Planned Parenthood's big lie.  Telemed abortion is the practice by which an abortion doctor from a remote location simply presses a button, which opens a drawer containing the dangerous abortion pill, after a brief teleconference call with the woman.  Telemed abortion doesn't only result in the death of an unborn child; it strips women of their dignity by denying them the courtesy of an in-person visit from a doctor concerned for their health and well-being.  It risks their lives by sending them away with no support and a drug that has led to massive bleeding and hemorrhaging, infection and even death.  So what does Planned Parenthood, the "trusted friend of women," love so much about telemed abortions?  Low overhead costs.

Komen for the Cure will no longer be awarding grants to Planned Parenthood, the breast cancer organization's donations have gone up 100 percent in the last two days. Planned Parenthood vs Komen: PP Gets Its Thug On.  Recently, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation announced that it would longer offer funds and grants to Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading abortion mill operator.  This decision has sent Planned Parenthood over the edge of both sanity and civility with a new fundraising letter that dispenses with its past staid talk about women's healthcare and goes straight for thuggish threats of retaliation, finger pointing, and attacks on other women. Susan G. Komen defends cutoff of Planned Parenthood.  Susan G.

Planned Parenthood's 3% lie.  The decision by the management of Susan G. Komen For The Cure, a leading fund-raiser for breast cancer awareness, research and examinations, to stop giving Planned Parenthood $680,000 is about abortion politics and not money.  No woman will die because of this decision because the amount of money is superfluous to both organizations.  This is about symbolism in the fight against abortion on demand.

Planned Parenthood Is Worried... and Should Be.  In an e-mail to supporters the day after the 2010 midterm elections, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards wrote, "There's no getting around it:  the results of yesterday's election are truly alarming."  She lamented the "extremists" who have been elected and who will "pursue a dangerous agenda."  That agenda, of course, is saving unborn children from being murdered. Planned Parenthood Got $349.6 Million in Tax Dollars, Performed 324,008 Abortions.  Planned Parenthood received $349.6 million in tax dollars in the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2008, and it paid its president, Cecile Richards, $385,163, plus another $11,876 in benefits and deferred compensation.  According to a "fact sheet" published by the organization, Planned Parenthood Affiliate Health Centers performed 324,008 abortions in 2008. Planned Parenthood Makes Post-Election Appeal.  In a letter sent to supporters by e-mail on the day after Republicans were swept in as the new majority in the House of Representatives and gained seats in the Senate, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards used the election results to press for an "emergency donation" to help fight against "dangerous politicians who oppose women's health and the right to choose." Quietly racking up the abortion toll.  While Planned Parenthood continues to sit on its annual report for 2008-2009, new documents found hidden on its labyrinthine website give taxpayers an insider's look into the beleaguered abortion monopoly it is helping fund.  The numbers paint the grisly picture of an organization beset by financial problems yet determined to increase income by killing more preborn human beings. A black hole for babies and bucks.  Why do we continue to fund Planned Parenthood to the tune of $349 million annually and not hold it accountable for how it spends that money? ... Why is an organization that kills more than 300,000 innocent unborn children each year sanctioned and funded by our government?  Can an organization that operates more than 800 facilities in 50 states and has an annual budget of more than $1 billion really be hiding from public view? Defund Planned Parenthood.  Some people may not abhor Planned Parenthood for its past and present racism and abortion profiteering.  Others may shrug at its systemic, criminal avoidance of statutory rape laws, and tawdry "sexual education" guides aimed at teenagers.  But perhaps even some of the group's most ardent defenders will recoil from the latest addition to the odious outfit's ongoing carnival of moral degradation. Government Funded Front Groups.  [Scroll down]  Planned Parenthood, one of America's leading abortion providers is also the recipient of hundreds of millions of taxpayer donations every year.  Planned Parenthood also vigorously supports Democrats including the current occupant of the Oval Office.  A source of money and votes so potent the Illuminati of the Government Party feel it necessary to pay homage during every election cycle saluting the abortion flag and taking the pledge of loyalty. Rewriting History on Abortion.  "There's absolutely nothing in anything that [Susan B. Anthony] ever said or did that would indicate she was anti-abortion," Planned Parenthood founder Gloria Feldt.  