New Abortuary Set to Open in Wichita

[Betty]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

For some time I've been praying this would not come to pass, but Tiller's old clinic continues to prepare to open. I even wrote the electrical contractor in an effort to persuade them to not work on the building. They did not respond. The clinic had a considerable number of hurdles to get past, but word is they are going to open soon. 

Those who don't live near or are unaware of an abortuary in their area just cannot understand the horror. It's like having the gates of hell on one's doorstep. I'm in the uncomfortable position of not even knowing if I'll be able to be onsite. (Of course, I'm asking the Lord to provide a way and trusting He will.) Things are just much more complicated now with the children in high school and hubby still not getting around well. I barely have a free moment as it is, but not going is just unacceptable. Truly, I need to be onsite with the blankets, some New Testaments, and few other things. I really need to find a way to make posters from the art. The colors really catch people's eyes, affording me the opportunity to speak to the mothers.

The last time I worked onsite I had a group of people that prayed, helped make blankets, and generally supported me. I'm not talking about money here, because I didn't take in any to speak of in all those years. It takes money, of course, but money and fame were not the reason I worked. So, my efforts in that area regarded expenses rather than support and most of that came out of our pocket. Anyway, the point is that I had the support I required, but with Tiller's death people drifted away. I wasn't trying to make a career out of it. So, it's only natural that they would.

When I first went out to witness, the Lord told me to stay away from the groups. The reason was soon broadly apparent. They are largely concerned with credit and control. That is how they make their living. So, they can be a problem when one is trying to work in the Spirit. I tried to circumvent the issue by working with them, not for them. The reason it matters is because it is practically impossible to reach mothers unless one is working in the Spirit. Entanglement with Catholic groups, who are trying to convert you, or antagonistic groups, who don't think you're obnoxious enough, or groups focused on money, who want to use you to make it -- all these can really get in the way. I actually had group members taking provisions from me, claiming they were going to use them, but actually just trying to force me to drop my tactics for theirs! Neither could I decline Catholicism, however politely I did so, without incurring the considerable ire of those who considered the entire effort an extension of the Catholic church. I could say more, but you get the point. It is unlikely the groups would support me even if I wanted them to. I was and remain a bit of a rebel by their standards -- productive, but uncontrollable. 

Please understand I'm not really knocking the big groups. It does take money and few people are willing to support the effort. I just wouldn't spend it the way they do for the most part. There is a real need, though, for things like legal representation, help lines, assistance for the mom's, billboards, and such. Did you know a car seat can sometimes make all the difference? I've seen it. So, I'm not saying they're terrible, just that I prefer to be separate from them. Truly if I had gotten involved with them, things like the blankets and art would likely have never developed.

Mills can also be very dangerous given that proabort authorities are sometimes willing to completely ignore the law. Given that Tiller was killed, and prolifers credited for it, it could be even more dangerous than before. Just so you know the man who shot Tiller was involved in militias not the prolife movement. Historically, authorities do not tend to let a little thing like the truth get in the way of harassing us. Such harassment can be extreme.

So, the question is are there any here who are willing to pray over this? Those interested can contact me privately. This is real, brothers and sisters. Children and mothers will soon be dying in Wichita, Kansas -- again. We can be Christ to them. Let me know.

In Him,

Betty
