Planned Parenthood's free publicity

If the Aurora Planned Parenthood site in the Illinois prairie lands is ground zero, then the Denver Planned Parenthood site in the Mile High City is sky zero.
Last month, with a reporter in hot pursuit, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, or PPRM, was forced to come clean about its secret purchase of a city block of property and plans to break ground on a 50,000 square foot mega-mill this November.

PP has admitted to several news outlets it went stealth with plans to build in Denver, Aurora and Portland, Ore., to avoid such pro-life boycotts as were undertaken at the Austin, Texas, Planned Parenthood mill in 2003, which delayed its opening several months.

In Denver, pro-lifers are already realizing PP's fears. Two weeks ago, they conducted a literature drop in the African-American neighborhood of the proposed PP.
(Column continues below)


The brochure informed residents that:

1. PP is racist (95 percent of abortion mills are located in urban areas, according to The Guttmacher Institute, research arm of PP); and
2. PP's founder, Margaret Sanger, was a eugenicist who hung out at KKK rallies ("â?¦ I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey. ... A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered." ~ "Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography," pp. 366-367 of 1971 reprint published by Dover Publications, Inc.; 1938 original published by W.W. Norton & Company).

Friend of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains pro-abort Jim Spencer said in a Sept. 21 RH Reality Check column to never mind Margaret's genocidal tendencies:

Whatever Sanger said about the need to control African-American births during the 1930s, the test 70 years later are actions.

Would a good test be to examine mill locations? No, said Spencer:

Among the lies anti-abortion activists like to tell is that Planned Parenthood targets minority women for abortions. That has already happened in Denver, where the location of the new clinic in a predominantly black neighborhood led to suggestions of racism.

"Suggestions"? Ha.
And now every weekend pro-lifers are picketing the home of Gary Meggison, senior vice president of the PPRM site's general contractor, the Weitz Company.

Beginning today, Colorado Right to Life, or CORTL, plans to picket Weitz's office, which is rented space and should also disturb its landlord and fellow tenants.

Which brings us to the latest pro-abort faux pas in a recent string. For the Weitz picket, CORTL had planned that a Truth Truck with an anti-PP sign drive around the area.

But last Saturday night during CORTL's annual banquet, someone stole this mobile billboard off the Truth Truck in the parking lot.

The billboard stated "Planned Parenthood Kills Babies" and included a Sanger quote reading, "We don't want the word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population."
The Rocky Mountain News reported Monday that according to a witness, "a white male grabbed the 15-foot by 7-foot banner ... put it in his car and drove away from the Denver Tech Center hotel where the banquet was being held."
Problem is that witness got the thief's license plate number. Concluded Rocky Mountain News, "After the theft, a deputy drove several times by the home where the car was registered but no one was home, the sheriff said."

According to Leslie Hanks, CORTL vice president, the thief has not yet been apprehended as of yesterday. But he will face felony charges, since the sign's value is over $1,000.
It will be interesting to see who the thief is and if he is connected to PP of the Rocky Mountains.

Liberals like Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn call such pro-life tactics as protests, lit drops and outing of abortion enablers as "harassment" verging on "blackmail," as he wrote in a column yesterday.
Joe Scheidler of Pro-Life Action League explained to Zorn:

The vivid demonstrations, [Scheidler] said, "are to let the neighbors know that if the abortion clinic goes in, it will be a center of attraction for protesters. They don't want to see these pictures all the time out there on the street, so we hope they'll go to the guys in charge and say 'We don't want those people here.'"

Blackmail, no. Harassment? It could only be considered harassment if someone were ashamed of what they do. Otherwise, it should be considered free publicity.

You keep posting this factually absurd stuff here, Torog, and I guarantee you you'll do far more to promote Planned Parenthood than you ever imagined. You may well already be the most effective pro-Planned Parenthood lobbyist who ever lived.

Howdy birdgirl73,

Now ya have me worried..the end effect of abortion,could very well swell the ranks of satan's minions..by choosing abortion over Life..by choosing irresponsibilty..by ignoring sexual predators and allowing them to continue to prey on more women and girls..by denying fathers their rights..by usurping the authority of God over Life.

