You Can Trust Planned Parenthood
Townhall.com ^ | July 20, 2015 | Katie Kieffer

Posted on 07/20/2015 7:56:48 AM PDT by Kaslin

I have a list of reasons why you can trust Planned Parenthood.

By now, you’ve probably seen the viral video starring Planned Parenthood executive Dr. Deborah Nucatola. In the undercover clip, made by the Center for Medical Progress, Dr. Nucatola gushes about performing abortions in such a way so as to carefully and fatally “crush” fetuses while preserving specific body parts like “fetal livers” which are popular on Planned Parenthood’s secretive “menu” of harvesting options.

In my opinion, as a Millennial woman, Planned Parenthood is very forthright. Here are four examples of Planned Parenthood’s reliable claims:

1. Millennial women love our services

Dr. Nucatola claims that Planned Parenthood’s fetal part harvesting “service” was “asked for” by their abortion “patients.” If so, why hasn’t Planned Parenthood gone public with this program? After all, transparency would allow more women to learn about the valuable service Planned Parenthood purports to offer.

Here are the facts: only 27 percent of Millennials call themselves “pro-choice only” and the majority (51%) of Millennials say that abortion services should not be covered by health insurance, according to a 2015 study by Public Religion Research Institute.

2. Video was edited to make Planned Parenthood look like a profiteer

Actually, the full-length video is more embarrassing to Planned Parenthood than the 9-minute version. Very few people have the time or motivation to watch a 2-hour-and-43-minute-long video, which is why it was edited—not to make Planned Parenthood look like a profiteer.

Only the full-length version of the video shows Dr. Nucatola admitting that the goal of Planned Parenthood’s 67 affiliates who perform harvesting is to: “do a little better than break even, and do so in a way that seems reasonable.”

Dr. Nucatola emphasizes that their main concern is not the safety of the mothers undergoing the abortion procedure or the ethics of selling their dead children’s livers, but “it’s really just about if anyone were ever to ask them [the 67 affiliates], well, what do you do for this $60, how can you justify that?”

So, Planned Parenthood’s stated and accomplished goal is to do better than break even through harvesting baby parts. For them to say they neither have nor want to profit is like an entrepreneur refusing to admit that he is profiting until he is a billionaire.

Even if Planned Parenthood were LOSING money, they are still STEALING my money because I do not want ANY of my federal tax dollars going toward the organization that performs over a fourth of all abortions in America.

3. “We follow all laws and ethical guidelines”

Richards defended their organ-harvesting program, saying they: “follow all laws and ethical guidelines.”

See above. They are profiting. And it’s in their best interest to keep profits artificially low so that they do not raise red flags.

Even if it were legal, legalizing a practice does not make it ethical: at one point it was “legal” to enslave Americans and to bar women from voting.

Abortion is technically legal in the United States, but it violates natural law. Reason tells us that every human being has a natural right to their own private property—the first of which is their own body. As soon as a baby or fetus has a body, they have a natural right to their body, even if it is growing inside of another body.

We all have a duty to help young women enduring the pain and challenge of rape or an unwanted pregnancy, and I’ve offered many ways in which we can do this in a manner that respects both the mother and the baby in previous columns as well as in Let Me Be Clear.

4. Our opponents want to “cut women off” from “other health centers”

Yes, Richards actually made that assertion. Without batting an eye she told Americans that anyone who disagrees with their shady baby-part harvesting program wants to cut women off from care at pregnancy crisis centers. This is her biggest lie of all. Pro-life organizations do not receive federal funding like Planned Parenthood; they survive through private philanthropy, which shows that their opponents actually work harder to care for women.

OK, so Planned Parenthood is not that transparent. Millennial women like me—as well as your young friends, daughters and granddaughters—would be wise to look elsewhere for caring, trustworthy and reliable healthcare.

There’s something distrustful about people who murder babies and sell their mutilated parts, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. But I’ll just go with my instinct and hope they fail and meet their Maker.

Why is Hillary silent WRT Planned Parenthood video showing that abortions that crushes babies skulls are favored in order to harvest
intact baby body parts for profit?

Must be the "keep-it-quiet foundation donations and honoraria."

Did women's rightist Bill negotiate a cut of the booming baby parts/condom/curettage businesses for the "compassionate"
do-good Clinton Foundation?

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

And this.

Planned Parenthood considers it their HIGHEST HONOR:
"The Margaret Sanger Award"---given to Hillary.

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

The announcement of Hillary's Planned Parenthood award was posted to the tax-paid US Secretary of State website: “Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) will present its highest honor, the PPFA Margaret Sanger Award, to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the PPFA awards gala in Houston, Texas on Friday, March 27, 2009.

Secy Clinton will receive this award for her unwavering support of women’s health and rights throughout her public service career.

Actor America Ferrera will co-host the event with PPFA President Cecile Richards. The awards gala will take place at the George R. Brown Convention Center on 1001 Avenida de las Americas in Houston.”

President Obama has made clear that any critics of the pro-abortion health group are enemies of women, saying such critics want to "turn back the clock to policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century. And they've been involved in an orchestrated and historic effort to roll back basic rights when it comes to women's health."

