Freeper Gets Bill From Planned Parenthood for $77,000!!!
This came in the U.S. Mail | November 27, 2002 | Saundra Duffy

Posted on 11/27/2002 2:04:01 PM PST by Saundra Duffy

How would you like to go to your mail box and receive a legal document that says you owe Planned Parenthood $77,000? As some of you may recall, three of us plaintiffs sued Planned Parenthood with the hope we could force them to tell the truth about the link between abortion and breast cancer. Go to www.AbortionBreastCancer.com for more info about the ABC Link. The press release announcing the lawsuit is below. Legal expertise for our case was provided by Thomas More Law Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The first round was lost by us and the Judge ordered us three poor women to pay PP legal fees, hence this disgusting "bill" from Planned Parenthood. Good news is that our attorneys are appealing. That's where we are now. Here's the news release about the lawsuit:

Women's Group Lauds Abortion-Breast Cancer Suit Against Planned Parenthood August 17, 2001

The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer announced that a lawsuit was filed yesterday in a San Diego court by three California women against Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliate, Planned Parenthood of San Diego and Riverside Counties. The suit accuses Planned Parenthood of having mislead women about the safety of abortion. Research published over nearly a half of a century has linked the procedure with increased breast cancer risk. The incidence of breast cancer among American women has climbed 40% in the last quarter of a century since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. The incidence of all other cancers has declined in the U.S. over the same period.

The plaintiffs, Agnes Bernardo of Chula Vista, Pamela Colip of Loma Linda, and Sandra Duffy-Hawkins of Sacramento, are not demanding monetary damages, but they are demanding Planned Parenthood to provide women with accurate information about the overwhelming evidence that abortion raises breast cancer risk. The plaintiffs are represented by the Thomas More Law Center located in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

A 1996 review and meta-analysis of the studies found that induced abortion raises a woman’s breast cancer risk by 30%. The leading author of that paper written in collaboration with scientists from Penn State College of Medicine, Professor Joel Brind of Baruch College of the City University of New York, has written extensively about an ongoing effort by scientists to cover-up the research. [Brind et al. (1996) J Epidemiol Community Health 50:481-96]

In the only study specifically commissioned by the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Janet Daling and her colleagues at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center reported that “Among women who had been pregnant at least once, the risk of breast cancer in those who had experienced an induced abortion was 50% higher than among other women.” [Daling et al. (1994) J Natl Cancer Inst 86:1584-92]

The only statistically significant prospective study (one based on medical records, not interviews and which, therefore, rules out any possibility of recall bias) was conducted in New York and found a 90% increased risk. [Howe et al. (1989) Int J Epidemiol 18:300-4]

The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer provides a wealth of information about the research, public policy and women’s legal rights at www.abortionbreastcancer.com.

Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, reported that “Twenty-eight out of 37 studies published since 1957 have associated this elective surgical procedure with breast cancer. We applaud the efforts of the Thomas More Law Center to assist women. Women have a right to make fully informed decisions concerning their own health. If a women are denied crucial information about the risks of a procedure, can it really be said that a choice ever belonged to them? Accurate information about the research has been censored by Planned Parenthood and its supporters since abortion was legalized in the U.S. nearly three decades ago. It was censored by the same people who ardently professed that they cared about women’s health. Planned Parenthood’s greed will cost women their lives and devastate families. This is a travesty of justice.”

The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer is an international women’s organization founded to protect the health and save the lives of women by educating and providing information on abortion as a risk factor for breast cancer.

Many people have taken this battle with Planned Parenthood to another venue. However, I cannot advocate violence. Our prayers are with you.

I see. He just said you were full of crap? I'm sure he backs this up with his own extensive medical knowledge. After all, "extensive knowledge" is simply that which "everyone knows to be true." I must say, if he had even had a good reason for saying they need not include such information I might have been prepared to accept it and just suggest that your arguments be better prepared on appeal; however, if the all he did was determine that "of course there's no link between abortion and breast cancer, don't you tink there would be studies saying so?" when, in fact, you presented such studies to him, I'd say it's a great illustration of judicial bias. Good luck on your crusade.

One judge decided. San Diego Union Tribune received an award from Planned Parenthood for promoting abortion. The media in San Diego had a field day with us. It's just so sad . . . but what else is new? It's amazing. Just amazing. We'll see what happens. Meanwhile, let's keep praying. For victory & freedom!!!

I feel so sad for all the women who are being aborted in ignorance of this link. Not only are they participating in the killing of their own child but when they are older, they very well may develop breast cancer which will end up destroying their own bodies. Well, it's THEIR BODY! Funny how California is supposed to be a "consumer friendly" state except when it comes to this issue. Go figure. I thought we had a winner. Woman's right to know. But in California, if it's about abortion, it's a woman's right to die and kill.

I always did think that suicide was the perogative of the victim. I'm not sure that they shouldn't be candidates for the Darwin award. At least those who have successfully limited their impact on the gene pool.

It would be nice to send it back and say its payed with the blood and terror of all the children they have murdered and womans lives they have destroyed and that it wasnt pated in full but just an installment....

A millstone around their necks and thrown to the depths of the sea would be the best method of payment for killing a child period....

"The victim... was undergoing a medical procedure at the Women's Center when she died." Poor lady. What an absolutely horrible way to die. This is the whole point of the lawsuit. To save women from abortion fatalities. Perhaps if this woman had been told that abortion causes breast cancer, she'd have said "no way!" She and her baby would be alive today. This is so very sad and tragic. And all the little ones thrown in the trash. Dear God, have mercy on us all.

Planned Parenthood could use this money to pay for 770 high school students to recruit their friends to have abortions:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/794304/posts

"Planned Parenthood has concocted one of its most shameless schemes ever for using our tax dollars to corrupt our children. Planned Parenthood of North Central Ohio has proposed that two teens from each of the four high schools in Morrow County, Ohio be paid $100 to be trained as outreach workers and that the teens receive an additional $5 for every patient they recruit who shows up at a new Planned Parenthood clinic which opened on April 2, 2002 in Cardington, Ohio."

Just property to be bought and sold and exploited and abused. That's what the abortion industry thinks of women!

I dunno - maybe because you live in a world which you have divided up into a set of rigid ideologies with fanatic devotion, and are easily misled by incompetent activist.

Kind of like the people who started the Revolutionary War? Sorry for you that we are no longer part of the Empire.

I didn't want this to happen. You guys are so sweet! Hang tight. If Thomas More Law Center tells me about a fund they've established, I'll let you know. For now, though, just relax. Maybe we'll win on appeal and the money thing will become a moot point. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your concern. It has touched my heart. For victory & freedom!!!

Can't say "congrat's" about the lawsuit....

But thank you for initiating the requirement that the abortion mills warn their customers that there may be two people killed with each abortion.

Prayers.
