• Or if you do not have access to the internet see the information that is on the American Life League Website listed below.

• It shows our ‘abortion protest’ takes place at Rocky River [Planned Parenthood] Health Center – 20800 Center Ridge Road, Suite 101 - Rocky River, Ohio 44116 [that “offers … abortion pill (medication abortion) up to 9 weeks after the start of your last menstrual period.” ]

• It shows what our pro-life groups do during our abortion protest: “We pray the 15 decade rosary and chaplet of divine mercy.”

The purpose of being listed on the [American Life League] ‘abortion protest map room’ is obvious:

• To be recognized by a National Pro Life Organization [American Life League] as a pair of organized and legitimate pro-life groups that are protesting and attempting to stop abortion in Rocky River. 

• [The City of Rocky River Government, Businesses, Churches or Schools have never ‘publicly or positively acknowledged our effort to protest and to stop abortion in Rocky River.]

• To show the City of Rocky River we are serious in our effort to stop abortion in Rocky River, Ohio … and we won’t stop until we do.  So help us God.

• To show that there are now two pro-life organizations working together to stop abortion in Rocky River, Ohio.  We plan to add another pro-life organization shortly to protest abortion in Rocky River as well.  

• To show a Rocky River [Planned Parenthood] Health Center operates in Rocky River, Ohio [Planned Parenthood does not even have a sign out front of the building advertising that they are in Rocky River.  I wonder why?  Perhaps Rocky River’s City Leaders know why?] 

The Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee is grateful for the support of The American Life League.  We hope to continue to work with The American Life League in the future - to finally stop abortion in Rocky River, Ohio.

• The Committee works with other Pro-Life Organizations and Individuals both locally, statewide and nationally to bring about an end to abortion in Rocky River, Ohio as well.  For their support I am grateful as well.

• The Committee will also send The American Life League our protest stories that take place at Rocky River [Planned Parenthood] Health Center.  Our stories [or mention of] may even appear in their American Life League Newsletter that comes out every Wednesday see [click here].

FRED SOKOL: A ROCKY RIVER, OHIO ABORTION PROTEST STORY.

Nineteen (19) Pro-Lifers Peacefully Converged at Rocky River [Planned Parenthood] Health Center Tuesday, [evening] December 09, 2008

• These nineteen (19) Pro-Lifers belonged to four (4) Pro-Life Organizations.  Representatives of [1] Prayer for Life [2] Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee [3] Graphic Abortion Sign Committee and [4] Knights of Columbus Brunswick Lodge #4847.  They peacefully Converged, Prayed, Protested and Educated in front of Rocky River [Planned Parenthood] Health Center that “offers the following services: . abortion pill (medication abortion) up to 9 weeks after the start of your last menstrual period.”  

• I was [the only Rocky River Resident] among all the Pro-Lifers in front of Rocky River [Planned Parenthood] Health Center that night of Tuesday, December 09, 2008.  

• Isn’t there anyone else in Rocky River that cares for the unborn baby?  Am I the ‘only one’ [that lives in Rocky River] crying in the desert saying, “protect and save the unborn baby from abortion and death in Rocky River?”

The Wet Wind Blew and Gusted, a Dark, Dreary Tuesday evening greeted us Pro-Lifers as we gathered from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm.

• We prayed the fifteen [15] decade Rosary and recited the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.  We prayed to God to grant Mercy and Forgiveness to the World for the sins committed against the Most Immaculate Heart of Mary and against the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.  We prayed to Jesus to protect and save the unborn.  We prayed for ourselves.  

• While we prayed, motorists screamed curses, told the Pro-lifers and myself to go home and also showed indecent immoral actions [clearly] to the innocent pro-lifers [and to their wives and to their children who came to pray their as well].   

• I was totally embarrassed and wondered who taught these motorists in Rocky River to be so mean?

This was the residents of Rocky River’s worst moment!  

• Oh Yah!  You people of Rocky River make sure you go to church on Christmas genuflect and kneel, make the sign of the cross and pray to the Christ Child.  

• While in your community there is a Rocky River [Planned Parenthood] Health Center that “offers the following services: . abortion pill (medication abortion) up to 9 weeks after the start of your last menstrual period.”  

