ROCKY RIVER - Fred Sokol, Chair - Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee acknowledges it is common knowledge among my pro-life friends and me.  Rocky River is coming apart at the seams over our display of graphic abortion signs in Rocky River.  How?

• Graphic Abortion Signs and Pro-Lifers displaying them … are increasing in Rocky River.

• A pro-lifer [?], denies Sokol an opportunity to march with his graphic abortion sign in a local July 4^th parade.

• A young mother rejects my graphic abortion sign – Sokol tells her the truth - she then leaves in a huff.

• A 'food fight like’ reaction [on June 30, 2009] to our displayed graphic abortion signs in Rocky River, Ohio. 

PRO-DEATH PEOPLE CANNOT STOP OUR GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGN DISPLAY IN ROCKY RIVER [EXAMPLES GIVEN].

• Even though pro-death people continue to try to 'peel us away' from our display of graphic abortion signs ... in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] 20800 Center Ridge Road that offers ... “Abortion pill (medication abortion) … up to 9 weeks after the start of your last menstrual period.” Tuesday Evenings 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm and Saturday Mornings 10:00 am to 11:30 am.

• The pro-death crowd knows they are fighting a losing battle in stopping us from displaying graphic abortion signs.  The items I listed above and listed in detail below will prove that. 

GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGNS AND PRO-LIFERS DISPLAYING THEM … ARE INCREASING IN ROCKY RIVER. 

• Clearly a pro-life vs. pro-death rumpus is now taking place in Rocky River.  As pro-life efforts continue to add additional fronts in our effort to stop abortion in Rocky River.

• Additional graphic abortion signs displayed and the additional volunteers that display them is just one of these fronts I am referring to.  Yet alone the display of graphic abortion signs is driving the pro-death people in Rocky River crazy on its own merit.  It is bad news for the pro-death people all around.  

• As the pro-death people in Rocky River are coming apart at the seams, and do not know what to do about stopping us from displaying the graphic abortion signs.   

• The pro-death people in Rocky River also see that pro-lifers are increasing in number.  They also see an increase in the display of graphic abortion signs in Rocky River … and that is what is really driving them crazy. 

• Once pro-lifers just stood in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] located at 20800 Center Ridge Road. 

• Now pro-lifers display graphic abortion signs across the street facing Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] as well.  

• We are just getting started in the display of graphic abortion signs and in stopping abortion in Rocky River.  There is more to come and even more gruesome graphic abortion signs to be displayed.

• You see my friend it took me 8 years to stop a jail in Rocky River.  So time is not important to me as I stopped the jail in Rocky River on many fronts and of course it took time.  Yet what is important now, is that I stop abortion in Rocky River. 

• That said, with “determined staying power”, methodical pro-life teamwork, working on many fronts and a constant ‘eye set on our goal’ [stopping abortion in Rocky River].   

• I know we will stop abortion in Rocky River as we stopped the jail in Rocky River as well. 

• The display of graphic abortion signs in Rocky River will be one of the many fronts that we will use to attain our goal in stopping abortion in Rocky River.

A PRO-LIFER [?], DENIES SOKOL AN OPPORTUNITY TO MARCH WITH HIS GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGN IN A LOCAL JULY 4^TH PARADE.

• Even pro-lifers are trying to stop us from displaying graphic abortion signs.

• Recently someone from the pro-life community asked me if I would march in a July 4th parade with their pro-life group.

• I said, "I would like to march with your pro-life group if I can march with my graphic abortion sign."  

• The pro-lifer also a member of the pro-life group marching in this said July 4th parade dryly told me, "We [meaning the pro-life marching group] do not allow graphic abortion signs in our group when we march in parades."

• FRED SOKOL RESPONDS TO THE PRO-LIFER'S REJECTION OF THE GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGN

• I kindly looked at the pro-lifer and said, "The graphic abortion sign is truth.  Jesus is Truth.  You deny truth in your pro-life group ... your group is not of Jesus." 

• Then I suggested to the pro-lifer, "Pray to Jesus and ask Him if He wants the truth of the graphic abortion sign shown."

• I got no response from the pro-lifer [?] as the person walked away.

A YOUNG MOTHER REJECTS THE GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGN – SOKOL TELLS HER THE TRUTH - SHE THEN LEAVES IN A HUFF

• As I was displaying my graphic abortion signs on Saturday Morning June 27, 2009 in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood].  A woman approached me and told me of the gross graphic abortion signs I displayed.

• She also complained that she had a 5 year old ... and how could she show and explain to a 5 year old those graphic abortion pictures? 

• FRED SOKOL RESPONDS TO THE YOUNG MOTHER'S REJECTION OF THE GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGN

• I patiently listened to her.  After she was finished speaking I smiled at her and answered her calmly and clearly, "These pictures are Truth about Abortion which is happening now in America.  So go ahead and show the 5 year old the graphic abortion picture.  The 5 year olds of today will one day in the future consider abortion.  Perhaps if they remember the horror of this graphic abortion sign, they may not have an abortion in the future.  So I see nothing wrong in showing your child these pictures.  They are the Truth."

• She then huffed and stormed off in disgust back to her car as she said, "Well next week I am coming back to show you graphic dead soldier's pictures." [Note: She never did.]  Then I said back to her in a calm and loving way, "Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life.  These graphic abortion signs are Truth and they are of Jesus as well."  Then I finally said to her, "May God Bless You and have a nice day." 

