Abortion Would Be Unavailable In 5 States If This Group Is Successful
http://www.care2.com/causes/abortion-would-be-unavailable-in-5-states-if-this-group-is-successful.htmlNorth Dakota. South Dakota. Wyoming. Arkansas. Mississippi. If Operation Save America has its way, all five states will be completely without access to an abortion clinic by the end of 2012.
God Discussions reports that beginning on January 22nd, the 39th anniversary of Roe V. Wade, the anti-choice group founded by Flip Benham will begin a targeted campaign to attempt to shut down clinics in states with only one abortion provider, effectively making them “abortion free states.”
According to cofounder, Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas, “Let the liberation of America begin and let the church of the living God lead the way, one state at a time. Operation: First Abortion Free State seeks to apply the axe of God’s truth to the root of this idolatrous tree (abortion) in the hopes that our Lord will hear from heaven, forgive our sins, and heal our broken, wounded land.”
Benham, a well-known anti-choice zealot, has been charged twice with “criminal stalking” of providers, as he and Operation Save America post “WANTED” posters both at providers offices and in their home neighborhoods.

Oh, and don’t forget the “aborted baby” funerals. “States of Refuge will lead a funeral procession and establish memorial services throughout the five states. A funeral procession carrying an aborted baby will travel through various cities of the five states and set up memorial services. At each city, we will call citizens, churches, and dignitaries to sign the Emancipation Proclamation for the Preborn Child. We will place these signatures on a scroll to unveil at the conclusion of the States of Refuge campaign
