Planned Parenthood Fought Partial-Birth Abortion Ban
Planned Parenthood Fought Partial-Birth Abortion Ban in the Courts
From the article "Abortion Industry Exposed in Courts" by Bradley Mattes:
From the testimony:
The Court also asked Knorr this question: “When you bring out a fetus in pieces, you make sure that you have got all the parts that you want; right? You try and lay them out and put them back together as best you can to see if you have everything? Knorr said, “Not necessarily. Some of us keep track on the way out.”

Planned Parenthood
Randall K. O’Bannon, Ph.D. has worked for the National Right to Life
Committee since 1989 and has researched, written and lectured on a number
of life issues including RU-486 and the activities of Planned Parenthood. Dr.
O’Bannon presented a workshop on Planned Parenthood along with Laura
Antkowiak Hussey. The following excerpts are taken from the text of Dr.
O'Bannon’s portion of the workshop:
“Planned Parenthood is the Nation’s Leading Abortion Chain. Statistics from
their 2001-2002 Annual Report find, that over the past decade the abortion
rate has been declining from 1.6 million to 1.3 million yearly. Planned
Parenthood is on a steep climb with 875 “Health Centers”. Arkansas is the
only state which is Planned Parenthood free. In 2001, 213,026 abortions
were performed at Planned Parenthood centers, only 15,016 women were
prenatal clients, 1,151 women were referred for adoption (only two per
clinic) and PP served only 282 infertility clients. 93 % of the women who go
to Planned Parenthood receive abortions. There are 109 abortions for every
adoption referral.”, O’Bannon reported.
51.9% of abortions are performed on minorities.
Planned Parenthood gets its $692 million yearly from three sources $254 million
come from clinic services (the majority being abortion), $240 million comes
from government funding and $190 million from private contributions.” For
example, “The Educational Fund of America” has given grants to Planned
Parenthood to expand and improve their abortion services.” Dr. O’Bannon
states. What does Planned Parenthood do with their money? He says, “They
spend $35.8 million on advocacy, promoting pro-abortion public policy, $22.4
million on “family planning”, and $19.5 million on service to affiliates. In 2000
Planned Parenthood spent two million dollars to elect pro-abortion candidates
and are currently focusing on a major campaign to defeat President Bush.”
Abortion is central to the mission of Planned Parenthood. Dr. O’Bannon
reports “Planned Parenthood takes credit for the defeat of pro-life judicial
nominees like Judge Pickering, Pricilla Owens and Miguel Estrada, has filed
lawsuits against Idaho’s Parental Consent Law and Missouri’s Funding
Restrictions, and is currently fighting a lawsuit against requiring them to inform
women about the link between abortion and breast cancer.”

Among PP goals for the next 25 years they list “The right to sexual and
reproductive self-determination, trusting individuals to make informed
decisions.” Why then do they oppose informed consent legislation?
Regarding “new reproductive technologies”, O’Bannon says “Planned
Parenthood has “promoted new methods of abortion like RU-486, created a
bio-ethics board to address reproductive cloning and they advocate
“therapeutic cloning” which is the creation and destruction of new human life for
medical research. A Planned Parenthood center in Overland, Kansas was one
of the suppliers of fetal tissue to researchers. PP can’t sell the fetal tissue, but
they rent space in their office so the researchers come in and extract the fetal
tissue and send it off to research labs.”
O’Bannon talked about The National Catholic Register report of April 12,
2003 which covered a survey of 833 abortion clinics, many were Planned
Parenthood clinics. “The investigator posed as a 13 year-old girl with a 22
year-old boyfriend looking for an abortion. Ninety percent of the abortion
counselors urged the girl to come in for a pregnancy test but to say nothing
about the age of her boyfriend. They were willing to cover up a statutory rape
to sell an abortion.”
He also talked about the Des Moines Register’s report on the 1994-95 trials of
RU-486 quoting Planned Parenthood’s Jill Jean saying there were “no
complications”. A Doctor who read the article wrote a letter to the editor
saying a woman involved in these RU-486 trials came to his office after her RU-486
abortion and nearly bled to death. She had to be rushed for emergency
surgery and transfusions. The doctor wrote, “If near death, surgery and four
units of blood isn’t considered a complication, I don’t know what is!” Planned
Parenthood’s Jill Jean responded in her letter to the Editor, “No conplications
refers to the condition of the trial and not the condition of the participants.”
What was the purpose of these Planned Parenthood-conducted trials? In
responsible medical trials the purpose IS studying what the drug does to the
participants!

Exposing Big Abortion's Racism
Students Against Margaret Sanger:
How SFLA Is Exposing Big Abortion's Racism
by Colin Mason
Margaret Sanger is one of the pro-choice movement's iconic figures. She is extolled as a pioneering feminist, health worker, and woman's activist. Her quotes on these subject are treated as scripture. But she was also an outspoken supporter of eugenics, who wanted more children from the fit and sterilization, even segregation, for the unfit. The infamous Negro Project, which targeted Blacks for contraception and sterilization, was one outcome of this.
Planned Parenthood, of course, does not want you know these facts. So the organization works hard to burnish Sanger's reputation, and goes into damage control mode whenever questions are raised about her more unsavory views. At the same time, however, they continue to quietly practice what she preached...

Abortion Clinic Owner Interview
Abortion Clinic Chain Operator Now Pro-Life and Speaking Out
Eric Harrah was part owner of one of the nation's largest chains of abortion clinics. He recently converted to Christianity and walked away from the lucrative business of killing unborn children. Dr. Willke and Brad Mattes interviewed him regarding his involvement in the abortion industry.
From the interview:
Eric Harrah: Planned Parenthood is hated by any doctor or [abortion] clinic that is independently owned and operated. Their [Planned Parenthood] bread and butter is the abortions that they do. They don’t do it because they care about women. That’s where the majority of their money comes from. Planned Parenthood is shrewd, though, because it’s easier for a politician to stand behind Planned Parenthood to support them than it is to stand behind some entrepreneurial businessman or woman who has an independent clinic. It’s more socially acceptable.
Dr. Willke: Yes, PP has an image of doing it legitimately.
Eric Harrah: Yes, but what PP also has within the business itself is their record of being racist, squashing competition and outright lying about competition to squash them. What PP wants is a monopoly in the abortion business.
