. He said "why are you telling me that I'm not Black". Okay, denounce your Race, which is crazy. I offered him the Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. century DVD & he refused it. He then said that his Aunty is the Vice President of Planned Parenthood. Oh boy! Another Black person helping to kill off the Black race. I grew concerned, so I offered him the DVD once again. He reached over & took it from me, which I was glad, but only for a moment, for he broke it in two & threw it on the sidewalk. Violence on the street! I said thanks for nothing & he walked over to be with his white friend. Just then a Taxi cab drove up to pick them up, so I took my cell phone out of my pocket & pretended to call 911, by not pressing any buttons. I looked to see the license number of the cab & pretended to write it down on the paper, just to scare him a little, but this probably wouldn't scare this guy, he wasn't afraid of little oh me. Can't blame me for trying after he destroyed my property. I was a bit ticked off. If you didn't want it then just don't take, that's OK with me. I offered it to him twice to many times. Why can't you be happy with how God made you, Black or White, we were ALL created by God & will go back to God someday. Let's all just get along while were here on Earth together!!! What a better world it would be.
PROTEST AT THE ROCHESTER CONVENTION CENTER of PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S ABORTIONIST RACHAEL PHELPS @ 11:30am. Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha wasn't going to be on the front lines today, which I knew in advance. I really depend on her so much to help out in the center & to be a sidewalk counselor on the frontlines. She is such a blessing to me. The pro life team, who has been out there for the past 14 years, in all kinds of weather & situations are also a blessing. The dedication of the team to pray & to witness against the evils Planned Parenthood is rare most cities. What a blessing to Rochester are these fantastic people. You know who you are. God bless you all. When I arrived at the center after Mass there was Paula waiting for me in the parking lot. She had brought me bags of clothes & some food for the food shelves from her daughter Hannah, who bought these things from her baby-sitting money. What a blessing is this sweet 16 year old girl, who along with her mother volunteered at the Focus Center about 2 years ago before the family added twin girls form Ethiopia which they adopted. This family is to busy to volunteer at this time but blesses us with material aid goods, from time to time. Thanks so much. Also Mary Ellen arrived with a baby cradle. It was so nice of her too. We are blessed with many people who help us to exist, by their generous donations, of money, help, time & prayers. Thanks to ALL of you for making the Focus Center what it is, in saving lives & changing lives. God bless you!! After they had left I started to set up on the sidewalk with John's help, he had been with me earlier at the protest at the Rochester Convention Center where 5 of us protested the abortionist at Planned Parenthood Rachael Phelps, who was being honored by the Rochester Business Journal for 'Forty under 40' achievement award. Do you believe it!!! An abortionist being honored with her achievements in killing children? I let the people know very loudly, as they were walking through the garage tunnel, what she did over at Planned Parenthood, as an abortionist. I held a sign that read: DR. RACHAEL PHELPS-ABORTIONIST & PEDIATRICIAN. WHY??? Also, PLANNED PARENTHOOD KILLS BABIES. Colleen let Mayor Duffy know what Phelps did over at Planned Parenthood too when he was walking in the main door. HER SIGN HAD DRIPPING RED COLORED INK UNDER HER NAME. He seemed surprised at the notion that she was there receiving an award. Oh yeah, Mr. Mayor, no wonder there is so much violence here in Rochester, please put 2 in 2 together. John, Donna, Mary S. & I were there on the frontlines witnessing the Truth to people. I was in the center ready to go out on the street when the doorbell rang, it was a man & a woman needing baby clothes. I stayed with them in the Material Aid room for them to pick out some clothes for their baby. They were blessed & thanked me for the items. I was glad that we were able to help. After they had left I was just about to go out to the front lines to be with the team when the doorbell rang. It was a young girl needing a pregnancy test. I gave her the test & counseled her I went out side. I was there for a short time when a young couple came up the sidewalk. I offered them help. She said that she was going into Planned Parenthood for an appointment. I told them what they do in there & they walked into the building. My heart sank. A few minutes later they walked out & came passed us on the sidewalk. I offered then help once more. I told them that we had a pregnancy center 2 doors down & started walking with them down the sidewalk. As we walked I asked them some questions only to find out that the young girl was pregnant & needed our help after all. I brought them into the center to talk with them. A few minutes I was calling our doctor that we use for our clients to make an appointment. After I spoke with the medical secretary I handed the phone to our client to make an appointment. Our doctor's father had just died so he was out of town so they had to make the appointment in the first week in December. After that I gave our client a number to call to get set up for insurance. I gave her a Truth packet & a DVD on Growth & Development, in the womb along with our brochure with my name & contact information. Later this client was followed up by our Thursday counselor Suzanne where she gave her more information that could help her in her pregnancy. Also the number for Compass Care to make an appointment for an ultrasound. While our client was on the phone I brought her boyfriend to see our Material Aid room & said to him that once you know the sex of your baby them please comeback to receive some baby clothes & items for him or her. Then we went back into the counseling room where our client was off the phone. I showed her some pictures & talked with her for a little while, her boyfriend said nothing to me but just listened. After everything was completed & wished them well & told them to call me at anytime for assistance. Then all of a sudden the young man reached out his hand to shake my hand. I almost cried. It meant so much to me and he said so much to me by this gesture. I then said that you are doing the right thing. They smiled at me & left. I felt so good after this encounter with these 2 fine people who cared about their baby. Refreshing. As I was leaving to go out tot the front lines the doorbell rang. I went to the door & a young woman said that she need a pregnancy test, she seemed very excitable. She took the test & I counseled her & gave her some literature. I told her to call me at any time if she need anymore help & gave her our brochure. She left & I went back to the front lines after eating a quick sandwich. I got back outside to see that John & Donna were there. Mary S. had to go back to work. We handed out Rosaries to the people on the sidewalk & spoke to the victims going in & out of Planned Parenthood. Rachael Phelps's car was not in the parking lot but they get a substitute abortionist when she's not there. I have the attitude that everyone driving into the Planned Parenthood's parking lot, that has 2 or more people in the car, are going for an abortion. I usually say " If you are hear for an abortion we can help you to choose life". I say other things too of course usually that the baby has a heart beat at 18 days after conception & that abortion is not good for the mother too. We only hope & pray that, through the grace of God, she will change her mind & leave this place with her baby right where he or she should be. A few minutes later 2 young girls came out of Planned Parenthood & walked passed us on the sidewalk. I asked if she needed any help & that we give out 'free pregnancy tests'. They both said "yes". I walked them into the Focus Center for the tests. After they were done I counseled them individually. They filled out a face sheet & when I noticed that one of the girls had had an abortion in the past I counseled her with Post Abortion counseling. I gave her a lot of information & phone numbers to contact for further help. It is so sad that after Planned Parenthood has killed their child they go back to them again. I don't understand any of this madness. 'There by the grace of God go I.' They both left after the one girl went to the Material Aid room to get some baby clothes for her baby at home. They left & I went back out to the frontlines. Martha I need you!!! I know that she had to be where she was. I pray for a Tuesday afternoon counselor ASAP Lord. Thank you. I went back outside & Donna left a little while later. John & I stayed out in the rain until about 4:30pm & went into the center to dry off the signs & put everything away. I had brought some lunch so we had a late lunch together. He is a very interesting young man that the Lord has blessed us with. I did some work in the Material Aid room by making up some Truth packets & putting some baby clothes away. We left around 8:30pm.
Wednesday Nov. 18, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood
I arrived at the center around 4pm to let Becki & Amber into the center to continue their work on the computer. I am always so happy to see them. They went right to work. Tucker came in not to much later. He said that he wasn't feeling to well & needed to go back home. We spoke about the new center & what needs to be done to present to the zoning board. I gave him a rough sketch of how I wanted the inside of the new center to look like. He said that he would get the measurements & then take it to the Zoning Board where he will present it to them for a permit so that we can get started to fix up the garage for the new center. He left & Martha wasn't there yet so I went back inside to get Amber to come help me get the boxes of clothes that I had in my car & put it into the Material Aid room to put away. When we were outside Mike drove up, with the bags of cloths, that he promised to bring to the center. We spoke with him for about 15 minutes. He said later that he was impressed with Amber & her great values that she had. She is the oldest of 10 children & wants a big family herself. She had mentioned that years ago just before Christmas there was a house fire & thanks God that everyone got out all right but they lost everything except the Bibles that were not damaged in the inside cover. God's word was preserved from the flames of the fire. Praise God!! She said that she helped to raise most of her sings & that sex is reserved until marriage. Can she be cloned!! Mike left & I thanked him & Carla for the clothes. His lovely wife just had baby # 5 & was at home recuperating from the C-Section. We said "good bye" & he left. As we were going back into the center Martha had arrived. I asked her if she wanted to go out on the frontlines & she said that she did, so off we go with our signs & literature container to witness & to pray in front of Planned Parenthood. I told the girls that we were going out & if they needed anything please come & get us. They said "okay". Martha & I set up & started to pray. Many cars drove by & mostly gave us a good honk. But I spoke to soon for the clients coming out of Planned Parenthood the opposite was happening. We were getting the middle finger at least 3 times by some lively ladies that don't know a thing about 'respect'. Then the rape counselors were coming in & I said something that made me give the mega a phone to Martha for awhile. It just makes me so ticked that Planned Parenthood has rape counseling at an abortion mill & they don't report statuary rape & they get away with it in this city. It's like the police department is afraid of Planned Parenthood. Go figure!!! We handed out Rosaries & spoke with a person who stopped their car to get some of our information, which was good. Martha brought a young girl into the center to get some baby clothes while I stayed outside on the sidewalk. After she came back a truck pulled up & parked across the street. It was Dan. He came over & we talked for awhile. He took some signs & brought them back to his car to witness to the cars passing by. It started to rain but we stayed outside for a while longer then went in around 6pm. The girls, from Elim Bible Institute, leave at that time & I thanked them for all their hard work & they told me that they would be back the Wednesday after Thanksgiving. Okay girls, I'll see you then. Dan, Martha, Elaine was there too & I talked for awhile & when Dan & Elaine had left Martha & I discovered that we didn't have any food with us for our supper. We decided to order a take out at the restaurant next door- big mistake. The chicken legs I guess, for they were very short, were in a pool of grease & had no flavor for curried chicken & the 2 side dishes were very small portions for 2 people & the bread was spongy, I guess it was the bread of their culture but not to our likening. We were very disappointed & probably will never eat there again. Sorry David Gantt. I say that because he eats over there all the time. Maybe the restaurant was having a bad evening, I don't mean to judge it to harshly, we are neighbors & need to stick together. After supper Martha & I worked in the Material Aid room for the next 2 hours. Martha left still hungry. Sorry Martha, next time we will bring our own food, for two.
Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood The team turned out today to be just John & myself & thank God, Suzanne in the center, counseling. Martha could not be there & our Bill was sick & as for Jerry, one never knows. We did the best that we could do with God's help, of course.
It was a very rainy day so I made sure that I dressed for the weather. John & I spoke with many people that the good Lord rough our way. One gentleman, who is a Christian, comes by every Thursday from somewhere the neighborhood, with a container in hand. He stopped to talk with us for about 15 minutes, very interesting man with the same values as John & I, though he wasn't Catholic he was witnessed, by John, in a very beautiful way. Maybe he will be converted. The girls were rough coming out of Planned Parenthood, sorry to say, were probably Post Abortive. I wish that we could reach them, before they do this horrible crime, against their child. Their lives are never the same again. There were 2 Death Escorts there manning the door. I get ticked off at them for they provide false compassion, to the girls, as they lead their babies to their deaths. Melissa, the post abortive young girl that was witnessed to by one of the pro lifers, at the March in February, has NOT been back, as an Escort, since after the 2nd. March this year, about 6 weeks ago. Hopefully she has been converted & will NEVER be back again. I hope & pray that she will get healing.
A familiar face was walking down the sidewalk. A sweet girl that I assisted awhile ago when she came into the center for baby clothes & formula. I said 'how are you & your baby doing". She replied back that the baby was getting bigger, for he was born prematurely. She then asked for a pregnancy test, so I said that there was a counselor in the center that could take care of her. She walked over to the Focus Center after I had said "good- bye" to her. Suzanne assisted her in what she & her baby needed.
John & I stayed out on the frontlines until about 5:00pm. We went into the center & had some supper. I brought enough food for two people, no one left hungry tonight. Then my cell phone rang & it was my dear sweet nephew Sammy. "Hi Aunt Mi Mi, can you come over tonight". Oh yea sweet boy. I'll be over around 7pm. I was so happy to hear his voice. Around 5:30pm Janet' & Bill came for our Bible Study Classes. I said that I needed to dry off the signs & put everything away & then I would join them before I had to leave. John blessed Janet' & Bill & also me with his wisdom. He is such a blessing to the team & I thank God for him. He is such a great addition to the team & so is Donna & Carol, our new recruits from the '40 Days for Life" Campaign. Thank you Lord!
Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood I arrived at the center right after the noon Mass downtown. I saw a young girl walking down the street & I called over to her that we are a pregnancy center &if she needed any help we could help her. She hollered back to me saying "I'm going to keep my baby". I said if you need anything come over to the center & we can give some baby clothes to you. She said "okay" & walked down Gibbs St. probably for the bus. I was walking back to the center when Pat had gotten out of her car & approached me. We talked for a few minutes & then I said lets go inside. We continued to talk & I showed her around the center & the material aid room. She said I'm going to give you this as I had promised. I opened up the envelope & saw 8 $25.00 Tops certificates for our clients to be used when necessary for them. My mouth drooped & I thanked her for her generosity. Pat & I met last year during the '40 Days for Life' campaign. We both got into her car & drove up Main St. to find a girl that we had already spoken to in regards to her girlfriend wanting an abortion. I had some more information that I wanted to give her to give to her girlfriend. Pat remembered that the young girl was holding a pink purse. Yea, still try to find someone in the crowd even with a pink purse but with a prayer to St. Anthony we did. Pat spotted her & I ran out of the car to approach the girl to give her the packet of information for her girlfriend. She said that she would give it to her & said "thank you". I mentioned, for her & her friend to come to the center at anytime for assistance. She smiled & ran to her bus. Thank you Lord up above. Just then Mary S. came in to get the signs & literature container to take to the front lines. I invited Pat to come & pray with us & she said that she could for a little while for she had many errands to do. I was heading out with them when the doorbell rang. There at the door were 3 young women & 1 young man. I asked if I could help them & one of the woman said that she was here yesterday getting clothes for her baby & now have brought her pregnant girlfriend, who has 1 year old twin girls who & another 3 month old girl & is pregnant with her 4th. girl, to get some things for her children. A young girl, who was with them, spoke such truth when she said "I don't know how anyone could a little baby"! She had her head on straight, thank God. She looked at the graphic pictures & took some more information, for a pro lifer gave them a Truth packet yesterday, while he was out on the sidewalk counseling. Crystal, who is the counselor on Mondays, who is pregnant & due in January, was there in the center orientating her friend to take her place, so was Melody who works in the Material Aid room, they assisted them to get some baby things. The young man took a basketball for his son & they gathered 4 bags full of baby clothes, formula, diapers, books, blankets, stuffed animals & food from our food shelves. They were all very happy. I said that they could come back a second time when they needed to. They said "good bye" & left.
I then gathered up some more signs & went out onto the sidewalk to join the others. When I got there Mary S. said "did you bring the mega phone, for this lady who drove in keeps hollering "Pro Choice, Pro Choice, Pro Choice". I said I'll go get it. When I returned to the sidewalk there she was coming out of Planned Parenthood saying the same words over & over again. I took the mega phone & started to talk to her. I said " you mean pro death because in your choice a child dies. Your choice is vanilla or chocolate, not to kill or not to kill". I then said to her, as she was still chanting & trying to get into her car, " I choose not to kill you if you say that I have a choice in that decision". My some miracle she shut right up & was quiet. I feel that the Holy Spirit spoke to her heart that made sense. I feel that she was convicted by her own words that didn't make sense any more by the power of God. Amen. She drove out of the parking lot with her mouth closed not uttering her Pro Choice mantra. I then looked around to see that Pat had gone but there was Mary S. & Donna & John came a short while later & then our dear Martha. So we had a good group on the sidewalk this afternoon. Donna had bought the ministry 200 little 10 week old babies to witness & to handout to the girls & guys. I know that the Lord has used these models as a teaching tool, thus saving lives. I said thank you for such a generous donation to the center & to the street ministry. What a blessing. I was counseling, which can be annoying at times for those who want to pray but I strongly feel that everyone, who goes into this Killing Mill needs to hear a human voice pleading to them to do the right thing, I could be wrong but like I said I have this strong feeling to offer the Truth to everyone gong into Planned Parenthood. A human cry for Truth & Justice, in this horrible place, of massacring innocent life. Donna moved down the street a little ways to say her Rosary, which is the prayer power that we need when we are out on the frontlines. Prayer & works, the Bible says. Some of the girls were coming out of Planned Parenthood flipping the bird, so I know that they probably had an abortion today or another time in their lives. Again, it's so very sad & heart breaking. I went into the center to get something & when I came back out Martha told me that a young girl had gone into Planned Parenthood to get insurance papers, or something like that. I said, Martha, when she comes out could you please bring her to the center to help her, & she said "sure". About 10 minutes later she came walking towards us. Martha brought her to the center to help her, for the young girl told Martha that she knew that she was pregnant. Martha counseled her & gave her some information to assist her further in her pregnancy. It's sad to say that she had had an abortion, in the past, & it freaks me out that the girls go back to Planned Parenthood, who killed their baby. I just don't understand!! Instead of hating them for what they did, they go back to them again. Do they ever wonder what Planned Parenthood did with their baby after they killed their son or daughter??? Abortion seems to be a matter of fact procedure & when it's over it's over. No feeling after that, that is the question. Well, thank God she is NOT going to do it again. Planned Parenthood would not see her today because she didn't have the insurance card with her. So we will help her in our center where we don't kill babies but love them & their parents. They Destroy & we Restore. Martha came back out to join us again. I asked if she wanted any clothes & she said "no, not at this time. She waiting to find out if he's having a girl or a boy then she will come back". "Okay, that's fine" I said. A car, with a middle aged man, drove into the parking lot. He got out & went into the Administrators door. I called out to him & waited. When he was at the exit he stopped his car & spoke with us. He said that he went in to ask about condoms. I gave him a Truth packet & told him that condoms don't always prevent STD's & gave him a graphic brochure on what each main STD looks like under a microscope. Then I spoke to him about morality. I asked if he was married & he said that he was, I didn't see a wedding ring but some guys don't wear them, so I went to the literature container to get him a brochure on Natural Family Planning, which he took. I said sex in marriage is to be open for new life. I'm sure he though that sex was also for pleasure, which of course it is too. He smiled & thanked us & drove away. Martha & John also witnessed to him. Donna had to go & just as she was getting into her car a young attractive red haired, curly top girl came walking briskly up the street towards John & I, for Martha was in the center. I thought that she was a friend of John's & was coming to pray with us. That was not the case at all. She introduced herself saying "I'm a Pro Choice Escort at Planned Parenthood & I just want to command you all for being out here doing what your doing in all kinds of weather. My eyes almost bugged out of my head. I said "you are"! "Oh", she said, I don't want to get you in trouble with Planned Parenthood or anything like that". I said " don't worry about that at all". She went on to ask why we were out here & I replied "it was to save lives". She mentioned how she disliked Eugenics & I said that is what Planned Parenthood does, so why aren't you with us here on the sidewalk? She said that she was an Atheists & belongs to the Unitarian/ Universialist church. This is where PP gets most of their escorts. I said that would be fine & we were Christians. She asked not to talk about God otherwise she would not be able to converse with us any longer. John & her hit a connection & he spoke to her with Truth & Love, which was powerful. I offered her the Maafia 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century & she took it then I offered her the Growth & Development DVD, with the ultrasound pictures & animated abortion procedure & 45 minutes of the testimony of former abortion clinic owner Carol Everett. Wow!! I was so happy that she took the 2 educational DVD's. Thank you Lord! We spoke to her a little while longer when Martha joined us in the sidewalk again. I reached over to give our new friend a hug & her arm went up so I thought that maybe she didn't want to hug a stranger. I said to her "I just want to give you a hug" & she said "a hug that would be great" so I gave her a hug then she ran over to John to get a hug from him & then went over to Martha to get a sweet motherly hug from her. Wow, what a surprise encounter which I have never had in all the 24 years I have sidewalk counseled. As she was leaving I told her with love in my voice that Jesus is Lord. Off she went with a smile on her pretty face. Thank you Holy Spirit!!! Amen & Amen. After we came into the center & put things away Martha, John & I sat down in the meeting room & had turkey & chicken salad sandwiches with tortilla lime chips with salsa , sour cream, & cheddar cheese with sugar cookies for desert. The only problem was that I put out the pickles. I didn't have any pickles but Martha & John did & regretted it. They had heartburn & indigestion & were in pain. What was in those pickles? I'm sure glad that I didn't have any pickles. Sorry guys. When she felt better Martha & I made up Truth packets & put baby clothes away & John worked, on the computer, creating the Focus Center 'logo'. We all left to go home around 8:45pm.
Thursday, Dec. 3, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha, John & I wolfed down Wendy's hamburgers, after Mass, before we went out to the frontlines for spiritual warfare battle. We spoke to the girls going into the killing mill, Planned Parenthood & hoped that they would go home with their baby still in their womb. The 2 worse death escorts were there today, Sylvia Rose & Barry Swan. They are very aggressive & determined to get each & everyone into Planned Parenthood to do evil. Swan came around the bushes to give me Rob's Maafia 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century DVD that he let him borrow this past Summer. John was asking him what he thought of it & I chimed in saying "go away Barry Swan, go away". I then said to John "please don't talk to him", John is new on the frontlines thus he doesn't know about this horrible person. He left to go back to his killing post in front of the death doors at Planned Parenthood. A very young girl came riding down the street on her bike. I flagged her over to us on the other side of the sidewalk to talk to her. She came over & said that she was going into Planned Parenthood for pre natal vitamins. I suggested for her to come to the center & we would call our doctor to set up an appointment for her to see a 'life giving' doctors instead of Planned Parenthood where they kill babies. Just then a woman came around the bushes & it was the woman from St. John's Religious Shoppe. She was coming by for me to see some prayer books that are related to Mothers. So much was going on at the same time then the death escort came around the bushes telling the woman that she couldn't park in their parking lot. She then saw our little girl & took her into the killing mill. The poor girl was so young she did as she was told & followed the death escort. John & I waited for 2 hours until she came out & gave her the Truth packet & a DVD of the Growth & Development of the baby in the womb & a doctors list. She took it & smiled. The death escort Sylvia Rose had gone & now this young girl could get the help that she needed by people of 'Life' not of 'Death'.
December 15, 2009 Great news!!! Little Akira has come home form the hospital. She has lost some weight but hopefully will regain it soon. She is being taking care of Pat & Arika, the mother, very well but Akira could stop breathing at any time due to her immaturity, for she was born 3 months early. We trust in the Lord that Akira will get stronger & stronger every day. Pat wants to thank everyone for all your prayers for Akira's recovery, from the last 'event' when she stopped breathing, that brought her to the hospital. Also, for your love, support & generosity for the family's needs. Please keep praying for Pat & her family. Thank you so much!
Also, another Focus Center baby was just born. Her name is London & mother & baby are doing very well. Praise God!! We are expecting more babies early next year in 2010, that were saved from abortion, through God's grace & the street ministry & the Focus center. We are in the baby & mother business. Thank you for your prayers & financial support, for us to continue our pro life work, on University Ave.
Tuesday, Dec. 29, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood
Mary S. called to say that she could not make it today for she was under the weather, not feeling well but will return to pray on the sidewalk next week. John also called saying that he was still in Bristol with his family & he also will return soon to the frontlines to pray & counsel. I was
disappointed but knew that a seasoned pro lifer was there, so there was him & I there today. We have shared the sidewalk for 14 years now, what a great pro lifer & sidewalk counselor. I always learn from him & always feel safe when he is out there. It was freezing with the cold wind blowing but God's grace was with us. A man came by us & asked for food so Rob brought him into the Material Aid Room for food from our food shelves. He left with 2 bags full & was blessed. It's a good feeling to see the joy & relief on the peoples faces. It was very traumatic when the cars just came coming into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood preparing to have their babies killed by Rachael Phelps, the abortionist there. She makes $ 130,000 a year to kill God's children & to ruin lives, at Planned Parenthood. She killed about 5
precious babies today. The sidewalk counselor spoke truth to them as they pulled into the parking lot & walked into the Killing Center. All who entered heard the truth from him. I witnessed, with the graphic sign & a precious aborted baby, to the people driving in & passing by on the street or walking down the street. The truth of what abortion looks like. These pictures are real people that were slaughtered by the abortionist by the request of their mother & perhaps the father also. I showed them all the picture as they were driving in & asked them all to choose life & that we can help them. One woman hollered to us "I'm going in here to ask questions & I'm a Christian so shut-up". Just so typical!! How sad a remark, imagine getting answers from people who kill people? She should have come to us for the truth. But no, they go to the evil ones. How sad. We won't give up telling people the truth, we just know that not everyone will listen. A couple were walking down the street & the gentleman was saying something to us like , it sounded negative but we responded with love back to him. They went into Planned Parenthood & came out not to long after. We offered them
a truth packet & they walked over to us. The counselor asked her if she wanted a pregnancy test & she responded back "yes". He said we can help you then. I said please follow me into the Focus Center for the test. They did & I assisted our client in the help that she needed. After I was finished I went back onto the frontlines to be with the other side walk counselor who said that he had given out a truth packet & talked to a young man who said that he was asked to bring a woman here & he hoped that she wasn't there for an abortion. Poor guy. I hope that she wasn't either. So many people are affected by abortion, innocent & guilty ones.
