Capitol Area Reports

"Where you lead, I will follow," said Ruth to Naomi and Pat Mahoney to the camera crew. Back in early May, Mahoney's "Christian Defense Coalition" announced it would be starting a legal defense fund for Paula Jones (Washington Times, May 13, 1994). Nothing more has been reported since then. Additional gadfly "resistance" action of the past two years has included sit-ins in front of Ted Kennedy's office, prolife trips to the Olympics in Norway, and most recently the damning of Robertson's Christian Coalition while a guest on local radio (WAVA in Arlington, VA) for its support of "pro-abortion" politicians. (How shall we define a "pro-abortion" politician? One who refuses the rape and incest exclusions? How about one who supports FACE-type legislation? How about one who opposes the citizen's right to direct action to save the child, such as blockades, door gluing, demolitions, terminations, etc.? Politicians necessarily make compromises. We use the term "prolife" loosely when we refer to politicians.) Pat's berating of CC served no apparent purpose in the designated discussion - "Which way the prolife movement?" - but the advancement of his own CDC interests at the expense of others.

When Mahoney ran for President in 1992 many of his OR associates were amused. Some, like R. Terry and J. Slovenic, also had great expectations (or were stricken with grand illusions?), announcing their runs or intentions of running for Congress or even the U.S. Senate. I can't fault my friend for having high hopes and acting upon them. We Christians have reason to be optimistic. Didn't Lech Walesa - leader of outlawed Solidarity - become President of Poland? I just couldn't have voted for my friend Pat. A pacifist who opposes capital punishment just wouldn't serve well as the ruler of the nation - or even a hamlet. Justice requires the execution of capital offenders just as it requires the protection of the innocent. President Pat would not seek justice.

It seems to me difficult enough to maintain a "prolife" view of the unborn while denying citizens the right to protect him (forceful or otherwise). It is particularly appalling to hear an alleged defender of the unborn publicly denounce Christians who have paid the highest price to rescue the innocent - as they have in Florida and Kansas.

There are good local activist organizations in Maryland and Virginia. Jack Ames in Baltimore, Kip Gannett in Bowie, Jack Humphries in Manassas, Dave Crane in Norfolk, and others have demonstrated faithfulness and perseverance over the years. We commend them to you for your support.

Northern Virginia
* Jack Humphries - Released after a refreshing several weeks in jail, is conspiring with other Christians to continue to speak the truth outside abortuaries. Take the opportunity to join with him and other Christians in speaking the truth while it is still legal. Project Life - NOVA Newsletter, P.O. Box 523238, Springfield, VA 22152.

* Jesus House Ministries - Anti-abortion activist Dave Henderson also distributes food in D.C. and preaches the gospel in word (slogans all over his van) along with deed. Work van was recently vandalized by violent aborts, and/or sodomites (Washington Times, June 28). No word yet on prosecution of anti-Christian "hate crime." Support JH Ministries at 4122 Village Court, Annandale, VA 22003.

Pasadena, Maryland
Gynecare Medical Clinic, an abortuary located in Patriots Plaza, has moved on. Business had been rough the past four or five years because of the consistent presence of Christians at the site. A reduction in clientele size had been witnessed by those picketing outside. On July 15 the abortionists packed up and moved to 650 Ritchie Hwy. in Severna Park. Upon arrival at their new location to unload their equipment, the flesh traders were met by the familiar faces of loving, protesting Christians. Cheryl Richardson of Glen Burnie reports that on August 18 the local Citizens for Life delivered written notice to all the businesses in the building where Gynecare had relocated informing them of the type of deathlihood their new neighbors were practicing. CFL urged the businesses to contact their leasing agents to demand the eviction of Gynecare. It also announced its intention to organize boycotts.

Donald Spitz
Was featured on several pages of the Virginian-Pilot (August 19) in Norfolk following the termination of the abortionists in Pensacola. He and David Crane reiterated their position expressed in the Defensive Action statement. Spitz was reviled to the press by Flip over a pay phone. As the Virginian put it, "Mention Donald Spitz and Operation Rescue National Director Flip Benham flies into a rage." Flip shouts, "He's no leader of any group. He's a Paul Hill kind of guy... dangerous... loose cannon... enemy of the cross... What can you do when the media allows a guy to spew heresy?...xSpitz needs to shut his mouth...If there was any way I could get a hold of Donald Spitz and wring his neck, I would do it."

Now, now, now. Sounds like a spirit of murder to me. I remember a few years ago when Randall Terry came to town to yell and prophesy against the NOWists who were gathering for a celebration of some sort. We housed about four men from Virginia whom I met for the first time. Don Spitz was one of them who, with about ten others, composed Randall's retinue. OR is not all that far from so-called "loose cannons." The shoe fits. Wear it well.

D.C. Wet Lands
Before its development, wasn't D.C. a swamp? -uh, I mean - wet land? Well, so be it. Let the government reckon it as such and tear down the buildings.

