Nashville PP hosts speakeasy fundraiser... $35/one drink & chance to cry in your beer with them...
PP Middle and East TN is advertising a fund raiser for drinks in the back room of a local bar entitling it
"Speakeasy for Planned Parenthood
"
For $35 you get one drink and the opportunity to "cry in your beer" about how bad it is for the women of Nashville to go to the Metro Health Dept. for cancer screenings. National PP advices focusing on re branding themselves and not talk about the "A" word cause that makes people uneasy and uneasy people tend to close their wallets. So how does a speakeasy image fit that challenge?? Well perhaps they are saying they are not the pretty girl but the back room girl . Does that fit the re branding charge given by headquarters??

PP fundraiser ad
"After the aggressive legislative session that had the Tennessee state legislators "go home with the pretty girl," (meaning they defunded Planned Parenthood in TN by blocking Federal Title X Family Planning funding), you'd think it's an all out Prohibition-style criminalization of reproductive rights and access to critical care like cancer screenings, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatement(sic) and birth control!"
So, we invite you to join us Saturday, July 30th, at Holland House Bar & Refuge - a bar reminscent (sic) of the Prohibition Speakeasies of the jazz age - celebrate what we do have: our commitment to serving the women, men and teens who need us and the best supporters and volunteers who are committed to keeping our doors open. |
Analyzing PP reports show facts not covered in MSM talking points...
For an eye opening primer on the financial standing of Planned Parenthood Federation of America check out this report.
Some highlights include...
Another eye popping entry...
Some highlights include...
"Planned Parenthood is extraordinarily wealthy in its own right, and does not need tax dollars to continue to operate.Of course they are looking for a future windfall from Obamacare that will make their current defunding look like small potatoes and fix them for life...whoops play on words....death.
According to its most currently published annual report, PP has nearly one billion dollars of net assets ($1,197,300,000.00 assets, and $202,600,000.00 liabilities).2
Planned Parenthood’s most current Annual Report discloses a total of 997 million dollars in revenue to its affiliates (broken down into 404 million dollars in health center income, 363 million in government grants and contracts, 209 million dollars in private contributions, and 20 million additional dollars from other operating revenue). This means that excluding government grants and contracts Planned Parenthood affiliates brought in 634 million dollars in revenue in their fiscal year 2008-2009. This does not include 117 million dollars in revenue to the national office."
Another eye popping entry...
Planned Parenthood’s pregnancy services are extremely skewed toward abortion.Wouldn't it be nice if the MSM would do some research before spitting out talking points...Just a suggestion.
For every adoption referral Planned Parenthood makes, it performs 340 abortions.12
Ninety eight percent of Planned Parenthood’s services to pregnant women (abortion, adoption and prenatal care) are abortion (according to its 2009 report: 332,278 abortions, 7,021 prenatal care clients, and 977 adoption referrals to other agencies).13
The number of pregnancy services other than abortion have been declining recently. For example, in 2007, it provided 4,912 adoption referrals, but in 2008, only 2,405, and in 2009, only 977. In 2007, it provided over 10,914 prenatal care services, but only 9,433 in 2008, and now 7,021 in 2009.
Nashville TV station infers PP gives prenatal care for expectant moms...
Channel 4 Nashville (WSM) had the following write up on their website....Get this headline....
"Lack of funding leaves expectant moms looking for options...."
Expectant moms!!! Really!!!I did walk in on the video of this story playing on the local news coverage, but since I missed most of it I wanted to go to their website and see the actual script.
I wish there was a place for comments. What a totally inaccurate write up!!
First of all, Planned Parenthood / Nashville does not do prenatal care... in fact only a tiny proportion of PP centers around the country report providing this care....63 out of 800+ and as for Nashville from their own website, they clearly state that if you are pregnant and wish to continue the pregnancy, they refer you out for prenatal care....but this headline suggests that expectant moms will be out of luck for prenatal care ????
Expectant moms going to PP come out not pregnant as in abortion. Oh ya, they say they do adoption counseling as in what???? carry the baby for 9 mos. and choose adoption????...nah...you need an abortion. Adoption referrals as in you want to do adoption???...go somewhere else.

