THE WEDNESDAY STOPP REPORT

5,095

Last week we told you that Planned Parenthood released its new numbers and says it committed 264,943 abortions in 2005. That works out to 5,095 abortions every week.

This is a horrendous number and we ask you all to publicize it as much as possible. Some suggestions for points you can work into talks, or letters-to-the-editor, or put on signs are:

• Planned Parenthood claims abortion is only five percent of its business, but that five percent ends the lives of 5,095 Americans every week – more than the 3,000 Americans that died in the terrorist attacks on September 11.
• Planned Parenthood says it prevents abortions through contraceptives, yet the organization ends the lives of 5,095 every week – every 12 weeks, Planned Parenthood kills more Americans than the number who lost their lives in the Vietnam War.
• Planned Parenthood says it is pro-choice, not pro-abortion, yet it commits 5,095 abortions every week – killing more Americans each week than have died in the entire Iraq war.
• Planned Parenthood says it does prenatal care – so what? It kills 5,095 babies in the womb every week.
• Planned Parenthood says it needs taxpayer money so it can see more customers, yet it already kills 5,095 babies each week – how many more will it kill if it gets more tax dollars?
• Planned Parenthood says it provides health services, yet Planned Parenthood kills 5,095 innocent human beings every week, making Planned Parenthood the fourth leading cause of death in the United States – behind non-Planned Parenthood abortions (19,700 a week), heart disease (12,500 a week) and cancer (10,500 a week).
• The Susan G. Komen Foundation gives Planned Parenthood money to do testing to prevent deaths from breast cancer, yet Planned Parenthood kills 5,095 Americans every week – over six times the estimated 800 a week that die from breast cancer.

You get the idea. Let’s never forget the 5,095 babies that will die at Planned Parenthood this week. Whenever Planned Parenthood talks, whatever claims it makes, we should have but one reply: 5,095.

Planned Parenthood honored by Florida officials

Planned Parenthood of South Palm Beach and Broward County recently held its annual awards ceremony where actress Heather Tom reiterated her support of the organization and publicly condemned the funding of abstinence education and the ban on the partial-birth abortion procedure. Also at the ceremony an award was bestowed to Janet Boyle because of her role as financial benefactor of a new PP clinic which bears her name.

Immediately after the awards ceremony the crowd gathered at the location of Planned Parenthood’s newest express clinic at Palm Plaza in Deerfield Beach. At the ribbon cutting, a representative from county commissioner Kristin Jacob’s office presented the CEO of the PP affiliate with a proclamation from the local board of county commissioners and signed by Mayor Josephus Eggelletion, Jr. This proclamation designated the day as “Planned Parenthood of South Palm Beach and Broward County, Inc. Day.”

Outrageous! Not only has Planned Parenthood been allowed to expand its radical and dangerous agenda by opening this clinic but the officials of the city are honoring its affiliate for doing so. This is an organization that just last week publicly confirmed with its new service numbers that it has killed over 4 million Americans.

We encourage our readers to contact Commissioner Jacobs and Mayor Eggelletion to politely demand a reason why an organization that kills children and spreads perversion to our youth is being honored by the county. Even more importantly, please use this as an opportunity to educate these community leaders about the tremendous evil that Planned Parenthood commits in our communities every day.

Commissioner Jacobs and Mayor Eggelletion may be reached by e-mail or by calling 954-347-7002.

Planned Parenthood constantly clamoring for more money

Despite receiving over $200 million in private donations each year and being backed by wealthy businessmen, celebrities and even presidential candidates, Planned Parenthood is constantly clamoring for more funding from the government. Why? Because this big business needs the nearly $275 million in taxpayers' money to feed its profit margins, administrators' six-figure salaries and its radical agenda.

In fact in a recent funding plea, Kathy Kneer, president of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, complains that “statewide Planned Parenthood is turning away 10,000 patients a month, 120,000 patients a year.” Of course we know that this is good news; that is 120,000 fewer people for Planned Parenthood to lie to and hurt.

Not surprisingly, Planned Parenthood employed one of its favorite lies in an attempt to manipulate the government into forking over tax dollars. According to PP organizers in California, “much of its work is providing primary care.” However, a brief look at Planned Parenthood’s most recent service numbers shows that the dwindling 21,739 primary care customers are dwarfed by its 264,943 abortions.

Sadly this is a common story across the country; Planned Parenthood is a master at manipulating cities, states and even the federal government into granting it millions of tax dollars through lies and empty promises.

Even abortion advocates see through Planned Parenthood’s lies

While the driving force for most people to fight Planned Parenthood is the fact that it is the nation’s largest abortion provider and world’s largest abortion advocate, it is not the only reason people oppose this big business.

In fact, occasionally people who even defend abortion will express their disgust for Planned Parenthood as an organization. In an article written by Helen Gilbert for Socialism.com, she points out the fact that, despite its rhetoric, when given the opportunity to promote its message in the streets, Planned Parenthood instead opted to publicize a fundraising effort. Ms. Gilbert then goes on to point out the disingenuous nature of PP’s claims that it works to “keep abortion rare.”

While we disagree with Ms. Gilbert about a great many things regarding the morality of abortion, even she is outraged by Planned Parenthood’s lies and money grubbing.

As you educate your community about the evils of Planned Parenthood and especially as you garner support to remove its tax funding, remember that as awful as its role in abortion is, there are many reasons to oppose PP. This is why it is so important to make people aware of all of the scandalous actions that Planned Parenthood is involved in. Besides, convincing someone to oppose Planned Parenthood as an organization may be the beginning of an even greater conversion to the fullness of truth.

Planned Parenthood sued for failure to report child abuse

STOPP has just received word that a teen in Cincinnati, Ohio is suing Planned Parenthood for failing to report to the authorities that her father was sexually abusing her.

In a civil suit filed today in Warren County Common Pleas Court, the teen says she disclosed the sexual abuse to a Planned Parenthood employee when her father took her to the agency’s Mount Auburn clinic to abort her pregnancy in November 2004. Despite this, the teen alleges that Planned Parenthood did not file any police report.

The teen later told a high school coach who reported the abuse to authorities and her father was eventually tried and convicted for sexually abusing his daughter.

The lawsuit alleges that Planned Parenthood employees did not tell police that the girl alleged the pregnancy resulted from rape because of a “don’t ask/don’t tell” policy relating to sex abuse.

The full news article can be read online.

Despite mounting evidence that Planned Parenthood routinely protects child predators, law enforcement across the country has been slow to prosecute. Let’s pray that this suit, and others, will provide the documentation needed to close Planned Parenthood down for good.
