Planned
Parenthood
of
Wisconsin
currently
dispensing abortifacients via
teleconferencing
What do Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin and Planned Parenthood of the
Heartland [Iowa and Nebraska] have in common? For starters, both are
pushing abortifacients via teleconferencing, a process whereby a woman
consults with a doctor on a video camera, and at the end of the
"appointment," out pops abortion-causing drugs.
Describing how abortions are dispensed via videoconference in Iowa, the
New York Times,
June 8: "A modified cash register drawer pops open in front of the
woman seated next to a nurse in a clinic — perhaps 100 miles from this
city — with mifepristone, the medicine formerly known as RU-486, that
is meant to end her pregnancy." Click

Iowa is the only state in the U.S. to provide abortions through
videoconferencing. But, as the New
York Times reports, "So far only Planned Parenthood clinics in
Iowa use this method, but around the country, abortion providers have
begun asking how they might replicate the concept." Operation Rescue
has filed a complaint with the Iowa State Board of Medicine, asserting
that this
method does not meet the state requirement that licensed physicians —
not nurses or others — perform abortions.
Currently, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin [PPWI] dispenses birth
control, which can act as an abortifacient, via teleconferencing.
Federal tax
dollars financed the setup of PPWI's teleconferencing system.
The Business Journal of Milwaukee
reports, "The video phones, which are the size of a laptop computer,
are at 10 Planned Parenthood locations — Racine, Delavan, Waukesha,
Fond du Lac, West Bend, Portage, two clinics in Madison and clinics in
Milwaukee on Mitchell Street and Wisconsin Avenue. The 10 locations
were chosen because they are the organization’s Title 10 clinics, which
means they receive funding from the federal government. Planned
Parenthood’s other centers are either state-funded or self-sustaining.
A federal grant paid for the video phones, which cost $15,000 each,
including the infrastructure needed to operate the phone." Click

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is an organization that, by its own
admission, has morale
problems
and
saw
half
of its senior management staff quit in 2008.
Teri Huyck, currently president and CEO of PPWI, was the vice president
and chief operating officer of Planned Parenthood Chicago Area before
arriving here in Wisconsin. Huyck is credited with raising more than
$500,000 to further PPWI's work killing preborn children.

UW abortionist Dutton
leaving, documents show
Update: The
Associated Press confirmed that Dutton is leaving. Click
here
to
view
article.
Emails obtained through an open records request, filed by the Alliance
Defense Fund on behalf of Pro-Life Wisconsin, reveal that University of
Wisconsin (UW) abortionist Caryn Dutton is leaving to take a position
in Boston. The documents also show how the negative press surrounding
the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics’ involvement in
abortion was affecting its public image.
The emails demonstrate that UW purposely blurred their failed attempt
to provide late-term abortions at the Madison Surgery Center. Beth
Fultz, director of corporate communications for UW Health, referenced
UW’s May 5 statement as, “Here’s the vaguer than vague version 2.” Click here
to view.
“UW no longer upholds its famous dictum, ‘The University of Wisconsin
should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing
by which the truth alone can be found,’” said Virginia Zignego,
communications director and a UW graduate. “UW instead aims to
obfuscate, slice and dice the truth with the blood of the
unborn.”
In a May 5 email, Ron Gilmore, vice president for public affairs for UW
Health wrote, “The whole topic of second trimester abortions has been a
UW Health issue – and unfortunately the media has tied the whole issue
to UW Hospital. The stories were very negative to us in the press.” Click here
to view.
The emails show how Pro-Life Wisconsin’s press release spurred UW to
admit abandoning late-term abortion plans at the Madison Surgery Center
(click here
to view); the departure of abortionist Caryn Dutton (click here to
view); and the crafting of a canned statement in response to the
publicizing of phone numbers of UW personnel who supported the
late-term abortion plan (click here to view).

In Britain, dozens of teenage girls have had
three abortions or more
When abortion is being sold in television commercials and encouraged in
schools, it is not surprising to see these sad results. The soul of a
nation is lacking when more than 1,000 women or girls were on their
fifth abortion at the time of the survey. May God have mercy on us all.
From Britain's The Daily Telegraph newspaper:
Government data have disclosed that 89 girls aged 17 or under who
terminated a pregnancy last year had had at least two abortions
previously.
The head of Britain’s largest abortion provider said many young women
were living chaotic lives that meant they could not organise
contraception.
Christian doctors said the statistics demonstrated the failure of
liberal sex education policies.
The Department of Health figures for 2009 show that, for the first
time, more than a third (34 per cent) of abortions were performed on
women who had already ended one or more pregnancies.
Across all ages, more than 1,000 women or girls were on at least their
fifth termination, including 214 on their sixth, 70 on their seventh
and 48 who underwent the procedure for at least the eighth time.
Dr. Peter Saunders, from the Christian Medical Fellowship, which
represents Christian doctors, said that the figures were profoundly
depressing. “It is increasingly clear
that abortion is simply being used as a form of contraception by a
growing percentage of girls and women, and that tired policies of
values-free sex education, condoms and morning-after pills are not
working,” he said.

Pastor arrested for praying at Planned Parenthood
in Washington, D.C.
From LifeSiteNews:
Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition,
was arrested on Tuesday for praying on property where hundreds have
prayed before - in front of the Washington, DC Planned Parenthood (PP)
facility.
The grass and walkway between the facility and the road have often been
the scene of peaceful prayer protests. Several weeks ago, however, PP
built a fence around the walkway and put up signs claiming that the
area is private property.
According to Mahoney and others, however, the claim is absurd.
"Thomas Jefferson said eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,"
Mahoney told LSN on Friday. "So if you don't stand up for free
speech rights, they can be stripped or removed. And that's what
we'll be doing on Tuesday."
Hence, at about 11:30 on Tuesday, after informing police of his
intention, Rev. Mahoney knelt on the sidewalk leading to Planned
Parenthood and began praying. A few moments later, police
arrested him for unlawful entry.
"We're not blocking what they want to say. We're preventing them from
trespassing onto private property," said Diane Quest, a Planned
Parenthood spokeswoman, according to Congress.org.
But according to Mahoney and his lawyer Jim Henderson, this claim is
but the latest of many deceptions by PP over this piece of land.