If I did not know better and heard/read this report, I would think that the govt. cut the Title X monies for STD testing, well women check ups and birth control.... instead of just said that the services in Nashville would be done at the county health dept. instead of the nation's largest promoter and provider for abortion. The person who wrote this report was clueless.
Again, they kept saying poor women are going to be denied necessary care and try to paint PP as a totally benevolent organization bemoaning that the abortion giant cares only about women and not the sweetheart annual grant of $335K from our taxes. Look at this fact sheet about Maybe their non profit prez can chip in something from $100K++ salary?

Silent auction for pro choice art...no pics of babies....
I found this post from abortioneer's interesting.....
Then the commenters got in the game promoting their own art pieces. I looked at a few of them but they were pretty graphic and weird and posting them would necessitate a viewer warning so if you are so inclined here is the website.
"I love the arts and I love abortion work. As I was trying to find some obviously pro-choice artists and artwork, I came across the following. If you're an art lover - and an abortioneer - hopefully you'll appreciate these!Silent auction as in silent scream of the young one being aborted??? Here one of the pictures...strange...
Pro-Choice Resources in Minnesota had a silent art auction in 2008. Some of the pieces were quite wonderful, as you can see..."

Citizens with a telephone...call out misinformation by PP spin machine
Lila Rose and her team of citizens armed with a telephone and yellow page listings continue to embarrass Planned Parenthood and the abortion supporting administration. Aided by the complicit MSM they spread the lie that taking $$ from the abortion giant will take away care for medicaid eligible women. Just not true....the care is still available ....listen.

I was curious about how much doctor interaction was available to patients seeking an abortion so I called a Woman’s Choice
center to schedule the procedure. They informed me that I could come
that same day and wouldn’t have to talk to anyone before my appointment;
I could be “in and out.”
Regardless of your stance on abortion, this is not right. No woman or young girl should be able to have an abortion without a doctor consult. This is a decision and medical procedure that she will live with for the rest of her life; meanwhile abortion clinics treat patients as if they were customers at a drive-thru fast food restaurant.
TN: No Title X funding is denied to state's citizens
June 28, 2011
Letter writer Kathryn Parks ("Cuts to Planned Parenthood send Tennessee to the dark ages," June 25) is misinformed, and unfortunately The Tennessean is happy to publicize this misinformation.
No Title X money for family planning and cancer screening is being denied to the people of Tennessee.In Nashville, these funds will go to the Metro Health Department, which will perform these services.
So the money is there and the population will be served by a different vendor.
Why is that offensive to Ms. Parks?

Secular Pro Life: PP advises to donate blood to get HIV Testing....
Cross Posted at Secular Pro Life
PP that advised "go donate blood" listed on CDC site for National HIV Testing Day
I tell a lot of people, I say if you know, you're not quite sure, you're not having any symptoms, but for peace of mind, go donate blood-- 'cause if you go donate blood, they have to test for everything anyway.Blood donation groups were quick to point out what terrible advice that is:
Donating blood is not an appropriate mechanism to obtain screening for sexually transmitted diseases or any other test result. Though donated blood is screened, and is safer than it has ever been, the hallmark of the system is the honesty of the donor in completing the donor history questionnaire.Moreover, if your blood is rejected, they may not tell you why, in order to discourage people from abusing the blood donation system.
Why do I bring this up now?
Today is National HIV Testing Day. The Centers for Disease Control has a website, HIVTest.org, which lists testing locations throughout the country. I commend them for their efforts to eliminate this life-threatening illness. There's just one small problem [click to enlarge]:Yes, the CDC site is referring possible HIV-positive individuals to that same Planned Parenthood in Roanoke. I sincerely hope that the Planned Parenthood will not refer these individuals to the local blood bank!
Fortunately, people in need of HIV testing do have other, healthy options available. Planned Parenthood is not the only provider of legitimate reproductive healthcare! In fact, HIV Test.org shows that there are at least eight other HIV testing locations within a 30-mile radius of Roanoke.
If you are sexually active, I encourage you to get tested today. Avoid the blood centers and Planned Parenthoods; carefully choose a clinic where you feel comfortable. Although AIDS remains a serious disease, medical advances have brought us to a point where being HIV-positive doesn't have to be a death sentence. Early detection is key!

