From OneNewsNow: Planned Parenthood Honors Hillary Clinton

Planned Parenthood honors Hillary Clinton

HOUSTON - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has told a Planned Parenthood convention that reproductive rights, as well as women's rights and empowerment, are key issues in President Barack Obama's foreign policy.

Clinton vowed her support for these issues during a speech Friday evening at the Planned Parenthood's national conference in Houston.

She was honored by Planned Parenthood...the nation's leading abortionist.... with its Margaret Sanger Award, the organization's highest honor, for her work throughout her public service career on behalf of women's health and reproductive rights.

Clinton said these rights are building blocks of democracy as societies that deny and demean women's roles are ones more likely to engage in behavior that is negative, antidemocratic and that leads to violence and extremism.

But local T.V. station, KHOU, reports that while applause welcomed Clinton inside the crowded ballroom, outside pro-life activists were holding a vigil.

It says among the hundreds of demonstrators who stood praying for an end to abortion was Sheila Theisen.

She said “We want this administration to know that we don’t want to pay for the death of all these children."

Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding every year.

“There’s no reason to be killing children. There’s no reason,” Theisen said.

Secretary Clinton started her day in Washington, where she and the President announced the administration’s new direction in Afghanistan. One priority, she said, is ensuring the expansion of women’s rights there.

Pro-lifers push to 'stop subsidizing' abortion industry

Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow

A Kansas state senator wants to defund Planned Parenthood.

Tim HuelskampRepublican Senator Tim Huelskamp explains why he believes it is time to drop funding of the abortion provider. "Planned Parenthood has been under criminal investigation for nearly a year now, and they've found probable cause to have committed 107 misdemeanor and felony counts in our state," he contends.

On a national level, Planned Parenthood gets many millions of federal tax dollars and makes a sizeable profit, even though it is a nonprofit organization. "It makes no sense that hundreds of thousands of pro-life Kansans have to fork over more than $550,000 to this organization," he adds. "That's the amount we've discovered."

Huelskamp is submitting a bill to the Kansas legislature to defund the abortion provider. "I think it's time to stop subsidizing the actions of an organization that operates under a cloud of suspicion and scandal," he concludes.

Texans Boot Planned Parenthood

Source.

Planned Parenthood has been shut down in the Texas panhandle.

American Life League's (ALL) Stop Planned Parenthood, or Stopp International, says it took a long time, but their campaign against Planned Parenthood finally got some results. "For 12 years in the Texas panhandle, there has been a fight against Planned Parenthood," he notes. "Planned Parenthood, in 1997, operated 19 clinics in the Texas panhandle."

Then the state reduced funding for the organization, and pro-life workers also continued in their efforts to shut Planned Parenthood's doors. "And as of December 31, there will no longer be any Planned Parenthood offices in the Texas panhandle," Sedlak explains. "They will all be gone."

The two remaining clinics in Amarillo have disaffiliated with the national organization. Sedlak says other cities can accomplish the same goal if they are determined, and information on that is available on the Stopp website.

Abortion industry asks Obama for billions in funding

A major abortion provider wants taxpayers to fork over more money, even while the economy is down.

Over 50 pro-abortion groups have submitted a 55-page wish list called "Advancing Reproductive Rights and Health in a New Administration" to the incoming Obama administration. Jim Sedlak of American Life League's (ALL) Stop Planned Parenthood, or Stopp International, has tallied the cost.

"They want unfettered abortion. They want the government paying for all of its programs," he contends. "In fact, [if] you total up everything that they've asked Obama for, Planned Parenthood and their friends want the taxpayers to give them $4.6 billion next year."

According to an ALL press release, the document requests $700 million to fund Title X, $900 million for international "family planning" programs, and additional millions for STD and sex education programs. Putting it under a microscope, Sedlak says the request is shocking when there are people on the streets looking for an income.

"We have to remember that last year, Planned Parenthood got $356 million in government money and [got] $114 million in profit," he points out.

