"RESCUERS OF THE PRE-BORN" TO PICKET HOMES OF ABORTION PROVIDERS

BOO! Just in time for Halloween, Dr. Patrick Johnston, Minutemen United & Friends plan a very special "outreach" to Central Ohio abortion providers

Group to Visit Abortionists Neighborhood
Posted: Thursday, October 12, 2006

Hello, rescuers of the pre-born! I want to invite you to a scary Halloween outreach! Ha! Scary for the devil, that is, not for you brave warriors for Jesus' kingdom!

We have obtained and confirmed the home addresses of at least two Columbus abortionists. On October 28, we'll kindly inform the residents of this neighborhood of the murderer that lives beside them, and we'll encourage them to "Not hate thy brother in thine heart... (but) rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him." (Lev.19:17). At least one of these neighborhoods has good public sidewalk for ministering, and we'll research the second neighborhood soon.

Our theme will be "The Scariest Neighborhood in Town." I'll have a banner made, and we'll have brief tracts made for the occasion. The tracts will simply inform the residents of the abortionist that resides in their neighborhood, provide a pic of them entering the child-killing facility. There will be a brief message about abortion, and we'll close with a Gospel message about Paul, the murderer, repenting and trusting in Christ and being mightily used of God, and inviting the reader to do the same.

It's a bold outreach, but hey, they're really killing babies! We'll walk around the neighborhood once or twice with banners, distribute our tracts, then head for the next site. We'll go to two neighborhoods, close with prayer, then leave. Let's start at Noon, and I suspect we'll conclude by 2:30 p.m. Please keep this event bathed in prayer. Thank you.

The gates of hell will NOT prevail!
Dr. Patrick Johnston

PATRICK JOHNSTON ARRESTED IN JACKSON

(Information taken from news reports)

According to the July 17, 2006 Jackson (MS) Clarion-Ledger, Central Ohio anti-abortion activist Dr. Patrick Johnson was arrested in Jackson on Sunday charged with obstructing traffic and protesting without a permit during an Operation Save America-sponsored anti-abortion rally outside out St. James Episcopal Church. The picture at the top left of the Clarion -Ledger story shows Johnston, in the red shirt, at the church.

Johnston and his wife Elizabeth are attending Operation Save America's "national event," this year targeting the Jackson Women's Health Center, the state's only abortion clinic.

No violence was reported at St. James, and it is unclear why the church was targeted. At an earlier protest at the Unitarian-Universalist Church, however, where a pre-service abortion forum was scheduled, the windshield of a car belonging to an anti-abortion protestor was smashed after the driver allegedly hit an abortion supporter in the church parking lot. The Clarion-Ledger reported that the OSA supporter attempted to drive into the parking lot past church security who were attempting to keep abortion protesters off church property. OSA claims the car was beaten with PVC pipe and "demolished" by masked "anarchists" while Jackson's "facsist" police stood by and did nothing. Pictures of the incident are here. Similar accusations of police disinterest were made by OSA in Columbus two years ago during the take-over of City Hall Plaza and here.

Here is the the report on Johnston's arrest. Johnston was charged under his "professional" name "James".

Arrested and released outside the Episcopal church were Ronald Brock, 67, of Winchester, Calif.; John Calvin, 46, of Jackson; Phillip Carnaggio, 80, of Greenwood; Ashley Harriet, 72, of Jackson; and James Johnston, 35, address unavailable, according to the police arrest docket. Brock, who was driving a vehicle bearing pictures of fetuses, was charged with disorderly conduct.

The other four people were charged with obstructing traffic and protesting without a permit, Cmdr. Lewis said.

Johnston's arrest followed a day of turmoil in Jackson. Smith Park was evacuated after a suitcase, later found to contain nothing but prescription bottles, was left in a trashcan during an abortion rights rally in the park where Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women was speaking. About 15 police were on hand for the rally, but the bomb squad, ATF and FBI have now been called in to investigate.

On Monday seven OSAers were arrested while protesting on the sidewalk at the Jackson Women's Health Organization. Lawyers for the American Center for Law and Justice and the American Family Association are seeking a restraining order against the Jackson police to stop further arrests.

Patrick Johnson is a well-known domionist figure in Central Ohio. I have written about him here and here. Saturday mornings he can often be found protesting at CapCare. His webpage StopColumbusKilling.net includes a large collection of photos of clinic staff and patients along with their license plate numbers. I'll be writing more about Johnston over the next few months.

Members of Minute Men United are also in Jackson, but I have heard no reports of their activities.


Addenda: Check out "lesforlife's account of the Jackson mess, Masked Mauraders Assault Operation Save America's Evangelists" on Blogs for Life. (It includes a picture of the "anarchists.") The writer tosses WTO protesters, Anti-Racist Action, World Can't'Wait, NOW, Unitarians, liberals and the Jackson, Misissippi Police Department into the melting pot and pours out a gang of anarchists running amuck. Who wouldda thought!