Absolutely nothing?  A quick Google search disproves that in a hurry. Outrage Over ACORN, but Not Abortion.  The ACORN scandal shows that if Congress wants to act, it can.  Within weeks of Fox airing videos of a couple posing as a pimp and a prostitute being advised by ACORN "community organizers" on how to evade taxes and set up a prostitution ring, our stalwart Washington legislators voted to cut off federal funds to the organization  But similar publicized abuses at Planned Parenthood — workers agreeing to cover up rape or earmarking funds to abort black babies — all captured on video and audio — produced no similar action in Washington to cut off funds.  Why? Planned Parenthood Deserves the ACORN Treatment.  Lost in the deserved attention to the ACORN sting film has been [James] O'Keefe's first release, a 2007 expose of the systemic corruption at another liberal activist organization, Planned Parenthood.  ACORN is losing some of its federal funding in part because of O'Keefe's video.  But the Planned Parenthood story, in which O'Keefe and a friend posing as his pregnant minor girlfriend expose the abortion giant's willingness to cover up alleged statutory rape, is just as incriminating. The Profitable Nonprofit.  Left-wing activists are indignant at obscene oil company profits, hefty CEO bonuses, and sweet golden parachutes — but what about expansion of the No. 1 violator of human rights in the United States?  No, it's not Dick Cheney and the CIA.  It's Planned Parenthood.  The abortion giant took home $85 million in "excess of revenue over expenses" (a nifty way of saying profits) and had an operating budget of over $1 billion for the 2007-2008 fiscal year, according to its latest annual report. Planned Parenthood Should Not Receive Federal Tax Dollars!  Planned Parenthood receives more than $300 million each year from the federal government and state governments for its "family planning" activities.  Planned Parenthood's annual report says it has a nearly $1 billion budget and gets one-third of that money from government grants and contracts.  Planned Parenthood, however, is also the largest killer of unborn babies through abortion in the nation.  By its own admission, Planned Parenthood exterminated more than a quarter million babies last year!  In addition, various affiliates of Planned Parenthood are under investigation for numerous illegal activities. Planned Parenthood Scandals Spread.  In Kansas, the Planned Parenthood clinic is facing 107 felony and misdemeanor charges … for a variety of alleged crimes that include falsifying medical records and performing abortions past the date permitted by state law.  In addition, the clinic faces charges of covering up statutory rape cases involving underage girls. Video captures abortion coaching.  Planned Parenthood of Indiana has suspended a nurse after the release of an undercover videotape showing her coaching a supposed 13-year-old on how to duck Indiana's laws about parental consent on abortion and the reporting of child sex abuse.  The videotape shows Lila Rose, the president of a university pro-life group and a brunette, posing as a blond 13-year-old girl named "Brianna" and telling the Planned Parenthood nurse at the clinic in Bloomington, Ind., that she is pregnant by a 31-year-old man. Indiana Planned Parenthood Suspends Nurse Taped by Pro-life Activist Posing as 13-Year-Old.  Planned Parenthood of Indiana has suspended a staff member at its Bloomington, Ind., clinic after a pro-life student group posted a video online that allegedly shows the nurse advising a pro-life activist who is posing as a 13-year-old girl.  On the video, the activist suggests that she is pregnant and that the father of the child may be 31 years old. More Proof the Inmates Are Running the Asylum.  In Bloomington, Indiana, an undercover pro-life college student told a Planned Parenthood "nurse" that she was 13 and had been impregnated by a 31-year-old man.  The nurse told the girl not to disclose her age or the age of the man.  She then encouraged the girl to lie and say that the "boy" in question was 14.  Apparently, local police, although they have been notified of the statutory rape implications in this case, have chosen to do nothing to investigate Planned Parenthood.  They did, however, post extra security around the clinic in case of a "pro-life backlash." But wait -- there's more! Another abortion clinic under investigation.  Another Indiana abortion clinic is accused of violating the law and failing to report statutory rape.  For the second time this month, Lila Rose, a college student at UCLA and founder of Live Action Films, walked into an Indiana Planned Parenthood clinic and videotaped what appears to be damaging criminal evidence of staff members. Kansas Legal System Protects Planned Parenthood.  The situation in Kansas is extremely fluid and legal maneuverings are taking place nearly every day on the criminal prosecution of Planned Parenthood by Johnson County D.A. [Phill] Kline.  The Kansas Attorney General and Kansas Supreme Court seem to be working together to forbid a key judge from testifying on behalf of Kline in his prosecution of Planned Parenthood.  