Anti-abortion activists - Page 1

If this is your first visit to this site . . .

This is a prochoice website. I wish to show you a side of the abortion rights struggle that some people may not understand. Though many years have passed since the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, there are still a number of people who remain strongly opposed to abortion. They have a right to express themselves -- that doesn't bother me. But a small and very active core of the leaders of the antiabortion movement believe that they must end abortion by any means necessary, including bombs, guns, knives, arson and kidnapping. I have links to these peoples' websites so that you can see how they make their case in favor of antiabortion violence. You will also see on my pages links to racists and to people who are anti-gay. Those links are here to show you how these people are tied to the antiabortion movement. As well you'll find on my pages links to people and groups who are progressive and prochoice. Mostly I agree with them, but with all websites, when you enter their pages, you have left mine for the moment, and you are their guest.

Moderate Prolife Groups

They sometimes come into conflict with the hard core antis. In 2002, some people observe that the menacing, confrontational protesters are now less common. But see accounts of the Missionaries to the Preborn Head West Tour, where the hardliners got into confrontations with local moderate prolife people.

National Right to Life

Old on the scene, but new to the web, so far as I know, is National Right to Life Organization, Taking a Stand...Making a Difference. These are the old-line and genuinely more moderate anti-abortion people that the hard-liners love to hate. NRLC traces its origins back to 1973. They seem to consider themselves more a lobbying and educational organization.
NRL has two news-like pages: NRL News is issued monthly and contains commentaries on issues of the moment. Today's News is "A daily commentary on pro-life issues." It has daily essays on issues. Neither of these is a news service in the same sense as Covenant News. If your taste in anti-abortion news runs to the true nutbag right, may I suggest you check out Covenant News instead. They actually do keep up with the daily news, as they see it, and in some cases as they invent it.
NRLC offers a timeline on the subject of abortion law and the history of the prolife movement under the title Topics on Abortion. To see quite a different take on part of the same period of time, see A History of Operation Rescue, by the people at Forerunner, covering the period 1987 - 1993.

AbortionNO.org / The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform

AbortionNO.org / The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform distinguishes itself from the more extreme prolife groups by a small statement at the bottom of their home page: "CBR condemns all abortion related violence." Even such a short statement, in small type, puts the CBR on the traitors' list of hard line groups like The Army of God and Missionaries to the Unborn.
In other ways, the CBR seems to be more at home with extremist ideas. They love to display gory pictures of fetal remains on their website, and offer for sale poster-sized versions of the same images. Like Operation Rescue West, who are raising funds for a Truth Truck, CBR has fielded a fleet of those billboards mounted on truck bodies.

Prolife Critics of the Graphic Fetus Pictures

Plenty of Prolife Groups do not display the hateful and ugly posters

Who Broke the Baby? October 18, 2002 - Conservative TV commentator Bill O'Reilly criticizes the giant fetus pictures towed by airplanes.
LIFE CHAIN Falls Church, VA For their October 7, 2002 Life Chain, this is the plan of action: "Participants in the Falls Church Life Chain stand along a prescribed route, praying for an end to abortion, and holding signs proclaiming ABORTION KILLS CHILDREN (pastors' signs say JESUS FORGIVES AND HEALS)." A photo shows only these signs, no atrocity signs.
National Life Chain They call for each Life Chain event to last only one hour. Preapproved signs only from this list of available signs:

Pro-Life and non-violent? Well, maybe . . .

Insiders quarreling amongst themselves.

Prolifers Against Clinic Violence "Representing the Non-Violent Majority." Every time some fanatic starts shooting, these people shed crocodile tears. They claim that sidewalk counselors constitute a protective ring than discourages violence. Restricting sidewalk counselors thus increases the chances of violence.

Reaction to the stabbing of Dr. Romalis

American Life League Immediately after Dr. Romalis was stabbed, ALL issued a press release condemning all violence, saying "We pray for the speedy recovery of Dr. Gary Romalis."

HYSTERIA OVER ABORTIONIST STABBING CONTINUES Campaign Life Canada is convinced that proaborts stabbed Dr. Romalis. As a sign of their supposed own good faith, CLC has offered a $10,000 reward for the capture of the assailant. For some historical perspective on CLC's despicable tactic, see Anti-abortionists bombing their own cause, by columnist Clarence Page, who recalls that in Birmingham, Alabama after the 1963 church bombing that killed four little Black girls, racists claimed that the Civil Rights people had set off the explosion themselves.