We had 2 young woman come into the center by the gentle prompting of the sidewalk counselor offering them free baby cloths. I had gone into the center to do something when they came in. One of the ladies had twin girls & the other young lady had 2 children also. They were blessed by what we had in the Material Aid Room. I asked why they were at Planned Parenthood & they told me they were there for birth control. Martha had just come in to the center & said to them about birth control & breast cancer possibility. They were shocked & I went into the counseling room to get another truth packet & more information for them to take home with them. I also gave them the Maafa: Black Genocide in the 21 st. Century DVD. They said 'thank you" & said that they were going to read the materials that they were given. They were open to the truth & to do the 'right thing'. Praise God for that.
After they had left we had a big surprise birthday party for Martha & for
our male sidewalk counselor. We had chicken, rice, Cole slaw, cranberry sauce, stuffing & a mean chocolate cake. There was 5 of us celebrating the meaning of 'birthdays' & not 'death days' like they celebrate at Planned Parenthood. We had a great time & Pat, the grandmother of 4 & great grand mother of our 2 babies that were saved from abortion. We made up a plate & she had a nice meal. We got to visit with her until she had to go home to care for her family. God bless you Pat & we love you & your family. Suzanne, our Thursday counselor, helped to clean up & Martha & I went through a big bag of clothes & toys for the Material Aid Room. Thanks you guys!!!
Tuesday, January 5, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
There we were, the 2010 team in front of Planned Parenthood. Donna, Mary S. John & myself were there to try to save lives from being killed at Planned Parenthood's Killing Mill. I was able to do some things, in the center, before going out on the front lines because of the team already being out there. It was so good to see Mary S. after 2 weeks & Donna after 1 week. All pro lifers are a blessing. We set up the signs & put the literature box out there & was ready to witness the truth to the public. As I was leaving the center to go out to the front lines a woman hollered from her car "is the center open for some baby clothes"? I said back to her "yes it is, come follow me". Two young women got out of the car & went into the Material Aid Room to get clothes & some small items for their children. They both were very happy to get clothes, books, DVD's, toys & stuffed animals for their children. I was happy for them, the smiles on their faces brought me joy. The one woman said to me "you have a nice place here". I said back to her "thank you so very much". I think that they left with 4 bags full. I gave them some candy to go on their way. I said "good bye" to them & then went to the front lines to be with the team. We called out, to the victims going into Planned Parenthood, that we could help them. We offered them literature truth packets & Rosaries. Cars honked support to us & a few nasty people drove by us, filled with guilt & shame for the things in their past. Denial is ugly & sad. If they only realized that we are the ones that could help them heal.
Mary S. had to go back to work so Donna, John & I were still on the sidewalk witnessing. Cars would drive into the Mill & cars would come back out. Thank God. One car stopped on the way out to talk to us. We gave her information & A Maafa 21 DVD & I asked if she had any children & she said "yes I have 6". I then asked her if she needed any clothes for her children & she said "yes that would be great". I asked her to follow me into the center & she drove her car into the parking lot & followed me into the Material Aid Room for clothes. We started talking as she was looking around the room. She said that she went into Planned Parenthood for 'prevention'. I then educated her to what that meant. She said that she was married so I gave her some brochures about Natural Family Planning & to call a Nurse Practitioner friend of mine Anne, to help her to learn the method. She said that she would call the next day. She said that she & her husband were going to nursing school at Nazareth. I hope & pray, that all will be blessed, with this family of God. She left thanking me & smiling, with her bags of clothes, hats & toys, for her family & more literature too. Glad to help & to serve. Donna had to go, for it was about 4PM now, so I went back to the sidewalk to be with John & we witnessed until Martha arrived at 4:30PM from her 8 hour job, to have supper, in the center, with us. We put things away, from the street, about 5 PM & went in to have a hot sausage dinner with Martha's homemade chicken soup. Dan J. arrived, with a surprise visit, just as we were finishing supper but we still had some food left over. How fortunate for you Dan the Man. We set a big Caesar salad right down in front of him & he was delighted. Some cookies for desert. Amen brother. Martha & I the did the dishes & went into the Material Aid Room to put some bags of clothes & items away & to make up some more truth packets, for the rest of the week. Thanks so much dear Martha. John, was in the office, working on the computer, making up some fliers for future use. We all left around 8PM, it was cold & snowing.
Wednesday, January 6, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood It was John, Tucker & I tonight from 4PM to 6PM. Tucker set up the signs & John was witnessing, on the sidewalk, until I put away more clothes & items, that we just received, at the center. I went out to join them around 5 PM. It was getting dark out but we were still effective, in what we were doing, on the front lines, in witnessing the truth to the people driving in & driving by & walking by us, on the sidewalk. We were discussing our future plans, for our center to move, across the street, sometime this Spring. It's been slow but sure. The process is a learning process & we trust in the Lord to guide us in this new adventure. Tucker left at 6PM as he always does. It was not busy at Planned Parenthood, thank God!
John & I stayed to do some work in the center. One project was to paint the water leak, on the ceiling, in the center. It was a messy job but needed to be done. Can't wait to move!!!!!
Thursday, January 7, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood John & I went to the front lines after the noon Mass downtown. We set everything up, on the sidewalk, & started to witness. For this is a baby killing day at Planned Parenthood. Martha came about 20 minutes later. I was walking over across the street to talk to Jeff regarding the new center when a station wagon came into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood & 4 young people got out, 3 girls & 1 boy. My heart sank, for I knew that one of them was there for an abortion. I stood across the street hollering for them not to go in & that we could help them. Martha & John were on the sidewalk, next to the trees, calling out to them too. The death escort Sylvia Rose escorted them into the Killing Mill to kill, one of the girl's precious baby. I felt sick. Just then another car came in & the same scenario came about & they were escorted by, the blood thirsty long time evil death escort, Sylvia Rose, again. My legs felt like jelly as I continued to walk over to see Jeff. I spoke to him briefly & went back over to the other side of the sidewalk, to be with Martha & John. John was continuously singing Christmas Carols & religious songs, as a witness of God's love, to try to penetrate the stony hearts of men. Just as I was turning around there was Suzanne coming to say hi to us before she went into the center to work & to call our clients to see how they were doing in their pregnancy. I was glad to see her, for she also is a God sent, to the center. A few minutes later I was thinking about going into the center for something when I saw a man walking down the sidewalk. He then said to me "are you Mary"? I said "oh yes you must be Tom, the insurance man". "Yes, he said". I said "lets walk into the center to talk". We sat down in the meeting room to discuss liability insurance for the center. He was very information & pleasant. We spoke for about half an hour & then he left. Hi dear, sweet baby!! Suzanne then told me that on of our clients had given birth on December 29th., 2009 to a 8 lb. 6 oz., 20 inches, baby boy named Aiden Ali. Mother & baby were doing well & will visit us, in the center, on January 19th.. Can't wait!! Thank God for this precious baby to be born & not aborted, last year at Planned Parenthood. I rejoiced in this great news for life!! We are also expecting some babies to be born early this year too. I went back outside to tell Martha & John the wonderful news, to which they rejoiced in.
We looked across the street, to see who was hollering at us, only to find out it was the middle age man named Jim, who just bought the first condo nearest to the corner. He was making the sign of the cross at us, many times over. I told him he was committing blasphemy & to stop, for his soul sake. He then hollered to us saying "I just spoke with Fr. O'Malley & he said that he was coming to do an Exorcism on you". I said "I'd like to meet Fr. O'Malley, he sounds Irish". Then Martha said "maybe Jim, he meant you for the Exorcism, for you live across the street from a Killing Mill". We told him to go away & as he was going into his garage, still mouthing off, & as he was walking under the closing garage door, bending down, it looked like he was about to be decapitated. How awful. What goes around come around. Though, I would not have wanted to see that horror. God is merciful! We need to pray for the crazy neighbors on University Ave. some more. After a short time passed by I saw that a young woman was hollering something to us from across the street at the Vets office. I couldn't hear her, usually in those cases I'd just ignore the person rather than go across the street by myself & have a altercation. But on this occasion & felt like I was being guided across the street to confront her, in a nice way. As I was getting closer to her I recognized her face from somewhere. As I got over to her side of the street I said to her "you look familiar". She replied angrily "I am a waitress at the ---------- Restaurant. I am trying to give her anonymity. I was surprised. She then said, "I am deeply offended at what you are doing, especially in having a man over there, he doesn't have a uterus". Like that makes him not able to stand up for life. How ridiculous ! I said "it takes a man & a woman to make a baby, not just a woman". It got worse. She said that she was gang raped & got gonorrhea & conceived. I held onto my heart, for the next sentence, which was "and I had an abortion". I knew that was coming. I said that I also was gang raped & I conceived & that I didn't have an abortion. She got real mad at me & put her finger in my face, I withdrew back from her flaming anger. I said to her that the rape wasn't her fault but that the abortion was, that it was taking a life. She then hollered back to me that she was raped again & she conceived again & had her baby daughter. To which I said "I am glad that you didn't abort your other child". I said to her "rape is horrible but taking a life is worse, at least you are walking around, your baby isn't". She then walked into the Vets office. She was so mad at me but I needed to tell her the truth for her to repent & to get help & healing. That was my mission today, for her to hear the hard truth. (Don't think I'm insensitive to the rape survivors plight, if she gets pregnant from the rape, but I do know that abortion is NOT the answer. She can get some relief after the rape, through counseling, love & support, for it is never her fault, that she was raped. But in having an abortion, a woman or girl, remains a victim to that realization, that an innocent baby was killed, for the crime of the rapist, even after God forgives her, she can't forgive herself. She can get healing & that can ease the pain but not entirely. She can never really forgive herself for the taking of a life of an innocent baby, that was conceived in that violent act against her, now she has repeated that violent act upon an innocent victim, just like herself. The rape isn't her fault but the abortion is her fault. Such guilt to bear. This makes her situation worse no matter what the general population thinks. Abortion always takes a life & it is not good for a woman nor the baby. Rape wounds the heart, emotions & psyche & sometimes the body but the victim is not dead from the rape, she is wounded, if she survives it. Rape is evil & is horrible & I do understand the horror of it as a survivor.) When she came out of the Vets office I offered her some special literature for help & healing. She refused it & drove away with her husband. I only hope that she will see, how wrong it was for her to have an abortion after the rape, & seek out help from a good person. Two wrongs do not make a right. Unless she gets out of denial, thinking that she had the right, to have an abortion, she will be tormented forever & never be at peace, which can only come through God's love & forgiveness. I pray her well & all women like her. There by the grace of God go I, perhaps. I then went back to the other side of the sidewalk to be with Martha & John & Martha told me that she was praying for me across the street especially when she saw that she was being aggressive towards me. It was a very sad story for sure. As I was standing I saw the station wagon with the young kids driving out. We spoke truth to them. I said to them "I hope that no baby was killed here today" & the young girl in the front seat looked at me with sad eyes & nodded her head 'yes'. What is in store for these 4 young kids, in the future, is mind shattering. How they will suffer. It all could have been avoided, if they only drove away, & not have gone in Planned Parenthood today. "Lord have Mercy" I told them as they drove out. My heart was aching at this point. Then after that, there were the pick ups from the drop off's 2 hours earlier. If these people think that their problem went away today, they are only now fooling themselves. Martha & John went in around 4:30 PM & I stayed out by myself until 5PM, then I went into the center, to eat supper with my friends & to be consoled.
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 in front of Planed Parenthood
John & I were on the Front Lines after Mass, to try to save lives from being killed by abortion, at Planned Parenthood. Mary S. came to pray & witness a little after 1PM. I was waiting for Donna but it turned out that she couldn't make it today. John & I spoke truth to the victims of Planned Parenthood pleading with them not to have their child killed, by abortion.
A bus passed us by & the rude bus driver was making faces at John & I around 2:45pm. I dedicated that I would call the RTS tomorrow to report him. Which I did. Lets see what happens on Thursday. A man that we have given food before from our Food Shelves, came by again & needed more food which I gave him. Also, Tonya came by to receive more food from us too. I hope that her life straightens out soon. A black woman drove out of Planned Parenthood & pulled down her window to say to me that she was 50 years old & had been raped, so shut up. I said that I was gang raped & I wouldn't ever come here to Planned Parenthood, to get counseling, where they kill people. Off she drove away. I was very sad that we, as rape survivors, were not on the same page. I still go back to the realization that abortion (taking a life) is worse than rape (ruining a life, perhaps). I feel that you can heal from a rape, which is a crime against you, & a trauma but you can get healing & live a somewhat normal life. I'm not saying that it doesn't effect you & your life because it sure does but people think that you have the right to 'kill' if you have been raped, which is a 'LIE'.
A police car drove in the parking lot of Planned Parenthood & out came 2 woman police officers & they walked into the Killing Mill. It took me a few minutes but I finally figured it out. They were there for a rape counseling workshop to speak. They were there for about an hour & when they were leaving I told them that Planned Parenthood does not report statuary rape & to check out Child Predators.com & off they went passed the graphic signs of what Planned Parenthood does to people in there. Legal smeagile, they all should be arrested for murder. What are police for, it is to arrest the criminals!! Nothing like working with the enemy. Doesn't it figure, in this liberal city. The Death Escort, Sylvia Rose was there, on a Tuesday no less. Lets see if they start to have Death Escorts on a Tuesdays or she just happened to drop in today to help to kill other peoples children. If they start to have Death Escorts, on Tuesdays, then I have to think that we pro lifers are effecting their killing business, thank God. That means that babies are being saved!! By God's grace always, that babies are saved, we are only the instruments.
It was about 4pm & Sylvia Rose, the dedicated pro deather, was leaving. Just behind her was a mini van which was making a lot of noise. It seemed to me that she had a flat tire or something. Just then a bright red 'caution cone' spitted out from beneath her car. There it was in the middle of the street. She must have seen it but keep on driving. John went into the street to retrieve it. Lets just say that we are able to use it in our leaky hallway, in the center. "Finders keepers losers weepers". Donna, was to pick me up at the center, to take me out for supper, on her Birthday, at the restaurant on Gibbs St., which has great food. Martha arrived around 4:30pm & we worked in the center for awhile until Donna came at 6:30pm. Martha & John, had supper together, with a chicken supper that Martha had brought.
Wednesday, January 13, in front of Planned Parenthood When I arrived I had to go to the restaurant across the street to pick up my jacket that I left there the evening before. Donna took me out on her Birthday. We got talking to one of the people there & she told us her story, very intense. Today when I went over to get my jacket I though that I would educate her with our literature so I put about 6 or 7 brochures in the envelop to educate her. When I went over she gave me my jacket & I gave her my envelop without a word. It was so natural. I hope that she will be enlightened by the information. If she has any questions she knows where I am. Best to you dear girl. Tucker & John were setting up on the street so when I finally arrived on the sidewalk John told me that he gave away 2 packets & 2 Maafa 21 DVD's. Great job! I stood on the sidewalk for a very short time when a sweet young girl came around the bushes. She walked slowly pass me when I asked if she needed anything like a free pregnancy test. She said that she just found out that she was pregnant so I asked her to follow mw into the center to talk. She followed me in said that she also had a baby daughter who was 1 year old. So I said for her to take some clothes for her daughter, which she did. She said that Planned Parenthood did an abortion on her less then a year ago & then she began to cry. I gave her many names & numbers to call for help. I called Sandi at Embracing Options, which deals with post abortion counseling called PACE. She will call our client back soon to start the healing process. She also told me that the abortion was a 2 day procedure starting with taking a pill on Tuesday & aborting on Wednesday. She said that they used a needle then she heard a vacuum & saw blood. She kept on crying. She said that her mother made her do it. I said not this time, we will talk to your mother if you want us to & let her see this DVD about Growth & Development, of a baby in the womb, that will change her mind along with the grace of God. She said that she would watch it. I gave her names & numbers of 3 doctors that she could call, that could help her with prenatal care. She said that she would tomorrow. We then went into the Material Aid Room again & I picked up a little blue Teddy Bear & gave it to her saying, "this is for your son, who grow up & you will be proud of him". She smiled for the first time. Yeah!!!! I gave her a big hug & said a prayer for her & her baby & off she went with baby clothes, literature & names & phone numbers, a little blue bear & a Bible, & her knowing that people cared & wanted to help her. We will keep in touch with her you can be sure, sweet girl. My heart went out to her, for she was lied to & deceived by her mother & Planned Parenthood. I gave food, to a man that was down on his luck, from our food shelves. He was very grateful. I was happy that we could bless him.
Thursday, January 14, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha called to tell me that she was sick & could not make it today. John was not available until later, & Bill left the sidewalk when I got there. I think that he got there at 12noon till 1pm instead of 1pm to 2pm. I called him later on to clear this up for next week. So I was alone on the sidewalk battling Evil, with the help of the Lord & Mother Mary & St. Michael & the Warrior Angels, with me. I prayed in tongues & Rick Bartell, who works at Planned Parenthood, was curious so he walked to the sidewalk to find out what was going on, only to see just me. They don't understand Spiritual Warfare. Cars were going in & I spoke 'life' to all of them, but they do not listen to the Truth, so they go into Planned Parenthood to have their precious child brutally killed, all because, they do not want these God given children, in their lives. They DO NOT want the responsibility in raising this child that was conceived by their sexual pleasure. Like I said to this couple who was waiting for their friend to come out & were talking to Death Escorts, that "children are killed all because of an orgasm", you want the sex but not the child, that was conceived in that activity". How selfish. As I was talking to deaf ears the doors to Planned Parenthood opened & out came 3 Black women, one in the middle, hardly able to stand up, & being held up by one woman on one side & the other woman on the other side of her. As they were driving out I told the women that you both were an accomplice to the crime & murder & to repent. The one woman just looked at me with possible remorse in her eyes. I hope so. Only God can forgive such a horrible sin as abortion. I told the couple that were talking to the Death Escorts, by the entrance, that they will never be able to get that image of those 3 women coming out of Planned Parenthood. That their minds were a camera & this image will be with them forever. Then the woman went, to the parked car, by the door, to get her baby out of the car to show the Death Escorts. My stomach almost dropped. If anyone knows me at all they would know that I hate to see people bring their children into Planned Parenthood. I said to the mom that "this is no place for your child & that if you were pregnant, with this child, & did not want your baby then the very people that you are talking to now would open the door for you to go, kill your baby, in this very building". I said that they only like kids that are born & not kids that haven't been born yet. Prejudice against the unborn they are. They just laughed & turned their car radio on loudly. I said "this must be getting to you & at least you have some reaction, which means there is 'HOPE' for you. I was witnessing on the sidewalk the Truth about abortion & along come the RTS city bus driver who gave me trouble on Tuesday, & I called to report him the next day. So, of course, I thought that they brought him in to speak to him about his stopping the bus to harass me. But I was wrong. There he is, & me being by myself, again stops the huge double bus to harass me. I said "I hope that you stop this for I will call again to report you, I don't want you to lose your job". Well, I guess he didn't hear me because about an hour later there he was again & this time he honked to get my attention only to harass me again. Oh I said to myself "I can't wait for tomorrow to make the call". I did the next day to the RTS office & asked to speak to a Supervisor, this time, no more fooling around. If anyone, who has ever called RTS, they would know that it takes forever to speak to anyone. So the Supervisor finally answered & I told her the whole story but what I didn't tell her was that if it happens again I will call the police to report him for harassment. I feel, this time, someone will speak to him. I told her that this was non professional & inexcusable for a city bus driver to do & also dangerous. She agreed. Lets see on Tuesday what happens. I also told her that I don't want him fired only talked to. What happens now is out of my hands. John was on the sidewalk now & I just had seen a woman come out of Planned Parenthood being held by 2 women after having had an abortion, so of course I was upset. Just then I heard someone say something to me & I turned around to see 3 young girls behind me. One of the girls said to me " Suzanne told us to come to ask you Mary, for some packets". I said " oh yes here you are". I also said "where you in the center"? They said "yes". I then said "is everything okay". The one girl replied "yes, I'm keeping my baby". I said "oh, I'm so very happy to hear that". I said that Suzanne will be checking in with you on Thursdays. She said "that will be fine". I asked if they were all sisters & the one girl said that one was her sister & the other girl was her close friend. I said "so you are a sisterhood", to which they smiled. Then I gave a big hug to our pregnant mom & offered her baby clothes when she finds out if she is having a boy or girl. She said "that would be great". As they were walking away I said to the new mom "I am so glad that you chose life rather than abortion, which I could hardly say the word. She said "yes, I know". They walked down the street to go to their car & I felt like the Good Lord had given me a big hug in letting me know that someone had chosen 'life' for their child. Amen!! See you girls in the near future.
We stayed until about 4pm & I thanked God that He was with me this afternoon. Also, I thanked Mother Mary & St. Michael & all the Warrior Angels, for protecting me too. Thank God for our Heavenly help, in the battle against Evil. John & I worked in the center & he helped me with the leaky ceiling problem. He did good.
Monday, January 18, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Just a reminder that we are having a siege today in light of the 6 story abortion clinic being built in Houston, TX. We will be praying from 6-7pm in front of Rochester's Planned Parenthood @ 114 University Ave. Look forward to seeing you there! Here is the you tube on the building being built @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEEvflenuZM Blessings, Crystal Poirier Jackel, Cause Creator
Bound4LIFE Rochester
Brandon & Crystal Jackel citytocity.webs.com There were about 25 people, in front of Planned Parenthood tonight, with tape on their mouths, representing the voiceless victims of abortion, that are killed here & elsewhere in this country & worldwide. They stood in the cold, for 1 hour, as a witness to life. After that we all walked over to the new center to claim the property for Christ, to work a mighty work. We prayed for the conversion of the neighbors, in this apathetic neighborhood, that does nothing in stopping the mass murdering, that goes on at Planned Parenthood. Their silence is deafening. After praying, on our future site, we all went into the Focus Center, for homemade carrot cake, 3 layers, that Martha made & for Mack's coffee & my chocolate frosted brownies & lots of great conversation. It was wonferful being with pro life friends yesterday at the 'Sanctity of Life' at Bethel Christian Fellowship & tonight. The bridges are being built. The tide is turning. Praise God!!
