Dem Congresswoman's Shocking Abortion Clinic Past
CMR ^ | June 8, 2011

Posted on 06/08/2011 1:26:36 PM PDT by NYer

Rep. Allyson Schwartz of Pennsylvania is one of the fastest rising stars in the Democrat Party, taking on a recently announced leadership role at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Schwartz, a four-term suburban Philadelphia congresswoman, is taking on the position left vacant by Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz who was just tapped to chair the Democratic National Committee.

One fact that has gone unmentioned in all the media reports trumpeting Schwartz's ascendancy is that Allyson Schwartz, besides having a perfect pro-abortion record in Congress, co-founded and acted as Executive Director of an abortion clinic in Philadelphia for 13 years (1975-1988).

The clinic was called the Elizabeth Blackwell Center which is ironic because Blackwell, the first female physician in the U.S., was pro-life.

The clinic was not without its troubles. The Philadelphia Daily News quoted a call from a Republican candidate that detailed an assortment of lawsuits against the clinic:

"18 lawsuits have been filed against Miss Allyson Schwartz's clinic, including assault, battery, negligence, perforated bowels and uteruses," the woman said, "and even abortions performed without consent of her patients.
In 2002, the Blackwell clinic declared bankruptcy due to diminished demand for abortion and stiff competition in the area. In its last year, the center still performed about 1,500 abortions. According to the Daily News, the center derived its largest share of revenue from abortions.

Since Schwartz left the abortion business, she hasn't forgotten her past. NARAL has consistently rated Schwartz a perfect 100 score. EMILY's List, the radically pro-abortion PAC, has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Schwartz, giving her campaign far more than any other organization. According to one site, EMILY's List donated almost $500,000 to Schwartz.

In return, Schwartz voted against the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act, and the Stupak Amendment. Schwartz even sponsored the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) which would have erased all federal, state, or local limitations on abortion up to an including the ninth month of pregnancy.

Schwartz was already heading up candidate recruitment and will now oversee candidate services throughout the country.

Note: I worked for two congressional campaigns against Schwartz.

Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa.), the head of recruiting at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said Weiner’s “offensive” behavior makes him unfit to remain in office.

This explains why she was given such special treatment by Clinton and the DNC.

She ran against Santorum and was always positioned for higher and higher office.

It is nice how our media gets around to this information several years late.

Why would anyone call this shocking? It would be shocking if a female dem was NOT an avid abortion supporter.

Get this... Allyson Schwarz’ bio states that her mother fled their native Austria in 1938 to evade the Nazis. Talk about your ironies. Who’s the Nazi now, Allyson?

Why is the story shocking? Isn’t it expected from a Congresswoman who is a member of the Party of Death?

I’m sorry to say this woman represents my district. She is very well funded, represents a gerrymandered district, and has a lot of D support around here. We’re working on it, but it’s a challenge.

Drives me nuts.

She is pure evil. Soul sick. And the irony regarding her mother's flight from the nazi takeover of Austria is just too heavy for words. What a sick, pathetic woman.

And how can ANYONE who is human be against an act to protect a child interstate notification act of and against an act that would bring to light the pain a growing child (unborn-still growing in the womb) pain awareness act.

Monsters among us.

Yea, it much better to run a clinic where they murder the most innocent for money and therefore that makes it much less “offensive”.

I do believe that the sewers are over crowded and the vermin that live there are coming to the surface.
