Fox Valley pro-lifers protest NARAL
Posted by Matt Yonke on Friday, May 8th, 2009
NARAL, the National Abortion Rights Action League, held their a national "Power of Choice" fundraising luncheon at the Swissotel in downtown Chicago on Thursday May 7, 2009. Fox Valley activists joined the Pro-Life Action League was there to remind them what "Choice" really means.
At 10:30 a.m., before NARAL's guests began to arrive volunteers lined Wacker Drive with baby Malachi signs from the driveway of the hotel all the way to Columbus Drive.
The next group of volunteers set up with the League's famous "Stop Abortion Now" picket signs right next to the driveway. Whenever cars approached the entrance, the picketers formed a veritable wall with their signs making the message clear to all who entered the Swissotel.
Much of the protest was set up along the cab stand on Wacker Drive. This provided ample opportunity for pro-lifers to interact with the cabbies waiting to catch a fare.
Stalwart pro-life activist Mike Busse had a lengthy conversation with one cabbie who was under the impression that President Obama's "Pro-Choice" stance was a good thing. When Mike told him that pro-choice meant he supports what the baby Malachi posters portray he was shocked and appalled.
At about 11:30 a steady stream of flashy vehicles carrying sharply dressed men and women started pouring into the hotel for the fundraiser. A few shouted curses at the pro-lifers, but most drove in simply shocked to see the reality of abortion at an abortion-rights fundraiser.
After the crowd arriving at the luncheon died down, League national director Joe Scheidler gathered the crowd of more than 30 pro-lifers on the corner next to the hotel. He told them that the important thing about activism was to keep doing it. He reminded them that they must keep the abortion issue front and center in the public eye so that this controveresy never dies down until abortion ends in America.
Joe invited the crowd to join him at Notre Dame on May 17 for the protest of President Obama's speech there and told them that any time pro-abortion forces like NARAL show up in Chicago, the Pro-Life Action League will be there to show them the truth. To close, Joe led the crowd in the Our Father and a chorus of "Praise God" to the tune of Amazing Grace.
Much todo, (intense, deliberate and sometimes heated) about HEALTH CARE reform.
Don't anyone dare to even wonder about HEALTH NEGLIGENCE or even HEALTH DESTROY.

Financially Troubled Planned Parenthood of El Paso Closes Doors
EL PASO, Texas, July 1, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In 1937, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger personally visited her gleaming new Planned Parenthood offices in El Paso, Texas. This past June 30, however, American Life League joined local pro-life activists in celebration of a major victory as all seven of the Planned Parenthood of El Paso facilities permanently close their doors.
The El Paso Planned Parenthoo group announced at a press conference Friday that it would shut down after 72 years of operation due to financial concerns, citing a drop in donations and government funds.
"Today, it is with deep heartfelt regret that I have to announce that Planned Parenthood Center of El Paso will close all of its care centers as of June 30, 2009," Analinda Moreno, the El Paso group's interim CEO, told the press.
Rita Diller, director of American Life League's STOP Planned Parenthood project, said they expect "many more closures in the days to come, as people become aware of Planned Parenthood's sex-crazed birth control and abortion business."
"What happened to Planned Parenthood of El Paso is part of a larger trend," Diller said. "One by one, with hard work and prayer, these facilities are closing down, no matter how entrenched Planned Parenthood may seem to be in a particular community."
