| Three Policemen respond to 911 call Thursday at abortion center |
With violent crime on the rise in Charlotte, one would think
the city would be careful to allocate police resources to the areas and
circumstances where violent crime occurs. Those who honestly care about the safety of our citizens would not squander the time and energy of Charlotte's brave officers in blue for frivolous concerns. Right?
This past week, three different police cars responded to a 911
call to come to A Preferred Women’s Health Center on Latrobe Avenue, where 15-50 or so abortions
are performed daily. (SIX cars were summoned on Saturday.) Was this to respond to a woman bleeding to death from a
botched abortion? Was a pro-life advocate threatening to storm into the center
and assault the abortionist? Were guns being brandished, or gang fights
erupting to necessitate three police cars with all the accompanying force behind them to protect our community?
No. The crime necessitating the 911 call from the pro-choice
crowd was they thought Cities4Life volunteers might be
speaking above the allowed decibel level on our legally permitted sound system.
(We were not.) The officers checked our permit to see if we had the legal
right to amplify our voices. (We did.) They
measured the decibel level…twice. We were within the legal limit.
They remained
parked nearby for at least a half hour, and returned an hour later to watch our
dangerous recitation of Bible verses, and offers of tangible assistance to the
mothers in crisis. The police were not at fault. They were required to respond to the 911 calls and have been alerted by the city manager and city council to keep the peace on Latrobe Ave.
Meanwhile, that same week, the 31st homicide to date in Charlotte took place. That same day, a shooting occurred in the afternoon in the 2900 block of Mulberry
Church Road (Nowhere near Latrobe Ave.) Police reported that a call had been made regarding an
assault with a deadly weapon, and when officers arrived, one person was
found with serious injuries.
Please don’t misunderstand. The shooting took place in the afternoon, probably after the police had departed from Latrobe. I don’t wish to mislead you. However, the police know
the hot spots in the city where the rate of violent crime is likely. It is NOT
on Latrobe avenue, and it is NOT from the gentle Christians gathering to pray
and help women in desperate situations.
The only violence that is happening on Latrobe Ave is the daily slaughter of an average of 20-30 babies each day by abortion. The pro-choice crowd has instigated violence against the pro-life group, and we are regularly threatened. It's interesting that despite that fact, the vast bulk of 911 calls are from the pro-choice folks.

| The loving non-judgmental messages from the pro-choice crowd |
I personally spend 3-4 days a week on the sidewalks of the
abortion center on Latrobe Ave, peacefully presenting women with free help and
resources other than abortion. The ministry I work with, Cities4Life, has been
a peaceful and useful presence for the past seven years with many women
choosing life as a result of our intervention. We have helped countless women cope
with their unplanned pregnancies through our network of private supporters without
a dime of tax dollars spent. Not once have I seen a member of our ministry instigate
a single act of violence, or even use bad language. The same cannot be said of
the pro-choice contingency.

Yet regularly, the pro-choice counter-protesters at the abortion
center call the police. Every day, at least two policemen come to check our
sound system permit, or respond to complaints that we are blocking traffic on a
street with very low traffic that is wide enough for four cars to fit.
Between
October 2016 - March 21, 2017, there were sixty-one 911 calls in which a
minimum of two policemen were required to come to assess the emergency. Six of
those calls were from the pro-life groups and fifty-five were from the pro-choice
group. I remember one of those calls because I made it. An angry driver came within inches of my face, fist balled, and told me she was going to make me shut up, though she said it with choice words I cannot repeat. The clinic "security" did nothing to move her away from me. He was quick to tell me not to put a toe over the black pavement of the private driveway, however, or the police would be called. I called the police when the woman continued to threaten me, inches from my nose which has never yet been broken in sixty years and it was looking like it would not make it to sixty-one.
On the other hand, the calls from the pro-choice group never involved a danger of violence. The calls were always related to wanting police to check our legally obtained sound permit, to be sure the decibel level of our sound system was within legal limits, and to insure we never stopped cars on the street to hand out our literature of free, helpful resources.

Many times, I have seen three or even four police cars come because
of the pro-choice people's complaints. Meanwhile, Charlotte is having a banner year of violent crime. In the first quarter of 2017, violent crime increased by 14.4% (http://www.charlottenc.gov/CMPD/Safety/Pages/CrimeStats.aspx). Perhaps the leadership that feels a police presence is necessary to see if the street is being blocked for ten seconds or the sound is a decibel above the legal limit for three accented words on the sidewalks of Latrobe Ave. should instead consider diverting Charlotte's precious police resources to places where people (other than the unborn) are being murdered. Let the one group that is making a dent in the slaughter of the unborn continue their peaceful attempt to provide real alternatives that save lives.
If this wasteful use of tax dollars concerns you, please contact the city manager, Marcus Jones, at 704-336-2241 or Mayor Roberts at Email: mayor@charlottenc.gov, 704-336-2241.
Meanwhile, this morning, my team and I return to the sidewalks of the Southeast's busiest abortion center, knowing if we are not there, 50-60 little babies will die today with no one speaking against this horror. One day last year, our presence convinced eight women to choose life. Please pray that today the many police likely to be there will witness a mob: a mob of women rushing away from the carnage with their babies still safe in their wombs. It is possible our shouts of rejoicing may exceed the legal decibel sound limit.

"Children risking life and limb" ? You know it isn't a safe space for a child and yet you bring them there and then try and claim that they decided to be there on their own will. You are the result of an inadequate education system.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely not a safe place for an unborn child. The risking life and limb was sarcasm for the born children who adore our workers.
DeleteI feel compelled to address some of the mistruths contained within this blog. I am subjected daily to verbal assault by these volunteers. I have had many occasions when I have had to manuver my car around people in the road and driveway. I have witnessed loud, harsh, verbal exchanges between your volunteers and the women who choose to go against your wishes and proceed with their abortion. I have also been verbally assaulted by your volunteers because I choose to love, honor and support the women who grace our doors. I myself have yet to be shown any love or compassion only instead being showered with lies, judgement, hate and attempts at shaming. I love each one of you despite your flaws and am not judging any one of you for doing the best that you can fulfilling your mission. I pray your hearts open to let self will be removed and God's will to prevail as I practice myself on a daily basis.

DeleteHey Susan, I realize you are using the idea that you are helping women to justify preforming abortions but isn't it rather hypocritical to point out that others are "verbally assualting" people while you yourself are taking these precious babies' lives for money. Anyone who calls out to you as you walk into the clinic, to begin destroying lives, is calling out to you because we love you. Look where your life has gone Susan. You used to delight in actually helping women and bringing precious lives into the world but now you're ending lives for a paycheck. Susan, look where your decisions have lead you. All the alcohol, drugs, and anger are destroying you. The people standing in front of your abortion clinic aren't your enemies. We have no ill intent toward you. You are your worst enemy. Please repent and stop using God's word to justify your destructive lifestyle. I don't at all mean this is a condescending manor, but if at any time you want us to pray with you please come over to the sidewalk and allow us the pleasure of doing so. We only desire God's will that's why we stand for life.
DeleteBeautifully written. I will be calling!
