TO THE PRO LIFE PRESS: DO NOT CLAIM TO BE LEADING THE CHARGE TO END LEGALIZED CHILD KILLING IF YOU IGNORE THE BEST TACTIC USED IN 39 YEARS.





George Offerman

My apologies for the lengthy title of this piece, but I couldn’t come up with a better headline that gets to the essence of this piece.  That being said, the deliberate ‘icing’ by the pro-life ‘press’ of Randall Terry’s presidential campaign (and the congressional campaigns of Angela Michael in Illinois and David Lewis who is running against Speaker Boehner in Ohio) of UNEDITED AND GRAPHIC COMMERCIALS soon to be running in many of the major cities across this land during the super bowl pregame and game is unprecedented as in EVER.  There has never been a presidential candidate before, when using federal campaign laws to run unedited and graphic pictures of dead babies has received the attention these ads are already getting in the states and cities they are being run in.  Nothing has come close to generating the debate on legalized child killing as these ads, which depict in the most graphic way imaginable the despicable nature of “choice’.  There are no efforts put forth BY ANY PRO LIFE GROUP that is even remotely close to doing what these ads are doing.

These groups have used any number of ‘reasons’ why they have not been supportive of Mr. Terry’s, Mrs. Michael's and Mr. Lewis's efforts as their excuse in not backing and funding this effort.  There are other groups and pro life ‘press’ that have simply chosen to ignore these efforts and has rebuffed any attempts by the Terry team reaching out to them.  Many of these groups don’t want to think and act outside of the box given to them by the IRS and the 501 c 3 laws, and do not want to jeopardize their standing among those who they wish to impress, but do not hold to the pro life positions these groups and leaders claim to be representing.

One of the primary refutations offered by many of these organization is that Randall Terry is an ‘attention hog’ is ‘showboating’ and making the claim that it is “about Randall Terry all of the time”.  Some have gone on further to make claims that Randall Terry is so ‘80’s’ and is irrelevant and ought to move on with his life.  I am not sure if these folks making these statements flunked a basic logic course, or truly don’t have the mental capacity to put two coherent thoughts together, but a simple Google search of Randall Terry will reveal at least 200 stories done on these commercials in the past several weeks, with a good number of them being national and international in nature.  I don’t know about these folks, but this much press in such a short time frame seems to make Mr. Terry and his efforts VERY RELEVANT and has brought the issue of legalized child killing front and center of this debate.

I can (and did) a Google search on any number of ‘pro life organizations’ and ‘pro life press’ and find only their own references concerning their efforts.  The MSM is not covering anything they are doing to any extent even remotely close like these graphic commercials are getting.  They are not garnering the attention, and cannot make any serious claims that their efforts are anywhere near the ‘moral’ or ‘noble’ or ‘effective’ standards they have arbitrarily set for their mediocre efforts and lame attempts to mitigate their responsibility in selling the babies out.  No one fears these groups and organizations, and not one government agency or state government or local government or television networks or their affiliates are trying to block any of their efforts to get the message out the way they are the Terry campaign and commercials.  To put it simply, the pro deathers and their conspiratorial and complacent lackey MSM are scared “sh-tless” of this message getting out.

For those who believe Randall Terry and his message are irrelevant or ‘showboating’, explain how the MSM would ‘kowtow’ to Randall Terry and his message.  Does Randall Terry carry God like powers and authority in which he can through the process of osmosis “will’ the MSM into showing these commercials and giving press to his candidacy?  How is this ‘irrelevant’ man making this issue so ‘relevant’ and making it the scourge of this year’s campaign?  I would like for the lame stream pro life press and pro life groups to answer these questions (if they dare).  I also want to know from these leaders and organizations why they are not getting the press and coverage if their efforts are as ‘noble, moral, good and effective”.  Are you deliberately keeping your efforts outside of the MSM presence and hiding them under a bushel basket?  Are your efforts ‘stealth’ in order to not garner negative press from the MSM whom you so loathe?  Maybe double secret probation is in effect here?