Everytime a pre-born child is murdered..the Darkness increases in the world..because we have a choice-to choose Life..over murder..especially of the most defense-less amongst us.

Have a good one ...

Republican favor letting babies be born, then die a natural death due to lack of health care. That way it's "god's will".

Why do toroq's lunatic theories never get moved to conspiracy?

universal health care is a move towards a socialist state, and it goes against the very fiber of the constitution, and declaration of independance's, stance on a minimally involved government...

do you really think your money is more efficiant moving through more hands? and where do you think they will get this money from... it isn't sound free market economics man, please don't support political ideas if you don't understand them... it further excelerates the lack of knowledge the average american already has about it's own exsistence.

i'm sorry but the right to choose these matters, should never be in the hands of the fed, but your local state government...

HAHA, yeah why not? Torog and Pisshead both have views that are considered extreme. Yet only pisshead gets moved to conspiracy. I say we ask for all post regarding religion get moved over to conspiracy since it can't be provin with science.

HighTill, I'm afraid you're the one here who has no idea what you're talking about. You're also the one who needs to read both our constitution and the Declaration of Independence so you won't be attributing information that neither document remotely addresses (your so-called "big government," which people who parrot what they've heard other say about free-market economics and univeral health care but who don't really understand how our health care economy works now love to shout about). Right now, you're putting the decisions about your health care, if you're lucky enough to have any at all, in the hands of big insurance, big pharmaceutical companies, and big hospital corporations. The assumption that private, for-profit industry is going to make decisions on your behalf, be a better steward of your money, and do justice by your personal health is just laughable. Talk to the people who need care now and you'll find out just how unfairly this is working currently.

Only the really uninformed are the ones who're frightened about "socialized medicine" or a "socialist state." I can already tell you that our future health care system--and it's coming eventually, one way or another--will have to be built around the privately structured system we have now. It'll most likely be a combination public-private system. That'll be very different from what you're imagining. You'd do well to read more, learn more about our current health care economy, and do far less fear-mongering until you know a lot more about what you're discussing. The right to choose these matters, by the way, lies in your hands and not in anyone else's. You elect your own government.

wow that picture of the baby being aborted posted by torog is fucked up i didn't actually know doctors performed abortions like that.

[andruejaysin]

Oddly, all the "small government" guys are unfazed by the fact the US spends more on the military than the rest of the world combined. Never a word about "socialized warmongering."

[birdgirl73]

So true, Andruejaysin. Our government under the current Republican (the first ones to shout about small government) administration, both its bureaucracy and its budget, are larger than ever before in history. Anyone can confirm that fact with the GAO or our country's chief comptroller. Our current involvement in this war accounts for a huge percentage of that size, of course. But it certainly makes no sense to me why people who'd be the first in line to object to the government's spending money for health or human services like health care for children or citizens don't for a moment question military or defense spending of far more vast amounts of money and/or bureaucracy to invade a foreign sovereign nation that didn't present a threat to us. (They do present a threat now, of course, and we're stuck. But that wasn't always the case.)

Glad you noticed, Savage Possum, that abortion is an abominable procedure. It is for everyone involved, doctors, pregnant patients, and unborn fetuses alike. Never think that people who are pro-choice like that procedure or its ugly realities. No one with a heart or a functioning mind does. Let this be a lesson to you to make every possible effort to protect against accidental or unwanted pregnancies in the first place so you or those you love won't ever be faced with that choice. This is yet another reason why Planned Parenthood deserves to be accurately reflected here and not distorted through the eyes of the religiously righteous-but-uninformed. For every pregnancy that is terminated through the services of Planned Parenthood, which increasingly sub-contracts those services out, that agency prevents more than 65 pregnancies that might otherwise end in abortion through its family planning and contraception services. As will any other conscientious medical professional, Planned Parenthood will be the first to tell anyone who asks that contraception and family planning are the best way to avoid the hideous realities of abortion before they ever happen. For those that cannot be avoided--and it's my personal belief that they nearly all can or can be directed toward adoption instead--medically informed people know that even it it is made illegal, abortion will not stop. It'll simply revert back to what the services were like before 1973: back-alley butcheries.