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Mary S. handed out a literature packet to a black man who rolled down his window to receive it. She spoke to him briefly. About 20 minutes later the car came out of the parking lot & he rolled down his window & said that they had been looking at the packet of information & decided not to go in to have the abortion. I said that was great news & gave then the 2 DVD's that we hand out. I said to them "have a nice day Mom & Dad". They smiled & drove away happy. Mary S. & I hugged, we were thrilled. The next incident that happened was, before Mary S. left at 2pm to go back to work, a car with 2 women drove in & the driver told me that her daughter just found out that she was 61/2 months pregnant & they were going into planned Parenthood to some get medicine. I told them that we had free baby clothes next to the yellow building & when you come out please come over to the center. About 15 minutes later the young girl came walking over to me & then her mother. I told her mother to go get her car & follow us. We all got to the center & they picked out some baby items. They even took the breast pump. They were going to go over to the General Hospital to get an ultrasound this afternoon. The young girl told me that she thought that she was just gaining weight & did some drinking at college & Planned Parenthood told her that the baby would not be normal so she "should kill it". That's what she said to me, as I had my mouth open. I told her that Planned Parenthood was Evil. The mother said that no matter what they will care for this baby. She said that she had a 1 year old at home. Not sure if this was her baby or her grandbaby. Very nice woman & I know that she will take care of her daughter & her grandbaby. I told them to come back when they knew if the baby was a little boy or girl. I also gave them our brochure & pointed out that Compass Care does ultrasounds & STD testing & to keep away from Planned Parenthood. She said that she would. I went back outside & Mary S. had to go back to work & I was alone. I know that the Lord & Mother Mary & the Warring Angels, were with me. Be not afraid I had work to do. The next incident happened soon after Mary S. left. A woman with a darling little boy cane over to me. I said "would you like free baby clothes"? She said "yes I would". I then said we have a pregnancy center right next to this yellow building & if you could help me with these signs & literature box I will take you there. I didn't want to leave these things outside without anybody being there because somebody could come by to steal them. She was nice to help with the box & I with the signs & off we 3 went into the center. I asked her what she would be doing at Planned Parenthood & she said that she brought her cousin in for an ultrasound & that she wanted an abortion & I told her no way & now she is going to have her baby. I said "you did very well & you saved this baby's life form being killed". You are a "life saver & God bless you". I then went over to the Taxi company to get Kaylyn to help me. Her boss said that she could so I left the ladies & the cute little boy to get some baby items. Kaylyn told me to get back outside to "save lives". I told her briefly that a baby was saved earlier this afternoon. She smiled & said "that's great" & off I went back outside with the signs & literature box to set up shop once again, on the sidewalk. There were men on the roof of Planned Parenthood putting on a new roof. I said to them earlier to pray for the mother & fathers & their babies form being aborted. I told them that someone was praying for a baby had been saved. A one guy put up two of his thumbs & said to him then it must of been your prayers that God hear & answered. The supervisor gave me a hand brush & I told him not to disrespect me again. I went on & on & on to the guys on the roof. They had to listen to me, they had no where to go. Then the neighbor came out from across the street to harass me. I was going to let him start first which he did. He put his fingers on his head to make it look like horns. I said to him after that that were are not the crazy ones, we are not killing anyone but they are killing in Planned Parenthood. Now then who's the crazy ones?? He went back into his condo, which is right across the street from Planned Parenthood. Go figure!! Oh now the bus driver, who I reported twice last week, started up again. Some people never learn. This time he took his hands off the wheel to harass me. I guess I have to call the RTS again tomorrow. A car drove out of Planned Parenthood & I said something to her & offered her a Truth packet & she pulled over to the side of the street. I put my head into her car window to speak to her, she looked sad. I then said to her " have you had an abortion"? She replied "not yet", I have a child & I can't afford another". My heart dropped in my chest & then I said "you can't have your little baby be killed for financially reason nor for any reason this is a little brother or sister for your child at home". Then & asked to wait & I went over to the literature box & grabbed the 2 DVD's. The one about Growth & Development & the other was Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st Century & a little baby that was 10 weeks old. I pleaded with her not to do this & I could tell from her eyes that she will nor could not. I consider this a baby saved today. I told her that we have free baby clothes at the Focus Center & anything that she needs & a counselor on Thursdays from 1:30 to 4pm to speak to & she could also help her to receive help in the community. I gave her a brochure. She smiled & said that she would & I started to cry for I told her that I lost a sibling & it was difficult growing up without him. I feel that we connected. She smiled & drove away after I told her to call for assistance anytime of day or night. A young girl pulled into Planned Parenthood & I spoke to her & she gave me the bird. I told her not to show me her IQ & that it was a rape symbol & how discussing for a female to use that to another female & that she was degrading herself. Two young girls came out of Planned Parenthood & said "don't worry lady we're didn't have an abortion. The one girl said "I was in there to have the IUD removed". I leaned over to her & said "did you know that it can cause an early abortion". She said "yes, that's way I had it removed & I'm not going to have sex before marriage & we both are going to get Chastity Rings from our Grandma". I gave then both a big huge together which was a group hug & told them that I was proud of them & that they were our future". They smiled & walked away. A young girl was walking in & she saw the signs & came over to me. I spoke to her briefly & gave her a Truth packet. Thank God that Melody had arrived & was making packets for me to hand out. I must have handed out about 8 or 9 today. She keep me well supplied. The young girl said that she has a child, at home, & was going in there for a physical. I offered her free baby clothes & she said that when she comes out she'd come over to the center to get some. I pointed to where the center was. Off she went into the Killing Mill. A few minutes later 2 young girls came around the bushes towards me. The one girl I recognized for she was the young girl I spoke with last Wednesday, at the center. She was post abortive & has a 1 year old child at home with her & her Grandmother. Her mother made her have an abortion just last year. She is pregnant again & I called her, this past week & so did Suzanne, & I didn't hear back from her so I was worried that she went back to Planned Parenthood to have an abortion. When she saw me she said "I didn't have an abortion, I not going to do that again, I was hear for friend who was being tested for STD"S. I gave her our brochure & circled Compass Care for her to call them & not to come back her again. She said "thank you" & I gave my little girl a big hug & told her that Suzanne will be calling her again & she said that would be fine". I asked if she had spoken to Sandi from Embracing Options for post abortion healing & she said that she had. Great!! I asked if she had seen the Growth & Development DVD & she said that she had & it was very good. Yeah!! I was so glad to know that she was not going to have her precious baby killed. I was worried. I felt like my prayer was answered, by the Lord, which gave me peace of mind. Off the 2 girls went down the street very happy. Walking down the sidewalk was a young girl & a guy. They stopped to talk to me & I asked them why they were going into Planned Parenthood. She said for testing. I asked was if for STD testing & she said "yes". I took on of our brochures for the literature box & circled Compass Care for her to go to get STD testing. She smiled & thanked me & said that it was convenient now for her to go in. I asked her to hide the Truth packet, for I didn't want Planned Parenthood to take it, from her. She came out alone later on & I saw that she was wearing a cross necklace around her neck & I asked her "you must know Jesus" & she said "yes I do". I didn't preach to her but I felt that we had a connection in regards for her to do better with His help. God forgives any & all sins with a sincere heart. Off she went walking down the street. A car pulled out of the driveway with 2 young girls in the front seat. I said to them, as I showed them the graphic sign, of the aborted baby. "here are your tears, where are your tears"? The driver of the car stuck out her tongue at me & I then said to her "where is your heart". Off she drove out of the Killing Mill. So sad. There she was Marsha Peone, starting to look her age, driving into the clinic of death. I haven't seen her in a long time & of course I get hopeful that she had repented, but no. This dedicated former NOW (National Organization of Women) President was back to the Killing Mill. She was picking up another female. As she was driving out I said to her "we love you Massachusetts"!! Later on America found out that Scott Brown, a Rep. won the Senate seat. Yeah!! The 'Tide is Turning". Praise God!! Tanya came walking down the street & introuduced me to her brother & they neeeded food from our food shelves & some baby clothes for his daughter. I told them to ring the bell, at the center, & Melody would take care of them. They said "thank you" & off they went. We have been working with Tanya for many years now & hope that her life will straighten out someday. It was 5 pm so I went into the center to see & talk with Melody for a awhile before I went to the Second Hand store to see my friend & to get more baby clothes & small items, for the center. It's been awhile to go to the store to shop, which I enjoy very much & to see my friend. She leaves me bags of goodies, for the center, in my garage if I can't get over there to the store during the week, which has been pretty hard lately. The center & I were blessed once again. Thanks sweet girl.
Wednesday, January 20, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
Martha & I decided to see what was going on Wednesday afternoons. Some information came my way that Wednesday is also a Killing Day. The abortionist, Racheal Phelps was there, so we figured that she was killing little babies, today. I feel badly that I wasn't there on Wednesday's earlier, for we get there at 4PM that's too late. Hopefully Martha & I can do Wednesday afternoon too. When we got to the center we had to deal with some conflicts there first before we went out to the Front Lines. I got $20, from the Landlord, to replace the loss of literature in the counseling room due to the water leak in the ceiling. If only he'd put a new roof on, there would be no more leaks. Also, we had a discrepancy with the men's bathroom. The guys don't like it because it's too cold & there is a leak, so they use the Women's Room, which I object to. Us ladies want the Women's Room to be clean, at all times, for our clients. So I discussed this problem with the Landlord. Lots of luck to get the Men's Room water leak & heating problem fixed. I can only hope!! Martha & I was setting up outside, on the sidewalk, & I had to go back in the center to get more signs & when I came back out Martha told me that she had an experience with a young man as follows: A young guy was driving into Planned Parenthood with a young girl in the car. He stopped just before he got to the driveway & rolled down hi window to say to Martha, "can I have this sign (our graphic sign of a precious aborted baby)? Martha said "no" this is a picture of an aborted baby. Then he said " I want to put it into my bedroom, for I am a Pathologists student". Martha said "that's not going to happen". The car went into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood & then drove right out. How sick! I'm sorry that I wasn't with her when this happened, for I was gone for such a short time. God is with us.
Martha & I were standing on the sidewalk when a car was coming out of Planned Parenthood. There were 2 women in the car. The driver said to us "she is going to keep her baby & we support what you are doing". I then said to them "we have free baby clothes, in our center, which is right next to this yellow building, just follow Martha & she can help you". They did. She followed Martha, into the center, to get some baby clothes. The mom didn't know if she was going to have a little boy or girl but she got a blanket never the less. The mother-in -law, that was driving the car, said that they were coming back tomorrow to Planned Parenthood to get an ultrasound. Martha suggested that they call Compass Care instead & gave them the phone #. They said that they didn't like the feeling they got, when they went into Planned Parenthood, & now even more so because they know that they kill babies there. I hope that they will call Compass Care to get the ultrasound. When they know, if she is going to have a boy or a girl, then they can come back to get some baby clothes & small items. We will keep in touch with these 2 wonderful women. When Martha came out of the center she was trying to pray her Rosary when a young man came pass us on the sidewalk. He looked like an okay guy but looks can be deceiving. He stopped & said "can I get this sign for I want to protest down the street to support you guys". I said "no, we use these signs for our ministry to show people the Truth about abortion". I said "I can get another sign, in the center for you instead". I'm so gullible & naive'. He then turned into the devil & said "you both are crazy I was only messing with you two crazy people". I was so glad that I didn't go into the center to get him a sign for a protest & leave Martha alone with him. Thank you Lord! As he was walking away I said to him "your mother was pro life for you are born & not aborted". He replied "don't say anything about my mother" & walked down the street. Martha & I looked at each other & said "this is the second time a man has come against us". Thank you Lord for protecting us again!
I think another baby was saved today but I'm not sure. Two girls parked, in Planned Parenthood's parking lot, near where I was standing on the sidewalk & I spoke to them. Then they drove away from me in the Planned Parenthood parking lot. About 10 minutes later they left. As they were leaving I spoke to them again to offer them help. I know that they saw the signs out there & God is blessing our ministry. I know that they were killing little babies today, thank God, not hers. A car drove in with a young girl & guy. The girl got out of the car & the guy stayed in the car. Not good a scenario. I noticed that he was sitting in the car for a long time which is not good. This usually means that the girl, who went in, is going for an abortion. I then started to talk to him more seriously. He smirked at Martha & I, which gave us both the creeps. After awhile he started to give us his middle finger & when he pulled out of the driveway with the girl in the car, he really gave us the finger. I know that his conscious was starting to bother him but it was to late, his baby was dead. How very sad, that sometimes they realize what they did, after they do it when it's to late for the baby & for them. Lord have Mercy on their souls & we hope & pray that they both repent, very soon.
Two girls were walking sown the sidewalk & went into Planned Parenthood. Martha spoke to them. They came out a few minutes later & came over to us. We spoke to them & Martha brought them into the center for a pregnancy test & instruction for better behavior. Sometimes when the girls get a negative test they think that they are 'out of the woods' & go right back to the same destructive behavior until they get caught. Instead of learning they make the same mistake again. Playing 'Russian Roulette" which only makes you a 'loser'. The cycle has to change!! A young was walking up the street & I stopped her to ask if she would like some information & if she was going into Planned Parenthood. She said that she was going in for condoms & that she was engaged". I said before you get married you'll be all used up, save yourself for marriage". She waked in & came out about 10 minutes later & walked across the street. I wanted to further the conversation & told her that condoms don't really protect from all sexually transmitted diseases nor pregnancy & if you get pregnant will you come back here to have your baby killed". As she was walking she shook her head 'no'. I really hope not but she's not in that situation now, her mind might change if she is. My advice is "DON'T TAKE A CHANCE, YOU MIGHT LOOSE". Martha now was back with me on the Front Lines, for she was in the center taking care of a client. Just then a guy & a young girl came up the sidewalk & the guy looked at the graphic sign & said "heide Hitler, we're hear to scrap out some stem cells". Here we go again! This is the 3rd. crazy guy that we had to deal with this afternoon. He stayed outside the door of, Planned Parenthood, to have a cigarette & the girl went in. We tried to talk to him but after his smoke he also went into the Killing Mill. How messed up can you be. Sometimes it's so sad out there I wonder how, but only by the grace of God, could Martha & I stand it.
A gentleman, that I knew from days go by, came by to be with Martha & I. He said that he could only stay for a few minutes to give support. After a short time he said that he had to go back to work & was walking back to his parked car on the street. I said something to him & he then walked back towards Martha & I. He said that a long time ago, when he was in High School, his girlfriend came up to him & said "I'm pregnant & I don't want to be & I'm having an abortion". For years he has been suffering from that comment. He wasn't sure if she was telling him that because he was the father of her baby or someone else was. I had to tell him straight out that she was telling him that, because he was the father of the baby. Sometimes the Truth hurts but it will 'set you free'. He will never heal & be set free if he is never sure & goes round & round in this. I said to him "did you had sex with her"? He looked at me funny as if to say "well of course I did". But what I was trying to make him aware was, if you had sex with her then you could very possibly be the father of the baby that she had killed, which was your son or daughter. I gave him a Project Rachal card & hopefully he will call that number to start the journey to healing & be set free from this realization of the loss of his child, so he can grieve .

Thursday, January 21, 2010, in front of Planned Parenthood I knew that I was going to be by myself this afternoon. Maybe not if Bill shows up, which he did 20 minutes later. I knew that Suzanne would in the center at 1:30 so I should be all right. Martha was resting up to go to Washington for the 'March for Life' & John is trying to settle some things that are going on in his life, at this time. I arrived on the sidewalk & was there only for about 10 minutes when a young girl was walking down the street towards me. I asked her if she needed anything like a free pregnancy test & she said that she did. I walked her into the center thinking that Suzanne would be there in 10 minutes so I said to the young girl to relax & go into the Material Aid Room to get some things for your 2 boys, which she told me about as we walked into the center, & that Suzanne would be in to help her with the pregnancy test. I went back outside because I had left the signs & literature box on the sidewalk. Bill was across the street. I stayed for about 10 minutes & became concerned that Suzanne hadn't arrived yet. I decided to pack up & go into the center to help the client with what she needed. I walked over to Bill & told him that I was going into the center & he said that he would stay until 3pm, it was 1:30pm now. I thanked him & looked over to the 2 Death Escorts only to see the blonde give me a demonic smile through the bushes. Off I went to the center to concentrate on our young client. I found her & told her that I was going ahead with the pregnancy test. She asked to use our phone to make a call first. I gave her the phone & went to set up the pregnancy test. My cell phone rang & it was Suzanne calling to tell me that she had a fender bender at Delta Sonic up the street & will be at the center in about 15 minutes. I was glad to hear from her. The client did the pregnancy test & it was positive & was post abortive with 2 boys at home, with her mother. Lord give me the right words to say. She was affected by the past abortion & her mother would support in her decision. Thanks mom for your wishy washey mentally. Thank God that she wanted this baby. I made an appointment for her at Embracing Options for the PACE program. This is for Post Abortive women & girls to heal & reconside with the Lord. Also, I got her to call Compass Care to go for an ultrasound & STD testing, for this afternoon. Just then the doorbell rang & it was a young girl asking for a pregnancy test. I brought her into the meeting room & gave her some magazines & told her that I would be with her in a short while. I asked her if she wanted some water but she said "no". She was very nice. I went into the counseling room to be with our other client & asked her to fill out an Intake Sheet, which she did. I then said for her to go into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her 2 sons, which she did. Just then the front door opened & there was Suzanne. I gave her a hug & orientated her real fast. She went into the meeting room & assisted our new client with a pregnancy test & some counseling. After that I briefed her about our other client who was pregnant. She called her mother & told her that she was pregnant & her mother left the decision up to her, in what to do. Thanks mom. We all 3 talked for awhile & then decided to call, Compass Care, to try to get an appointment a little earlier. Suzanne called & got a 3pm appointment. She said that he would drive her over for the appointment & stay with her & then take her home. I then encouraged her to get enough things for her children & hurry to get to the appointment on time. She did. She was blessed with many nice things to take home to her sons. All is well with this mom. After they left I stayed in the center to do many things. I know that the Lord was with the victims going into Planned Parenthood & hoped all 'Chose Life'. Planned Parenthood did not look busy this afternoon. I feel strongly that the hearts of men are changing, through the grace of God!! I got a fast bite to eat & did some work in the center. Janet', who is a Social Worker & loves the Lord, came in around 4pm, for a counseling session & I was blessed by her love & support & prayers, for my healing of my past wounds. God is Great!! I got a call on my cell phone & it was my sweet nephew Sammy, asking if I could come over to see him. I said "yes" in a hurry. I left the center at 6:30 pm, to go see my sweet Sammy & his sister & their mother, my adopted sister.
Friday, January 22, 2010, in front of Planned Parenthood This is also the 37th. year of Roe v. Wade. The decision to have, little babies torn apart, in this county. I went to Mass downtown at Our Lady of Victory at 12:10pm. After that I went to Planned Parenthood & when I arrived there were people already there saying the Rosary. Israel was also there praying, I was glad to see her. I sidewalked counseled, while they prayed, which is an ideal situation. Prayer power & speaking Truth, wow! I was blessed today being with these fine people, which were from St. Leo's in Hilton. Good job Fr. Joe. After a while I noticed a woman walking down the sidewalk towards us. I stopped her to talk with her & I was glad that she was open for the Truth. She said that her cousin was in Planned Parenthood for Birth Control. Our conversation went on from there. I gave her a literature packet & the DVD of Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century. She said "thank you" for all the info. & said that she will look it over. Amen my sister. Prayer & Education are the Keys, to saving lives, for Christ & of course His grace too.
We were praying & counseling. I gave away many Truth packets this afternoon. Praise God!! Just then a fire truck drove up to th sidewalk & 2 men got out & went into Planned Parenthood. I asked the fireman if everything was all right & he said that it was. Okay so we continued to do what we do. As they were leaving, about 20 minutes later, the RG&E car came in so I figured that they had a gas leak scare, in the Killing Mill. 'Now is the acceptable time', the Bible says. Soul be ready to meet your Maker. We know that but they inside Planned Parenthood don't seem to. Pray for their conversion & repentance & to be saved, by the power of God. Two young girls were walking, down the street, on the other side of Planned Parenthood. I called over to them & they came over to us. I asked if they needed a free pregnancy test & they said that they did but first they had to go into Planned Parenthood. I asked why would you have to go in there? Off they went into Planned Parenthood. My heart dropped. I didn't want to loose these girls to the lies & corruption of Planned Parenthood. Everyone but Israel had to go. I knew that I had a 4pm appointment to see Fr. Leone who is my & the Focus Center's Spiritual Director. I then asked Our Lady of Guadeloupe to get the girls out of Planned Parenthood for me to give them a pregnancy test before I had to go to see Fr. Leone. She did. They both came out about 10 minutes later & walked over to me on the sidewalk, for Israel was in the center making up some Truth packets. I asked the girls to carry in the signs while I brought in the literature box, into the center. I gave them a pregnancy test which was negative but they were Post Abortive at 17. My heart ached for them & their babies. I gave them Sandi's number at Embracing Options for the PACE program, for help & healing. http://www.afterabortion.org/healing/index.htm & http://www.afterabortion.org/jericho/RESOURCE.htm They said that they would call & go there. Good girls. Off I went to my appointment which I was only 5 minutes late & Father understood. He is a blessed priest. Also Fr. Cushing blessed me with more DVD's for our center. It's great to have fantastic people in my life. I am blessed. Father heard my Confession & gave me the Sacrament of the Sick. Thank you Father. Doesn't this want to make you cry. Poor Baby. This is abuse. After our talk, I went to the bank to make a deposit, for the center & then went to Subway for supper. After that I was to meet the gang over at the Unitarian building, for Father said it wasn't a Church, for the pro death talk, given by the abortionist at Planned Parenthood, Rachael Phelps. When I arrived I saw Rob , who had come earlier. He helped me with the signs & as we walked to the corner of the street there were already people standing there. We were about 10 people witnessing for 'Life'. The cars came in but to my delight there were not many. A Planned Parenthood fizzle. The pro lifers said that they were going in, so I figured that there may have been more pro lifers in there than pro deathers. Yeah!! Who wants to come out, in the night, to hear a 'baby killer' speak. You have to be crazy. The pro life spies were beneficial to the cause!! There were 3 of us left, on the sidewalk, & we stayed until about 8pm, to witness. One sad incident did happen. One of the pro lifers was holding a sign which read "Women DO Regret Their Abortion" & a car, who was driving in, stopped to say "not every woman regrets her abortion" & then drove into the Unitarian parking lot. Poor lady. I hope that she repents & gets healing. She is so Post Abortive & is in denial. Cars were leaving before we left, there were about 6 cars that left before 8pm. 'The Tide is Turning'. It takes a man & a woman to make a baby!! Why don't the Pro Choicers get it!!
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood I was running late, for noon Mass downtown, like always but when I parked on Andrews I spotted a woman with a child about 6 years old. I felt lead by the Lord to engage her. I offered her a Rosary & then told her that we, at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, could give her clothes for her son, if she needed them. She said that she did. I said to her quickly, that I would be at the center at 1pm & gave her the address & told her that it was up the street, in the strip mall. I said 1:30pm would work out well for me & she said that she would see me then & off I go to Church & I wasn't even late, thank God. After Mass I headed over to the center & there she & her son were, in the parking lot by the center, she came early. She apologized but I said that it was okay & really it worked out better that she came early. I brought her & her 6 year old son into the Material Aid Room, to get some things. She & her son were blessed with many nice things. She also needed food for her & her son for they had been invicted from their home. I told her to take what she needed & to come back at another time also for more clothes & food. She said "thank you & that she would". My heart went out to her & her son.
Mary S. came right after the mother & son had left. I was glad to see Mary, for she comes on her lunch hour, on Tuesdays, to be with me to witness on the Front Lines. God bless her for her faithfulness. I told her that I was expecting a man to deliver a microwave from St. Mark's Knights of Columbus & if she could go to the Front Lines, for awhile, I will be there as soon as the man comes with the delivery. Well I didn't want her to be by herself, for very long, so I decided to go to the sidewalk to be with her. I wrote a note for the man, who was to deliver the microwave, & left it on the door & told him where I will be. He came later with a huge microwave, for the center, thank you all for the gift. We appreciate it very much!! Nasty Man!! When I came back to the sidewalk to be with Mary S. the guy on the roof,
where a bunch of guys were replacing the roof to Planned Parenthood, started to harass me. He hollered down to me to get a life & to go home. I said "keep it up & I will report you to your boss & you could lose your job". He was a smart mouth. He did something with his finger & I told him that it might drop off, for God sees it all & He protects His own. Where did this guy come from? These guys have been on the roof for a week now & I get flap from this guy now. I told him that if he had paid for an abortion, in the past, that we could help him to recover. Most people that harass us are 'Post Abortive', men & women alike. How frustrating it is for us, because they don't understand that we are the ones that can help them, to get the real help they need, in order for them to recover. How sad! As Mary S. & I, were standing on the sidewalk, a car was coming out with a baby, in a car seat, in the back & a post abortive woman in the front. She had been picked up by a guy who had just driven in. She was slumped down in the front seat & had that look in her eyes. Now this little baby in the back seat just lost his or she brother or sister. The child will find out someday & will need much healing & forgiveness. I hope that there will be forgiveness in this family that 'took a life'. What about the siblings that are suffering, with the loss of a brother or sister, who is helping them? They are hurting too.
Melody was in the center helping clients that I brought in to her to get baby clothes & food. Mary S. left at 2pm. & Maria came just as she was leaving. Great timing Lord & thank you. I knew that God was with us. Before Maria started to say the Rosary I told her that I just saw a cardinal. I couldn't believe it. I thought that this bird comes in the Springtime, he lost his family, they left Rochester without telling him. Poor birdie. Seeing this bird made me feel that the Lord was blessing our ministry. Earlier when Mary S. was with me just before she left, there were 2 boys around 9 or 10 years old who came around the bushes & looked at the graphic pictures. The one boy said "this just isn't right". We said that this place kills babies. We have to tell the truth & we felt that they could handle this info. They were young with such wisdom. I gave each of them the 10 week old baby, with the growth & development chart. They said that their Aunt was in there & then went back to there car, which was parked next to the bushes. About 25 minutes later now Maria was there, when a woman came around the bushes, & said to us "are you both Christians". We answered "yes". Then she asked "why did you tell these boys that they kill babies in there". I answered "because they do". She said "yes I know they do but to tell the boys that". I said "they came around the bushes & saw the pictures & we told them the Truth". That's what we do. I offered her a packet of literature & she said "no, that's okay". I said I have a DVD that talks about Black Genocide". She said in a hurried voice "give me all that you got". I did. I forgot to mention that during all of this going back & forth, with Mara & I, she was on her cell phone. Talk about multi tasking! There was a little girl with the woman & 2 boys who was as cute as a button & she was taking the literature from me to give to her Aunty. She waved good bye to me as they were driving away. She melted my heart.
Two women & a man, holding, a baby walked down the sidewalk on the opposite side if the sidewalk where we stand. As they were going into Planned Parenthood, I hollered over to them to come to the center for 'free baby clothes' when you come out. the one woman responded that they would. I was so glad that Melody was now in the center & when they come out she will assist them in getting baby clothes for the baby. When they came out they were directed to the center by Maria for I had to go into the center for a few minutes for a parishioner from St. Marks Church in Hilton gave us a huge microwave oven. It was from the Knights of Columbus there. Wow!! So I had to tell the man, who was delivering it, where to put it in the Meeting Room. When I was coming down the hall, in the center, I saw this family in the Material Aid Room getting clothes for their sweet baby. I asked them why they were at Planned Parenthood & she said "I wasn't in the back room I was in the front room for rape counseling". I said I will find a counseling place that you can go to instead of Planned Parenthood, & when I do I will call you. I gave her a hug & told her that it wasn't her fault & that she was not alone. I pray that she will heal by the power of God. I later Goggled : 'Christian rape counseling in Rochester, NY'. It came up with two: One was Agape Counseling, which charges on a sliding scale, which wouldn't work for her. Another was Victory Baptist Church, 32 Wildbriar Road, Rochester, NY 14623, (585) 334-8524. I later called & have an appointment on Monday afternoon. If I feel this is a good place I will refer our clients there. I will also give this information to Compass Care also. Let's hope & pray that this is our answer for our sexually abused clients that desperately need love & healing for this trauma. So much pain. They were blessed with many nice things for the baby boy. How cute!!
Maria left, about an hour later, after saying 4 Rosaries. She was such a blessing, to the sidewalk ministry today. I stayed by myself for a little while then went into the center to work with Melody. After supper we put baby clothes & items away that I was blessed with from the Second Hand Store, in East Rochester. Thank you Ana & Cathy. You guys rock. Our Material Aid Room looks so good because of you. What a blessing you are. The doorbell rang & there was Jim with 4 bags of food for our 'food shelves'. Just behind him, was our street friend Cleveland, asking for Ramon noodles. It just so happenes Cleveland, I do have Ramon noodles for you. He was so happy with creamed corn & Ramon noodles. Supper's on!!
I asked Jim to help us with the microwave to put it against the back wall instead of on the kitchenette, for it was to big. He moved it over to the table, in the meeting room, & helped us to program it, for our use. God sent us an angel at the right time. Thanks Jim!! Melody & I went home after putting more things away. Thanks Melody!
