Ah, the pureness and goodness of abortion. On July 18, an abortionist who goes by the name of Beket blogged at Daily Kos that getting one is equivalent to attaining angelic status (bold highlights his):

[T]hey are kind of like in that old movie "It's a Wonderful Life," in which every time a bell rang an angel got his or her wings. … [F]or many a woman the experience of having an abortion is … often one way of claiming her wings – her wings of independence. … For many women abortion can be a transformational experience … one in which she is "born again."

So abortion mill workers, who help women become angels, must be so righteous one should wear sunglasses in their presence or risk being blinded by their radiance.

That's what feminists would have us think of the July 17 arrest of Gloria Gray, office manager of West Alabama Women's Center in Tuscaloosa. Reported Ms. Magazine:

… Gloria Gray was arrested when a group of anti-abortion protesters trespassed on her property. … Gray's attorney made the following statement, "… In Gloria's efforts to aid the police and to let them know that the extremists were trespassing on her property, she was arrested for asserting her rights. …"

Reported the Feminist Majority Foundation:

Around 120 protesters gathered, with some trespassing by entering the clinic's parking lot and standing on clinic property. Gloria Gray … phoned police to alert them of the activity. When police arrived … Gray went outside and spoke with police and one of Operation Save America's lead organizers, David Lackey. Outrageously, police ordered Gray to enter the clinic, despite the fact that she was rightfully on clinic property. When Gray refused to re-enter the clinic, police arrested her on misdemeanor charges.

Lackey and other protesters who trespassed on the clinic property, however, were not arrested or given citations by local police.

Oh, the injustice, the unfair treatment of police toward the Mother Teresa of abortion workers, aptly named Gloria, who was trying to single-handedly protect her mill from anti-abortion rioters while guiding police, apparently indeed blinded by her presence, to their location.

The Associated Press dedicated 51 words to Gray's arrest and 48 words to attempt to justify her behavior:

The Tuscaloosa clinic, located near the University of Alabama campus, has been a target of attacks through the years.

A man pleaded guilty last year to ramming his car into the clinic entrance, and an unsolved arson fire did about $100,000 in damage to the building in 1997.

This really isn't a big story, and it's not good for abortion PR. So I'm not surprised at the AP's spin or the Tuscaloosa News' milk toast treatment, which was simply, "Police said they did not have details about the incident."

But these sorts of incidents do interest me, partly because pro-abort misconduct and violence is so underreported, and also because I am so intrigued by the pro-abort mind, particular that of the mill worker.

WorldNetDaily actually spoke with a pro-lifer on the scene that day, Pat McEwen, who reported:

A local police officer, attempting to prevent an altercation, asked [Gray] to stop screaming, noting that the police did not want a disturbance.

"I will do what I want," the clinic director replied. "I will not obey you."

At that point, McEwan says, the policeman arrested the woman, handcuffed her, and drove her to the police station.

I contacted the pro-lifer actually involved in the altercation with Gray, David Lackey.

Lackey said he contacted Gray the week before to tell her Operation Save America planned to picket her mill. "She said she wished we wouldn't come but was cordial," he said.

"Then when I walked up," Lackey continued, "she was out front. The first thing she said was I was a liar. Then she started railing with the policemen and telling them she owned the clinic and wanted us out of there. The police officer told her to be quiet and not get into an argument with us. I started to respond and he told me the same. I stopped talking. He told us to leave and we left. Our signs weren't even out yet. Meanwhile, he warned Gray twice and then put her under arrest."

There are no other exciting details, but at least that's the complete who, what, where and when of this story.

The why?

Lackey told me he had previously met Gray on quite a few occasions to present the Gospel to her.

Which explains why Gray, repelled by the authentic Light, lost it.
