- Bobby Joe Rodgers, a homeless man with an extensive arrest record, has been arrested for and has admitted to setting fire to Steven Brigham’s abortion clinic in Pensacola, Florida. Rodgers told investigators he had an aversion to abortion.
- The Northern Illinois Women’s Center abortion clinic in Rockford, Illinois plans to reopen after being closed since September. Here’s a PDF of the final order which includes the complaint, NIWC’s plan of correction, etc. The final order shows NIWC had to hire a “new” (he’s probably around 75 years old) abortionist as an “Independent Contractor” who has privileges at the Methodist Hospital of Chicago and will work one day a week at NIWC. The other abortionists who work at NIWC don’t have surgical privileges at an Illinois hospital.
- The lawyers for abortionist/accused murder Nicola Riley want police and prosecutors in her case to be charged with contempt:
In the petition for contempt, Riley’s attorneys argue that details about the charges against her have appeared in more than 700 news articles, prejudicing her presumption of innocence and likely tainting the jury pool….
In the motion to unseal the indictment and set bail, Riley’s attorneys argue that the evidence against her is weak and that Maryland’s viable fetus law does not apply to her.
“Because Dr. Riley is a medical professional and because she provided lawful medical care to a patient, in this case, she is exempt from prosecution,” the motion says. “The facts of this case… and the express language of the statute run counter to the state’s bald assertion that this case is unique.”

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
ha her attorney is pulling at strings…
praying for good sense for the judges, juries, etc. involved in the case.
Re: the homeless man with an “aversion” to abortion, just one more reason to fear how far people will go to “protect life.”
I think the homeless guy was paid to try and burn down the clinic by the abortionist or associate of his to attempt to destroy evidence. Random homeless people who have been in the area don’t just get a wild hair to burn down a joint because of a simple “aversion”. Distaste has very rarely been impetus for destruction.
Xalisae that is a WILD acusation.
I know that abortionists, etc. have tried to cover up evidence in the past – and I really wouldn’t put it past them – but where is your proof? You can’t just go around saying things like that.
You have no idea what this homeless man may have been through in his life – why he is homeless in the first place – or why he has been arrested before – or why he would do this now.
He may be on drugs or have a mental disability or disorder that is unstable and untreated.
You simply do not know.
I never said I do know. I said “I think”. That means this is purely my speculation. I have a feeling that this is the case, in large part because abortionists DO have an extensive history of evidence covering once justice comes after them.
Don’t worry. If I had had hard evidence, I would’ve said, “I KNOW this guy paid this homeless dude to burn his joint down! Here, I’ll show you!”
Don’t get your panties in a wad over nothing.
Oh xalisae, I always forget how bitter and rude you are.
We cannot possibly call out the pro-aborts for basing their arguements on pure opinion and turn around and do the same.

Apparently he started out as a sidewalk protestor and moved up to violence. He’s certainly not the first one to take that route.
@Amber Currie
She can have an opinion on anything she wants it’s HER opinion “I think” she never claim it was a proven fact like most pro Choicers claim.
Did no one’s mothers teach them “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all?”
I don’t care if anyone has an opinion – but one as bold and accusing as one of the ones I see on this blog just need to be kept to their owners.
some of the ones*
Apparently he started out as a sidewalk protestor and moved up to violence. He’s certainly not the first one to take that route.
I read that he observed the sidewalk protesters, not that he was one of them.
And the guy spent time in prison for many things prior to this. Are you going to blame his other crimes on protesters as well?
@Amber Currie
“Did no one’s mothers teach them” ‘if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all?'”
Nope, she taught me not to let one person shut up another person just because they didn’t like what they had to say.
“but one as bold and accusing as one of the ones I see on this blog just need to be kept to their owners”
Why don’t you keep that opinion to yourself?
LOL!
:)
Are you going to blame his other crimes on protesters as well?
I didn’t blame this crime on the other protestors. In fact, news stories have said the case was solved with assistance from ‘tipsters,’ so I suspect (and hope) that at least some members of the Florida pro-life community decided that aiding the police in solving a violent crime was more important than guarding their brand image.