Sedlak suggests the wish list represents a request to support an agenda, rather than a genuine need.


Indiana Planned Parenthood under investigation

A probe is under way of an Indiana Planned Parenthood after an undercover video revealed alleged criminal actions.

Lila Rose of Live Action Films filmed visits to two Indiana Planned Parenthood clinics. She posed as a 13-year-old impregnated by a 31-year-old man. While at the clinic, she was advised on how to get an abortion without getting the boyfriend in trouble. The Indiana attorney general's office and one grand jury are now investigating.

"But we need to keep the pressure on the district attorney and the attorney general of Indiana," says Rose. "[W]e need to ensure that this investigation is thorough and it is not side blocked by anything that Planned Parenthood might put out in order to impede that investigation."

Planned Parenthood has said it will train staff at its Indiana clinics and conduct an internal probe. However, Rose adds that Planned Parenthood has widespread violations and lawlessness.

"Their paperwork needs to be investigated....the statistics of how many girls are being served by Planned Parenthood under the age of 14 and contrasted with how many situations of abuse are reported need to be looked into," she said.

According to Rose, those situations are not being reported to police, but the law requires Planned Parenthood to do so.

New Video from Live Action

New Video and Challenge to Planned Parenthood to Implement REAL Reform
Live Action Releases New Video Asking:

Does Planned Parenthood of Indiana Under-report Abortions?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyeqGEbh7ME

====================================

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

12/30 Press Release: Planned Parenthood Fears Outside Scrutiny - Chooses Closely Linked Group to Implement 'Reform'

Contact: Lila Rose, lilarose@liveactionfilms.org, 408-497-3982

December 30th, LOS ANGELES – Lila Rose, 20-year old president of Live Action, responds to a public statement made by Planned Parenthood of Indiana President Betty Cockrum in defense of her organization after investigative videos shot in Bloomington and Indianapolis clinics showed the criminal cover up of statutory rape. Rose calls for Planned Parenthood of Indiana to publicly release the number of reports Planned Parenthood of Indiana has made to Child Protective Services in conjunction with the number of minors to whom they have provided STD testing, abortion counseling, pregnancy testing, and birth control.

In an open letter to Planned Parenthood of Indiana, Rose says that comparing these two statistics will begin to give the public a more accurate picture of the extent to which Planned Parenthood fails to report adult-child sexual relationships. The letter outlines the two paths Rose believes Cockrum can choose. "Planned Parenthood of Indiana may either opt for transparency in service to the rule of law, or choose to continue in the same secrecy that has already caused deep public distrust and summoned a state investigation."

Rose questions the abortion provider's commitment to reform in light of new information uncovered by Live Action. Live Action revealed today that Prevent Child Abuse Indiana, the group selected by Planned Parenthood for internal reforms, has close ties with Planned Parenthood. Prevent Child Abuse of Indiana's lead "prevention specialist," Carol Pool, worked for Planned Parenthood of Indiana for thirteen years as an "educator" who gave sex education workshops.

Abuse Pattern Develops As Second Planned Parenthood Covers Up Statutory Rape Of 13 Year-Old

H/T Pat Dollard.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Undercover footage from a second Indiana Planned Parenthood clinic shows an emerging pattern of abuse, as more clinic counselors evade their legal responsibility to report the statutory rape of young girls. The new footage is the second video in Live Action Film’s “Mona Lisa Project,” a series of investigations documenting how secret abortions keep young girls trapped in cycles of sexual abuse.

In the video, shot undercover this summer at a Planned Parenthood in Indianapolis, two employees state they “don’t care” about the age difference between a 31-year-old man and the 13-year-old girl he was reported to have impregnated. A previously released video shot at a Bloomington Planned Parenthood showed similar results. Neither the Bloomington nor Indianapolis clinics reported the rape and both clinics counseled the 13-year-old to obtain a secret abortion across state lines where no parental consent laws applied.

