NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL USES F.A.C.E. TO CENSOR GOSPEL OF CHRIST

Elliot Sptizer, Attorney General of New York, is seeking a federal injunction to censor the Gospel of Jesus Christ from being proclaimed within 60 feet of abortion mills or hospitals that kill children. Operation Save America is coming to the streets of Buffalo and Rochester, NY, April 18-25, 1999, and Mr. Spitzer is asking for injunctive relief to enable the abortion industry to continue murdering unborn children in peace and quiet. He has gone so far as to ask for the removal of large graphic signs and Scripture verses from the streets of Buffalo. He is demanding our government be used to censor the Gospel proclamation.

"It is ironic that F.A.C.E. (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) is the vehicle Mr. Spitzer has 'chosen' to censor the speech of Christians," said Rev. Flip Benham, National Director of Operation Rescue. "Mr. Spitzer himself, by filing this absurd injunction, blatantly violates F.A.C.E. by attempting to intimidate Christians from giving mothers true reproductive health information. He is blocking the access of pregnant mothers to receive information that might enable them to choose life!"

The issuing of this injunction violates every statement made by those stalwart sponsors of F.A.C.E., Chuckie Schummer and Teddy Kennedy. They made repeated promises that this bill would never be used to silence FREE SPEECH. What a preposterous lie!

"F.A.C.E. was never about violence, though violence was the vehicle used to get the bill passed into law," said Rev. Benham. "It was always about silencing the Gospel of Jesus Christ outside abortion mills. That is what Kennedy and Schummer always had in mind. They never feared violence from us. They knew better than that. They feared the Jesus in our hearts. He is the one they hate! They know He changes lives! He changes everything! He would even change them if they would ask!"