TN:Shelby Co. Health Dir. shouldn't get to choose her assignments
When the belt tightening TN lawmakers voted to reduce the budget for the infant mortality reduction program that begin in 2004 by " cutting the program's $4.6 million budget in half for the fiscal year and then eliminating it entirely the following year".....Shelby County Health Director, Yvonne Madlock, did not hide her strong displeasure.
Later when discussing the distribution of family planning monies, she responded to a question posed by Senator Campfield who wanted the funds to be administered by her dept. instead of Planned Parenthood . He asked if the Health Dept. had a legal obligation to provide these services. Ms. Madlock replied.....
Ms. Madlock needs to live in the real world where we do our jobs and get over our disappointment when our preferred projects are not funded and assignments are not of our choosing.
Yet Madlock continues to strong arm her superiors showing a strong loyalty to Planned Parenthood.

Later when discussing the distribution of family planning monies, she responded to a question posed by Senator Campfield who wanted the funds to be administered by her dept. instead of Planned Parenthood . He asked if the Health Dept. had a legal obligation to provide these services. Ms. Madlock replied.....
" Yes, it would be legal for this health department not to provide family planning services,"She does not hide her animosity at having a project that enjoyed strong funding for the past five years cut and being told that she now is responsible for administering a program with funding for a project she preferred to outsource. Is this why she is resisting providing this service unlike all other 94 counties in TN ? She continues to insist she will do it on a month to month basis and refuses to rule out outsourcing it to Planned Parenthood.
"But our mandate is also a mandate to protect the health of the community and protect the least of those in our community," Madlock said, before playing the city's health trump card: infant mortality rates that best those of many developing nations.
"Preventing unwanted pregnancies, allowing families to space their pregnancies, allows us to better control our infant mortality rate."
Ms. Madlock needs to live in the real world where we do our jobs and get over our disappointment when our preferred projects are not funded and assignments are not of our choosing.
Yet Madlock continues to strong arm her superiors showing a strong loyalty to Planned Parenthood.
"Though both she and Planned Parenthood’s Shelby County director, Barry Chase, said on Friday there had been no direct communications between them for several weeks, the bottom line seemed to be that, as Madlock said last week, Planned Parenthood continued to be on her list of hypothetical family service partners."I encourage Ms. Madlock to look at Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga and than to remind her of the above quote about the mandate of protecting the health of the community that employs her.

Smoking hurts the baby but abortion eliminates the fetus.....Obama/Sebelius reasoning....
What??? Does Sebelius and Obama approve???? Yes, they do and they even say the B word. They fully support abortion on demand when the B word turns into the F word....it is not a baby but a fetus....but when it comes to smoking....it is a baby. They are hypocrites of the first order. I like the comment at Jill Stanek's blog on this topic.....

Post abortive man speaks for lack of father's rights in billboard
Many men feel helpless in the face of abortion...whether married or single, they have no say...this man wanted to speak his mind. The judge is ordering him to take down the billboard even though the name of his girlfriend is not disclosed. What do you think?
From Fox News:
ALMOGORDO, N.M. – A state district judge Thursday ordered an Alamogordo man to immediately take down a billboard that implies his ex-girlfriend had an abortion.State District Judge James Counts issued the ruling as part of protective order the woman sought after Greg Fultz, 35, took out the sign on the city's main thoroughfare in mid-May.The billboard shows Fultz holding the outline of an infant. The text reads, "This Would Have Been A Picture Of My 2-Month Old Baby If The Mother Had Decided To Not KILL Our Child!"Fultz's ex-girlfriend has taken him to court for harassment and violation of privacy. A domestic court official had recommended the billboard be removed.But Fultz's attorney said his client is adamant about protecting his free speech rights and will appeal."He said he is prepared to go to jail for this," attorney Todd Holmes said."His position is that this billboard is not really about her. It's about his statement of fathers' rights."It was unclear if the woman had an abortion or a miscarriage.Her attorney, Ellen Jessen, said earlier this month that she has not discussed the pregnancy with her client because that was not the point. The central issue is her client's privacy and the fact that the billboard has caused severe emotional distress, she said.Jessen didn't immediately respond Thursday to a call and email seeking comment.

