Troy, Believe it or not, I just came across the many kind and thoughtful comments on your site, which were written last year following our victory in the U.S. Supreme Court. I hope it isn’t too late to thank all those good people who wrote these touching remarks. And to Feminists for Lilfe, the answer is “yes,” it helped a lot to have some 75 organizations and individuals who represent other causes, on our list of supporters. It helped because it showed the justices how important free speech is to our cause as well as to theirs. In fact it was clear at the oral hearings that this was a First Amendment case, and even the justices began arguing our cause when that was clarified. Only wrinkle is the unbelievable fact that Judge David Coar as of this writing still has not signed a release, so technically yours truly is still a Convicted Federal Racketeer. But we hope that any day now he will sign the release and have this nonsense over with once and for all. In the Lord of Life, Joe Scheidler, Pro-Life Action League egrouops and >l

Thank God for the victory in the Scheidler case. We lost so many good warriors because of the abuse of power using RICO and the Hobbs act against pro-lifers. I am being sued (along with one other defendant) under a nuisance case law for protesting. I believe they would use RICO and the Hobbs Act on us if it weren’t for the efforts of O.R., P.L.A.N., and the ACLJ to fight the pro abortion efforts to take away our First Amendment rights. “One Nation Under God”. A victory in Jesus’ name.

Praise God! Joe Scheidler, Tim Murphy and Andy Scholberg have been heroes for a long time. When my sister and I sat in the Federal Court in Judge David Corr’s courtroom, we couldn’t believe we were in America. Joe, Tim and Andy reminded us of the early Christians sitting before a pagan court. But we know Who wins in the end! Thank you Joe, Tim and Andy. Love in Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Pat

Congratulations from Ireland.

Here in Ireland we don’t have your abortion concerns – yet! But, hopefully, we’ll continue to be on our guard.

Thanks be to Almighty God for a just decision which
protects the right of pro-lifers to peacefully defend those unborn babies who have no rights (…yet).

May God bless Joe Schiedler and Tom Brecha, OR and all of those co-defendents for their faithful perseverance, as well as those who have continued to witness to life’s sacredness outside the mills.

We pray that all of those who celebrate this decision do so out in the streets, especially at the places that kill the unborn and lie to women. Let us all pray for a greater courage to rescue the unborn according to Jesus example: “No greater love has man than this- to lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)

It’s about time! Twenty years ago…Molly Yard was still alive…F.A.C.E had not been passed…so much has happened. I wonder if it would have made any difference had Scheidler not had the sympathy of other activist groups such as P.E.T.A. . . .in any case, it’s a great victory for first amendment rights, and a relief.

Joe Scheidler is certainly to be thanked, praised, and emmulated for his patience and determination -I once heard a music teacher say that they are the same thing- in this…

And NOW is certainly to be spanked, razed, and immolated (as an organization) for its efforts to revive Nazism in America.

Perhaps this is a good sign that we at last have a Supreme Court that knows justice from injustice, heads from holes in the ground, etc…I hope so; if it is, in fact, the case-well, that, too, has been a long time coming, and thanks for its coming are also due to the likes of Scheidler, with no thanks to the likes of NOW.