A 'FOOD FIGHT LIKE’ REACTION [ON JUNE 30, 2009] TO OUR DISPLAYED GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGNS IN ROCKY RIVER, OHIO

• ROCKY RIVER - Fred Sokol, Chair - Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee describes Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - Pro-Life Rosary Praying and Graphic Abortion Sign Display [in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] 20800 Center Ridge Road that offers ... “Abortion pill (medication abortion) … up to 9 weeks after the start of your last menstrual period.” ] as a Food Fight in Rocky River.

• I ask you friends, to envision a peaceful and docile rosary group praying yet staring forward in utter amazement at their four pro-life counterparts across the street from them ... displaying graphic abortion signs.  The graphic abortion signs displayed are also on the cutting edge of the pro-life graphic abortion sign display movement. 

• “To say the least the displayed graphic abortion signs shown in Rocky River that night were extremely gruesome, disgusting and unforgettable.  Yet rest assured there are many more graphic abortion signs even more gruesome available to us to use as well.  We are just getting warmed up in Rocky River”, says Sokol.  

• [Warning Graphic Content] The signs we displayed that night showed 1st Trimester, 2nd Trimester and 3rd Trimester aborted, dismembered and decapitated unborn babies and in color to the passing motorists, restaurant goers, businesses and their patrons along Center Ridge Road.

• Yet that is just the setting for the pro-life vs. pro-death "food fight" that took place right after the pro-life members started to display their 'graphic abortion signs' on the border of Rocky River and Fairview Park.

• PRO-LIFE VS. PRO-DEATH FOOD FIGHT

• Motorists, Police and an Area Employee all reacted to the pro-lifers graphic abortion sign display in their own positive and negative way. 

• Clearly showing to me that graphic abortion signs once people see them if they like them or not … will know what abortion really looks like.  For others, it will force them to react in either a positive or negative way.  While for others, it will turn them away from aborting and killing their own unborn babies.

• Our graphic abortion sign display on Tuesday evening clearly educated the public on the horror of abortion and forced the public to react … and react they did.  As I said earlier, it was a pro-life vs. pro-death food fight.

• MOTORISTS

• Motorists were very vocal both pro and con Tuesday Night.  They were supportive, antagonistic and crude. 

• Pro-death motorists tried in vain to goad pro-lifers on both sides of the street to act up while sometimes I viewed Rocky River police cars nearby the antagonistic motorists.  [I assumed the police were there to protect us.]  Pro-death motorists also cursed, made obscene gestures and screamed at us. 

• A pro-life motorist and a kind lady parked her car near us.  She then walked up to each one of us pro-lifers and individually congratulated us for the pro-life work we were doing in Rocky River.

• POLICE - ROCKY RIVER - FAIRVIEW PARK - WESTLAKE - WHY?

• Rocky River Police Cars along with a Fairview Park Police Car and Westlake Police Car appeared by the pro-lifers and their graphic abortion sign display on Tuesday night in the Rocky River Area in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] on Tuesday night. 

• Why a Fairview Park and a Westlake Police Car in the Rocky River Area in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] on Tuesday night? 

• AN AREA EMPLOYEE TRIES TO 'SHOO-AWAY' PRO-LIFERS DISPLAYING GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGNS AND THE EMPLOYEE GETS 'SHOOED-AWAY'.

• An employee came out of his place of employment Tuesday night and angrily approached the pro-lifers who displayed the graphic abortion signs.  Then with a gesture of his arms and his hands, like an older woman trying to shoo away pigeons on a sidewalk. 

• The employee tried his best to shoo away the determined pro-lifers who ignored the employee and continued to display their graphic abortion signs to the passing motorists. 

• Seeing that the shooing failed to work, the employee then tried hollering at the pro-lifers displaying the graphic abortion signs.  That didn't work either.  The employee then stormed away in disgust.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO MY FRIEND, IF JESUS ASKED YOU … ?

• What would you do my friend if Jesus asked you to display a graphic abortion sign to save an unborn baby’s life?

• What would you do my friend, if Jesus asked you to stand up for the unborn baby? 

• What would you do my friend, if Jesus asked you to try to save the unborn baby from abortion and death?

• Jesus and the life of the unborn baby is above the Rocky River, Fairview Park, Westlake Police, Rocky River Motorists, an Area Employee and a Food Fight in Rocky River. 

IN CLOSING

• That is why the Truth of the graphic abortion sign and the Truth of Jesus must never be put under a bushel basket ... but be shown in the clear light of day to all who accepts the Truth. 

FINALLY

• As we continue to run full throttle for Life and for Christ in Rocky River.  We will not count the cost of our mission.  Rather we will continue to focus on the mission and its completion.  That is to stop abortion in Rocky River, Amen.

• I also say God Bless and thanks to pro-life people who "Witness to the Truth" to the general public of the horror of abortion with riveting and truthful graphic abortion sign display.

• Rocky River owes you gratitude and thanks for opening up and laying bear their hearts, minds and souls to the truth of abortion of the unborn. 

- Fred Sokol 

PRAYER:  May God continue to protect us, encourage us and make our pro-life ministry effective to turn hearts, minds and souls away from abortion with our display of graphic abortion signs, I ask this in Jesus Name, Amen.
