The millionaire great-grandson of Henry Ford used his influence to force a Michigan church to take down part of its pro-life display this month.
Edsel B. Ford II complained to the City of Grosse Pointe that the display at St. Paul on the Lake Catholic Church was ugly and a “blight” on the community, The Federalist reports. Ford retired from the board of Ford Motor last year, according to ABC News.
The city responded “immediately” by ordering the church to take down its pro-life sign or replace it with a smaller one to comply with a city zoning ordinance, according to the report.
A photo of the St. Paul on the Lake display shows a large sign that reads “64,000,000 lost U.S. lives” surrounded by white crosses representing the lives of aborted babies on the church lawn. The sign also displays a phone number and website for women seeking pregnancy help.
Ford, whose wife is on the board of Michigan Planned Parenthood, apparently has complained about the pro-life display several times.
“Once again, I am writing to you with dismay concerning St. Paul Catholic Church’s use of their front lawn on Lake Shore Road to place signs and crosses advocating their political/moral/ethical position against abortion,” Ford told the city, according to the Detroit Free Press.

I see that began in 1929.
I knew I could find some Edsel comments here.
Weasel!
Hopefully, Almighty God will avenge each murdered infant.
It may not have been Communist in name, but people on it certainly admired the Soviets and the Maoists.
No decent, rational person should ever purchase a Ford product.
Edsel, a failed car and failed life.
My Dad had a ‘59 Edsel, it was his proudest possession. I was 16, just learning to drive, when I drove it to our local greasy spoon. Backed out of my parking spot next to the building, and my best friend who was with me yelled out “Hello walls” too late. I was grounded for a month...
I wish I had an Edsel automobile in good shape.
I heard they are worth one million dollars each.
Ouch!!!
“I heard they are worth one million dollars each.”
Only to those willing to pay that much.
Edsel B. Ford II
Henry Ford is rolling in his grave
If he is not a member of that particular church then he cannot complain about how it operates.
"This is where we had a sign mourning the deaths of 64 million innocent aborted babies. But powerful B. Ford II and his wife (on the board of Planned Parenthood) - whose parents did not abort them - complained, so we were forced to take it down!"
Regards,
Is there a Ford in your future? Well, not in mine. Edsel and his Planned Parenthood wife and can take their pro-abortion activism and shove it.
Just another woke church. The falling away continues. Living in perilous times. Look up!🙏

Church leaders failing to defend the faith, again.
And you wonder why churches are empty
“And the Catholics take a knee.”
