Pro-Life "Flash Mob" Upstages Pro-Abortion Rally in Chicago --again!

See story and watch video here

CHICAGO - Saturday, April 2, was an evening to honor Pro-life Action League founder and president, Joseph Scheidler, as pro-lifers from all over the US gathered for a special "Evening of Tribute". On this occasion, abortion advocates organized a protest against Scheidler, who they claim, “works actively to eliminate access to reproductive healthcare and promotes the harassment of patients who enter family planning clinics for a variety of services.”

After hearing about the plan to protest Mr. Scheidler's tribute, the young organizers of the famed “Chicago Pro-Life Flash Mob”, once again, took to the streets in what proved to be a poignant reunion for both sides of the issue.

In part one of this epic video, Joe Scheidler is surprised by a special red-carpet tribute by the “Chicago Life Mob”, as he arrived for the dinner honoring him. Later, pro-lifers encounter abortion advocates in an intersection face-off, mediated by the Chicago Police. The youth greeted the virulent "pro-choicers" with joyous chants, music, and prayer.

Part two recounts the transformation of downtown Chicago later that evening, when the pro-life youth, joined by many bystanders, marched from the Windy City's famed "Magnificent Mile" to Millennium Park, witnessing to the culture of life with contagious exuberance and joy.

KEYWORDS: abortion; flashmob; prolife; protest
Apparently when the kids heard that the pro-aborts were going to picket the dinner honoring Joe Scheidler, the Chicago pro-life flash mob decided to strike again. Blaring Star Wars music and carrying their signature yellow balloons blazoned with “LIFE” about 100 young people showed up to cheer and spread out the red carpet for Joe. They put the meager pro-abort crowd to shame as well as stealing their negative thunder and transforming it into a passionate parade of LIFE! Which group would you rather be with? The descendents of the ruthless King Edward who killed all in his path or the modern day Bravehearts! Thank you, Lord, for these survivors of our abortion culture whose love for life is so contagious.  See the complete story here…

This is wonderful!

Joe has dedicated his entire life to saving unborn babies.

No one deserves a congratulatory flash mob more than he!
