Abortion WebCam

By

(CBS)  Outside Denver's Planned Parenthood clinic, Ken Scott means to be intimidating by warning patients, "You will regret this for the rest of your life, don't do it."

But to women arriving here to have an abortion, as CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann reports, nothing Scott yells is as unnerving as his camera.

Ken Scott, an anti-abortion protestor, explains, "We're trying to expose the sin, and shame the people."

He takes their pictures for the most public photo album of all: the Internet.

Jill Scott, pro-abortion rights protest organizer says, "For the women that find themselves on the Internet, it's a shameful thing."

From his Georgia home, Neal Horsley posts these snapshots on his anti-abortion Web sites.

Photos taken by anti-abortion activists of women outside clinics in 26 states are sent to him.

Neal Horsley, a pro-life Web site author says, "They literally put themselves in a place to be judged by me and all the people who support me."

All this appalls abortion rights activists. They want it stopped.

Gloria Feldt, president of Planned Parenthood, says, "It's virtual stalking. It's harassment. It's shameful. It's abusive."

Abortion-rights supporters believe this is also potentially life threatening. They say having these women's pictures posted on the Internet could stir violent anti-abortion radicals to action."

A federal appeals court recently ruled this Web site -- called the "Nuremburg Files" -- was an illegal threat. The site compares abortion doctors to Nazi war criminals.

In 1998, when Dr. Barnett Slepian, an abortion provider, was murdered in his kitchen, the "Nuremburg Files" simply crossed through his name, like an updated hit list.

But camera-shy patients may have a tougher time getting help from the courts.

Jonathan Zittrain of Harvard Law School explains, "It may well be difficult to show that a Web site with text, even if it has animated dripping blood icons, is an imminent clear and present danger call to violence."

So for now -- in the click of a camera -- a private medical moment can become a cyberspace spectacle.

Here is a picture of the tshirt that fake Christian extremist Ken Scott wears often:
http://www.summeroftrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Operation-Save-America-tshirt1.jpg
Based on the Bible, the following is what the shirt should actually say instead:

Jesus is the Judge, therefore

HATEFUL WORDS AND DEEDS IS MURDER
(1 John 3:15) Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
(Matthew 5:39, 44) But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.... But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

HYPOCRISY IS SIN
(Matthew 6:5) And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

NARROW-MINDED RELIGION IS A LIE
(Luke 9:49-50) Now John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us." But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side."

LITERAL BELIEF IN THE GENESIS CREATION STORY IS A DELUSION
(2 Peter 3:8) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

OPPRESSION OF WOMEN IS REBELLION
(John 8:3-11) "Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. "Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?" This they said, testing Him, that they might have [something] of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with [His] finger, as though He did not hear. So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard [it], being convicted by [their] conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest [even] to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

FUNDAMENTALISM IS FALSE RELIGION
(Matthew 23:15) "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves."


OPERATION SAVE AMERICA IS PRETEND SALT
(Matthew 7:20-23) "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

Fact: Ken Scott is a convicted deadbeat dad, he didn't even support his own children!
Ken: before you go yelling at everyone else, take a look at yourself and pray to the Lord so he will tell you to please shut up and go home! D-E-A-D-B-E-A-T D-A-D.
Fact: Jo Scott served Federal time after she was convicted of conspiring to BOMB a women's health clinic in California!
What a sweet, Christian thing to do, Jo! Way to represent Jesus, there are lots of Bible verses about Jesus blowing stuff up!
Both of these facts were confirmed by a former (non-bully) "sidewalk counselor", who knows the Scotts personally, but finally quit when she saw how horrible their actions really are. It was also confirmed by a police officer, who is apparently a friend of Ken and Jo, but coincidentally, also a friend of mine.
I live two blocks away from where this all takes place, week after week, and we all know who Ken Scott and Jo Scott are and it seems every time I drive by there, Ken is out there yelling and screaming at everyone like a psychopath and Jo is standing on a ladder so she can look over the privacy fence (violating the people's privacy) and yelling at anyone around- which is what these fake Christians such as Jo call "sidewalk counseling". Their "Christian group" also tries to take pictures/videos of everyone, even of people as they walk in or out the front door of the medical facility there!
These Jesus-hating "sidewalk counselors" have disgusting, photo-shopped signs, bloody plastic children's baby dolls and morbid "baby caskets", and fake 'abortion' posters of bloody babies, and these are all over the streets in our neighborhood. They are out there nearly every day, and apparently paid to be there by Bob Adolph Enyart of Denver Bible Church in Arvada.
Another fact: "Pastor" Bob Adolph Enyart was sentenced to 60 days in jail for beating a 7 year old boy so hard with a belt that he bled! This is the kind of person he truly is.
These people are nasty bullies, plain and simple. They know no boundaries; they are very loud, obnoxious and aggressive and I can often hear them from my back yard! This is not they behavior of a real Christian.
Everyone reading this take a minute and imagine how you would feel if you had these psychopaths with their grotesque signs lining the streets in your neighborhood! We are sick of it. NONE of us in this neighborhood (which was much nicer before these fake "Christian" bullies showed up) want to drive near these horrible images and activities, especially when we have our young children in the car who often ask "why is the man with the Jesus shirt yelling at everyone?"
They will intentionally mislead and lie to ANYONE who they can get to stop and listen, or otherwise is within earshot. They are all blasphemous towards the sacred Christian Bible and Jesus and are harassing many REAL Christians.
Jesus was peaceful and would have never done any of this and would not have approved of this in any way.
I am a member of a very large and REAL Christian Church south of Denver and our Pastor gave a wonderful sermon on Sunday about how these "sidewalk counselor" bullies blaspheme the name of the Lord. Our Pastor encouraged us to engage Voice of Choice (http://www.vochoice.org) to help attempt to get the protesters to see that this should not be about anyone's stance on abortion, but to NOT BULLY and NOT HARRASS your fellow human beings.
Hundreds of the parishioners have contacted Voice of Choice and offered their services to do what they could do to help. I hope you will do the same. Please pray for the protesters!
