NY Bookstore Stands Against New Abortion Law, Closes Store To Mourn ‘Thousands of Babies That Will..
Western Journal ^ | January 23, 2019 at 2:57pm | Steven Beyer

A New York bookstore is taking a stand against a law that was signed in the Empire State on Tuesday legalizing late-term abortions.

On Wednesday, Jon Speed, owner of the Jon Speed: The Book Scout in Syracuse, closed the doors of his business for one day in protest of a law that pro-abortion liberals literally celebrated.

In a Facebook post, Speed wrote: “The book store is closed today. It is a day of mourning in New York. In honor of the thousands of babies that will die in the years to come, we shall not be collecting sales tax for this tyrannical government today. We will on other days, under duress, but not today.”

Speed says that while he’s been vocal in the past about pro-life issues, even producing a pro-life documentary, this is the first time he’s taken a public stand like this.

He told The Western Journal that after the legislation was passed and signed, he was so “distraught” that he had a hard time sleeping.

“There’s not much you can do after the fact,” Speed said. “I thought, ‘Well maybe I just put a sign out and explain my position.’

“That way, at least my customers will know where I stand on this,” he continued.

Speed said this normally isn’t something he talks about with his regular customers, but when the legislation passed, he “wanted to make a stand.”

The bookstore owner told The Western Journal that making this decision has cost him at least one customer, who’s told him they were done doing business with him.

God help this nation. There is punishment for this type of act. May it fall on those promoting it, and not our Nation.

I have great respect for this New York bookstore owner for closing his store to let his concern and disagreement w/ NY’s new abortion law be known. 4/4

Many in our nation have been so conditioned to accepting abortion their soul hardly flutters when full term babies are added to the carnage

May God have mercy on our souls

I suspect his store will be closed by vengeful authorities. That ramp doesn’t look up to ADA code. “Dissent is patriotic” only works for one side in the debate.

It is a day of mourning in New York.

NY Lawmakers are celebrating along with abortion mill supporters.

Feminazis LOVE abortion. This is a sign of a mental disturbance that has no cure. It stems from an intense hatred of self and human nature.

Sufferers blame their hatred on the “patriarchy,” but it’s really about hating human nature and the way we are as humans.

I hope he moves to a different state.
New York is a cesspool.

There is plenty of blame to go around. Anybody who tolerates this or pays for it with their tax dollar owns a part of it. That includes me.

In a different context, the thought related by Thomas Jefferson --- that when he reflected that God is just, he trembled for his country --- is even truer now than it was then.

Read the Biblical message below, think: who is poorer or more needy than an unborn child?

Anyone who celebrates this is EVIL. They serve the wrong master. A terminal condition.