Oh xalisae, I always forget how bitter
I’m not bitter. I’m actually the happiest now I’ve ever been in my life. Trust me. Everything I say here I say while wearing a big smile.
and rude you are.
Don’t worry. You’ll learn one of these days. It just takes some people a little longer than others. ;)
We cannot possibly call out the pro-aborts for basing their arguements on pure opinion and turn around and do the same.
It’s not my argument. It’s my hunch that I think might’ve happened. If someone came up with facts of the matter which showed otherwise, I’d certainly concede their point and adopt the reality of the situation.
I read that he observed the sidewalk protesters, not that he was one of them.
Having observed is not the same as participation or affiliation. By your standards, Lisa C, I am a Superbowl champion.
@xalisae
And by my standards you’re awesome. :)
Thank you! You’re pretty cool yourself. ;)
When I first learned of the fire, I played a little game at trying to guess what the cause would be. Here was my ranking:
1) Natural cause (due to the fireworks, neglected leaves, and the investigator’s prelim failure to find accelerants).
2) Arson, paid for by the indicted abortionists, for insurance or for destruction of evidence or for sympathy.
3) Arson, by a wounded woman or father or grandparent who was hurt by the abortion activity.
4) Arson, by a mentally ill person attracted by the news of this abandoned abortion site.
It was the last item on my list. I’m not a great guesser.
I knew that, if the cause was arson, then the pro-abort media would do everything they could to blame it on pro-life activistism. That was a no-brainer.
I knew that it would not be a pro-life activist, because our movement is non-violent. [Every coupler-three years, an unstable person shows up with a gun and causes great damage to the pro-life movement. Pro-aborts continue to insist that our movement of millions is full of those border-line murderers. But pro-aborts would all be dead by now, if we really were revoltion-minded…. which was the point of the film GATES OF HELL.]
i love x and her comments! i always enjoy reading them. amber i dont have a thing against you but if you want to talk about rude you need to take a closer look at pro aborts.
and lisa c. didnt you liken abortion to “fetus porn” a few weeks back? you are as sick as they come. you can look at a dead baby and call it porn. you remind me of a girl i met in front of one of the abortion clinics. she stopped to talk to us for a minute. she told us she was there for an abortion ( not her first by her own admission ) and when we asked her why shed keep coming back for more abortions her sick sarcastic reply? ” i just like busting a nut ( slang for orgasm) but im not having a kid. she sneered and shrugged and walked into the clinic. you people are full of perversion.
Heather – just because most pro-aborts are rude and uncivil – and obviously in support of murder – doesn’t mean that there aren’t pro-lifers out there making things worse for everyone by acting just like them.
doesn’t mean that there aren’t pro-lifers out there making things worse for everyone by acting just like them.
Yeah, because things have been going smashingly for us thus far, until I showed up. Riiight. Sorry if I’m tired of the personal attacks, snide remarks, condescension, and vulgarity of their side met by nothing but shocked silence or “tsk, tsk” of our side. It’s time to fight fire with fire. Part of why this back-and-forth has been going on so unproductively for so long is that our side seems to have not the slightest inkling of how to interact or relate to their side on terms that will be met with more than just a snicker and Bevis And Butthead-esque “Heheheheheh, those guys believe in God and stuff. Like…yeah…like…keep your rosaries off my ovaries and stuff. Heheheheheheh.”
These people are my demographic, for the most part. I see nothing wrong with meeting them head-on and dishing back out everything I’m given by them.
I wasn’t refering only to you, X. I speak up against the other side when they treat others like crap, come up with bogus conspiracy theories, mock people childishly, etc. Both sides have people like that, and it’s truely a shame. We’re supposed to be the “good” guys.
nope i disagree amber. im going to treat them how they treat me. there was a girl named pip who used to come here. she got a great big aaaaawwwwwww when shed told everyone here shed converted. one of the pro lifers caught the little snake going to pro choice blogs mocking us and jills site. she was a big fat 2 faced liar and tolerance will get you no where with them.
if you want to be nice and sweet to em go ahead. i believe in that if they can be civil to me. i was never won by love. i used to be pro choice and that didnt work on me. i had to have blunt people all but smack me in the face with the truth. i did my own research about abortion and after looking at graphic abortion images and decide that i was turning my back on evil for good.