HateMall of the Americas

Didja ever notice how the favorite Mom and Pop retail outlets of yesteryear have been swallowed up by the Megagiants? Same thing in the Bigot Market. Missionaries to the Unborn have recently emerged as major players in the right wing swill market. Their site is so large and complex that it gives the impression of containing many websites.

Main Page of MTTU Since September 11, 2001 they have decided to call abortion "Homegrown Terrorism."
Violence in the Heavenlies at the ACOG Conference May 2, 2003 - 35 members and allies of MTTU went to the convention of the American College of Gynecologists in New Orleans. Missionary Dan Holman may have led one abortionist to Christ. New Orleans was found to be a veritable cesspool of sin.
Supporters of Abortion MTTU provides a laundry list of liberal causes, service groups and environmental organizations that support abortion, giving quotes from a number of them.
American-Nazi War Memorial Pictures of holocaust victims displayed alongside pictures of fetuses. "The American - Nazi War Memorial is a graphic pictorial that clearly shows the link between what the Jews suffered at the hands of Nazi Germany, and what unborn babies currently suffer at the hands of American abortionists."
MS You literary types may wish to check out a piquant poetic rumination on the salutation "Ms." Cancel your subscription to Ideals Magazine, let MTTU meet all your esthetic needs.

Will the real Prisoners of Christ please stand up!

Prisoners of Christ Missionaries to the Unborn announce that the Prisoners of Christ List has been removed. See the Prisoners for Christ list of the rival Army of God.

Lawless Christianity The Horsley – Waagner relationship: the making of a puppet May 26, 2003 - Steve Wetzel gives the reasons for Clayton Waagner's name being removed from MTTU's Prisoners of Christ list. By Wetzel's lights, Waagner is an unrepentant criminal, thus certainly not a Christian. Furthermore Neal Horsley has neglected his Christian duty to lead Waagner to repentance, choosing instead to manipulate him: "Sadly, a weak-minded Waagner became a puppet for Horsley’s desire for notoriety and web site 'hits'." Make no mistake - Neal Horsley is only about Neal Horsley."

Men and women who have been active in the defense of unborn children A competing list of prisoners, with some overlap with the Prisoners of Christ list.

Pro-abortion Violence beyond the killing of unborn babies Those abortuaries are just like concentration camps, and the deathscorts are like Nazi guards.

Establishing Bloodguilt

Missionaries to the Unborn, Operation Save America, and Operation Rescue West launch projects to harass churches and individuals that don't take a religiously correct stand on abortion. In the Spring of 2002 both MTTU and OSU condemn those who have any other focus than a top priority of antiabortion agitation, declaring such deviationists as being outside the remnant of the faithful.

The Truth Suppressed at Springcreek Community Church June 28, 2003 - Member of Operation Save America, Dallas take on a church whose members they deem not holy enough.
Prolife Outreach at Billy Graham Crusade May 5, 2003 - "The California Life Coalition will conduct pro-life outreaches each night before the Billy Graham Mission this week at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego." They won't be going inside the stadium, since they aren't invited. They criticize the Graham organization for being insufficiently prolife.
Anti-abortion protests end in Adventist church member's ouster April 28, 2003 - The only non-Adventist in Positively Prolife, he had been demonstrating with the ugly pictures in front of his church and others.
Prayer for infant slayers and leaders who empower them Missionaries to the Unborn posts a "collection of imprecatory Psalms - Psalms that call for God's holy, righteous Justice." It's the material they use to put the sidewalk counselors and prayer warriors into the right mood.
Pro-Abortion "Religious" Organizations A list of 15 religious organizations judged to be incorrect. Several are noted as members of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. "List of donors to Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups, taken from public records, annual reports, and publications of The Foundation Center."
ClinicFacts.com: The site Planned Parenthood doesn't want you to see "The leading cause of death in Brazos County last year was Planned Parenthood." Read a list of proabort businesses to boycott. See how badly Planned Parenthood has been harassing Christians.
Apathetic Churches Online Targeted is any church within two miles of an abortion clinic, which is not Doing Something about it. MTTU has made a listing of the first few Accomplices to the Murder of the Unborn.
The Broad Street Presbyterian allegiance with Satan Another church fails to live up to the religiously correct standards of MTTU.

