Sign in Abortion Mill Window Could Tell Mothers "Even Jesus Hates You."
Pro Life Corner ^ | 5/28/2010

Offensive sign located a few feet from abortion mill door marked "main entrance."
 
Rockford IL, May 28, 2010 - A sign in a window of the building that contains the Northern Illinois Women's Center has a sickening message that mothers could possibly see when arriving at the abortion mill.  The hate-filled sign has a picture of Jesus sticking up his middle finger at passers-by with the words "Even Jesus Hates You."
 

This sign is located just a few feet away from a door to the mill marked "main entrance."  Pro-life sidewalk counselors were shocked, that even considering this abortion mill's history of bigotry they would place a sign with this message near their new main clinic entrance.                
The letters of the words are not large but can be seen and read by any mother entering the abortion mill through this door.
 
Thankfully, not every mother entering the mill would be exposed to this degrading sign. 

Many women who pull into the parking lot use the entrance in the back of the parking lot. 
But any mother who gets off a bus at the stop on Broadway or walks in from Broadway or 10th Street could see the hideous sign.  The sign is also located near the door where mothers who want a cigarette occasionally stand outside the building to smoke.
 
One sidewalk counselor said this morning, "What are they trying to do to these women, break their spirit?"  Another pro-lifer commented,
"it looks like their message to a woman facing the most difficult decision she will ever make in her life is Jesus hates you, go ahead and kill your baby."
 
It is not known if this disgusting sign is directed at pro-lifers, the people who live near the abortion mill, at women considering abortion or all of the above.  What is known for sure is any person using the abortion mill entrance near this window could read this sign.  The effect of this kind of demoralizing sign and the message "Even Jesus Hates You" on a confused, lonely, or scared mother entering the mill could have tragic short and long term consequences for her child's life or her ability to heal after an abortion. 

 
When told about this sign and its message, one Rockford woman who had an abortion here many years ago said, "After my abortion I felt as if Jesus couldn't love me.  That is what these abortion pushers want you to think so you kill your baby, and they make money.  Through the love of good Christian people and the Church, I have found forgiveness and the faith that Jesus does love us even when we commit a terrible sin."

No, more the “Church of Social Justice and Gay Marriage”. The one that has a false bible where the woman who escaped stoning was told “Now go and sin some more”.

It’s in the abortion mill facing out, and these geniuses can’t figure out toward whom it is directed?
I’m pretty sure it’s not their customers.

Shekkian, I get your point. But when are the media ever going to notice that Phelps not only isn't Baptist, he doesn't even call himself Christian?

What does Fred Phelps actually believe? It is, somehow, even weirder than you expected:

In fact, it appears that Westboro has created not just an incredibly vulgar and non-Christlike approach to homosexuality, but that it's working on a new religion altogether, complete with new scriptures.

Members of WBC generally avoid the name "Christian" when referring to themselves, preferring the mysterious term "Tachmonite."

The Tachmonites believe Phelps is "the last prophet," with the power to determine who will be damned and who will be saved. They themselves, as followers of Phelps, also have the power to condemn souls to hell. Most people are destined for hell, but "Good Samaritans" who help the Tachmonites (for example, police officers who prevent counter-protesters from assaulting them) may be offered an indeterminate "reward" for their good conduct.

They've written their own scriptures, which are divided into two categories: "delectable epics" and "letters to heretics." The "delectable epics" (the term is the group's) are based loosely on Acts in the New Testament. The epics detail the Tachmonites' various protests against gays, President Bush, Elton John concerts, and the military and portray the Tachmonites alternately as invincible "super heroes" and defenseless victims of brutal rage. Some of the epics are in prose, and some in poetry.

And there's more (at the link).

That sign could probably work in favor of the pro-life folks working the sidewalk. I'm not a religious person but something that hateful and vile might convince me to believe that the devil exists and lives IN that abortion clinic! At the very least, those folks don't have my best interests at heart.

Just point to the sign and say, "Do you want those folks taking care of you at a time like this?"
