Planned Parenthood Exec Blames 'Hateful Language, Hateful Speech' [but not industrial infanticide]
CNS News ^ | 11/30/15 | Susan Jones

Politicians and others who speak about what taxpayer-supported Planned Parenthood does are contributing to a "negative environment" that encourages some people to target the abortion provider, a Planned Parenthood executive said on Sunday.

"We've experienced so much hateful language, hateful speech," Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountain CEO Vicki Cowart told ABC's "This Week" with Martha Raddatz. "Such a negative environment has been created around the work that Planned Parenthood does, around the idea of safe and legal abortion.

"And we've seen that across the country from all sorts of speakers in the last few months. I can't believe that this isn't contributing to some folks, mentally unwell or not, thinking that it's OK to target Planned Parenthood or to target abortion providers."

Raddatz asked Cowart is she was talking about politicians or members of Congress:

"I think politicians have been in that conversation and, I mean, you know that the airwaves are full of anti-abortion language, of anti-Planned Parenthood accusations, much of which is false in nature.

"And we at Planned Parenthood are, first and foremost, a healthcare provider. We provide life-saving services to all kinds of folks, men and women, across our communities. And the tirades against Planned Parenthood in the last few months have really been over the top."

Cowart spoke two days after an apparently unstable man shot and killed three people and injured nine others at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs.

A law enforcement official told the Associated Press that the suspect, 57-year-old Richard Lewis Dear, said “no more baby parts” after he surrendered to police.

That is a reference to a series of undercover videos released earlier this year showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing prices for body parts havested from aborted babies.

Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains released a statement after Friday's shooting, saying, "We share the concerns of many Americans that extremists are creating a poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country."

Republican Mike Huckabee agreed that what the gunman did "is domestic terrorism."

But Huckabee also told CNN's "State of the Union" that no one in the pro-life movement would condone such an act, just as no one calling themselves pro-life would condone abortion or the harvesting of body parts:

"I don't know of any pro-life leader, any -- if you can tell me one, please correct me, but I don't know of anybody who has suggested violence toward Planned Parenthood personnel or some act of violence toward their clinics. I have not heard that, not from one single pro-life person.

"I have heard universal condemnation, whether it's from the Centers for Medical Progress that put out the videos, whether it's from pro-life advocates. And I consider myself one of them. I know of nobody who has ever suggested that Planned Parenthood be the target of some type of violent attack.

"So, I think that's a little bit disingenuous on the part of Planned Parenthood to blame people who have a strong philosophical disagreement with the dismembering of human babies and with the selling of body parts to say that we would like to retaliate by sending some madman into a clinic to kill people.

"God knows that's not what anybody would want. And this person, apparently, from everything we know, very unstable person, and just a terrible tragedy..."

The suspect, Robert Dear, has his first court appearance on Monday.

He's accused of kiling a police officer and two people who had accompanied friends to the clinic. Dear has been described by acquaintances as a loner who lived "off the grid" in both North Carolina and Colorado.

Police have not officially said anything about his motivation.

I’m sorry, but infanticide kinda pisses me off and calling it pro-choice or reproductive care doesn’t exactly convince me to think differently.

If it’s so upsetting to the baby killers to be described as baby killers, maybe they could, you know, just stop killing babies.

Just sayin’.

THE PLANNED PARENTHOOD MOPlanned Parenthood of the Gulf Coast paid $4.3 million resolve civil allegations under the False Claims Act, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. That settlement resolved a lawsuit filed by Karen Reynolds, a former medical assistant for a Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast clinic in Lufkin, Texas.

In a statement, the Justice Department said: The government alleges that between 2003 and 2009, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast billed and was paid by government programs, Texas Medicaid, Title XX, and the Women’s Health Program, for certain items and services related to birth control counseling, STD testing and contraceptives when such items and services were either not medically necessary, not medically indicated or not actually provided.

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

Planned Parenthood connived to dramatically increase revenues by converting a voluntary C-Mail program to a mandatory program. The Iowa clinics eliminated follow-up exams and mailed each client at least a 12-menstrual-cycle supply of contraceptives in three-month increments. To increase profits, Planned Parenthood began sending three prescriptions to clients every 63 days...a 21-day overage.

