On Thursday, March 24, the director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida sent an e- mail to advocates for the abortion operation telling them how to "express your appreciation" to Florida Republican senators who split with the GOP leadership by voting against a bill intended to save Terri Schiavo, according to David Bereit, national director of American Life League's STOPP International.

The message listed the names and contact information for the six senators.
In a Wednesday, March 30, phone conversation with David Bereit, the Planned Parenthood executive admitted to sending the e-mail and said, "We just felt that it was pretty courageous of them (the six senators) to do what they did, and it's always a good idea to thank legislators when they do something you like."
When asked by Bereit about the specifics of the measure, the abortion clinic employee admitted, "I really am not sure exactly what the legislation said," but explained that she sent out the e-mail because, "I think probably the majority of our supporters feel that there should not be government intrusion, that the court should be the ones handling this issue, as it has, and so that's why I did it."
"It shouldn't surprise anyone that Planned Parenthood and its supporters think the courts should ultimately decide who lives and who dies in America," Bereit explained. "After all, it was the courts that forced abortion upon America, giving Planned Parenthood the ability to make over $100 million a year by terminating innocent children."
Bereit added, "This is just one more example of why people across America are uniting to oppose Planned Parenthood and its destructive agenda.
"Apparently Planned Parenthood isn't content with killing 244,628 innocent children in the last year through abortion. Now the harmful organization is telling its advocates how to thank elected officials for voting against a measure aimed at saving the life of Terri Schiavo."
If Planned Parenthood wasn't strictly pro-death, it wouldn't care about euthanasia. It has nothing to do with reproductive rights or birth control. Nothing.
At first I thought it said 'Planned Parenthood thanks Anti-Terror voters' and I thought 'Oh that's nice'. Then I read it again and gagged.
What a bunch of sleazes...
You folks who think that the Government had a right to kill Terri Shiavo but are against abortion -- should rethink your position.
You can't have it both ways. Murder is murder is murder.
Is Planned Parenthood planning to cash in on a new coerced euthanasia for profit industry? In their sick, evil minds, the murder of Terri Schindler was new form of abortion.
I am still so shocked to hear political organizations touting the death of a human being as a good thing. To a liberal, an aborted baby is good. An helpless woman dying of slow starvation is good. A dead Marine in a war they hate, also good. You see evil all around you every day, why does it still astonish so much?
The political careers of all who voted to exterminate Terri should be terminated with extreme prejudice.
Planned Parenthood basically saying "yippee! She's dead! Score one for us!"
Makes.....me.....want.....to....puke.
Why does the death of a disabled woman make Planned Parenthood so happy? I'm going to go out on a limb and say--it's one step closer to encouraging parents of disabled babies to abort based on quality of life.
Shameful state of affairs humanity has found itself in.
It's almost like you do not recognize your own contry and your countrymen have become strangers.
That's my thoughts as well,except,it now gives them ammo to abort AFTER they are born with a disability.
I guess it would be rediculous to think that Planned Parenthood, would be on the side of, oh.............say, the PARENTS!
How is the court not part of the government?!
Like they said in NRO today. "Next time it will be easier..."
Scary.
But I thought this issue had nothing to do with abortion. </ sarcasm >
Michael Schiavo, one of the few white men that feminists can love.
They're around. George Felos thanked them personally - and several local members by name - in a press conference the other day.
