Clinic is caught in the fog of abortion war (Abortion Clinic Closes)

SPRINGFIELD, MO.

When Springfield Healthcare Center mysteriously closed its doors, Rosina San Paolo praised the Lord.

"I danced. I thanked the Blessed Mother. I thanked Jesus," said San Paola, 82, who has spent the past 22 years protesting outside southwest Missouri's only abortion clinic.

But another woman left a starkly different message on the clinic's answering machine after hearing the news that, as of Oct. 19, the facility had been shuttered.

"As a former patient, I just wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who works there," said the woman, who did not leave her name. "You are all godsends for what you do there. . . . I am extremely disgusted by the Springfield community."

Such polarized perspectives on the clinic and the city that harbored it highlight the continued tensions in the region, the state and the nation more than 32 years after the Roe vs. Wade ruling by the Supreme Court in favor of legalized abortion. And that's despite the continued decline in the number of abortions, in Missouri and the country.

As both sides of the abortion issue point out, the dissent goes beyond the surgical procedure. It includes the dispute over differences between RU-486, a pill that causes abortions, and Plan B, the so-called "morning-after" pill that prevents pregnancy.

A companion debate, nationally and in Missouri, focuses on whether pharmacists should be required to stock or dispense Plan B, and if it should be available without a prescription.

There's also a growing argument over the influence of sex education in reproductive choices, and whether groups like Planned Parenthood, which support abortion rights, should be allowed to provide sex information to public schools, even if they ask for it.

The political stakes were underscored this week when Gov. Matt Blunt, who lives near the clinic,

More than likely a repeat customer.

Ridiculously euphemistic name for an abortion clinic alert! "Healthcare center" indeed.

40,000,000+ since June 1973 is more than enough. Illegal aliens stream into this county like water, but unborn potential citizens are left in the ashes. It gives the prayer "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" a bad name.

whether groups like Planned Parenthood, which support abortion rights, should be allowed to provide sex information to public schools

Not in my backyard. Never.

[I still care]

"You are all godsends for what you do there..."

Notice the euphemism for "what they do".

God never sends people to kill innocents.

You are all godsends for what you do there...

Good grief.

What god? Moloch?

[mother22wife21]

"protesting hag"???????
What a classy way to honor those who fought the good fight.

[Irish Rose]

I don't know... It was Moloch, though, to whom Canaanites sacrificed infant children, wasn't it?

[Petronski]

I think so. I'm going by memory, and my googling offered no help.

[Petronski]

You're an ass.

[Petronski]

Meet GSlob (via the private mail he just sent me):

Maybe I am an ass, or maybe I am not: I happen to believe that other people effing is none of mine [or that 82 years old hag's, or yours, for that matter] effing business. Besides, speaking figuratively, why should one thrust oneself between other people's genitalia and play a prophylactics? It is an undignified role to play.

"As a former patient, I just wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who works there," said the woman, who did not leave her name. "You are all godsends for what you do there. . . . I am extremely disgusted by the Springfield community."

If she is so supportive of the abortion clinic then why doesn't she leave her name? Could it be that her life now is not what would be viewed as "dreamery"? I suspect so.

[boatbums]

I think it was "Baal"

[turnrightnow]

When I get to heaven, what will I not hear the soul of an aborted infant (you know, the ones who are sucked out of the womb and fed through the industrial-strength garbage disposal) say?

"You are all godsends for what you do there..."

Of course this "client" is so proud of her patronage that she declines to leave her name.

The priests would then beat loudly on drums & other objects so that the cries would not be heard.

[Clinic administrator] Collins, 41, and the mother of five, says she's been an advocate of abortion rights since she traveled to suburban Kansas City at the age of 16 to have an abortion and was appalled by the protesters and massive signs.

"I wanted to make sure that no one had the feeling I had," Collins said.

Let me guess: Guilt???

[Prov3456]

Thank you for that list.

[BlackElk]

An estimated 21,000 sliced, diced and hamburgerized innocent babies from 1975 to the closing of this little Auschwitz for babies at Springfield, Missouri. The clinic director was one Michele Collins who, with an Irish name like that, must have had Irish ancestors. Brian Boru would know what to do.

[BlackElk]

Oh my, GSlob does have his/her/its undies in a bunch, huh?

[hinckley buzzard]

If she is so supportive of the abortion clinic then why doesn't she leave her name?

One reason it is difficult to get accurate followup information on abortions is that a very large percentage of aborters use false names and addresses, and the abortionists don't try to stop them. Being largely a cash on the barrlehead kind of transaction, it isn't necessary to get a "billing" name and address.

No one in this odious business has any vested interest in the truth, from the mother's real name on down to the nature of the procedure itself.

[taxesareforever]

Which means that all followup data provided by PP or other abortion facilities is non-factual, just like this report.

[Mr. Silverback]

More than likely a repeat customer.

I'm not saying there aren't any satisfied customers patronizing abortion clinics, but something tells me that call was probably from a pro-abort activist. And it wouldn't surprise me a bit if the call was made solely for the benefit of the media.

[Mr. Silverback]

You're correct, though I've seen it spelled as Molech most of the time.

[GrandEagle]

CONGRADULATUIONS!!
I wish we could get our murder shop closed here in Mobile.

Kelli Rohrbaugh, the public affairs coordinator for Planned Parenthood, said the facility has no plans to open an abortion clinic in Springfield. With no such option, "a lot of people are turning to us, asking 'What's going to happen now?'" she said.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

This is the best thing that could ever happen in any area. I want to be there to celebrate the day the last abortuary in America finally closes its doors for good.

[GrandEagle]

Lev 18:21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech,

Deu 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,

2 Ki 16:3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.

2 Ki 17:17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
2 Ki 17:18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel,

Jer 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Jer 32:36 And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;

Ezek 16:21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?

Baal, Molech, witchcraft, divination, etc. All seem to be sort of tied together. I don't think they are directly associated, but they do seem to follow each other around. They all appear to make God very angry.

I always thought Baal was the god of fertility, and to honor him they would have huge public ogys...I could be wrong...

Opposition to abortion is not opposition to sex. But I do think this reply explains why support of abortion is so strong because it's seen as necessity for responsibility-free recreational sex, since they've still failed to find a 100% perfect way to keep fertilization from taking place. It's the same motivation for their argument that condoms are the best way to deal with AIDS and so on. It's all about preserving their ability to "eff" without feeling guilty about it or taking responsibility for any of the negative consequences.

[Aussie Dasher]

I continue to pray ALL abortuaries go the same way!

[mdmathis6]

It was Moloch...It was a large metal image of a cow in which a fire was lit at its belly, the children were sent through an opening in the image's mouth and the child would tumble down the "throat" and be roasted alive in the "belly". This was the God of fertility. It was one of the blasphemies that ancient Israel fell into and was condemned for!

[boatbums]

Isn't interesting how, through abortion today, it is usually the firstborn that is still sacrificed to the god of this world (Satan)? The firstborn as well as all the "first-fruits" have always belonged to the true God and Satan tries to steal this as well.

[Salvation]

You're welcome. It's good to know that we are winning!
