In Rockford, Illinois, an abortion clinic known as the Northern Illinois Women's Center performs abortions twice a week. On March 29, the clinic was open for business. Two dedicated pro-life activists were there for sidewalk counseling and prayer.
A neighborhood resident, Keith, arrived to accost them, making illegal physical contact with one of the men in the first moments of his criminal freakout, issuing forth a stream of vile racial and sexual epithets, threatening the men with his dog, and even voicing his approval for what he himself calls child killing. After a seven minute spree of misdemeanors and behavior that some viewers have described as "demonic," the abortion clinic operator, Wayne Webster, warns Keith that the police are coming and the two make it very clear that Webster has no problem with this vile activity. When police arrive over an hour later, they do nothing about the attack, treat the pro-lifers and their right to free speech derisively and are uninterested when they are informed that there is video evidence of a crime available to them. You see, Keith and Wayne performed for a camera that was in plain sight.
Due to hosting difficulties, it may be another day or two before I can share the raw video with you, but at this point I can provide you a transcript prepared by Stephenson County Right To Life. This video shows the true face of abortion, and in a sense the transcript is as bad or worse. At the request of SCRTL, I'll post the warnings that they have on their site about this content:
WARNING: What you are about to read will shock and sicken you. We have to ask why the Rockford police have allowed this hatred and these bigoted attacks to go on at the Rockford abortion mill for approximately six months; years longer involving other cases.
WARNING: This is the reality of abortion; bigotry, hatred, and violence. The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, and many of her successors were and are racists. When you see and read what these pro-abortion supporters in Rockford, IL have to say, it is indeed sickening.
WARNING: To parents: do not allow children under 18 to see this written text or to hear what is on the upcoming video.
DANGER: Proceed with caution. WARNING: You are about to see the effect that abortion has on it’s supporters....
I tried to view the video on the pro-life link, but youtube says its “no longer available.” Where can I find it?
YouTube removed the video a few hours after it was posted, and has not provided a reason. It may have been political, but could easily have been language since nothing was beeped out on the version we put up. We’ll be hosting the video on the prolifecorner site and at least one other website...I expect it to be available again either tomorrow or Thursday.
Sorry for the delay...technical issues.
Bump
Please let us know when it is available to view. thank
I agree with you 100%.
Thanks for the bump, will do.
I do agree with you on that, but also realize that each of us has a different role to play in the fight. I would not make a very good “sidewalk counselor” because I’d probably lose my temper and have no legal or political skills so that part of the fight isn’t for me, either. I have a “hearts and minds” thing I do share. “A Dream A Lot Like Mine” can be heard by clicking on http://www.myspace.com/emmettgrayson if you’d like. One thing I notice is that many people of my own generation (I’m 58) seem to resent the song, but younger folks seem to accept it much more readily. I wonder if the response of the older people is rooted in a defensivenss of guilt that simply won’t be overcome?
