Police drag Father Fidelis Moscinski, CFR away from the Garden State Gynecology abortion center on July 13 after a Red Rose Rescue.
MORRISTOWN, New Jersey
Two Catholic priests and two lay pro-life activists were arrested this morning for entering and refusing to leave an abortion facility, offering red roses to the women inside and encouraging them to choose life.
At least one woman turned away and didnt go through with an abortion, Red Rose Rescue spokeswoman Lisa Hart told LifeSiteNews. The womans mother was forcing her to have the abortion.
I was in the process of trying to get her [the] number of an attorney to call...I gave her some good information to get help and offered to take her to my house, actually, but her mother came up and started yelling at me, Hart recounted. She told LifeSiteNews that over 10 police cars came to the scene and the pro-lifers were dragged off into them.
When we tried to film it, they forced us to get off the property, she said. The pro-lifers managed to get short videos of police carrying some of the arrested rescuers to their cars. The activists are now at the police station, Hart said.
The abortion facility the pro-lifers entered is Garden State Gynecology, which is on the first floor of a large office building that also houses New Jerseys premier freestanding birth center. This is the 14th Red Rose Rescue thats taken place in the United States since September 2017.
The Rescue that we did in September was on the feast of St. Michael, dedicated to him. Then, the December Rescue was close to Christmas. We dedicated it to Our Lord and His birth. The March Rescue was on the 19th, dedicated to St. Joseph, Father Fidelis Moscinski of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal told LifeSiteNews. This mornings Rescue was dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary because July 13 is the anniversary of when she revealed the secret at Fatima, he said, referring to Marian apparitions in Fatima, Portugal when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three peasant children and warned them of the need for prayer and reparation for sin.
Accompanying Moscinski, who has participated in several previous Red Rose Rescues, were two other veteran rescuers, Father Dave Nix and Will Goodman. A fourth rescuer entered anonymously in solidarity with unnamed babies in the womb.
Were really calling upon the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary this morning, said Moscinski. We are trusting in the power of Gods grace to affect peoples minds and hearts.
This is the first Red Rose Rescue at this location.
The priest told LifeSiteNews hes been informed there is likely a warrant out for his arrest because he and Goodman refused to pay a $364 fine after being convicted of defiant trespass for the September 29 Red Rose Rescue at a Montclair, New Jersey abortion center. That could impact how long theyre detained, he said, noting he has no way of knowing how long they would potentially be jailed.
He also pointed out the irony of an abortion facility and a birth center sharing a building.
Apparently, mothers who are choosing to give birth receive some assistance and help there and its the same building as theyre killing the children, said Moscinski.
The Red Rose Rescue is an act of charity for women who feel for whatever reason they must have their innocent unborn children killed, explained Hart. We ... go into the very places where the unborn are put to death and extend help to the moms.
The pro-lifers remain [there] in solidarity with the helpless victims oppressed by the injustice of abortion.
Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta said that her work was to go into the dark holes of the poor, she continued. The Red Rose Rescue is an action of going into the dark holes of the poor namely, abortion clinics where the innocent are rejected and in these dark holes we seek to bring hope, true peace, and the presence of God.
The Red Rose Rescues are inspired by Canadian activist Mary Wagner and are somewhat of a revival of a tactic used during the dawn of the postRoe v. Wade pro-life movement. Pro-lifers frequently chained themselves to abortion equipment and blocked entrances to abortion centers, saving many babies. Former president Bill Clintons signing into law the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act allowed for much stricter punishment of those who block abortion center entryways, forcing the pro-life movement to change methods.
No Red Rose Rescue participants have been charged under FACE, and federal charges against pro-lifers in Washington, D.C. have twice been dropped. A number of Rescuers have been jailed, though.
Moscinski told LifeSiteNews one of the Garden State Gynecology abortionists is Eric Yahav, who is alleged to have attempted to force his girlfriend to have an abortion in December 2015. The girlfriend obtained a court order of protection.
The red roses distributed inside the abortion center today had attached to them a message that said: You were made to love and to be loved...your goodness is greater than the difficulties of your situation. Circumstances in life change. A new life, however tiny, brings the promise of unrepeatable joy.

Good to see there are still men of God in this world.
These are the best.
My God!!! and we expect God in Heaven to bless this nation?
They are brave.
God bless these men, in Jesus Name we pray for them!
Bill Clinton, the feminist abortionists' hero. Didn't want to delay the daily murdering of little babies./s
I’m somewhat familiar with Father Dave Nix from youtube videos. Young priests like him who are still fighting the good fight give me hope. If Bergoglio and his ilk don’t succeed in their program of ecclesial auto-demolition and men like Nix ever take power, maybe just maybe the Catholic Church can be Made Great Again.
Good men of Christ
Save the souls Save the babies. Life !
If they were black and rioting and looting in any major city - the police would have a hands off policy.
-OR-
If they just wore black and were rioting.. d;^)
Father Fidelis Moscinski is a hero
Nice message. God bless them.
I’m beginning to the think the hardest part of being Pro Life is AFTER some of these kids are born.
Some know I took a kid who was the product of a rape under my wing a few years ago.
Got him into a military boot camp and he lasted all of 6 days after all the blood, sweat and tears I put into getting him there.
Couldn’t hack it.
Now it’s on to getting him enrolled in GED and taking him on job interviews to Macys, JC Penney, etc.
I’m not giving up.
He said he saw fights and stabbings in the camp the week he was there that terrified him and woke him up.
We shall see.
I WONT lay out a dime for him anymore. Just rides to interviews and to enroll in GED.
God would get mad if I gave up now.
I hope that the thug cop is proud of himself for arresting a prolife hero!
The cop works for and is paid by Caesar; what else would he do?
The soldiers who crucified Christ had no personal hatred for him; they were doing their jobs.
Messed up kids are more tgan a handful and true love has to smart sometimes so we learn. That is TRUE love and not feel good. Love is sacrifice...having the child...raising the child....following the Holy Spirit...putting yourself in harms way to bring love or change to folks.b
And I didnt have him but I love him and wont walk away.
Thats my business and decision
Cant bitch about abortion then preach holier than thou marriage or nothing bull sh.t
Yup!...Just like the Nazis. “Just following orders.”
didn’t know about this, thanks for posting. God Bless our Priests. We need more like them.
It's tough, there's no two ways around it. You are handling it with patience and wisdom --- and obstinacy, which is needed. And grace, without which we can do nothing.
Whether homegrown kids or foster kids or adopted, or just kids we've taken on because they needed our guidance --- and let's not forget nieces and nephews, grands and great-grands ---- ---let's pray for each others' kids.
