Planned Parenthood is at it again -- lying about its construction plans. Catholic News Agency reports the Catholic bishops of Colorado (Denver, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs) are calling out the abortion industry giant's tactics:
The bishops write, “In early November, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) broke ground on a new headquarters and clinic in northeast Denver.” They “purchased this property secretly under the guise of Fuller 38 LLC.”
“Planned Parenthood told the Denver Post that PPRM planned to complete the entire project in secrecy to avoid protests and delays that other Planned Parenthood buildings have encountered around the country.”
The project, which is to be completed in the summer of 2008, is located at 7155 E. 38th Ave. in Denver. The general contractor for the project is the Weitz Company LLC.
Planned Parenthood is among the leading providers of abortion in the United States. In 2005, they performed 264,943 abortions, a 29% increase since 2000. “Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains has stated that it served 125,000 patients in five states, including Colorado, last year and of those 8,800 received abortions.”
“Teens and young people are the primary customers for their services and information, which include the distribution of contraception, emergency contraception and chemical and surgical abortions. Nationally 70 % of Planned Parenthoods customers are under age 25 and 27% are under age 19. Furthermore, Planned Parenthood is a supplier of graphic and educational materials.”
“Planned Parenthood calls itself pro-child, pro-woman, and pro-family. Yet it is an organization based on falsehoods about the human person, the family and community life.”
“When a minor comes to Planned Parenthood, she is provided information on contraception, sex education and treatment of STDs without parental notification. How can Planned Parenthood justify calling itself pro-family or pro-child when it intrudes itself between a child and parent?”
“Planned Parenthood vigorously opposes any legislation that would provide advance[d] medical information pertaining to an abortion procedure, and opposes any legislation that would provide a woman, who is seeking an abortion, knowledge of her unborn child’s development or information regarding alternatives to abortion. Considering the psychological and physical effects of abortion on a woman, how can Planned Parenthood call itself pro-woman and oppose widespread access to advanced information?”

Well, you know, they have
November 11, 2007 - 08:27 ET by motherbeltWell, you know, they have to do it in secret, because of those "right-wing extremists" foaming at the mouth, who don't care about 12-year-olds who get impregnated by their stepfathers and are afraid to tell their mothers because they will get beaten....that's what PP is all about....
<sarc off>
Planned Parenthood actually is pro-woman. But it's only "pro-" women who want to abort their fetuses (remember, it's not a baby unless the mother wants it) for any reason, at any time in the pregnancy. Women who want alternatives to abortion can take a hike.
"Planned Parenthood."
November 11, 2007 - 08:34 ET by sublight68"Planned Parenthood." Another example of the left naming something completely the opposite of what it is in order to mask its true purpose.
Kinda like the People's
November 11, 2007 - 09:07 ET by dmntd1Kinda like the People's Democratic Republic of (N Korea, VietNam, China).....
I really think that questioning others' masculinity is a game probably better left to people who haven't had more cock in and out of them than a Tyson Chicken regional distribution center. AceOfSpades 06162007

I went to the PP website.
November 11, 2007 - 10:25 ET by rimskyI went to the PP website. Wow.. they have no inhibitions there, do they. They have these podcasts that leave NOTHING unexplored. Seems like they've long ago discarded the Planned Parenthood part of their organization in favor of a much more promiscuous agenda. I think it's also interesting that that do not include HPV on their list of STD's.
They pulled the same tactic
November 11, 2007 - 10:28 ET by MudhenThey pulled the same tactic in Aurora, IL in the last couple months. When the building was done it was claimed it was too late to stop it.
I think instead of just screaming about abortion we need to do a better job of explaining Planed Parenthood roots in the eugenics movement, its connection Nazi Germany and their keeping those ideals alive.
If they're so keen on "wantedness"
November 11, 2007 - 11:36 ET by GrannyGrump42Funny, but when a baby is "unwanted" PP does everybody a public service by killing it. But they're willing to impose their unwanted selves on communities across America.

November 11, 2007 - 18:19 ET by johnbarryPlanned Parenthood is an agent of Satan. Those who carried out the 264,943 abortions in 2005 will face Gods judgement. Profits earned are blood money.Planned Parenhood has declared war on the unborn child.
A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for abortion. Remember Hillary: The 5th Commandment states “Thou shalt not kill” no ifs no buts. It does not state, “thou shalt abort the innocent child in the womb in the interests of women’s rights.” Planned Parenthood would be further emboldened by a Clinton victory.It behoves all Christians-whether Republicans, Democrats or Independents- to vote against Clinton. This apologist for abortion does not deserve to become President.
“In the past three decades of the Abortion War, nearly 40 million children have been brutally murdered in the womb in the United States alone. This has been possible, largely, because of the effectiveness of an insidious propaganda campaign that has succeeded in convincing millions of Americans that the defenceless, unborn child is not a baby, a human, a tiny person, a gift from God, but merely a depersonalised blob of 'tissue', to be disposed of if it interferes with one’s life plans or career trajectory.” — William F. Jasper, The Survivors
The headline should read,
November 12, 2007 - 06:43 ET by jdhawkThe headline should read, "Another PPH Denver Death Camp" and then go on to regale them with their increased future "production" figures. Mau and Stalin, the greatest mass murders in recorded human history, would be proud.
Yeah, that'll happen . . .

November 12, 2007 - 12:17 ET by taznarLegally, these laws would be redundant (in my non-lawyer opinion). Something called informed consent is required before a doctor can perform any non-emergency procedure. If information is withheld from a patient simply because the doctor thinks the patient may not like it, or it may change the patient's mind, they should be sued. The doctor, in not giveing the patient the information needed to make a decision, is making the decision for the patient and treating the patient as if she is incapable of making an informed, rational decision.
Just my opinion.
