Detroit, MI – In March and April of 2008, Citizens for a Pro-life Society discovered the bodies of 23 aborted babies in the dumpsters outside Detroit area abortion clinics belonging to Alberto Hodari and Reginald Sharpe.

At the time of their discovery, Operation Rescue covered the story and called for criminal charges against Hodari for the illegal dumping of human body parts. While Hodari was given a slap on the wrist for the illegal disposal of women’s private medical records, he was never charged or disciplined for throwing the broken bodies of 23 tiny babies into the trash.

The funeral services were held for the 20 of the babies in May and June, 2008, while three more of the babies were buried in July of that same year.

Today, Citizens for a Pro-Life Society released a powerful video on Youtube.com called “Requiem for the Disappeared,” which features the original song, “Tell me who I am” with lyrics by Dr. Monica Migliorino Miller, director of CPLS. The video melds haunting music with the images from the funerals and of the broken bodies of the nameless babies themselves.

“This video stirs the emotions and reminds us all why we are pro-life,” said Operation Rescue president Troy Newman.

Wichita, KS – Friday afternoon a man on a bicycle attacked Operation Rescue’s national headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, and attempted to disable the security system. There were four people working in the office at the time.

Operation Rescue President Troy Newman heard noise outside his office and observed the assailant through the security cameras attempting to gain access to the roof. Newman rushed outside and confronted the man, who then tried to punch Newman. When that failed, he flung his bicycle at Newman then fled the scene.

One security camera was stolen causing an estimated $1,000 in damage. No one was hurt in the fracas.

Police were called and a report was filed, but the suspect is still at large.

Ironically, at the time of the attack Newman was on the telephone giving an interview to a reporter from the Washington Times about the increase in threats against Operation Rescue staff members in the wake of the murder of late-term abortionist George Tiller.

“In light of the recent events, the targeting of our security system is troubling. We can’t help but think that if this attack happened to an abortion clinic, there would be federal marshals patrolling and investigating. The police seemed apathetic. It’s almost as if pro-lifers are second-class citizens,” said Newman.

“We are just thankful that no one was injured and that the attacker was interrupted before he could do more damage. We will be increasing our security precautions as a result of this incident. We have a very dedicated staff, and no amount of intimidation will deter us from our work.”