The A.G. was also trying to get abortion records back from Kline's office apparently in order to sabotage his case against Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood Puts A Hit Out On Black Children.  Planned Parenthood has a public face that says they are supporting the rights of women to assert their reproductive rights.  Unfortunately, recent investigations and reports suggest that this organization is actually peddling death in an aggressive and unethical manner.  In Kansas the organization is under criminal investigation for falsifying documents and performing late term abortions.  It faces 23 felony counts.  Planned Parenthood has also dealt in the realm of deception concerning the age of its customers.  In Ohio, Planned Parenthood is being sued for failing to report the rape of a 16-year-old by her father. [ ... and the feminists are totally silent.] Aborting the Truth:  Deception behind taxpayer funded-abortion clinics.  A nationally recognized organization may be intentionally distributing false information while protecting rapists and child predators.  And the federal government has given them $3.9 billion since 1987 in taxpayer funds.  Planned Parenthood has been caught in a tangled web.  The spotlight is finally being shed on this organization, which has failed to legally report the pregnancies of a 16-year-old who was raped by her father, of an 11-year-old girl who was impregnated by her stepfather, and of a 15-year-old who was sexually assaulted and impregnated by her stepfather's friend. Planned Parenthood Should Not Receive Federal Tax Dollars!  Planned Parenthood receives more than $300 million each year from the federal government and state governments for its "family planning" activities.  Planned Parenthood's annual report says it has a nearly $1 billion budget and gets one-third of that money from government grants and contracts.  Planned Parenthood, however, is also the largest killer of unborn babies through abortion in the nation.  By its own admission, Planned Parenthood exterminated more than a quarter million babies last year!  In addition, various affiliates of Planned Parenthood are under investigation for numerous illegal activities. Kansas Planned Parenthood Scandal Rolls On.  The scandal in Kansas involving a Planned Parenthood clinic and official government corruption is probably one of the most unreported stories in recent history.  The Kansas media has been dutifully misreporting the scandal and its implications, while the so-called mainstream media (MSM) outside of Kansas appears committed to ignoring it altogether. The Racism and Politics of Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthoods across the nation are strategically placed in low-income, highly African-American populated areas — where poor women are more likely to have access.  In fact, 62.5% of PP clinics are located in these communities and when you include Hispanic neighborhoods, the number increases to 70%. Planned Parenthood Slush Fund.  The Planned Parenthood Federation of America is a near-billion-dollar organization, the nation's number one abortion merchant, and maybe the world's largest as well.  It is also a major consumer of tax dollars, more than $300 million in 2006, with the Democratic Congress poised to give them even more. Planned Parenthood Sues to Strike Down Missouri Abortion Law.  Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit Monday [8/20/2007] seeking to strike down a new Missouri law that it claims could eliminate abortion services in large parts of the state by subjecting clinics to stringent state oversight. Pro-life advocate blasts lack of inspections of abortion clinics.  The head of American Life League's "Stop Planned Parenthood" division says many abortion facilities aren't inspected as often as the law calls for.  Jim Sedlak says this shows that the elected officials who claim to support women's rights have no concern for women's rights, not to mention the rights of unborn children. Planned Parenthood Reports Record Abortions, High Profits.  Despite a drop in donations and the first fall in income from clinics in its history, the nation's biggest abortion provider made a high profit last year, thanks to the American taxpayer.  Pro-lifers want this to stop. Planned Parenthood:  Dialing for death.  In a recent press release, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) announced that it would be "giving customers the power to make a difference with every [cell phone] call they make."  Tragically, however, when Planned Parenthood talks about making a difference, we know it's the difference between life and death. Planned Parenthood Blamed for Woman's Death.  A California woman has filed a medical malpractice and wrongful death lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, alleging that the abortion provider contributed to her daughter's death. There were 91,700 Abortions in New York City in 2004.  For every 100 babies born in New York City, women had 74 abortions in 2004, according to newly released figures that reaffirm the city as the abortion capital of the country. … [Planned Parenthood]'s Margaret Sanger Center in Manhattan is the largest abortion provider in New York, with 11,000 abortions performed a year. Poor Planned Parenthood?  