Wednesday, January 28, in front of Planned Parenthood
I got to the center a little before 4pm. I was in the center for just about 5 minutes when the doorbell rang & there was a woman looking to be blessed in the Material Aid Room. She has twins & needed more things. She went away happy with her selections, with food & baby clothes. We are glad to help. Tucker came at 4pm and we talked for a few minutes regarding the new center & he went out to the Front Lines, by himself. Sorry about that Tucker, next week John will be back & he will be with you on the street. I will be in the center with the Elim students. We have been short handed, for a few weeks, but next week all our prayerful warriors, Martha, John, Donna & Bill, will be back, on the street, defending 'life'. God is Good!! Carol will be coming back in April & M.R. will be back, when the weather gets warmer, for she suffers with Fibromyalgia, as I do & the cold really bothers her. She's been with us, on & off, for 4 years now. We miss ya!
The doorbell rang again, about 4:10pm, & there they were, the 4 Elm Bible Institute students. I welcomed them to the center. Becki was back. Her & Amber, who had to drop out of school due to financial reasons, were with me in the center for about 3 months last Fall. They were such a help to me in the center. I was sad that Amber had to drop out & that she wouldn't be back. The new girls were very happy to be working in the center, for a couple of months. I kept them very busy starting with taking out of my car, all the bags & boxes, filled with children's clothes & small items, like books & such, that I got, from the Second Hand store in East Rochester. Then & I gave them assignments & they were very busy, up to the time that they had to leave, 2 hours later. Next week I will make sure that get I get to know them better. We all gathered in a circle, holding hands & prayed before they went on their way, back to school, which is about a half an hour drive. See you young ladies next week. You blessed me tonight.
Thursday, January 28, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
I knew that it was going to be only me, on the front lines, which is not good. The Lord provided Paul for me. I asked him at the Mass at noon at Our Lady of Victory. He said that he was going to Wendy's first then her would come to the sidewalk to pray. When I arrived to the center there was the lady who was with her son that I meet on the sidewalk by the church. She said "I'm back & I have a stroller this time". That was just fine with me. She received what she needed & was so happy. Just then Suzanne, the counselor, came in & I introduced them to each other. They sat down & talked for awhile. If we can help, we will. I went to the front lines, with 2 graphic pictures & the box of literature. I was by myself, for awhile, when Paul came on the scene with 2 hamburgers, which I ate later on. Thanks Paul. The day was very cold & snowy & windy. Not good conditions. Never the less, we handed out 6 Truth packets, to people coming out of Planned Parenthood & on the sidewalk. Yeah!! A man stopped to ask directions to the Veteran's building. It seemed that Paul knew where to tell him to go to get there. I handed out 2 packets to 2 young girls, who were walking down the sidewalk. They looked nervous after seeing the graphic pictures, I understand. A woman was hollering, like a banshee, across the street at the Vets. 'Yes to animals' & 'Yes to people', too, missy. Lets be fair! I had to ignore her, for I was busy where I was, & what I was doing, on my side of the street. I hate to say this but she was probably 'post abortive'. I wish that I could have helped her, if she only knew. It is so hard to reach these people, they won't listen. Poor Paul, his hands were frozen. I have to understand, that he wasn't prepared to come out in the freezing cold, to stand on a sidewalk for 21/2 hours. He was a trooper. He was the Prayer Warrior today. I went into the center around 3:30pm & spent time with Suzanne, who was calling our clients, to see how they were doing. I spoke with one of our clients & we are planning a Baby Shower for her with the girls from Elim Bible Institute, in March, she is due in April. We have much to plan to make it a nice party. I will email all the pro lifers, to get nice baby things, for our girl. This was a save, last year, in front of Planned Parenthood. God is Great!!
Tuesday, February 2, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
I got a call from Donna saying that she was sick & couldn't make it today but will try for next Tuesday, I sure hope so. I went to the noon Mass downtown at Our Lady of Victory & Fr. A. had a full Mass for the feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, with lighted candles & incense & music, it was beautiful. I got to the center before Mary S. arrived & I did a couple of things to get ready to out to the Front Lines. Mary S. came & we went to the sidewalk with some signs & the literature box. Then I saw the Death Escort, oh m! Now Death Escorts on a Tuesday. They must be losing business for this to happen. There was a man, with red pants on, walking across the street, & he hollered over to us saying "life begins at conception". I was floored to hear this, for this man showed such wisdom. I said that Planned Parenthood kills babies & he said "that's wrong". We agreed. I asked him to pray for Planned Parenthood. He was so refreshing. Then there were the rude guys, fixing the roof of Planned Parenthood, making comments. Mary S. & I ignored them, for some of them probably lost a child, through their girlfriends or wives abortions. How sad! One of the guys came out of the parking & he burned rubber as he left. Just tell me that he's not hurting. A woman, gave me her finger, as she was driving by, on the street. I just called out to her to repent, for her abortion. Mary S. had to leave & she felt badly for she had to go back to work. I stayed there to witness the 'horrors of abortion'. About 20 minutes later a young girl was walking down the street towards me. She said that she was there for some baby clothes. I said "you are the lady that called me for the baby clothes, if you could help me bring these things back, to the center, I will open up the Material Aid Room for you. She helped me pack up everything & off we went to the center. Her mother-in-law was there, with 2 babies. A girl & a boy. They spent about 30 minutes in the room being blessed with many nice things. The baby girl was crying so I told the mom, who was shopping, that I would feed her baby, which I did. She told me that I gave her a 10 week old plastic baby & she still has it, from last summer. She said that she was coming out of Planned Parenthood, last year, & told me that she wasn't there to have an abortion. Yeah!! Said that she will never go back to Planned Parenthood again knowing that they kill babies there. Good for you dear one. Now the other baby, that was here today, was threatened by his mother to abort him but the grandmother of this precious baby told her not to & she didn't. The grandmother is practically raising the boy because the mother doesn't come around much. The grandmother is loving towards her grandchild & is doing a great job with him. He's going to be a football player. He's a big boy & so cute.
Just as they were leaving the doorbell rang & it was John. I was surprised & thankful. I asked him if he would go out to the Front Lines & that I would be there with him in awhile. He said "yes" & he took a sign & the literature box with him. I was short with the Truth packets & had to get one from my car. It looks like the pro lifer from yesterday gave away some packets, which is great. So I made up a few more & went out to be with John, on the sidewalk. When I arrived, I noticed that the Death Escort was gone. She probably left when I left, when I went into the center, but she didn't realize that I was coming back. So now it was John & I witnessing to 'life'. Just then I saw a woman with a young toddler, coming out of Planned Parenthood. I called over to her that we had 'free' baby clothes, at our center, next to the yellow building. She was on the phone & said that she would come over in a minute. She followed me into the Material Aid Room with her young son. I got to speak to her for a few minutes, as she was getting some things for her son. She was at Planned Parenthood for the Pill & didn't like their attitude. Oh yeah!! She was married with 4 children so I gave her my friend Anne's number to call for Natural Family Planning. She said that she would call her. I hope so, for she was not impressed with Planned Parenthood. I gave her some literature about Black Genocide & the Maafa: 21 DVD. She said that she had called for a Taxi & that she needed to get back outside to see if they had arrived. As she was walking out, she noticed the Taxi Company that has an office, in the same place that we have our center. She asked if they could take her home. I went back into the center & asked Tickabu, the owner of the Taxi service, if he could take her home & he said that he would. I gave her one of their cards & she was grateful & off she went, a happier person. As I was walking back to be with John I noticed that the Taxi cab, that she had called earlier, had arrived. I told them that she was gone & they asked if I was sure & I said "yes, I'm sure that she was gone". They went into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood to turn around & when they were leaving John offered them, for there were 2 men in the front seat, some information. They replied that they would & John gave them a Truth packet. He then offered then the Maafa 21 DVD & when he went to look for one, in the literature box, he found none. I said to them to wait & I'll go & get one for them. They said "okay" & off I go back to the center to get the DVD. When I returned to the sidewalk John was talking to them & I handed the man, on the passenger side, the DVD & he thanked me & off they went, better educated.
I realized that we again had no more Truth packets so I told John that I was going back to the center to make up another. We must have given away about 7 packets out this afternoon. Praise God!! Just as I was coming back to the sidewalk there was Martha coming towards the center. I greeted her, for she has been sick & I haven't seen her in a weeks time, way to long. Glad that she was feeling better now. She asked me if I wanted some coffee & said that coffee doesn't like me but I'll go over to Mack's to get her a cup. She was grateful. I went over to Mack's store, next to our center, & he made up a fresh cup of coffee, for our dear Martha. I got to talk to him & he said that he would come to my place to help me do some work in my basement. He said that he was now closing at 5:30pm every day instead of 7:30pm, to work in a cleaning business in Brighton, cleaning offices. He has 2 full time employees for his business. He said that he was looking a part time person so I recommended John to him. They will connect soon to talk about this. I thanked him for the fresh coffee that he just made Martha & off I go back to the sidewalk to give Martha her hot coffee. She said thank you & then took a sip & said "is there sugar in it". I said "yes, do you want me to get you more sugar"? She said "no". Okay Miss Martha. When I was in the store getting her coffee & talking to Mack she said that she had talked to a nice young gentleman who stopped to talk to her & John, on the sidewalk. He took the last packet & was blessed with the information. Earlier I gave a packet to 2 guys walking down the street & Rosaries & the Maafa 21 DVD, I guess I need to call Father for more DVD's. We are blessed that Fr. burns all our hand out DVD's for out Ministry. Thank you Father for your generosity. Just then a car pulled up along the sidewalk & parked by Buckpit & a woman got out. The woman walked towards us, Martha, John & I, who were on the sidewalk. I then recognized her. She was the lady who stopped at the protest, at the Unitarian Church on January 22nd., to talk to a fellow prolifer & myself. We gave her some information & my phone number & she said that she wanted to protest Planned Parenthood when she could. We said that would be great. There she was today, what a surprise. She meet Martha & John & I then brought her into the center to show her around. Martha & John came in about 10 minutes later. John had to go & Martha & I spent about an hour talking to her. She said that she will be back tomorrow at 1PM to protest outside & to help out, inside the center, when needed. Praise God for His answer to prayer for more people to be with us on the Front Lines. After she left Martha & I had supper & then made up packets & put baby clothes & items away in the Material Aid Room. We left tired but blessed with all the new items that we just received, to give to those who are in need. Thank you Lord for the blessing, that we are blessed with, to bless others with.
Wednesday, February 3, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Anne & Michelle & little Mary, who is 3 years old, came over to the center, after the noon Mass downtown, to help out in the Material Aid Room, sorting out baby clothes. They were a God sent. Valerie, our new person, came with Martha & I out on the sidewalk. We were on the Front Lines when Martha turned around to see a young girl, coming towards us. Martha asked if she needed a pregnancy test & she said that she did. I asked if Martha if she would go into the center to give her a pregnancy test then I asked Valerie to go with her to be orientated. Off they go to the center. I stayed outside & was alone, on the sidewalk, to sidewalk counsel. A car came in with 2 young girls & the male driver. I spoke to them as they were going into Planned Parenthood & the guy put up his thumb indicating that he agreed with me. They came out about 15 minutes later & they stopped along the side of the street to speak to me. I gave them a Truth packet & 2 DVD's. One was the Growth & Development of the baby in the womb & the other was Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st Century. Then the young girl on the passenger side said to me " I didn't do it, for my mother said that Planned Parenthood targets the Black Race. I said "yes they do". Then she said "I need a pregnancy test". I said "please follow me to the Focus Pregnancy Center, next to the yellow building. They did. I showed them where to go & they rang the doorbell & Valerie answered the door to let them in. I was relieved. I then went back to the sidewalk. As I was walking to the center a young woman was walking up the sidewalk & I handed her a Truth packet. I felt badly, that I couldn't speak to her, for I was leading the 3 young people, to the center, for help. God is in control. I went back again on the Front Lines, by myself, for Valerie was with Martha helping her in the center. This was the first day for Valerie & she said later on that she was 'Baptized in Fire'. She adapted so well & so fast. Someone was hollering at me, as they passed by me, in their car, but I was busy so I ignored them. Then I saw that Anne, who helped in the center today, & she was saying 'good bye to me". I thanked her & said "good bye to her' & off she went. After some time I noticed that there was 2 girls walking up the street. I said to them "you're not going into Planned Parenthood, are you"? They said "yes, we are". I said "do you need a pregnancy test"? The one girl said that she did so I lead them into the center. They rang the doorbell & Valerie answered the door. I was relieved & went back to the front lines to witness some more. I was here for about 15 minutes when a young girl & guy came out of Planned Parenthood & walked passed me. I offered them a literature packet & they stopped to take it & also the Maafa DVD. I said "thank you" & I was happy that they stopped. A young guy & girl drove in & the guy dropped off the girl & she went into the Killing Mill. About 2 hours later he picked her up. She was there for birth control, she said & I told her it was an abortificant, which takes the life of the baby earlier on. I told him to stop using her & to marry her. He sped away. Most guys just want the sex & not the marriage & the girls put up with it. Girls got to do better. The power is in "NO" not in "YES" there's where you lose your power. Two young girls were walking up the street & I stopped them to ask them if they needed a pregnancy test. The one girl said that she did, so I lead them to the Focus Center. They rang the doorbell & Valerie answered the door & the 2 girls went in. I went back to the sidewalk. I knew that they were in good hands with Martha & Valerie.
About 30 minutes later the 2 girls were walking up the street again towards me . I said to them "where are you going , I hope not to Planned Parenthood"? The one girl said "yes, I want to see how far long I am". I said "we'll call Compass Care & you can make an appointment for a repeat pregnancy test & an ultrasound". I gave her the number & she called to make a 3pm appointment. It was now 2:40pm so I said "I'll pay for a taxi for you to get to your appointment to be on time". I asked the taxi company that have an office next to ours if he could take her to Compass Care & back home. He said that he would & off they go. When I went back into the center Martha told me that she was negative bit Planned Parenthood told her that she was positive so she was confused. She ended up at Embracing Options for care. Planned Parenthood sometimes gives a 'positive reading' to sell an abortion. The girls are so venerable.
Valerie was with me now. She had left Martha in the center with the first client that went in. The girl had called her boyfriend & her girlfriend, to come to be with her. Her girlfriend had a pregnancy test too. Her & her boyfriend gathered up some baby clothes for their 1 year old. They took 3 bags full. I'm sure glad that we are blessed to bless others. I had picked up, bags of blankets, from the DayStar Nursery, earlier on, before I arrived to the front lines. What a blessing it was for our clients to get beautiful blankets & crib items, in the Material Aid Room. Thank you so much for the donation, DayStar, I love to see the smiles, on the faces, of our clients.
Just then I saw that the young woman, that I didn't have time to talk with earlier, but gave her a packet of information, as I was leading the 3 other clients to the center. There she was again & I felt that now & had some time to talk with her. I asked her if she still had the packet of information & she said that she did. Then Valerie asked her if she was pregnant. She replied "I wish that you didn't ask that, & was twisting her body". I then said "you are pregnant aren't you". She answered "yes". I said that great & she said that she had 2 children at home. I then said "you have a brother or sister for your children at home". I said that we had free baby clothes in the center & to follow me there to receive them, she did. She was blessed with many nice things for her children & I asked the taxi company to take her home & we would pay for it. She was very grateful for the taxi cab ride home with bags of things for her children. I said "they are going to think that Christmas came early", she smiled. I gave her a hug as she went into the taxi & then I said that if she needed anything else please give me a call. I gave her a brochure, of the center, with my phone # & email address on it. She smiled & said "thank you". I hope & pray the very best for her & her baby that she is carrying. I then went back into the center.
It was about 4pm now & I was expecting the 4 Elim Bible Institute girls to come, to help me out for 2 hours. Before they arrived Martha, Valerie & I reviewed the afternoon together. The girls came & I greeted them & introduced them to Martha & Valerie. I asked them to help me get the bags & boxes out of my car, for the Second Hand store that we are blessed by, to furnish our center with wonderful baby clothes, toys, books, stuffed animals & small items. Tucker was late today, he arrived about 20 minutes late. Valerie went back out to the front lines & she was by herself, so I asked the Elim girls, to be with her until Tucker came. She sent 2 girls back, into the center, because they were not dressed properly to be out in cold weather. When they came in I asked them if they could work in the Material Aid Room for awhile, sorting out baby clothes. Just then Tucker arrived & he went out to the front lines to meet Valerie & to be with her for awhile. The other 2 Elim girls came back into the center. Just then the doorbell rang it was our client who chose life last year instead of abortion, she came with her pregnant girlfriend. Becki, our Elim girl, who had bonded with our client, last December, when she came in to show us her ultrasound pictures. She hugged her & so did I. I introduced the 2 girls to the Elim girls & to Martha. Later on I introduced them to Valerie & Tucker. We are planning a 'Baby Shower' for them on March 17th. for one of the girls is due in early April. We were so excited in seeing them & the planning of the party. Later on, after some hot chocolate & cookies, the Elim girls had to leave. I invited our clients to go to the Material Aid Room to get some baby clothes for their sons. After awhile, for it was getting late & darker, I became concerned that it would not be a good idea for them to take the bus home, so I asked Martha if we could take them home. She agreed & we did.
We ended up in Irondequoit, so I asked Martha if she could stop at St. Cecilia's Rectory, to pick up the DVD's of Maafa: 21 & the Growth & Development of the baby in the womb. After Father answered the door & blessed the center with many DVD's, Martha & I went to St. Cecilia's Church, which is open 24 hours a day, to say thank you to the Lord for a fruitful day. After our visit, we went back to the center, to do some more work & eat some supper. Glory to God!!
Thursday, February 4, 2010, in front of Planned Parenthood I arrived after the noon Mass downtown & was hoping to see Martha there at the center when I got there but to no avail she was not there. I did a couple of things before I braved the Death Mill, by myself. Thank God that Suzanne arrived early today. She came a little after 1 instead at 1:30pm. I was so happy. We reviewed some things together before I realized that Martha wasn't coming & I will be by myself out on the front lines. It was close to 1:30pm & I went out with the Literature Box & 2 graphic signs to witness & to educate & to pray, for the saving of the lives of God's children, from being chopped up in little pieces & thrown away. Lord have Mercy on us!! As I was walking outside I saw Bill. Oh my! I forgot that Bill comes on Thursdays. He wasn't there last week so 'out of sight, out of mind'. I was glad to see him & I waved to him. He can't hear very well, so I don't speak to him very much, from across the street, where he stands with a sign. I just knew that it was better to have 2 people there instead of 1. I wasn't there for very long when this incident happened. My back was turned towards the bushes, for I was looking for something in the literature box, when all of a sudden I felt an evil presence behind me. A car had stopped, in the street, & he hollered something that is not worth repeating here. I did not turn around to give him any satisfaction & prayed that he would continue his trip up the street & not get out of his vehicle & bash my face in. Thank you Lord for protecting me. That's why it's really best to have 2 or more pro lifers, on the same side of the street, praying & witnessing. You are less of a target then. He saw one female, doing God's work, & was miffed. He probably was a post abortive father. He is suffering with a great deal of pain. Just then the ADC Supply Company truck came out of Planned Parenthood. They worked, putting on a new roof at Planned Parenthood, for the last 3 weeks. I will look them up on Google & send them some vital information regarding Planned Parenthood, where they received innocent blood $, from these evil doers. A young woman, with a toddler dressed in pink, was walking down the sidewalk on the other side of the driveway of Planned Parenthood. I called to her & we could help her but she & her precious child went into Planned Parenthood. I was only hoping that the Death Escorts, one being Barry Swan, would not get to her or anyone else. She came out about an half an hour later & I hollered to her saying "we have free baby clothes in the building next to the yellow building so please come & get some for your child". She started to walk over to me saying "oh that would be nice to get some free clothes". I was leading her to the center & told her to just ring the doorbell & a nice woman named Suzanne will come to the door to assist you, just if you please sign in first. She smiled at me & said that she would. I was so happy that Suzanne was there today. I was still by myself, when another nasty guy drove passed me, & called me a 'fascist'. What's next? I'm an American, trying to save Americans, from being slathered, at Planned Parenthood. Why not call us, who are out there, a 'good citizen'. Oh no that would not be politically correct. Two crazy men today, harassing a woman alone, on a sidewalk, chivalry is dead!! I was hoping & praying that Martha was okay for it wasn't like her to not call me ahead of time if she's not going to be there. Just then there was Martha driving down the street. I waved to her & thanking God that she was there now. Yeah!!! As I was rejoicing in seeing Martha the lady with the toddler was coming out of the center with a bag of clothes & her precious daughter was holding a cute stuffed animal. I wish that I had a camera. Martha spotted her with her child & offered her a ride home. She put the toddler in her car seat that she has in the car for her grandchildren & off they went, up the street. I then saw someone up the street getting a ticket so I used my megaphone to inform Bill to move his car, for he was parked in a 'No Parking' Zone. He hurried as fast as an 80 year old man could & packed up his things & drove away before getting a $35 ticket. I wish that he would pick another spot to park but you don't tell Bill what to do, he doesn't listen. Love ya Bill. Celebrating 14 years of fighting with Bill, on the front lines. Some said that it wouldn't last, how wrong you were. Martha came back, after dropping mother & child home on Main St. & told me that she lived in a dump. She was pregnant, which I didn't know as I walked her into the center for clothes earlier. I went into the center to tell Suzanne & she called, the client, to make an appointment for a pregnancy retest, on Tuesday. She said that she will come back to get another test at the Focus Center. When I was in the center to talk with Suzanne I was introduced to a friendly woman who was with her friend who was at the Account's office. Suzanne had spoken to her & she introduced her to me. We walked out together for Martha was alone. I introduced her to Martha & she said that she loved 'life' & wanted to help out on the sidewalk here to witness. I said that would be great & I hope that I can get you to counsel also in the center. Then a car drove in & I became to call out to the people in the car that we can help them. She then seemed to realize that something was going on here & I said that Planned Parenthood kills babies here. Her mouth dropped open, for she didn't realize that. We tried to calm her down. Just then a bicycle rode passed us & turned around. He stopped his bike to tell us to "keep on doing what we were doing" & that he knew that Planned Parenthood kills babies. I can't help but wonder if they killed his son or daughter, in the past? He smiled at us 3 women & rode away. Then the woman who was with Martha & I told us her story: When she was 19 she got pregnant & her boyfriend told her to "go for an abortion" & that he would pay for it. She didn't know what to do so she went to her grandmother's house, who lived in Jamaica. She went into the house & told her grandmother about her situation. Her grandmother responded "no my child you will not have an abortion, we have never had abortion in this family & you will not be the first". She said that she put her arms around her grandmother & stayed with her until the baby was born then went back home to be with her mother. She then said that her son went back to Jamaica to be a pallbearer, at his great grandmother's funeral, for it was because of her that he was born. I cried. We gave her a hug & she said that she will be back, on the sidewalk soon, to be with us to witness to 'life'.
Today I saw at least 4 women coming out of Planned Parenthood , who had just had their innocent babies be killed. It's so hard to process this horror. Earlier I was walking out of the center & saw a car pull out of Planned Parenthood, so as I was walking up the sidewalk I hollered to the car "they kill babies in there". The guy driving the car put up his thumb & I then walked over to Martha. When I got to her she said that she thought that the car that just pulled out of the driveway had a woman in it that probably just had an abortion. I was sick to my stomach. The guy, who had just picked her up, is thinking that his problems are over but they just beginning. I hope that they repent. Martha & I continued to pray & to witness for awhile longer. I had to go back into the center to get more Truth packets & when I got back to the sidewalk Martha told me what just had happened. She said that a woman came around the bushes & said to Martha that she just had an abortion. Martha was taken back at this information & said to her "how do you feel". The woman almost started to cry & said that she was 2 months pregnant, & that her 19 year old son was going to pick her up on Gibbs St.. Martha was upset but handed her a Truth packet which the woman took & off her went down the street. We were sad together. How can this be happening! We are sorry for the sins against you Lord. Please forgive us. Amen. Martha & went into the center around 4:15pm & waited for Jane't to arrive, for the group meeting, that we have on Thursday's, in the center's meeting room. After, the sharing was over, all 5 of us ate supper together.
I then went to visit a friend of mine at the 'Dance for Joy' studio, off University Ave.. I felt so grief stricken with what had happened today with all the babies that were murdered at Planned Parenthood, I could hardly focus. I did share with her that Planned Parenthood was having the Vagina Monologues Saturday, March 13, 2010
7:00 pm (doors open at 6:30)
Hochstein School of Music and Dance
50 North Plymouth Avenue
My friend has her son at the Hochstein, for music lessons. She reassured me that she will look into this. She was upset. You Go Girl!! There is no stopping Donna, when it comes to fighting against Planned Parenthood's death agenda. Once when she was at the Wegmans store on East Ave. she noticed that there wasn't any cookies for the kids at the Bakery, she has 6 kids, some are grown up but her youngest is 6 months old & Donna just turned a gorgeous 43. So she went up to the Manager & said to him that the reason there wasn't any cookies for the kids, in his store, was because of Planned Parenthood, being in the neighborhood, who does abortions. She said that he looked at her funny & walked away. So when she was at the check out, she said to the cashier "is there many kids that come to this store"? The cashier answered back "I never thought of it before but no, I don't see many kids in this store". I rest my case.
Monday & Tuesday, February 8th. & 9th. in front of Planned Parenthood Monday there were 3 guys praying & witnessing in front of Planned Parenthood. One of the pro lifers opened up the Material Aid Room for 2 clients & their families. They were blessed with many nice things to take home. Also, food from our Food Shelves was handed out for those in need. About 2 Truth packets were handed, out to receptive people, that wanted the truth & to get educated. Yeah!! Tuesday I wasn't there on the front lines due to a real bad cold, so I called in the Troops. To the rescue came Elaine, to open up the center, for Mary S., who comes for 1 hour on her lunch hour, & Donna, who has been away for 3 weeks tending to personal issues, welcome back & Melody, who comes & works in the Material Aid Room, to sort out baby clothes & to make up the Truth packets, so that we can hand them out to the people, also came to help out today. Welcome to our newest recruit Valerie, who I met at the protest of the abortionist, Rachael Phelps,( who kills babies at Planned Parenthood), on January 22nd. at the Unitarian, so called church. She stopped to talk to me & another pro lifer & said that she wanted to get involved, so I gave her my phone number & she called me last week & has now come out onto the street & the center to help out, welcome to the 'A-Team for Christ', Valerie. I talked to Elaine, at one point today, & she told me that a young girl came in for a pregnancy test, because she didn't want to go to Planned Parenthood. Elaine & her had a nice long conversation & she said that she will bring in her pregnant girl friend real soon, for some baby clothes, for she is 5 months pregnant now. Great job you guys! I guess you don't need me but I do need you!! Thank you Lord, that the street & the center, was in very good hands today, like always. God's blessings unto us who serve Him with love.
