In 2008, members of a local pro-life group found the illegal dumping at a couple of the abortion businesses Hodari owns and operates in the Detroit area. Monica Miller of the Citizens for a Pro-Life Society found the patient records, medical waste and bodies of unborn children in the dumpster.

The incident caused a national controversy when Womancare received only a slap on the wrist from Michigan environmental officials for violating illegal dumping laws.

Hodari didn't receive a fine from the state nor was he prosecuted on any charges. He did eventually receive probation from a local judge on local charges in the case.

Hodari pled no contest to twelve counts from the Oakland County prosecutor's office of violating Michigan law requiring the proper filing and disposal of patient records, even though records were found concerning hundreds of abortion patients. Full stories at LifeNews.com

The turnout of 30 CPLS members during a downpour (and setting up at 6:30am) was just enough to send the pro-life message and show the truth about abortion to literally tens of thousands who arrived at the University of Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor as we protested Obama during the May 1st, 2010 commencement event.

We were present at every main gate leading into the stadium. Literally droves of people passed by those holding signs of the abortion victims. It is no exaggeration--at least 50 thousand people saw the posters on their way into the stadium!

To be expected--several of those--there to hear Obama--derided the protestors, even making fun of the photos of aborted babies, and yelled the usual obsenities.

Yet- several others thanked us for being there and many took time to examine the pictures and engage us in meaningful conversations.

It was sad to see so many graduates criticize us for "Ruining their commencement."

I tried to point out to them that the education they had received should lead to a higher awareness of the plight of the oppressed, and since Obama was an oppressor of these innocent babies, that they should be glad-- even proud that their commencement was marked by people standing up for justice.

No matter what-- this was a great opportunity to witness to the truth and I am so glad that CPLS was there.

Even with 30 members present--we were certainly the largest social protest group present--and the most effective in communicating our message!

I want to personally thank everyone who came out--on this cold--very wet morning--and made this a most successful demonstration!
