Media Give Planned Parenthood Pass for Lying to City Re Abortion Clinic


Hiding behind a fake company name, Planned Parenthood came into Aurora, Illinois, a suburban Chicago neighborhood, and built an abortion clinic without telling the city of Aurora that it was to be an abortion clinic. Yet, all the news about this story is centering on the pro-abortion/pro-life debate instead of Planned Parenthood's lies. This story has been going on for a few days in Aurora, Illinois. It seems Planned Parenthood told a teeny, tiny white lie to the City Planning Board of Aurora about what use a new building they were constructing near a residential neighborhood would be put to. In fact, they even misled city officials as to who they even were, and those officials are none too happy about it.

The city granted a building permit to a company called Gemini Office Development LLC to build what was being called a “medical office building.” It turns out, however, that Gemini Office Development LLC is actually a shell company for Planned Parenthood and this new building was not going to be just a regular, non-descript “medical office building” but a Planned Parenthood abortion mill, instead. Curiously, Planned Parenthood neglected to tell the city of its plans until the building was complete and they were ready to open for business.

Naturally, the community is a tad upset that they were lied to.

On a radio interview this morning, an Aurora city councilman was upset that the abortion advocates would build an abortion clinic near a residential community when such clinics often bring dangerous conditions with them. After all, says the councilman, when they build these facilities they use bullet proof glass and try to make them bomb proof, so obviously they know that their facilities have the potential to bring danger to the community.

Aurora officials raced to get an injunction to stop the clinic from being opened while they investigate the fraud by which the clinic was contracted, built, licensed and zoned.

Naturally, this is shaping up to be an epic battle between the Pro-Life Action League and Planned Parenthood and most coverage (like the Chicago Tribune) is focused on that aspect of the story.

But, as I point out, it seems to me a major aspect of this story is the fact that Planned Parenthood LIED to everyone in a neighborhood of which they wish to become a part.

Questions remain: if an abortion clinic is so “needed” and wanted, why did they have to LIE to open one? Why the hiding behind a dummy company to get the city planning board to allow it to be built?

Worse, why is Planned Parenthood building a facility that they know will disrupt the community and might cause danger to the same people they claim to want to serve? And why chose a suburban location in a residential area when they know that their presence will disrupt the community? And why isn't the media focusing on these lies told by Planned Parenthood to get their agenda past the city planning boards?

Of course, we know the answer to that. They instinctively know that they aren’t wanted in the community and they have to appear by stealth to get their agenda through.

Do lies make for good neighbors? Planned Parenthood doesn’t seem to care if they do or not. The community doesn’t matter a whit to them. Only their agenda does.

well said Mattm, sadly another 2500+ again today...

Actually a common practice among undesireable businesses

There is a chain of adult video stores in the Atlanta area that used the same tactic. They would get the permits to build/lease a building under the pretense they were opening one kind of business and then they would turn around and open an adult video store instead.

Kind of hard for me to want to take my kid to the theater near our house that has one of these adult chains because I don't want my son to read the signs that says, "Buy two adult videos and get a dildo for free!"

... well, we once voted for

... well, we once voted for a president and got a dildo for free. Looks like we are gonna get that chance again soon curiously enough!!!

fem-blog feministing has a post up about this

More anti-choice protests in Aurora http://feministing.c...

However, no mention in the post about Planned Parenthood using a dummy corporation and lying to the Aurora City Board.

If Walmart did the same thing, do you think they would get the same treatment in the media and from the feminists?

The inheriently untruthful

The inheriently untruthful ways that Planned Parenthood goes about its business should shock all of us, but the real issues get sidetracked with the silliness of the abortion debates. Silly simply because no matter what you do or vote for this is a matter that resides in the judiciary. I have learned that abortion politics is simply a wedge issue to divide us while the courts keep the power we argue of the issues, but ultimately it takes the Supreme court to return this issue to the people.

Truth monger....you are correct

Abortion is an Enforcement issue....take the case in Baltimore where a man shot/killed a Pregnant woman.....he was charged with 2 murders. 

That struck me as a contradiction to Abortion.....If the Kid was murdered in the womb, the kid was a person....the method of delivery for the death, was independent of the enforcement that a death of person number had occured.

I've got a post below where abortion fits the definition of murder - but then it doesn't! You can't justify abortion under traditional law unless you completely de-humanize the baby into a non-human - it's like removing a boil instead. That's how it's done...

We must return to the law, broken 40 million times now without justice since Roe V. Wade

my thoughts exactly!  There have been a couple of instances lately where a pregnant woman and her unborn child were killed and the murderer was charged with 2!!! murders.  Can't figure out how it can be seen both ways...this is pretty cut and dried!

Can't figure out how it can be seen both ways...

Mightymouth - Evil Communist doesn't understand law

Cities should start having ordinances that require so called Women's health centers to be called and applied for as Abortion clinics unless they perform at least as many births as the average hospital in comparison to abortions.

There is no constitutional right to Abortion but even the Supreme court can't stretch privacy rights to property rights and telling cities what kind of businesses they must allow. There is no constitutional right to open an abortion clinic.

It's the murder laws stupid?