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
I have had a real bad cold this past week. Ick. I decided to go today to be with Martha because Valerie called in sick with a sore throat. Sounds familiar. I needed to bring the baby clothes that I washed & other things to the center & I didn't want Martha to be by herself. When I arrived there was Martha & Sara & Frank. He came to look at our front door that doesn't close & he said for us to let the Landlord fix it for the door really needs to be replaced. Lots of luck Frank. Sara was there to drop off some food for the 'Food Shelves', thanks so much Sara. She was nice enough to go out with Martha, on the sidewalk, to pray & to witness, on the front lines. I was to stay in the center to put things away & to wait for our client to come to get more baby items. The doorbell rang & I answered it. Sara said that Martha was asking for the peanut butter sandwiches that I made for our lunch. I went to the refrigerator to get it & some cheese & bottled water. Anything for Martha. Sara said that she needed to go after that. I said "okay & thank you". I felt badly that Martha was now by herself on the sidewalk but I needed to be in the center today. I trusted God to protect her, which He did. I put some things away in the Material Aid Room & then went into the office to do some paper work before our Elim girls come at 4pm. I decided to get the other peanut butter sandwich that I made for lunch & was eating it at the desk when I looked up to see a woman walk into the office. I was surprised for I didn't hear the doorbell ring. I said to her "can I help you". She said "I'm looking for the pregnancy center". I said "you just found it". I then said "do you need a pregnancy test"? "Yes I do" was her reply. She then said to me, which was a shocker, that Planned Parenthood won't do a pregnancy test unless you are going to terminate the pregnancy. She said that she was just over there & that's what they told her. I looked at her with such sadness & I think she felt that way too. After the test I gave her a lot of information., a brochure on Margaret Sander & the Maafa 21 DVD, to educate her. She said that she was on Yaz, birth control pill. I told her that there are many problems with that & all contraceptives. She agreed that she never felt good taking it. I referred her to Anne Olek, friend & Nurse Practitioner, who teaches Natural Family Planning. I gave her the phone number & told her to call her for assistance. She said that she would. She thanked me for the information. I asked if she had some children & she said that she had 2 children, so I guided her to the Material Aid Room, to get some children's clothes, which she did . She was grateful for all the help she received & I was happy to give her the help that she needed.
Just then Martha came in from outside & was putting the signs away, in the center. We then sat down to talk. She said that she gave away 2 Truth packets & the man down the street at the Printing Company came out of the building several times to tell Martha to be quiet. They are in bed with Planned Parenthood, for they do business there, so they have received 'Blood Money' from them. Maybe it's driving them crazy. A car drove passed Martha hollering out the window "their better off dead" to which Martha replied "you're not dead because your mother chose life for you". She really wanted to slug her. A car came out of Planned Parenthood, with a friendly driver, who was waving at Martha with his wife slumped down in the front seat, after her abortion. What a man!!!
We were talking when the doorbell rang, it was our Elim girls. Tonight we decided to have a sharing time, which we did for 2 hours. I won't expose any of their stories but only to say that I empathized with their 'life pains'. I love them & hope the very best for them. I know that God is with them & is using them in a powerful way, to help others, in life. What a gift they are to me. Thank you Lord. When it was my time, to share, I felt sick that that was my 'life'. God is a healing God. One of the girls suggested that we end the evening with prayer so we all held hands & prayed to each other. We all went around to give each a big hug good bye & off they went back to school. Martha & I then ate supper together & cleaned up. After she left I talked with the Taxi people about the Slum Lord & how he doesn't do anything, for paying such expensive rent each month. We need to pray for him to change & to fix up his leaky building, before we all get sick. Ten the owner of the Taxi business asked if I was interested in switching rooms. We get their room, to have our Material Aid Room & they get our Material Aid Room to run their business in. Sounds like a plan!!
Thursday, February 9, 2010 I was to sick today, so I will be back on February 16th. in front of Planned Parenthood & in the center. I felt so badly that I couldn't be there to call out to the mom not to have their precious baby killed. May there have been angels, all around Planned Parenthood, to change minds, through the grace of God. Suzanne, was in the center, & she received Rosaries from Bob, who made them, & she also handed out some baby clothes in the Material Aid Room, for a pregnant woman, who came to have her taxes done by Elroy, the tax man, in our hallway. So it's always productive in being pro life. Please continue to pray for the end to abortion. God bless.
Tuesday, February 16, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood People were hollering, at the printing place near Whelen St., saying "why don't you protest global warming". Planned Parenthood does business with them...
A lady told, one of the pro lifers, that 25 years ago she was thinking of having an abortion & was walking passed St. Michael's Church & was lead to go in & she spoke with Fr. Vinney who told her not to have an abortion & she has a 25 year old daughter who is a nurse now.
Three young girls came out of Planned Parenthood & one was our client. I brought them to the center & gave one of the girls a pregnancy test & spoke with her while the other 2 girls were in the Material Aid Room, picking out baby clothes, for our clients' 2 years od daughter. She is pregnant & doesn't know if she is having a boy or a girl. I asked them why were they at PP & one of the girls told me for a test. Which usually means a STD test. I told the girls NOT to go back to that awful place PP & talked with them for awhile & gave them more literature. They were happy when they left. I also gave them cany which they enjoyed. We keep in touch with our pregnant clients once a week, by Suzanne. I don't want them to go to PP, but to come to us for help.
Baby clothes were given out. Noella came back to get some more things, for her granddaughter. Also, a mom came in and got bags of clothes & toys & small items.
We handed out many Truth packets. A car that came out of PP took 3 packets & a Maafa 21 DVD to watch. Prayer & Education are the Keys to changing lives.
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha &Valerie & I were in front of Planned Parenthood this afternoon. I didn't see the abortionist Rachael Phelps blue car in her regular spot near the Administration entrance so I was glad of that but I still take it seriously that women could still be coming for an abortion. They might have another abortionist there one never knows & you can't put your guard down for one minute. I took at this way, that anyone who drives in with another person, might be there for an abortion. Not so for those who drive in alone, which is not as often. Cars stopped for information that we hand out & we gladly give it to them & speak to them briefly. We gave out some children clothes, to those who are in need. We had a meeting at 4pm so we went into the center around that time. The 4 Elim Bible Institute girls came a little after 4pm & then Jane't & Joe Atkins & then Elaine, came for the meeting. Martha & I were also in attendance. We had a blessed meeting with some new & exciting ideas for the center's future. Now we must pray to see what the dear Lord wants for the Focus Pregnancy Help Center. The two Elim students were working in the Material Aid Room when the doorbell rang. I got up to answer the door & there was Noella. She needed to get some more baby clothes, for her granddaughter. I introduced her to the girls & asked them to help her get some things for the little girl. Then I went back to the meeting. The other two Elim girls were working on the computer, putting in the names of our clients, in the database. We have serviced over a 100 clients a year since we opened as a pregnancy center almost 5 years ago. Praise God!! The meeting ended in prayer. Then I spent some time reviewing the last weeks sharing session with the girls & asked them if they were alright after that intense time. They said that they were. I shared that it was difficult for me to share what I've been through & they suggested that I write out, on paper my feelings, or the itraumas that have happened to me in the past, to clear the air, so to speak. I said that I would try it. I love it when the wisdom of others is passed onto me. Thank you Holy Spirit. I gave them all a big hug & as they were leaving, beautiful Becci came walking back to me to give me another big hug. I guess she thought that I needed it. She was so right. I hollered to them to be careful, for while we all were in the center, it had snowed pretty badly. They said back to me that they would be careful & off they went into the night. I went back into the center & Martha & I had supper together & reviewed the day.
These are the notes, that I just obtained, that were taken by a pro life spy, that went into the meeting, on January 22nd. at the Unitarian Church, were Rachael Phelps,the abortionist at Planned Parenthood, was speaking. Read it and weep!!! I was struck by what seemed to be sincere belief that what she's doing is right and good, necessary, her responsibility. I felt sick that she is so totally deceived by satan. My heart longs for her to be enlightened by God and His truth, to be free, and to use her gifts to bring life forth instead of to snuff it out. Later I will write out some quotes from her. Here are some of the notes from the meeting. Heidi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOW meeting 1/22/10 at First Unitarian Church, 220 So. Winton Rd., Rochester NY
Opening and welcome by Rev. Kaaren Anderson
Announcements:
Exhale--a pro choice agency founded in 2000 by and for women who have
abortions, to offer non-judgmental counsel (specifically NOT to make them feel they have sinned or need forgiveness.) Hotline launched in 2002.
Working on opening up the whole East coast. Need people to answer phones and $ for 501C3.
The Vagina Monologues--fundraiser
Discussion of 1/22/10 printed statement from NOW Pres. Terry O'Neill
Domestic terrorism-murder of Dr. George Tiller Health Care Reform.
Dr. Rachael Phelps, assoc. medical director of PP Rochester/Syracuse Region
Issue of lack of providers. "My own path" (from start of med. school in '92 till now). She covered a
lot of territory! Her grandma was a feminist.
Myths re: abortion:
1. Abortion is used in place of birth control.
2. The women who have abortions are selfish and don't care about
children.
3. Women who get abortions make the decision lightly.
4. Abortion threatens children's health.
5. Making abortion illegal will make it go away.
6. Abortion is harmful to women's health.
Benefits of abortion to women: Problem of fetal rights laws--multiple women imprisoned for stillbirths
blamed on exposing fetus to drugs/alcohol.
Abortions at Strong Memorial Hosp. vs. at Planned Parenthood.
SMH-limited OR time and space, more cumbersome, takes 4-5 hrs. Not enough help. Only 2 or 3 nurses/scrub techs who will do it--most not willing to stand up to terrorism (danger of flack). Planned Parenthood -could do 20/hr.! "I keep up-ing the ante. About 40/day now" (due to need
and lack of providers). Working on getting resident training in abortions at
PP.
Medical Students for Choice--created to address need for more providers
(google for more info). 24 weeks viable-legal limit in NYS. Viable, but not necessarily good
quality of life. Dr. Tiller could perform 3rd term abortions because of
lethal fetal anomalies.
Question from one of the pro-life ladies with us (They didn't know we were
pro-life.)At what point do you (Rachael) consider a fetus to be a human
being? Ans. "Can I pass? There's no easy answer to that. It's different for
different people.
....My feeling is that it's all on a continuum, though the pro choice
movement could never say that in a legal forum. I'd rather do an abortion at 6 weeks than 12 weeks.
My line is viability. Then there should be equal rights, not until then."
We offer all patients to see an ultrasound. Most want to see and have a
picture.
Jewish--fetus not considered a baby until a limb comes out.
Bible--there's something in there about "quickening."
Rochester is one of poorest cities in USA-hard to pay co-pays for birth
control.
Talked about a generation of young providers rising up in family medicine
and family planning fellowships....bringing it back into academics,
hospitals. Planned Parenthood offered to train a resident.
As abortion is pushed to the side, so is contraception. Is embarassing how many women come for abortions because they lack basic info about
contraception. OB/GYN residents are not even taught basic info about it.
Fetal rights--Pregnancy is a risk. Fetal rights are coming to a place where
pregnant women are the ones without rights. The Supreme Court decision against partial birth abortion was a huge change. Before that, women's
health always trumped. Harder to stay vigilant and fight.
Question from one of our pro life people:Do you have to file death
certificates for aborted babies?
Ans.--Yes, one must be completed for every abortion, even ectopic (in
fallopian tubes). The info goes to the state. It makes me crazy! The
woman's supposed to remain anonymous, but you have to give so much info, they could certainly figure out who she is: first 3 letters of first and
last names, place of birth, zip code, medical history, # of abortions, name
(of a 5-week old embryo?!)...
Have to sign a consent and wait 30 days on Medicaid if you want your tubes tied. Please pray for her to repent & to stop killing babies & hurting their mothers. She should be saving lives not taking lives.
Thursday, February 18, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
I'm so very happy to report to you, that one of the workers at Planned Parenthood, has quite!! Praise God! Her name is Corey & she is now looking for a job in Human Services. Also, please pray for Corey that the Lord will bless & provide for her, in her 'new life' away from Planned Parenthood. Thank you. Suzanne, our Thursday counselor, gave a pregnancy test, to a new client that was referred to us by one of our other clients. She gave her some baby clothes, for her child at home too. She was so very happy.
Today we had a new pro lifer who came with his wife & 2 beautiful children to see how we function as a street ministry & a counseling ministry. They stayed for a couple of hours. There was also the pro lifer from Mondays who came to pray & to sidewalk counsel today. He does such a great job.
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
There was no parking spaces so I had to park on the street & bring everything into the center from far away. I did a couple of things then was starting to bring the signs & literature box outside when Mary S. came. She helped me bring things out & then I went & moved my car that was parked by a meter, my 26 minutes were up. I was glad that I didn't get a $35 parking ticket. Time flies. I then joined Mary S. on the front lines & a few minutes later Donna came. About 20 minutes later we noticed a young girl, coming up the street. I went over to approach her & asked if I could help her & if she needed a pregnancy test or baby clothes, we could help her with that. She said "yes, I need a pregnancy test". I then said "come follow me into the pregnancy center where we can help you. Thank God that Melody came in early today so she was in the Material Aid Room making up packets. I lead the client into the center & we did a pregnancy test & then Melody counseled her & gave her some children's clothes in the Material Aid Room, for her child at home. I knew that she was in good hands so I went back to the sidewalk to be with Mary S, & Donna. I wasn't there for very long when a young girl was walking up the street with a sweet little girl around 2 years old all dressed in pink. Valerie called her over & she walked over to us. I asked her if she would free baby clothes for her little girl or toys or books. She said "yes, that would be nice". So she followed me in to the center. Melody was in the Material Aid Room with our other client so I asked her if she could also help our new client. She said that she would. I left to go back to the front lines. About 10 minutes later the young mom came out with her daughter & as she was getting closer to us I asked her why she was going into Planned Parenthood. She said that her sister was there, that she's been there all morning. I asked for what. She answered. She's hear for an abortion. I tried to talk her out of it but she wouldn't listen & I'm sad about that, & I know that she will have problems now. I said "yes she will & we can help her for we have post abortion information in the center". I then said to her, "you're not diving so how can you be picking her up"? She said that she was suppose to come to Planned Parenthood & that the aunt was going to pick us all up. I then said to her "thank you for giving your precious daughter life". She said that she had her daughter when she was 17 years old. I again said that if you had had an abortion this beautiful little girl would not be here. She said "I know". She said that it's not always easy but she is the joy of my life. Amen to that!!! She then went into Planned Parenthood. Just a few minutes later I saw her walking up the street towards Main. I guess that the aunt had picked up her sister already. I hope & pray the very best for her & her daughter & healing & God's forgiveness for her sister. There were pick ups of women who had abortions earlier this morning. How sad to see this, knowing that the baby has been killed, by Rachael Phelps the abortionist, in Planned Parenthood. It is a terrible feeling, a feeling of hopelessness & grief, for both mother & child.
A car was entering the parking lot of Planned Parenthood & I was saying that "we can help you" & the young woman gave me the bird. It is a terrible gesture either done by a man or a woman. A woman doing it just degrades her but I'm not to happy about the implications. This gesture is a 'rape' gesture & it is to shame you & make you feel uncomfortable, which should be how the one that does it should feel. It is a gesture of anger. After she got out of the car she walked over to me & started in with me. I told her that I didn't appreciate her mean gesture that she gave me. She then started to tell me all the wonderful things that Planned Parenthood does. I told her the opposite. She then said that she was here for rape counseling & I told her as I looked her right in her eyes that I an a gang rape survivor & that I wouldn't come here for counseling & that she deserved better. I told her that I had some referrals for her but she refused to listen. I said what I said then she told me to ..... ... which is another rape connotation. Boy at the end of this encounter I felt pretty bruised to say the least. As she was walking away to go into Planned Parenthood, I told her that I cared about her. She turned around & said something to me, I don't know what it was. Then I told her that she was "my sister & that I wanted the best for her". I started to cry after she went into Planned Parenthood but I couldn't grieve for very long for there was still more people to try to help. Donna & Mary S. had to leave so there was Valerie & I manning the fort. A woman was coming out of Planned Parenthood & I started to talk to her. She said "stop harassing me". I said that "I had a Constitutional right to peacefully protest". As she was leaving, I told her to look at the pictures of the aborted babies, that we have on the sidewalk. A reality check to what Planned Parenthood does to people, in the name of 'chose". I was talking to Valerie, a very interesting person, one with much knowledge, & there was Mary & Scott walking towards us. I know remembered that I had a 4pm appointment with them to possibility put up some shelves in the Material Aid Room. I asked Valerie if she was comfortable to be by herself & she said that she would be fine. I said that I would be back. It took longer than I thought. The doorbell rang about 20 minutes later & it was Valerie saying that she had to go. I said "I'm sorry that I took so long & thank you & I'll see you tomorrow. She said "okay". Scott & Mary offered to help me put away the signs & I asked them if they could stay with me out here for a few minutes longer. They said that they could. Just then a red truck pulled out & 2 girls were in the truck. The driver was hollering at me saying "you don't know why I'm here". I said that they do abortions & that any reason to be hear is not good. I then said to her not to come back. She was upset at me to say the least. Less then a minute later they turned around & were coming back. As they were re entering the parking lot the driver hollered to me "I'm coming back now to have the abortion". How sick!! I knew that the abortionist had left about 15 minutes earlier but one never knows there at Planned Parenthood. As they were getting out of the car I asked them if they were suffering from Post Abortion Stress Syndrome? They had smiles on their faces as they went back into the killing mill. After they went in Mary & Scott said that they had to leave & Martha wasn't there yet so I decided to just wait for the girls to come out & try to give them some information & the Growth & Development DVD. I was just waiting to try to make amends. About 15 minutes later Martha arrived & she told me the reason she was late was because her patient was admitted to the General Hospital she had to go there today rather than her apartment on East Ave. I was glad to see her. She went into the center & I thought that she was coming back outside but she stayed in the center with Melody. I was determined to stay out there until the 2 girls came out & I could reason with them. They were in there for a whole about 20 minutes until they finally came out. As they were driving passed the bushes towards the street I said to them "please take this information". The driver said to me "why are you here bothering people they have a right to choose". I said that it was a death chose & that they kill babies in there. It didn't seem to bother her for I think that she felt that women have the 'right to choose' to have their babies killed, which is nonsense. I offered the information again & said to them both that I cared. I only hope & pray that they didn't make me an excuse to come back to start killing their baby by the RU 486 method of death or they were pulling my chains. I leave them up to the grace of God. Sometimes I feel so paralyzed out there, on the front lines & guilty because of something I said that might make her go in to have the abortion. I, though the grace of God, want to save lives, not be responsible for taking lives. Lord have Mercy on your suffering servant.
After they left I went into the center to be with my friends. I was in the center getting ready for supper when the doorbell rang & there was Dan. Yeah!! It was a 'Dan showing', for we don't ever know when he'll stop by to surprise us. Martha, Melody, Dan & I all ate a homemade chicken soup (made by Martha) & tortilla chips, sour cream, salsa, cheddar cheese & humus supper. Desert wasn't bad either. We did some more work in the center & all went home tired. Thank you Lord for you faithfulness in our work to try to save & change lives for you.
Wednesday, February 24, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
Martha & I met at Church downtown & from there we went to the center. I got out of the car, for Martha was already there & I spotted Bill in the parking lot. He got out of the car & I invited him into the center. I showed him the Material Aid Room, where I wanted more shelves on the wall, to put things on. I also wanted a case, to put the signs in, that we use outside on the front lines. He said that he could make one like an envelop with hinges on it so that we could just open it up & put the signs in. He'll paint it white to look nice. He also said that he & Kim, his wife, wanted to contribute to the center every month automatically. I said that would be a blessing to the work of the center. We talked for awhile & I introduced him to Martha. Just then the doorbell rang & there was a regular client of ours that needed some baby clothes for her grandchild. Martha helped her get some very nice things that we just got in, Pooch Bear items, that she was excited in receiving. Then Martha went out to the front lines to pray & educate. After I said good-bye to Bill I gathered some more signs & went out to the front lines to be with Martha. Thank God that Jerry was with her. That was great that he was praying along with Martha, the Rosary. After awhile Valerie came to be us on the front lines. Then I looked down the sidewalk to see 2 young girls coming up the sidewalk. I approached them & asked if they needed a pregnancy test, to which they replied that they did. I asked Martha if she wanted to go into the center to do the test or stay outside & counsel. She said that she would go into the center to assist the girls with a pregnancy test. So she lead the girls into the center. I stayed outside to counsel along with Valerie. About 20 minutes later there walking down he sidewalk was a young woman who I had an appointment with to show her the counseling center & to explain to her what we do at the center for she was interested in becoming a counselor at the Focus center. I said to her that Martha was in the center already assisting with a pregnancy test & when she comes out we'll go in to the center & I will show her around. I spent some time explaining to her what we do on the front lines.
Then A car pulled up on the other side of Planned Parenthood & out of the car was Francis & 2 other people with him. They came to pray the Rosary so now Jerry had some people to pray with. They blessed the center with $21.00 between all 3 of them for work of the center. How very nice of them & thank you so much. Valerie had to go so we said good-bye to her. I then noticed that the girls came out of the center so I & Leanne started to walk toward the center. Martha was coming out of the door & I introduced her to Leanne, as she was headed to the sidewalk. I was very glad that she wasn't along out there, for there was 4 other people with her. I brought Leanne into the center to show her around. While she was there the doorbell rang & it was Cleveland asking for Ramon noodles. I went to my car trunk to get him 2 packs, he was happy with that. I came back in She was impressed with the center & it's work. I spent about 45 minutes with her before she had to leave. I hope that she comes back to be apart of the team. I went back out side to be with Martha for the 3 prayerful people had to go after they said the Rosary. We spent some time out in front of the abortion mill. I was so glad that the abortionist Rachael Phelps wasn't there killing babies today. It was bad enough to see the president, ceo of Planned Parenthood, James Stewart, along with his side kick Rick Bartell, driving in & out of the killing mill. I guess they went to many lunches today. Fat cats!! Martha & I went back into the center around 3:45 for our 4 Elim Bible Institute girls were coming at 4 & I hadn't eaten lunch yet. So I grabbed my peanut butter sandwich & ice tea & gobbled it down before they came. Martha had a ham sandwich on the sidewalk earlier.
The doorbell rang at 4 pm & there were our girls, ready to come to help us in the center. I had some projects for them to do. One was to put away children's clothes & small items, that we were blessed with from my friend at the second hand store, in East Rochester, for the Material Aid Room. Second was, working on the database, putting in information regarding our clients. I keep them very busy for the 2 hours that they are with us. What a blessing they are to us. Thank you Lord!!
Thursday, February 25, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Martha had called me to tell me that she was sick & Bill called me to tell me that he had to give his grandson his van to take to work today, so I knew that I was going to be by myself, on the front lines today. I went to Mass, at Our Lady of Victory & I saw Paul, & after Mass I asked him if he could come out with me, on the front lines. He said that he would but first he'll go to Wendy's & get us some hamburgers, for lunch. I said that sounded like a plan. I went over to the center & did a couple of things, like clean the Ladies Room, for it was a mess. Then the door bell rang, it was Sandy, she came in to wait for Suzanne, our Thursday counselor, to be orientated by her, to be a counselor on Tuesdays, at the Focus Center. A few minutes later Suzanne came in & I went out to the street to sidewalk counsel. I was by myself for a very short time when Paul arrived with 2 hamburgers & a ice tea, for later, so I wouldn't faint out there, for I don't eat lunch, I come right after Mass around 1pm. It was good that he was with me. It was now 1:20pm & the abortionist Rachael Phelps car wasn't in the parking lot, nor was anyone else. I though for a minute that maybe they were closed for the afternoon or better yet permanently. The parking lot was empty until around 1:40pm when a mother & daughter pulled in & went into the killing mill. I spoke to them & the daughter who was following her mother turned around at me. I only hope & pray that she wasn't going for an abortion. The abortionist wasn't there but maybe another abortionist was & had parked their car in the back parking lot.
Then a guy, in a truck, came into the parking lot & got out & lit up a cigarette. I told him that you can't smoke in Planned Parenthood but you can kill a child in there & told him that this was an evil place. He said to me "you talked to me last week when I was here". Oh Lord, you know why he was here last week & is here again this week. He went in & came back out by himself & left. About an hour later he came back & picked up a woman. Maybe the abortionist was here this morning & he was now picking her up. How sad. Just then Jerry our long time pro lifer prayer warrior came to pray with Paul, that was great. I was witnessing with the graphic signs to the people driving by & going in. There was a couple that pulled in & parked not to far from where I was standing by the fence. I showed them the picture of the precious aborted baby & called over to them to offer them help & information. The woman in the car, who was the driver, screamed over to me to shut the ..... up & he reached over her to holler to me to "get a job". I told them both that "it was my fundamental Constitutional right of freedom of speech & that they couldn't take that away from me". I spoke to them again & she hollered, over to me, "I have a 3 month old". Okay I thought, this could be either or. One, she is going in there for birth control, or second, she already has a baby & doesn't want another one, so is going in for an abortion. Both are bad. She got out of her car with a drink container so I think that it was the first scenario. For you can't drink anything before an abortion. So I decided to talk to the husband/ boyfriend, not sure which, I only know that he wasn't working either that afternoon. He literally stayed in the car for 2 hours. Sometimes you have to wait in there for a long time, since they're probably laying off people, due to the economy. Another car drove in & 2 young girls came out of the car & went in. The guy in the car stayed in the car. I spoke to both guys, that were waiting in their cars, on how men were suppose protect, love, support & take of women & children. Where are the good men, where have they gone??? Don't know what has happened. I had to now, eat my 2 hamburgers, for I was getting weak. I still counseled as I ate, I was just careful not to do it at the same time. I think that I gave away 1 packet today. I brought no one into the center, for Suzanne, to counsel or do a pregnancy test or to give away baby/children clothes. Hopefully next week. The guys that were praying, on the sidewalk, had to leave a little after 3pm & I could only stay until 4pm, for I had a commitment.