As much as liberals decry major corporations that act as if they're above the law, there's always quiet when the subject is Planned Parenthood, America's No. 1 corporate provider of abortions. During its 2005-2006 fiscal year, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America performed a record 264,943 abortions, reported a tidy profit of $55.8 million — and received a record high in taxpayer funding of $305.3 million. This is one corporation the media hold in the highest regard. Planned Parenthood Threatens to Sue Undercover Activist.  Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles is threatening to sue a student pro-life activist who recorded an abortion clinic employee encouraging her to lie about her age to avoid being reported as a victim of statutory rape.  Lila Rose, an 18-year-old sophomore at the University of California Los Angeles, is the founder of a pro-life magazine on campus.  In March, she entered a Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles (PPLA) clinic, posing as a pregnant 15-year-old and said her boyfriend was 23 years old. Abortion Provider Caught Encouraging Minor to Lie About Age.  Planned Parenthood is under fire after one of its employees was recorded encouraging a student — who was posing as a pregnant minor — to lie about her age in order to obtain an abortion without the abortion provider having to report the "statutory rape" to the police. Undercover double standards.  Where are the muckraking champions when you need them?  Intrepid Lila Rose has learned the hard way:  Not all undercover journalists are equal. Portland Development Commission looks beyond abortion, OKs clinic.  In a controversial vote before a standing-room crowd, the city of Portland gave its OK on Wednesday for Planned Parenthood to relocate its regional headquarters to a city-owned lot along Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Abortion Debate Rages in Chicago Suburb.  The name of the company applying for the building permits sounded like just another firm.  On paper, the brick structure looked much like any other medical complex.  Then it was revealed that the company, Gemini Office Development, is a subsidiary of Planned Parenthood — and that the building would include space where abortions would be performed. Planned Parenthood Federation Names A New President.  Cecile Richards, a liberal political activist and the daughter of former Texas Gov. Ann Richards, is the new president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Why are we paying for Planned Parenthood?  Planned Parenthood has received in the last two years — that they've reported — over $500 million in taxpayer money.  America needs to wake up to this disturbing fact!  On one hand, Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in America, is funded in large part by our hard-earned tax dollars.  This money is allocated from Congress.  Then Planned Parenthood turns around and sues Congress for passing a law banning partial-birth abortion. Will Holly Patterson Die in Vain?  Eighteen-year old Holly Patterson entered a Planned Parenthood clinic on a Wednesday expecting to safely abort her pregnancy.  Within one week, she was dead. Administration Files Appeal in Partial Birth Abortion Case.  "Planned Parenthood is fully prepared to go back to court to ensure that this dangerous abortion ban never harms American woman," said Planned Parenthood President Gloria Feldt said in a statement.  She called the partial birth abortion ban a "transparent act of hostility toward women's health, the right to medical privacy and the Supreme Court of the United States." The Blackmun Wall:  a listing of the women killed by legal abortions.  Abortion clinic operators like Planned Parenthood like to pretend that the decision written by Justice Blackmun made abortions safe and legal, but the truth is that making abortion legal never made abortion safe.  Abortionists are the bottom-feeders of the medical profession and abortion procedures jeopardize the health of the mother in order to terminate pregnancy.  "Safe legal abortions" killed every one of the women on this site. Put up or shut up.  It isn't really surprising that Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry are attempting to hide the facts.  They've been doing so ever since the existence of the procedure [partial-birth abortion] became known.  They first claimed that no such procedure existed.  When that collapsed, they argued that the fetus was killed by the anesthesia administered to the mother.  When anesthesiologists protested, they admitted that this wasn't true — but that the procedure was so rarely performed it wasn't worth talking about.  And when that lie was exposed, they urged that it was only done to save the life of the mother or in cases of severe fetal deformity.  None of those statements was true.  Now they are saying partial-birth abortions are being performed to save the health of the mother.  Let's see the proof. Pro-Abortion Group Partners With Local Library System:  A financial agreement between Planned Parenthood of Central Texas and the City of Waco has enabled the pro-abortion group to incorporate its agenda into the local public library system.  