A second police officer consults with Officer Stevens (sitting in the car) while pro-lifers (left) pray outside of Planned Parenthood in Chicago.
Just when things might be looking up for pro-lifers facing Bubble Zones everywhere, since Pastor Walter Hoye’s Bubble Zone arrest was overturned last week, Officer Stevens of the Chicago Police Department reminds us that it’s not over until the law is gone.
Officer Stevens was the first on the scene on Saturday, August 28th. I still don’t know why he was even there.
There were two sidewalk counselors down the street, outside of the fifty foot bubble, and I was standing, motionless, 8-10 feet from the door of the clinic.
Perhaps it’s because several women took the literature I gave them, since the inexperienced “deathscort” standing alone at the doorway wasn’t as quick at pushing the girls through the entrance as some of the others are. Planned Parenthood doesn’t like when the girls carry copies of the lawsuits that have been filed against them into the clinic, I suppose.
August 28, 2007—Hundreds of pro-lifers from across the western suburbs of Chicago back an Aurora City Council meeting to express their opposition to a huge new abortuary being build in the city by Planned Parenthood. The community had learned about the nearly-completed construction only weeks before, when the press uncovered Planned Parenthood’s deliberate scheme of secrecy. Over 100 speak out against the new abortuary, but only 4 in favor. Mayor Tom Weisner agrees to launch an investigation into possible fraud by Planned Parenthood.
On Wednesday the Ms. Magazine Blog reported, “Yesterday, the Alaskan primary ballot included a measure to institute a parental notification law for minors seeking abortions. Unfortunately, the law passed.”
That last sentence sums up the attitude of radical feminists, Planned Parenthood, the ACLU and others who seek the breakdown of the traditional family.
Rather than see parental involvement in an adolescent’s health care — in this case, surgery or drugs to kill her unborn baby — as a positive influence in a young girl’s life, they view a parent’s role as intrusive, if not downright abusive. [Continue reading ...]
August 25, 2007—Over 1,300 pro-lifers participate in protest at the site of a massive new abortuary being built in Aurora, Illinois, dubbed the “Abortion Fortress.” League Communications Director Eric Scheidler coordinates the dynamic protest, which includes an “old school picket,” prayer vigil, Face the Truth Tour and leafleting of the neighborhood.
The abortion industry is motivated by greed.
That is the premise of the new pro-life film Blood Money.
The film has several main ideas it expounds upon such as:
The League’s own founder and National Director, Joe Scheidler makes several on-screen appearances, sharing his knowledge of the sordid industry.

The pro-life community of Illinois’ Fox Valley showed what it’s made of this past Saturday during the monthly protest at Planned Parenthood Aurora, with a strong showing of 70 activists. We’ve held this protest every third Saturday of the month since November 2007.
August can be a tough time for pro-life activism, with summer vacations, high temperatures and back-to-school responsibilities tending to dampen participation.
So I issued a challenge to Fox Valley pro-lifers to make a special effort to come out for Saturday’s protest. I e-mailed them about the great turnout at the Rockford, Illinois Face the Truth Day earlier in the month, and said I’d hate to see the Fox Valley outdone. [Continue reading ...]
August 19, 1999—For the third consecutive year, the League pickets Lilith Fair, a music festival with an all-female lineup, in Tinley Park, Illinois. The League objects to the fair’s support of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion chain, which passes out condoms at the fair along with stickers reading “My Body, My Choice.”
The Properly Attired condoms are no longer being sold by Urban Outfitters, as this screen clipping (with added red box) shows.
I love stories like this—these are what encourage me as an activist.
We may not have a friendly Court, we may not have a friendly Congress, and we may not have a friendly President, but our power lies with the people.
On August 11, 2010, American Life League’s Stop Planned Parenthood project (STOPP) called pro-lifers—parents, in particular—to stop a new product launched by Urban Outfitters. This “trendy” clothing store had decided to increase its profits by selling condoms. They called the product line “Properly Attired.”

The Planned Parenthood Federation of America will sever ties with its San Francisco affiliate, Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, as of September 3.
The affiliate is being cut loose apparently due to financial mismanagement. Its most recent documents filed with the IRS showed a loss of a staggering $2.8 million, and other documents from as early as 2004 indicate it has been falling well short of meeting the national office’s financial requirements.
PPGG’s political action fund — i.e., its 501(c)(4) political advocacy arm — is also in trouble with the State of California’s Attorney General’s Office, which last week sent a warning letter to the fund because it has not filed its tax documents with the office for at least 10 years.

Our hat is off to Midland (Texas) Catholics for Life, which earlier this month put up a billboard on its property (see left) featuring graphic abortion pictures.
Not surprisingly, the billboard has been generating significant controversy, due in no small part to the fact that the billboard is located across the street from a Planned Parenthood facility that performs abortions.
The local CBS affiliate did a segment on the billboard recently, and to its credit, actually showed the images of aborted babies: [Continue reading ...]
