WATCH: Police Offer Tells Pro-Lifers They Can’t Pray Outside Planned Parenthood Abortion Center (Ohio)
Life News ^ | March 27, 2020 | Steven Ertelt

Although the coronavirus has caused large-scale pro-life gatherings to stop for the time being, pro-life advocates are still praying and helping women outside of abortion centers. They are doing so in part because abortion businesses continue to kill babies — sometimes in defiance of orders to stop doing abortions to conservative medical resources to fight the virus.

Yesterday, as pro-life advocates helped women at the Planned Parenthood abortion center in Columbus, Ohio — one of the abortion businesses operating outside a state mandate to stop non-essential medical procedures, a police offer told the pro-life people they were not allowed to pray outside the abortion facility.

“Today, as our outreach team arrived at the Columbus, OH Planned Parenthood surgical abortion center, a police officer told us that if we displayed our signs and talked to the men and women going inside the center we would be in violation of the order which was issued by Governor Mike DeWine earlier this week,” Mark Harrington of the pro-life organization Created Equal, told LifeNews.com.

“As the video demonstrates, the officer had been given orders by the Columbus Police Department Legal Counsel to cite anyone for being on the sidewalk. Within a few minutes, he returned, admitted that he was wrong, and said we could stay to counsel the women seeking abortions. However, we were told we still could not have more than 10 people on the sidewalk with us and we had to maintain proper social distancing,” he said.

“Despite orders to cease performing surgical abortions, in most states Planned Parenthood is defying these orders, maintaining abortions are essential service,” Harrington said. “At the same time when pro-life speech is not being considered essential, Planned Parenthood is violating the orders of several governors to cease non-essential service (i.e. – surgical abortions). Unfortunately, what happened to us in Columbus is happening across America. As long as Planned Parenthood is killing babies, we will work save them.”

Although the situation is fluid, here are the latest reports from LifeNews.com on the status of abortion and orders to stop non-essential medical services:

No police officer can tell people they cannot pray. That is nonsense.

I had to look it up. Abortion was banned in Al in May 2019. A federal judge temporarily blocked the ban in Oct 2019. Apparently this still holds. There are 3 abortion clinics in Al which are all still running now. As per Al.com:
“Abortion clinics in Alabama are taking all necessary steps to protect the health of their patients, staff, and community while continuing to provide essential health care, in compliance with the State Public Health Officer’s Order… ” said Randall Marshall, executive director

American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama. “The consequences of being unable to obtain an abortion profoundly impact a person’s life, health and well-being.”

Wow! Yeah.

They need to shut down these mills everywhere and grab all of their masks and gloves.

[ The Devil worship of the abortion god, Molech (PP) MUST continue!!! ]

The Democrats must keep paying their dues to Satan. This is a battle against the spirit of antichrist, and principalities and powers.

The Democrats have become the party of the spirit of antichrist.

Jesus said:

John 9:4 King James Version (KJV)

4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

The night of the end of the church age is coming. When no man can work. (no this is not the old thread I referenced a minute ago)