OBAMA BLESSES PLANNED PARENTHOOD (dismembering savagery ok'ed using Obama's reasoning)

Obama recently stated that the Abortion industry in America is blessed by God... “As long as we’ve got to fight to make sure women have access to quality, affordable health care, and as long as we’ve got to fight to protect a woman’s right to make her own choices about her own health, I want you to know that you’ve also got a president who’s going to be right there with you, fighting every step of the way,” said Obama. “Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you.”

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

2004 BACKSTORY In February 2004, then-US Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law stopping doctors from performing p/b abortions (stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls).

Michelle Obama considers partial-birth abortion "a legitimate medical procedure," and asked supporters for $150 to attend a luncheon for her candidate husband, b/c he would fight against "cynical ploys" to stop p/b sbortions.

(NOTE: nurses at an Illinois hospital in 1999 discovered babies were being aborted alive and placed on shelves in soiled utility rooms to die unattended.)

BACKGROUND Legislation was presented on the federal level and in various states called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. It stated all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted.

BAIPA sailed through the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote. Even Sens. Clinton, Kennedy and Kerry agreed a mother's right to "choose" stopped at her baby's delivery. The bill also passed overwhelmingly in the US House.

NARAL went neutral on it. Abortion enthusiasts publicly agreed that fighting BAIPA would appear extreme. President Bush signed BAIPA into law in 2002.

But in Obama's Illinois, the state version of BAIPA repeatedly failed, thanks in large part to then-state Sen. Barack Obama. It only passed in 2005, after Obama left. Obama articulately asserted that legislation protecting live aborted babies might infringe on women's rights or abortionists' rights (The very same judicial reasoning used to approve dismemberment of aborted babies).

In 2003, as chairman of the next state Senate committee to which BAIPA was sent, Obama stopped it from even getting a hearing, shelving it to die much like babies were still being shelved to die in Illinois hospitals and abortion chambers.

(NOTE As chair of that same committee, state Sen Obama once abruptly ended a hearing early, right before the parents of six children killed as a result of Illinois' drivers licenses-for-bribes scandal, were to testify in favor of Choose Life

A “health center” does not choose to butcher babies purely on convenience and useful products of the butchering.

A “health center” might reasonably be thought to provide women’s health services that include mammogram screening. Planned Parenthood owns NONE.

A “health center” would not fight to keep state health statutes regarding medical installations out of their requirements.

Truth be told, they’d much prefer the official designation and requirements of an abattoir license to what they do. But they have a problem with being called butchers.

American Thinker's Daniel John Sobieski observed: "If Kermit Gosnell and Margaret Sanger had a love child, it might be Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood’s Senior Director of Medical Services, calmly brokering the sale of baby body parts as if she were negotiating the price of lawn furniture at a garage sale.

At the same time Dr Deborah was bragging about her medical expertise in not crushing baby organs, enumerating the ones that could be sold at a profit to Stem Express....she was sipping wine and eating forks full of salad.

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

OPEN THE BOOKS NOW---(1) Stem Express a company in collusion w/ tax-funded Planned Parenthood clinics to facilitate illegal sales of baby body parts and fetal tissue, and, (2) all tax-funded Planned Parenthood clinics engaged in the illegal selling of baby body parts.

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

The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilized----to follow the paper trail and determine how monies changed hands; to determine the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting.

<><> L/E needs to examine Stem Express and tax-funded Planned Parenthood's bank accounts.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover his tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders' personal use and/or for profit redistribution schemes from the illegal sales of baby body parts.

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

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.

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

<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of Stem Express and Planned Parenthood's checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) Stem Express and Planned Parenthood's family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures;

Tax fraud may also be a factor, facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets.

FBI TIPS PAGE--YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS ---https://tips.fbi.gov

SUBJECT: Collusion, conspiracy, bribery
IN RE: financial irregularities
REFERENCE: govt fraud, falsified documents, wire transfers, accounting fraud, etc.

NARRATIVE Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of multiple conspiracies to collude in sub rosa deals to personally profit and/or to facilitate illegal sales of baby body parts.

OF INTEREST TO LAW ENFORCEMENT The FBI should interrogate individuals at Stem Express and Planned Parenthood for evidence of multiple schemes to falsify official documents to further fraudulent schemes, and the filing of official documents that were falsified. The FBI should investigate any and all official documents submitted for falsified entries.

Crimes might include--govt fraud, conspiracy, collusion, falsifying official documents (a felony), money laundering, tax evasion, extortion, theft, misuse of public facilities.

Examine tax returns of Stem Express and Planned Parenthood... particularly entries for "interest income."

She has no soul, no conscience no principles, she operates at the animal level: What I want is right, I will do anything I need to get it. If I don’t get it then, that is wrong. It is wrong to oppose me. Unfortunately for them, individuals such as her are the ones the majority of people that votes said, via their votes, they wish to have the rule over them. She is only one of Obama’s goons that got caught. There are many, many just like her in the Obama regime. Should Hillary come to power, the same thing applies.

There are many, many just like her in the Obama regime.

On that note, remember the first Scandal of many, Fast and Furious. Many people died. This is still largely overlooked. That Obama's policies lead to death and destruction.

You just described the thinking process of a Satanist.

1st rule of Satanism - Do what thou wilt (do whatever the hell you want to whoever you want regardless of the harm of consequences) because Man is an animal just like all others on this planet and it is instinctual.
