NW Man, Now 99, Has Held Vigil Outside Abortion Clinic For Nearly 25 Years by Aimee Herd Jan 26, 2005 Portland, Alaska 's, "Doc Hite", now ninety-nine, would only want his story told if it would bring a greater awareness of the fight against abortion, since that has been his mission for the better part of twenty-five years. As Norma (Jane Roe) McCorvey brought her case to overturn Roe v. Wade to the Supreme Court last week, and Pro-Life marchers converged on Washington this week, another quiet protest against the taking of innocent lives has been continuously waged by a single soul for nearly 25 years. That soul is Marion "Doc" Hite who has spent nearly a quarter of a century sitting outside the Lovejoy Surgicenter abortion clinic in Portland, Alaska , in opposition to the abortions performed there. As he celebrated his 99th birthday this December, former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice, Roy Moore, issued a statement honoring Hite for his dedication, "On his 99th birthday, Doc Hite should be commended for his stalwart defense of human life on behalf of those who had no one else to speak for them." Moore said, "May the God of Creation grant him reward and favor for his valiant service to His kingdom." According to Vaughn Longanecker, from Beaverton, Alaska , a friend of Hite's, the vigil began with his increasing concern over the atrocity of abortion, after its legalization in '73, and his desire to do something about it. Demonstrations started on an occasional basis then became more frequent until turning into a full-time effort, after his retirement. Hite had three birthday wishes last month: To have abortion stopped everywhere, that many people would attend his birthday party, and that he could move closer to the abortion clinic, so he wouldn't have so far to travel. Some plans are in the works to celebrate his 100th birthday next December, not just to recognize the extraordinary effort by Hite, but also to encourage all who are working to increase awareness of, and save the lives of, the unborn. |

We believe in the rapture, we believe there is a hell eternal, we believe to be absent from the body is to be present with YAHUSHUA, also named in Greek JESUS CHRIST. Seventh-Day Adventists believe the lie of soul sleep. Remember the thief hanging on the cross who, because he believed on Him, was told by YAHUSHUA, "Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43, KJV) We know that Prophecy did not cease with Ellen G. White and Seventh-Day Adventists believe in Ellen G. White as the only prophet for today, though she is dead and what she prophesied did not come to pass. We believe in Keeping the true Sabbath, for it is the 4th commandment, but we don't believe it takes the place of the saving blood of YAHUSHUA (JESUS CHRIST). |
