Ominous news for Pittsburgh (vanity)
email | 7/8/2011 | email

Posted on 07/08/2011 8:17:21 PM PDT by surroundedbyblue

Dear Pittsburgh 40 Days for Life family,

A good friend and true warrior for the unborn just gave me some bad news yesterday. I want to share it with all of my 40 Days for Life family so we can all be praying. There are dark clouds on the horizon here in Pittsburgh. This friend was looking on Google Earth, over Neville Island, and he noticed a large construction project, which has the name "Planned Parenthood". I checked it out for myself. It is true. It looks like Planned Parenthood is building a new facility (a very large one) on Neville Island. It is right on Grand Avenue, between Front River Rd. and Elsie Street...right on the edge of the river. It is near the 279/65 bridge. You can see it for yourself by going to http://www.panoramio.com/photo/3932650. You need to click on the overhead view (on the right), pan to the far left side of the island and zoom in till you see the "Planned Parenthood", right next to the Subway Restaurant. We know that all across the world, Planned Parenthood is moving away from the small clinics of the past, and is building new, large "mega-abortion" facilities. They are usually built rather like fortresses, where there is no access for sidewalk counselors to offer information to women who are entering. They also include the appropriate medical facilities to enable them to do later term abortions, which is big money for them. It is very fitting that Planned Parenthood would choose a site like Neville Island, which is only accessible by a bridge.

I have had a sense of dread since speaking to my friend yesterday. However, this morning while reading my bible, I read in 1 Chronicles 5:20 that the Israelites "Cried to God in the battle, and He granted their entreaty because they trusted in Him". It says He helped them to defeat the enemy because "the war was of God". Now that is encouraging, because we know that the battle against abortion IS a war of GOD! This coming 40 Days for Life campaign (September 28 - November 6) is going to have immense signifigance for Pittsburgh. Now more than ever, we need to be praying, fasting and witnessing. Let's all pray that Planned Parenthood themselves will fall into the trap that they are laying for others in Pittsburgh's Neville Island. Let's pray that those walls will never be built...that not one child will be killed inside that empty space. Pray they will go bankrupt, however you feel the Lord leading you...PRAY! You know, it is no accident that our pro-life community is more united now than a year ago. Through our 40 Days for Life campaigns, we have begun to build a united network and can communicate through emails and gatherings. This is of the Lord's doing...for such a time as this. He has equipped us to fight this battle that is coming to our town. So, have faith in Him and do not be discouraged.

It is also no accident that Bernie Conklin has felt called to lead weekly "Jericho Marches" around the Planned Parenthood on Liberty Avenue for the past few Saturdays. She said she will continue to have these marches every Saturday at 8:00 am all during July and into August. She even has a shofar now! So, if you feel called to participate, come to Planned Parenthood any Saturday morning. Maybe we can begin some Jericho marches around the construction site on Neville Island. I will let you know if that happens.

Here are some dates to mark on your calendar, pertaining to our up-coming fall 40 days for Life campaign: Tuesday, July 19th, 7pm - First planning meeting at St. Paul Cathedral's Synod Hall in Oakland (open to anyone wishing to be involved in the fall campaign) Sunday, August 14th, 7pm - 40 Days for Life Benefit Concert by Intent (www.intentworship.com), held at Word & Worship Church, 1200 Wolfe Avenue, North Braddock. PLEASE COME SUPPORT OUR FALL 40 DAYS AT THIS EVENT!!! Saturday, September 24th, 3pm - Kick-off Event for 40 Days for Life held in Phil's Parking Lot, located at 917 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh

Lastly, if you are interested in sidewalk counseling abortion-bound women and men, I want to make you aware that there will be a national sidewalk counseling seminar held in Minnesota on August 5th and 6th. To get details, go to http://publicactionnow.blogspot.com/2011/06/national-sidewalk-counseling-symposium.html . Meredith Parente is planning to attend this seminar, and would be like to have someone else join her. Please reply to this email if you are interested, and I will put you in touch with her.

That is it for the updates for right now. I will be on vacation with my family all next week, so may not be replying to emails as promptly as usual. If anyone finds out any details about the new Planned Parenthood facility on Neville Island, please share whatever information you discover.

Yes. There’s a large overhead photo of a construction site. Weird. I think in the morning I may do a drive-by. The photos are clear & labeled “Planned Parenthood” yet other FReepers don’t report seeing construction there in recent visits to the area. Very bizarre.

I also searched the Allegheny County Tax assessment website to see who owns the property. No ownership for that area of land is shown. None. Zippo.

If a pro-choice person thinks him/herself better than Adolph Eichmann, that’s nothing but self-deception.

If you go look at the info in the Google PP bubble on Neville Island, it actually referrers you to which is just north of the P-burgh Airport.

Make sure you're not being fed false info. Best wishes for your success in shutting down the eugenicists of PP.