Jane't & I had an appointment, with Kristen the Director, of the 'Place of Hope ' pregnancy center, on Bay & Goodman. All I have to say is what a beautiful environment, the 'Place of Hope' is, so beautiful. As a Christian I shouldn't be jealous but it did cross my mind & I had to quickly dismiss it, for the Lord has been good to us at the Focus Center, minus the leaks in the ceiling, but I know that He is working on it, it just takes time changing our landlord, & that may take some time. Hopefully we'll get a new roof early this Spring, otherwise he'll lose everybody, that rents from him. Oh well, let me get back to the 'Place of Hope' center. It was so relaxing & all the rooms were painted, dark rich colors like, yellow, gold, purple, teal & green. So outstanding. I can only wish. The kitchenette was so functional. We had tea. It had brand new cupboards, a granite like counter space, a floor that was gorgeous, a microwave & a small stainless steel refrigerator too. There I go again, with my heart's desire plea. But, the most important function, was that it was a place of hope, healing & life saving work. Not the decorations, for they were so right on, but the love & help, that the clients receive, was the sole purpose of the center. I spoke with the Director for awhile & obtained so much information, for our work, at the Focus Center. It was such a blessed evening. Thank you Kristen, you're doing a great job!! After I left I had to go to St. Cecilia's Rectory, to pick up the DVD's that we pass out, to the people that need them, for educational purposes. The storm was coming, for after my visit in the church, the snow was now coming down big time. I got home safe & sound. Thank you Lord.
This is so sad to share with you. I was told by someone, that a young girl wanted to see her abortion, as it was happening. She wanted to see her baby die. She is now a mess, so please pray, the she will seek out God's forgiveness & her precious child's forgiveness too. Also, for her to get counseling, by a pro life counselor. Someone is working with her to encourage her to seek out professional help. She was deceived & is now paying the price. 'Abortion is mean' to both mother & child. 'Choose Life', always!!
I just wanted to share this exciting story with you. A couple of weeks ago, when we had on a Thursday, our dedicated pro lifer of 14 years, out on the front lines today. I was in the center & when I came back out he told me what just had happened. He said that a lady was walking down the street & stopped to talk to him. She said that it was about 25 years ago that she was pregnant & was thinking of having an abortion. She was walking down the street & was passing by St. Michael's Church on North Clinton Ave.when she felt a strong desire to go into the church. When she did she saw a priest there & went up to him & told him what she was thinking of doing. He told her "no". She listened to him & her daughter is now 25 years old & is a Registered Nurse. I called Fr. Vinny Panepinto, at Our Lady of the Americas Church on E. Main St. today, to thank him for saving a precious life 25 years ago. Thank you Lord that you used Fr.Vinny, to save the life of this nurse, who is now helping others, by her work. The mother has no regrets in her life, but has joy, for she gave life. Thank God that the mother 'chose life' that day because God sent her a priest, with the truth.
Tuesday, March 2, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood At Mass this afternoon I asked Jerry if he'd be with me on the front lines today because Mary S. is in Florida & Donna is in Indiana. I would be by myself until Valerie gets there at 2:15pm. He said that he wasn't sure, so off I go, after Mass to the front lines, trusting in God. I went to the center & did a couple of things & then the doorbell rang & it was Sandy. She is our new counselor on Tuesday afternoons. I orientated her with a couple of things & then I went out to the front lines by myself. I was happy to see that the abortionist wasn't there. Praise God for that. I still can't trust Planned Parenthood, in that they are not killing babies, for I mustn't ever have my guard down. I was standing on the sidewalk counseling to mostly a deaf crowd, so sad. I must always realize that this is God's battle not mine & I'm just His instrument, in this fight. God is in control. At least they hear the truth & sometimes it takes a while for them to realize it. Hopefully they are questioning what they are doing with their lives & the consequence to their sins. We must never give up because we may be reaching more people by our presence & words, through the grace of God, than we realize. The Death Escorts, Barry Swan & Linda Mock, the two old timers, were there doing their evil thing. Then I saw the next door neighbor of Planned Parenthood, Katherine, walk out of Planned Parenthood, with her one dog. She is so much in bed with Planned Parenthood. Fourteen years, of not getting through to her, about respecting life & not taking life. She is a mess, that's all I can say, but we need to always pray for her soul. It's a nightmare for me out there sometimes, or I should say mostly. Just then I saw a Jerry sighting. There he was walking down the street towards me, thank you Lord!! He came to pray. He went to the center & came back with 2 signs & a stuffed whale. I said "okay Jerry, don't ask, don't tell". He had such a cute smile on his face all I could think of that he was probably a very cute little boy. Okay Jerry, what's up with the whale. He said that he is going to use it to knee on it to pray over on the other side of the sidewalk. Okay Jerry, was that so hard to tell me the truth about Free Willie, & off he goes to the brick side of Planned Parenthood, right in front of the death mill, to pray on his knees, like the good old days, when people were humble before the Lord. Melody had just arrived to help out in the Material Aid Room. Yeah!! I told her that Sandy was in there & she would let her in. A few minutes later, I turned around, for I felt a presence near me, & I saw that it was Valerie. It was 2:15 already! I greeted her then asked her if I could go into the center, for about 10 minutes, to wolf down my ham sandwich & she said "sure". Thanks Valerie. When I got to the center Sandy told me that she just did a pregnancy test & gave away some children clothes. I told her that I didn't lead anyone into the center, so she must have know about us & came for a pregnancy test on her own, that's great. She did well, for she was her first client. Great job Sandy. I quickly ate my ham sandwich & potato chips & ice tea & went back out to the front lines. Valerie was speaking with some people, that just pulled into the Killing Mill. She has been such a blessing to us on Tuesday & Wednesday afternoons. God is great.
Before I left to go back to the street Jim came in with non perishable food for the Food Shelves, that we have in the Material Aid Room. I asked him what could be done with the leaky ceiling. We just have to wait patiently for the Spring when the landlord will have to put on a new roof. What a mess. I thanked Jim & off he went home to be with his wife & children. I went back outside & was there for a few minutes when I looked down the sidewalk & saw Pat, our grandmother & great grandmother, of our 2 saved babies, walking towards me. I greeted her & went into the center with her so that she could pick out some things for the children. I left she saying that after she was finished if she could out to the sidewalk there we talk for awhile. She said that she would . Happy shopping, dear Pat. I left her with Sandy & Melody, to assist her. Off I went back to be with Valerie & Jerry. I saw that a car had just pulled into the PP parking lot & I started to talk to the girls. Then I went back & forth with one of the girls. I said that we cared & that we could help her. She sounded so hurt & messed up, so sad.
A few minutes later a car pulled out of Planned Parenthood & I said that we wanted to give them some information. They stopped their car in the middle of the street & Valerie went over to the car & gave them a Truth packet & a Maffa 21 DVD. I offered them a pregnancy test & they said that they needed one. I said "come & follow me". I lead them to the Focus Center & assisted one of the girls with a pregnancy test. She said that she was doing a report & I gave her some more information about many subjects, plus the Truth packet. After the test I asked her if she had any children & she said that she did, so I lead her to the Material Aid Room where she was blessed with many nice things. She was so excited & took about 2 full bags of things. Great. She told me that she wanted to volunteer at the center, so I gave her my name & phone # & email address, & said for her to give me a call if she was still interested. Sometimes the girls are so excited that they want to be a part of the center then they don't call. We understand. Maybe she'll be different, I don't know yet.
As she was leaving & went back outside & Pat followed me. We stayed in the parking lot to talk for awhile & then Valerie came on over to join us. We all talked for awhile & I then said good bye to Pat & gave her a big hug & went back to my post on the sidewalk. Valerie was still talking to her about the evils of corn syrup, in the baby formula, that the Focus Center just bought for little Akira. It was between them now. Valerie is very careful for what she puts in her mouth & I respect that. I don't necessarily follow that but I do respect her way of thinking, for I eat well but not as good as Valerie.
I was there, about 10 minutes, when a young girl came around the bushes & I asked her if she needed any baby clothes. She said that she was pregnant & that she had a young daughter at home. I said "come & follow me" which she did. I introduced her to Melody & Sandy & they assisted her. I saw her come out later with 2 bags of clothes & things, for her growing family. I earlier gave her a Truth packet too.
Valerie had to go & Jerry had already left & I wasn't expecting Martha until 5:30pm, for she was at work. Before Valerie left she asked me if I wanted her to bring in any of the signs & I said "yes, the smaller ones" for her to put behind the bush in front of the center. I thanked her & off she went. I decided to stay by myself until Martha showed up for it wasn't a cold day today & I was fine. Don came walking by & I spoke with him for awhile. Then the School Bus Driver came by & honked, a good honk, at me. I was so grateful, for he is a steady honker, that I threw him a kiss. I hope that he didn't think that I wanted a date or anything, probably not. Nice man.
Then came the evil acting bozos. There I was standing holding my sign when a car with, some smart alecs, drove by. I ignored them & then I heard something hit the tree. I know that they had thrown something at me but I didn't know what it was. Just then a guy pulled along side of me in his truck & I thought, oh no I'm going to get it. But the opposite occurred. He stopped his truck & said to me that he had found a packet of information up the street & he thought that I would probably want it back. He handed me the packet & I said to him "thank you so much, that was very nice of you to stop to give it to me". He smiled & off he went. He turned his truck around & as he passed by me I waved at him. I regained my faith in mankind. I was now curious to what was thrown at me earlier, so I walked over to see. It was a banana skin. At least these goofy guys ate good.
I remember that years earlier, Officer Jim had a guy arrested & he had to spend a night in jail & had to go to court & had to do 20 hours of community service, for throwing a container of pickles at me. He had gone to Wendy's earlier that evening & got a hamburger & a container of pickles. He ate the hamburger & thrown the pickles. Should of eaten them both, son. I only can imagine what would happen to that young fellow if he had thrown his hamburger at me. He'd still be in jail perhaps. Officer Jim was very protective of us on the sidewalk. Those were the days when we got police protection, when the city could afford to pay the officers overtime, to be with us. Time's have changed & not for the better either. The reason the Judge came down so hard on him was that he threw it at night & it could have been something hard & it could have hurt or killed me. It wasn't so much what he threw but that he threw something at someone. Just then I heard a car honking at me & I looked up to see that it was Martha, it was only 4:45pm, she got there earlier than was expected from work. Yeah, always good to see Martha. I greeted her with a hug & told her about the banana boys. She said "as long that you didn't slip on the banana peel, you'll be fine". It was the principle dear Martha. She was only trying to make me feel better with humor. Oh yea! Glad that it was only a banana for next time it might be an apple & that would really hurt.
She asked me if I wanted any coffee & said "no thank you, coffee doesn't like me at all". So I said to her that I would go over to Mack's to get her a cup of coffee. She said "that would be nice". No problem dear Martha. I talked with Mack for a short time & came back to the sidewalk with a cup of freshly brewed coffee for our sweet Martha. She told me, when I returned, that a woman gave her a finger & stated to say nasty things to her. I asked Martha what she said that ticked her off & Martha said that she was just standing there not saying a word & holding a picture of Christ crying & holding the precious aborted baby, in his hands. That was enough for this poor woman. The guilt was probably overwhelming & you have to take it out on someone & that was Martha. Glad that she was okay while I was gone for her special cup of Java. Enjoy it Martha. I then saw another woman drive in, with a precious child in a car seat, in the back seat of the van. There was a Rosary on the mirror of the car. My worst scenario, a child & a Rosary. Lord have Mercy. She was in the parking lot waiting for a pick up. When she drove out it looked like it was her daughter that she picked up. I don't remember this vehicle earlier so I don't know how long that the daughter was in PP & for what she was there for. I only hope she wasn't there for an abortion or birth control, they both kill children. I wish that the mothers would be more responsible to their daughters. What is happening dear Lord??
Martha & I decided to go into the center, for Melody was still there working, & it was about 5:30pm. We went in & got ready for our Tuesday supper. Tonight we were having Martha's special Chili, along with cheese & crackers. It was delicious!!! After supper we worked in the Material Aid Room, for we got a whole new shipment of things from Ana in the Second Hand store in East Rochester. We left around 9:15pm. What a day at the center!!
Wednesday, March 3, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood I got to the center around 1pm & Martha wasn't there yet & either was Valerie. I knew that Martha had a doctors appointment at 11:30am & I knew that she would be there when she could. Valerie was just running late & I knew that she would be there soon. I asked Dan if I could use his Fax machine to sent out our 501c3 status to Time Warner, for we are going to finally get a land line phone & Internet, in the office. Yeah!! We'll be able to get more things done now, maybe even do some projects for the center. I went to the front lines alone & after that banana episode yesterday I knew that I must be careful, he might come back to banana me again, oh no. I was witnessing the graphic signs that I brought out & had my literature box with me & the mega phone. That's all that I could carry alone & I had to make 2 trips. I called out to the girls to offer them help & took the abuse of some of the people driving by. One guy made a demonic face at me. Oh you really scared me, you misguided whimper snapper. One girl, going into Planned Parenthood, gave me her finger & I said "don't show me your IQ, you're the one going into an abortion mill, I'm not & that is a rape sign & act like a lady". After all that she went into the building. I finding out, that the girls attitude, is mostly "who cares". I spoke to a young girl coming down the street & going into Planned Parenthood. She said that she was going in for condoms. I said that they don't always protect people from sexually transmitted diseases & if you want to see a chart of what they look like, I can show it to you, they are not pretty. She went in & out in a matter of minutes. I offered her the Truth packet, as she walked by me & she refused it. I then I said to her "that fornicators don't go to Heaven". She responded with a flicked wrist & I said that if you are having sex outside of marriage then you must ask God to forgive you & start over by being a secondary virgin. I hope & pray that she will.
Around the bushes came one of the workers with an envelop in her hands. I just stood there, I knew that I was blocking the sidewalk but I couldn't move but I didn't want to be prideful. Just then she said "hello" then I moved to let her pass & said that I could help her get a job & I know that you know that they kill children in there & please don't be a part of it. Off she goes down the street to the mail box. When she returned I said to her "I can see that you don't really want to be here & just want to remind you, that we don't hate you, we hate what is going on in there". She went into PP. Just then my new friend Valerie showed up. Thank you Lord. Fighting the war alone is extremely hard but I do know that God is with me in the battle. She brought out more signs, to witness the Truth, outside of Planned Parenthood. Valerie & I were worried about Martha & was talking about her when she arrived. Thank God. She said that she had to wait at the doctors office for awhile & then had to go to the store for the medicine. We were glad that she was feeling better & was with us now. She took the mega phone & started to sidewalk counsel. I went into the center to do some quick things & then came right back out again.
I then took the mega phone & Martha started to say her Rosary. I called out to a woman who was pulling into the parking lot & was telling her about Planned Parenthood. I then went over to the fence & saw that she was getting out of her car & walking over to us. I said "put away the food", for we had some sandwiches, out there for lunch, so I scrambled to hide the food, for I didn't want it to look like a picnic. I walked over to my post, by the unconstitutional yellow line, & waited for her. There she was coming towards me saying "what are you saying to me, in a gruff voice, I'm not here for an abortion, I'm here for condoms so keep quiet". Then I spoke to her saying "condoms aren't going to protect you from sexually transmitted diseases or HIV". I asked if she was married & she said that her husband had died so she needed the condoms for protection. Martha came over to calm her down. I then offered her the free DVD on Maafa 21:Black Genocide in the 21 Century, which she took along with a truth packet. We offered her free baby & children clothes which she seemed interested in & said that she would get some when she comes out. She left to go into Planned Parenthood & then came out & got into her car & off she went, into the blue. I wasn't really disappointed, for she did receive the Truth packet, which has 2 brochures about condoms in it & the DVD. At least she had something to go home with.
A young lady was walking up the street & as she drew closer to us & I asked her if we could help her & if she was going into Planned Parenthood? She said that she was but that she didn't believe in abortions. I said that we offer free pregnancy test, counseling, referrals & baby & children clothes, next to this yellow building. She said that she had gone to the center before for a pregnancy test & she was positive. I asked her if she had her baby & she told me that she had a miscarriage. I said that I was so sorry & she said that "things happen". I said that I would go into the center to get her a booklet about healing from a miscarriage. She said that she had to go into Planned Parenthood, for reasons that she didn't disclose, so as she was going into Planned Parenthood, I was going into the Focus Center, for the booklet. As I was coming back to the sidewalk I saw that she was back on the sidewalk talking to Valerie. I approached them & handed her the booklet which she said "thank you" & she put it into her bag, that she was carrying. She stayed for a few more minutes then said "good bye" & left. I hope & pray the best for her, such a dear one.
Martha said to me, that while I was in the center, a woman honked at her & gave her the 'bird', she was screaming at her as she was driving by. All Martha was doing was standing there holding a sign with, the Lord, on it. She probably was post abortive, poor soul. I hope & pray that she gets help real soon. The girls are becoming more rough, I'm finding. You just talk to them & then all of a sudden, they show you the 'disrespectful gesture' with their middle finger, which it is, either coming from a guy or a girl, it is discussing. It's getting harder dear Lord, please help us to be able to serve you, in this battle.
Jerry came by to pray with the team. It was great to have 4 pro lifers, out there in front of the Killing Mill, to storm Heaven to close down the abortion mill on University Ave.. Come Lord Jesus come!! Just then I looked up the street to see that Pat, our grandmother & great grandmother was walking down the street. The Focus Center, wanted to help Pat's great grand daughter little Akira, with a can of baby formula, so Pat had come to pick it up. I left to go to the center with Pat to give her the formula & for her to get whatever she needed in the Material Aid Room. Just then the door opened & there was another client coming to get some things in the room. It was crowded in the room for a while. But what blessing there was going on for these 2 ladies & their children. Amen. Pat & talked for a short time, for Pat had to go home to be with her family. She thanked me & I gave her a big hug & then she left, I then went back outside to be with the team. I was there for awhile longer then realized that it was almost 4pm. It was time for me, to go back into the center, to wait for our 4 Elim girls. Martha & Jerry stayed outside & Valerie had to go. We were expecting Tucker at 4pm also & he'll be on the front lines with Martha & Jerry, while I stay inside to be with the girls.
The girls have arrived & we decided to discuss the Baby Shower, that was 2 weeks away. The center will get the food, drinks, cake & decorations. We will get some presents & have some games to play. It will be a good time. Just then the doorbell rang & it was Melody, who works in the Material Aid Room, on Tuesdays. She came to talk to Becki regarding singing, which they both can do very well. Their meeting went very well. I asked the 3 other girls if they would straighten out the Material Aid Room, which they did in such a great way. It looks so organized, in the room now. Great job girls! Martha came in & Tucker had to go. Jerry left awhile ago. Before he left Tucker told me that a guy in a car had stopped & told them he didn't like the signs & that they should go. He didn't mind the benign signs but the other signs were giving his kids nightmares, for he drives down University Ave. every day. He was hollering. Tucker replied "you think that your kids feel bad just think how these kids, that were aborted, felt like". Off the guy goes down the street, madder than a wet hen. They just don't get it. The doorbell rang & it was Israel. She had brought some beautiful hand made signs with positive messages on them. Thank you Israel. After the 4 precious Elim girls & Tucker had left, Martha, Israel & I ate supper together, then we did some more work in the Material Aid Room. We also cleaned up, the mess in the hallway, from the leaky pipe & then went home. Thank you Lord for all the blessings that we received from you this afternoon.
Thursday, March 4, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood I recruited Paul & Jerry after Mass today, to come with me to the Front Lines. Paul again said that he would go to Wendy's first to get me 2 hamburgers for my lunch. How nice. As I was leaving church I started to talk to a young man who has been coming to weekday Mass regularly. I invited to come to pray in front of Planned Parenthood & he said how about now. His name is John & I am happy to have met him. I gave him a ride to the center & orientated him real fast. When we got to the center, Bill was there on the sidewalk, across the street from Planned Parenthood. I was hoping to see Martha but she wasn't there yet. I was hoping that she was okay & would be there momentarily. I was wrong. I went into the center to get the signs & the mega phone & the literature box for the fight ahead. I saw that the abortionist Rachael Phelps was there so I knew that she was killing children here today. As I was thinking this a car pulled out of the parking lot with the girl slumped down in the front seat, so I knew that this was the first fatally of the day, for my eyes to see. Very upsetting. I was happy to see that Jerry was now coming down the street towards me & I knew that I would be having prayer power now. A few minutes later there was Paul coming down the street & he stopped to hand me my bag lunch & then he parked his car & got out & joined Jerry in prayer. I was still worried about Martha for she wasn't there yet. She finally did come about 1 hour later, so got tied up with unexpected phone calls that made her late. As long as she was okay that's all that matters. I was a little snooty when she did come because I depend on her so much & it is difficult for me to sidewalk counsel by myself. Before she got there the Insurance Agent came & gave me the paper work for our Liability Insurance, for the Focus Center. I wanted to talk to him in the privacy of the center but Martha wasn't there yet so I couldn't leave my post & I had to talk to him & sidewalk counsel , at the same time. Very difficult! He understood & was gracious. I still spoke to every car that pulled into this 'Hell Hole' of a place, where they murder babies, in cold innocent blood. He explained our coverage briefly & I thanked him for all his help, in getting a reasonable policy, for our Focus Center. He good bye & left. I felt frazzled. I was certainly glad when Martha did arrive on the sidewalk safe & sound. She said hi & then she said the Rosary along with Jerry & Paul & our new recruit, John. When our Thursday counselor arrived, on the sidewalk before she goes into the center she said "hello Mary, hi John". What, you mean Suzanne knows John. She said to him "your friends were here last week". Wow you know them too. Small world! I spoke with Suzanne briefly about some things to do in the center & off she goes into the center.
Two young guys were up the street on skateboards, I knew that they could be trouble. As they passed by, with their earrings in their noises, they expressed themselves as they passed by. I just said to them as they skated by us "have a nice day, have a nice day, have a nice day" until they skated away, to go down the street, to harass someone else. Can't wait for Summer, oh boy, for this is the time that we are harassed the most because of better weather. God will get us through.
Just then a car drove in with a man & a woman in the car. The man who was driving gave me the 'rape symbol' with his finger. As the woman was getting out of the car I said to her "your husband just gave me the 'rape symbol' how sad. She went into the Planned Parenthood & came out a few minutes later along with two young girls. I said to them "I hope that you didn't have an abortion". They both repeated what their father did to me earlier. Like father like daughters. I spoke to this broken family as they drove out. I said " You will suffer until you repent. I hope that you didn't allow your daughters to kill your grandchildren, repent". I hope & pray that this family realizes, real soon, what they did & repent. Question: How to destroy a family. Answer: abortion. John asked to go into the center to watch the DVD of Growth & Development. I said to him that if he rings the doorbell Suzanne will let him in. He said "okay" & off he goes. After the prayer team finished the Rosary I asked if I could go into the center to eat my lunch. They said that would be fine & off I went. I ate my hamburger & spoke with Suzanne for a few minutes. I saw that she did a pregnancy test & gave away baby clothes. Very good. I also told her that I got new pregnancy tests that were more accurate if a client had just missed one period. I was so blessed to have found these new pregnancy tests from the 'Place of Hope Pregnancy Center', on Bay & Goodman. This way we & the client will know very early if she is pregnant or not. These tests are used in Hospitals. I went back to the front lines to be with the team. Martha then told me what had transpired when I was away. First she told me that a black man & a white woman came out of Planned Parenthood & the woman was stooped down in the front seat. Another abortion. How sickening. The next incident was a man with a bottle in a brown bad, hobbled over to Martha, Jerry & Paul. I will not repeat what this poor drunk said to Martha, I only hope that I can forget it. He crossed the street after his vulgar remark & almost got sniped by a car. We must always be ready to meet the Lord, drunk or not. Lord have Mercy!!! John was coming up the street & approached me & said "good bye". I said "good bye John & I hope to see you again real soon, back on the front lines, to pray". He said "yes". Off he goes. What a blessing he was. I hope that he will come back, I will certainly encourage him, for I know where he goes to church. It was about 4:15pm & Jane't was coming for the 12 Step Bible Study, in the center. We packed up everything & went into the center. Suzanne was still there & before she left I asked her if she wanted to share anything with me. She did & it was wonderful. Here it is: We, at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, want to inform everyone of two recent blessed events. We have had 2 of our babies born recently. First, little David Tobias, was born on March 2, 2010. He was 6 weeks early but mother & son are doing very well. Our second baby, is little boy Bamyr, born January 3, 2010. We thank the dear Lord for these lives saved through our Sidewalk Ministry & the Focus Pregnancy Help Center Ministry. We are so happy, with our 2 new babies, in the world. The moms 'chose life' rather than abortion. They are so happy now that they did. I told the team & we all rejoiced. We set up for the Bible Study. It was Jane't, Martha, Bill, Jerry & myself. But before we started we all sang Happy Birthday to Bill, who was pleasantly surprised & had a grim on his face from ear to ear. We then all sat down & had brownies that I baked at 2 AM. We have a very fruitful meeting with much sharing & prayer. After the Bible Study Martha brought Bill home & I set up for supper. Martha brought chicken soup & it was her & I who ate tonight. We then worked in the Material Aid Room for awhile then went home. My heart is still heavy for all the babies that were killed at Planned Parenthood today & everyday that they do this evil against Almighty God.
