Video: Pro-life activists crash abortion group’s “Peace, Joy & Choice” fundraiser
12/21, 3:05p: YouTube has removed this video, but it is now available at Eyeblast. Also see below…
12/21, 7:52p: Less than a week after members of Randall Terry’s pro-life activist group Insurrecta Nex crashed NARAL’s “holiday” party in Washington, DC, on December 8, it did the same at DC Abortion Fund’s “Peace, Joy, and Choice Winter Holiday Party” on December 14. While the former was billed as a meet-up, the latter was a fundraiser…
Here’s video of the scene…
In its glowing recap of the event, DCAF didn’t mention the pro-life spoilers. The only acknowledgment came through tweets…
In the invitation shown above, DCAF should have clarified its funds help “low-income BLACK women” abort. As pro-abort Senator Dick Durbin acknowledged in a Senate hearing last year, the reason a staggering 41% of all preborn babies are aborted in the District of Columbia is because “a disproportionately large number of African Americans live in the District of Columbia.” So when DCAF celebrated afterward…
… most of the 71 babies it raised money to kill that night will be African-American.
Insurrecta Nex stated in its video that “a predominantly White organization raises funds to help kill babies in a predominately Black city.” This seemed apparent by all the Caucasian attendees noted in the video as well as the party photos DCAF posted.
But I thought I’d go a step further and check out those on Facebook who said they planned to attend the event. Of 245 respondents, I only spotted 1-3 blacks. See for yourself. Click to enlarge…
As a reminder: No justice, no peace.

I just posted this blog entry on my Facebook wall. I have often wondered if we redirect the focus of the abortion issue from a woman’s right to choose to it being a race issue if more people would be willing to fight for the unborn. Bound4Life has some statistics on the abortion rates of white women and black women. It is staggering to think that the black population make up about 13% of our total population in America, yet 49 out of every 1000 black women have abortions compared to 13 out of every 1000 white women. That is disgusting and something needs to be done about that.
This just infuriates me! Why don’t they raise money so poor women and girls can have their babies? Why don’t they offer to pay the bill of a poor pregnant woman so that she doesn’t feel she must kill her baby? Why is it that the only help they ever give is money to kill children of the poor? Its this elitist mentality of the abortion that just irks me! They are always trying to provide money so black women can abort. And they do the same with poor women. Note to poor women and minorities… the pro-choice advocates are actively working to ensure you abort your children and don’t reproduce! Racist, elitist murderers.
So why did they throw fetal models of WHITE babies on the floor?
Ok, really, now…What do they mean by ”Abortion CARE” ???
So there really was a hanger on the word wallet?? For real?
Hang up the tired wire hanger already. Good grief.
Cranky, I thought of that, too. I wonder if there are no black plastic fetal models for sale? There absolutely should be.
Heritage House has them.
Why don’t they offer to pay the bill of a poor pregnant woman so that she doesn’t feel she must kill her baby?
Because it’s more realistic to raise money for an abortion that it is to raise money for 18 years of childcare? I don’t know. I do know that pro-choice organisations often advocate for alleviating the systemic issues that poor women face–things like improving access to childcare and health care. Personally I’ve been making baby items for my nieces, but as they get older I may start doing so for charity instead. Maybe it’s not much, but it is something I can do that helps both me and them.
Killing is more realistic.
Awesome.
Cranky – thanks for the info.
@Jayn – you said, “Because it’s more realistic to raise money for an abortion that it is to raise money for 18 years of childcare? “ It was more realistic for the Nazi’s to march the Jews into gas chambers then try to house them all in camps. Jeepers, that was a grand idea, wasn’t it? I’m curious about something because you never responded to my questions in another thread. I wonder if you will be willing answer me now. You seem to advocate abortion as a viable choice for women. Okay, fine. How do you reconcile your belief that abortion is good for women with the testimonies from post-abortive women across the globe who have said their abortion(s) caused irrevocable damage to them physically and/or emotionally? Please, I’m genuinely interested in your thoughts on that.
I’m glad to see A-A fetal models but, as the parent of two A-A children and one biracial child (AA/CC) my experience is that newborns do not have much of a melanin content. it takes a couple of weeks for a more true skin tone to develop and skin tone may continue to darken for over a year. This is particularly my experience with my older daughter, who has a beautiful dark skin tone. In her hospital photos (at two days old) you can hardly even tell it’s her because her skin has not darkened! So i have no idea how skin tone would be affected in a fetus.