For the leaders in the pro life press:  are you aware that Randall Terry and David Lewis and Angela Michael - these three individuals - have garnered more press coverage in the Main Stream Media than all other pro-life groups in the entire nation combined in the last 3 months. The very words "child killing" and "murder of babies" have been in more stories covering them than every other pro-life group in the nation combined in the last year. In other words, their efforts are driving the debate forward, in the exact arenas where it counts the most: politics and the press.  Furthermore, when Randall's ads run in as many as 20 cities (including Chicago, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Tulsa...etc.. and Angela's and David's ads run in St. Louis, Decatur, Terra Haute, Cincinnati, and Dayton, they will reach collectively into over 20 million homes with images of dead babies.

For years, pro-lifers and the pro life press have complained and whined that they do not get fair coverage, or even ANY coverage from the press. These candidates have shown that one can get good coverage, and fair coverage, if one does something that is NEWSWORTHY.  It is so ironic that those so called leaders in the pro life press and movement can hold this standard to the MSM, yet they themselves sit in judgement of 'news' they deem is not appropriate or 'right' and 'choose' to ignore, or to condemn or to simply negate it by claiming all efforts are as 'noble, moral and effective' as all the others.  Yet no one is paying attention or covering their issues as they see it.  So, the leadership of the pro life press is reaping what they sew, and they don't seem to be dealing with it very well. 

For the leaders in the pro life press:  do you find it necessary to write pabulum for the pro life movement in order to raise funds?  Do you enjoy continuing your ‘count’ of the number of issues you put out on the web?  Do you look forward to a ‘long and fruitful life’ of ‘working to end abortion’ while ‘icing’ the real efforts in order to propagate your own ability to make a living off this movement?  It’s time to stand up for the babies and grow a set.  It’s time to end this holocaust, and show all of these ’choicers’ what their choice actually looks like.  If you are constitutionally incapable of making these moves, get the hell out of the way, and you will see how real men get the job done.

You in the pro life press: it's time to report the real truth to the warriors out there, and it is time to be bold, told and sold on the pro life message and do your job as if the world depends on it.  This is a time to get the job done.  We need warriors on the battlefield, and not the collection of wimps, weenies, fruits, flakes and nuts who currently occupy the ‘front lines’ of this movement.  When enough real men step up and do real battle, we will see real result and a real ending of legalized child killing as the Living God requires.  Until then, we will see nothing that resembles any movement towards victory.

THE PAY TO PRAY SCAM



This post is written by Angela Michael who is co director of small victories, and congressional candidate in her Illinois district.  The Michael's have been active in the pro life movement for over two decades, and have over 4,000 lives saved as a direct result of their relentless efforts in front of the killing fields in Granite City, Illinois.

Many people may dispute the idea of any criticism levied at groups who represent the pro life issue, but as recent events have demonstrated, there are even official church representatives asking prominent pro life leaders to be more accountable with their funding.  If there really are issues with the way money is used, it will ultimately be more of a distraction in the real goal of the pro life movement which is:  To end all legalized killing of children from conception to birth.


THE PAY TO PRAY SCAM

  1 Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires……

After taking part in the 40 Days for Life prayer vigils for almost three years, we finally realize that it is ridiculous to make people pay $197.00 to be a part of the 40 Days for Life Campaign. Understand, we have been holding prayer vigils, and through the ultrasound van helping moms and saving babies for almost 20 years on a daily basis, just like a lot of other faithful pro-lifers across the United States. So, why would we pay money to pray outside of an abortion clinic? 
                                                                                                                                                                     Now don’t get me wrong. We went into this with the best intentions over three years ago with our first campaign. It’s always good to get a multitude of prayer warriors outside facilities where children are scheduled to die. However, charging money to do what our ministry has been doing for two decades for FREE sounds more like a scam. For, the only thing you get is access to the 40 Days main website and modules. That’s all. No shirts, no banners, no signs. We had to pay extra for all our materials, so another organization made money too.