The Planned Parenthood library also warns patrons that it can deny access "to anyone who has participated in protests," against the group. Planned Parenthood Celebrates 30 Years Of Abortion:  Pro-abortion protesters gathered outside the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday [1/22/2003] to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the court's Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion throughout pregnancy, and to warn of what they call President "Bush's war on women." Defund Planned Parenthood.  This is … a column about a "non-profit," tax-exempt corporation that rakes in more than a quarter-billion dollars in U.S. taxpayer money every year and boasts of being the world's largest "abortion provider."  It's called Planned Parenthood.  It is a disgusting, evil organization that somehow operates under its own set of rules — unaccountable in any way, shape or form to the rules and regulations governing other so-called "non-profits." Black Pro-Lifers Demand Parties Refuse Planned Parenthood Funding.  The Planned Parenthood Federation of America is expected to spend $10 million this year on voter mobilization, according to The Los Angeles Times, and its political action committee has donated $60,000 to federal office candidates so far this year.  Planned Parenthood receives a little over $300 million in government grants and contracts, according to its latest annual report, and its political action fund voted in June "to recommend endorsement of Senator Obama" for president. Planned Parenthood Vows to Help Elect 'Progressive Voices'.  The head of the largest abortion provider in America declared Tuesday [6/13/2006] that she and her organization — which accepts taxpayer funds — intend to use their resources to "swing the vote" and "help progressive voices win" elections across the country. Planned Parenthood Secretly Buys Land for New Offices.  The nation's biggest abortion provider is seeking to avoid opposition when buying property or building new facilities through secrecy, or what one pro-life leader called "a series of cover-ups" in such places as Denver, Colo., Portland, Ore., and Aurora, Ill. Planned Parenthood Offers Gift Certificates.  The nation's leading provider of abortions has caused a stir by offering holiday gift certificates that cover the basic health-care services offered at Indiana's 35 clinics, as well as "the recipient's choice of birth-control method." ... But critics of Planned Parenthood argue the abortion provider is making a mockery of the Christmas [season], trivializing the plight of the unborn and continuing to denigrate people of faith, just as the organization's various "Choice on Earth" programs did in the past.  "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," Mike Fichter, president and CEO of Indiana Right to Life, told the Associated Press. Shame on Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood has reached a new low.  Planned Parenthood-Indiana is giving the "gift of death" to the unborn this holiday season.  The organization has announced that gift certificates in $25 increments can be purchased for exams, insurance copays and medication at its 35 clinics in Indiana.  The certificates can also be used to pay for abortions, adding to the 5,000 it says it performs each year in Indiana.  This means that girls and women will be given another means and economic incentive to choose death rather than to choose life. Planned Parenthood, a Social Disease.  The mission of Planned Parenthood has changed since the days of founder Margaret Sanger.  Among the eugenicist's progressive efforts, in 1939, Sanger conceived the "Negro Project" to reduce the population of "inferior" black Americans.  Today, Planned Parenthood claims to deliver "vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of women, men, and young people worldwide."  Noble language.  But visiting PPF's abortion-focused website makes traditional Americans feel dirty. GAO:  Planned Parenthood received $657 million in tax dollars over last seven years.  The Government Accountability Office has a released a report, "Fiscal Years 2002-2009 Obligations, Disbursements, and Expenditures for Selected Organizations Involved in Health-Related Activities."  But despite the soporific title, the report contains some pretty startling revelations about the amount government funding going to groups either perform abortions or advocate it. Olson slams federal funds for family planning organizations.  American taxpayers meted out at least $967 million to family planning organizations such as Planned Parenthood over the last eight years — money that anti-abortion lawmakers claim frees up other private dollars to perform abortions.  Rep. Pete Olson, R-Sugar Land, led the effort by 31 Republican lawmakers to obtain an audit from Congress' watchdog Government Accountability Office on federal spending for family planning organizations. Pence:  GAO Report Confirms it is Time to Defund Planned Parenthood.  