Brandolyn: No one has the same response to everything. Some women don’t regret their abortions. Some do. Some will be physically harmed by the procedure, but all medical procedures have risks. So does pregnancy.
I can’t tell you what is the best option for any one woman. For some it will be abortion. For others it will be to carry to term. All I can do–all I hope to do–is lay out all the options and let the woman choose the one she thinks is best for her. After that, I am willing to help her achieve whichever option she picks.
Abortion is murdering one’s own child and as such is never a real option.
Just because some women don’t face the truth of their abortions until later, doesn’t mean they don’t regret it. And if some do regret it right away and some don’t regret it until later, does that mean that murder is OK? Serial killers like John Wayne Gacy didn’t regret murder, only getting caught. So, should we look the other way because murder is their choice and maybe it was the best outcome for the victims? What is the difference between murdering a helpless child and murdering a full grown adult? Is it open season on children but illegal to murder adults? It seems so, doesn’t it.
If the adult was living in my uterus, I’d consider getting rid of him too. Through lethal force, if necessary.
What if you put the adult there Jayn.
Insurrecta Nex stated in its video that “a predominantly White organization raises funds to help kill babies in a predominately Black city.” This seemed apparent by all the Caucasian attendees noted in the video as well as the party photos DCAF posted.
Gee, that’s mighty white of them! I encourage everyone who can afford to do so to give a generous year-end gift to their local CPC to help reach out to vulnerable women.
@EH In her hospital photos (at two days old) you can hardly even tell it’s her because her skin has not darkened!
My daughter is half-white, half African American, and when she was born I almost thought they gave me the wrong baby, she was so pale! She did get a bit darker, but she’s mistaken for everything from Egyptian to Portuguese.
“If the adult was living in my uterus, I’d consider getting rid of him too. Through lethal force, if necessary”
—————-
Then again….it’s a fetus living and growing in the womb…not an adult.
And what does fetus mean? …a little one or a youngling…in this case a small, human…
And who allowed the sperm that fertilized your egg inside you in the first place?
@Jayn, you are right. Some women don’t regret their abortions. Others don’t realize it until years later that they have regretted it their whole lives. So, why don’t we do more education on the possible affects of abortion? Why are abortionists telling their patients that they may have life-long side affects including depression and anxiety? If you are going to be pro-choice, will you not also be pro-education? You see, Jayn, I’m not afraid of the facts like pro-aborts are. I fully believe that if we honestly educated women on the risks they will CHOOSE differently. So, how come I haven’t read one post where you advocated for better education in this realm, but instead you make inflammatory remarks about yanking things from your uterus? Just wondering… I mean, it takes the conversation to a different level with comments like that, don’t you think?
Hmm, people here talk all the time about killing babies and yanking them apart, yet I make one comment about removing something from where it most certainly doesn’t belong (in response to a question no less), and I’m being inflammatory? I sense a double standard here.
As far as your question, sure, lets educate women about the physical risks of abortion. And of pregnancy. And the various types of birth control. When it comes to regrets though–everything has the potential for regret. I regret my last year of university. But that doesn’t mean there’s something inherently wrong with higher education, just that I made the wrong choice for myself. That’s why I want women to be free from coercion (from EITHER side) when making these choices. If women make these decisions because they honestly want to, not because they feel they have to, I believe we’ll see fewer women with these regrets.
@Jayn, I personally have not seen a comment like that from anyone else. Maybe I’ve missed them in the past, but I am relatively new to this blog. So, perhaps it’s true that others have made similar comments and have not been called out on it. Nevertheless, you did make a comment that is clearly for the purpose of inflaming the conversation and not to add to its legitimacy, therefore I felt it necessary to mention it.
As to the education of women on the risks of abortion versus pregnancy, are you to suggest that abortion carries fewer risks than does a pregnancy? I’d like to hear your argument on the risks of pregnancy versus abortion. Please know suggestions that stretchmarks are a complication to pregnancy will not be entertained.
No, lets educate women about the growing child in their womb. Ultrasounds save lives! 90% of women that view their child with an ultrasound Choose Life! Of course that does put a little wrench in Big Abortion’s pocket book, which is why they fight tooth and nail over ultrasound legislation.