At both clinics, Lila Rose, student journalist and president of Live Action, enters posing as a 13-year-old girl and discloses she is pregnant by a 31-year-old man. The Indianapolis staffer states, “We don’t really care about who, what, the age of the boyfriend.” She then sends Rose to a counselor, who after hearing about the 31-year-old also states, “I don’t care how old he is.” When Rose tells the counselor that her mother would be upset about the 31-year-old boyfriend, the counselor informs Rose that “the surrounding states don’t have parental consent. I can’t tell you anymore.”

In Bloomington, the nurse declares, “I don’t want to know how old he is” and instructs Rose to travel to an Illinois Planned Parenthood and say her 31-year-old boyfriend is only fourteen. Although the Bloomington clinic fired its nurse, Rose says this is not an isolated incident. “We have more videos documenting this pattern of law-breaking within Planned Parenthood. There are actual cases all across the country where their failure to follow state statutes has allowed predators to continue their sexual abuse of young girls.”

On Monday, Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter launched an investigation of Planned Parenthood in response to the Bloomington footage. Indiana State Representative Jackie Walorski and right-to-life advocacy groups including American Life League publicly called for the investigation. In 2005, the Attorney General also sought the records of 84 Planned Parenthood patients under the age of fourteen who may have been victims of sexual abuse, but Planned Parenthood sued to prevent their release.’

Rose commends the Attorney General’s efforts. “We applaud Mr. Carter’s integrity and urge him to conduct a thorough and complete investigation, despite any political attacks Planned Parenthood may attempt against him personally or his office.”

Rose challenges Planned Parenthood to cooperate. “Planned Parenthood must release files they have previously sued to keep private and allow state authorities to conduct a complete investigation.” She adds, “Mandatory reporting laws are necessary for the protection of young girls, and Planned Parenthood must not be allowed to sabotage them.”

The video is available online at;

Obama's Promise to Planned Parenthood

Should President-elect Obama keep his promise to PP?

December 11, 2008

Dear Friend,

On July 8, President-elect Barack Obama told Planned Parenthood: “The first thing I would do as president is to sign the Freedom of Choice Act.” The Freedom of Choice Act will eradicate nearly every state and federal abortion law that protects the unborn baby. It would also prevent states from enacting any similar protective measures for the unborn in the future.

Should President-elect Barack Obama keep his promise to Planned Parenthood and strike down nearly every pro-life law in America?

We want your opinion. Take the poll. Results will be delivered to President-elect Barack Obama.
Please forward this to family and friends.


Sincerely,

Don

Donald E. Wildmon,
Founder and Chairman

More on the Abortion Gift Certificate Issue

Planned Parenthood condemned for 'lethal gift certificates'
Ken Kusmer - Associated Press Writer

11/29/2008 4:45:00 AM

INDIANAPOLIS - The nation's leading abortion provider is under fire for handing out gift certificates for its services.

Pro-life supporters say the scheme by Planned Parenthood of Indiana denigrates the holiday season.


The network of 35 clinics across the state announced it is offering holiday vouchers for basic health care services "or the recipient's choice of birth control method."

The organization decided to offer the vouchers because so many people are uninsured or are putting off health care because of prohibitive costs, said Betty Cockrum, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Indiana. Nearly 800,000 Indiana residents don't have health insurance, she said.

Planned Parenthood's annual exams for women, which include Pap tests and breast exams, typically cost $58. The vouchers can be used for the exams, but also for insurance copays and for medication.

Opponents of abortion said Planned Parenthood was making a "mockery" of the holiday season.

"The tragedy is that almost 6,000 fewer children will be celebrating a first Christmas this year because they were aborted in Planned Parenthood's Indiana clinics," said Mike Fichter, president and CEO of Indiana Right to Life.

Planned Parenthood of Indiana operates abortion clinics in Indianapolis, Merrillville and Bloomington.

"They deserve coal in their stocking, not money for lethal gift certificates," said Sister Diane Carollo, director of the Office for Pro-Life Ministry for the Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

But Indiana Health Commissioner Dr. Judy Monroe applauded the Planned Parenthood offer, calling it a "really a meaningful gift.