U.S. Congressman Mike Pence today issued the following statement regarding the release of a new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report revealing that the Planned Parenthood Federation of America received $657.1 million in taxpayer dollars from Fiscal Year 2002 to Fiscal Year 2009.  The largest source of these funds ($342.1 million) was the Title X family planning program. Planned Parenthood's missing millions.  Planned Parenthood Federation of America's (PPFA) audits show the organization spent just $657.1 million between 2002 and 2008 from federal government grants and programs, but the abortion behemoth's own annual reports show that it took in $2.3 billion from government grants and programs during the same time period. Update: Planned Parenthood's millions still missing.  Last June, we broke the story titled "Planned Parenthood's missing millions" that focused on $1.3 billion of government money received by Planned Parenthood from 2003 to 2008, which was left unaccounted for when the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report on the expenditures of federal funds by the abortion giant.  Our question to Planned Parenthood was:  Where are those missing millions? GAO Report on Planned Parenthood Reveals Startling Discrepancy.  According to the GAO report, Planned Parenthood Federation of America audits show the organization spent only $657.1 million between 2002 and 2008 from federal government grants and programs when the abortion behemoth's annual reports show it took in $2 billion from government grants and programs during the same time period. Pelosi applauded at Planned Parenthood event.  At an event hosted by Planned Parenthood on Capitol Hill, Pelosi received rock-star treatment from 300 energetic high-school and college-student volunteers clad in hot-pink T-shirts and flip flops.  The students came to Washington from around the country to lobby lawmakers on the implementation of the health-care reform bill.  Pelosi drew laughs and applause when she described getting the health-care bill through the House. How Does a Planned Parenthood Gift Card Say Merry Christmas?  While it's obvious to most Americans that central to the Christmas season is a special birth and the family-centered celebrations which mark that event, several Planned Parenthood affiliates decided to offer "the gift of life" certificates — services to include abortions.  Oh yes, indeed, nothing says "Happy Birthday" like an abortion from Planned Parenthood. Margaret Sanger and the roots of Planned Parenthood On Margaret Sanger, the Soviets, and Democrats:  "[W]e could well take example from Russia," advised Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, "where birth control instruction is part of the regular welfare service of the government."  Sanger, racial-eugenicist who spoke to a 1926 KKK rally, whose work included a "Negro Project," who wished to rid America of "human weeds" and "morons" and "imbeciles," and who wanted birth control for "race improvement," had just returned from a pilgrimage to Stalin's Russia.  Like many progressives (click here for John Dewey's experiences), she went there to soak in the alleged triumphs of the communist motherland, marveling at Lenin's and Stalin's advancements for women. History of America's Racist Left:  Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger spoke at a 1926 Ku Klux Klan rally, used the "n" word in reference to blacks, and deemed Aboriginal Australians "the lowest known species of the human family, just a step higher than the chimpanzee in brain development." … Despite all this and more, a friendly historian recently judged, "Sanger was no racist." … To advocate certain progressive ideas is, for fellow progressives, evidence of innocence. Dr. King, Roe v. Wade and Margaret Sanger:  Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger formed the organization to implement the eugenic ideology that prevailed in the early 20th century.  The eugenicists with whom she aligned herself espoused belief, as Sanger put it, in the "supremacy" and "purity" of certain races of people, notably the Aryan race.  They believed the "fit" should be encouraged to reproduce, while the "unfit" should constrain their numbers.  The "unfit" were the poor, racial minorities and certain groups of immigrants, and the physically and mentally handicapped.  They sought to accomplish this through sterilization, birth control and, eventually, abortion. Liberals Lie, Children Die.  It is horrific enough that the purpose in the original founding of Planned Parenthood was to originally wipe out the future generations of black children.  To understand the depth of the racism Margaret Sanger practiced and believed personally is nauseating.  She detailed much of it for posterity in her own writings. A Dark Past.  Margaret Sanger, whose American Birth Control League became Planned Parenthood, was the founding mother of the birth-control movement.  She is today considered a liberal saint, a founder of modern feminism, and one of the leading lights of the Progressive pantheon.  Gloria Feldt of Planned Parenthood proclaims, "I stand by Margaret Sanger's side," leading "the organization that carries on Sanger's legacy." Hillary in 'inter-generational partnership' with eugenicist Sanger.  