n the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, some anti-abortion protesters are still doing the unthinkable: doubling down to threaten patients and clinics providing essential reproductive healthcare.

Anti-abortion extremists have ramped up their tactics in the key cities of Milwaukee, Detroit, Huntsville, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Raleigh, San Francisco and Greensboro.

To make matters even more dangerous, some are even confronting patients and staff in close physical proximity, crowding and touching them, and taunting and threatening to expose them to COVID-19. Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Affiliated Medical Services clinic has faced extreme harassment for years. One of the largest providers in the state, the clinic suspended their volunteer clinic escort program following the governor’s stay-at-home orders, and has requested assistance with hiring security guards throughout the week for the next six to eight weeks.

Just days ago, an extremist associated with the Army of God harassed employees while standing just inches from the main clinic door. Indianapolis, Indiana

Clinic for Women—which serves patients from throughout Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio—has reported the need to hire security and additional staff to help manage and screen patients in order to ensure the safety of clinic staff and patients.

The clinic also needed to find protective masks for non-medical staff—so last week, Feminist Majority Foundation reached out to a volunteer collective in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, that is sewing masks and arranged the production and shipment to this provider. North Carolina

Outside of A Woman’s Choice Clinics in Raleigh, Charlotte and Greensboro, virulent demonstrators continue to urge hundreds of their followers to target clinics.

Just last week, police arrested protesters on two different days for violating state emergency orders and laws.

Praying for a woman going in for an abortion is a threat- to the bottom line of the clinic.

Somewhat unrelated, but this viral outbreak, unlike other difficult times America has faced, is showing just how incredibly divided we are. I’m having a hard time seeing how we find common ground. We are essentially different cultures.

We don’t value life anymore. We value celebrity, and personal ‘achievement’, and put our egos and ourselves before innocence.

Even in the context of this pandemic, people are crawling all over each other to become ‘Covid heroes’, or to politicize it. This is very sad.

The legalization of this murderous process is not from our founders. May the Lord rebuke every supporter of abortion. And the fornicators that worship sex over life.. Repent!

Well, well, well. Ellie Smeal. She's still alive?

I know her from decades ago. She's from my hometown, Erie, PA. She must be over 80.

The Lord is kind. He has given her time to repent. Let us pray.
