Planned Parenthood: Pro-Abortion Bill a Victory, Executive Order Meaningless
Life News ^ | 3/22/10 | Steven Ertelt

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Planned Parenthood called the pro-abortion health care bill the House approved late Sunday night a victory and applauded the financial windfall is expected to reap as a result. The abortion business also dismissed the executive order President Barack Obama promised Congressman Bart Stupak as harmless.

“For more than a year, Planned Parenthood has worked tirelessly for a health care" bill, its president Cecile Richards said in a statement today. "It's a huge victory for women's health, but our work isn't over yet."

With passage of the legislation, "monumental progress was made toward achieving these goals."

Richard dismissed the executive order, which has been slammed by pro-life groups, as a "a symbolic gesture ... to anti-choice Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI), which has diverted attention from the central goal."

"Planned Parenthood is also extremely pleased that members of the House listened to the millions of women and men who expressed their strong opposition to the Stupak abortion ban. Stopping the Stupak ban was a high priority," she said. "It was a tough fight, but we salute Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D- CA), Congressman Rosa DeLauro (D–CT) , members of the House Pro-Choice Caucus."

Despite Stupak's contention that the executive order would implement his abortion funding ban, Richards says that's not the case.

'What the president’s executive order did not do is include the complete and total ban ... that Congressman Bart Stupak (D–MI) had insisted upon," Richards said. "So while we regret that this proposed Executive Order has given the imprimatur of the president to Senator Nelson’s language, it is critically important to note that it does not include the Stupak abortion ban."

"Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to keep the Stupak abortion ban out of the final legislation and President Obama did not include the Stupak language in his Executive Order," Richards admitted.

Jill Stanek, a pro-life nurse and blogger, commented on the response from Planned Parenthood and described it as an a-ha moment.

"Now it all comes out. It didn't take long for Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards to revel in PP's financial gain from passage of healthcare in a Planned Parenthood statement just released. Note also Richards' dismissal of Obama's executive order," she said.

Planned Parenthood applauded "a provision to expand family planning under Medicaid, which would significantly increase access to essential preventive health care for millions of women" -- in other words increasing the abortion businesses' customer base.

Richards admitted as much, saying, “As a result of this historic expansion of health care coverage to more than 30 million Americans, the doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals who work for Planned Parenthood health centers will be providing care to many more" people.

Stupak and the Blue Dog dims should never have caved.

I knew when Obortion O said this would happen that he was lying to Stupak et al. (Including us!)

The executive order was a cover that Obama gave to his footstool, Stupak, for a “yay” vote. The ruse is obvious to PP, and you can bet that Stupak has figured it out on his own.

If the Campaign Finance bill slap-down by the SCOTUS was a big jolt to Obama and the Democrats, the slap-down of this Health Scare Bill is going to leave a crack in the earth’s surface right at their doorstep.

It’s only a matter of time. Enjoy it while you can Barack, Nancy, Harry, and your Fascist minions, this sucka is going dowwwn.

I would give a $100 to see Stupak and the rest of the pro-life Dems explain what in hell they did and address this news item.

I'd give a lot more than that to see them tarred and feathered.

Instead why not send a contribution to the Republican who wins the primary and faces Stupak in the general election?

The whole thing with Stupak was pure Kabuke theater from its beginning.

Exactly, Big Murder knew that it was a hoax all along

So did Stupak. I'm mailing a donation to Dr. Benishek.

Margaret Sanger-founder of Planned Parenthood
In Her Own Words

On the extermination of blacks:
“We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population,” she said, “if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” (excerpted from: Woman’s Body, Woman’s Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America, by Linda Gordon)

I plan to send this to every member of the Black Caucus, Louise Slaughter, Bart Stupak, MY black “representatives”, and many black anchors in local news and remind them that DEMOCRATS LOVE PLANNED PARENTHOOD....and I plan to ALERT as many people in the next few months as possible, via phone calls, faxes, e-mail and snail mail.

I suggest everyone do the same.
They can’t hide from US or history.
Let’s educate the idiots!