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has accepted an award from Planned Parenthood named after the pro-abortion group's founder, who once referred to blacks as "human weeds."  Secretary of State Clinton was presented on Friday evening [3/24/2009] with the Margaret Sanger Award at a Planned Parenthood event in Houston.  The award, says Planned Parenthood, is presented annually to recognize "leadership, excellence, and outstanding contributions to the reproductive health and rights movement." Singing Sanger's Praises, Whistling Past the Graveyard.  "We want fewer and better children ... and we cannot make the social life and the world-peace we are determined to make, with the ill-bred, ill-trained swarms of inferior citizens that you inflict on us."  That ghastly pro-eugenics message appeared in the introduction to Margaret Sanger's 1922 book, "The Pivot of Civilization."  In a little-noticed incident, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently announced that she is "really in awe" of Sanger. Mrs. Clinton Can't Defend Patron Saint of Planned Parenthood.  Mrs. Sanger was certainly a birth control pioneer.  But when you examine the totality of Sanger's views, you'd think modern feminists would blanche — at least a little.  Sanger was a most thoroughgoing racist.  "Eugenics," she wrote, "is the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political, and social problems." What were Notre Dame officials thinking?  One of those diehard racists and eugenicists of Scopes' time was Margaret Sanger.  Yes, the founder of Planned Parenthood was a eugenicist who, according to author Edwin Black in "War Against The Weak," "advocated for mass sterilization of so-called defectives (and) mass incarceration of the unfit."  Sanger also "vigorously opposed charitable efforts to uplift the downtrodden and deprived, and argued extensively that it was better that the cold and hungry be left without help, so that the eugenically superior strains could multiply without competition from 'the unfit.'  She repeatedly referred to the lower classes and the unfit as 'human waste' not worthy of assistance, and proudly quoted the extreme eugenic view that human 'weeds' should be exterminated." Obama, Ginsburg, and the Ghost of Margaret Sanger:  [Scroll down]  In Sanger's mind, there was never a doubt that abortion — albeit an abhorrent procedure — should not only be recognized as the inalienable right of every woman, but that it could also serve as a highly effective tool for fashioning a healthier and more productive society.  In terms of methodology, such a goal could be achieved by systematically filtering out the varied ethnic and socio-economic people groups deemed as offering no discernible benefit to the rest of the general population. Time for a Separation of Science and State.  Arguably, scientific fact changes more rapidly than religious dogma.  What was undeniable truth one day might be discovered to be quackery the next.  The most glaring example of this in the 20th century is the science of eugenics. Margaret Sanger's shop now open in East Knox.  This call to pre-emptively rid America of the diseased and maladjusted, according to the March 31, 1941, issue of Time magazine, was sponsored by the National Committee of Planned Parenthood on behalf of Margaret Sanger's Birth Control Federation of America.  Sanger, who founded Planned Parenthood in 1916, was a proponent of eugenics, the belief that humankind would benefit if the "unfit" didn't reproduce while the "fit" procreated profusely. Abortion as an attempt to exterminate black Americans CDC: Black abortion rate triple U.S. average.  Adjusted for population, the abortion rate among black women is roughly triple the national average.  Citing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics, Cybercast News Service reported that African-Americans account for 36.5% of the nation's abortions while making up 12.6% of nation's population. Black tea partier calls Democrats the 'party of the KKK'.  Conservative activist Apostle Claver Kamau-Imani, founder and chairman of Raging Elephants, told the Daily Caller that abortion in the United States amounts to "genocide ... of African American babies."  And he sent liberals on MSNBC into fits of horror Wednesday [10/26/2011] after he spoke to a Houston tea party rally and called Democrats "racists" and "the party of the Ku Klux Klan."  "If anybody is racist it is the Democratic Party," he said.  "They're the racists, the party of the Ku Klux Klan, the party of Jim Crow, the party of Bull Conner, the party of segregation."  "They are the racists, not us.  We're their friends, we're the emancipators, we're the liberators, we're the ones who believe in freedom." When Will Black America Wake Up and Stop the Carnage?  In an alternate reality, 54 million blacks would be alive in America today.  When adjusted for abortion, the number is 39 million.  The National Black Prolife Coalition says an average of 1,000 black babies are aborted every day.  Nationally, nearly one in three black pregnancies ends in abortion each year.  In New York City in 2009, 47%, or 40,798, of the city's 87,273 abortions were performed on black women. The Death Penalty Does Not Deter Liberals.  