Planned Parenthood to be at Florida polls to oppose amendment

According to the source, Planned Parenthood will be at every polling place in Florida.

The Amendment No 1 [on the Florida ballot] is Parental Notication for a minor to have an abortion. This is to protect children from child abuse from older predators preying on minors.

Planned Parenthood is coming out in force to try to defeat this amendment on the ballot.

Some background on Planned Parenthood covering up statutory rape and aiding in child abuse can be found at the Life Dynamics website:

http://www.ldi.org/

From this website, at the bottom of the page is the following sting that LDI did on Planned Parenthood a while back (a couple of years ago):

Caught on Tape -- Planned Parenthood and NAF conceal Child Abuse

Planned Parenthood clinics, National Abortion Federation clinics and others in the abortion clinic business make their money by selling abortions, birth control pills, pregnancy tests and treatments for sexually transmitted diseases. But in order to push sales to minors, NAF & Planned Parenthood abortion clinics have been ignoring child abuse reporting laws and promising to conceal statutory rape and ongoing child sexual molestation.

We have over 800 tape recordings that show how Planned Parenthood and NAF abortion workers secure business from victims of statutory rape by undermining parental authority, encouraging children to lie and promising minors that their employees will ignore mandatory reporting laws. Hundreds of Planned Parenthood clinic and National Abortion Federation clinic employees have been caught on tape expressing their willingness to conceal the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl by a 22-year-old man. Even though many of these Planned Parenthood and NAF employees openly acknowledged that statutory rape is a crime and that they are required by law to report it, they made it clear that they do not abide by the law.

It is clear what the motives of Planned Parenthood are to defeat this amendment -- to help child predators prey on twelve year old, thirteen year old, and older children that are minors.

Planned Parenthood is a strong supporter of John Kerry, and John Kerry welcomes this support.

The Planned Parenthood folks should be at the polls or outside lobbying.

Can anyone update this information.

Can freepers help organize Citizens against child abuse organizations such as Planned Parenthood, and perhaps Planned Parenthood supports John Kerry and the abuse of Little girls

Freepers can come up with better than this.

I will be limited in my ability to respond to this thread.

Note to Admin Moderators -- apology for misleading title last night.

Finally, I would like know if Planned Parenthood is coming out in force and what literature they might be handing out or what they might be doing.

I bet PP has already picked the judge to overturn it.

[topher]

I bet PP has already picked the judge to overturn it. In 1999, Louisiana passed a law to have health inspections at Abortion Clinics. NARAL (and I believe Planned Parenthood) blocked this law until January of 2004.

Apparently, they are against safe abortions and clean abortion facilities.

[gridlock]

Trying to defeat it at the polls is only the first step in the PP strategy. It goes strait from the ballot box to the courts.

I don't see how anybody can be against a parental notification requirement that includes a judicial review. This one should be a no-brainer, no matter where one falls on the issue of Roe v. Wade.

I agree, but look at the damning article by LDI. It shows how Planned Parenthood was more interested in money than anything else...

Note that Planned Parenthood gets taxpayer's dollars to do this, and is STRONGLY supported by the United Way.

Remember, these folks believe in abusing girls the United Way.

[topher]

Go there, get on your cell phones, call 911 and report there is a bunch of child molesters gathering outside the polling place. Tell the cops to take down names and cross check them with lists of public sex offenders.

They should be guilty of such, but I am afraid this would be crying wolf.

I still would like to get confirmation that this is happening at the polls, what Planned Parenthood is trying to do -- distribute literature or whatever.

So, there's no law in FL to keep campaigners some hundreds of feet from polling places?

[G.Mason]

FWIW ... I haven't spoken to one person, Dimocrat or Republican, that does not support this amendment.

[lasisra]

"I bet PP has already picked the judge to overturn it."

They *can't* - that's the point.

