This is great. I just wish the taxpayers didn't have to give Planned Parenthood $363 million in federal tax dollars. If Bush would veto such funding this year and we could bury Planned Parenthood with lawsuits, we could seriously weaken America's #1 killer of the unborn.

The suit correctly alleges the following concerning Planned Parenthood's systematic black genocide:

"Examining the statistics regarding Planned Parenthood's clientele further supports the lawsuit's allegation of genocide. According to Planned Parenthood's own statistics, 42.7% of the abortions they perform are on minorities, which is three times more than on whites as a percentage of their respective populations."

Interestingly enough, Planned Parenthood's practices have drawn praise from Aryan Nation leader Tom Metger:

What We Believe As White Racists

by Tom Metzger

Covertly invest into non-White areas, invest in ghetto abortion clinics. Help to raise money for free abortions, in primarily non-White areas. Perhaps abortion clinic syndicates throughout North America, that primarily operate in non-White areas and receive tax support, should be promoted. At the same time, issue stock. This will help Whites raise their standard of living, in two ways.

Perhaps the plaintiffs will want to call Tom Metzger to the stand, dressed in a hooded sheet of course.

The suit alleges medical malpractice, wrongful death, civil rights violations, mass fraud, and genocide by specifically targeting minority women for abortions.

Is this what the attorneys need to know about abortion?

Another potential witness for the plaintiffs:

The Rev. Jesse Jackson admitted in a 1990 speeach that, "Abortion is black genocide." He then asked, "What happens to the mind of a person and the moral fabric of a nation , that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience?" His more recent and politically motivated flip flop on the abortion issue brings his moral credibility into severe question.

With 1/3 of all abortions performed on Black women, the abortion industry has received over 4,000,000,000 (yes, billion) dollars from the Black community.

Based on the following allegations contained in the aforementioned lawsuit, I am calling upon Attorney General Ashcroft to launch a Justice Department investigation into possible Civil Rights violations, including genocide, by Planned Parenthood.

Examining the statistics regarding Planned Parenthood's clientele further supports the lawsuit's allegation of genocide. According to Planned Parenthood's own statistics, 42.7% of the abortions they perform are on minorities, which is three times more than on whites as a percentage of their respective populations. In George Grant's book Grand Illusions (4th edition, March 2000), Grant quotes from a Department of Health and Human Services report (the most recent statistics available) that states that African American women made up 43% and Hispanic women made up 10% of the abortions performed in America. Not counting (only because figures were not made available) Native American, Pacific Islander, and other minority groups who had abortions during the reporting period, that means that at least 53% of the abortions performed were done on minority women, with the largest percentage being done on African Americans. Grant adds more fuel to the fire by observing that abortions outstrip births in most African American communities by 3 to 1. Another indicator is the fact that the overwhelming majority of Planned Parenthood's clinics are located in or near minority neighborhoods.

The attorney representing Smith who filed the initial suit is Jason R. Craddock of Springfield, Illinois, who is part African American and American Indian. Johnny B. Davis, an attorney who specializes in class-action and civil rights litigation, located in Dothan, Alabama, is also an attorney in the suit. At this point in time, Craddock and Davis are also being assisted by Thomas Smith of Franklin, Tennessee, and Ted Amshoff of Louisville, Kentucky, both of whom specialize in medical malpractice suits. Other attorneys from other states are expected to join in the suit.

In a telephone interview with Davis, he emphasized that he and the team of attorneys working on this case are going to be expanding it across the country. "This is a class-action suit, therefore we are looking for women who have suffered physical or emotional harm from abortions performed on them by Planned Parenthood to be added to the list of plaintiffs. We especially wish to find additional plaintiffs from the state of Missouri," he stated. Davis went on to explain that it does not matter where the woman may now live, it matters where they had their abortion. For instance, a woman now living in Illinois, Texas, or any other state, who had an abortion in Missouri, could be considered part of the Missouri class-action suit.

Davis also stated that not only are women who have had an abortion being encouraged to join in the suit, but the families of women who have died as a result of an abortion and those women who have been left incapacitated as a result of an abortion, are being encouraged to join in as well.

Jason Craddock had this to say about his involvement in the case: "In a way, as an attorney in this case, I feel like David against the much bigger Goliath, or Gideon's army against the much more numerous Philistines. However, as those men knew, no one can trash the living God and not be called to account for it. No one can destroy what our Lord Jesus Christ holds dear -- the lives of precious children, the integrity of all races, and the sanctity of the biblical family -- without facing His judgment. May this case be such an instrument of His judgment."