Ok I looked some things up, yinz can check my eyesight:

- 635 Beaver Grade Road is PP center here is link: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-center/centerDetails.asp?f=2827&a=91470&v=details

- This looks like the parcel where the Planned Parenthood is marked. Someone could call Neville Commons to see if PP is renting from them, it looks like a brand new bldg.

http://www2.county.allegheny.pa.us/RealEstate/Map.aspx?ParcelID=0273S00023000000%20%20%20%20&SearchType=3&CurrRow=0&SearchName=&SearchStreet=&SearchNum=&SearchMuni=&SearchParcel=0273s00023

- here is press release for Neville Commons: http://burnsscalo.com/new-site/doc-library/neville-island-flex-building.pdf

There are no new properties purchased by Planned Parenthood in Allegheny County according to the online recorder of deeds.

Follow up to this. The 40 Days people did a little more investigating. The building, upon drive-by, is a two-story office bldg. Newly constructed. No “for sale” or “For lease” signs. They went to the county & it IS owned by PP. Very strange. Here is a cut & paste of the email I received:
“....There is an emply, completed, 2-story office building there, with no signage or for sale/lease sign. They had their son check out the address with the county to find out who owns the property, and it is indeed Planned Parenthood who owns it. Someone checked with the boro manager, and no one has yet applied for an occupancy permit for that building. Please continue praying and fasting however you feel led that no abortion center will be opened there on Neville Island...”

a little ping for you & a prayer request. I fear the PP is planning one of their “supercenters” for Pittsburgh. With this news & the full-on embracing of the gay agenda here in our city, we are in need of serious prayer.

It appears that Planned Parenthood may be planning to build an abortion "supercenter" in Pittsburgh.

It is being built by the same company constructing those “FEMA” camps across the country. ;-)

From Wikipedia:

Government

Main article: Government of Pittsburgh
See also: List of mayors of Pittsburgh

Prior to the Civil War, Pittsburgh was largely in opposition to slavery. This sentiment culminated in Pittsburgh being selected as the birthplace of the national Republican Party, when the party held its first convention in February 1856. From the American Civil War to the 1930s, Pittsburgh was a Republican stronghold. However, national economic turmoil combined with entrenched local GOP scandals by the 1930s brought to an end Republican rule. In 1933, William N. McNair became the first Democrat to be elected mayor. With the exception of the 1973 and 1977 elections (where life-long Democrats ran off the party ticket), Democratic candidates have been elected consecutively to the mayor’s office since the Great Depression. Today, the ratio of Democratic to Republican registrations within the city is 5 to 1.[133]

Dang, I drive by there almost everyday and it is 2.5 miles from my house as the crow flies. This is plain sick. Planned parenthood should not receive any federal funds at all and they should be shut down and investigated under the RICO Act. WE in the West are aborting ourselves out of existence plus we are denying the promise of life to so many.

They are guilty of genocide and to call it anything else is an insult to all of mankind.

935 Beaver Grade Road, Carnot-Moon, PA 15108

which is just north of the P-burgh Airport.

I live and work here in Moon Township, that PP place has been closed and the building demolished. It was part of West Hills Shopping Center, which was also razed. From what I heard, Wal*Mart is building either a store there or a warehouse center, depending who you talk to. That's gonna cause a lot more traffic too, a concern of mine being a delivery driver and resident. As to PP, I don't know where they are going yet, but I'll keep my eyes open.

It is very fitting that Planned Parenthood would choose a site like Neville Island, which is only accessible by a bridge.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

One way in and one way out.

Well!...Gee!...I certainly wouldn’t want anyone to have an accident on that bridge. It could tie up traffic for hours. Or...Wouldn’t even a simple accident like a broken bottle or a dropped box of tacks cause problems with ingress and egress? ( Just wondering)

Well, actually there are three ways to Neville Island by road, a bridge from Coraopolis, two, the I-79 bridge and three, the bridge near the Shenango Plant (my father worked there) that connects the island to Route 51 where you then go through Kennedy Township and then to McKees Rocks and beyond.

I joked to Mom that if I had an M109 Paladin or even an M7 Priest from World War II (interesting names for self propelled howitzers), they be within range from even my house. B-) /sarc> (just kidding folks)

Wanna make that disclaimer as a joke even though I do not have any access to military equipment nor the financial means to acquire any. I'm just a poor, working class Pittsburgh Hunky.

Since I’m a delivery driver (and I live here too) and these are my stomping grounds, I’ll see what I can find out. I also have a camera phone and if I see or hear anything, I’ll let yuns know.

Well, where we at now, 40 or 45 million abortions since 1973? Well, that would be genocide in my books, that equals to at least half the deaths in all of World War II if you take the figure of 78.5 million.

Would be nice if we could make it stick, make them pay reparations at least, that would cause them to go broke at least if not more. They need to be hauled in via the RICO Act and if it was up to me, that would be part of the investigation.
