On Friday July 2, an estimated seven babies were killed inside Rockford's abortion mill. This morning Rockford’s abortion mill had more workers inside than babies to kill. Outside dozens of Christians prayed for over three hours for mothers and children in need and offered help to every person going in the abortion mill.
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve those that are appointed to die. Psalm 79:11
One young couple who walked up to the abortion mill took information from a sidewalk counselor then walked around the building as they discussed the pro-life information and the offers of help from the sidewalk counselor. The young man could be seen tugging and at times pulling on the young mother trying to get her to go in the abortion mill but she kept on walking away from the entrance.
The abortion mill landlord turned up his amplified public address system even louder in his psychological warfare against the young mother and finally the young man maneuvered her into the abortion mill.
Thy right hand, O LORD, is glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. Exodus 15:6
Pro-lifers prayed fervently for this young couple but all seemed lost as time went on and they stayed inside the mill. By the grace of God the abortionist was almost an hour late arriving in Rockford from Wisconsin and this extra hour of prayer and time for a mother to think was time enough for the hand of God to save a babies life this morning.As one young Rockford woman named Lindsay who had an abortion said about being in the abortion mill, "the clinic smells of blood and death."
The grace of God gave this young mother an extra hour to experience the, "smells of blood and death."
Mom, dad, and child all came out of the mill well and happy at about the same time the abortionist arrived an hour late. Mom was given the name and phone number of a sidewalk counselor and any help this young family needs will be provided.
Jesus said, "But if I with the hand of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you." Luke 11:20
We don't know why the abortionist arrived late today. This is the same abortionist who drives into the mill dangerously fast and on more than one occasion has given the finger to the Christians in prayer.
The mocking middle finger of the abortionist was actually pointing up to the one who is really in control. Today the hand of God saved a child from death as no one paid the slightest attention to the middle finger of the late arriving abortionist.
On Wednesday July 7, an estimated 16 children were killed inside of Rockford's abortion mill. Many of the people driving by the mill this morning waved or gave thumbs up to the pro-lifers who were praying. Sadly, one woman betrayed the reasoning behind a lot of abortion supporters thinking when she drove by in a red pick-up truck and screamed, "there are too many G ----dam black babies." This was a very sad commentary on what we are doing to our children.
Sidewalk counselors spoke at length with the sister of a young woman who was in the mill for an abortion. Pro-lifers shared with her the story of a mother who had an abortion in NIWC and the abortionist had a hard time killing her baby because the baby in the womb kept moving and fighting for her life. The sister of the woman having an abortion said, "I know, I know, I know it's a baby I have one of my own." This was another heartbreaking commentary on how we as a people know we are killing a person in every abortion yet we still do it.
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him...” Revelation 6:8
With the abortion mill so full of mothers the people praying at the mill figured it was a day for the late term abortionist to come to Rockford.
And so he did, shortly after 9:00am the abortionist who will end the lives of children in the womb up to 24 weeks old drove into the mill parking lot with a grim and lifeless yet resolute look on his face.
After he killed an estimated 16 babies he left Rockford with a fist full of cash and the blood of God's children on his soul.

Pro-Life Sidewalk Counselor Training
Sponsored by The Rockford Pro-Life Initiative and Pro-Life Wisconsin
Saturday July 31, 9:00am - Noon
At St. Bridget Parish located at 600 Clifford Avenue in Loves Park, Illinois
Sidewalk counseling is exactly what the name implies—standing on the sidewalk outside an abortion clinic, counseling women and couples on their way inside. It is a last attempt to turn their hearts away from abortion and offer real help.
Our goal is for every abortion minded mother to be offered real love, help, and hope at Rockford’s abortion mill during all hours of operation.
This will only happen if committed pro-lifers put their beliefs into action outside this clinic.
Veteran sidewalk counselor and trainer JT Eschbach from the Pro-Life Action League will be conducting this free seminar that is open to people of all ages who are interested in knowing how to be an effective witness for Christ and life at an abortion clinic.
This free training is also very helpful for anyone interested in learning how to talk to people about abortion and help guide them to real help.
To attend this no cost seminar please email Kevin at everylifematters@comcast.net with your name. This is so we will know how much food and sidewalk counseling materials to have.

