Constitution Suspended for the Michaels and All Pro-lifers in Highland: Letter to the Editor

[Preface, court report:
On February 4th, 2002, a Madison County Judge kept in force, a restraining order that abortion foes cannot protest in front of a tea room where the co-owner also works at the Hope Abortion Clinic. The judge kept in force an unheard of 1,500 foot buffer zone, allowing no one to do anything to let the people know what this lady does at the Hope Clinic. The tea room holds parties for children on the weekends while the co-owner assists in killing children during the week at the Hope Clinic. Daniel and Angela Michael found this out, so they started letting people know what this lady does during the week. The decision will be appealed immediately by attorneys Jason Craddock and Fredrick Nelson.]

"Abortion Comes to Highland"

Let’s face it! Abortion is mean and it’s ugly. The most recent controversy is the exposure of the Teaberries party house where an abortion clinic employee has parties for little girls on the weekends and during the weekdays she works at the Hope(less) abortion mill in Granite City, IL, where we stand at the gates of Hell four to five times a week proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ who is Lord and whose laws shall reign. She is killing little baby girls and boys. She is assisting in the slaughter of these babies during the weekdays, and entertaining here on the weekend here in Highland.

Highland is a little pristine town of about 8,900. What this exposure has done has made them face the abortion controversy here, and has made them take a stand on this issue.

The abortion industry, of course, is trying our family again (just as in the Jane Doe lawsuit filed against us in June) in the newspapers, in the media, with this slant. We have titled the Post-Dispatch now the "Post-Disgrace", in that they have reported innuendoes, misleading statements, and outright lies claiming to have been said by Daniel Michael. Of course, that has gotten us to look bad in the public eye, but we do not really care for what the public has to say about us because you can either be friends with the world or you can be friends with Jesus. (James 4:4)

Concerning these negative character attacks on Small Victories, what the devil means for harm, God means for good, because we have been continuously busy helping mothers with baby supplies. Today in the rain, I was helping a girl pile baby supplies into her car, and performed ultrasounds for three different mothers. I guess it’s just like what Wanda, a potential victim of the Hope abortion clinic, had told me: "They were talking so bad about you Angela, I figured you must be good." She bolted out of the mill, and came into our RV and got her ultrasound to show her second-trimester baby. She saved that baby from death and thanked me with a bouquet of flowers.

"If you know your Bible, you will know that we are only doing what we have been told, and if you don’t know your Bible, you need to get to know it before you go to meet your Maker.

Years ago when we first started getting involved here in the pro-life movement, we did not know where God was leading us. We just knew that He was putting it on our hearts……..Just like Flip Benham had asked me the other day, "Whose cries were you hearing Angela? Whose voice were you hearing Angela? Is this a ‘me’ thing here; whose voices were waking you in the middle of the night?" I replied, "Those babies. Those babies that are being murdered daily."

Years ago when we first started getting involved here in the pro-life movement, we did not know where God was leading us. We just knew that He was putting it on our hearts……..Just like Flip Benham had asked me the other day, "Whose cries were you hearing Angela? Whose voice were you hearing Angela? Is this a ‘me’ thing here; whose voices were waking you in the middle of the night?" I replied, "Those babies. Those babies that are being murdered daily."

Just at this one abortion mill (Hopeless abortion mill), in 12 months time, this mill has murdered over 13,104 babies that’s 252-300 a week. On one recent Saturday they murdered 65 babies. They’re open Monday- Saturday 7-7p.m. and every other Thursday they do "midnight abortions." Late term is their specialty. Cars from OH, IN, KY, IA,TN, MO fill the parking lot that could have been potential "Kurt Warners", future feminists; heroes. They have slaughtered them, gone against God’s plan here.

In Ephesians 5:11, it says we are to be children of the light, and to "expose the unfruitful deeds," and if we don’t, we are no better than the sinners who are committing these crimes; "The kindest acts of the wicked are cruel; woe to those who call good evil, and evil good." This is exactly what we are trying to expose and proclaim as God’s Word. A comparison that came to me was that this is exactly how cancer starts. It starts with a little black spot, and left alone and ignored, it turns into a lesion. Ignored longer, it turns into full-blow metastic cancer. That is exactly what you have in Highland, and it has been exposed. "Bloodshed follows bloodshed." "The devil comes to rob, destroy, and to kill."

