Planned Parenthood closes clinic after clinic

"Planned Parenthood is shrinking," said Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League. "Though it still operates the nation's largest chain of abortion facilities, Americans are rejecting Planned Parenthood and its agenda as more and more of its clinics are closing across the United States." American Life League's exclusive new study shows that the number of Planned Parenthood "health" clinics has plummeted to its lowest total in almost 20 years.

"In our study," explained Sedlak, who leads American Life League's effort to expose the true nature of Planned Parenthood, "we found the organization has 817 'health' clinics. The number of 'health' clinics is the lowest it has been since 1987." The rise and fall of Planned Parenthood clinic numbers can be seen in the following table:

1987 816 "health" clinics 1990 879 "health" clinics 1995 938 "health" clinics 2000 875 "health" clinics 2005 825 "health" clinics 2006 817 "health" clinics The number of Planned Parenthood "health" clinics has dropped from 938 in 1995 to 817 today – a reduction of 121 clinics in 11 years, an average of 11 "health" clinics per year. (Planned Parenthood also operates 42 "express" clinics that have no exam rooms and are basically retail store fronts. These facilities are not included in the count of "health" clinics.)

"This latest study shows that people are rejecting Planned Parenthood all over the country," said Sedlak. "Americans, whom we have supplied with the truth about this organization, simply do not want Planned Parenthood in their communities. It is time elected officials got the message and stopped giving hundreds of millions in taxpayer money to an organization that is clearly losing public support all across the nation."

I think the main thing that has kept this sinister outfit going is their deceptively wholesome and innocuous sounding name.

And our public schools provide them with avenues to spread their propaganda.

E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N!!!!

And if we stopped their federal funding, maybe they'd close the other half.

Lee Hamilton should be Pope. He claims he's infalible.

LOL! He'll have to fight Baker for the post! Baker's "fruit salad" comment wouldn't need any rewording to be taken as a warning to cafeteria Catholics.

[Mr. Silverback]

What you read about Margaret Sanger is absolutely true. She even spoke at Klan rallies, and her magazine was very supportive of the Nazi regime before the war broke out. She even ran a featured editorial by the Nazi Minister of Racial Hygiene, Ernst Rudin. At one point she came up with (and executed) a plan to recruit several black pastors, "educate" them about the importance of birth control, and send them into predominately black areas, so that the net result would be fewer blacks.

Part of the reason for the name change to Planned Parenthood was that after the Holocaust they needed to distance themselves from the rhetorical support the organization had given to Hitler.

I think the main thing that has kept this sinister outfit going is their deceptively wholesome and innocuous sounding name.

Which is why many of us refer to them as Planned Barrenhood.

[Mr. Silverback]

I suggest the following, its fun to do every few weeks. Call PP, tell them that you understand that they help with family planning and that you would like help planning a family of twelve. Turns out, they don't do that kind of planning.

I read this story about two Christians, a widow and a widower, who ended up having a real life "Yours, mine and Ours" situation with a total of twelve kids and one on the way. About a year after they got married, they all went to the county fair and a couple at a time they visited the Zero Population Growth booth. Imagine the sight of a family of fifteen, one of them in evidence only as a huge bulge in the mother's belly, wlking arounfd the fair with every one of them wearing a ZPG button. :-)

Actually, they are having a tough time finding abortionists. PP is a few lawsuits away from being in serious trouble.

[Mr. Silverback]

121 clinics in 11 years. We're winning!

The abortionist over in rockford, IL died and his replacement rides a circuit, doing abortions at three different clinics. I believe she spends two days a week at each, or something like that. The clinic in South Dakota stays open only because they fly an abortioist in every week.

[SampleMan]

That's great! Makes up for all of the childless, single child, sterile liberals coming through.

[cicero's_son]

Do you have a list of such companies?

I'd be interested in seeing one.

Abortions are down by a third. Abortion factories should be closing.

The Dems will find Federal money for them, though.

Bump for later reading when I need a pick-me-up

[GlasstotheArson]

Hah, good to hear. Just keep up the prayers and they will all be gone soon enough.

[Mr. Silverback]

The story (a true one) was written by the Mom. One part of the story I loved was when one of their grandchildren was born, and her husband told her, "Look, she has your eyes." The problem is that this baby had been born to his daughter from his first marriage, but they had meshed so well as a family that he had forgotten almost half his kids weren't "hers" in the genetic sense.

Later one of us pingout?

See post 36,37. Also, a web search of STOPP will allow you to have the current list mailed to you.

Thank you!
