ROCKY RIVER - Fred Sokol, Chair - Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee announces that in 2009 … the Committee will distribute a pro-life anti-abortion pamphlet door to door throughout Rocky River … to show what abortion is.  The Pamphlet is produced, printed and supplied by The Priests for Life – a pro-life Catholic Priest Organization [Titled: "Everyone Against Abortion, Please Raise Your Hand!"].  The Committee also sees this effort as their final chapter written to stop abortion in Rocky River.  

• Please Note: as early as January 2008 the Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee pressed me as the Chairman to proceed immediately with a ‘door to door campaign’ to show the people of Rocky River what abortion is and about abortion in Rocky River.  I countered by telling my Committee Members [in January 2008] that we as a Committee needed to pray over this particular effort.  We have prayed and we will continue to pray with the Rosary For Life Group for the unborn and for discernment.  Yet now as a Committee we are ready to show the people of Rocky River what abortion is.]

THE FIRST CHAPTER ALREADY WRITTEN – AND JUST THE BEGINNING

• My Committee and I already show the people of Rocky River what abortion is by displaying ‘graphic abortion signs’ on the public sidewalks of Rocky River.  Yet that was just the beginning.

THE FINAL CHAPTER IS ABOUT TO BE WRITTEN

• Now we will show the people throughout Rocky River what abortion is as we go door to door.  Then the final chapter of our effort ‘to stop abortion in Rocky River’ will finally be written.

• Also we will invite Rocky River residents to stand, pray and protest abortion with the Rosary for Life Group and Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee - in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] at 20800 Center Ridge Road - that offers … “Abortion pill (medication abortion) … up to 9 weeks after the start of your last menstrual period.”  On [1.] TUESDAY [evenings] 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on [2.] SATURDAY [mornings] 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

GRAPHIC ANTI-ABORTION PAMPHLET

• The ‘pro-life anti-abortion pamphlet’ “Everyone Against Abortion Please Raise Your Hand” to be distributed tells and shows what happened to an unborn baby named “Baby David” [28 weeks in development and 16-inches long] after the unborn baby’s “D&E abortion”.  [It is heartbreaking my friend.  Yet said pamphlet done by The Priests For Life is presented appropriately and professionally.]

GRAPHIC ANTI-ABORTION VIDEO

• To view the [‘pro-life anti-abortion video version’] of "Everyone Against Abortion, Please Raise Your Hand!"  [click title].  Yes, the pro-life video is heartrending yet a very palpable pro-life video for the general public to view.  Also in the same respect ‘the pro-life pamphlet form’ that we will distribute throughout Rocky River is appropriate and professional as well", says Sokol.

IN CLOSING

• As Fr. Pavone National Director of Priests for Life [a Catholic Priest Order] has said, “Show the American people what an abortion is!”

• “I concur with Fr. Pavone.  My Committee and I also want to show the people of Rocky River what an abortion is as well”, says Sokol.

FINALLY

• God wants us to do this.  He has provided.  Praise God!

MEDITATION: I AM A NAZI HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR – AND PRO-LIFE.

Yes I stand, pray and protest abortion in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood].  Yes I am also a Nazi Holocaust Survivor.  I was an eight year old girl at the time I was in a Nazi Concentration Camp.  I am a very much older woman now … yet I remember and will never forget the Nazi Holocaust Horror I endured.  

On Saturday April 25, 2009 I saw a man praying and standing with us, who displayed an anti-abortion sign that read “Hitler’s Holocaust’ and pictured below that a picture of dead Nazi Holocaust Victims piled like cordwood one on top of each other.  Then I read below that “America’s Holocaust” and pictured below that an aborted and dismembered unborn American baby 21 weeks into development named “Baby Malachi”.

As I saw that man’s ‘Hitler’s Holocaust and America’s Holocaust’ anti-abortion sign in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] … my memory and the emotions I experienced as an eight year old girl ‘being caught’ in the Nazi Holocaust … came rushing back to me.

I remember … I was with my mother who was pregnant … and in a boxcar headed for a Nazi Concentration Camp.  Somehow the entire train was attacked and the boxcars all around me were exploding and parts of people in those boxcars were flying everywhere.  Our boxcar was the only boxcar that did not explode.

I remember while in the camp the Nazi’s pulled out all of my mother’s teeth.  My mother was pregnant at the time.  I was also so hungry I ate bread that was thrown into the toilets.

I remember while at the concentration camp and being with my mother we were forced to stand by a creek as my mother gave birth.  I was eight years old and I delivered the baby for my mother.  We did not even have tools to help her have the baby.

I remember as a little girl being chased by a man who was going to assault me.  I remember I was terrified and I ran as fast as I could.  I can still remember the words he said to me as he was chasing me.  I will speak those words in the foreign language he spoke but not in English for they were terrible words.  Yet, it is funny that even to this day I cannot remember if the man caught me or he didn’t. 

The man who was holding the anti-abortion sign in Rocky River suggested … perhaps God gave you the blessing of not remembering the terrible outcome of that chase by that horrible man.

Now that I am older I would like to share my ‘Nazi Holocaust Horror’ with some of my family so they can write it down so future generations will never forget Hitler’s Holocaust.  Yet my family does not want to hear or write about it.

Yet that man who was holding the ‘Hitler’s Holocaust and America’s Holocaust’ anti-abortion sign in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] listened to me.  He also has written down the experiences I shared with him. 

So others will never forget ‘Hitler’s Holocaust’ … and what I went through.

Also, so others can understand why I stand, pray and protest abortion in front of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] … and why others should stand, pray and protest abortion as well.

PRAYER: Lord, be close to those who agonize and suffer both in mind and in body as they carry their cross.  Keep us close to You as well.  Keep us also aware of Your life saving love and salvation as we all are promised … “He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, (for) the old order has passed away."  Revelation 21:4
