Kerry's Peeps Revile Priests at Pro-Abortion March

Sunday, April 25, 2004 | Kristinn

The best way I can explain what I witnessed at today's so-called March for Women's Lives is to reference the movie, The Exorcist. When the possessed child, Regan, is confronted by priests who have come to expel the evil spirit from her, she reacts in shockingly vulgar, profane ways.

That is how thousands of 'pro-choice' demonstrators reacted to the presence of a lone priest blessing and praying for them along the march route.

Father Reynolds stood for hours this afternoon on Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, in front of the Navy Memorial. Other members of the clergy and pro-life activists were spread out along the same block. Almost nonstop, he made the sign of the cross with his right arm while speaking to the marchers offering blessings and prayers.

The response was nothing short of satanic. Father Reynolds was cursed at and flipped off by hundreds of marchers, many of whom sported Kerry stickers. Many other marchers mocked the sign of the cross. Some denounced God while others denied His existence.

Marchers screamed at the top of their lungs against the priest. He was repeatedly accused of being a child molester by those who support the murder of children.

One woman walked up to the priest and stood just on the other side of the police-manned fence separating the sides. She made the sign of the cross, but finished by thrusting her hips forward at the priest while she dramatically grabbed her crotch.

All the while, 'pro-choice' marchers were walking behind our lines with the permission of police. This caused me and another man to stand guard by Father Reynolds because the 'pro-choice' marchers kept harassing him and the police were slow to intervene.

I was wishing I had a video camera to document this. To see Kerry supporters acting in such a revealing and demonic manner was unsettling. Hour after hour passed of this vile, contemptuous behavior toward the priest. Noone on their side tried to rein in their evil behavior. It was the Democratic party at its most real.

The last group in the march was a bunch of homosexuals in drag who stopped and sang crude, profane songs meant to insult the clergy.

Father Reynolds blessed the men, as he had done thousands of others all afternoon. His faith was not shaken by the way he was treated today. He remained in good spirits throughout. His blessing arm was almost worn out, though :-)

kristinn and Saddam aka Doctor Raoul waiting for the Death March to begin. Saddam entertained the police line near us by exhorting the environmentalist marchers to bend down and pick up a piece of litter. Some of them actually did.

These people welcome possession, so show no outward signs of it.

Still slips out, IMO. Check out the black uterus in this sign. It simply screams "I hate myself and I am looking forward to death."

I worry about the end results of the breakdown of civil discourse.

Aw shut up, you #%$@*^! [Just kidding]

What's up with the DC police? Before, it seemed they were making an effort to protect peaceful demonstrators - who also happen to tend to be conservative. What's changed? Orders from on high to the grunts pounding pavement?

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Flora.

Thanks for sharing the story about Fr. Reynolds, kristinn.
You all truly were in the face of evil.

"John Kerry for President!"

Great picutres Flora! You look as pretty as ever too.
I love your posters.


I am so sorry we never met up, but we had a great day. I can hardly wait until our next meeting so we can all share our stories.
I have lots of great pictures and a movie. I'll send you a few good ones of our group.

"They expose themselves to the possibility of disease, pregnancy, and the psychological harm of being abandoned or discarded."

Right. We already have control over our own bodies anyway. It's called birth control. While no birth control method is 100 percent effective, in this day and age there is no good reason for a woman to get pregnant in the first place. Abortion is not a birth control method.

"16 of us were arrested and charged with "demonstrating without a permit."

Well, that sucks...please ping me when you fill in the blanks to the story.

"George W Bush, go to hell! And while you’re at it, we want you to take Ashcroft with you. And don’t forget Rumsfeld. And please carry along Condi Rice."

Thank you, Californians, for blessing us with yer braindead Congresswoman, Maxine Waters...MUD

Caught that same story on EWTN last night! Sent shivers down my spine.

Abortion is not about saving women’s lives!

Total Abortions since 1973
44,670,812

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)

The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions — California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)

· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing

· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby

· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child

· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)

· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career

· 7.9% of women want no (more) children

· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health

2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So how many women’s lives have been saved by abortion?

Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be “due to a risk to maternal health.” A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But let’s say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women.

Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

I heard Fr. Corapi tell that Bishop Sheen story as well last night, I tried to search the internet for more information on the story but was unable to find any since I found it so troubling-

I was watching Fr. Corapi too, his story about Bishop Sheen on the plane ride during lent was frightening.