Protest group's leader arrested July, 18, 2003 - Flip Benham had a permit for a rally and sound system, but no permit for burning papers -- so he got arrested.
Will "Rescues" make a comeback? March 8, 2003 - Following the Supreme Court decision in NOW v. Scheidler, antis wonder if they'll have a free hand to misbehave again. A follower asks OSA leader Flip Benham "Do you see concerted acts of civil disobedience such as the blocking of clinic entrances being revived in the near future?" Flip answers equivocally. "Strategically, rescue as we remember it, with many folks lying before abortion mill doors, is probably something that does not need to be resurrected. The venue for the battle has shifted from the abortion mill door to the public sidewalks outside the mills. We are getting arrested for just being there holding a sign and passing our literature."
Operation Save America - Wichita OSA maintains a branch operation in Wichita, Kansas. The city has been a hot spot for antiabortion protesters for more than ten years. For current news, read Heartland Heartbeat.
Jericho March Wichita, Kansas members of Operation Save America plan to march in silence once a day for seven days around Dr. George Tiller's clinic. They are to begin on April 27, 2003 and finish on May 3. See their flyer. By May 20, 2003 they still had nothing to say about the outcome of their march, though they did post Jericho March Photos, which seem to document only a small turnout and no damage to any walls.
Did the walls come tumblin' down? Since the antis have had nothing to say about the success or failure of their Jericho March, here's what the Wichita clinic escorts (Maggot Punks) have to say: "The antis just got all revved up from their pathetic Jericho March which, despite spending over $1600 promoting, only managed to get about 60 people to participate. It was bound to be an exercise in futility since they marched at 7pm after the clinic they protested was closed."
Unholy Alliance - City of Waco and Planned Parenthood October 30, 2002 - Operation Save America condemns the city of Waco, Texas for allowing the library of Planned Parenthood to function as a branch of the city's library system.

He'll leave Waco for further work for OSA, continuing his campaign against those who have "turned the blessed Gospel of the Kingdom into a seeker-friendly, feminized economic enterprise."
OSA's project for 2002: Establishing Bloodguilt, a campaign to harrass churches that don't take the correct line against abortion. They plan to picket churches in 43 cities.

Christians Murdering Babies February 11, 2003 - Jim Rudd of the Christian Street Preachers Alliance declares many supposedly prolife Christians have the blood of the unborn on their hands. This because they support "parental consent" or "parental notification" laws. "Christians involved in the process of supporting and passing laws to murder children will also render an account for the innocent blood they have shed."
Famous Preachers or Invertebrate Bootlickers? February 19, 2003 - Well known preachers bask in the presence of the President, yet none dares to criticize him for allowing abortion or for not returning to limited constitutional government.

The Army of God

Army of God This is the major venom sac of the prolife movement. At one time they called themselves Prolife Virginia, Army of God. They claim to be "The Authorized Paul Hill Website" and feature links to several essays by the assassin himself. They have links to the "official website" of Shelly Shannon, who is serving a 31-year sentence for the attempted murder of Dr. Tiller. They feature a link to the current home of the Nuremberg Files.

African American Prolife Groups

Blackgenocide.org / LEARN The largest and most active black prolife organization. They make the case the abortion means genocide for African Americans. They plan an antiabortion march in Birmingham, Alabama for May 2, 2003. "If Our Children Aren’t Free Neither Are We." A Civil Rights commemoration is planned for the same time and place. LEARN organizer Clenard H. Childress Jr., Operating in the office of the Prophet, says of the civil rights leaders: "Black leadership of America will be confronted and served with a warrant! You have been silent too long and 13,000,000 million African American children are gone, There is blood on your hands."

Voice for Life Extensive links to press coverage of antiabortion activities, but with most stories no more recent than 2001. They specialize in recounting anecdotes of "saves," stories of women whom prolife demonstrators convinced not to have an abortion. Titles of recent save stories include "Terrorist attack causes father to reconsider abortion decision," "Pregnant mother of rescued baby helps save friend's baby."
The site also links to more than 25 affiliated missions, groups around the country who choose to affiliate with Voice for Life.

The Portland Porcupine A new website by and featuring Paul deParrie of Life Advocate fame. More of the same swagger and braggadoccio. Tough talk and provocative posturing. He's cyberhip, cool, and a wee bit narcissistic. He gives practical advice on making stencils and selecting spray paint for those sidewalk antiabortion art projects. Also featured, two works by DeParrie: Foster's Night, a novel on the travails of a future reactionary journalist, and Jesus Against the Church, a lengthy essay.

Preach Truth.org "Encouraging the practice of Street Preaching, the knowledge of true Discipleship, and the Eunuch lifestyle." Their Basic Training Manual identifies the true Enemy of the Righteous: "The enemy revealed in Scripture is amply shown to be the leadership of God’s people: the pastors, teachers and institutions designed to fuel the children of God." To carry out his mission, the preacher must remain Single for God: "Christ never married, fell in love, or engaged in sexual activity: He was a eunuch, prepared for and fully given to the service of His Father. He exemplifies the True Soldier: unentangled with the affairs of this world (II Timothy 2:4)."