The courts have every intention of following through with this. This is why Mark Levy, Teaberries’ lawyer, has proclaimed, "I will see Daniel and Angela penniless, and Small Victories in ruins…". Teaberries’ lawyer Mark Levy has come right out and said that he "owns" the judges. He has the judges in his pocket and he owns that courthouse.

This was sure proven at Monday’s court hearing. God’s word never comes back void. Against the gates of Hell, it’s His word that will prevail. That’s why we want to saturate this courthouse will prayers, and we want to saturate that abortion mill, that "child-sacrificing" machine" they have in Granite City. We have to saturate it with proclaimers, God’s word, and prayers. I think the devil has reared his ugly head here in Highland, and if "Christ is for me, who would be against me?" I don’t need to read the newspapers, however, I do need to be in my Bible.

When we exposed the Catholic hospital in Granite City’s (May 31st / June 1st) role in a botched abortion (where a little 23-week old baby was killed and the mother came near to losing her own life on the second day of the abortion procedure), and the hypocrisy and the 20-year relationship between abortionist Yogendra Shah and the former Catholic hospital in Granite City, we were also attacked by the media, and in the papers. Now that the Catholic community is "stirring the pot" of the rift between Angela and the Catholic bishop George Lucas- (what rift?)- We drew a line in the sand one year ago at a speaking engagement where Angela asked the bishop to either take "Catholic" off the hospital sign or get the abortionist out! To her surprise; she received a standing ovation but the bishop was humiliated. (Galatians 6:4) The seminarians on the other hand thanked her for having the courage to speak the truth. As of January 2002 the former Catholic hospital was sold to a group from Tennessee. I applaud the bishop. I sing God’s praises. He only did what we asked.

I pray for Jane Doe’s salvation. We are to be Jesus to these people, but "have I now become your enemy by speaking the truth (Galatians 4:6)?" Just like Jill Stanek, former labor and delivery nurse from Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, was called as "whistleblower" and fired from her job of delivering babies, where they were doing "live abortions" in this Christian hospital, her question to listeners on a past KJSL 630 AM radio show I have hosted was, "My question is, why aren’t YOU standing for these babies, in the gap?"

We should all have a reputation like the Michael’s. Remember Proverbs 24:12, "Rescue those being led away to the slaughter…". If you are not being persecuted, then you are not on target with the devil. In the storm, God is preparing those few for the real battle. That’s why He’s asking us just to show up, to fight that good fight. Don’t back down to the devil. The devil is not worried about these "limp-wristed spineless wonders" that stay in their pews and don’t come out, take a stand, and aren’t being persecuted. They will be the first to go when that wind comes up in the storm. Real heroes tread where no one dares to go.

Our great nation that was founded on liberty and freedom has now turned these liberties into perverted licenses, and has now denied God and His word. "When can’t attack the message, you attack the messenger." The media elite is the biggest supporter of organized (extremist pro-death) feminism. Cal Thomas said it best: "Good theater makes good politics." Just like the crucifixion of Jesus… the crowd yelled for the life of Barabas, a thief to be spared, a criminal, but a Christian Jew named Jesus was crucified for speaking the truth.

The local minister exposing himself is insignificant compared to the Michael’s battle. Ephesians 5:11 and Ephesians 6:12. It costs 10 times as much to support a lie or to make it road-worthy but it takes nothing to tell the truth. The truth is free. Romans 1:18

In Jesus holy Name,
Angela Michael


[Brothers and Sisters, We need to pray for Angela and Daniel Michael and their 11 children. They are involved in two lawsuits and are being persecuted for the Lord in their community. These gentle warriors in the Lord need the true Church to back them up. The largest need is their request to saturate the judges in Madison County, IL with prayer. If you would like to know any other way you can help or just want to offer an encouraging word, you can reach them by email via SmallVictories@juno.com.]
