ROCKFORD, Illinois, July 7, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The pattern of abuse at a Rockford abortion facility has continued after an employee allegedly struck with his car a homeless man praying with pro-life protesters, and drove away, according to witnesses at the scene.
The vehicle reportedly struck Scott Griffin on Wednesday as it drove into the driveway of the abortion facility, where pro-lifers say workers frequently drive recklessly in an apparent attempt to intimidate those praying and handing out pro-life literature.
"The dark colored SUV the clinic worker was driving hit Scott Griffin with the mirror on the passenger side so hard the mirror was slammed back into the vehicle and Mr. Griffin was stunned and bruised," Rockford pro-life veteran Kevin Rilott said.
"After the clinic worker hit him she didn't slow down or stop to see how he was - she just kept going."
Another witness, George Lambert, said the female clinic worker "really nailed the guy hard - I couldn't believe she didn't even stop to see how he was."
City Attorney Kerry Partridge refused to comment on whether any suspects had been questioned or charged, saying only that the case is still under investigation.
LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) has previously reported on the bizarre behavior of the owner and a local abortion supporter at Rockford's Northern Illinois Women's Center. Pro-life protesters have been regularly harassed and grotesque displays remain in the abortion mill's windows, including rubber chickens hanging from nooses, a crufied rubber chicken, a nun doll in a miniature coffin and displays with crucifixes and the words "Jesus loves you a**holes."
One of the most recent additions to the facility's displays is a hand-written sign that reads "NIWC 50,000; JC 50," which indicates the number of abortions performed at the Northern Illinois Women's Center in comparison to 50 saved from abortion by "J.C." - or Jesus Christ.
In March, LSN reported that two young African-American men persuaded their female companion not to abort her child after they were horrified by the rubber chickens hanging by nooses in the abortion facility windows, which pro-lifers at the scene pointed out to them.
The recent Rockford incident continues a rash of violence against pro-life protesters and sidewalk counselors across the country in recent weeks. Last week a man was arrested after he pulled a gun on a woman offering him pro-life literature in front of a Phoenix abortion mill. Another vehicular assault occurred in June at a Chico, CA abortion clinic, where a pro-life protester was nearly run down by an SUV. Witnesses report the driver was enraged by the graphic abortion image the woman carried. The suspected attacker was subsequently arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

They love death, so this is no surprise.

Lets see, if Scott Griffin was 40 years old, it would be an abortion in the 160th trimester...??
Apparently she thought she was just culling the herd.
40th year would be the 123rd to the 125th trimesters, but who’s counting? Certainly not the driver.
...When the thrill of killing babies is no longer enough...
Bloodlust ALWAYS demands more blood.
The math in the window poster is also bad.
In fairness, when leftist creeps at the local university blocked the streets in one of their protests back in the 70’s, I’d have gladly clipped one or more if I thought I could get away with it. Can’t hold baby killers to a higher standard than my own.
Violence is OK if you’re on the left.
I wouldn't hve believed it if she had stopped to see how he was. That would be the decent human thing to do, adn these people re anti-decency and anti-humanity.
They are bragging about killing 50,000 babies! That’s sick.
Depending on the poll, about 52% oppose abortion.
Left unsaid is that despite their efforts, the consciences of the remaining 48% won’t leave them alone. It is wise to listen when God speaks.
No, it sure isn’t. Life means literally nothing to them.