Seeing is believing.
Killing my own child through abortion is unlike ANY other regret in my life, Jayn.
Brandon: I’m not doctor, and I’m not going to get into what option has more risks or anything like that. But women have the right to choose which risks they want to take. That’s why informed consent is so important in medicine (unfortunately, it often doesn’t work out like it should. Doctors are human too, and they have their own biases which too often affects this).
@Jayn…you opened the door on the discussion of education between pregnancy and abortion with this comment: “As far as your question, sure, lets educate women about the physical risks of abortion. And of pregnancy.” And your previous comment of: “Some will be physically harmed by the procedure, but all medical procedures have risks. So does pregnancy.” Suddenly now you’ve drawn a blank on what the risks are? That’s disappointing, Jayn.
@Carla, indeed ultrasounds do save lives! More than 90% of women who have seen their baby in utero have chosen to keep their child. This is precisely the reason I support 4US (http://www.4us.org)! Check out their website and see if there might be an event nearby or possibly a way you can initiate your own.
Thank you always for sharing your story – you can never know just how many lives you touch. May God continue to bless your quest to assist others in their own healing processes.
A very joyous and blessed Christmas to everyone and may you each find health and happiness in the New Year. I will remember you all at Christmas Mass!
Brandolyn–I’m not going to get into a deep discussion on a topic that I’m not well-versed in, and I don’t think the particulars are relevant to this discussion anyways. I could dig up examples–I just don’t see the point.
It’s not about whether something bad might happen–something bad might always happen. A meteor might strike me a minute from now. It’s about weighing the potential consequences of one decision against the potential consqeuences of another, and then making a decision based on your desired outcome and personal comfort level. Two people in the exact same situation might make different decisions. And neither of them would be wrong.
The point is, Jayn, you make assertions that are untrue or lack factual basis and then operate under those untrue claims as if they are accurate. It creates an atmosphere that is not conducive to discussion or debate. Your premise is that abortion and pregnancy are equally risky and therefore women should be entitled to deem for themselves which set of risks to assume. I disagree with your first claim and have requested you provide proof to support it. By your own admission, you are not “well-versed” in this, so let me share with you what I found.
Earlier this month the CDC came out with a report saying that maternal deaths have increased since 1979 from 11 to 14.5. Meaning, for every 100,000 live births there were 14.5 women who perished because of pregnancy related complications. So, you are right. Pregnancy does carry some risk.
Did you know that a study was done in Finland over the course of 13 years? Here are some of the points from that study:
Compared to women who have not been pregnant in the prior year, deaths from suicide, accidents and homicide are 248% higher in the year following an abortion, according to a new 13-year study of the entire population of women in Finland.
The suicide rate among women who had abortions was six times higher than that of women who had given birth in the prior year and double that of women who had miscarriages.
This next point is so interesting, I hope you will pay attention to it:
While the risk of death from suicide, accidents, and homicide was highest among women who had abortions within the prior year, the risk of death was lowest among women who gave birth within the prior year, who had less than half the death rate of women who had not been pregnant. The risk of death following a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, however, did not significantly differ from the risk of death among non-pregnant women.
So, it seems Jayn, if a woman finds herself with child, her greatest chance for survival is to give birth. Here are the links for you to review: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/210323.php

Earlier this month the CDC came out with a report saying that maternal deaths have increased since 1979 from 11 to 14.5. Meaning, for every 100,000 live births there were 14.5 women who perished because of pregnancy related complications.
And I’d take those numbers with a grain of salt. The CDC classifies and has classified many deaths that were due to abortions gone awry as “pregnancy related” because the patient happened to be pregnant at the time.
Brandolyn, way to keep up with facts! Jayn sounds (from the rhetoric she repeats) young and the problem with being young is perspective. I was in so much denial about the negative effects of my abortion, I think I should thank God daily there was no internet back then. I shudder to think what kind of crazy rationale I’d have written that would sit there for all humanity to see.
