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 pilot, who was a former military flier who logged over 2,000 miles...”
2000 hours, not miles, and that was in this aircraft not his total hours!
Thank you. I sometimes think there is very little decency left on FR anymore, at least not on the news threads.
I take from the Article that this trajedy was turned into a blessing...I do not know why the Plane crashed, however it did and those Children are embraced with eternal love from the creator....
I hope the first thing he saw entering the area was the monument to the unborn and it stuck him as to why this might have happened.
The Old Testament God of revenge disappeared when Jesus gave his life as our atonement. You calling these heart-wrenching deaths "justice" is ignorant and makes this unbelievable tragedy even sadder.
No one can deny the irony in this story. No one can deny that God is at work in these circumstances — He’s ALWAYS at work, even though we may not know exactly how.
I cannot and do not find the death of this man and woman’s family members to be “poetic justice,” nor do I rejoice in it. Nor can I read this story, note the amazing elements of it, and yet deny that there is a DEFINITE message being communicated by God.
It behooves us to humble ourselves before God, remember that we are heir to the same tragedies — and to the same nature of pride and arrogance that seem to characterize these people — and to pray simply, “Lord, do not let me boast of my ‘righteousness,’ but of YOUR GLORY. Enable me to stand for your truth and justice, and draw ALL men unto you and out of their sins.”
Beyond that, we do God and His work a disservice...

No there is Scriptural precedent for this, smartguy.
II Samuel 12:7-23
7 Nathan said to David, ‘You are the man! Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul; 8I gave you your master’s house, and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added as much more. 9Why have you despised the word of the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, for you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife. 11Thus says the Lord: I will raise up trouble against you from within your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbour, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this very sun. 12For you did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’ 13David said to Nathan, ‘I have sinned against the Lord.’ Nathan said to David, ‘Now the Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die. 14Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the Lord,* the child that is born to you shall die.’ 15Then Nathan went to his house.
Bathsheba’s Child Dies
The Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it became very ill. 16David therefore pleaded with God for the child; David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground. 17The elders of his house stood beside him, urging him to rise from the ground; but he would not, nor did he eat food with them. 18On the seventh day the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, ‘While the child was still alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to us; how then can we tell him the child is dead? He may do himself some harm.’ 19But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, he perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, ‘Is the child dead?’ They said, ‘He is dead.
’
20 Then David rose from the ground, washed, anointed himself, and changed his clothes. He went into the house of the Lord, and worshipped; he then went to his own house; and when he asked, they set food before him and he ate. 21Then his servants said to him, ‘What is this thing that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while it was alive; but when the child died, you rose and ate food.’ 22He said, ‘While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, “Who knows? The Lord may be gracious to me, and the child may live.” 23But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.’
The person who started this thread is simply giving the rest of the story.
Deuteronomy 5:9 - "I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me..." [repeated in the Scriptures for emphasis?]
Exodus 34:6-7 - "Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; 7 who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."
Amen!!! Great Post.. Thank you for your spiritual wisdom..
The Wisdom that comes from GOD....
Thank you, Deb. I was raised a Roman Catholic, and I totally reject the brand of "Christianity" espoused by people who think the way the author of that piece does. Christ's predominant message was to love one another; to be charitable, kind and merciful. It was the very antithesis of the kind of cruelty demonstrated in the article and by many on this thread (and far too many other threads on FR these days).
I forcefully reject the notion that a God of love and mercy would wipe out so many innocent lives just to make some indirect point to another person.
You mean besides the face residing in the White House?
Great post! I’m glad the sane among us are pushing back against the extremists. It’s about time.
“The Old Testament God of revenge disappeared when Jesus gave his life as our atonement.”
That is not fully correct. Jesus said that He did not come to abolish the law of the prophets but to fulfill it. With Jesus sacrifice on the cross came incredible love, grace and forgiveness which does not cover everybody automatically. One has to receive Him and embrace it to be of any effect. The Law of Sin and Death still works in full in our society today and by that usually do these tragedies come as God is pushed aside to the point where He cannot protect someone from the fruits of evil choices because they have chosen to do so. It is an awful heart breaking tragedy that causes me great sadness but it is also a sober reminder to us that sin does have its awful consequences in both this life and the next.
Really!!!
“I don’t buy that the blood of innocents is atoned for with the blood of innocents. It was his daughters, not he, that died.”
ahhh, but....it’s HIS loss since he remains on this earth to deal with it. Let’s hope AND pray that he repents of his sins prior to his own removal from this earth.
Don't forget that John the Baptist called the Pharisees out on their hypocrisy and warned them that they were headed for disaster. They not only killed him, but they executed the very prophecy that the Baptist warned them about when they crucified Jesus.
Why haven't you then, asked the same question as to why God has allowed abortion to take the lives of over 50 million innocents?
That is because the plan still stands and he will not interfere with what is already written. These events are the cause and effect of Mankind's own alienation from God.
Woe be to any soul who goes before judgment with their blood on their hands. That includes those who apologize for or scold those who condemn their actions.
Well, in that case, moron, why are you worrying about abortion? All aborted babies are with God in heaven, too. In fact, why stop there, since you're twisting Jesus' beautiful "Suffer the little children..." message? Why not just kill all children and get them to heaven as quickly as possible?
Crap, but people like you and the author of that article are no different than any other religious extremist, no matter what religion they practice. Religious extremists of any type are among the most cold, vicious, mean, narrow-minded, hateful scum on the face of the earth.
