Please Help Us Bring Baby Rowan’s Killers to Justice
Dear Friends of Life,
When it comes to horrible abortion stories I thought I had heard it all.
Until now!
Earlier this week I read a story on World Net Daily that chilled my blood to the bone. The article was about a 6 month-old baby boy named “Rowan” who was left to die in the toilet of an Orlando abortion clinic.
I was brought to tears as the mother recounted the terrible abortion that led to Rowan’s live birth. That’s right! The ultimate botched abortion. . .the baby was born alive!
Now the mother of Rowan is asking for help from us to expose this hideous crime and make sure this abortion mill is closed once and for all. (Before you read the rest of my letter, I urge you to read the whole story for your self on World Net Daily.)
We have talked to Rowan’s mom, and I can assure you she has had a real conversion for life. Once she saw her son gasping for air she immediately regretted the abortion and vowed to do everything in her power to close this abortion mill.
Baby Rowan’s death was illegal. That’s right; according to the three-year old ” Born Alive Infants Protection Act,” the abortion mill could be guilty of a federal crime.
But right now, the prosecutors are doing absolutely nothing, even though earlier this month the White House promised to begin enforcing the Born Alive law!
Only a few days ago, the Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said in a press release, “The [Born Alive Infants Protection] Act reaffirms the legal principle that all infants born alive are entitled to the full protection of the law. That is a principle I will vigorously uphold as Secretary. . .We took the first of these educational steps today by notifying relevant entities that we aggressively enforce federal laws that protect born-alive infants.”
We plan to hold him to his word.
We have been asked to do two things to bring justice for Baby Rowan, and I hope you will want to help.
First, we need to prove Baby Rowan was born alive and make the abortionist pay for his crime. To do this an autopsy must be preformed, but Rowan’s mom doesn’t have the $3,500 to pay for the autopsy. So I have personally guaranteed that Operation Rescue would cover the cost of the autopsy report, and then hand deliver that report to the prosecutors.
Second, we must make the dreadful death of Rowan a fixture on the nightly news. In order to ensure that this crime is prosecuted to the fullest extent we must bring public pressure to bear directly on those who will be responsible to enforce the law and prosecute this crime. To do this we will hold a press conference today (see press release here) and follow up with a massive “awareness campaign.”
Both you and I know abortion is repugnant, but we must help convince everybody else in the country if abortion is ever to end. I believe that this is a perfect opportunity to shine the national spotlight on heinous nature of the American abortion holocaust.
I am so confident that we should act that we sent Rev. Pat Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition to Orlando, Florida, to begin laying the groundwork and start our media campaign.
If you wish to help cover the cost of the $3,500 autopsy please click here or send a tax-deductible gift to Operation Rescue c/o Baby Rowan, P.O. Box 601150, Sacramento, CA 95860.
Perhaps you could contact your local media and inform them of Baby Rowan’s plight. Anything you could do in this regard would help expose the dirty side of abortion industry. This could encourage Federal prosecutors to lock up this abortionist once and for all to keep him from hurting anyone else.
We are praying Baby Rowan’s death will help other babies live. (That is Rowan’s mom’s prayer too).
Your servant for Life,
Troy Newman, President
P.S . To recap: Operation Rescue has promised to underwrite the cost of Rowan’s autopsy so we can prove he was born alive. This vital information could lead to the first ever abortionist being prosecuted and sent to jail under the new Born Alive Infants Protection Act. I believe it is so critical I have sent Rev. Pat Mahoney to Florida to begin an all-out media blitz to draw attention to this murder and bring those responsible for the death of Baby Rowan to justice. Your donation to this work will be very much needed and appreciated!

Let me see if I have this straight:
A person who is alive in Florida was allowed to die, even though all the person needed was food and minimal medical attention?
And the authorities say there is nothing they can do about it?
And well-meaning people are going to go to FL, raise awareness (and money) and make sure that the wrongdoers are brought to justice?
*Ahem*
Sure. Go for it.
Folks, I hope this proves to all of you out there that the answer is to elect more spineless Republicans, because the Democrats are worse!
I’m also tickled to death that the mother of this homicide victim is prolife - NOW.
I apologize for my cynicism. It’s all I have left.

Cynical or not, it is still right to try. That abortionist runs a dump down there and needs to be brought to justice, or (at least) exposed in the trying.

it’s interesting how legalized abortion didn’t get rid of the backalley

The preliminary autopsy report is that the baby wasn’t born live — but the news report doesn’t say upon what finding this conclusion was based. Did they check the lungs for tap water versus amniotic fluid, or just check to see if the lungs had inflated? Now that an autopsy has been done, can we have a second opinion? Somebody to do more detailed studies of Rowan’s lungs?

