This is the very door through which abortion bound women passed over the 28 years that 827 Webster Street served as Indiana’s most notorious abortuary. Women who, like Mary, found themselves in crisis pregnancies. Women who were most often not loved and supported by the father of the child, the father that sent his own child through this ominous door.

The Scriptures tell us that Joseph supported Mary in her crisis, even before he was told (by an angel) that the child she carried was unique among the children of men. Most of the women who walked through this door and climbed the steps beyond the door did not have a man of Joseph’s caliber in their life. And once this door closed behind them, the most important man in their child’s nascent life was the “doctor.” A “doctor” being reward to exterminate the unwanted “product of conception”.

Two patients entered, but only one exited. One dead, one wounded. It was a modern slaughter of the innocents. The fruit of the womb was turned into a product that was “harvested” for profit by men of King Herod’s spirituality.

Abortion is a direct attack against the basic building block of human society, the family. Those who ply the trade commit acts of treason against the human race by furthering the culture of death. (Despair ye not, for a general amnesty is available! Click here: Jesus Forgives and Heals)

The ArchAngel Institute proclaims its allegiance to the Culture of Life this Christmas, and encourages everyone to do the same. This allegiance is best demonstrated through resistance to the modernist attack on the family. The antidote to such attacks is found in the great example set by the Holy Family. Let us join with the late Pope John Paul II in extolling the very good news and very great virtue found in the Holy Family. Let us join John Paul II in holding the Holy Family out as the foundation of Christian civilization on this fallen (yet redeemable) orb.

The Institute wishes you Merry Christmas in the following greeting from the front door of the former clinic:

 

The Son of God, conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Immaculate Virgin Mary and born in the stable at Bethlehem, chose to enter the world within a family, the Holy Family of Nazareth. Before the crib, the eyes of the heart and of faith look intently upon this Family: upon Jesus, Mary and Joseph. During the whole Christmas period our eyes will rejoice at the mystery of the Holy Family…. The Birth of the Lord gladdens us, the mystery of the Holy Family gladdens us. Everyone wants to share in this joy: this is the joy which today we want to wish everyone.John Paul II, December 25, 1994
