January 13, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – After years of protests and prayer vigils, pro-life activists in Rockford, Illinois can finally breathe a sigh of relief – the notoriously bizarre Northern Illinois Women’s Center (NIWC) has announced that it will close permanently.
“The staff is very saddened by the closing,” said the owners of the facility in a statement released this morning to the Rockford Register Star. “We are not done grieving this loss and still are struggling with surrendering to the idea that we will not be able to do this work tomorrow or the day after.” Just one example of many of the bizarre forms of window dressing used at the Rockford abortion facility.
The statement comes on the heels of news that the facility was prepared to reopen its doors after it reached a settlement with state health officials earlier this month, after being shut down late last year for health violations.
However, the Register Star reports that the director of NIWC said that the decision to shut down permanently was due to “a lack of support from the community, the political climate surrounding the abortion issue both locally and nationally and the challenge the clinic would face in rebuilding staff,” in the words of the Register Star reporter.
“We thank God that Rockford’s long nightmare is over,” pro-lifer Kevin Rilott, who has led pro-life vigils outside the NIWC for years, told LifeSiteNews.com. “This abortion mill killed tens of thousands of babies and wounded countless women. Their closing is a gift from God.”
NIWC has long been the scene of ongoing protests from pro-life activists. The facility achieved national notoriety in the pro-life community for its personalized, taunting messages and mocking signage, including hanged and crucified rubber chickens in the windows. The owner of the facility has been known to mock pro-lifers while dressed in a devil costume, or even to emerge from the facility wielding a running chainsaw to drown out pro-lifers.
Rilott said that he believes that, in part, the shutting down of the facility can be blamed upon such actions on the part of its staff.
“The idiotic signs that Wayne Webster posted in the clinic windows exposed to full public view the lies of abortion and hidden evil that motivate the murder of babies,” he said in a post on the Pro-Life Corner website.
However, he said that ultimately the credit should be given to two people: “Jesus Christ and the many people who prayed and worked in countless ways for years for an end to the killing in the NIWC.”
Gratias Dio
Thank you God.
These foul folk see themselves as victims, but are blind to the millions of children murdered by abortionists.
May God bring them to repentance and conversion.
What prayers accomplished— and politicians did not.
God bless all the people who prayed in front of that clinic for so many years.
Reposted from a previous posting and modified, how I would eliminate the murder centers with life center under the noses of progressives without out them even realizing.
Here is my plan. (when technology gets developed enough to do so)
The conservatives should covertly open up “abortion centers” (not really abortion centers) that are either free or that actually pay the woman wanting the abortion. (this will put Planned Parenthood out of business)
The Fetuses/ premature babies are extracted still living and placed in a growth acceleration / gestation “tanks”. While they grow a special neural interface programs the growing children with the values and conscience of a conservative along with an individual identity and actually usable life skills to boot, Reading, Writing, and ‘Rrithmatic.
Identity papers are created and when the individual is release from the tank in a few months as a fully grown adult they sign an agreement to pay back the center for “saving them” this is seen as a “life debt” by the programming. Or they also help open more centers like this as a “life calling”.
I would have pro-life group actively protests these “centers” to keep the left out of our business as they would create an air of “plausible denial” around them.
Eventually we will outnumber them all 10 to 1 and those Liberal Professors who say we are a Democracy....
The libs want a democracy, well, “THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE” as the saved children work to restore the Republic and kick the commie scum out of the country after we outnumber them 10 to 1.
This option could conceivably become viable anywhere from 20-50 years from now, unfortunately too late to save those murdered today, but in the future maybe we can use a strategy like this to eliminate the horror of abortion forever.
Fewer customers means they go out of business. That's a shame.
“Grieving” for a killing clinic? Libs certainly are crazy, OK to kill innocent life, but not OK to kill a non-living abomination. Yep, just plain crazy.
A bit like grieving the liberation of Auschwitz.
Placemark for tomorrow.
