Pro-lifers picket beautiful Florida home of Planned Parenthood abortionist
Philip F. Waterman is a circuit riding abortionist for Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando, Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida, and Planned Parenthood of Collier County.
Waterman also operates his own chop shop in Cape Coral.
Waterman is obviously a busy baby killer.
And baby killing has been very, very good to Waterman.
For one thing it has paid for his beautiful waterfront home overlooking the Gulf of Mexico in Ft. Myers…
And so abortion is something about which Waterman should be reminded and his neighbors made aware.
Hence, the pro-life picket by 20 activists on January 8, which Waterman happened to drive by.
In this well-produced video by activist Jay Rogers you’ll meet Waterman, be impressed by an astute, young pro-lifer, and hear testimony from snowbirding Chicago pro-life activist and friend Jim Finnegan on the value of picketing the homes of abortionists…

i personally have never picketed an abortionists home but i know people who do. im okay with it. expose them!
This exactly the type of person who should be targeted with graphic images. Everywhere, everyday until he sees the light.
I used to think these picketers were wasting their time, but I agree with the man in the video. He said, and I paraphrase, that eventually the protesters have an impact on the way the abortionists perceive their crimes against God and man. I think his actual words were. “…it gnaws at them…”. How could it not? To continue in their crimes, the abortionists have to believe that they are not committing murder, but eventually the truth is very persuasive.
Shame that such a beautiful home was paid for with blood money.
I went to the website of his practice. Interesting how he lists Plan B under “abortion services”, not under his gynecology services…
ive read plenty of stories about abortionists being sexual deviants alcoholics drug abusers. they have gambling addictions. is that any wonder? looking at dead bloody baby parts every day takes a toll. they are robbed of their peace. dont be fooled by a beautiful home. it doesnt impress me at all. how many babies did he have to murder for the down payment?
I’m not so sure the graphic photos and picketers will influence this abortionist to stop the killing. For some, yes. Reading the testimonies on abortionfacts.com (I’m pretty sure that’s the site) is very sobering. Many have crossed over to the pro-life side, thankfully. But then you read actual quotes from docs saying “yeh, I know I’m killing for a living”, etc. After all, these abortionists put body parts, chopped up and all in buckets and throw away as waste. They do this for a living. I really think they’ve become immune to it. I don’t mean to sound as if I’m not hopeful. I just think some walk around with a deadened conscience and will not change their ways.
Saint Paul was a hardened Christian killer until his conversion. Take heart. Nothing is impossible for God.
There is a biblical law principle behind the idea of confronting murderers in the gated communities that harbor them. Because God cares so much about life he had the Israelites build three cities of refuge at equal distances from each other where someone who had killed another man by accident could flee. He could wait there until the elders (judges) were able to adjudicate his innocence, otherwise he was in danger of being unjustly killed by a family member seeking revenge. The “blood avenger” was allowed in Israel as a way of meting out justice.
The question also arose as to what would happen if the man was found guilty of premeditated murder and the city of refuge was still harboring him. This is how God described what to do in that instance.
“But if anyone hates his neighbor, lies in wait for him, rises against him and strikes him mortally, so that he dies, and he flees to one of these cities, then the elders of his city shall send and bring him from there, and deliver him over to the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you” (Deut 19:11-13).
There are several reasons why we don’t apply the laws concerning the blood avenger and the cities of refuge under the New Covenant. However, there is still a principle that applies here. Modern gated neighborhoods harbor doctors who kill babies for a living. There is a curse of bloodguiltiness on the nation, state, city and the neighborhood that knows about this and does nothing to judge the murderer in a court of civil justice.
Even though a neighborhood cannot turn abortionists as accused murderers over to our civil courts in 2012 America, the neighbors of the abortionist are under a curse if they continue in idleness and ease, while they know a cold-blooded murderer is given a safe haven behind property lines with the protection of local police. If they do not join with us and witness against the murderer, then they share some of his blood guilt.
We not only put pressure on the abortionist, but on his Christian neighbors who are pro-life with their lips, but sit at ease in their homes refusing to confront their neighbor in his crime.
So in fact, this is not so much a picket of a home as it is a “neighborhood awareness campaign.” In the absence of civil justice, we are calling on the Christians of the community to work for the murderers conversion to Christ.
It does persuade them. They know what they’re doing. They see the little broken arms and legs in their hands every day when they scrape these babies from their mother’s wombs. Why should they be able to go home to their huge homes and try and forget what they did that day? Let them see it again and again. Let them know people are out there informing their neighbors of the blood on their hands.