            The real reason for the “praying fee” appears to be, sadly, that David Bereit, the National Director for 40 Days for Life, needs to make a $94,000.00 salary, and that Shawn Carney, campaign director, can collect $20,000.00 at last report.

            When I questioned Mr. Carney about this he said, “40 Days for Life spends $800.00 on each participant in the 40 Days for Life Campaign.” If you multiply 1,500 participants by $800.00 that's $1.2 million. In 2009, they only reported taking in $400,000.00. Something smells fishy.

            Question: has the pro-life movement become a bottomless money pit? A modest salary would be okay, but $94,000.00 is ridiculous. If you need to charge people to cover your expenses, that's fine, but to make an outrageous salary like that is ludicrous.

            That’s why if all abortion came to an end today, there would be pro-lifers jumping off their buildings as they would be losing their salaries, their social status, their titles, etc. Unfortunately, raising money has become the pro-life movement’s main objective; they have lost their focus. Instead of prevention, they are there to perpetuate it.  
                                                                                                                                                                                                Another instance is taking claim to closing abortions mills, which is a great thing, but let’s give credit  where credit is due. God does indeed answer prayers, but there are other things that factor into the closing of a lot of child killing facilities, not just 40 Days. For instance, a lot of these abortion centers are losing federal funding and the struggling economy is also playing a part. Also, it’s not as easy to find abortionists anymore . Let’s face it,  It’s the red light district of medicine and that’s a stretch. Most real, reputable physicians don’t want to be associated with abortion or it’s industry. So, it’s making it harder to find skilled baby killers. Anytime we see another abortion clinic close it’s doors, it’s good; but to charge money to do what all Christians should be doing, for those without a voice... well, that’s just plain wrong.

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people eager for money have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief’s.

Keep the Casket…Open
by Angela Michael
August 2011
Listen to "Where is the Moral Outcry" © 2011
   
            History is repeating itself. Just as one hundred and fifty years ago our nation was torn apart over the issue of slavery, even so, today there is another great evil that divides the country…abortion. Back then, a whole race of Americans was viewed as inferior, less than human, chattel to be used at another’s whim and will; even so today, there is a group of Americans who are shamelessly treated as “things” to be owned, to be disposed of…unborn children. 

            The parallels continue: Back then, by a majority decision of 7-2 in the infamous Dred Scott case (which had it’s beginnings in St. Louis), the Supreme Court ruled against all those of African descent; even so, in 1973, by a majority of 7-2, the Supreme Court overturned the pro-life laws of all fifty states and declared that the humans in the womb were no better than slaves, living and dying at the discretion of another. Back then the compassionless cliché was, “Don’t want a slave? Don’t own one.”  Today we say, “Don’t like abortion? Don’t have one.”
            Sadly, it took a Civil War to bring the horrid institution of slavery to an end; a war fueled by the preaching of righteousness and the dissemination of the truth that “all” men are truly created equal. And today, another war is brewing and has begun as we and many stand in the gap, being witnesses of the atrocities, and proclaiming on the airwaves the reality of these horrid acts; and very soon we will have the opportunity to bring this message, this truth, into the living rooms of many. 

            This month is the 56th anniversary of a brutal, unthinkable act. Emmett Till was a young African-American boy from Chicago who was violently murdered in Mississippi while on vacation. His funeral service was to be closed casket because his face was so disfigured, but his mother insisted the casket be opened so that the world could see what had happened to her son.