The first part of the armor of God, is to gird up our loins with truth. The word truth in this scripture is a verb, and means the spoken truth.
Loins is the pro- creative region of a mans anatomy. It is the place where seeds of life are produced, and despenced.
The scripture also tells us that the Word is spiritual seed.
Every social movement in America was started by children of the most high God, who spoke the spiritual seeds of Gods truth about the injustice of fallen man.
The mistake we have made, is that we have allowed pagans to co-opt the message.
The womens movement was started by pro-life christians, but we allowed pagans to infiltrate and somehow add perverted sexuality, and child killing.
The same is true with the civil rights movement as well.
We must quit apologizing for our faith, and stand firm in the spoken truth of the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ, no matter what. …having done all to stand, stand there for…
We can no longer put our trust in “conservatism” that has adopted the stratigy of incramental surrender to secular humanism.
The pretence of civilaty is the perfect cover for the enemy to hide under. Everyone plays “nice” at the cost of inocent life.
Our “prolife” president said we must error on the side of life, but just as many children have died at Tiller’s as would have died if Gore, or Cary would have been elected.
“We the people” need to quit asking, and start demanding that these injustices come to a stop.
We need to tell frisk and the boy’s to quit playing nice with the enemy. The oportunity for change is slipping thru our fingers, and all the Rebulicans do is act like a preasure release valve to maintain the status quo.
Federal marsals should have been ordered to protect Terry Shiavo. Judge Greer impeached, along with the federal judges who violated the constitutional mandates of congress.
How long do we cow down while the inocent perish? Sometimes the unpleasant must be done.
We need to tell this government.. “we ain’t asking” stop the insanity.
Who cares if the clinic is clean while they kill kids, close the clinic!!!
Who cares if the enemies of Life squal when they lose, let us defeat them!!! Their whinning should be music to our ears.

Am I the only one who sees the parallel to Terry Schiavo? “Lew” is right. Nothing is going to happen to the wrongdoers. They are the authorities. They are not going to admit that they did wrong and are wrong.

Joey,
What, so do we just lay down and let this kind of thing go on without lifting a finger, just because the perps will not admit wrong-doing? Ephesians 5:11 says we should EXPOSE the unfruitful works of darkness. It does not say only to do so if it will be easy or if everyone will listen. If you allow the Terri Schiavo case to fully discourage you, then the enemy has won. I have a friend that is always saying, “Obedience is success. Leave the results up to God.” Good advice. OR is doing the right thing by obediently exposing the unfruitful works of darkness, whether with the Schiavo case, Baby Rowan, or George Tiller. We can rest on God’s promise that there will be reaping in due season.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but the main reason I have been involved in this issue is found in this question, “at what point did Jesus become God Almighty in human flesh?” Could it be when Mary conceived a son? And if it was at the point of conception, as soon as the seed hits the egg, isn’t what is conceived the image of the pre-born Christ? And if that is true, what will be the response of a just God on those who destroy His pre-born image?
How bout ya big dog? You think you can take on The God who is able to destroy both body and soul? You think you can skate across the great sea of glass and fling your blatant disregard for the authority of a vengeful God in His face and walk away untouched?
No my friend, you will do what all will do. Your knees will go down, and your blasphemous tounge will wiggle out of your mouth, and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of All. Then you will here those dreaded words “depart from me you worker of iniquity, I never knew you.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fall on your face and cry out for mercy before it is to late!!!
Thats about all I got to say about it.

Joey, your post reminds me a bit of Jonah. “Why go? They won’t listen to me.” I think we all see what you are saying, but our duty is not to convert, but to present the truth. It is the Holy Spirit’s job to stir the heart and conscience of men and to bring repentance. I hope you’ll join ORW and all pro-lifers in praying for that very thing.

Can somebody please help me with these scriptures. They seem to be at odds with some of the “christian post” on this thread.
2 Corinthians 2:14; Luke 10:19;
One of the things that sickens me about “prolife” are the clichays of defeat that justify ineffectual activity. If we are obedient to God’s word, we will be triuphant, and effective. Nowhere does he call us to stand in defeatism. That is why I am impressed with ORW. They are out to win, and by the by do!!!
If what you are doing is not working, quit doing it! And quit giving out the pewny excusses of failure. God does call us to be winners. So lets quit explaining away failure, re-access, learn from mistakes, and emulate those who have a mind set of victory. Psalm 149