The FL legislature has passed several parental notification laws over the years, and the FL Supreme Court has ruled that each of them violated the FL Constitution, saying that these laws conflicted with minors' right to privacy as enumerated in the FL Constitution. (Unlike the U.S. Constitution, the FL Constitution explicitly stipulates a right to privacy.)

After being stymied for all of these years, some members of the FL Legislature sponsored this amendment. If it passes, it will AMEND the FL Constitution to state that parental notification prior to an abortion does NOT conflict with a minor's right to privacy stipulated elsewhere in the FL Constitution. (Take that, FL Supremes!)

This amendment would also specifically permit the Legislature to pass a parental notification law, so long as the law contains a judicial bypass (i.e., allowing a judge to consent to a minor's abortion if the minor can show good reason not to notify the parents). The Legislature would still need to pass a new parental notification law complying with the terms of this constitutional amendment before any parental notification requirement can go into effect.

Thus, if this amendment passes, the FL Supreme Court's hands will be tied, unless they can trump up some other "conflict" with the FL Constitution. The only other way for PP to prevent this would be a U.S. Supreme Court challenge, but I think that there are other states that already have parental notification laws that have passed muster with the U.S. Supreme Court. So, the FL Legislature should have some models to work from in constructing a parental notification law that will withstand the federal courts.

I sure hope that Amendment #1 passes!

"So, there's no law in FL to keep campaigners some hundreds of feet from polling places?"

Yes ... 100 feet from the entrance.

Here is a side issue to PP--and while I don't mean to distract from the main point, anyone who opposes PP ought to be aware that they are empowered by law to keep all their donors secret.

It's a "charitable foundation"--and while they have to designate who they give money to, they don't have to say who gives money to PP.

If ever we could make them say who their supporters are, that'd go a long way in cutting off their support.

When you do donor research on the very interesting site "guidestar.org"--you will see that the info only goes one way. You can find out what Foundation X donates, and to whom, but not who donates to Foundation X.

We need to push for transparency in these quasi-political foundations. After all, one can take a donation to PP off one's taxes. Why shoud PP be allowed to keep their donors anonymous.

[topher]

You seem to have good information on Florida -- can you verify the presence or post to this thread things related?

I want to try to cut United Way contributing to Planned Parenthood -- even though the United Way is a bad organization (attempting to cut off Boy Scout funding, for example).

Maybe those who are nervous about the election, and have idle keyboards can do research on United Way and Planned Parenthood links, etc.

Remember these folks STRONGLY supported Kerry, and Kerry wanted this support.

[chiefqc]

Are they going to show movies of the murder of little babies for money?

PP has no redeeming qualities.

[topher]

So, there's no law in FL to keep campaigners some hundreds of feet from polling places?

The point being, if Planned Parenthood is out in force, Freepers can try to identify them, what they are doing and distributing and make a counter protect.

Some people were handing out flyers for a pro-abortion Democrat on Sunday outside several stores in a shopping center. I was dressed in a very Christian outfit for Halloween. I basically told them I was pro-life and did not want anything to do with a pro-abortion candidate.

I should have lurked and supported my good Republican pro-life Congressman by disrupting the handing out literature, but did not... That was a mistake on my part.

[topher]

...make a counter protect.

Oops! Should have been ...make a counter protest.

The point being is to align these folks with Kerry -- I have seen pictures of Kerry takes picures with Planned Parenthood and Naral for the campaign. These should be exposed.

[topher]

ping for life, ping against evil

[GianniV]

Can we retroactively abort these folks from Planned Parenthood? What scum.

I do not condone killing unless it is self defense and the case of the just war.

However, the LDI information has information that these people were involved in criminal behavior in covering up crimes. They should go to jail, if they engage in criminal activity.

Sometimes jail is a harder place to be than to die outright.

[sixstringer]

Aren't doctors required to report suspected abuse to the police and the court? If they don't do this, they should have their license to practice pulled and purged from records making it impossible for them to practice medicine ever again.
