A lawsuit has been filed over an abortion facility which opened in a residential neighborhood in Rockford, Illinois.
The Thomas More Society is challenging a special use zoning permit that was granted to RFD Family Planning, owned by abortionist Dennis Christensen. Christensen had previously retired, but returned to committing abortions after Roe v. Wade was overturned in June of 2022. Christensen’s decision to come out of retirement after the fall of Roe made headlines; he had been filmed years prior sifting through a baby’s dismembered body parts (warning: graphic) after a second-trimester abortion in the documentary, “Lake of Fire.” The day Christensen’s new facility opened, a woman was arrested for assaulting pro-lifers there.

In a press release, the Thomas More Society explained that residents of the area were not happy about the facility’s opening.
“An abortion clinic in the middle of a residential neighborhood would be a problem under any circumstances,” Thomas More Society Vice President and Senior Counsel Peter Breen said. “But it is especially egregious in this situation. This abortionist has already been run out of town previously, having had his facility shut down over 10 years ago by the Illinois Department of Health, because of the risks he posed to the safety and health of area women. The residents of Rockford didn’t want him practicing in their town then and they don’t want him selling abortions in their neighborhood now.”
While Christensen brushed off the lawsuit as “the same old thing” in an interview with WIFR, Breen pointed out that, even for abortion supporters, an abortion facility in your backyard is not desirable.
“Abortion clinics are known for bringing disturbances, loud protests and counterprotests, as well as decreases in nearby property values and significant traffic impacts,” Breen said. “Opening such a facility in a residential area not zoned for commercial use would significantly impede residents’ ability to live quiet, peaceful lives. The proposed use for this property should be independently reviewed because of its unique characteristics, traffic impacts, and effects on the surrounding community.”
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are four individuals who all live within 1200 feet of the abortion facility. “If the people want to continue to have the service available, tell them its none of their business,” Christensen said in response to the lawsuit. “Stay out of my business, and I’ll stay out of yours.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: What is behind the current war against America’s children? Why are so many adults killing their unborn children right up to the moment of birth, or even after? Why are millions of kids sexualized virtually from birth, and injected with an experimental “vaccine” proven to be both ineffective and dangerous, then as toddlers transported to events glorifying mentally ill, demonically possessed men dressed as women?
Why are America’s children systematically sexualized at school, and by transgender recruiters on social media platforms like TikTok, seducing many into “identifying” as the opposite gender, or a brand-new imaginary gender, then encouraged to take powerful drugs and hormones and have their healthy breasts amputated or undergo chemical or surgical castration?
Why are our children simultaneously indoctrinated with toxic Marxist ideologies like “critical race theory” intended to condition them to hate and reject their own country, parents, faith, race, gender and themselves? Why are they simultaneously being frightened of the future by being fed lurid, terrifying – and groundless – apocalyptic tales of the imminent destruction of the world due to global warming?
No wonder youth suicides have skyrocketed, as have depression, anxiety, addiction and drug overdoses. Indeed, fentanyl, the No. 1 cause of death of younger Americans 18 to 45, destroys multitudes of children annually.
Make no mistake: The harm being done to America’s children in this multi-front war is not accidental: Children are the primary target.
WHY? How can all this be happening in the greatest nation on earth? Who and what is behind it? And HOW CAN IT BE STOPPED?
