Ecumenical Religious Ceremonies to Take Place at
Former Abortion Clinic Site on May 19

Former Abortion Clinic Redeemed One of Fort Wayne’s most notorious addresses, 827 Webster Street, will be the subject of an ecumenical redemptive act on Saturday morning, May 19.

Feminist leader Susan Hill oversaw an estimated 24,000 abortions from this site between the years 1978-2006. Because of that, an Orthodox Church exorcism, Roman Catholic blessing and Evangelical dedication service will take place at the same location on Saturday morning, May 19, 2007.

The building at 827 Webster Street, located a mere 100 yards from the newly remodeled Allen County Public Library and directly across the street from Fort Wayne’s historic First Presbyterian Church, served as NorthEast Indiana’s sole abortuary for almost 30 years.

Susan Hill opened the clinic at 827 Webster Street as one of what was to eventually become ten “franchise” sites of the National Women’s Health Organization in numerous states. With demand for abortion waning, her for-profit, child killing business has fallen on hard times. Susan Hill is no longer affiliated with the Fort Wayne clinic, and now can claim only five clinics in her franchised operation.

The clinic at 827 Webster Street opened with great controversy in 1978. Susan Hill filed litigation against the City of Fort Wayne to locate her mill in a community that did not welcome the grisly “business.” See FORT WAYNE WOMEN’S HEALTH ORGANIZATION, INC. V. CITY OF FORT WAYNE, 1978. (CASE # F78-31)

A year after opening, the Fort Wayne clinic sued seven nurses who did nothing more than offer alternative to abortion on the sidewalks surrounding the clinic. Highly-respected Fort Wayne resident Phyllis Avila, the President of Nurses Concerned for Life, was one of those nurses. Many, including her widowed husband Frank, have credited this baseless, pro-abortion and frivolous lawsuit for hastening Phyllis’ untimely death. See FORT WAYNE WOMEN’S HEALTH ORGANIZATION, INC., ET. AL V. NURSES CONCERNED FOR LIFE ET AL, 1979. (CASE # F-79-9)

A decade later, the good people of Northeast Indiana rose up by the thousands in an ecumenical and unified attempt to warn their neighbors of the great danger inherent in abortion and to protect their friends, the volunteer sidewalk counselors, from more baseless litigation and continued disruptive harassment at the hands of the pro-abortion activists who routinely gathered outside the abortion clinic. This populist, pro-life movement calling itself NorthEast Indiana Rescue was crushed by the National Organization of Women’s legal team led by Susan Hill. See FORT WAYNE WOMEN’S HEALTH ORGANIZATION, INC., ULRICH KLOPFER, M.D., & JANE DOE V. WENDELL BRANE, BRYAN J. BROWN, NORTHEAST INDIANA RESCUE ET AL., 1990. (CASE # F90-66)

Sixteen years after the lawsuit against Northeast Indiana Rescue was filed, a pro-life entity calling itself the Donegal Corridor has purchased the building and announced plans to locate an Institute in the building dedicated to advancing the Culture of Life.

The May 19 event is the second step in the plan to redeem this former holocaust site.

Following these liturgical events, the former abortion clinic will be open for silent and prayerful walkthroughs. The interior of the building remains as it was the day the former occupants abandoned it for their new facility off of State Street. All persons of good will are encouraged to visit the site and pray for those who suffered due to its twenty-eight year presence on Webster Street.

The former clinic will remain open for silent walkthroughs until 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 19. Representatives of the Donegal Corridor will be on hand to discuss their vision for the future use of the building at 827 Webster Street.

All persons of goodwill are invited to take part in some or all of the ecumenical service at 827 Webster Street on Saturday, May 19.
