Life Saved in Rockford because of Grotesque Display in Abortion Facility Window

ROCKFORD, Illinois, March 16, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Grotesque "decorations" in the windows of a notorious Rockford abortion facility, featuring rubber chickens hanging from nooses, led to a life saved, after two young men, disgusted by the display, convinced their pregnant companion to leave the building.

The incident took place last Friday at the Northern Illinois Women's Center in Rockford IL, where two men had brought a 17-year-old female friend for an abortion.  Kevin Rilott, a pro-life veteran at the notorious Rockford mill, reports that the young men came out of the building and began conversing with pro-life participants in the 40 Days for Life vigil, as neither of them approved of the abortion. 

When the 40 Days for Life crowd pointed out the disturbing display - three rubber chickens lynched in the abortion mill's windows - the two men were aghast, and expressed shock and disbelief.  "I can't believe the black community isn't offended," said one.

The Rockford abortion centre has showcased bizarre and disturbing symbols since at least May 2008, when the display included mock-sacred images, including the "crucifixion" of a rubber chicken, and a nun in a coffin. (http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/may/08050717.html) 

"It was interesting to see this young man's reaction when he saw all the rubber chickens hanging by nooses in the windows of what he thought was a medical facility, it really opened his eyes to what this place is all about, a mockery of life," said Rilott. 

Incited by what they perceived as an egregious insult, the two men decided to try again to convince their female friend not to abort, taking the group's pro-life pamphlets with them back into the mill.  All three soon came out of the building, and the pro-lifers were able to offer the young mother help.

"It was very clear this morning to all who where there that these young men and the young mother knew abortion is wrong," said Rilott.  "But seeing in the windows of this mill the sickening nature of what really happens inside opened their eyes."

"Without knowing the racist history of abortion in Rockford this young man immediately saw how offensive hanging rubber chickens by nooses in the windows of a building located in an African American neighborhood is," said pro-lifer Donna Modica, who was present that morning.  "It's sad to see so many African American parents bring their children to a place like this." 

Rockford's 40 Days for Life states that nine babies have been saved since the start of the campaign this year.

Of course it's a mockery, they are MURDERERS.

"It's sad to see so many African American parents bring their children to a place like this."

Parents bring their children to these places??? (I am presuming the children are the ones pregnant.)

Abortion was originally pushed heavily by the racist Margaret Sanger who was on a mission to kill back babies in the womb.

Her success is evident in the large number of blacks that have their unborn babies killed.

Knew all that, but... the parents bring their children to have their grandchildren aborted? What has the world come to?

[Syncro]

Yes, that is unfathomable.

Liberals and followers of the Obama mindset have their brains seared.

Change is coming IMO, of Biblical proportions

[wagglebee]

Or the children are the ones condemned.

I know about another life that was saved because of the actions of the staff. A girl went in for an abortion, and needed a sympathetic ear. Instead, she entered into a party atmosphere, where staff and patients were discussing soap operas, and their party plans for the weekend. This girl was taken aback by their attitudes, and had a little boy a few months later. He is 9 years old now. Thank you baby killers for giving me my grand-nephew.

I see it at the abortion clinic that I go and pray in front of. Probably happens about 1/3 of the time. Others come with a girlfriend or a boyfriend/former spouse — who knows on that one.

I’ve even seen a father walk in with his daughter!

[sionnsar]

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. Words fail me...

You know that’s the same thing I thought of when Obama stated that he would not want his daughters “burdened” by a child. Obama basically said to his girls with that statement, that it is fine with him if they abort his grandchildren. Now that is sick.

It is difficult, if not impossible, to confront one’s own sin.

[pankot]

I earnestly hope you are right, for all our sakes.

[Syncro]

WWOD?

Present Obama said children are a punishment to a pregnant girl.

I wonder if he would take his daughter to an abortion facility if one of them got pregnant?

Let them be punished with a child, or.....?

Do you realize this man would otherwise be a serial killer like Bundy if he was not doing it legally in a clinic?

He is a serial killer.

His comments are among the sickest I’ve ever read!
