WICHITA, June 29, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The pro-life group Operation Rescue has announced that it has purchased the building that housed Central Women's Services, an abortion mill located at 3013 E. Central in Wichita, Kansas. Central Women's Services had not been able to pay the rent, and the property was put up for sale. When Operation Rescue purchased the property, under the stipulation that the current tenant not be allowed to remain, it forced the mill to close.
The facility is to be renovated and serve as the pro-life group's corporate headquarters, and will feature a memorial to the pre-born victims of abortion.
The abortion business operated at the location for 23 years and it is estimated that about 50,000 children were killed on the site.
Conditions in the abortion 'clinic' were deplorable said Operation Rescue staff member Cheryl Sullenger who walked through the building with a realtor.
"There was mold, and general filth," said Sullenger. "The carpets outside the abortion rooms were stained with blood, even though it was evident that some effort had been made to clean them. The ceiling nearby was broken. All of the walls were dirty and some were covered with cheap contact paper instead of being properly maintained."
Operation Rescue President Troy Newman also commented on the abortion facility. "Under the sink was one of the biggest garbage disposals I have ever seen," said Newman. "The entire area had the stench of death. It was the sink where the suction machine bottles were washed. In fact, dried blood could be seen that had seeped out from the metal band that surrounded the sink top. There was a bucket marked 'biohazard' next to the sink. We were all sickened by the thought of all those thousands of innocent children whose blood had been washed down that sink. It was an experience I will never forget."
The abortion mill captured the attention of local pro-lifers during the 1991 Summer of Mercy when a Pastor's Rescue, led by Operation Rescue tactical director Jeff White, resulted in the arrests of 80 members of the clergy in what was likely the largest incident of civil disobedience by pastors in the history of the pro-life movement.
Operation Rescue had previously purchased the lot behind the abortion business and erected a huge pro-life billboard there, which was easily viewable by women coming to the facility for abortions.

Succinct...8^)
Beautiful. What an excellent purchase!
Another example of the redemption of the fallen world. Bit by bit, the kingdoms of this world are becoming the Kingdom of our God, and His Christ!
I love to see the pro-life movement take actions outside the box! This is Awesome!
I am glad that this abortion clinic was shut down, and commend Operation Rescue on their efforts here. However, I think there may be a little bit of exaggerating here for OR's political purposes.
Why do you think the clinic couldn't have been in exactly that condition?
Simply brilliant.
I wish we could afford to do this EVERYWHERE!
capitalism at its best.
Different one.
Let people see what "the Right to Choose" really means.
When you add up the numbers, they were killing around 2000 babies a year for over two decades, that means that more people died in this abortuary EVERY SINGLE MONTH than died in the Oklahoma City bombing.
It's pretty sickening when you consider that as many lives were taken in this abortuary, there was another one in town killing more.

I don't think I'd want to go to work in the building.
I love it.
They should get a priest in there to bless the place...it was the Devil's workshop!
These buildings should be turned into holocaust memorials in the same way, and for the same reason, that the Bergen-Belsen, Auschwitz, Maidenek and Treblinka death camp sites are memorials.
Liberal courts denied all of those fundamental rights in the vicinity of abortion mills lest the sacred business of slaughtering babies be inconvenienced by public outrage.
But now that the Sacred Baby Killers have left, the formerly Sacred Building can no longer be used to deny us our First Amendment rights. We could even put a pair of plaques on the building, one with the Ten Commandments, the other commemorating the holocaust deaths of 50,000 innocent lives at this abominable death camp.
Bump to the top; thanks for the ping, Coleus!
I wish the neighboring citizens could be made to view these abortuaries, as the people of Dachau were made to view the ovens and gas chambers they knew were nearby. Sickening, but thank God another of these hell-holes has closed.
Instead of cleaning this place up and moving offices in, they should sanitize it to the degree necessary for public safety but keep it mostly as is, as a memorial to Witchita's own holocaust. Make it a museum to the death cult, and open it for tours.