By the end of 2008, at least 7,000 Medicaid- eligible women were enrolled in the C-Mail contraceptive program. If they moved or refused the pills they'd come back in a brown mailer then sent to inventory. PP would slap on a new sticker and sell them to the next patient.... without ever crediting the first womans account.

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

TWO MAJOR POINTS:

(1) PP CLIENTS FODDER FOR THE LUCRATIVE BABY PARTS INDUSTRY......we need to determine what percentage of women given birth control who later came back for abortions. PP's game seems to be gulling sexually active women into thinking they're protected. The scheme to withhold examinations forces women back into their clinics for abortions....giving PP baby body parts to sell.

(2) GOVT FRAUD BY MAIL----PP using the US mails to pull off govt fraud needs to be reported.

Yet there is no evidence (other than an alleged comment about “baby parts”) that Dear targeted PP. The director said no employees or patients were injured or killed. But they all run with the narrative.

Never mind one cop was killed and I think five were injured. Not a word about this guy targeting cops.

Remember when the "kind-hearted and compassionate" Clintons (Bill
was then-President) assured us that abortion would be "safe, legal and rare?"

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

Oops. The kindly Clintons plumb "forgot" to mention that they
themselves opened the gates so that Planned Parenthood could traffic
(and profit) in baby body parts.

(EXCERPT--WND.COM). Then-Pres Clinton is credited w/ opening up the market in fetal body parts. Since Clinton signed the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993, “fetal-tissue research” has expanded into a federally subsidized multi-million dollar industry of selling human spare parts salvaged from abortions.

For example, the NIH budgeted $21 million in fiscal year 1999 for grants and awards for fetal tissue research. At the University of Washington, the NIH subsidizes the central laboratory for human embryology.

According to a lab notice obtained by WorldNetDaily, it “can supply tissue from normal or abnormal embryos and fetuses of desired gestational ages between 40 days to term. Specimens are obtained within minutes of passage, and tissues are aseptically identified, staged, and immediately processed according to the requirements of individual investigators.” The notice is signed by Alan G. Fantel of the department of pediatrics.

At the time, two organizations that profited from this growth industry were (the now defunct) Opening Lines, a business formerly located in West Frankfort, Illinois...... and Anatomic Gift Foundation, headquartered in Laurel, Maryland.

Opening Lines gives credit to President Clinton for opening up the lucrative business in fetal tissue trade.

According to Opening Lines, on January 22, 1993, Clinton lifted the moratorium on federal funding. “This action created a great demand for fetal tissue and has made possible the development of treatments for individuals afflicted with serious diseases and disorders,” says the sales brochure.

Both companies served as wholesalers for the marketing of baby body parts to researchers, drug companies, hospitals and universities. These groups harvest the baby parts from abortion clinics and ship them to their customers.

Opening Lines provides fetal tissue researchers with a “fee for service schedule,” which gives prices for each body part. For example, Opening Lines charged:

<><> $150 for a spinal column;

<><> $400 for an intact embryonic cadaver;

<><>$75 for 8-week-old baby's eyeballs (40% discount for a single eye);

<><>$150 for two arms or legs; and,

<><> $100 for the skin of a 12-week-old baby.

We all have to remember that PP is part of the left-wing establishment. They will spend the next year yammering about this case, and even if the evidence does not actually fit their narrative, there are legions in the media who are willing to alter the facts to suit their purposes.

Police have not officially said anything about his motivation.

I'd like to know who the "law enforcement official" who claimed he heard him say "no more baby parts" voted for last election?

The left will affirm this, while denying their hate speech towards Christians had anything to do with Columbine or the recent Oregon shootings of Christians.

“Someone” says they heard him mumble something about “no more body parts”. We, he had no electricity. So, he wasn’t watching FOX or On-line. But that’s the only place the PP Videos were seen. However. Everyone at Ft. Hood heard Hassan yell “Allah Ahkbar” And his martyr manifesto is on-line. This was called “Work Place Violence.”