But also, lets not forget to pray for these abortionists. Many of them have repented and left child killing. “Meet the Providers” tells a lot of these stories.
I’ve never picketed an abortionists house, but I have had a peaceful protest outside of a senators house here in Jersey for another issue - it was a candle light vigil we stood in a line with our candles and sang songs.
We got premission from the police to do so before hand and made sure we knew all of our rights and the laws – like we couldn’t go onto her property but we could stand on the edge of the street (no sidewalks there).
She was home but she never came outside, sadly.
@Jay, I understand that we as Christians should not stand idly by. I do not disagree with the picketing and showing of the photos. My belief is that many abortionists will not repent, just as accused murderers/serial killers go to their deaths not repenting. Many abortionists have, thanks be to God. We Americans, not always through any fault of our own, as consumers support companies that fund and support Planned Parenthood. When I found out that Trader Joe’s gives $ to PP, I stopped shopping there.
Well, Jay is going to present in a few hundred words why he thinks we should confront murderers.
I’ll give me view in a few hundred less words:
“Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone” Col 4 5-6
Ex –
“You brood of vipers.” “White washed tombs… filled with dead men’s bones”
Jesus, the Christ – Mt 23
It is appropriate to confront gross sin and expose the heinous acts of these serial killers for what they are. Their neighbors deserve to know the truth. I would want to know.
One of my dearest friends is a former abortionist for Planned Parenthood. I prayed for her when she was aborting, but I also protested her, and confronted the Catholic health system she was affiliated with. I believe it is possible to confront these people with their sin without cursing them.
Amy -
Before your second paragraph, I would put “In my opinion”. I also wonder what other behaviors we should let neighbors know about? Affairs? Drunken behavior? Slander? Gossip?
Looking at Matthew 23, that whole chapter is about the Pharisees, who we knew were more about regulations than love.
I’m just saying, if the goal is abortion over Christ – picket away.
If the goal is Christ first – then I just don’t see it.
I know not everyone on this board or on the pro-life side is a Christian, so folks can justify it however they want. I know sign waving Christians have a few thousand pages of the Bible to pull passages to support what they do…again, in my opinion, it just isn’t right.
Ex-GOP,
Your view is only valid if you take a few verses in the Gospel uttered by Jesus, the “words in red,” and ignore the whole counsel of scripture. You also quote (oddly enough) the Apostle Paul, but not in the context of exposing sin. While I don’t want to get into a proof texting war here, Paul is also the one who wrote:
“Have nothing to do with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather expose them” (Ephesians 5:11).
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving,unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them” (Romans 1:28-31).
Yes, scripture commands Christians to reprove sin wherever it exists, in ourselves, in the church and in the world. It is true that if we are not full of grace and light and led by the Holy Spirit when we seek to “reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8) then we will stand in our own self-righteousness and be judged as hypocrites. But certainly it is our job to judge once we have “removed the beam from our own eye” (Mt. 7:5) as we seek to be reconciled to all men as brothers and sisters in Christ.
I don’t believe we can know if a person can never repent. Only God knows. Only God gives the gift of repentance. We must always act as though it were possible to bring all people to repentance. Of course, repentance is meaningless if we do not first speak of the Law of God and our sin against a holy God.
Ex-GOP, I don’t suppose though that you stand for biblical inerrancy of the authority of the whole Bible from what I read in your last comment, so perhaps this is a waste of time unless we first address your need for repentance in that area.
Wow. A few thousand dead babies’ blood on your hands sure buys a lot of mansion. He must have another job that he gets paid a lot for, because if I am to believe people like abortiongangs or abortioneers, abortionists make next-to-nothing, live off mac and cheese, and do abortions out of the kindness of their hearts just because they believe in it and “trust women”.
Exgop,
I’m thinking that if you spend half the time working to save innocent preborn babes that you do admonishing and correcting other prolifers on this blog alone,
you must be incredibly busy and doing a ton of great work.
If you feel the need to take the time and be the contrarian conscience for ideas here, fine. Totally fine. I’m just hoping you back it up with tons of love and effort… and that moms, dads, and babies are benefiting from you in spades.
We wouldn’t want to become our own clanging gong, now would we?
