For Immediate Release:

ROCKY RIVER – Fred Sokol, Chair – Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee presents a video [found on ‘You Tube’] showing a person protesting against my Committee’s ‘graphic abortion sign’ display, on Tuesday evening October 20, 2009.   

As we stood about half a block east of them [on the Fairview Park side of Center Ridge Road] as we stood 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.”   

FIRST, READ BELOW WHAT SOME OF THE MAJOR PRO-LIFE ORGANIZATIONS SAY ABOUT THEIR SUPPORT OF DISPLAYING ‘GRAPHIC ABORTION IMAGES AND SIGNS’ TO STOP ABORTION.  [BEFORE YOU SEE WHAT THE PROTESTOR HAD TO SAY AGAINST OUR DISPLAY OF GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGNS.]   

Priests For Life  

“There is no excuse under the sun for keeping secret what is the most common surgery in America today, and at the same time the most divisive social problem. As Father Pavone of Priests for Life wrote in its July newsletter, "We will not solve the controversy over abortion in this country until more people see what it looks like."  [Catholic Times – Lansing, Michigan – July 21, 2001 – “Priests For Life” - by Bishop Kenneth J. Povish – Priests For Life Website]

Pro-Life Action League

“We raise awareness of the injustice of abortion through marches, pickets, prayer vigils and especially Face the Truth Tours, during which we hold large abortion pictures on busy streets to show what abortion does to the unborn child.” [Joe Scheidler – National Director, Pro-Life Action League Website]

Center For Bio-Ethical Reform

“Abortion will continue to be trivialized as "the lesser of two evils," or as "a necessary evil," so long as it is allowed to remain an invisible abstraction. Pictures make it impossible for anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty to maintain the pretense that "it's not a baby" and "abortion is not an act of violence." Unfortunately, virtually every TV station, newspaper, and magazine in America blanketly refuses to show this country what abortion actually does. As such, CBR has poured great energies into finding ways around these media gatekeepers. The American roadway has become our chief venue, and though we are not popular, we are effective. CBR is not out to win a PR battle, but we are out to change the way people perceive abortion. We want America to be very bothered by this massive and hidden injustice, even if we are hated in the process.” [The Reproductive “Choice” Campaign – The Center For Bio-Ethical Reform Website]

THAT SAID, WHY IS THERE A PROTEST AGAINST THE DISPLAY OF ‘GRAPHIC ABORTION SIGNS’ IN ROCKY RIVER AND IN FAIRVIEW PARK?

Why is this person protesting against us … because we inform the public of the horror of abortion … with our display of graphic abortion signs? 

Why is this person protesting against us … because we try to turn people away from aborting and killing their unborn child … with our display of graphic abortion signs? 

Why is this person protesting against us … because we try to save the unborn baby’s life … with our display of graphic abortion signs? 

See the ‘you tube’ video [below] and you decide.  

Pay attention to the answer the protestor gives when she is asked … “Are you pro-life?”

IN CLOSING

The ‘protest viewed above’ in my opinion shows that our display of graphic abortion signs in Rocky River - along with God’s Help – has brought about an effective ‘anti-abortion awareness’ in Rocky River, Ohio.  

To [1.] show the horror of abortion [2.] that leads people to turn away from aborting and killing their unborn child [3.] that ultimately leads to saving the life of the unborn baby … from abortion and death.   

I also again thank Patrick [ConservativeAtheist] a fellow pro-lifer … for downloading the above video unto ‘You Tube’.  So you the public can see how people respond “still in another way” to my Committee’s graphic abortion sign display.

The Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee also calls out to those who oppose our effort [graphic abortion sign display] to stop abortion in Rocky River, Ohio. 

We invite you to approach [yes we are approachable] us to discuss your concerns regarding our display of graphic abortion signs.  Also if you wish, my Committee Members and I will respectfully share with you our reasons why we are displaying graphic abortion signs.   

FINALLY

“To see abortion [graphic abortion signs] is to stop abortion.  Yet there are people who do not want others to see the truth.  I pray for them.”

– Fred Sokol

MEDITATION:

You were told before … that you had a problem … that’s all. 

You were told before … that you were to just take care of it … that’s all. 

You were told before … that the problem was just a clump of cells … that’s all.

You were told before … that you were just terminating a pregnancy … that’s all.    

Who told you that you killed your child by abortion? 

Who told you that it was a child?

Who told you that you killed it?

Who told you that you can be forgiven?

Who told you?

For you Satan upon your belly you will continue to crawl in dirt.  For you Satan, are the father of lies, deceit, cowardice, despair and murder.  For that, you will continue to be blinded by evil … and in evil and in dirt you shall always remain. 

For God’s Son Jesus Christ defeated your lies, deceit, cowardice, despair and murder when He lived, suffered, died, rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven … for all of Mankind. 

Also All Glory and Praise to Our Blessed Mother Mary Who Bore Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior … Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria.

- Fred Sokol

PRAYER:

By God’s Son Jesus Christ’s “Way, Truth and Life” … Mankind also walks and defeats Satan’s lies, deceit, cowardice and murder.  Though we have fallen in the past Jesus Christ Our Savior and Lord … will one day lead us home to Him in Heaven for Eternity … I ask this in Jesus Name, Amen.