The regret that comes with abortion is in a class by itself. I don’t regret my appendectomy or my wisdom tooth extraction, though both of those two experiences were quite unpleasant. I hope that some abortion advocates who are young will take the opportunity to crash some of our events in the coming year, peacefully of course. You see, Jayn, you are being told a lot of lies by the abortionists who want your money. One of those lies is that we hate women and want to control them by turning them into brood mares. If you came to a pro-life event and sat very quietly, and waited for the reveal of the hate-women agenda, you’d leave empty handed. We don’t secretly work toward an anti-woman agenda. Come and find out for yourself if you like. Or just look around the interwebs. Check out every single comment on Jill Stanek’s site for the past year. Where are all the anti-women posts? Where are all the anti-women comments? If we are truly anti-woman it is the best kept secret in the history of kept secrets, haha!
And this relativism you embrace: nothing is wrong? Then I’m coming over tonight to steal your car and your credit cards. It’s ok with me, so you should accept my relative morality. Right?
@xalisae, I don’t dispute your claim about the CDC, I just don’t know that to be the case. Do you have something to show your assertion? Thanks.
@Ninek, I believe wholeheartedly that it will be from the testimony of post-abortive women that will turn the tide on abortion. The pro-life movement is pro-woman and the anti-life movement is anti-woman. I believe that – I’ve experienced that.
@Jayn, I don’t know your age or your educational background, I’m not afraid of having a dialogue with you about this issue because I am confident from reading your posts you are vastly misled and uniformed. Please do not take that as an insult – I don’t mean it as such. In future posts what I hope you will know from me is I will call them like I see them, I will always – always - tell you the truth, and I will support my statements with facts. I hope you have a wonderful evening! =)
Hopefully Jayn will see that I’m only joking about stealing cars. I’m using hyperbole to make a point: if morality is relative, what would stop anyone from stealing anything that’s not nailed down?
But I know from the gravity and the unrelenting nature of this regret that abortion is a kind of wrong apart from all other wrongs. No one told me to feel bad. In fact, the messages I kept getting were to just have a few drinks and get on with my life. The regret built on itself over time, as I watched children grow and develop that were the same age as mine should have been. It was the child’s absence that fanned the flames of remorse, not some shouting pro-life caricature.
@Ninek – Your comment, “It was the child’s absence that fanned the flames of remorse,” is hauntingly beautiful (the wording of it, I mean). I’ve heard similar stories from other post-abortive women. One woman told me not too long ago that she had to move her kitchen table over to the wall so it no longer looked like it sat 4 people because the empty chair was a stinging, heart-wrenching reminder that someone wasn’t there. She had her abortion 20 years ago, and still in little ways it pops up. That’s why it seems so clear to me that you women suffer from PTSD, or a type of it. What do you think?
If Randall Terry is so concerned about empowering people of color, why are there only white guys yelling at all those women?
Brandolyn, I think some of us definitely suffer a post-traumatic stress, post abortive syndrome, whatever you call it. It manifests in so many ways. I was afraid, afterward, of all medical persons, even dentists. I turned away from pregnant women on a regular basis. That’s so sad, that a woman would move her table. But I can imagine it. Fortunately, there is healing. And I’ve been lucky to meet other women in the same situation. It has truly helped.
Jill, the video’s been taken down.
Man, I wanted to see it. :-/
I was disturbed by this and the NARAL party-crash videos. It took me a while to discern what exactly was so disturbing, because my strong pro-life views make it difficult to not be angry with groups that promote the killing of innocents. That’s when I realized what was bothering me: The videos were full of not just anger, but hate. Hate for the *sinner* and not the *sin*. There was a clear undercurrent of “Jesus loves you – but I don’t, you filthy, degenerate, sick SOBs!”
Unfortunately, abortion is still legal in the United States. That means that members of those groups are confused – they’ve been convinced they’re doing a *good* thing. When angry “christians” storm their fancy parties and dump crap on the floor, NOT A SINGLE ONE is going to think, “Oh, Jesus, what have I done?” but rather, “Christians are sanctimonious @-holes who can’t get enough of telling others how evil they are! Let’s work twice as hard to liberate women!”
If you want a stark contrast against this type of activism, check out:
http://www.liveactionfilms.org/
Where a (14-year old) girl gets her Planned Parenthood counselor to promise not to turn in her 31-year old boyfriend. (which is a felony, btw)
Oh, and since they’re a bunch of scruffy-looking white guys, not only does it not *help*, but it makes me suspect that they do it for thrill – as if the abortion issue is only an excuse to go out, piss people off, crash a party, and get 5 minutes of fame on YouTube. I think they’ve been watching too much Jackass on MTV…
I’m actually glad those videos aren’t on YouTube, because I do find them offensive – to Christians and those who support the Pro-Life movement through hard work, diligence, and prayer – instead of denigrating, disparaging, and damning our opponents with “drive-by” tactics.
