Hope Abortion Clinic of Granite City's attorney Mark Levy, has applied for a restraining order against assembling and protesting on the sidewalk at the clinic, according to Daniel and Angela Michael of Small Victories Ministry.
Small Victories ministry is an organization of Christian volunteers who make a daily vigil to the abortion clinic to pray and counsel with those who are making a decision about the life of their unborn child. Angela Michael, a registered nurse, offers a free ultra-sound so the mother-to-be can see the baby she is making a decision to destroy or to keep. Angela says, "the baby is auditioning for his/her life."
Hope Abortion Clinic, a "for profit" business, has been highly agitated by the activity of the pro-life organizations since they began to assemble a number of years ago.
In January 2005, a former Madison County Judge ruled that the Michael family and others who go to the Clinic to pray for those who are contemplating abortion, had the right under the First Amendment to "stand outside and proclaim the truth."
Small Victories report for the week of May 7-13: 173 babies killed. 8 babies saved. Since July 2000 1778 babies have been saved and 22 babies have been adopted through Small Victories.
The hearing is set for Thursday, May 25 at 2:00 p.m. before Judge Lola Maddox at the Madison County Courthouse in Edwardsville.