Liberals are compassionate people.  That's why they support abortion and oppose the death penalty.  They figure it's best to kill a majority of black children before they are born.  If they did not, a small minority of those black children would later commit homicide.  Liberals are not just compassionate people.  They're logical, too. Like Voting for Hitler!  Though Hispanics made up 12.5% of the U.S. population Hispanic women accounted for 25% of all U.S. abortions in 2008-10.  San Antonio boasts a large Hispanic population and I imagine that the Planned Parenthood killing clinics there are extremely busy.  Almost all Democrats support the right to abortion and for the continued funding of Planned Parenthood Clinics.  To me, Blacks and Hispanics who vote for pro abortion Democrats are like "Jews voting for Hitler!" Herman Cain: 'It's Not Planned Parenthood — No, It's Planned Genocide'.  Likely Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain supports ending all federal funding to Planned Parenthood, an abortion business that he said was founded to target African Americans and is continuing that mission.  "Here's why I support de-funding Planned Parenthood, because you don't hear a lot of people talking about this, when Margaret Sanger — check my history — started Planned Parenthood, the objective was to put these centers in primarily black communities so they could help kill black babies before they came into the world," Cain told CNSNews.com on Tuesday [3/15/2011] when speaking at the conservative Heritage Foundation. Cain: Planned Parenthood's mission is 'planned genocide' of black babies.  Using unusually harsh words, a potential presidential candidate echoed some previous comments:  claiming that Planned Parenthood's original mission was to "help kill black babies before they came into the world."  Herman Cain went on to say that the sexual and reproductive health care provider is carrying out its mission of "planned genocide."  In response, the group said that Cain is using "inflammatory and divisive language based on race to achieve extreme political goals" of ending legal abortion. Free-Speech NYC.  A black clergyman in Texas, the Rev.

Sharpton and Obama Ignore Planned Parenthood's Racist Underbelly.  Reverend Al Sharpton called a press conference this past week to denounce an anti-abortion billboard overlooking New York City's Soho district.  The sign depicting a young black girl read "The Most Dangerous Place for an African-American is in the Womb." ... Sharpton's charge of racial profiling prompted Lifealways to remove the sign before the Friday press conference.  The fact that for every 1000 African-American births there are 1,489 aborted black babies in New York City did not convince the Reverend that something is going on in his community besides racism. Time to Defund the Destruction of Human Life.  According to the Daily Caller, the number of prenatal clients Planned Parenthood served was less than 0.09 percent of the total services it provided in 2008.  Pregnant women seeking help from Planned Parenthood were 27 times more likely to receive an abortion than to receive prenatal care or be referred for adoption.  Appalling still, 70% of these abortion factories are concentrated in minority neighborhoods.  Black childbearing women make up just 3% of the population but a heartbreaking 30% of abortions.  Hispanic women make up another 25%.  In 1971, well-known eugenicist Frederick Osborn proclaimed, "Birth control and abortion are proving to be the great eugenics advances of our time." Aborting the Race Card.  If his past roles in shameful and deadly incidents haven't already fully exposed the Rev. Al Sharpton as a charlatan of a self-proclaimed civil-rights leader, his recent performance on Sean Hannity's television show should do it.  Sharpton refused to engage former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum on the issue of the eugenics history of abortion activism in the United States, and on the continuing racial disparity in the number of abortions performed.

What Would MLK Do?  Would MLK endorse abortion rights?  Perhaps if Barack Obama took the opportunity to hear Alveda King, MLK's niece, speak on the genocide that abortion has inflicted on the black community, he might have a change of heart; but as it stands now, Obama has embraced the most radical pro-abortion views of any post-Roe presidential candidate.  Considering Obama's claim to share King's Christian faith, this seems quite extraordinary.  As Alveda King passionately explains, the crime of abortion is quite akin to slavery:  "How can the 'Dream' survive if we murder our children?

Ginsburg and the Surplus Population:  [Scroll down slowly]  The entire Ginsburg interview is a reminder of the risks of lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court.  Immune from criticism, surrounded by plump cushions of deference, the temperament of a justice can become exaggerated over time.  For Ginsburg, complex arguments are now "so obvious" and "can never be otherwise" — and opposition is fated to failure.  Such statements, made during Ginsburg's own nomination hearing, would have been disqualifying.  Now she doesn't [care].