            Over four days, thousands of people saw Emmett’s body. Many more African-Americans across the country, who might not have otherwise heard of the case, were shocked by the pictures of him. These pictures moved them in a way like nothing else had. Black preachers were demanding that “something be done in Mississippi now!”
            Showing what’s in the casket is exactly what we do outside these abortion mills…and we are hated for it. Our message: If the truth of what happens to a person through abortion is so horrible, then why are we allowing it to happen?
            At first, local whites as well as blacks were horrified by the crime. Newspapers and white officials reported that all “decent” people were disgusted with the murder and proclaimed that “justice would be done”. That same attitude from our leaders and churches needs to be embodied now. It needs to be preached from the pulpits and driven into the streets where battles are won. We have no more excuse for calling unborn children “non-human” today than our forefathers did for calling blacks “non-human” then.
            Elie Wiesel, survivor of the holocaust, wrote: “What harms the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.”
            In Emmett Till‘s mother, Mamie Bradley‘s words: “Two months ago I had a nice apartment in Chicago.  I had a good job. I had a son. When something happened to the Negroes in the South, I said, ‘That’s their business, not mine.’ Now I know how wrong I was. The murder of my son has shown me that what happens to any of us, anywhere in the world, had better be the business of us all.”
            We can no longer stand by and say, “It’s not our problem.” I ask you; are we not our brother’s keeper?  If the horrible “seen” injustice done to Emmett Till moved a nation to action, should not the unspeakable violence done to the most vulnerable Americans--the children in the womb--move “us” to action?

            “There must be a crisis of the conscience. Only after seeing abortion for what it really is will we understand the controversy and end this horrible injustice. We must never, never be silent on atrocities that we find disgusting to view.”

CHILDREN ARE DISPOSABLE

This article is written by Angela Michael, who is currently a candidate for congress from Illinois. Mrs. Michael and her husband Daniel faithfully sidewalk counsel at a mill 50 miles from their home, and have several hundred baby saves over the years.







Children are Disposable…

Inside and Outside of the Womb
Unbelievable! Stunned! Casey Anthony found Not Guilty
in the premeditated murder of her toddler.
July 5, 2011
Written By: Angela Michael




The Casey Anthonys of our world do this everyday inside abortion mills…are they any less guilty than she? This is the way society feels about children, born or unborn. If a woman can decide her child’s fate in the womb, she has full legal protection to decide it out of the womb, as the Casey Anthony trial has proven. The prosecution did an excellent job during the trial, and closing arguments were riveting. When the public was polled on her fate, most, if not all, responded guilty, and yet a group of her peers decided in ten hours that she did nothing wrong except tell some lies and was less than truthful to investigators.. Not even aggravated child abuse was she found guilty of. This just proves what we, the Church of Jesus Christ, have been witnessing and saying; we are a savage nation; we have been sowing bloodshed in the womb and reaping it in the streets. So, why wouldn’t a jury find her guilty of murdering her child when throughout the trial so much evidence said differently; i.e. the smell of a dead body in the car as reported by her own mother to police; Caylee was missing for over 30 days while her mother Casey was documented partying and getting tattoos celebrating her beautiful life and freedom; her narcissistic attitude; chloroform searches on the computer while her mother was at work; lie after lie; and no accountability. Caylee was an inconvenience just like most babies scheduled to die at the local abortion facilities; they are unwanted. This is how society and their parents view them. Abortion is so acceptable, why would manslaughter be any less?

Today, there is no justice for children, inside or outside of the womb. There was no justice for little Caylee Marie. Yes, our government and our nation has the biggest police forces and our courts have the best legal system, and yet they cannot protect or bring justice to those weakest among us...children and babies. Our nation’s hands are so full of innocent blood that apathy and complacency has taken over and righteousness stands at a distance. There is no accountability for the murderers who walk among us. The only commandment this nation can seem to keep is "Don't Judge," but Jesus said in John 7:24, “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." Understand, Caylee didn’t die a natural death, just like preborn babies at our abortion mills. She, like they, was murdered at the hands of the one most entrusted with her care and welfare: her mother. Outrage is pouring into the streets of Orlando, some saying, “We don’t want murderers walking our streets!" Good, maybe people will become so incensed that they will connect the dots between Abortion and Manslaughter. 2 Chronicles 19:6-7 "Consider carefully what you do because you are not judging for man but for the Lord, who is with you whenever you give a verdict. Judge carefully, for with the Lord our God, there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.”

“A society is ultimately judged by how it treats its weakest and most vulnerable members”
Where is the justice for Caylee and those yet to be born?
We are their voice, and that voice cries out for JUSTICE!