Now, you cannot say that you didn’t know for it has now been broadcasted on a National Pro-Life [American Life League] that there is indeed abortion in Rocky River, Ohio. 

• Also there are good people who care to stop abortion in Rocky River, Ohio.  I also assure you that they are not going home until abortion does stop in Rocky River. 

Again, I greatly appreciate and thank The American Life League, Marie Hahnenberg [Researcher for American Life League], The Pro-Life Organizations and Individuals local, statewide and nationwide for their support in this most important effort to stop abortion in Rocky River, Ohio. 

• God Bless You All!  

PRAYER: Oh, Jesus grant this Christmas and everyday throughout the year the Hope, Love and Joy that You bring to those who choose to put God First and Themselves Last and who care more about others than themselves and I ask this through Your Name Oh, Jesus.  Amen!

MEDITATION: DEAR FACE OF GOD SHOW YOURSELF FOR YOUR UNWORTHY SERVANT CALLS.

Dear God, show Your Self and answer my question that is torturing me right now.

• Why do some people attempt to advance themselves both socially and economically at the expense of the abortion and death of another human being [their unborn baby]? 

• Why does the college student who gets pregnant at school come back home on Christmas Vacation to visit her family and friends … and while she is home [so she can go back to school without any additional expenses and responsibilities, so she can finish her studies, get a college diploma and land a six figure salary with a major corporation] … go to the local community abortion clinic and abort and kill her unborn baby?

• Why does the pregnant Mother of three (3) children who along with her husband that are planning a Winter Vacation out West in the Mountains [so she won’t be bloated, so she can eat and drink anything she wants on vacation, not be bothered with any possible medical complications because of a pregnancy while she vacations and has a good time] … go to the local community abortion clinic and abort and kill her unborn baby? 

• Why Dear God did a young lady march defiantly past a pro-life person [who was standing on the public sidewalk in front of an abortion clinic with a bloody graphic abortion sign] and marches to the abortion clinic so she can abort and kill her unborn baby?

• Is it selfishness on their part?  Is it that they do not believe in You Oh, God?  You know Oh God, You wrote the Law “Thou Shalt Not Kill”, and it is right there in the Bible so we all know for sure You do not want us to kill Your Creation … especially Your Creation that You Made in Your Own Image.

• Is it that they want total Freedom to do whatever they please?  For with Total Freedom means they will not be in need for direction.  That also means they know everything.  It means that they think they are gods as well with the power to know everything and also the power over life or death of others.

Finally, Dear God You Gently Remind Me, You have shown Your Self to the People. 

• You sent Your Prophets, You sent Your Ten Commandments, You sent Your Only Son, His Apostles, His Church, His Priests and His Religious. 

Now You Say Dear God You Are Sending Me and Others Who Listen To Your Word, Who listen to Your Ten Commandments, Who Listen to Your Only Son and Who Listen and Support His Church.  

• To tell your people of You Oh God, and about Your Love for them.

• Yes Dear God I will listen To You Oh, God.  How can I not?  If I am on top of the highest mountain You are there with me.  If I am at the bottom of the deepest ocean You are there with me.  If I am at the outer most part of Earth’s atmosphere with Space and Eternity above me You are there with me.   In the deepest darkest part of the night You are there with me.  In the noisiest, hectic and stressful part of the day You are there with me as well.    

• No matter where I am … You hold me fast never to let me go.  I never intend to let You go as well Oh, God. 

If people only understood the Love You have for all of us.  If people only understood that You will never let them go as well.  What a World we would have now!

• Where there once was hate … there would be love.

• Where there once was nothingness, hopelessness and loneliness … there would be faith and hope in You Oh God Who never leaves our side.

• Where there once was fear of life … there would be thankfulness and joy in our life … and there would be thankfulness and joy in the lives of others.

• Where Life is Hope … Not Where Life is a Punishment.

• Where there once was total freedom where we surely flounder and fail in our lives … there would be a kind and loving God directing us to true freedom in Him, in Heaven and in Eternity.

• Finally where there once was a ‘culture of death’ … there would be a ‘culture of life’ … where we will exude Faith, Hope and Charity in You Oh, God … and Faith, Hope and Charity in our fellow woman and man. 

• “ … Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, On Earth As It is in Heaven.”

I ask this Oh, God in Your Son Jesus Name, Amen!
