For Immediate Release

ROCKY RIVER – Fred Sokol, Chair – Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee says, “The Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee preaches what Pope John Paul II in 1995 called ‘The Gospel of Life’ as we display our graphic abortion signs and pray.  Across the street from Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] abortion mill and gate of hell – that’s located at 20800 Center Ridge Road that offers ... “Abortion pill (medication abortion) … up to 9 weeks after the start of your last menstrual period.” 

POPE JOHN PAUL II, “EVANGELIUM VITAE” [THE GOSPEL OF LIFE] - A MESSAGE FOR THE PEOPLE OF ROCKY RIVER, OHIO - AND FOR THE WORLD.

It was [past], Roman Catholic Pope John Paul II in 1995, who wrote the following.  “1. The Gospel of life is at the heart of Jesus’ message.  Lovingly received day after day by the Church, it is to be preached with dauntless fidelity as “good news” to the people of every age and culture.”  (Pope John Paul II Evangelium vitae [The Gospel of Life] March 25, 1995)

WHAT DOES ‘THE GOSPEL OF LIFE’ SAY TO ME

1.    In my everyday language, Roman Catholic Pope John Paul II past Bishop of Rome, who, in virtue of his position as successor of St. Peter, [who in turn was appointed by Jesus Christ Himself to lead His Church].  Was the chief pastor of the whole Church, the Vicar of Christ upon earth, and former leader of the Roman Catholic Church, said to me, to all the people of Rocky River and to the World in his “Gospel of Life”.  

2.    We who see ourselves as the “Church of Christ” [Christians] “The Gospel of Life” calls us to go out and to preach about and to stand up for life [both born and unborn] to be respected and protected.  We must also share this message in a loving, fearless and committed way to people throughout the world. 

3.    The message [The Gospel of Life] is also the ‘major headline of good news’ for the day and for everyday for all the people of the World, to read, understand, embrace, and to act on.  No matter if you are Christian or not.

4.    Also, that message [The Gospel of Life] is what Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior, the Second Person in the Blessed Trinity wants each and everyone of us to know and to fearlessly commit to and to act on, everyday of our lives.    

5.    All Praise To You Oh Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.  

MY PRAISE FOR THOSE WHO SUPPORT OUR GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGN DISPLAY, PRAYER AND THE GOSPEL OF LIFE

My praise to pro-lifers Phil, Mike, Doug and others who fearlessly and faithfully preach ‘The Gospel of Life’ to stop abortion in Rocky River by displaying graphic abortion signs and praying like Pope John Paul II and Jesus Christ calls us all to do - in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood]. “Prayer is helplessness casting itself on Power, infirmity leaning on Strength, misery reaching to Mercy, and a prisoner clamoring for Relief.” – Fulton J Sheen

GOD IN HIS HEAVENS, BLESSES THOSE THAT ARE UNABLE BUT WANT TO SUPPORT OUR GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGN DISPLAY, PRAYER AND THE GOSPEL OF LIFE

God blesses those who are unable, but want to come and fearlessly and faithfully preach ‘The Gospel of Life’ to stop abortion in Rocky River. By displaying graphic abortion signs and praying like Pope John Paul II and Jesus Christ calls us all to do.  In front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] - speaks louder to God and blessed by God.  Yet Oh Woe are you, who know, who are able, and who refuse to stand and to pray for the unborn baby in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood].

MY PITY AND MY PRAYERS FOR THOSE WHO OPPOSE OUR GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGN DISPLAY, OUR PRAYER AND THE GOSPEL OF LIFE

My pity and my prayers to those [who are pro-life and who are pro-death] who oppose us pro-lifers.  As we fearlessly and faithfully preach ‘The Gospel of Life’ to stop abortion in Rocky River by our displaying graphic abortion signs and praying like Pope John Paul II and Jesus Christ calls us all to do – in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood].  Oh God, Have Mercy On Us All.

THE FOLLOWING ARE FOUR [4] WHO CHALLENGED US. TUESDAY NIGHT MAY 18, 2010 ACROSS THE STREET FROM ROCKY RIVER HEALTH CENTER [PLANNED PARENTHOOD] AS MIKE AND I DISPLAYED GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGNS.  GOD BLESS YOU MIKE FOR YOUR COURAGE THAT NIGHT.

