Posted by Tom O'Toole"There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be made known.
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul" (Matt. 10:26,28).You can bet your life Fighting Irish Thomas had "FITs" when I read about a massive abortion mill being built—in secret no less—in a nearby Chicago suburb. "Abortion clinic built under wraps," blazes the brazen headline on the Chicago Tribune's front page, and in it Chicago Area Planned Parenthood CEO Steve Trombley brags that the 22,000-square-foot site, which would make it one of the largest killing-of-the-unborn clinics in the country, was kept secret so long because of his own brilliant strategy.
"We want to introduce ourselves to the community rather than be defined by our adversaries," said the tricky Trombley while conducting a tour for reporters. "Frankly I'm surprised we were able to keep it a secret for so long," he said of the facility, located adjacent to a Dominick's and slated to open Sept. 18th, "but we didn't want anything to interfere with its opening … and at this point, I don't think anything will …"
Although I'm not one to usually give the devil his due, I have to give Lucifer and Trombley (surely a Planned Parenthood CEO must rank as Satan's second in command) credit for at least temporarily pulling the wool over what even PP admits is a "conservative community's" eyes. Indeed they did such a good job that Aurora Councilman Chris Beykirch, who represents this district of Aurora, didn't even know it was a Planned Parenthood/Abortion Clinic until just last week. "I am disappointed that the agency felt it necessary to be so secretive," said Beykirch, but in a rejoinder worthy of John "Hari" Kerry, added, "not that the city could have or would have blocked construction …"
But anyway, the important point to Christians is that their secret, thanks to a courageous contractor voicing his concerns to Ann Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League ("a recovery room, a surgery center of some sort, bullet-proof glass and all the security cameras made him suspicious," said Scheidler) is now out. And, as Tribune writer Bonnie Miller Rubin noted, "Planned Parenthood may have won the battle by building the clinic in secret but anti-abortion forces vowed the war is far from over."
If Mr. Trombley still smugly believes that nothing will interfere with its opening, he'd better think again. The Pro-Life Action League plans to begin its organized protests on Aug. 22nd (the Feast of the Queenship of Mary) complete with its graphic pictures of abortions being paraded not only by the would-be abortion mill, but by nearby mall stores and businesses as well. And this has Oakhurst (a subdivision of 2,200 homes within sight of the center) Homeowners Association President Jonathan Lack clearly worried. While conceding that the majority of the homeowners are "conservative and Republican," the politically-correct "hack" Lack laments, "It is a lightning-rod issue for a lot of people on both sides … Having protesters on both sides [of the issue] does not fit with the neighborhood aesthetic."
Perhaps not, Jonathan, but such protests fit right in at FIT. While Lack clearly lacks the guts to take a stand, I know our readers don't—and won't. Certainly our local followers will want to physically join the protests, but for those who can't, prayers and e-mails may help the city of Aurora to reconsider, or at least make Trombley tremble. And let us not forget the young women whose babies the Planned Parenthood deceivers seek to destroy.
Dear girls, does it not make you think twice that this group is so ashamed of their true aim that they sought to keep it secret? The clinic's "sleek cabinetry, faux wood floors and airy recovery rooms," only seek to hide a mission as sinister as Hitler's, for the death camp in Aurora (if things go as Planned Parenthood planned) will be no less deadly than the one in Auschwitz. If you go near the clinic, you will no doubt agree with Mrs. Scheidler that her group's posters of abortions are "ugly graphic pictures that everyone hates—" but if they make you take their message to heart, know it was because the souls of those aborted babies (not to mention their guardian angels) prayed long and hard enough to allow you to keep your own. And that Love, my friend, is the most beautiful thing of all.
