How horrific to consider that when one mother is praying desperately for her premature baby's life,
another mother is having a late term abortion of "a fetus, a piece of undveleoped tissue". 
If you haven't heard about it yet, there is a pro-life organization here in Tennessee that conducted a sting operation at the Memphis Planned Parenthood last year. Here's the report on it and the link to the YouTube video of their undercover visit. This is shocking stuff folks - it's time to stand up and be counted.
STATE LAWMAKERS CLASH WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD OFFICIALS OVER UNDERCOVER FOOTAGE;
UNEDITED UNDERCOVER VIDEOS SUBMITTED TO TN LAW ENFORCEMENT
MEMPHIS, April 29--Following the release of undercover footage from a Memphis Planned Parenthood clinic, state lawmakers have introduced legislation that could divert taxpayer subsidies from Planned Parenthood in Tennessee. In response to Planned Parenthood of Greater Memphis Region's contesting the veracity of the footage, the group responsible for filming, Live Action, has sent the state Attorney General and Memphis District Attorney an unedited version for review.
The full footage is also on YouTube for public viewing. CLICK HERE to watch.
Lila Rose, 20-year-old president of Live Action, says the unedited video further exposes Planned Parenthood's reckless counseling practices. When Lila, posing as a 14-year-old girl impregnated by a 31-year-old man, mentions, "My boyfriend said he could pay for everything--But he shouldn't come here to pay 'cause you'll see him, right?" the counselor replies, "It doesn't matter. As long as your parents are not here and can't identify him, he can just pay and that's it. He could be like your older brother or whatever." Tennessee law states that a minor must have parental consent before undergoing an abortion.
Rose commends the Tennessee state lawmakers, led by Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey and Sen. Jack Johnson, who have questioned the state's over $700,000 funding of Planned Parenthood. "Why would citizens tolerate paying the bills of an organization that protects statutory rapists and victimizes young girls? This is the sad result of the careless abortion-first mentality that has persisted at Planned Parenthood for decades."
On Monday, Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region CEO Barry Chase sent an email to state legislators asking them to stop the bill and claimed that Live Action's president, Lila Rose, refused to release the unedited footage, even though neither Rose nor Live Action received any correspondence from Mr. Chase.
"We have not received a request from Planned Parenthood for the raw footage, so their efforts to raise doubts about the validity of the tapes are made only to mislead," Rose said in response. "The typical last-ditch effort of Planned Parenthood is to wantonly suggest that the unedited tapes might prove them innocent. But to better illustrate the deliberate cover up of statutory rape and abuse by Planned Parenthood, we have made the entire video public."
Live Action has also responded to the gross errors in Mr. Chase’s email to legislators. “It is all the more troubling to think that even a novice counselor at Planned Parenthood would know to recommend this law-evasion strategy. How prevalent must this evasion be at Planned Parenthood clinics when even the ‘interpreters’ are implicated?” states the letter. CLICK HERE to read the letter.
Live Action has released similar footage from five other clinics, located in Arizona and Indiana, as part of its Mona Lisa Project, which shows Planned Parenthood employees as they respond to reports of statutory rape and offer secret abortions. Find out more at www.liveaction.org.
Sorry, I can't read through your whole post. Just makes me so, so sad. Honestly, I went through a liberal time in college when I was very pro-choice (thank God for redemption!). After my miscarriage and struggle to get pregnant, my entire outlook changed. Seriously, people pray, beg, spend thousands of dollars to become parents while others want nothing more than to kill their baby. And that's just want it is, a baby. There's no difference between Julia and the baby in my womb. Both are living, healthy and loved. Makes me wanna cry to think that someone would be 33+ weeks and think that because their baby hasn't been "birthed" it isn't a person.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it true? We have a couple at church who 16 months ago gave birth to twins who were right around 30 weeks if I remember correctly. They spent AN ENTIRE YEAR from December 2007 fighting for one of the twins to simply stay alive. They have only been home together as a family since the first of this year. Amazing that all the effort, time, money, and resources that this family has poured into a fetus that happened to be on the outside of the the womb, eh?