Pro-Life Wisconsin They are committed to "defend each and every innocent human life, without exception and without compromise," meaning that they tolerate no exception for the life or health of the pregnant woman, or for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. Unlike the more extreme Missionaries to the Preborn, PLW does not harass patients at clinics on a regular basis or make a major point of displaying the gruesome fetus pictures.

Milwaukee's Home Grown Extremists

Missionaries to the Preborn In 1992 the newly formed Missionaries were able to draw crowds of 10,000 supporters to their public meetings and demonstrations. But quarrels among their leadership and their bizarre and violent behavior soon alienated their early followers. They can only field a small group of protesters at the clinics these days. Their largest events occur once a month, when they stage their Local Freedom Tour Style Picket, whose venue is usually an important intersection or shopping mall.

Missionaries to the Pre-born Iowa Iowa need no longer stay in the shadow of Wisconsin antiabortion extremists. After a long apprenticeship with MTTP, Dan Holman and his bride have moved to Keokuk, Iowa. Dan fans, rejoice! The website is 90% about Dan.

March 23, 2003 Bulletin from Missionaries to the Preborn They try to convince former activists to come out again, claiming that the Rico decision of the Supreme Court will give demonstrators a free hand.

Attempted Theft of the White Rose

American assassins and arsonists have chosen to steal the name of a brave resistance effort against the Nazis. The members of the real White Rose (German: Weiße Rose) were young Germans who dared to circulate anti-Nazi leaflets in Munich in 1942. Most of them were put to death within two days of their action.

White Rose Banquet A.D. 2003 Set for January 23, 2003 in Washington DC. Following James Kopp's confession that he killed Dr. Slepian, the Rev. Bray said he was canceling his annual Washington, D.C.-area White Rose Banquet, where abortion clinic bombers and killers of doctors have been honored, to instead hold a Jan. 22 rally in Buffalo to pay tribute to Kopp.

Remember them that are in bonds December 6, 2002 - An appeal by the White Rose Fund for donations to support activists imprisoned for the crimes they carried out for their prolife cause. For a list of their favorite prisoners, see Prisoners of Christ.

The 6th Annual White Rose Banquet (2002) (The document is actually no longer online and is reproduced here from a link to the web archive.) $40 for the evening, and a chance to bid on "relics," personal property of imprisoned assassins and arsonists.

That's how it was planned. I hear from a reliable source that the conference and banquet were not held at a rented hall, nor did they draw over 100 people, as the 2001 event did. Events were held at the home of Mike Bray and about 35 people attended.

Straight Shooters An account of the Fifth Annual Banquet of the White Rose. The keynote speaker was the Rev. Matt Trewhella of Milwaukee. This was the cover story in the Independent Weekly of January 24, 2001, titled Guns & Roses. The cover photograph is incendiary.

Among the speakers at the 2001 banquet was Dennis Malvasi, who would be arrested a couple months later for helping fugitive James Kopp evade prosecution.

Fireworks Over a Stilt-Walker July 25, 2002 - Who'd be the right guy to play Uncle Sam on stilts? DC's 4th of July celebration featured Michael Bray in the role. Critics think it odd that a man who's done prison time for domestic terrorism should have the Sam gig.

Pro-life activist runs Bowie Christian school May 15, 2003 - Convicted clinic bomber, pastor, and prolife activist Michael Bray is running a school that has had 24 students since it opened in 1991.

Where are the antis headed next?

From the beginnings of the current antiabortion surge in the 1980s, the movement has never restricted itself solely to opposing abortion. From early on they developped an anti-gay line. They have also been much involved in managing other aspects of everybody else's sexual behavior, including campaigns against sex education and condoms and in favor of abstinence.

Now in the late summer of 2003, some of the leading opportunists of the movement have attached themselves to Judge Roy Moore's Ten Commandments campaign: Flip Benham, Randall Terry, and Rob Schenck. Reporter Laura Sullivan of the Baltimore Sun explores possible reasons for the shift away from the antiabortion cause towards the Ten Commandments activities in Right finds a cause in Alabama: Christian group puts Commandments in national spotlight.

Not to worry, after a brief unity scare, Flip Benham and his minions are back to demonizing Randal Terry: Please Remove Randall’s Feeding Tube, begs Flip. "Giving more money to Randall Terry is like giving booze to an alcoholic."