A Little National News...

for the radical fringe

And another one bites the dust.
Well, there certainly has been a lot of news out there to keep you fringies happy. And we ought to charge you extra for all the luscious stuff in this issue. But just to keep you hanging on and lusting for more news, we're not going to tell you everything we know. You'll just have to wait. But we promise to tell you of any conspiratorial goodies that we declassify before we tell the FBI. So relax. Until then, they'll have to pull our nails out or afflict us with some other Waconian measures before we cough up our secrets

. From the Depths of the Underground (where even Tank Lady Reno dare not tread) - We have heard that Executive Security Devices of Sparks, Maryland has sent brochures to many abortuaries in hopes of doing business. The wares they would sell the abortionists are a bit unusual. The ad reads: Executive Security Devices is pleased to offer to qualified members of the medical community the same protective body armor we've made available to corporate officials, business leaders, and diplomats. Constructed of Kevlar 129, this material is unsurpassed in its bullet stopping ability. Griffin, Shannon, and Hill - stimulating the economy.

Community Service in Denver -
Part of Al Morley's punishment for aspersing a little of that putrid-smelling butyric acid upon a local abortuary was 100 hours of community service. Al was given three places to visit to see if they needed help: a CPC, a center for battered women and children, and a service for people with Downs syndrome. All three rejected Al's help because of the nature of his "offense." Persevering Al went to a fourth location and was received heartily. Said the man in charge in reply to the "crime": "No problem. We had an ax murderer working in here and he never gave us any problem."

Violent 'Borts in Denver -
"A 62-year-old man picketing outside an abortion clinic was attacked Tuesday morning, police said. The attacker threw the man to the ground 'with full force' and then hit him with a baby stroller, police said. The assault in the 1900 block of Vine Street was witnessed by two plainclothes officers. Police arrested Paul Owen, 24, of 1730 Emerson St." (Rocky Mountain News, August 10). (The man was veteran prolifer Al Garcia).

New York Stink Bombers Captured -
John Arena was credited with conspiracy along with Michelle Wentworth and Michelle Campbell, who were honored with the charge of actually befouling an abortuary in New York (The Rescuer, May/June 1994, Box 320, Drexel Hill, PA 19026). May the Lord bless them for their noble, though unpopular, rescue efforts.

Ladies Center in Pensacola -
Suspends baby killing indefinitely. Long-standing administrator of the abortion factory, Linda Taggart, declined to talk about possible plans of resuming the slaughter of the innocents. The Center "is offering counseling and other services" (Kansas City Star, August 6). Like abortion referrals and the distribution of abortifacients?

Vermont -
Helen Virginia Ames, 33 of Gulfport, MS, was jailed for placing an explosive device at a Planned Barrenhood facility in St. Albans. Ass. U.S. Attorney John Tavana wants to prosecute the saintly woman, threatening her with 10 years in prison and $250,000 in fines. Tavana further notes that Miss Ames was convicted in 1992 in Clearwater, FL, of making a bomb threat of an abortuary on the phone.

The PP director is all shook up because of recent trends in Florida and Kansas (Washington Post, August 23). But how will prosecution of Ames help the 'borts? If folks can't resist baby killing by offering a simple warning on the phone or just blowing up a childslaughter house, they might take the easy option: termination of abortionists and their accomplices.

Project Honesty -
Lynn Murphy is attempting to document 1) false allegations of anti-abortion violence at abortuary protests, 2) the fact of 'bort attacks upon activist Christians, 3) the violence of police against the same. Send information to Life Research Institute, 4279 Armand Dr., Concord, Ca 94521. Tel. (501) 676-2929.

Federal Thieves in Pensacola -
Federal agents raided the home of Paul Hill soon after the abortion of Abortionist Britton and his accomplice, Unitarian Universalist (neo-pagan) James Barrett. On the evening of the arrest two friends of the Hills called the house to inquire after the well-being of Karen Hill. Telephone numbers were left with the strange man who answered the phone. He was evasive when asked questions. No calls were returned.

Karen Hill was out of state visiting relatives at the time of the terminations. Federal agents broke into the house and searched it. They took at least a computer and answering machine and have returned only a transcript of the telephone tape.

Why does the government have to make a federal case out of a simple termination procedure?

Claprood Live -
Lifeline cable featured Fr. Trosch and your editor on August 21 talking about the justice of terminating abortionists. The trip to Boston for the filming afforded Bray and Trosch the opportunity to visit the site of the Boston Tea Party and long for the days when the relatively righteous King George reigned.

Fr. Trosch has conducted numerous interviews in recent months, including foreign press, e.g. France and Australia. His leftist Archbishop Lipscomb continues to denounce Fr. Trosch, earning himself the approbation of the leftist press. However, the Archbishop has found no authority in the teaching of the Church by which to formally excommunicate or defrock the faithful Fr. Trosch.

(Ah but we have digressed. Now, back to that distinctively good news which causes the soul to rejoice in the knowledge that there is yet spiritual life out there.)

