(LifeSiteNews.com) – A group of pro-life activists who were prevented
from delivering a letter to the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s office
this morning demanding the release of the bodies of Kermit Gosnell’s
victims for burial, say they are now prepared to engage in civil
disobedience to ensure that the babies killed by Gosnell are treated
with dignity.
Despite warning the Medical Examiner ahead of time that they were planning on delivering the letter, when the pro-life activists approached the door, staff in the building locked the door, and called the police.
Now Bryan Kemper of Stand True Ministries and Priests for Life
tells LifeSiteNews.com that he and several other pro-life leaders are
planning a rally and prayer vigil, called The Cry for Dignity, on
Sunday, August 25, followed by peaceful civil disobedience the following
morning.
According to Kemper, at least 25 activists will kneel down in
front of the doors of the Medical Examiner’s building on the Monday
morning, each holding a sign with the name of one of Gosnell’s victims.
“We will not leave, until they release them, or arrest us,” he said.
When investigators raided Gosnell’s “House of Horrors” clinic
in 2010, they were shocked to find the mangled bodies of babies frozen
and stored in a variety of containers, including milk jugs, cat food
cans, and even a cherry lime-ade container.
Please keep those phones call and letters to the ME’s office coming. We must all do our part to see that these innocent little babies receive the decency of a burial, just as everyone else. I for one, can’t understand why the ME’s office will not give these babies up for burial?