Saturday evening, March 6, 2010
A friend of mine & I went to see Pat & her 2 great grandbabies, little Akira, who was born 4 months prematurely @ 1lb. 8 ozs. & Khy-mire, who was our RU486 (abortion pill) save.
They are both beautiful children & they weigh about 11lbs. each. They are alert & so cute. What a blessing, that these two children were saved from abortion, and now are in the world. Praise God!!
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 on front of Planned Parenthood
I never get sick & tired of writing this on the Front Line Weekly. God did it again. We had 2 babies saved, from being killed by abortion today, at the street ministry & the Focus Pregnancy Help Center. We thank the Lord that he touched both our girls hearts & the 2 boyfriends also. They got love & educated, to the Truth, about what would happen to their precious babies, if they go through with the abortion. One of the boyfriends said to his girlfriend, as I was counseling her at the Focus Center, "they're waiting for you", meaning Planned Parenthood. She said that she would not go back there & then he said that left something there & he wouldn't go back to get it either. Yeah!! This young lady came over to Martha, who was sidewalk counseling & spoke with her for a few minutes then I walked her over to the center to counsel her. I showed her the Truth about abortion, which she had no idea, for she said that Planned Parenthood told her that it was nothing & she believed it until she was told & shown the truth. I also gave her & her boyfriend a DVD on Growth & Development of a baby in the womb & the movie Bella & instructed them to watch these 2 DVD's as soon as possible. She also took some books & things, in the Material Aid Room, for her 2 other children. I touched her belly & told the baby to relax now for mommy has 'choice life' for you so fear no more. They both left smiling & we will do follow -ups with her as we do with all our clients. Suzanne is our counselor on Thursdays & she calls our clients to see how they are doing & if they need anything. Praise God for 2 lives saved today, maybe 3. Another girl & guy drove into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood & saw the 'Truth Pictures' that were out on the sidewalk. They never got out of their car & as they were leaving Planned Parenthood they talked to one of the sidewalk counselors, Mary S.. They were given a truth packet, as they left, which has lots of information & helpful phone numbers for them, to get the help that they need. Also, another young girl came from behind the bushes at Planned Parenthood & Martha spoke with her & then I brought her into the Focus Center. She needed encouragement, for her boyfriend wants her to her have an abortion, but she said "no" & received lots of support & literature & a DVD & children clothes, for her young child at home. Busy day yesterday for we gave a pregnancy test & also gave away lots of clothes & items in the Material Aid Room, to mothers in need. Thank you for your love, prayers & support to the work of the Focus Pregnancy Help Center. God be the glory! Please keep us, who are out on the front lines & in the Focus Center & our clients, in your powerful prayers. Thank you so much, for we couldn't do this ministry without God & for those of you, that give us love, prayers & support in our work, to 'save lives & souls' for Christ, through His grace.
We had a great donation of a car seat with two bases & a stroller & bassinet, from Amy. It will be given to our new mom which just delivered, her baby boy. Amy helped me to get it all in the center for tomorrow's pick up. What a blessing to our client that 'chose life'. We also had 2 strollers that were donated, to the Focus Center, earlier by Paula & Jim for our clients, that are in need. Melody & Sandy helped us in the center today & they gave away lots of baby & children's clothes, toys & stuffed animals. We had a lot of happy mothers. Dan dropped by & I put him to work cleaning the strollers & making them ready to give away. Thanks you guys, for all your help, in helping people! :)
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood Today is 'Appreciation for Abortion Providers ' from the Pro Death side. How sad. I got to the center & went out to the front lines, for no one was there with me, at that time. I stood by my post by the tree & witnessed the truth to the public, of what abortion looked like & that we can help them to 'choose life' for themselves & their baby.
Another great report on the front lines. Miracles are happening out there. Just want to share with you. A woman came around the bushes & she was on the phone. She was trying to say good bye to her mother & finally hung up. I asked her what she was doing at Planned Parenthood & she told me that was pregnant & was getting information to have an abortion. She said that she has 5 children & really doesn't know the father of her baby that she is pregnant with. I said that you are pregnant with baby # 6 & the only choice you have is either to raise this baby or to give this baby up for adoption. I said "you shouldn't be here at Planned Parenthood". Then she said "my mother doesn't want me here either". "Your mother is right on" I said. Then she landed me a whopper. She said that she was here for an abortion 8 years ago & she said we were here, on the sidewalk, & told her not to do it & she didn't & her son is 8 years old now. I gave her a big hug. I said "you're not going to do now either" & I gave her our Truth packet & a DVD of the Growth & Development, of the baby in the womb. She smiled & said that she wasn't, for she was convicted again. I invited her to come into the center but she had to go. I said to her "if you need anything then please come to the center or call me" & she said that she would. She went into the parking lot to get her car & as she was leaving, I went up to her car, on the street, & gave her our 12 week old plastic baby & said "this is the size of your baby, in your womb, that God created & he has a plan for your child" She smiled & I said "by the way say hi to your mom, I really like you mom". She said that she would & off she went, never to come back to this killing mill again. I'm so glad that we were out there again for her to 'choose life'. Praise God for this precious baby to be saved, by the grace of God. It's real cool, for the Lord to let us know, that we have an 8 year boy, who was saved from being aborted. I know that he is happy to be alive.
Tucker & I were out on the front lines & I was sidewalk counseling & in between calling out to the girls, going into Planned Parenthood, for it was 5pm & the abortionist was gone, I was cleaning the 2 bases of the car seat we were giving away tomorrow, to our new mom. Just then I heard a voice say "do you have any packets with the beads in it"? I looked to see a young girl. I said to her "yes, I have a packet with a Rosary in it & it tells you how to say the Rosary". Then I asked her if she had any children & she said that she has a 4 year old son. I invited her to come to the Material Aid Room for some clothes, toys, books & stuffed animals for him. She said "that would be great" & she followed me into the center. As she was gathering things for her son she started to talk to me. She said that about 2 years ago, when she came out of Planned Parenthood, we were there on the sidewalk & we asked her if we could help her. She remembered that she told us that it was to late for she just had an abortion. She said that she regretted it immediately. We handed her a packet of information. She said that her mother stopped talking to her, for she didn't tell her that she was going for an abortion. Her mother was heart sick for if she had known she would have helped to take care of the baby, for she wanted more grand children. My heart was aching. I asked her if she asked the Lord to forgive her & she said that she did. I went into the counseling room to get her post abortion brochures & Kathy's phone number, for she is post abortive, to talk to her. She said that she would like to talk to someone. I also gave her Project Rachael & Silent No More & Lumina information, for her healing & reconciling with her child. She was receptive for all this help. I said that in time, her & her mother will heal & be reunited, through the grace of God. She smiled. I gave her a hug & she thanked me & as she was leaving I handed her our brochure & told her to call me if she needed anything else. She said "okay". She left very grateful that there was hope in her life now, a new beginning. Thank you Lord for your healing & forgiving power. I did a couple of things, in the center, then went back outside to join Tucker, who was by himself. There was some cars that drove by & gave us a positive honk. Hopefully people are changing.
Thursday, March 11, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood I can't tell you all went on because so much went on that it hasn't registered yet. Our counselor gave a pregnancy test to a mom with two children & I was answering the door for a client that needed clothes for her son. She then shared that she was going into Planned Parenthood, for an abortion & one of the people, on the front lines, talked her out of it. She said that her son in 17 months old now. Praise God! She was grateful for all that she received, for her son, at the Focus Center's Material Aid Room. We are glad to help out this mother that 'chose life'. We had a nasty guy walking down the sidewalk along with his friend. A woman who was in the parking lot of Planned Parenthood recognized these two people & walked over to them with her baby, in her arms. I spoke to them of what was going on in Planned Parenthood & one of the guys said "yeah, this is a late term abortion" & laughed, as they were walking her into the parking lot, to get her car. I told him that he was a sick wimp & no real man would talk like that. What kind of a woman would want a person like that around her & her precious baby? That poor baby to be around people like that & I mean his or her mother. She carried a big smirk on her, red haired, face. What's wrong with people today. Do they have no feelings. I only hope that they all reflected on their bad behavior today at the Killing Mill. Tony was with me when this happened & Jerry was praying by the brick side of the building, which is the front, with the signs on the tree.
I had to go back & forth into the center to inform Suzanne of different things because one of our new mothers was coming to receive a car seat with 2 bases & a stroller & a bassinet. Also, I asked Suzanne to call our 2 new clients, of this past week, to see how they were doing & to see if they needed any help. One of our clients boyfriend thought that it was Planned Parenthood calling & he told them that they had changed their minds, until Suzanne reassured the boyfriend, that it was the Focus Pregnancy Help Center that was calling, to see how the mom was doing. He was relieved. They talked for awhile & Suzanne stressed the value of marriage to him. We'll have to wait & see if he heard the 'message'. We might be going to a wedding this summer. Never know.
I was out on the front lines when Suzanne hollered, up the street, that our client was here. She was here, with her new baby, to pick up the items that we had for her. I walked to the center's parking lot & there she was. I went over to her & gave her a big hug. I looked in the car & there was our sweet little boy sleeping along with his big brother who is 4 years old, in the back seat of the car. My heart was touched & as I looked at him & all I could think was, that this is the same baby that was in her womb, when she was going to Planned Parenthood, to get an abortion. I was rejoicing that she 'chose life'. Praise God!!! Her boyfriend thanked me & so did our sweet girl. I told to call me if she needed anything & she said that she would. I gave her another hug & off they went, on happy family. My heart sang.
I saw someone ringing our doorbell & I went over to them. They said that they were here for some baby clothes. I saw Melody, in the corner of my eye, as she was walking down the sidewalk to join the 'Bound for Life' group that were forming across the street. She came right over to me & I asked if she could go into the Material Aid Room to help our new clients. She said that she would. She & they went into the center. As I was walking, to go back to the front lines, I noticed that someone else was at the door so I went back. The lady was here to get some baby clothes so I opened the door for her to go to the Material Aid Room to join the others. WOW!!! I finally got back to the front lines to join the team, which was Martha, Jerry, Charles, Bill & now the 'Bound for Life' group, there was four people. I went up to Brandon & greeted him. His wife Crystal was our Monday evening counselor until she had baby number two. We spoke for a few minutes & then he went back to join the others. They put red tape on their mouths that read 'LIFE' & they stand across the street across from Planned Parenthood & don't talk but pray for an hour. They represent the babies, that are aborted, that have 'no voice'. They touch my heart. Now there was Jane't & her 3 friends now on the sidewalk. This looks so good to the public. I had to go across the street to give Brandon something & as I was crossing the street a lady that was at the Vet's office stopped me. She said "can I ask you a question". I said "yes you can". She said that she was opposed to abortion & that she had 2 children & that her father was a Pastor. I said "that's great". She then asked "do you just protest & don't help them once they change their minds". I said "are you saying that they should have an abortion if we don't help them" I think that I was being defensive. "Oh no" she replied, I told you that I was opposed to abortion, I just wanted to know if you help them too. I said "oh yes, we have a pregnancy center right across the street" & I pointed to the center, in the corner of the strip mall. I asked her if she would like some information & for her to follow me across the street to receive it, which she did. I handed her a Truth packet & the Maafa 21: Black Genocide DVD, which she took. I introduced her to the group of people that were out in front of Planned Parenthood. I left her to do something else & when I looked over she was praying with Jane't. Praise God for her openness to want to know more about what we were doing in front of Planned Parenthood. I know that her & her father will make a difference in the Black community & maybe bring their church down here to peacefully protest the evils of this racist Planned Parenthood, that murders God's precious creation. One person can make a difference!!!
I was now sidewalk counseling & I hollered over into the parking lot that we had baby clothes, next to this big yellow building, next door. Just then a young girl came around the bushes & said that she was pregnant & needed some baby clothes. I said yes we have baby clothes in our center down the street a little ways. I asked her what she was doing there at Planned Parenthood. She said that her grandmother & her were picking up a friend that just had an abortion. My heart sank. Then there was the car coming around the bushes & stopped to where we were standing. Then I saw a young girl walk from around the bushes & that was the friend that just had the abortion, she got into the car. I said to the pregnant girl to follow me to the center & I would give her some baby clothes. She followed me to the center & her grandmother who was in the car drove into the parking lot of the center & parked. I brought the young girl into the Material Aid Room to select what she wanted for her baby, in her womb. I said to her "you're not going to have an abortion, are you". She said "oh no I wouldn't do that to my baby". I said "that is great news, I just wanted to make sure". Then I went into the counseling room to get her a Growth & Development, in the womb, DVD & our little 12 week old plastic baby. I also got all the post abortion material, that I could put my hands on, plus Kathy's phone number, for her friend to talk to when she gets out of denial. I handed this to her & she thanked me. She got some things that were yellow & green until he knows if she is going to have a little boy or girl. I gave her our brochure & told her to call me if she needed anything. She said "thank you" & left. I was so happy for her & so sad for her friend, that will suffer greatly, for what she did at Planned Parenthood today. It will be very hard for them to remain friends as she gets bigger in her pregnancy. God is in charge.
I then went back to be with my friends out on the front lines for solidarity. When I got back I spoke with Martha for her heart was heavy with what just happened. I love this woman for she is so dedicated out on the street & in the center. She has a heart of gold & is so good with the girls. She draws them to her & then I do the follow up, usually. She is such a great help to me in the center when we have events there. Thank you Lord for all the dedicated remnant, that have served you for many years, & will continue. After the hour was up the 'Bound for Life' group came over to us & we all held hands & said the Our Father prayer. Then we all hugged & after some conversation we all said good bye. Martha, Jane't & her 3 friends that she brought, Bill & I went into the center to have our group meeting, that's based on the Bible. It went very well & we were all blessed.
Tuesday, March 16, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood What a day! I'll be truthful, so much happened & so fast were things happening, I really don't think that I will remember everything that went on today, but I will do my best. All I can say was that it was all good & so many mothers were helped. It all started when Martha & I went to the center after Mass around 12:45pm. We started to do some things around the center when Sandy came in to counsel in the center. She helped me bring all the things that I had in my car. Then it was the cleaning the high chair with diluted Clorox water, for our client to take home with her, when she comes in. Her baby was born 6 weeks early & is doing well & will be coming home on Wednesday, he is over 4 lbs. now. Yeah!! Martha & I went out to the front lines & set up the signs & there come Mary S. & Donna. What a team! I was in & out of the center. Then when I was out on the sidewalk there were 2 young girls with strollers. I stopped to talk to them & they said that they will come over to the center after they get their STD testing. About 2 hours later they came out & came over to the center to get baby & children clothes. we are glad that she 'chose life'. She doesn't believe in abortion & would not be talked into an abortion at Planned Parenthood though they tried. She said that they do abortions up to 13 weeks gestation. She over heard someone say that in Planned Parenthood. Oh my God how evil they are. Lord have mercy!! Another young girl needed baby clothes so Martha went into the center to help her. I stayed outside to counsel. Then along comes the male worker at Planned Parenthood checking out to see if anything of ours is touching the wooden base around the bushes. He stopped his car & said "take your things off the base". Nothing was on it only a few signs were leaning against it. I said "have a nice day". He said "I'll be right over". He went to the back parking lot & then went into Planned Parenthood. I told him later when he drove out that his priorities were all off. They are killing children in there where you work & you do nothing & all that you care about is our signs touching the base by the bushes". "You need help" I interjected. He drove away & came back later & didn't bother us but he will again, in the future. I went into the center to see that the drop off of things including a wooden high chair & other nice things had arrived. I just missed the gentleman but I will call him later to thank him for all the nice things he brought to us. Dishes, vases, tea pot, coffee pot etc.. How very thoughtful of him. As I was leaving I saw our client come in who just had her baby boy 6 weeks earlier. He was still in the hospital for she delivered early but is doing fine & will be bringing him home in a few days. Little David Tobias. Praise God!! She received the wooden highchair that was just brought in as a donation & the stroller we just received a few days ago. She also took some diapers, baby clothes & other things & was very happy to receive them. I gave her a hug good bye & told her if she needed anything else in the future please call me & she said that she would. I was thrilled to see her & that she 'chose life'. I then went back outside to the front lines to be with Donna for Mary S. had to go back to work & Martha wanted to stay in the center to help Sandy with the delivery that came in. I wasn't outside for very long when I lead a young girl into the center for a pregnancy test, she was going into Planned Parenthood. There she was in good hands with Martha & Sandy, in the center. When I got back to the sidewalk there was the next door neighbor to Planned Parenthood Katharine Lynch walking down the sidewalk with her dog & a young guy. I said to her "Katherine, don't have your dog pee on our signs". "O shut up" was her reply. Nothing changes. She then said "you don't own the sidewalk". I replied "either do you, your dog pees on my signs I'll call the police". The young guy said something but I didn't pay him an attention. This was between her & I. As I was turning around to be more attentive at my post there was another young girl coming down the street. I stopped to talk to her & said "come follow me". I brought her into the center for a pregnancy test & counseling. Back to the street I go. I turned around & there were 3 girls walking towards me. I recognized on of the girls in the middle & it was our client who were going to have a Baby Shower for tomorrow on St. Patrick's Day. I went up to her & gave her a big hug. The one girl with her was her sister & the other girl was her friend. They had gone into the center to see me & her friend had a pregnancy test. I was so glad to see her & she is so excited about the Baby Shower tomorrow. I asked her to stay there for a few minutes, for I needed to go back into the center for a minute, for I needed to do something. She said that she would. When I came back I noticed that they all were talking to someone on the sidewalk. When I approached the girls I heard the woman that was talking to them was angry & said that she was thing of having an abortion because things were not going well for her. I said something to her & Donna said something to me in response. Then the woman said "she has her on opinion". I knew whatever I said for I can't remember was from the Holy Spirit, for I asked him to anoint my head, mouth, heart, hands & feet, & I know that he did. I quickly went to the literature box to get the Growth & Development DVD & handed it to her which she took. She then walked into Planned Parenthood & I called over to her to tell her that we would help her in what she needed. I had to leave her to the dear Lord which will touch her heart, not to do this evil against her child & herself. If she thinks that she has problems now just wait & see what will happen after the abortion. I put her into the Blessed Mother's care like all the other girls. I know that the Lord used Donna & also the 3 girls on the sidewalk with her. I was the last hurrah. I talked with the girls for a few minutes & 2 of them shared that Planned Parenthood gave them pills to take, which they later found out, was the abortion pill RU 486. They both lost their babies. Planned Parenthood never told them what they were for only that they needed to take the pills, which being so young listened to them & took the 'pills of death'. That was about 2 years ago. Through the grace of God, I stopped our client, as she was going into Planned Parenthood for an abortion, last year. She & I & baby are so glad that she 'chose life'. In a couple of weeks now she will be holding her little boy in her arms. Yeah!!! :) As they were saying good bye two young girls came from behind the bushes. I asked if we could help them & the one girl said that she was pregnant & she had she ultrasound pictures with her. I offered some baby clothes in the center & they followed me into the center to receive them. I told her that I was happy that she 'chose Life'. She said that Planned Parenthood tried to talk her into an abortion & she said that she told them off & left. Good for you my dear!! She was disgusted. Tuesday, March 16, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood What a day. I'll be truthful, so much happened & so fast were things happening, I really don't think that I will remember everything that went on.

She doesn't believe in abortion & would not be talked into an abortion at Planned Parenthood though they tried. She said that they do abortions up to 13 weeks gestation. She over heard someone say that in Planned Parenthood. Oh my God how evil they are. Lord have mercy!! Another young girl needed baby clothes so Martha went into the center to help her. I stayed outside to counsel. Then along comes the male worker at Planned Parenthood checking out to see if anything of ours is touching the wooden base around the bushes. He stopped his car & said "take your things off the base". Nothing was on it only a few signs were leaning against it. I said "have a nice day". He said "I'll be right over". He went to the back parking lot & then went into Planned Parenthood. I told him later when he drove out that his priorities were all off. They are killing children in there where you work & you do nothing & all that you care about is our signs touching the base by the bushes". "You need help" I interjected. He drove away & came back later & didn't bother us but he will again, in the future. I went into the center to see that the drop off of things including a wooden high chair & other nice things had arrived. I just missed the gentleman but I will call him later to thank him for all the nice things he brought to us. Dishes, vases, tea pot, coffee pot etc.. How very thoughtful of him. As I was leaving I saw our client come in who just had her baby boy 6 weeks earlier. He was still in the hospital for she delivered early but is doing fine & will be bringing him home in a few days. Little David Tobias. Praise God!! She received the wooden highchair that was just brought in as a donation & the stroller we just received a few days ago. She also took some diapers, baby clothes & other things & was very happy to receive them. I gave her a hug good bye & told her if she needed anything else in the future please call me & she said that she would. I was thrilled to see her & that she 'chose life'. I then went back outside to the front lines to be with Donna for Mary S. had to go back to work & Martha wanted to stay in the center to help Sandy with the delivery that came in. I wasn't outside for very long when I lead a young girl into the center for a pregnancy test, she was going into Planned Parenthood. There she was in good hands with Martha & Sandy, in the center. When I got back to the sidewalk there was the next door neighbor to Planned Parenthood Katharine Lynch walking down the sidewalk with her dog & a young guy. I said to her "Katherine, don't have your dog pee on our signs". "O shut up" was her reply. Nothing changes. She then said "you don't own the sidewalk". I replied "either do you, your dog pees on my signs I'll call the police". The young guy said something but I didn't pay him an attention. This was between her & I. As I was turning around to be more attentive at my post there was another young girl coming down the street. I stopped to talk to her & said "come follow me". I brought her into the center for a pregnancy test & counseling. Back to the street I go. I turned around & there were 3 girls walking towards me. I recognized on of the girls in the middle & it was our client who were going to have a Baby Shower for tomorrow on St. Patrick's Day. I went up to her & gave her a big hug. The one girl with her was her sister & the other girl was her friend. They had gone into the center to see me & her friend had a pregnancy test. I was so glad to see her & she is so excited about the Baby Shower tomorrow. I asked her to stay there for a few minutes, for I needed to go back into the center for a minute, for I needed to do something. She said that she would. When I came back I noticed that they all were talking to someone on the sidewalk. When I approached the girls I heard the woman that was talking to them was angry & said that she was thing of having an abortion because things were not going well for her. I said something to her & Donna said something to me in response. Then the woman said "she has her on opinion". I knew whatever I said for I can't remember was from the Holy Spirit, for I asked him to anoint my head, mouth, heart, hands & feet, & I know that he did. I quickly went to the literature box to get the Growth & Development DVD & handed it to her which she took. She then walked into Planned Parenthood & I called over to her to tell her that we would help her in what she needed. I had to leave her to the dear Lord which will touch her heart, not to do this evil against her child & herself. If she thinks that she has problems now just wait & see what will happen after the abortion. I put her into the Blessed Mother's care like all the other girls. I know that the Lord used Donna & also the 3 girls on the sidewalk with her. I was the last hurrah. I talked with the girls for a few minutes & 2 of them shared that Planned Parenthood gave them pills to take, which they later found out that it was the abortion pill RU 486. They both lost their babies. Planned Parenthood never told them what they were for only that they needed to take them, which being so young, listened to the authority & took the pills of death. That was about 2 years ago. Through the grace of God stopped our client as she was going into Planned Parenthood for an abortion. She & I & baby are so glad that she 'chose life'. In a couple of weeks now she will be holding her little boy in her arms. Yeah!!! :) As I was saying good bye to my girls there comes from behind the bushes 2 young girls. I asked if we could help them. The one girl said that she was pregnant & I told her that we had baby clothes in the center & to come follow me, which they did. I thanked her for choosing life for her baby & she told me that Planned Parenthood was trying to talk her into having an abortion. She gave them a piece of her mind & then left, for she was disgusted with them. One other girl earlier told me that they pulled that on her to so she went to Strong Memorial Hospital & continued her pregnancy & had her baby daughter. She was so glad that she did. For some reason the girls think that the only place to get a pregnancy test is going to Planned Parenthood, no matter how they were treated by them in the past, we are aiming to change that. The word is getting out in the community that the Focus Pregnancy Help Center does FREE Pregnancy Tests & care about them too. I went back to the sidewalk to be with Donna for she was by herself. She flagged a car that was going into Planned Parenthood. The gentleman said "do you have any pictures of a baby about 33 weeks along". Boy do we!! "Come follow me", which they did. They went into the parking lot & tuned around & followed me up the street a little ways to the center. I lead them into the center to be helped by Martha & Sandy. I stayed with them, for it was very busy, in the center. They said that they needed financial assistance so Martha told them that Suzanne, the counselor on Thursdays, will call them to help them with their needs. They received some things, for their precious baby, in the womb. They left very grateful & thanked us many times over. We thanked them for 'choosing life' for their little one & that God will bless them for it. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, for He careth for you". When I was on the sidewalk & called over to a gentleman who was waiting by his car. He walked over to Donna & I & he said that his old lady was in there applying for a job. I said "did I hear you say old lady". He just looked at me & Donna said that the reference was okay if that's what he refers his girlfriend as. He said that she was there trying to get a job. Donna & I said "are you a Christian"? He replied that he was. We said that the good Lord doesn't want her there working in a place that kill His creation. I offered him the 2 DVD's that we hand out & he took them both & the Truth packet & our little 12 week old plastic baby. He said that he would give them to her & she'll make up her mind. I asked if he belonged to a Church & he said that he did, so I encouraged him to ask them to pray for a job for his girlfriend. He thought that was a good idea. Thank you Holy Spirit. Off he went back to the parking lot & to his car. The roofers were back or at 2 of them. There must be a leak on the new roof for otherwise why would they be there, on top of the roof, harassing me. I thought the guy was waving at me so I waved back to him & then he waved back to me until I noticed that it wasn't a wave but something else. I said to him that "a gentleman wouldn't treat a lady this way & that if he had paid for an abortion, in his past, that this was no way to deal with it & that we could help him". He was nasty & I hope that he fixed the problem, on the roof, & never comes back again but only to get help. Martha came back outside to sidewalk counsel & to pray. Donna had to leave for it was after 4:30pm. I thanked her for all her help & that I would see her again next Tuesday. Martha & I stayed on the street until after 5pm. I spoke to the abortionist, Rachel Phelps as she was leaving, for it tears me up inside to see her come in or out of this death mill where she kills God's children, all day long. Some of her victims did get away, for some have been born & others are still cooking & will be born later this year. I think that we have a baby a month, to be born, this year! Praise God!! Martha & I & Melody, for she came to help us out, later on in the afternoon, to put away the signs & literature box, from the sidewalk. We went into the center to work in there, for it was a big mess, & then to sit down to eat my pot roast that I brought for supper. Praise God for 3 pregnancy tests given, about 8 or more Truth packets handed out plus 4 or more DVD's & so many clothes & items, that were given away to our clients, that I couldn't even count. Thank you Lord for such a blessed day!