TN: Shelby Co Health Dir. will take Title X $$ mo. to mo. but not rule out using PP
The Commercial Appeal writes that Shelby County Dept. of Health Director, Yvonne Madlock has told her boss that she will accept the Title X funds ($1.345 MM )like the other 94 counties in TN but on a month to month basis. She continues to insist that she will not rule out subcontracting the work out to other vendors INCLUDING Planned Parenthood. Obviously she is willing to go to the mat for PP and I have to wonder why??? One of the commenters who is a nurse points out....
MemphisRN writes:
It amazes me that Memphians really believe that Planned Parenthood is the only agency that can provide "non-abortion family planning and health services" to patients who do not have insurance. There are many other agencies who perform the same services without providing abortions. All people should have access to these vital cancer screenings and they do through other non-profit agencies in our city. Be honest with yourselves Title X money going to Planned Parenthood through the Health Department is doing one thing- allowing an abortion industry to thrive. Over 8,500 abortions were performed in Shelby County last year and it is because our government dollars are continuing to support agencies like Planned Parenthood. They are many other deserving agencies in our community who provide family planning and health screenings without providing abortions.
Also, I have to wonder about the accuracy of the number of family planning visits PP throws out there in an attempt to save the tax $$ from flowing in.....I recall how Abby Johnson stated that as a PP Dir. they manipulated stats to their favor such as counting 12 mos. supply of bc pills as 12 visits . When PP is caught in over billing charges to Medicaid...this other information spills out.
For instance, an article in the Tennessean, a PP supporting newspaper, recently printed an article about a lawyer who is currently in litigation with PP of LA for over billing the govt. for $180 MM for bc pills and other meds.
Their client in the case is Victor Gonzales, a former vice president for finance for Planned Parenthood.
“He knows where the skeletons are,” Crain said.
And let us not forget the Memphis PP that made the news and distinguished themselves....
Unnatural Selection: This is where choice leads....
Excellent book review on a book written by a reporter who supports legalized abortion but is being truthful about what is happening and where this is going. Note: that "" Planned Parenthood's role in this. They try to portray themselves as caring about women but the facts get in the way of their PR agenda. A great read....
"Ms. Hvistendahl also dredges up plenty of unpleasant documents from Western actors like the Ford Foundation (Note from SA: PP president Cecile Richards is a trustee), the United Nations and Planned Parenthood, showing how they pushed sex-selective abortion as a means of controlling population growth. In 1976, for instance, the medical director of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Malcom Potts, wrote that, when it came to developing nations, abortion was even better than birth control: "Early abortion is safe, effective, cheap and potentially the easiest method to administer."The following year another Planned Parenthood official celebrated China's coercive methods of family planning, noting that "persuasion and motivation [are] very effective in a society in which social sanctions can be applied against those who fail to cooperate in the construction of the socialist state." As early as 1969, the Population Council's Sheldon Segal was publicly proclaiming the benefits of sex-selective abortion as a means of combating the "population bomb" in the East. Overall Ms. Hvistendahl paints a detailed picture of Western Malthusians pushing a set of terrible policy prescriptions in an effort to road-test solutions to a problem that never actually manifested itself.
This is where choice leads. This is where choice has already led. Ms. Hvistendahl may wish the matter otherwise, but there are only two alternatives: Restrict abortion or accept the slaughter of millions of baby girls and the calamities that are likely to come with it."
Sebelius: approves of graphic visual images....sometimes

Once again, we must stress that exactly zero freedom has been taken away from American

their tax money doesn’t go for something that they choose not to be
involved with can rest assured they have choice, and, tragically but
still, those who choose to kill a baby still can.

Tennessean: hatchet editorial demonstrates how out of touch they are....
What a hatchet job from the Tennessean. No surprise that their editorial board which is so beholden to the abortion industry. They are out of step with the Tennesseans per their own poll which states most Tennesseans are pro life. They just can't believe that taxpayers don't want to support Planned Parenthood...such a benevolent organization...NOT. No wonder readership is down....no credibility except in a few liberal pockets.
Even their commenters take them to task. Our county health depts. are the ones to offer birth control services and cancer screenings. This is the way it should be and if they cannot or will not because of their loyalties...let's get someone that will.
Listen to the ones who came out of the abortion industry such as Abby Johnson.....PP relies upon tax money to operate....they use those other services as foot traffic for the profitable end of their business...abortions.
I wonder if I start a grocery store will the govt. pay for the potatoes for me to stock and I will advertise them for a low price or maybe even free to get customers in my store and place them next tot he sirloin steaks which feeds my profit margin?? Just a thought.
Anyway back to the comments....here is one that caught my eye.

