We knew there were some strange things going on at the Aurora, IL abortion clinic, as the activists mentioned below had been giving us periodic updates about the place.
Here’s hoping it doesn’t reopen.
Illinois Abortion Business Closes Down As Practitioner Vanishes
by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
October 17, 2006Aurora, IL (LifeNews.com) — An abortion business in this Chicago suburb is closing down, just weeks after the abortion practitioner who worked there vanished. The West Suburban Gynecology abortion business has been evicted from its longtime location on Galena Boulevard and local authorities went to the center on Monday to process the eviction order.
Kane County sheriff’s deputies removed equipment, furniture and other items from the abortion business on Monday morning.
Aleksander Jakubowski operated the abortion business from 1991 to 2005 before he retired.
Then, abortion practitioner Louis S. Meyers and his staff took over the West Suburban Gynecology abortion business and rented the facility from Jakubowski.
But several weeks ago, Meyers disappeared, the Suburban Chicago News reported.
“I don’t know what happened to them,” Sheriff Ken Ramsey told the newspaper. “He just vanished.”
SCN reports that Jakubowski has regained control of the property and plans to sell it and it is unknown as to whether an abortion business or someone else will purchase it. He said a for sale sign has been on the property for a few days.
Two pro-life advocates who frequently protested outside the abortion center said its closing was good news. John and Karen had been protesting outside it for years.
“We’re glad to see the place close,” John told SCN. “But our prayers daily will be with the Jakubowskis, and the people who do this and think it is a good thing to do.”
Joan Solms, another pro-life advocate who has demonstrated outside, said she doesn’t know what will happen.
“We have no idea what will transpire,” she said. “All we know is that the clinic will not be operative for the next few days.”
Calls from LifeNews.com to the abortion center rang through to a local medical office that referred callers to local hospitals.
Aleksander Jakubowski is also known to have done abortions in Clearwater, Florida in the late 1980s.

School Trip to Abortuary Triggers Calls for Firing of School Administrator
Students wore vests used by abortion escorts to take women in for their abortions
By Gudrun Schultz
NEW HOPE, Pennsylvania, October 17, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The National Pro-Life Action Center (NPLAC) in Washinton D.C. is calling for an investigation after a private school sponsored a field trip to a nearby abortuary, triggering outrage in the local community.
More than a dozen high school students from Solebury School, near Philadelphia, were taken by bus to the Planned Parenthood location in Warminster, Catholic News Service reported, where they spent several hours touring the clinic. According to CNS the students wore vests used by abortion staff when escorting women into the building.
Jason Gordon, social science teacher for the school and the trip organizer, said the outing was part of an “activism class.”
“This is outrageous,” said attorney Stephen G. Peroutka, chairman of NPLAC. “Why would somebody take children out of school and to an abortion business? Why would anybody think that was good for kids? Whoever did–shouldn’t be teaching, and the school should be investigated and the administrator fired.”
Pro-Life demonstrators who were conducting a prayer service outside the Planned Parenthood building at the time said the students were not allowed to talk to them.
“We tried to encourage them to come down and talk to us, to at least hear the other side of the story, but they weren’t allowed,” Eileen Stone, a prayer service participant, told the Catholic Standard & Times, newspaper of the Philadelphia Archdiocese.
“This is very, very disturbing,” Stone said. “These students are only seeing one side. Shouldn’t they see another perspective? After all, education is about seeing the whole picture.”
Gordon said the students weren’t permitted to speak with the pro-life demonstrators because he did not want them to become involved in activism–he denied that the student’s participation in the abortuary activities was itself a form of activism. When asked by the Times if he had ensured students were given both sides of the argument, he admitted he had not.
“I wouldn’t say it was necessarily both sides,” Gordon said. “I don’t want to polarize things by saying this is one side and that’s another. The opposite of pro-choice is anti-choice. The opposite of pro-life is anti-life. If they say they’re pro-life, I can say I agree with people living. I’m not for people dying. But I’m also for people having a choice. I’m not for people not having a choice to do what they want.”
Escorts at the facility began playing a radio to drown out the pro-life demonstration and openly mocked the demonstrators in front of the students, participants told the Times.
“It’s so irresponsible for adults to act like this in front of kids,” Stone said. “And I think it’s very irresponsible for the administrator of any school to send children here to be brainwashed.”
Dr. Paul Chaim Schenck, executive director of NPLAC, said the incident shows just how badly legislation is needed to protect minor children from abortion activism.
“A school excursion into the bowels of an abortion mill is a stark illustration of why the Senate let down American families by failing to pass legislation prohibiting anyone from taking a school-aged child to an abortionist without parental consent,” said Dr. Schenck in a press release yesterday. “This was an inexplicable and inexcusable act.”

