A House Divided in Pittsburgh
Another pro-life activist who takes the signs out to educate the public is Bob Newman of Pittsburgh, PA. Bob is out more than we are, and has made showing the graphic photographs of aborted babies a full-time occupation, so he runs into more resistance that we do. Here’s a list of some roadblocks he has run into recently:
-To prepare for a recent Truth Tour he placed an ad in the Diocesan Paper. He could not use a graphic picture, of course, so he used a life picture but still had to face an editorial in the same paper with the innocent ad calling his tour an occasion to “shock and offend” the people.
-When he tried to get permission to go onto the Catholic campus, Duquesne, the college President denied the request saying it was counterproductive to the college mission to “educate the mind, heart and spirit.”
-The pastor of St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church wrote in the bulletin that Bob’s efforts were “terribly misguided and counterproductive.” Letters to the Chancery presenting true stories to prove that the pictures save lives were totally ignored. Bob got instead complaints that these pictures are a “violent assault on young children.”
-At a Pittsburgh Catholic Youth Conference parents were warned that Bob’s graphic pictures would be shown outside, and students refused to take any pamphlets on abstinence, STD’s and abortion, while security guards tried to cover up the signs.
-At Oakland Catholic High School Bob was told to leave and students refused to take any of his pro-life literature. At Our Lady of Grace pro-lifers were not allowed to leaflet and were told to go home.
-At St. Paul Cathedral they were told that a memorial of 400 white crosses was called “too controversial” and the Church of the Nativity said it should not be shown in public but should be “a private memorial.” Come again?
-Meanwhile, many Pittsburgh parish bulletins advertised and promoted a foundation that supports Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortion in the world, killing over a quarter-of- a-million babies each year in the United States alone.
Bob says that if the Catholic church in Pittsburgh won’t help him, then please, just leave him alone. And you think you have it tough where your are. Our hat is off to long suffering Bob Newman.
