Announcing!–Important Picket of Detroit Abortion Clinic August 20th Details Here

~ richeyjo ~ 1 Comment

abotion mill
Dear Defenders of Life—Citizens for a Pro-Life Society with Pro-life Detroit Plans Major Picket of Detroit Abortion Clinic.  Please make plans to attend this very important—and frankly RARE picket of a Detroit abortion center— Namely the:

Summit Medical Center at 15801 W McNichols Rd, Detroit, MI 48235 (at McNichols and Forrer St., east of Southfield Rd. (M39)

Saturday, August 20, 8am to 10am
PARKING AVAILABLE ON McNichols Ave. and also on side streets north of McNichols.

Why picket this clinic?– well, in some ways we may ask WHY NOT? It’s an abortion clinic!

However, Summit has a recent history of botched 2nd trimester abortions, kills upwards of 40 babies every week, feeds off the desperation of African American women, employs abortionist Reginald Sharpe who botched a 23 week abortion when moonlighting for abortionist Jacob Kalo, Sharpe threw aborted babies into the dumpster of his clinic in Livonia (those babies are buried at Assumption Grotto Parish cemetery), a woman died after having an abortion at his now closed-Detroit clinic, AND add to this the fact that Summit uses pro-abortion escorts and a very aggressive security guard to intimidate and thwart the life-saving efforts of sidewalk counselors!!

Let’s be there August 20th with a huge pro-life turn-out—and witness to the sanctity of human life !!

Spread the word about this– POST on your FACEBOOK page– bring signs:

First Amendment infringement: First state to ban preaching the Bible in churches

~ richeyjo ~ Leave a comment

logo_no_ar

I signed and you may want to…

In Iowa, it’s now against the law to preach the Bible, at least according to the Civil Rights Commission. The commission is stretching a state code to ban churches from teaching on biblical sexuality and to force the churches to open restrooms and locker rooms to members of the opposite sex. The commission reasons that since churches are places of public accommodation, they cannot “discriminate” against anyone on the basis of sexual orientation.

This is absurd and unconscionable. Our culture has become so obsessed with sex, that we are losing our fundamental principles. America was founded on the principles of freedom—particularly freedom of religion. Please stand with us in fighting back against the Iowa Civil Rights Commission.  Sign here: http://www.citizengo.org/en/sc/35795-against-law-preach-bible

We cannot allow the State of Iowa a to muzzle people of faith and force us into silence. This is an issue of critical importance. We must stand together to make our voice heard and our strength felt.

The Civil Rights Commission has interpreted Chapter 216 of the Iowa Code to mean that if a pastor discusses anything in the Bible that relates to sexuality or marriage, he has broken the law. Sign here: http://www.citizengo.org/en/sc/35795-against-law-preach-bible

Cary Gordon is the pastor of Cornerstone World Outreach, a nondenominational church with around 900 members in Sioux City, Iowa. He says his greatest concern is the “flagrant disrespect for the First Amendment of the Constitution.” Under this interpretation of the code, “the state retains the power to correct or control what I say and teach out of the Bible.”

As Christians, we need to show that we will not quietly abdicate our freedoms. The right to religious liberty is ingrained in the very fabric of our nation. The ability to faithfully preach the word of God must be protected. Please stand with us in pushing back against this attempt to silence the church from discussing biblical teachings on sexuality. Rally your church, your family, and your neighbors: this is something we all can, and must, resist.

If this could happen in Iowa, it could happen anywhere.

Sincerely,

Kira Nelson and the entire CitizenGO team

P.S. Pastor Gordon says of the law that, “it’s fundamentally wrong and I can’t comply with that. I’ve taken an oath to the Lord Jesus Christ, and I obey the Bible above all men. I have to obey God, and that puts me in a precarious position.”  Sign here: http://www.citizengo.org/en/sc/35795-against-law-preach-bible

Thank you for standing with us!
