Feldkamp Family, Owner of the Nation's Largest Abortion Chain, Dies in Montana Plane Crash

Family of Irving 'Bud' Feldkamp, Owner of the Nation's Largest Privately Owned Abortion Chain, Dies in Montana Plane Crash

MEDIA ADVISORY, Mar. 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- Some of you may have seen the major news story of the private plane that crashed into a Montana cemetery, killing 7 children and 7 adults.

But what the news sources fail to mention is that the Catholic Holy Cross Cemetery owned by Resurrection Cemetery Association in Butte - contains a memorial for local residents to pray the rosary, at the 'Tomb of the Unborn'. This memorial, located a short distance west of the church, was erected as a dedication to all babies who have died because of abortion.

What else is the mainstream news not telling you? The family who died in the crash near the location of the abortion victim's memorial, is the family of Irving 'Bud' Feldkamp, owner of the largest for-profit abortion chain in the nation.

Family Planning Associates was purchased four years ago by Irving Moore "Bud" Feldkamp III, owner of Allcare and Hospitality Dental Associates and CEO of Glen Helen Raceway Park in San Bernardino. The 17 California Family Planning clinics perform more abortions in the state than any other abortion provider - Planned Parenthood included - and they perform abortions through the first five months of pregnancy.

Although Feldkamp is not an abortionist, he reaps profits of blood money from the tens of thousands of babies that are killed through abortions performed every year at the clinics he owns. His business in the abortion industry was what enabled him to afford the private plane that was carrying his family to their week- long vacation at The Yellowstone Club, a millionaires- only ski resort.

The plane went down on Sunday, killing two of Feldkamp's daughters, two sons-in-law and five grandchildren along with the pilot and four family friends. The plane, a single-engine turboprop flown by Bud Summerfield of Highland, crashed into the Catholic cemetery and burst into flames, only 500 ft. from its landing destination. All aboard were killed.

The cause of the crash is a mystery. The pilot, who was a former military flier who logged over 2,000 miles, gave no indication to air traffic controllers that the aircraft was experiencing difficulty when he asked to divert to an airport in Butte. Witnesses report that the plane suddenly nosedived toward the ground with no apparent signs of a struggle. There was neither a cockpit voice recorder nor a flight data recorder onboard, and no radar clues into the planes final moments because the Butte airport is not equipped with a radar facility. Some speculate that the crash was due to ice on the wings, but this particular plane model has been tested for icy weather and experts have stated that ice being the cause is unlikely.

In my time working for Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, I helped organize and conduct a weekly campaign where youth activists stood outside of Feldkamp's mini-mansion in Redlands holding fetal development signs and raising community awareness regarding Feldkamp's dealings in child murder for profit. Every Thursday afternoon we called upon Bud and his wife Pam to repent, seek God's blessing and separate themselves from the practice of child killing.

We warned him, for his children's sake, to wash his hands of the innocent blood he assisted in spilling because, as Scripture warns, if "you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you". (Ezekiel 35:6)

A news source states that Bud Feldkamp visited the site of the crash with his wife and their two surviving children on Monday. As they stood near the twisted and charred debris talking with investigators, light snow fell on the tarps that covered the remains of their children.

I don't want to turn this tragic event into some creepy spiritual 'I told you so' moment, but I think of the time spent outside of Feldkamp's - Pam Feldkamp laughing at the fetal development signs, Bud Feldkamp trying not to make eye contact as he got into his car with a small child in tow - and I think of the haunting words, 'Think of your children.' I wonder if those words were haunting Feldkamp as well as he stood in the snow among the remains of loved ones, just feet from the 'Tomb of the Unborn'?

I only hope and pray that in the face of this tragedy, Feldkamp recognizes his need for repentance and reformation. I pray that God will use this unfortunate catastrophe to soften the hearts of Bud and Pam and that they will draw close to the Lord and wash their hands of the blood of thousands of innocent children, each as precious and irreplaceable as their own.

"I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then." (Deut. 30:19)

The irony in this is as hilarious as it is horrific. Two of his children and 5 grandchildren died - while he still lives. Now he knows the pain of losing children, and perhaps now the value of life.
And crashing in a cemetery - Catholic at that! - is poetic.

But the children had no blame in the grand father’s misdeeds.

Interesting, but that bit about icing is totally wrong. There’s no such thing as an aircraft that is immune to icing, and it’s actually the focus of the investigation right now.

Also, I’d like to have confirmation of this family connection from another source.

Is God killing innocent children to make a point, the real God?

Jesus said God treats the good and the wicked the same.

There are some people who rationalize and explain away Han Solo's statement -- so it not definitively a "goof". But the general interpretation is that the Kessel Run (which is never characterized) is probably a journey from point A to point B. A skillful (fast) pilot might be expected to make the trip in an especially short period of time. Solo uses a unit of distance (parsec) to boast of his prowess in getting from point A to point B.

The general feeling is that "parsec" sounded like a unit of time, so George Lucas used it to show that Han Solo's ship was very fast.

OK...looks like Fox 40 in Sacramento is not only saying that Bud Feldkamp leased he plane, they’ve talked to him.

Honestly, I think that Lucas wanted to use the term hoping that people would sound like a more "futuristic" way of measuring time. At least that's the way I interpreted it...

Since we are dealing with science FICTION, it is wholly possible that the term was intended to be a depiction of "futuristic" time where the meaning of the word 'parsec' had been changed to equate to time, not distance. The word "seconds" doesn't sound very "futuristicky" :-)

Just my 5 cents...

“Sometimes, the Lord doesn’t wish to be subtle.”

So the 7 children have to pay for this guy’s sins?

Well, you reap what you sow. Unfortunate that the entire family had to go in with him.

Also, the Press-Enterprise in Riverside county confirms Feldkamp’s name and the crash site visit.

Take it up with Him, not me. Personally, I don’t believe the sins of the father should be paid for by his children.

Don’t blame the pilot. the plane is only overloaded if its weight exceeds that it was rated for, and that wasn’t the case because the extra passengers were so small.

I think FReepers call this Sheudenfraude(sp)?

He lost that which was precious to him, and he will have to live with it. Prayers for the innocents both on that plane and at his hand.

Maybe this will be his come to Jesus moment? To see how it hurts so bad to lose a child that you don’t want to. No different from a man who wants his child but the woman says my body may choice, or a woman who is forced to have an abortion by an abusive male or a teen who is forced by a well meaning but sick parent, or worse, a victim of incest.

And not to forget, there is always at least one person who doesnt ever want an abortion.....the baby.