Mary Ann,
He really doesn’t care, or else he wouldn’t vote for and align himself with pro-abortion politicians.
mary ann and x…….seems to me that you 2 had the ability to spot a total fake as did i ;)
heather/x/Mary Ann -
If you truly believe that Jesus calls people to win them over to Christ by picketing their homes – then I simply don’t agree with you. I’m not saying this mentality is not unheard of – Fred Phelps and his gang believe the exact same thing. I just can’t find the Biblical support for it.
And when given a verse to support – you three lash out…which again, I think says more about you than it does about me.
Jay – what I mean by my last statement is that all sort of nutjobs through time have pulled verses here and there to support evil activities.
If you believe that Paul, in Ephesians, is speaking to the church that they should print up signs and shame their neighbors (as opposed to him speaking about not covering up sin within the church), then I’ll have to disagree with you.
Ex-GOP,
I do know that scripture requires us to “cry out” in the streets in any way we can whenever innocent blood is being shed. It does not necessarily means we MUST carry signs, but signs, banners, pageants, icons, etc have always been used throughout history by Christians to proclaim the Gospel in the streets.
I am NOT saying Christians MUST carry signs, only that we must speak out in some way against child murder.
You seem to be saying it is UNBIBLICAL to warn Waterman’s neighbors that a child killer is among them and to think that they too have a responsibility to speak out against the shedding of innocent blood by a member of their community.
You seem to be saying that speaking out in this particular manner (with signs) is a “nut job … evil activity.”
Is that what you are saying?
I’m not going to make a complete blanket statement and say that Christians should never cry out in regards to sin. Certainly, doing whatever one could to warn against somebody like Hitler – I would have no problem with that.
My statement was pretty simple I believe – “I’m just saying, if the goal is abortion over Christ – picket away. If the goal is Christ first – then I just don’t see it.”
Certainly (and I don’t want to make assumptions), I think you and I would agree that Fred Phelps and his little group are not preaching the gospel in an efficient manner.
That’s all I’m saying – if winning souls to Christ (which I think is the only way to ultimately defeat abortion) is the goal, then I think this is a horrible way to do it.
If the goal is trying to shut down the abortion industry – well, a lot more things are allowed, and while I think this tactic is debatable, again, if that is the ultimate goal (over winnings souls to Christ) – by all means, go for it.
“I also wonder what other behaviors we should let neighbors know about? Affairs? Drunken behavior? Slander? Gossip? ”
If these behaviors are leading to the death of innocent people, darn right we better be letting their neighbors know about them.
“That’s all I’m saying – if winning souls to Christ (which I think is the only way to ultimately defeat abortion) is the goal, then I think this is a horrible way to do it.”
Do you think showing pictures of the Holocaust victims to people while the Holocaust was going on would have been a bad thing? Should people have worried about saving the souls of the murderers and Nazis before saving the innocent people’s lives?
If you don’t become worried about the state of your soul after seeing photos of people that you are directly responsible for killing, there’s not much more we can do for you other than pray for you. If you can’t see that voting for people who support the legalized slaughter of innocent people is evil, there’s nothing we can do for you either but pray for your soul.
Prax – I’m going to refer you to my 1:08 post today regarding Hitler.
A couple of questions for you:
– Do you think it is then permissible and good to protest outside the house of a juror of a death penalty case?
– Do you think it is then permissible and good to protest outside the house of somebody who works at a prison that carries out executions?
– Do you think it is then permissible and good to protest outside the house of somebody who works a weapons manufacturing plant?
– Do you think it is then permissible and good to protest outside of a politicians house that has cut insurance for people?
Do you have a line that you draw?
Ex-GOP, I oppose the death penalty and think it is permissible and good to peacefully protest against it if you are called by God to do so.
If you know someone is manufacturing weapons to unjustly and solely murder innocent people, I have no problem with you peacefully protesting them either, using photos of innocent murder victims if you wish. I do believe however that there are cases where the use of a weapon is unfortunately justified.
I also have no problem with people peacefully protesting politicians if they believe the actions of that politician is directly causing the death of humans, not just because they will have to pay more for their insurance. If a politician is causing people to starve, protest away. I do disagree with protesters who threaten elected officials lives and their families lives just because they disagree with issues that in no way threaten human life.
I also have no problem with proaborts protesting prolife churches. They could hold photos of born babies. I would actually welcome them to protest mine so that I could invite them in for some cake and coffee.
If your protest comes from a place of love and care for the humans being killed and the humans doing the killing, rather than a place of anger, selfishness and judgement, I see absolutely nothing wrong with peaceful protesting.
Innocent humans being legally killed should always, always be protested.
No child killing with tranquility!!
