NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin advocates eugenics
Lisa Subeck, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin, had the
following letter to the editor in the June 18 edition of the Wisconsin State Journal (read it
online here.)
A year and a half has
passed since Madison's only provider of abortion care between 19 and 22
weeks of pregnancy retired. Though a plan has been approved to offer
abortions at Madison Surgery Center, a gap in reproductive health care
remains because the center is not yet providing them.
What happens to a woman
diagnosed with cancer who must terminate her pregnancy to receive
lifesaving treatment? Or who learns a severe fetal anomaly will leave
her baby unable to survive outside the womb? Or to the 14-year-old
incest victim, too ashamed to tell anyone she's pregnant until she can
no longer hide it?
Women seeking abortions
late in the second trimester generally face desperate circumstances and
difficult choices. Without this service available here, they must
travel to Milwaukee or Chicago for the care they need.
No woman faced with
terminating her pregnancy under dire circumstances should have to
travel to receive care away from her family, doctors and support
system. This is the real story of the gap in abortion care in Madison.
This is nothing more than Hitler’s eugenics gone mainstream. Lest we
forget, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger advocated for
eugenics against the disabled, Catholics and minorities.
Pro-Life Wisconsin opposes abortion in ALL
cases. The circumstances of a person’s conception or
physical or mental abilities do not determine one’s worth. In the case
of fetal abnormality, when abortion is used to do away with a
disability, it is discrimination of the most severe kind. These
children are not merely discriminated against for their disability;
they are killed because of it. Abortions in these cases raise
frightening prospects, for if it is right to kill a disabled person in
the womb, could it not then be permissible to kill a disabled infant? A
disabled adult? The answer is clearly “no” in those cases; why is there
any question when the victim is a child in the womb? Preborn children
diagnosed with disabilities deserve to be treated with the same respect
as people born with or without a disability. Every person, born or
unborn, has the same worth in God’s eyes.
Furthermore, Subeck's claim that "Madison's
only
provider
of
abortion care between 19 and 22 weeks of pregnancy
retired" is not true. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin admitted
in its Fall 2009 newsletter (click
here for the PDF) that abortionist Dennis Christiansen was not
retiring and would be performing abortions at least four days a month
in Milwaukee and Rockford, Ill. Sidewalk counselors at the Madison
Planned Parenthood, located on Orin Road, observed Christiansen
entering the abortuary this past week.

Wrap-up report on UW
abortionist Dutton leaving
The
Associated Press picked up Pro-Life Wisconsin's press release about
University of Wisconsin abortionist Caryn Dutton's departure. The
Associated Press article was printed in the June 15 editions of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Wisconsin State Journal, Boston Herald and many smaller
newspapers across Wisconsin. The news was covered by Jill Stanek on her
blog,
and
TV
and
radio stations. Click
here to read the Associated Press article.
The Harvard Crimsom, the
student newspaper at Harvard, confirmed that Dutton will be joining the
faculty at Harvard Medical School (click
here). This means Dutton will most likely be teaching medical
school residents at Harvard how to perform abortions.

Jill Stanek: Coming soon or already here --
taxpayer funded telemed abortion systems
Last week, Pro-Life Wisconsin revealed Planned Parenthood's
telemedicine system already in place for dispensing birth control
pills. Jill Stanek wrote about the issue on her blog and later revealed
that Planned Parenthood of the Greater Northwest has a similar setup in
place in Alaska (click
here to read).
From Jill Stanek's blog:
The
New York Times
reported on June 8:
So far only Planned
Parenthood clinics in IA use this [RU-486 telemed abortion]
method, but around the country, abortion providers have begun asking
how they might replicate the concept.
I don't necessarily believe it's true that RU-486 telemed abortions are
confined to IA at this point. Adding fuel to my fire is the article
below that Pro-Life WI has dug up, posted by The Business Journal of Milwaukee on
July
10,
2009....
Takeaways: The telemedicine system has been in place at WI Planned
Parenthoods and paid for with tax dollars for 2 years, the same length
of time PP of the Heartland has been committing telemed abortions.
Wide scale PP collusion on telemed abortions for quite awhile is not
only possible but probable. I expect many more PPs around the country
have been girding for them with government grants, funding telemed
systems under the guise of needing them to dispense birth control pills.
Furthermore, Teri Huyck, the new CEO of PP of WI, is definitely one not
to be trusted if she says WI PPs haven't started committing telemed
abortions. Huyck was instrumental in the Aurora
PP
cover-up.

FDA panel endorses ellaOne, new abortifacient pill
The article below discusses how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
[FDA] recommended approval of a new abortifacient drug, named ellaOne.
Demonstrating that the FDA panel is not an independent panel of
"experts," UW-Madison Law School professor Alta Charo, who sits on the
boards of
the Alan Guttmacher Institute and Planned Parenthood Federation of
America, is currently a "senior advisor in the Office of Commissioner
to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration." To read why Pro-Life
Wisconsin is opposed to emergency contraception, click
here.
Associated Press, Washington Post, June 18:
U.S. government health experts voted Thursday to endorse a new type of
morning-after contraceptive pill that works longer than existing
products, concluding that it is safe and effective.
The unanimous recommendation from the Food and Drug Administration's
panel of reproductive health experts moves the pill ellaOne, which is
approved in Europe, one step closer to the U.S. markets. The FDA is not
required to follow the panel's advice, although it often does.
EllaOne [is marketed for use] for up to five
days after sex. Plan B, the most widely used emergency contraceptive
pill, is effective only if women take it within three days of having
sex.
EllaOne has drawn criticism from anti-abortion groups, which say the
drug is closer to an abortion pill than emergency contraception.
