CITIZENS FOR A PRO-LIFE SOCIETY
In
February 2010 Michigan pro-life activist Chris Veneklase decided to take a look
in the trash dumpster used by the Womans Choice clinic in Lansing.
He
found the remains of 17 aborted babies—killed
at the clinic and tossed in the trash. The date of the abortion, and all
of the names of the mothers were written on the medical baggies that contained
the tiny dismembered human bodies of these children. They had all been
aborted in January of that year and all in the first 10 weeks of
gestation.
Chris
Veneklase called me-- the director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society as
I have had extensive experience with the retrievals of aborted babies from clinic trash containers and
the burials for these victims of abortion.
One
of the things that I did was photograph the aborted babies Chris had found in the Womans Choice
dumpster. Their photos are can seen at http://www.imagesofabortion.com
One
of the photos was of a tiny arm and hand of a 7 week aborted baby -- torn at the shoulder.
This
photo was printed in my book Abandoned—The Untold
Story of the Abortion Wars, published in 2012 by Saint Benedict Press.
The
manager of a crisis pregnancy center in Milwaukee named Mary Gilpin purchased a
copy of Abandoned and kept the
book at the CPC.
In
October a woman came to the CPC intent on having an abortion. She justified her
decision because she was only 7 weeks pregnant – and was convinced that
the baby was not formed yet,
was not human, that “nothing was there”—thus she was not killing anyone!
Mary
opened my book and showed her this photo that I had taken—a photo of one of
the babies that Chris
Veneklase had retrieved from the trash! The woman was immediately stunned by
what she saw—a real hand of a real human being at 7 weeks gestational
age!
The abortion-bound woman changed her mind against
having the abortion—and her baby is
alive today.
This
story bears a few important lessons. Consider the links in this pro-life
victory:
a) First, pro-life activist Chris Veneklase, took
the aborted unborn out of the
trash
b) Eileen Coleman, another pro-lifer, lent a fine
state-of-the-art high definition digital camera to your CPLS director.
c) Your CPLS director took the photos of the
aborted babies.
d) Saint Benedict Press-- a great Catholic
publisher-- publishes Abandoned—and agrees to feature abortion victim photos in
the book that includes this one of the 7 week aborted baby from the Womans Choice clinic.
e) Mary Gilpin, a long-time pro-life crisis
pregnancy counselor shows this photo to a woman who was intent on getting an
abortion--
AND THE BABY IS SAVED.
When
I told this story to Chris Veneklase—he thanked God for what he called the
“symphony of good.” That is a truly apt description of just what
happened here—many people, doing good things worked together in the providence
of God to save a baby from abortion.
PLEASE--
ALSO CONSIDER-- How amazing it is that this aborted baby saved another unborn child from
suffering the injustice of abortion. The Womans Choice clinic, its abortionist
and staff, all who conspired to kill this baby,
worked to keep this unborn child forever
hidden—consigning this human life to the bottom of a trash dumpster where
he or she was meant to be forever lost and dismissed—as if this human being had
never existed.
But
because a courageous pro-lifer went into that dumpster to search for the
unwanted and the lost, because someone photographed this broken body, because a
publisher printed that photo in her book and because a pro-lifer showed that
photo in the book to a woman seeking an abortion—this aborted unborn child SPOKE HIS TRUTH—THE
TRUTH OF HIS HUMANITY AND THE TRUTH OF HIS EXISTNECE AND CALLED A MOTHER TO
HONOR THE LIFE OF HER BABY!
The
Womans Choice clinic didn’t win! Abortion didn’t win. The
“symphony of good” won—and this tiny unwanted unborn child did
not die in vain!
LET US NEVER TIRE OF WORKING TO END ABORTION
BY THE SYMPHONY OF GOOD-- LIVES ARE SAVED!