There are already laws against murder - we just need to push enforcement of the existing murder laws...

just the facts ma'am

Take your pick: 

murder
n. the killing of a human being by a sane person, with intent, malice aforethought (prior intention to kill the particular victim or anyone who gets in the way) and with no legal excuse or authority. In those clear circumstances, this is first degree murder. By statute, many states consider a killing in which there is torture, movement of the person before the killing (kidnapping) or the death of a police officer or prison guard, or it was as an incident to another crime (as during a hold-up or rape), to be first degree murder, with or without premeditation and with malice presumed. Second degree murder is such a killing without premeditation, as in the heat of passion or in a sudden quarrel or fight. Malice in second degree murder may be implied from a death due to the reckless lack of concern for the life of others (such as firing a gun into a crowd or bashing someone with any deadly weapon). Depending on the circumstances and state laws, murder in the first or second degree may be chargeable to a person who did not actually kill, but was involved in a crime with a partner who actually did the killing or someone died as the result of the crime. Example: In a liquor store stick-up in which the clerk shoots back at the hold-up man and kills a bystander, the armed robber can be convicted of at least second degree murder. A charge of murder requires that the victim must die within a year of the attack. Death of an unborn child who is "quick" (fetus is moving) can be murder, provided there was premeditation, malice and no legal authority. Thus, abortion is not murder under the law. Example: Jack Violent shoots his pregnant girlfriend, killing the fetus. Manslaughter, both voluntary and involuntary, lacks the element of malice aforethought.

I wish that were true Truthmonger but The SCOTUS basically

declared a fetus as less than human. Abortion is a federally protected act but opening a clinic isn't.

so lets have the SCOTUS

so lets have the SCOTUS declare that monkeys will fly out of my ass:)

a SCOTUS declaration doesn't make it so

Our American laws reflect reality - that's why they work - which is why abortion ain't workin

Doomed to failure, because it is evil - and America abhors evil...not a question of if but when the law will be re-instated, and the abortion holocaust museum will soon follow after, and then we will rightfully displace the Nazi's as the officially worst perpetrators of genocide in world history...

Thanks for posting this WTH

This is very close to my house. I live in the neighboring city. Do you know if the National media has picked up the story?

They will probably be allowed to go through with it because we have such liberal courts here. I think it's outrageous. There certainly is no constitutional right to have an abortion clinic.

Fraud

Planned murderhood should be sued for fraud and jailed/fined expelled, this clinic should be aborted.

Abortion Clinic

Was it this one in Aurora or one in Texas that was tipped off to the city by a contractor because of the bullet proof glass that he saw going in the surgical procedure rooms?  I lose track.  Too many lies to keep track of.

Catchy rebuke to planned perenthood

I saw a special on television a while back detailing the many negatives of abortion.

There were many speakers appearing in front of a microphone voicing regret for either having had or being passively involved in an abortion.

One speaker delivered a great one-liner against planned parenthood.

 

"The best option planned parenthood has to offer a woman in crisis is the death of her child".

(would go great on a t-shirt or bumper sticker) 

More than 'many speakers'...

It's more than 'many speakers' voicing their regret at having had an abortion in the past. The woman who started all of this with Roe v. Wade has come out to voice her regret at having had her abortion.

Sorry guys. It seems PP DID contact someone in the City back in FEBRUARY. The guy now works IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. At the time, he said he told people in the mayor's office AND the City Council that PP was moving in.

This is from the Beacon News: "But city staffers now say that a Planned Parenthood representative did
contact the city earlier this year, using the company's more familiar
name, and spoke with then-Community Development Director Bill Wiet. Wiet, who was named chief of staff to Mayor Tom Weisner in June, called
all of the city aldermen last week to tell them his story. He has also
shared it with attorney Phillip Luetkehans, the man conducting an
independent investigation of Planned Parenthood's approval process."

OOPS! Someone is going to take the fall for this since legal papers were filed by the City stating the opposite. Of course, if you knew the City attorney...oh well, nevermind...

Let's get the story straight at least. We're NOT liberals here.

 

You are STILL ignoring the

You are STILL ignoring the fact that they lied in the first place! Are you excusing it? Do you want a baby killing clinic in your neighborhood? (I know you didn't say that, i am just wondering what you think of the existence of it?)

Let them stay... and then

Let them stay... and then pass a municipal ordinance making the property tax on abortion clinics in the city limits 1,000-times higher than for any other property taxed in the town.

Abortion

I am so sick of abortion.  The topic.  The argument. The supporters.  Proponents.  Supporters.  Advocates.  Corruptors of young women.

It's a filthy and disgusting business.  Yes...I meant that...it's a business.  I suppose, in this instance, I shall have to take a stance against capitalism. 

David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive

 

or a stance against God...

Double standard

If just one person doesn't want a fetus, that warrants an immediate, tax-funded death sentence.

If an entire community doesn't want an abortion mill in their back yard, too bad.

And to make matters worse, the fetus doesn't choose to be in anybody's womb. Whereas Planned Parenthood went in willingly where they knew they'd not be wanted. 

Akin to slipping her a mickey and raping her while she's out.

Interesting choice of approaches, PP.

G.O.D. = Gemini Office Development

How Orwellian that the front company for Planned Parenthood, Gemini Office Development, has the acronym G.O.D. I wish I could find their logo and see if it visually plays up the acronym.

My personal awakening to the sadness that is abortion came when I answered the question, "Who were you the day before you were born?" My answer forever changed me.

Gemini Office Development, has the acronym G.O.D.

 It turns out Gemini was a front company for Planned Parenthood. According to the Aurora Beacon News, July 29, 2007:

Aurora's Planning and Development Committee approved the final plan for the medical complex on November 16, 2006. … The owner was listed as Gemini Office Development LLC, a subsidiary of Planned Parenthood.   from WND

and who is PP?...

 

Our providers prevent an estimated 617,000 unintended pregnancies annually, helping to ensure that everyone has the right to choose when or whether to have a child, and that every child is wanted and loved. -  PP: Who We Are

maybe PP's Who We Are writers need to take some advice from Just Jason...
