We had 9 people there and covered every corner and entrance of the Century Link center with the aborted baby signs and the “Buffett’s billions kill millions” signs. Joe Ferrante and Sam were hassled by some security guards when we first arrived telling them they would have to stand across the street, but then the Century Link people told us we had a right to stand on the property. They made Sam sign some kind of paper but let him stay at the same spot in front of the building.

Maris Bentley said she had some good conversations with people walking by and handed out a lot of the literature about Buffett’s funding of abortion. Next year I will make more copies. Many people told us the same old comments we usually hear like “get a job” and “get a life”. Most of the people that walked by my aborted baby sign looked at it. The police did not bother us except when we tried to load the signs in Dave’s truck in front of the building. They told us we must walk to a loading zone which we did.

Thanks to Dave Zebolsky for bringing his truck so we could load the signs in it. Thanks to Nebraskans United for Life for buying the signs.

Hopefully, some of the Buffett shareholders will have a change of heart about the abortion issue. It was a very successful picket, and I hope we can get more people to participate next year.

Again thanks to all who came and God bless you.

Madison, WI – Planned Parenthood announced last week that it would stop dispensing abortion pills at all of its Wisconsin locations after Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill into law banning the dangerous drugs without the presence of a license physician. This law virtually bans the practice of telemed, or webcam abortions.

Medication abortions account for about 25% of all abortions in Wisconsin.

“This new law will certainly save lives and we thank the Wisconsin Legislature and Gov. Walker for acting to protect women from predatory webcam abortion practices that attempt to increase abortion profits by cutting corners on women’s health and safety,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation.

“This has been a textbook example of how activism encourages legislation. Once we discovered the webcam abortions in Iowa, we worked with other organizations to create legislation. That legislation has been picked up by other groups and guided through the legislative process. The result is positive change and increased protections for women that will result in fewer abortions.”

Operation Rescue first uncovered the experimental abortion pill distribution scheme that was being conducted by Planned Parenthood of the Heartland in Iowa, and reported on it in March, 2010, then exposed plans by Planned Parenthood Federation of America to expand the scheme into every one of their clinics nationwide.

Since then several states have worked to prevent the expansion of the dangerous abortion process. Wisconsin joins Arizona, Nebraska, Kansas, and South Dakota in banning webcam abortions. North Dakota and Oklahoma have also passed webcam bans that are currently in the process of litigation.

Elsewhere, a ban on webcam abortions passed its final hurdle in the Minnesota Legislature last Wednesday, and now heads to the desk of Gov. Mark Dayton, a pro-abortion Democrat. It is unknown whether he intends to sign the bill or exercise his veto.

The following day, another webcam abortion ban overwhelmingly passed the Missouri House with a vote of 109-24. It now moves on to the Senate.

Webcam bans have also been introduced during the current legislative session in Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion organization that tracks abortion trends. In addition, Rep. Steve King of Iowa is seeking federal legislation to stop webcam abortions.

During the webcam abortion process, the abortionist conducts a brief interview with a potential abortion patient in another location over an Internet video conferencing connection. The abortionist then pushes a button on his or her computer screen that releases a “cash drawer” containing the abortion drugs. The woman self-administers some of the drugs immediately and is then released to take the rest of the drugs at home. The patient is never examined by a licensed physician, and in the case of an emergency, there is no accessibility to the prescribing abortionist. The process violates FDA safety protocols on numerous points.

The abortion pill, known as RU486, Mifepristone, or Mifeprex, is responsible for at least 16 patient deaths and thousands of abortion complications. When the pills fail, a surgical abortion can be necessary to save the woman’s life from infection caused by retained fetal tissue.

“There can be no doubt that halting the misuse of abortion drugs will save the lives of women and their babies. Because of this we are working to halt the practice of telemed abortions nationwide,” said Newman.

March 3, 2012–Des Moines, Iowa–Please join us for the annual Prayer for Life event on Monday, March 5, 2012. The day begins at 9:30AM at Maple Street Missionary Baptist Church (1552 Maple Street, Des Moines, Iowa). The Prayer for Life event is a local commemoration of the devastating Supreme Court ruling Roe vs. Wade that legalized abortion in our country.

The keynote speaker is Rev. Walter Hoye II. Rev. Hoye is the Founder and President of Issues4Life and he travels full-time around the country and the world to convey a unique Pro-Life message only he can share. He is a widely requested speaker who addresses the Pro-Life movement with special emphasis on the impact of abortion in black America, Personhood and the role of men meeting the physical and spiritual needs of women. As a national black Pro-Life leader, Walter speaks for those who have no voice, understands that abortion takes the life of a child-an innocent human being, views the woman and child as one, and demands that men embrace their biblical roles as protector and provider.

In addition to Rev. Hoye, we will have a panel discussion with local pro-life leaders and legislative advocates will provide training on lobbying. Lunch will be provided. Participants will be dismissed to the Iowa State Capitol Rotunda at 1PM where they will lobby their legislators on pro-life issues. Various pro-life organizations will have informational booths surrounding the rotunda and we will have a rally at 3PM where Rev. Hoye will provide a keynote address.

An RSVP is requested to 515.255.4113 or iowansforlife@msn.com

This event is being sponsored by Maple Street Missionary Baptist Church, Iowans for LIFE, Iowa Right to Life, Catholic Charities, Iowa Catholic Conference, Council of Catholic Women, Knights of Columbus, The Family Leader, Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition and Teen Pact.

First, he appointed two radical, pro-abortion judges to lifetime seats on the Supreme Court. Then, in blatant political payoff to his radical pro-abortion base, he dismantled commonsense protections for the unborn with his signature anti-life healthcare law.

Now he is trying to force a new abortion mandate and an abortion-inducing drug mandate on all Americans — regardless of their personal beliefs. We must fight back.

Follow this link to make an immediate donation of $50, $100, $250 or more, and help us fight back against this Administration’s war on conscience rights.

The Administration says this issue is about “contraception.” But that’s a con — it’s about your conscience rights as a pro-life American . . . it’s all about forcing you to pay for abortion-causing drugs. This is just another public relations bait-and-switch tactic with the American people and we’re not fooled for a minute.

Americans United for Life has just released a new educational video, The Con, to help people understand the manipulative and deceptive policies in the pending “healthcare” law that are shredding your conscience rights. We are activating pro-life supporters to deploy a heavy-hitting campaign against this Administration’s pro-abortion tactics. But we urgently need your help and we need it right now.

The war on conscience rights has begun. Will you help us fight back today?

Very encouraging to all of us who are out there week in and week out.

Fr. Michael will be out there every Wednesday during Lent and after that he is looking for priests to help him to take turns to come out every first Wednesday of the month.
On Wednesday is when Nicola Louise Moore is killing our future brothers and sisters.

So please come out and join us. This is a great opportunity for penance, even when the weather is great. =) God has been so good to us these Winter months.

For Life in Christ
