Planned Parenthood intolerant of young women

Hi everyone.
Once again we got up yesterday morning and drove to Portland to proclaim the Gospel of Christ and to plead for the lives of the unborn. Daddy was not feeling well neurologically but still decided to go and was able to preach and hold a sign for a couple of hours. We had something strange happen yesterday but that will have to wait until later.

At our abortion mill we are able to be very close to the door of the building and still be on the public sidewalk, meaning we are within our legal rights to be close enough to talk to women entering the clinic without raising our voices. The "deathscorts" usually stand on either side of the door and down at the corner as well, walking on either side of women seeking abortions and talking in their ear constantly to avoid them hearing our message of life, mercy, and love. At one point yesterday Mommy counted 8 "deathscorts." Considering we usually have 4 or 5 it was a lot of them. Yesterday one of the "deathscorts" moved away from the door for a while, so I stood in their spot on the public sidewalk. My sister in Christ, Stephanie, did this a few weeks ago also. The "deathscorts" decided that they would block me in as you can see in the pictures below. What happened to being tolerant of all people? Last I checked, blocking someone in because they stood in a certain spot on the public sidewalk and was proclaiming a message you do not want people to hear, was not called being tolerant. They are very intolerant of my message.

The message of a young woman who they profess to care about and want to help. Isn't that what Planned Parenthood says they are all about, letting women choose what they want to do? The truth is that they only support you in your choice if it agrees with their anti-God worldview.




If you choose to be a young woman who lives for the Lord and seeks to glorify Him and to proclaim Christ to the world, they are not going to accept you and will instead block you, all the while saying that they are tolerant. This is not tolerance! It is a lie that they want women to be able to choose. They want women to be as they are, haters of God, and murders of precious children!

Where is my choice in whether two grown women block me and stand so close that they are invading my personal space? What happened to "my body my choice"? They show tolerance as long as you agree with them. But if you do not agree with them you are a threat to their business, and you are not accepted. This once again shows that Planned Parenthood is not at all what they claim to be.

As I said earlier, Daddy was able to preach even though he was having neurological problems. Daddy has had neurological issues for many many years but this was probably his worst time that Brian and the others from out group have seen him. After preaching he stumbled over and had to sit down on the sidewalk from exhaustion. Sometimes he has a hard time speaking or walking when one of these spells comes over him. God gave him strength though and he was able to stay for a couple of hours and make it back to the van with a little help. Brian and some of the others wondered if he was okay but everything ended up fine and Daddy was able to work today. Thank you to everyone who prayed for him. It is great to see how much our brothers and sisters in Christ care for him. We love you guys!

One man went by who seemed to be a satanist. It may have been a show to see our reaction but if someone is willing to say things like "Hail Satan" you can know that they are against you. One man asked me what the "religious propaganda" was on our van and when I told him it was not propaganda he responded with saying it was "proper gander", whatever that is supposed to mean. Since I was the one at the van and Daddy was not feeling well I decided not to argue with him and just let him move on.

There was a woman standing on the sidewalk who was holding a sign that said "Save Planned Parenthood." Daddy said that she added an extra word to her sign as it should have been, "Save Parenthood!" Those who support Planned Parenthood's practice of abortion are supportive of premeditated murder of children by their parents. That isn't planned parenthood, it is making the abortive parents into parents of a dead baby. They are still parents, but don't actually participate in parenthood.

There was a heckler from one of the higher floors of the building. We have had hecklers from the building before. I guess they are tired of hearing the Gospel week after week. Please pray for their Salvation, that as they hear the Gospel time and time again God would work in their hearts. That God would grant them repentance and faith and that they to may come to know the truth of God!

One man has come running past us the last few weeks and calls the men "little men who are intimidating women". I guess he does not realize that he runs past yelling while holding 2 large dogs, which intimidates at least my little brothers and sisters along with my mother, if not others in the group. Who is the one intimidating the women now?

One person told Mommy to kill herself. Mommy told her that that was not a solution. As the song by the band Unspoken says, "you can bury the workmen but the work will go on. You can silence the voices but you can't stop the song." Even if you killed those who stand outside the abortion mills pleading for the lives of children it will never change the truth that abortion is murder and that the Gospel is truth!

I said earlier that something strange happened to us yesterday. It actually happened to Daddy while he was sitting in the van. Mommy had taken us all into the Portland Children's Museum while Daddy sat in the van dozing off to sleep since he was not feeling well. He heard a "splat" and someone pounding on the window. A woman was yelling obscenities and ran off down the street, then started crying and wailing on the sidewalk. Daddy did not want to go talk to her by himself as she was obviously distraught, and he was barely capable of speaking, but he made his way to us to see if Mommy could talk to her, but we could not find her when we left. The sign on the back of the van said "All human life is precious. From conception to natural death." Since we were not far from the abortion mill at the time she could have seen us there but we are not sure. We only know that she seemed very upset. Our van smelled like coffee and will need to be washed but there was not much harm besides coffee on the van. Our signs can be redone very easily and we are not mad about what happened we are just concerned for the girl. Please be praying for her salvation.

For those of you who have not yet seen End Abortion Now.com I strongly encourage you to go on there and fill out the form to your government officials. Please go there today and fill it out and let your officials know your thoughts on the matter of abortion. I would love to hear some of the responses to the letter if you would like to post them in the comments below. I got the short email back from Senator Collins but since them I have not heard anything else from her. I know that she may not have read the letter and may have instead had a staff member write back but at least someone read the letter and heard the truth. I strongly encourage you to write to your officials and tell them the truth and just maybe God would use that letter as the means in which they hear the Gospel. It can never hurt to try!

Prayer
Please be praying for Mike Stockwell as he went to the Philippines to preach there. In the life of a street preacher this is considered a fun trip. Okay, maybe not to all street preachers but our family would find it a lot of fun. Please pray for his safety and that he God would use him to bring the Gospel to the people of that country.

With love in the Lord,
Virginia
