Grandmother, 72, Violently Attacked Outside Nebraska Abortion Mill
Attacker simply ticketed while daughter gets coerced abortion
[Correction: The woman was charged with a class-three misdemeanor assault, not a felony as previously reported. We apologize for the error.]
Omaha, NE — On Saturday, October 11, 2008, Mary Adam, 72, was knocked to the ground and injured outside a Bellevue, Nebraska abortion clinic by the angry mother of a woman who Mary had turned away from the clinic the previous day. The woman had returned with her daughter to insure that she received an abortion, even though the daughter expressed hesitancy to Mary on Friday and indicated to her an interest in placing her baby for adoption.
Mary was rushed to a nearby hospital and was treated for a bump on the head and other minor injuries for which she is still suffering pain. She is recovering at home.
The incident began on Friday, when two sisters arrived at the abortion clinic owned by the infamous partial-birth abortionist LeRoy Carhart. They were given literature, and Mary spoke to them about the abortion and some of the problems that Carhart has had, including his involvement in the third-trimester abortion death of 19-year old Christin Gilbert in 2005, at George Tiller’s late-term abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas.
The two girls questioned a clinic worker about the Gilbert death before they were hustled into the clinic. The girls later left the clinic without having gotten the abortion.
Police were summoned by the abortion clinic staff, who told the police that Mary and another pro-lifer, Larry Donlan, were “screaming” at the girls. Donlan had videotaped the encounter and told the officers that the accusations were absurd, and the video would prove it. The police then threatened Mary and Donlan with arrest.
Mr. Donlan, head of Rescue the Heartland, and a Truth Truck driver for Operation Rescue, gave the following report about what happened the following day:
Apparently after we had gone [on Friday], the girls left the mill only to return the next morning, this time with their mother who was furious that her daughter didn’t have the abortion. She hurled threats and curses at the pro-lifers as they got out of the car. Mary was at the top of the stairs as usual, but because of the high fence, she couldn’t see who it was that was coming. As the three women walked up the stairs from the parking lot, she said, “This is the worst thing you will do in your whole life. Your baby’s heart is beating right now.”
Upon hearing this the mother, went ballistic. Cursing and screaming, she rushed Mary, shoving her and knocking her down into the street. Mary fell backwards hitting her head on the concrete. The woman then went inside the mill leaving Mary lying in the street.
Being in intense pain and barely able to move, pro-lifers who witnessed the attack helped pull her to the side of the road so as to be out of the way of traffic and called 911. Both a rescue squad and police arrived at the scene and Mary was taken to the hospital.
After almost two hours of “investigation” the woman was ticketed with a class-three misdemeanor assault, but was not arrested. This is a serious offence. There can be no question that if any of us had done something similar, we would surely have been arrested and jailed.
Mary is the mother of 11, grandmother of 21, and great grandmother of 3. She regularly offers help to abortion bound women in Bellevue. The name of her attacker has not been released.
“We are concerned that this was a coerced abortion. If the woman who attacked Mary would so easily resort to violence against a frail woman in full view of numerous witnesses, we can only wonder what she has done to her daughter in private,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “But with the obvious police corruption in Bellevue, there is no where to turn to get help for that poor girl. The Bellevue Police Department needs a wake-up call to the reality of what is happening in their community. It is not the pro-lifers who are the problem there, but the abortion mill staff who are making false statements to the police and apparently covering for coerced abortions and God knows what else.”

When that woman pushed Mary Adam into a busy road she could have caused her to be hit by a car, maimed or possibly killed. I call that attempted murder. Shame on the Bellevue police. Shame on a woman who would shove an elderly woman into a busy street AND force her daughter to abort her own grandchild, she is evil.

Why are the pro-aborts so violent and hateful? Because they know they are wrong; they know that abortion is murder!
P.S. “Gotten”, besides being grammatically incorrect, is unnecessary in your story. Now, if only you had WENT and TOOKEN that out of your story.

If the video was made, could we see it? Also would it help if it was sent to the local news? I think actual video footage would be more convincing than words, and would eliminate any conflicting stories about what actually happened.

The timing of this story is interesting. Here in Birmingham at the New Woman All Women death camp, a 78 year old great-grandmother was arrested along with three other sidewalk counselors on Saturday in an illegal ambush involving the police and the abortion mill owner.
The two deathscorts walked across the street (there’s a bubble zone at this mill) carrying two chairs and a sign. One deathscort presented the counselors with a “parade permit” indicating that Diane Derzis, the abortion mill owner, had rented the section of sidewalk for the day and the counselors had to leave. Before they knew it, seven or eight police cruisers arrived on the scene and four of the counselors were arrested. Two of the counselors were arrested because they refused to leave, but the other two (one of whom was the grandmother) proceeded to leave and were arrested anyway!
This is one in a long series of attempts by Derzis and her henchmen in the police department to thwart the free speech rights of pro-lifers in Birmingham. Anyone familiar with NWAW knows of its hideous reputation and why Derzis is dubbed the “Abortion Queen.”
The pro-aborts sure seem to have a penchant for attacking (in addition to babies and women) the elderly. Shows what cowards they truly are.

Pam–
We can be certain that under a President Obama, these violations of First and Fourteenth Amendment rights will skyrocket.

Now having interacted closely with police for a class I am taking, and knowing how they seem to have much respect for the constitutional rights of citizens, its amazing to me that in other areas such corrupt police do still exist, that trample on pro-lifers rights to peacefully assemble and protest. I cannot believe that the police would not arrest that woman who assaulted Mary. I do know that police depts. HATE bad press. If the media would show the video and there was enough of an uproar, then something would be done.