1.    A man came up to me and said, the business behind us should not have to see the graphic abortion signs you display [my signs only point to the traffic that goes east and west on Center Ridge Road].  I told him do you know why we pro-lifers are standing here?   He responded saying I know Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] is across the street.  I then told him Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] was here first before the business that is behind us was. Then he told me that Jesus would not approve of you displaying graphic abortion signs to the public.  I told him, “Jesus asked me to display graphic abortion signs to the public to stop abortion.”  Then he said, “I don’t think so.”  I told him one day you will know for sure.  Then he finally told me, that I should be ashamed of displaying these graphic abortion signs to people.  I quickly responded back to him, in my ‘righteous anger’ “You and America should be ashamed of the 52 million unborn babies aborted, murdered and cut to pieces in their mother’s womb while you do nothing to stop it.”  Who are these pro-abort amateurs anyway?

2.    Then a young man stood at a distance from me looking at my graphic abortion signs specifically the one graphic abortion sign that showed Jewish Victims of Hitler’s Holocaust while at the bottom of the sign showing Baby Malachi with the heading over the picture that reads, “America’s Holocaust”.   He then spoke to me from a distance, as I could not hear him. I motioned for him to come closer so I could hear him better.  Yet I still could not hear him.  I then motioned him to come closer telling him that I do not bite.  In other words, do not be afraid to talk to me.  He then walked up to me to say to me, “Does it make you happy to show dead Jews.”  I answered him by giving him my name and telling him, I am pro-life.  That means I am not happy to see any dead person.  I then told him that our Country is becoming more like Nazi Germany.  He scoffed at that.  Then I told him that in 1934 or in 1935, the Health Court of Nazi Germany allowed abortion yet for only the health of the mother.  I told him where is that a law now - but in America.  Then I told him I bet you think our Country is over-populated and we need to do something about that?  Yet do you know that you could put all the people of the United States into the State of Texas.  He agreed to that.  Then he said when it comes to abortion the unborn baby is only a tiny thing.  Then I said, “When I was your age and you appear to be 19 or 20 years old.   That I thought the same thing and that the World was overpopulated and the aborted unborn baby was just a tiny little thing as well.  Then I got smart and did research on my own and found out that there is no such thing as overpopulation and unborn babies could go to full term and aborted.  Similar to this baby [Baby Malachi] displayed on my graphic abortion sign.   Also the abortion this baby [Baby Malachi] went through was a dilation and extraction abortion the most common surgery in America today.  He appeared not to believe me on that point.  I told him to look it up on the internet.  Since, I would like to clarify here that it is all abortions are the most common surgery in America today.  I then gave him a copy of my pro-life flyer and encouraged him to read more about abortion on my website www.stopabortioninrockyriver.com .  Then he left.

3.    Then a young mother approached me from the parking lot of the business that was directly behind me.  She was with her husband and four-year old son.  She said to me, “I have a four year old son and how can I explain to him about your display of graphic abortion signs?  I told her, why don’t you just tell him the truth.  Tell him he lives in a Country that has legally killed up to 52 million unborn babies so far.  She told me that she could not do that.  Then I asked her, how many children do you have?  She said, “I have one child.”   I told her looking straight at her, “I raised three children and I realized I could not protect them from the World and neither can you protect your son from the world.”

4.    Then finally, a gang of punks in a car sped through the parking lot of the business that was behind us.  They were screaming out the open windows of their car saying, “Kill the Babies.”, “Kill the Babies.”, “Kill the Babies.”, Kill the Babies.”  Then they drove their car onto the Rocky River side of Center Ridge Road heading west and screamed obscenities at me as I stood displaying my graphic abortion signs.  I then said to them in my ‘Righteous Anger’, “Open your heart to Jesus”, “Open your heart to Jesus.”  Then the driver of the punk car that was screaming “Kill the Babies.” Stuck his head out the car window and looked at me and screamed, “F__k You.”  Then I felt Jesus inside of me, tell me, “Thank You Fred for speaking up for Me and asking those kids to open their hearts to Me Their Jesus.  You know Fred do not feel bad that you were ‘cursed at’ for asking others to open their hearts to Me Their Jesus.  For I was crucified and died on a Cross, for asking others to open their hearts to My Father in Heaven.  Just pray for them.”
