Commentary: The Red Rose Rescue in White Plains & 3 sentenced to jail

A beautiful commentary by Theresa Bonopartis. So true. Hit the link for the full essay. Only takes a few minutes to read.

Harsh sentences and extreme pro-abortion laws remind us that abortion is enshrined in our culture — a culture that is dying from the wounds it has inflicted on itself by a total disrespect for human life.

Will Goodman, Matthew Connolly and Father Fidelis Moscinski, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal referred to by the court as “Mr. Christopher Moscinski,” were each sentenced to 90 days in jail and ordered to pay $750 in fines and fees for their role in a Red Rose Rescue this past November at All Women’s Health and Medical Services in White Plains, New York.

All three defendants say they will not pay the fines. If the fees are not paid by February 2023, they face an additional 30 days in jail.

As others with much more serious crimes are set free without bail, why are these three incarcerated?

The answer is simple: they confronted what has become the “god” of abortion. They resisted the dismemberment and killing of the unborn, hidden from the eyes of an indifferent society.

In a Red Rose Rescue like the one that resulted in the arrest of these men, the rescuers peacefully enter an abortion facility waiting room to speak to women scheduled for abortions with the goal of persuading them not to abort. They are offered red roses with a list of resources to assist them in choosing life. Should the woman still choose abortion, the rescuers stay in solidarity with the unborn baby inside the abortion clinic, remaining with them for as long as they can. They use noncompliance in response to being asked to leave the clinic and the police officers carry them out.

We will pass on more information as we get it.  This is our posting about the rescue, back in November. Red Rose Rescue comes to White Plains, NY .

3 men to serve 3 months for trespassing at White Plains clinic; say they refuse to pay fine Aug 02, 2022, 9:20pmUpdated 2h ago By: News 12 Staff 1:39 / 1:39 Three men convicted of trespassing at a White Plains women's health care clinic are going to jail for three months. Matthew Connelly, William Goodman and Christopher Mascinski were convicted in city court of third-degree criminal trespassing. Prosecutors say the men were in the waiting room for two hours, blocking people from entering the offices - and police had to physically carry them out.

About 30 people showed up in support of the defendants.

 

Judge John Collins also scolded William Goodman ahead of his sentencing, saying Goodman perjured himself during the trial earlier this spring.

 

Collins says Goodman represented himself as a first responder, which is not true.

 

The men were fined $500 each. They all said they have no intention of paying it.