To My Fellow Christians,
First, I am the one in the video, and I am the one who made the video.
@Cranky Catholic
I was the one who thought of using the 12 week Fetal Models.
I am sorry that I did not have time to buy “black” fetal models nor the money, since I am a missionary and live off of donations. I would have rather used them.
@RosaryJim (You never mentioned the murdered babies, WHY?)
I am hurt that you would accuse me of hating those people. Jim why do you slander me? When it is you who HATE your brother and the innocent by holding tongue. STOP SINNING!! Repent, apologize to all and to God for the sake of your soul.
Think about this passage in light of what I did.
Leviticus 19:16-17
16 “‘Do not go about spreading slander among your people.
“‘Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor’s life. I am the LORD.
Furthermore, All that I said was true in that video. The problem Jim is focus. Jim you are a common example of people in this country who focus on the criminals and their feelings and forget about the victims, murdered babies, (What about their feelings?). Who has the priority? Let me make it clear.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE KILLERS, “PRO-ABORTS,” IT IS ABOUT THE BABIES And Justice For Them.
Rosary Jim when is it necessary to suspend normal manners?
I am working to stop the brutal murder of innocent babies, directly acting to change the law first and foremost. Changing the law will save the most babies, and I work on this as if it were my own life that was in danger. I work to change the law with urgency, because my soul is in actual danger! “Do to other as you would have them do to you.” “He knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it to him it is sin.”
Test my logic.
If my brother/neighbor is a baby/fetus and I am commanded to love him, and abortion is murder, and I am to act as if it were my own life then what is an appropriate response?
Job 28:28
And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”
James 2:15-17
15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in
peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the
same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
It is not about me Jim. I am hated by even “Christians” like you. I don’t need the thrill of going to jail or any of the fines. I don’t need attention. I need, like every Christian is commanded, to speak the Truth, so I am not guilty of sin, so my faith is not dead. Read what the Apostle Paul had to say.
Titus 1:12-14
12 One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy
gluttons.”[c] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be
sound in the faith 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human
commands of those who reject the truth.
Did the Apostle Paul hate the sinner’s or the sin?
Was it attention getting, was it for the thrill, was it to make a name for himself when the Apostle Paul rebuked his spiritual authority the Apostle Peter? Do you think he was creating a scandal? Or that the Apostle Peter was happy? Was the sinner’s feelings or the victim and justice more important?
Galatians 2:11
11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood
condemned.
Public sin, publicly rebuked. And this is in your Bible and God approved.
And remember what the Lord your God has said and why I have spoken what I have spoken.
Ezekiel 3:17-20+27
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 18 When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for[b] their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 19 But if you do warn the wicked person and they do not turn from their wickedness or from their evil ways, they will die for their sin; but you will have saved yourself.
20 “Again, when a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before them, they will die. Since you did not warn them, they will die for their sin. The righteous things that person did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 21 But if you do warn the righteous person not to sin and they do not sin, they will surely live because they took warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
27 But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says.’ Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.
Jim you falsely claim to care about these “sinners,” but you will not confront them on their sin or warn them. You tell us, you love them while your silence condemns them to hell. This is evidence that you are more concerned with your reputation than doing God’s will. You are selfish and self-serving and slander those who warn them, the ones who are loving them and are doing as Paul, God, and even Jesus Christ has commanded us to do for the sake of everyones’ soul.
Finally, I rebuke you Jim and all who are under the spirit of hatred toward humanity, fellow Christians, God’s Laws and God Himself. Repent, be reconciled to God, seek the forgiveness of your Christian brothers and then go forth and be a witness to Jesus Christ proclaiming the Truth to all as in Philippians 1, rather than being found guilty by God and cast into hell.
Please, repent and apologize to me for you soul’s sake. I love you brother, and I forgive you. You must know what true love is.
God Bless you for wanting good, and may God open your eyes to true love, so that you may do great deeds for his Kingdom.
A Sinner Saved By Grace,
Andrew R. Beacham
