Aurora Gives Up Fight Against Planned Parenthood

AURORA, Ill. (AP) -- A Planned Parenthood clinic that has been shuttered while city officials reviewed how it obtained its building permits will be allowed to open, city officials said Monday.

Mayor Thomas Weisner said reviews by three different attorneys found no legal basis to deny the clinic an occupancy permit. It was not clear when the clinic would open, but Weisner said the building department could issue a temporary occupancy permit as early as Monday.

The 22,000-square-foot, $7.5 million building clinic, which was supposed to open last month, has been the target of anti-abortion protesters, who accused Planned Parenthood of deceiving the city into granting building permits.

The chapter that will run the facility, Planned Parenthood/Chicago Area, applied for permits under the subsidiary name Gemini Office Development.

Planned Parenthood officials said they did so to protect the clinic's staff and construction workers from round-the-clock protests, but there was no effort to defraud city officials.

``Over the last few weeks, the city of Aurora has been inundated with thousands of phone calls, letters and requests from people who fell passionately on both sides of the abortion issue,'' Weisner said. ``As elected officials, we however are sworn to uphold the law regardless of our personal, emotional or even religious beliefs.''

Sure.
And it's too bad the city council in good faith can't just say
"We double-checked our zoning codes...you have to move your
slaughter-house to the industrial part of town.
Moving that 22,000 sq. ft. clinic will probably get you an episode
on History Channel's "Mega Movers"."

Now watch them sue for that delay.

So the precedent is set: there is no reason or duty to tell the truth on any building permit or other permit application when dealing with this city.

Perhaps they are but they are also keeping the number of US citizens down while encouraging hispanics, islamists, chinese and anyone else you care to name to enter our country.

Sounds like they're planning on murdering a lot of babies in Aurora, IL.

Abortion is not about saving women’s lives!

Studies Find Abortions Have Long-Term Effects

45,951,133

Total Abortions since 1973

------------------------------------------------------------

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)

The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions — California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)

· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing

· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby

· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child

· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)

· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career

· 7.9% of women want no (more) children

· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health

2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So how many women’s lives have been saved by abortion?

Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be “due to a risk to maternal health.” A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But let’s say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.

Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

It is not a coincidence that they named their facility this:

Gemini
Office
Development

I know that Banned Parenthood is laughing at this decision to allow them to open. They think they are GOD ... Pride comes before a fall.

“Weisner said. ``As elected officials, we however are sworn to uphold the law regardless of our personal, emotional or even religious beliefs.’’

Hmmm, so your religious beliefs come secondary to the law. I guess when the leftists legalize pedophilia and criminalize Christianity then you can follow along like good sheep and help to imprison and persecute true believers. Hitler and all other dictators use the same reasoning to imprison people of faith and conscience.

The dems (along with the RINOs) just passed the homosexual rights act, as part of the defense authorization bill. If your a Christian and your going to say something or boycott something, now is the time because by 2008 you will no longer be relevant or you will be put in prison for speaking out.