Pro aborts get that way because they displace their anger and shame they have taken from from being in favor of the abortion holocaust -either directly or indirectly - onto those that remind them of their anger and shame: pro lifers. They really need to get to the root of their anger and deal with it appropriately.

Such police provide a moral cross-section of the country today. The consensus among many is that “if it’s legal, it’s moral.” This was the course of events in Nazi Germany; legalized anti-semitism meant it was okay to vilify, abuse and finally murder Jews.
Today is no different: abortion is legal and many of our police are an integral part of the American holocaust.
Amid a culture poisoned by decades of anti-life propaganda, Barack Obama is about to take power. His indifference toward life– philosophically and legislatively– is exactly that of Hitler’s. We can expect police accross the country to clamp down even more violently against us… and courts to effectively codify their abuse of our Constitutional rights.

Don’t expect the courts to help you here. Judges in Sarpy County(Bellvue) and Douglas County(Omaha) are hostile to pro-life picketers. Judge Lyn V. White in Omaha singled out many pro-life demonstrators for ’special’ harsh sentences to jail and community service –then after hundreds of hours of community service was performed by the “convicted” pro-lifers, she denied the hours, and ordered the community service be re-done, or face additional jail. Violation of civil rights is common for those who protest, and courts and police look the other way when pro-life protesters are assaulted.

There is an implicit knowledge that any assault on abotion protesters is that ‘you get the first one free”! That is an abomination of any constitutuional civil rights, and judges who go along with it should be impeached! Their rulings cause the police to act this way, as the police know that it is futile to arrest anyone who assaults a pro-lifer only to have the judges show bias and throw out cases of attacks against citizens utilizing their civil rights in protest.

IMPEACH JUDGES WHO LOOK THE OTHER WAY AT ATTACKS ON THE UNBORN OR THOSE PROTESTING INFANTICIDE!!!

FYI, this is what I’ve e-mailed to Bellevue’s chief stormtrooper; feel free to copy and send, as well:
Mr. Stacey–
How can you and your officers be so abusive and negligent? We’ve seen the sort of thuggery your officers displayed at Carhart’s abortion mill among
other cities’ polices forces. To whom much is entrusted, much is expected. Will you continue being an accessory to the assault, battery and murder of innocent citizens whose protection you have sworn to provide? Either admonish and discipline your officers or resign.
October 16th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Great insights, John. My dad grew up in fear under Hitler as a young boy and it horrifies me to contemplate that we here in America may soon endure a similar nightmare. “It can’t happen here” are famous last words.
October 17th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Indeed, Pam, indeed…
It IS happening here. Witness, for example, recent state and local laws that violate First Amendment rights: Catholic and other pro-life pharmacists required to provide abortifacients, contraceptives, etc. or to refer “patients” to places where they can be obtained; social service agencies being forced to arrange adoptions to homosexual couples or to refer them to organizations that will arrange such adoptions.
In such situations, our faith requires that we refuse to cooperate in such evils. And providing referals would be formal cooperation with these grave evils. The only alternative we have is to quit our professions or suffer the criminal penalties.
This is the religious persecution of Nazi Germany and other totalitarian regimes… right here in the good ol’ US of A.
These laws– now on the books in some jurisdictions– are direct violations of our freedom of religion and equal protection under the law. With a leftwing Congress, leftwing courts and a President Obama, you can bet your last penny this will become prevasive throughout the United States.

The ambush in which four prolifers were brutally arrested is especially heinous in view of Birmingham’s pride in it’s history of Civil Rights struggles. Birmingham’s finest, sworn to protect and serve Birmingham’s innocent and most vulnerable, making a complete mockery of their profession, throwing the most innocent and vulnerable under the proverbial bus while brutally forcing the Christians trying to protect those children’s civil rights to the back of it. Unless this outrage is successfully defeated in the appropriate courts of law, Birmingham might as well relegate civil rights themselves to relic status in its famed civil rights museum, and concede defeat to the perpetrators of barbaric wrongs such as the brutal treatment of prolifers, and the atrocities they were trying to curtail.
We still hear, from time to time, mention in local news of the four little girls killed in the KKK bombing of the 16th Street Baptist church; yet no mention is ever made of the dozens of little boys and girls, most of whom are black, slaughtered at NWAW and Planned Parenthood.
Several years ago, some KKK members came down and paid a visit to the sidewalks outside NWAW. Observing the majority of the babies sentenced to slaughter that day to be black, they pronounced their blessing on NWAW’s ethnic cleansing activities, stated that their lynching (etc.) services were no longer needed, and left.
Interestingly, the majority of police officers involved in last Saturday’s human rights abuses were black. No KKK members were present that we are aware of, if they had been, however, they would have laughed with delight to see blacks helping to kill off more blacks, with the blessing of the police department of the “Civil Rights capital of Alabama.”

I’m not saying that violence is ok…it never really should be tolerated, but protesters need to wise up to what they’re getting themselves into. Just because a woman makes the choice to abort doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a difficult decision. Emotions run high and the last thing these women want to be faced with are people protesting their choice. Do you people not have jobs? Do something constructive such as volunteer at a hospital or animal shelter or maybe one of those crisis centers that pressure some women into a choice that may not necessarily be right for them.
NO choice should be coerced into. I believe the best decisions are informed ones, where all choices are laid out with pro’s and con’s. Witholding a choice is unfair just because you don’t agree.