A real, honest to goodness legal dream team! Gentlemen, you may start your lawsuits!

Soak the butchers.

If the Justice Department can go after Denny's, why not Planned Parenthood? Does anyone actually believe that Denny's activities have been more harmful to blacks than the activities of Planned Parenthood?

Denny's Agrees To Retrain Managers

.c The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - 04/11/2000 - Denny's Inc. has agreed to retrain the managers of its company-owned restaurants nationwide in response to allegations it requested excessive documentation from aliens applying for work.

The Justice Department said Monday the company also agreed to pay $89,400 in civil penalties.

The managers of all 835 company-owned Denny's restaurants will be trained how to verify that aliens are eligible to work under the Immigration and Reform and Control Act of 1986. Denny's spokeswoman Debbie Atkins said today in Spartanburg, S.C., that the 930 owners of Denny's franchises are not affected by the settlement.

John Trasvina, Justice's special counsel for immigration-related unfair employment practices, praised the company's ``cooperative spirit in resolving the matter.''

``Even though the investigation focused solely on San Diego-area restaurants, Denny's is taking steps to ensure that managers at every one of its company-owned restaurants across the country do not make the same mistake,'' Trasvina said.

Trasvina's office conducted an 18-month investigation of allegations that San Diego Denny's restaurants requested specific documents from newly hired noncitizen workers to prove they could legally work in this country.

The law prohibits employers from demanding specific identification documents and allows new employees to choose which of several documents to produce to establish work eligibility.

The 1986 act prohibits job discrimination based on national origin and citizenship status.

In 1994, Denny's settled a $46 million discrimination suit filed by black Secret Service agents who said they were denied service at a restaurant. The complaints were among a series of discrimination claims by black customers at Denny's restaurants around the nation.

As part of an agreement with the Justice Department in those cases, the chain agreed to retrain employees in requirements of federal civil rights law covering public accommodations, feature minorities in its ads and hire an outside lawyer to monitor compliance.

"If the Justice Department can go after Denny's, why not Planned Parenthood?"

Well, the current President's father just happened to agree "1000% percent" with Planned Parenthood's goals and was the co-author of Title X, among other population suppression measures. Will Bush direct Ashcroft and the DOJ to investigate [the obvious], or will he scuttle an investigation that might raise more questions than he's comfortable answering? Judging by recent actions, I say he'd squash it.

[Also, this article is a little flawed: laminaria are sticks of seaweed that expand when moistened.]

"Defendant has a long history, even dating back to its origin and founding, of intentionally targeting and encouraging lower income persons and those of minority races and ethnic groups, to have abortions, sterilization, and to use contraception, in order to lower the populations of said groups.

They didn't call PP's founder, Margaret Sanger, the 'Father of Modern Eugenics' for nothing! She and her cohorts didn't like all those little brown babies! I'm glad to see these folks have to pony up some money to defend themselves! They and their friends at NARAL have been doing this for YEARS to pro-life organizations to the point where many had to fold so that their officers would not be sued as INDIVIDUALS and be wiped out financially.

What goes around comes around. Payback's a b*tch, ain't it?

How does the left reconcile this attitude with the desire to bring in tons of immigrants? Can we get the two camps to start fighting one another?

This is what I will never understand. Even if the House GOP and President Bush could somehow overlook the tremendous evil PP does by killing our children and then perverting the ones it fails to kill, Bush and his friends should want to defund Planned Parenthood of its $363 million simply for TACTICAL reasons:

Pro-choice Planned Parenthood will also likely end up spending nearly $18 million on Al Gore’s behalf this election year, directing persuasion phone calls and mailings to more than 2 million “compassionate conservative” women the group identified in surveys earlier this year. Additionally, Planned Parenthood ran $8 million worth of T.V. ads in nine key battleground states.

Planned Parenthood Spent Millions to Defeat Bush

If we can't get these guys to defund PP for the rights reasons, maybe they will defund PP out of their own self-interest.

That is awful. I cannot for the life of me understand why it is possible for a baby killer to get away without providing full discloure and obtaining informed consent, but a surgeon working on an ingrown toenail cannot.

This lawsuit is wonderful news!!! The best defense is a great offense. Go Plaintiffs!