Butyric Acid in New York -
We made brief reference to the two chemical interventions in Long Island and Syracuse in the June edition. Upon rereading the accounts in the local papers, we discovered that there was no confirmation that butyric acid was the source of abortuary-closing stench. The Syracuse Herald-Journal reported only that, "Police believe the chemical used in both cases was colorless butyric acid" (May 20).

This type of baby-saving procedure was the first "reported east of the Mississippi" and "originated in the Midwest about three years ago." But it appears to have been a whopping success. A month after the Syracuse intervention, "some visitors still smell the faint odor of the chemical, Gilbert said." "All porous materials in the Planned Parenthood office - such as ceiling tiles, bulletin boards and some furnitures - had to be replaced because they were permeated with the smell."

Syracuse Abortionist Jack Yoffa, whose office was afflicted on April 14, was POed.

"It's a tragedy that these people can get away with this. They won't stop now, next week, next month, ever."

Likewise, Planned Barrenhood director Jeff Gilbert expressed his disapproval: "It makes me very angry that anyone would sink so low as to use a potentially dangerous chemical to express a point of view."

Life is tough for abortionists these days. Yes, the pay is excellent. And the liability is small, since folks are too embarrassed to press for malpractice suits. And in recent months some of the competition has dropped out (or been dropped). But there is that lingering fear and anxiety that keeps gnawing away at an abortionist's spirit. Not only might he be the next to suffer a head shot, bringing an early end to his existence in this world; but then there is that sense of foreboding in expectation of the punishment he faces in the next world.

Our sympathy and prayers for him are tempered and conditioned, however. He has preyed upon many innocent victims for whom our enduring and greater sympathies must be given priority. We pray for his repentance, that his wretched soul might be cleansed of all the blood guilt he has incurred. But we are also impelled to pray for his victims, whose deliverance may come only by his destruction.

And now, we return to the good news of the chemical rescue procedure. The Herald-Journal continues with its account: "A woman entered the doctor's offices. She claimed to be a friend of a patient there and asked to use the bathroom. Once inside, she poured a half-gallon of acid on the toilet and bathroom walls and left."

And oh! "It was noxious," according to Fire Chief Joe McAllister. "It smelled like vomit." (Yes, it sounds like all the other reports around the country on butyric acid.)

We are also moved to vomit. But that which inclines us so has to do with the sickening comments by establishment "prolife" organizations. Ever bowing before the pressure of public opinion, they condemn deeds of mercy and righteousness and offer their sympathies to the evildoers. Martha Hurlbut, spokeswoman for Friends for Life Inc. said, "This is not pro-life work, this is deplorable. It's not anything we would sanction in any way, and we are saddened."

Raymond Dague, a lawyer who has represented abortuary blockaders, said "Certainly I can't condone that in any way. That doesn't help our side at all. No responsible member of the prolife movement in Syracuse is responsible for this, and I'm very saddened to hear this happened." How blessed we are to have such pure and upstanding leaders, who sadden themselves when it is politically expedient.

Bill Koehler -
One of those who signed the Defensive Action statement lives in North Bergen, NJ. Bill has been interviewed by various major media and enjoyed the usual castigation from prolifers, along with a recent visit by our FBI. NJRTL Committee President Traude Barbiero said Bill was not part of the "mainstream" of the "movement."

Right. Thankfully, Bill is an activist, having blocked doors, picketed, and maintained a witness at the site, rather than in the comfort of committee meetings. Among such folks he is unknown. But among activists he is well known. A prolife brochure, entitled "To Save a Life" is published by The Christophers, a Catholic evangelistic group directed by Fr. John Catoir. It contains a reference to our subject: "Consider the experience of Bill Koehler, a Lutheran layman who distributes literature outside an abortion clinic. One day a woman who had accepted his material came out of the clinic to talk to him. An illegal alien, she believed she had no alternatives until she read the literature he gave her. Koehler and his wife explained options to her. They also arranged for financial help and even sheltered the woman and her child until she could get an apartment of her own."

No. Bill is not part of the "mainstream." He has chosen to do justice and show mercy rather than to serve the god, Public Opinion.

Mahatmahoney -
Prolife gadfly Pat Mahoney writes in an August Joshua Project/CDC letter that he is concerned for his prolife reputation and the drop in donations. "Within the next 10 days the CDC will be seeking a meeting with the Attorney General to ensure the rights of Christians are not violated. We are also planning to hold a summit with the Federal authorities and pro-abortion groups to safeguard the pro-life community from being treated in a reckless manner."

Now there is the making of an interesting alliance. Prolife Pat, the abortionists, and Janet "Waco" Reno plot together to keep the peace. But the government plays it quid pro quo. There must be something given in return. What must Mahoney do to secure help from an anti-Christ administration? What kind of cooperation must CDC pledge to "safeguard the pro-life community" from government abuse? Supply information, such as names of candidates for investigation who may have expressed "radical" ideas about stopping childslaughter? It isn't a long step from condemning people to helping prosecute them.

We small a rat.
