Religion See other Religion Articles Title: Abortion: Rockford, Illinois-style
Written by Ann Shibler
Those opposed to abortion have often called the practice of killing unborn babies evil. That may be a self-evident truth, but in Rockford, Illlinois, the Northern Illinois Women’s Center seems determined to illustrate the fact for all to see. As we have reported in the past, the abortion facility engages in truly bizarre expressions of mockery and contempt for Christians and their beliefs, but equally disturbing is the apparent willingness of Rockford police to act on the center's behalf against law abiding protestors.
For a taste of the bizarre, consider that recently, according to witnesses, the owner of the facility, dressed in a devil suit, mockingly "blessed" Catholic priests praying nearby with a pitchfork he was carrying. All the while, a very obscene picture of Jesus Christ was displayed in the window of the facility. Other windows have collected so many signs, they are more like derisive billboards. In June an agent from the Department of Health and Human Services Civil Rights Division was sent to investigate the “medical facility,” but nothing has come of it so far, except her name on a window poster with vulgar expletives.
Now, in another turn to the strange and surreal, police seem to have "arrested" an image of Christ. On Wednesday October 8, when the prayer warriors had assembled out front of the killing center, armed with their placards and some devotional pictures, the police were already out front, as they usually are. Some of the devotional pictures were placed between the sidewalk and the street while those praying paced the sidewalk near them. In the video you can see the center’s owner approach the squad car, have a few words, and immediately the squad car is driven over to one of the protestors.
According to the protestor with whom we spoke, the police officer said he must “tend” his devotional picture, but the man answered in reply that he was, as it was only resting a few feet away from him. The police officer then reportedly ordered the man to turn off his video camera before calling his supervisor. and shortly thereafter, two more squad cars arrived. The police supervisor then on the scene said the sign was "unattended" and thereupon confiscated the picture of Christ and placed it in the back of his squad car. At last report, the picture remained in the possession of the police department. This can all be seen plainly in the video, linked below.
While the protestor's picture of Jesus was confiscated, the obscene picture of Jesus in the abortion facility's window remains in place. About 100 pro-lifers have sent a letter to their city aldermen and attended city council meetings in order to get the city to enforce its own ordinance of “Offensive Use of Property,” so far to no avail.
Video Warning: Some scenes in the video are disturbing and obscene in the depiction of Jesus Christ, but none the less show the real face of abortion in Rockford, Illinois, and the actions of the police. We leave it up to our readers whether they want to view it or not. Click here to view the video.