"Tony V....All emotional issues are confusing. My granddaughter recently found she was pregnant. She's also not married. A visit to the local Planned Parenthood office left her with only one recommendation. Have an abortion. I've heard of this happening in other situations but this was the first time I had a first hand experience with it. She has already made one mistake. Taking the life of an innocent child makes this mistake a minor detail."
Carelton U./Canada continues fight to ban pro life club
What happens to the north of us is important for us to watch because this thought process will try to come our way. Carleton University (Canada) is attempting to have a lawsuit dismissed brought by a student pro life club that was denied campus standing/access because they oppose abortion. Amazingly enough the non discrimination policy of the college will only allow clubs that abide by their viewpoint supporting abortion. This is so egregious that even the Canadian version of ACLU is siding with the pro life club. Hearing is Thursday. For back story read here and here .
TN: 2 Polls confirm Tennesseans are pro life ...both from liberal sources
Poll published today in Tennessean shows has some interesting stats about the life issue.
Do you think abortion should be legal in all cases, legal in most cases, illegal in most cases, or illegal in all cases?
Legal in all-6.5
Legal in most-14.6
Illegal in all-16.9
Illegal in most-9.6
don't know-2.6
Missing-49.8
On the issue of abortion, would you say you are:
Definitely pro choice -12.4
some pro choice-6.4
some pro life-6.6
definitely pro life-20.2
don't know- 3.7
Missing-50
Now I wonder about the missing. I guess the respondent did not feel comfortable answering so just skipped the question. These are not easy things to talk about so that may be the case.
Vanderbilt published a poll portraying the legislature as losing favor for tackling some controversial issues. I doubt their conclusions since the point of the legislature is not to look nice but to take up these very issues. But on the life issue.....they mentioned it but did not make a big deal of it.
"The majority of Tennesseans consider themselves pro-life and oppose abortion."

Shelby Co. TN Health Dir. supports PP but worries about demise of babies prior to birth!??
Yvonne Madlock's quote from a panel discussion on babies seems a little strange given her refusal to rule out subcontracting Title X monies to Planned Parenthood of Memphis. I know she is the darling of the abortion supporting pols from Memphis , but as Director of the Shelby County Health Dept, she is saying that unlike the other 94 counties in TN she may not be able to handle family planning services with this money. She must reserve the right to subcontract out and refuses to rule out the nation's largest abortion provider as a potential recipient.
I thought she was concerned about the demise of babies before birth.
"The
other thing that this community has
finally
adopted -- I'm really very happy about this, we all
should
be -- is that we now have a fetal infant mortality review
project
here in Memphis and Shelby County. What that allows us to
do
is to really analyze why do we lose fetuses? Why do we lost(sic)
babies before they are born?"
Ummmm Director Madlock....that would be abortion.

Komen continues unholy alliance with PP
Susan G. Komen apparently knows no shame. They have a slick marketing dept. and bring in lots of $$. But how did they get this unholy alliance going with Planned Parenthood? Jill Stanek posts another exchange that is just unbelievable. Susan G. has been continues to give donated $$ to PP even though they were forced to admit that PP does not perform mammograms.
Okay, I get that they refuse to accept the link of increased risk of breast cancer for those who choose abortions but to give large grants for basically doing a topical breast exam and handing out brochures is really outrageous. You can learn how to do a breast self exam and feel what the lump feels like with the dummy used in demonstrations. I learned that while attending a women's luncheon one year. Why not donate this $$ to county health depts. that actually do the mammograms?
I recently received a request for participation in one of their race for the cure. I wrote and asked why I should donate to a cause that gives $$ to PP when I am pro life. I received a terse reply that my email was forwarded for an answer. When the answer did not come, I emailed back and asked where it was only to receive another terse email stating that "they" were busy and would get around to my answer. The answer was a form letter that parsed words and basically tried to lead me to believe that the screening and handing out brochures was worthy of those grants. When a lump was detected they referred them to other agencies for the mammograms and in some cases paid for the mammograms. So they are forced to admit that their previous wording that PP does mammograms with these grants is patently false.
Okay, I get that they refuse to accept the link of increased risk of breast cancer for those who choose abortions but to give large grants for basically doing a topical breast exam and handing out brochures is really outrageous. You can learn how to do a breast self exam and feel what the lump feels like with the dummy used in demonstrations. I learned that while attending a women's luncheon one year. Why not donate this $$ to county health depts. that actually do the mammograms?
I recently received a request for participation in one of their race for the cure. I wrote and asked why I should donate to a cause that gives $$ to PP when I am pro life. I received a terse reply that my email was forwarded for an answer.