Is there a counter clinic by the Aurora clinic? (like a women’s center or something?)
MK,
“Dr. Paul Chaim Schenck, executive director of NPLAC, said the incident shows just how badly legislation is needed to protect minor children from abortion activism.”
Uh… yeah! They are trying to brainwash children into thinking it’s ok to kill children. Watch out people , there are those who are after your kids and they are sooo manipulative, they can’t change the minds of adults who are already pro-life so who do they approach? Yep, your kids! It is so evil. Everyone of those students parents should sue individually, and not just the adinistrator but the person who hired the sicko and maybe next time they will hire someone who actually likes kids. Do you remember when the idea of teaching was about stating facts instead of twisted personal opinions? I thought teachers were supposed to be smart, don’t they realize that the declining number of children can put them out of a job? These people who are teaching others not to respect life are the one’s who are going to be in a nursing home some day getting treated like crap, I can’t believe they don’t see that. OK, that was a long rant maybe it’s a hormonal thing.

and what exactly does this mean?
“But I’m also for people having a choice. I’m not for people not having a choice to do what they want.”
This guy just did exactly what HE wanted and showed a class full of minors that they too can do whatever THEY want but God forbid WE get to do what WE want…like make abortion illegal. Don’t they see the hypocricy?
Sorry John for stealing your thunder but I don’t know how to post these things any other way and I was sooooo angry….

Now who told you that? At least now you will know better.
“…going to be in a nursing home some day getting treated like crap…”
If they are lucky and make it to a nursing home. Chances are the children they didn’t abort might have some different ideas. I can’t wait to hear the slogans, “Every elderly parent, a wanted parent.”

MK,
Ah, but they don’t think children are people capable of making their own choices. They have to tell them what to choose or they might just never make a sound decision.
I think some feminists are funny too they rant about having a “choice” but the second the issue doesn’t concern them personally they could care less about “choice”. They should really call themselves something else.

I wonder what the guy is hiding, does he have a record at all? It seems that something big would have to happen to make someone leave so suddenly.

The brainwashing of children is still on a different level as far as the Philippines is concerned. For example, in the Southern part of my country, the network of reproductive health / population control advocates has apparently been meeting a lot of success in brainwashing students as young as 7 and 8 yrs old. Through textbooks in which this contraceptive and population control mentality is injected, children have been absorbing the underlying messages that according to our sources there, many children meet the arrival of a third child in the family with hostility! This is mainly due to the pictures used in the books that feature small families with happy and neat-looking members, compared with big family with sad and unkempt members. Plus, it’s ingrained in them that if one has many siblings, they will not get to eat as much food as they want. Imagine that!! That is really propagating selfishness.
I pray that brainwashing kids here doesn’t reach the point of bringing them on “field trips” to health clinics where birth control pills and condoms are given away for free left and right.

I find it very sad and disturbing that nobody — not even family and friends — is expressing any concern about the missing man. Yes, he did deplorable things, but he was still a human being made in God’s image, somebody Christ went to the cross to save. Am I the only person drawing breath who cares if he turns up alive or dead?
Here’s a prayer that he vanished because he was having second thoughts, and that he turns up safe, sound, and converted.

Good point, Christina.
I second that.

No, I was thinking the same thing too. When I first read this article, I said a “Hail Mary” that the man is OK.

I was actually worried about what he did to someone else to make him leave so suddenly, I hope they don’t find some poor woman somewhere who suffered from a botched abortion.

I’m sure he’s fine. He ran away because he hadn’t paid the rent in months.
