Concerned Citizens of Naples (Florida) has announced details of their first picket of abortionist Philip Waterman’s Fort Myers house. Waterman is a “circuit” abortionist who travels from Fort Myers to Naples on a regular schedule.
League Executive Director Eric Scheidler was in Naples helping local activists when abortions started there a few months ago. Now he’s helping the folks on the ground there craft their media message as they continue to fight against the killing of innocent babies in their community.
The event will take place on Sunday, March 21st between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Waterman lives at 904 Robalo Drive in Fort Myers [map]. For further information, please contact Ed Melone at 239-438-1033. [Continue reading ...]
I once heard a pastor admonish the assembled with, “you had better believe in the devil…because he believes in you.”
These days the idea of malevolent demons being actively involved in someone’s life (for their detriment) may seem almost quaint. But they are very real.
“The Church isn’t quick to judge exorcisms, because, with all the mental problems we have today, it could be something else,” Joe Scheidler recently told me. However, every sidewalk counselor can tell of seeing the devil in those walking into an abortuary. Often he manifests his presence in the man who is escorting, cajoling, and forcing the woman into the slaughterhouse.

Carol Everett. Anthony Levatino. Beverly McMillan. Joan Appleton. Luhra Tivis. McArthur Hill.
What do these people have in common?
All of them used to work in the abortion industry. Doctors Levatino, McMillan, and Hill actually performed abortions themselves, Joan Appleton was an abortion clinic nurse, Carol Everett was an abortion clinic administrator, and Luhra Tivis was a medical receptionist for late-term abortionist George Tiller.
Along with many other former abortion providers, they have all spoken out publicly about how they came to be pro-life.
I thought about these former-abortion-industry-workers-turned-pro-lifers when I realized today, March 10, is the National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers.
What can we as pro-lifers do to counter this “Appreciation Day”? Lots of things, I suppose, but the first thing that comes to my mind is prayer.
College students Mike Schaefer and Jimmy Becker decided to do something out of the ordinary last spring break.
Instead of the usual vacation, they wanted to give up their spring break year to do something productive for a cause they felt passionate about and came up with Biking for Babies.
The idea was for Mike and Jimmy to bike a 500 mile route across Illinois over their spring break with people pledging to donate money for every mile they rode. Proceeds were donated to worthy pro-life organizations to help the fight against abortion.
Even organizations that support abortion are criticizing Kermit Gosnell’s “CHOICE” abortion clinic. It seems they are even supporting laws that would force clinics to clean up a bit (good for them!).
Since it is often “pro-choice” politicians who prevent laws from being enacted to regulate abortion clinics (for fear of angering “pro-choice” interest groups who give big campaign donations), I take this as a good sign. [Continue reading ...]
Earlier this week, I was interviewed by Laura Sullivan of Medill Reports for an article published Tuesday about the commencement of chemical abortions at Planned Parenthood’s center in Springfield, Illinois. Also interviewed for the article was Planned Parenthood’s Beth Kantor, and I found one of her remarks pretty illuminating:
Springfield is a high priority. Sangamon County has the highest birth rates in the state, including teen birth rates.
For many years pro-lifers (including this writer) have predicted that someone in the secular media would, eventually, get it right—the abortion story, that is.
Now Robin Abcarian of the Chicago Tribune has come about as close as you can come.
In the Wednesday, March 3 edition of the Tribune, she writes about the
Georgia Billboards featuring the face of a black baby with the slogan “Black Children are an Endangered Species.” On the bottom of the billboard is the website, TooManyAborted.com, which claims that “under the false liberty of reproductive freedom we are killing our very future.” [Continue reading ...]

We go to the homes of abortionists…because they do not like it. They usually are not proud of being abortionists, and often they even guard from their community the fact that they are involved in abortion. If it were widely known that they are abortionists, they might be very uncomfortable in their communities, and their communities might be uncomfortable with them.
I saw this take place firsthand when we used to picket the entrance to the exclusive Inverness subdivision where abortionist Vinod Goyal lives. To say his neighbors were uncomfortable would be an understatement. [Continue reading ...]
Here at the Hotline Blog, we’ve been keeping you up to date with the latest news on Illinois HB6205, the “Illinois FOCA” bill that’s currently making its way through the Illinois House of Representatives.
This bill would enshrine abortion as a fundamental right in Illinois, even if Roe v. Wade was overturned. It would abolish all restrictions on abortion and force every public school in Illinois to teach “condom training” sex-ed from pre-school. Check out Eric Scheidler’s latest post on the Stop Illinois FOCA website for the latest on the bill’s progress.
Illinois pro-lifers have beaten this bill twice before, and we can beat it again, but there are some extremely important action items that every Illinois citizen needs to take to fight this pernicious piece of legislation. [Continue reading ...]
Last week, authorities made a shocking discovery while investigating a West Philadelphia abortion clinic run by Kermit Gosnell where a woman died following an abortion in November 2009.
In Gosnell’s office, they found two dozen frozen fetuses.
On Sunday, Gosnell’s license was suspended, with the suspension order detailing “deplorable and unsanitary conditions” that made his practice “an immediate and clear danger to the public health and safety.”
Today, on the pro-choice blog RH Reality Check, Rachel Larris has a post on Gosnell and the woman who died at his facility in November (the woman is identified by the Philadelphia Inquirer as Karnamaya Mongar).
Who does Larris blame for the woman’s death?
Why, pro-lifers, of course.