How Compassion Sets The Pro-Life Movement Apart
Not long ago, a Hollywood film, The Blind Side, left viewers across America marveling at one family’s compassion in adopting a troubled young teen. This week another such story emerged in the folds of a Minnesota newspaper.
It centers on a pregnant eleventh-grader, who, despite pressure from her boyfriend and mother to have an abortion, decided to protect her baby’s life. But four months into the pregnancy, LaShay Ester found herself estranged from an already broken family, struggling to juggle school and a full-time job, and in need of some serious help.
That’s when the school nurse, Kathleen Hook, stepped in. It started with small gestures—a hug, some crackers and juice, a place to rest in between classes—but quickly grew into an extraordinary relationship. While others in the school raised disapproving eyebrows, the Hook family offered LaShay a place to live. They eventually became her legal guardians. And that’s made all the difference in the world for LaShay.
With the family’s support, the teen is pressing on. She graduated from high school months early, just in time for the birth of her son, Santana. By working at a retail super center, she saved enough money to purchase a car so she can commute between her job and the daycare. And this fall, she plans to attend a private four-year university one that Kathleen helped her apply for and move in to her own apartment.

Pro-Lifers Burst Planned Parenthood’s Inflated Version of Bubble Zone Law
By James Tillman
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, June 30, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In 2009 the Chicago City Council passed a bubble-zone ordinance muzzling free speech in front of abortuaries at the behest of Planned Parenthood (PP). Now local pro-lifers are saying that a series of recent incidents show that the abortion giant is willing to lie to officers about the provisions of the ordinance in order to silence pro-life counselors.
According to the Pro-Life Action League, pro-lifers David and Darlene were counseling outside of an abortion mill last Thursday. Since pro-abortion "clinic escorts" only come to mills on Saturday, their efforts were unobstructed, and they were able to stand next to the Planned Parenthood entrance without hindrance.
A Planned Parenthood director, however, threatened to call police if they did not move.
Twenty minutes later, an officer arrived and went inside the building. After he came out he reportedly told the pro-life counselors to move 50 feet away from the door.
The 2009 amendment to the City's Disorderly Conduct Ordinance, however, allows pro-lifers to come within 50 feet of the building's door. In actuality, the law creates a 50-foot "bubble zone" around abortuaries within which pro-life protestors are not permitted to approach within eight feet of any individual going into the clinic without that individual's consent.
The counselors asked the officer if he had read the ordinance, and he said he had not. When his sergeant arrived, the sergeant threatened to arrest them unless they moved eight feet from the door of the Planned Parenthood, which the pro-lifers say was another clear misreading of the ordinance.
According to the Pro-Life Action League, the pro-lifers again pointed out that the text of the ordinance clearly permitted them to counsel as they were doing. Eventually the police permitted them to remain as they were.
“All in all, it was a successful day in challenging the bubble zone,” wrote David. “I expect the next set of cops to interpret it another way, but we can always reference today’s non-citation to bolster our defense.”
The League also reports that officers have previously misinterpreted the law. In January, an officer told pro-life counselors that they could not come within eight feet of the Planned Parenthood doorway.
Again, in February one officer told sidewalk counselors not to come "within ten feet of the doorway ... that's panhandling."
"Planned Parenthood is building a reputation with the police as a place that lies," wrote the Pro-Life Action League's projects coordinator, Corrina Gura. "They give the officers their version of what they wish the law said, then they ask the police to enforce their imaginary law."
The 40 Days for Life prayer vigil was among the reasons given in support of the "bubble zone" when Planned Parenthood was attempting to get it passed.
When the ordinance was proposed, even the ACLU had opposed it for excessively burdening free speech.

She's right the abortionist knows, the nurses know, the demonic guy with the signs knows, the mothers know, the fathers know, we all know that abortion is the killing of a person. And we will all answer to God for what we have done and how we have responded.