"Spokeswoman Diane Quest of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America said the Indiana branch is among a handful of its 99 affiliates that currently offer gift certificates or have done so in the past.


Indiana’s Planned Parenthood Offers Holiday Gift Certificates for Clinic Services

Wednesday, December 03, 2008
By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer

(CNSNews.com) – “Looking for an unusual, yet practical gift this holiday season? Planned Parenthood of Indiana is now offering gift certificates for services or the recipient’s choice of birth control.” That’s the pitch on Planned Parenthood of Indiana’s Web site, inviting visitors to purchase gift certificates in $25 increments for all services – including abortion – at its 35 clinics across the state.

“The gift certificates are intended for basic, preventive health care, such as annual exams,” a spokeswoman from Planned Parenthood of Indiana (PPIN) told CNSNews.com. “But it’s up to each patient how they use them.”

Planned Parenthood Federation of America said PPIN is one of a “handful” of its chapters around the country offering the gift certificates.

But critics said Planned Parenthood should not use Christmas as a marketing tool.

“The word inappropriate hardly describes Planned Parenthood’s scheme,” said Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King Jr., who works for a number of pro-life causes, including Priests for Life. “To give someone a gift card from the nation’s largest abortion business to is to give death for Christmas.”

In an Associated Press story, Betty Cockrum, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Indiana, defended the gift certificate campaign, saying it would help the people in the state without health insurance gain access to health care.

The Associated Press also reported that Indiana Health Commissioner Dr. Judy Monroe praised the gift certificates as “a really meaningful gift.”

But King said she finds them offensive, especially as a taxpayer who contributes to the money the U.S. government gives to Planned Parenthood each year through its Title X funding, which does not include paying for abortions.

“No amount of spin can turn this promotion into anything other than an abomination,” King said. “Congress gave Planned Parenthood $3 million last year, and now a chapter of this group is defiling the celebration of our savior’s birth. As one of America’s taxpayers, I want my money back.”

Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-Life Union, told CNSNews.com: “I think in this holiday season where we’re celebrating the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ, it’s ironic that Planned Parenthood would take it upon themselves to offer gift certificates that would include giving money to someone who would be looking to have an abortion or seeking an abortion.

“I think it’s ironic, it’s a diabolic scheme or scam, however you want to put it, and I just think it’s really sad,” Gardner said.

Message and prayer from Wanda Fay;

The goal always being of course to educate and decrease abortions in our country and world by reaching HEARTS. Also to share that Jesus Christ fully paid the price of the GUILT and GRIEF that accompanies abortion. Hopefully HEARTS will be touched to make the RIGHT CHOICE to NOT ABORT. And it also goes back to choosing to wait until marriage, etc. What a big mess we're in!

Dear God forgive us as a nation and society and thank you also for your love forgiveness and power to overcome this horror in America!!

Help us to start today-tonight on DO THE RIGHT THING RADIO Lord! And help us, give us wisdom for educating the masses in the future.

Touch the hearts of INDIVIDUALS, teens, singles, couples, marrieds to NOT ABORT! But let that baby live!

IN the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen

Abortion Gift Certificates Available at Planned Parenthood

Yes you heard that right! Planned Parenthood is now offering "gift certificates" that may be used for abortions just in time to celebrate the greatest birth of all-time.

In this story from WISH-TV in Indianapolis, the following should be enough to outrage any person that has one ounce of moral fiber in their body:





Some Hoosiers 24-Hour News 8 talked to asked if the gift certificates could be used towards abortions. The answer is yes. But, Planned Parenthood said that's not the purpose of the gift certificates.

Chrystal Struben-Hall, Vice President of Planned Parenthood of Indiana said, "They really are intended for preventative healthcare. We decided not to put
restrictions on the gift certificates so it's for whatever people feel they need the services for most."





There will be follow-up on this story later on.