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center
Today was the day of the Baby Shower, for our two girls. Martha & I got to the center, after the noon Mass downtown, at Our Lady of Victory Church. When we got to the center we got busy doing so many things but first I went to the sidewalk to see if the abortionist was there & she wasn't. Thank God!! I went back into the center & started to get ready for the Baby Shower at 5pm. We were going to have an important meeting at 3pm, so I ordered the coffee next door at Mack's, for the gentlemen that were coming to the meeting, about the new center. I was also waiting for the Time Warner man to fix the new phone line in the center. He came around 2pm. He was a nice man & we gave him 2 of our brochures for his 2 children to come & receive baby clothes for his grandchildren. He must have had his children when he was very young. He was receptive in what we were doing here at the center. Just before he left I again went back outside to see if the abortionist, Rachael Phelps, was at Planned Parenthood. I was standing, at my post by the tree, when I saw that a woman in white, was getting in her car. As she was by the mouth of the road I spoke to her. I told her that Planned Parenthood kills babies. She rolled down her car window & said that she had 7 children & that she was here for some literature. I then told her that we had a lot of literature at the center 2 doors down & to come follow me. She did. She came into the center & saw that we had a lot of literature. She was doing a nursing project & was amazed that we had so much literature. She took what she needed plus the 2 DVD's that we hand out on the front lines. Just then I had to sign for the telephone service for the Time Warner man was done fixing the phone. Yeah!! I signed & said good bye to this nice gentleman & continued with this very nice woman. She was most grateful for all the information that she received from the center. This was Divine Providence, for me to go to the sidewalk, at the time she was leaving Planned Parenthood. God is Great!!! The guys were coming in for the meeting at 3pm. It was great seeing familiar faces. The meeting lasted for an hour & went very well.
So after that we had to start to blow up balloons, which Christina from the Taxi Company volunteered. Great job! Then the Elim girls came around 4pm to help to set up the room. They brought 2 beautiful cakes & cupcakes. Earlier, Israel came with 2 sheet cakes for the party. She wasn't feeling very well so she had to go home to rest. Thanks dear Israel & hope that you feel better real soon. The girls put up the blue streamers & balloons & the room took on a festive mood. We sent up the table where the food was to be & the other table where the presents were to be. The Elim girls brought in 2 new strollers plus many baby gifts for the two moms & $50 dollars each for the girls to buy what what needed. The pizza man had arrived with the 2 extra large pizza & the 30 chicken wings. We put out the soda & Sunny Dee & now we were waiting for the guests to arrive, which they did. We had our 2 girls & their family & friends & our friends coming in for the celebration of 'new life'. Praise God!! We ate, played game & ate some more & opened up presents for our girls. Our one girl, who thought she was going to have a boy, was now having a girl. Those ultrasounds sometimes are missed read but now we know for sure. So instead of David we have a Shinita. The party was lead by our 4 Elim Institute girls & they did a great job!! Everyone left, after a 2 hour party. Before everyone left we had a prayer to thank God for the gift of 'life' with the Our Father Prayer.
After the one family had left, the other mom came up to me & told me that she just, found out tonight, that her 2 daughters had an RU 486 abortion at Planned Parenthood. I told her that they deceived her daughters about 2 years ago & they didn't tell them what the pills, that they gave them, were for. The girls thought that they were pre natal vitamins & took the pills & their babies were killed. I gave the mother a card that read 1-888 U Can Sue & I told her that I would be with her, if she decides to sue Planned Parenthood, or for any support that she needed during this difficult time. I gave her post abortive information. She went over to the door where I have the abortion procedure diagrams & she looked at it & said "this is murder". I said "yes it is". She was upset for what she just had found out. I don't know who told her but I guess it was her pregnant daughter for I think it is bothering her. The mom said that she never knew & if she did there would have been NO abortions, in this family. Poor lady she came for her daughter's Baby Shower only to find out that she had lost 2 grandchildren to the murderous Planned Parenthood, two year ago. Hopefully she will call that number & can sue this evil organization for what they did to her family. My heart goes out to her. The Elim girls & Martha & I helped to clean up & we all had a great time, during the party.
Thursday, March 18, 2009 in front of Planned Parenthood
When we arrived on the sidewalk, the abortionist Rachael Phelps, was not there. I am cautious for sometimes she shows up later on. When I was standing there I saw a woman walking on the other side of the street. I called over to her & asked if she would like a Rosary. She said "poor babies, poor babies". I said "you are so right". I said "they are killing little babies here at Planned Parenthood" & just then one of the workers came from behind the bushes to go to the mailbox to mail a letter that was in her hand. Then the lady hollered over to me that they wanted her to abort but she all 3 of her children". I said "yeah! do you need any children clothes"? She said back to me that her children are all grown up". The last thing I said to her was "you don't look old enough to have grown children". She said "thank you" with a smile on her young face. She must have been a teenager when she had her first baby, at least. She was a breathe of fresh air! Martha & Paul were out there on the sidewalk with the signs & the literature box. Paul was nice enough to bring me a Wendy's hamburger for my lunch later on when I start to feel weak. I put the peanut butter & jelly sandwiches back in the refrig for a later day. Suzanne just arrived, our Thursday afternoon counselor, so I went to the center to talk with her, for a few minutes, to catch her up on what happened on Tuesday. Just before I left to go to the center there was a car that pulled in with 2 guys & a young girl. They pulled up right in front of the building to let her out. She was wearing a back pack, which isn't a good sign, for the girls sometimes bring extra clothes with them if they need to change into after the abortion, my heart dropped. I knew that the abortionist, was probably going to be here to do abortions later on, in the afternoon. When the 2 guys pulled out of the driveway I told them that if they dropped her off, to have an abortion, that they will be held accountable, for this murder. They just had a smirk on their faces & sped out onto the street. I felt sick. I then left Martha & Paul, to take over, & I went to the center, to talk with Suzanne. While I was in the center, I noticed that Paul had put my burger & ice tea in the office, so 'to kill 2 birds with one stone' I decided to eat while I was talking with Suzanne. It worked out pretty well, for I don't have to eat out on the street now, which I hate to do. Maybe I should just fast while I'm out there at times. I just don't want anyone to have to pick me up, from the sidewalk, if I faint. After I was finished with giving Suzanne, all the assignments, I went back to be with the team. When I got back with them I checked the parking lot to see if the abortionist was there now & sure enough she was. My heart sank. Now I know that she was going to kill innocent babies here today. Just then I saw that the Death Escort was walking up the sidewalk to put on the apron of death as she escorts the victimizers to victimize their children. We are there for the undecided ones that are on the fence that they will fall on our side of the yard. We are there for everyone & only hope & pray that none of them will go into Planned Parenthood to have their precious babies be murdered by Rachael Phelps. We prayed, protested & handed out some Truth packets, Rosaries & DVD's, to people walking by us & driving out of Planned Parenthood. Our friendly school bus driver passes us by & honks & waves at us, every time when we are out on the front lines. We waived back with smiles on our faces. He energies us. A young woman drove by & gave us the 'bird'. I called to her, as she was diving by us to, "repent & we can help you". It's really so very sad. Cars came in & out of Planned Parenthood, I don't know how many beautiful babies that the abortionist murdered here today, one is too many. Lord have Mercy on her soul & all that work or are silent, in the Abortion Holocaust, in America. Martha, Paul & I packed up around 3:30pm today because Martha & I had an appointment, at Birthright in Pittsford, at 4pm. We had a great meeting with Joan, the Director & Kathy the Co-Director of this great pregnancy center, which is the oldest here in Rochester, NY. They blessed with lots of great information to take back with us to the Focus Center to better help our clients. We took the tour & what a set up they have at their center. Jane't came later & was blessed also by this experience. We left feeling that we better know what Birthright does in the community & that know a little more in what we do too, in the city, next to the Killing Mill, Planned Parenthood.
Friday, March 19, 2010 at the Focus Center also it is the Solemnity Feast of St. Joseph, who is the Foster Father of Jesus I went to the Mass at Our Lady of Victory/ St. Joseph's & after the Mass I went to par take at the St. Joseph's Table in the community room. The food was delicious & Father had made the red cake with cream cheese frosting, yummy. I told him that he was a great preacher & baker, he smiled, for he is a humble man. I got to connect with many of my dear friends all in one room. It was a great & blessed time. I invited John & Bill to come to the center to help me out with some things & they both agreed to. I asked the guys to make up some Truth packets & I was in the office to do some paper work. I got up to do something & I noticed come one walking in the hallway. I asked her if she was looking for the Taxi company. She said "no, I'm looking for the pregnancy center". I said "my name is Mary & I'm the director here what can I do for you"? She said that she just learned about us from her school. A student did a paper about abortion & she received her materials from this center & she said that the people here were very nice. I said "did she have 7 children"? She said "yes". I said to her "she was the nice lady that was coming out of the Planned Parenthood parking lot on Wednesday & she did a paper on Thursday, wow she is a quick study". "Please say hi to her from me when you see her again & thanks". Then the young girl told me why she was here. She said that she had a friend that was abortion minded. One minute she wants to have the baby & the other minute she wants to abort the baby. I said to her that she came tot he right place. She said that her friend was to meet her here, so in the meantime I gave her friend lots of information. A few minutes later her friend came in to join us. I spoke with her for awhile then gave her some information to take with her. I also told her that she had a great friend that would support her in her pregnancy & we would too. She smiled. I gave the friend a Bible to take with her & encouraged them both to join a church to nourish their souls.
Tuesday, March 23, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood
I feel like a failure today. I don't want pride to get in, for I know that we are God's instruments & He is with us & in control. The afternoon was rainy & dingy. It felt more evil than usual. The hearts of men have grown cold. There was Martha, & Mary S. & Donna, on the sidewalk, with me. And, in the center working was, Sandy & Melody & later came Mary K. & her daughter Rachel. We were blessed with bags of terrific clothes, from Maria, at Browncroft Community Church. The clothes were all so good & beautiful, for our clients children. We did have a couple come in & receive some clothes for their 2 year old boy, which was a blessing for them. They were very grateful. We were glad to help them.
A car drove out with a black young girl & a white male. Mary S. offered her the Truth packet & the guy driving was not receptive & wouldn't let her receive it. He also made a rude & disgusting comment to Mary S.. It was though this girl was his prisoner or he was her pimp? I hope not. He was rude & unyielding to her needs in getting the Truth. I hope she sees him for what he is & leaves him. Or that he repents & is converted to the love & power of the Lord. Today a 'Blood Bath'. So many cars came into Planned Parenthood & it seemed that there were 2 in each car, a guy & a girl. Also, there were stop & drop & pick ups. I felt powerless & that I was in quick sand & I couldn't get out. I felt that I did no good here today.
A man was walking down the sidewalk & for the first time, in 14 years, a person was almost hit by a car that was coming out of Planned Parenthood's parking lot. She missed him by a breathe. We were not talking to her, so we were not distracting her. The man was visibly upset. I said thank you Lord. I always feel that there are angels protecting the cars coming out of the 'parking lot of death' for there has never been an accident, in the 14 years that we have been protesting, on the sidewalk. Today was the closest that anyone ever came of getting hit. God is great!!
Two young girls came walking up the sidewalk & stopped to talk to us. They said that they were going in for a check up, for they had no insurance & this place was downtown which was convenient for them because they take the bus. I gave the one girl a Truth packet & a doctors list & I told her to put it away, for Planned Parenthood will try to take it away or if not them maybe the Death Escort, Linda Mock might try. The one girl said that they will get it when they come back out. I said that would be fine & if no one is here then come to the center which is next to this big yellow building. We had our pregnancy center sign on the sidewalk for them to see. They agreed & went into the Killing Mill. They never came to the center so I wish now that I just gave them the Truth packets & didn't worry if someone in there would take it. It just felt like so much oppression in the spiritual realm today. Martha did say the Rosary & the Mercy prayers, so there was prayer power. The wind was always putting the signs down on the ground so most of our time was picking them up. There were nice & nasty people driving by & our favorite school bus driver did let us know that he approved in what we were doing out there in front of Planned Parenthood. The police & fire truck & ambulance drove by. All in a typical afternoon. I felt that the world is getting darker by the minute. The looks on these people faces were blank, with no affect. It was scary. Two hours later, after talking to them earlier, they came out of Planned Parenthood. The parents & daughter & probably the brother or boyfriend came out all together & drove away. I said to them coming out, for them to repent for the sin of murder, if that is what they did in there. Lord have Mercy on ALL the people that killed their babies today & everyday. I felt like I did no good today for anyone. Lord have Mercy on me, too.
Wednesday, March 24, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood I was in the center when Martha arrived, about 1:10pm. Martha had put her fettachini, that she made for our supper, in the refrigerator. I had two young girls come in with a little baby girl who was 5 weeks old, for some baby clothes. Her sister who was with her was pregnant & was not sure yet if she was going to have a boy or a girl. So I said to her that when she knows she could come back to get some clothes for her baby. She took a green onesee for her baby. Her sister, with the baby gir,l took a real pretty pink dress with shoes. I said "this dress is for an older child & she said that this was to be her daughters Easter dress. for she was 9 lbs.. The dress was a 2T. I didn't want to wrestle with this dilemma, for she was the first to see the dress & the baby will grow into it, probably to wear it for next year, for Easter. I shouldn't get so picky. I thanked them both for 'choosing life' for their children & gave them some information & then said good bye to them. I asked them how they knew about us & the one girl, with the baby, said "someone from Planned Parenthood told us about this place". I said "someone at Planned Parenthood told you about us"! She said "yes, there were people in front of Planned Parenthood who said that you had free baby clothes & we stopped by, for this was a couple of days ago, that someone told us about you". Now it makes more sense. It was us, on the sidewalk, that told them about us. Oh yeah!! They were very happy when they left.
Martha & I were kept busy for a few minutes more & I decided to go to the sidewalk to see if the abortionist, Rachael Phelps, was there at Planed Parenthood, she was. So I went back into the center to tell Martha that we had better get out there to the front lines. We hurried to get the signs out & the literature box ready to sidewalk counsel. As we were getting things ready to go out I had noticed a young woman dressed very nicely walking around, like she was lost. I said to her "can I help you". She said that was meeting a friend so I said "okay" & continued to walk to my post by the tree in front of Planned Parenthood. After a few minutes the woman was walking up the sidewalk towards Planned Parenthood. Oh no I thought. Sure enough she walked into the parking lot. Martha & I called out to her that this was an abortion mill that kills babies. She was then greeted by her friend. They walked passed us talking with such excitement at their meeting & going towards our parking lot at the strip mall, where the lost girl had her car. I though that they would get into her car & off the would go. But no. A few minutes, to my SHOCK, from around the bushes comes walking out was the abortionist Rachael Phelps, I was sick to my stomach. I said to her "how many babies have you killed, one is to many". She's now walking down the sidewalk towards our strip mall & into the restaurant there, which is 2 doors down from us at our pregnancy center. She was meeting her 2 friends there for lunch. My heart ached. I took the sign of the aborted baby & stood right in front of the restaurant, on the sidewalk. Just then a young guy in a pick up truck hollered an obscenity to me as he drove by. Probably a post abortive male. How sad. I stood there calling out her name & what she does at Planned Parenthood etc. for about 35 minutes. Just before she came out of the restaurant, a nice lady puled her van over to me & told me her name & that she had a high chair for me. Oh yes, I remember your email, come follow me into the Material Aid Room. She dropped off a beautiful high chair for one of out clients. I spoke with her for a few minutes & I was still looking out to see if the abortionist was leaving the restaurant. I said good bye to the nice lady that dropped off the high chair & went back to the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. Just then Cleveland, our street friend, comes walking down the sidewalk asking for Ramon noodles. I couldn't believe it!! I'm feeling numb & the abortionist, who has murdered thousands of children in cold blood for $$$ is in the restaurant, two doors down from our pregnancy center, were we save lives through the grace of God, & Cleveland is asking me for Ramon noodles. Life goes on in his life. It felt horrible & a little scary that a serial killer, was a stones throw away from me. I felt sick, my body was in trauma & I was shaking in the inside. She & her girlfriends finally came out of the restaurant. The one girl got into her car & was pulling out of the parking lot when I said to her "what happened to you"? Off she goes. I walked behind the abortionist & her friend calling out to Martha & Valerie, that the abortionist was coming back. The abortionist had to walk right in front of the sign of the precious aborted baby Malachi, which we had leaned next to the tree. She couldn't look & probably felt nothing, as she passed by, to get back to the Killing Mill. She pulled out of the driveway with her friend with the short hair about an hour later. I said "repent for killing children & hurting women". Martha thinks the girl with her is a Medical Student that the abortionist, Phelps is training to do abortions. God only knows. This was very upsetting for me & for Martha & Valerie, who had come to join us on the sidewalk just before the abortionist showed her evil face. It was hard on all three of us.
When I finally arrived, at my post to join Martha & Valerie, I noticed that they were speaking to a girl who was had stopped to talk with them. When I approached, I heard the young woman say something about if the baby was unwanted. I lit into her like a match, for I had just experienced, the same air as an abortionist, a few minutes earlier, so I wasn't going to hear about devaluing life. I told her, in a stern voice, that all life is precious & there are no unwanted babies, in the eyes of Almighty God, who created us all. She left to walk into Planned Parenthood, the 'haven of death'. No love or hope there behind their doors. Martha told me that she shared that her mother was a crack addict & that she had a terrible life. Not to sound insensitive but welcome to the club. I know that I have suffered growing up in a dysfunctional family life, filled with evil. Please survivors, of a hellish existence, please don't devalue your life or anyone else's. God is crying, for God doesn't make junk & He loves you so very much that He died on a cross for yours & my sins, to give us Heaven for all eternity. Things will get better Martha told her & you survived & you have to forgive your mother & yourself. She was in Planned Parenthood for about 45 minutes, nothing new there, & when she came out I called out to her again, with words of love & encouragement. Maybe I was to hard on her, God forgive me.
Just then another young girl had gone to her car & I spoke sternly with her for being at an abortion mill. I saw her coming towards us through the bushes. There she was in front of me. I try to hand her a Truth packet & she said "no". Then she said that she didn't believe in abortion & was hear for a blood test. Martha, in her gentle voice said "you could be my daughter, sweet girl". She smiled. I calmed down & so did she. We began to talk. She said that she was at Planned Parenthood for a pregnancy blood test. I said that we could do a pregnancy test right now in the center & the tests that we use are used in hospitals. She said that she just had a blood test which is more accurate. She made mention of some things so I asked her to wait & I would go into the center to get her some information. When I came back out she was still there talking to Martha & Valerie. She said that she could be about 13 weeks pregnant. I asked if she had an symptoms & she said that she did. I said "why don't you come follow me into the center for a yellow or green onesee. She smiled & followed me into the Material Aid Room. When we got there she started to look around the room. It is jam packed with so many nice things that we just got blessed with. She found a green & white onesee with frogs on it. Then she said that she didn't believe in abortion only if the girl was raped. I said that I had been gang raped when I was 21 & became pregnant & I didn't have an abortion but I did miscarry my twins. She then said that she also had been raped several times & she's just 20 years old. She also had a miscarriage of twins. She said that she even named her twins & told me their names. I told her my babies names which are Jessica Rose & Aaron Joseph. I gave her a big hug, for we were both still hurting. I talked with her for awhile & then gave her Compass Care's number if she is pregnant & wants an ultrasound & also a name of a Social Worker to talk to about the rapes & miscarriages. She was thankful for all this information. Then she told me that when her mother became pregnant she went to Planned Parenthood for pre natal & they told her to abort. She left the facility immediately & went to another clinic for pre natal care. Our young girl was the one that Planned Parenthood wanted to abort 20 years ago. I said I really don't know how you could go to the very organization that wanted you dead & was willing to do it? She said that she didn't have insurance so I gave her more information that could help her. We walked back to the sidewalk & we said good bye there. I asked her, if our counselor Suzanne could call her on Thursday, to see how she was doing, she said that would be fine. Good bye sweet girl. God is with you to help & to heal you & we are hear for you too.

We, at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, welcome baby boy Joandri, into the world, born on March 2nd . coming in at 6lbs.11oz. Mother & son are doing well.

Thank you for your love, prayers, time, financial support & donations, to the work of the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, 2 doors down from Planned Parenthood. You are 'special' & we thank God for you. We couldn't do this ministry without you. It is a team effort. Our babies are your babies too!!!
When you think that everything is fine, with your neighbors, you find out that they still hate you. Ick!! John & I were setting up the sidewalk with our usual signs in the usual places when Buckpitt got all bent out of shape, again. John, who was putting up the signs, put the one sign up to far on the pole, by the driveway of Buckpitt who is the business right next to Planned Parenthood. A red van was coming into the driveway & stopped. I gathered that he was telling him to put down the sign, which is what I was about to do. The van pulled intot he parking lot & all I said to John was "it was a cope out". I guess what I meant was that the signs aren't really a problem for Buckpitt for when they pull out of their driveway they have to pull out far enough to see both sides of the on coming traffic, well pass the pole with our signs on it. I guess that's what I meant. Well the guy got out of the red van & went ballistic. It was the owner, David. He started to disrespect me right away & even used a four letter word to express his unfounded anger. If you're having a bad day don't take it out on me. John got involved in the action & he was walking away, when David the owner called him back, to rage his truant on to him. I just told John to just keep on going into the center, which he did, otherwise it would have been 2 guys locking horns, over what??? David went into his building & I was glad. About 10 minutes later Kim, who works there & is very friendly, came out & waved at me. I approached her & said that I didn't want any trouble & I really don't know what just happened a few minutes ago. I am sorry that he misconstrued what had just taken place. She said in a quiet voice "I think that he called the police". What ! Over what?? She said that she would go back in to ask him to cancel the call but he didn't. It was about 45 minutes later the police came & went into Buckpitt. David came out swinging. He stood right in front of the police officer raising his voice & saying things about our street ministry & sated that he wanted a report. How sad, this guy is out of control. I thought that we had made progress with him over the past year. I even wished him a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. I wouldn't take it back. The police officer came over to me & I told him our side of the story. I told him that we are coming against Planned Parenthood, not Buckpitt, for we have enough to do in trying to save lives from being killed there. We were fixing the problem with the sign, when David went out of control. The officer stated that the owner of Buckpitt had some issues. 1. That the signs that we put in front of his building looked like harassment. (NO). 2. That we are in the driveway that is closed off. (YES). 3. That we were harassing his customers, verbally. (NO) 4. That we were harassing his customer with our signs in their faces. (NOT!!) Where are you getting this from, my friend?? Yes, were are in his short driveway, that he doesn't use, in order to call out to the girls not to kill their babies & he should be supportive of that. What kind of a person is he? Lord have Mercy!
I went into the center to speak with Suzanne for a few minutes & when I came out I saw that there were 2 police cars & an ambulance, in the parking lot, of Planned Parenthood. I figured right away that they were there to pick up a rape victim & sent her to the hospital for examination. One of the workers at this Death Camp was talking to, I assume, the girls mother. I had to tell here that Planned Parenthood doesn't report statuary rape & they kill little babies here too. I said that I was a rape survivor & that I wound never come here for counseling & that we can help her. When the ambulance pulled out of the driveway I said to the girl in the back that we loved her & that it wasn't her fault & please don't come here for counseling. As her probable mother pulled out with her car form the parking lot that we are with her & her daughter. My heart sank for I know that she has a long road ahead, for help & healing & forgiveness, hopefully without Planned Parenthood. Mary K. & her 2 children, Paul & Rachel, came onto the sidewalk to pray & to witness. We also had a woman & her 2 children, with signs, on the brick side of the building to pray & to witness. We were back at sidewalk counseling when a car with 2 young women & a sweet little girl, who was in the back seat, in a car seat drove in. The car stopped at the driveway & they were given a Truth packet. They went into the parking lot but didn't get out of the car & then came back out of the driveway & stopped, to talk to us. I then spoke with the woman & said that we had children clothes in the center right next to the yellow building. The driver of the car said that they had to go but could come back another time. Martha said "why don't you come over now to get some things for your sweet little girl". I then said "come follow me'. which they did. I rang the doorbell to make Suzanne aware that we had a client & then walked in with them to the Material Aid Room. As I was speaking to the one woman I knew that she needed to spend some time with Suzanne. The other woman with the little girl stayed in the Material Aid Room to get some thing for her 2 children. They were from down South & needed many things for a new beginning. I said "take what you need for now & then you can come back another tine for more". She agreed that was a good idea. Suzanne was doing a pregnancy test & |
