Free the Rescuers

Rescuer Heather Idoni lives in rural Michigan (Lindon). She and her husband have raised their 5 children and adopted 10 boys from Ukraine.

One of the baby-murdering places that she rescued at was in Washington D.C.. At her federal trial there in August of 2023, this peaceful Christian Grandmother was mislabeled as “Violent” and a “terrorist.” The judge threw her immediately in jail.

In March of 2021, Heather quietly prayed and sang hymns, peacefully, in the hallway of a medical office complex in Mt. Juliet, TN. One of the “Businesses” was the Carafem abortuary. Heather and 11 others were arrested and jailed for trespassing. Those charges were later dismissed. She has participated in other peaceful rescues.

Heather is currently serving a 24-month sentence (to be followed by 1-year of supervised release) in the Sanilac county Jail in Sandusky, MI.
