Planned Parenthood reports
record year for abortions

Washington Examiner [DC], by Charlie Spiering

Original Article

Posted By:Ribicon, 1/8/2013 12:15:27 AM

In its latest annual report for fiscal year 2011 to 2012, Planned Parenthood reveals that it performed 333,964 abortions in 2011 – a record year for the organization. According to annual reports, the organization performed 332,278 abortions in 2009, 329,445 in 2010, making the total number of abortions in three years to 995,687. Planned Parenthood reported receiving a record $542 million in taxpayer funding, according to a Susan B. Anthony List analysis of the report, in the form of government grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements. The amount is 45 percent of Planned Parenthood’s annual

Comments:
Just shy of a million babies killed over the past 3 years, "government" funding at all-time highs... like a broken record; where exactly are the Republicans? Just amazing.

Yeah, can´t cut PP funding. They do s-o-o-o much for "women´s healthcare."

i think they should publish the racial breakdown of all those lost babies. Might make some certain ethnic groups realize that they are the target of genocide.

They´ve murdered a million babies in three years, and they´re proud of it.

Wow.

Wow...we have an epidemic of rape and incest going on in this country...and you´d think by 2013 doctors would be able to save the lives of more pregnant women along with the child.

Those are the reasons we MUST protect abortion "rights"...aren´t they?

No one would have abortions for selfish reasons would they? I mean, if they REALLY didn´t want children they would have irresponsible sex...or...they would avail themselves of one of the myriad methods of preventing conception from taking place.

Wouldn´t they

That is a lot of "legal but rare procedures." (to quote Bill Clinton)
I really didn´t think there was that much rape and incest. After all, isn´t that why the PP supporters say we must allow abortions? /s

Abortion is one of the worst things a woman can do to her body and mind. Women´s rights will come in when they realize the horrendous damage they are doing when this "simple" procedure is performed.

When I was young, my gyn switched over, without telling me, to be an abortion doctor. While I was in his office, the first and last time after switching, he explained to me that his clients (he operated in the wealthy part of back bay boston)were usually well-of young women who could not be bothered taking contraceptives and were repeat clients.
And I have spoken to two women in their 60´s who had abortions after failed love affairs. Those two women say they knew they were killing a person. I don´t know why it is so important to liberals, men and women, to kill babies.

" if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"
"Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion"
"Abortion kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother. Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: Half the babies and all the mothers."

Maybe women are beginning to see that the present state of affairs in this country is not one into which they want to bring children. That doesn´t make abortion right -- the women should be using birth control and so should the men, but any way you look at this, it´s a holocaust.

The silence of “Christians” and “conservatives” is as deafening as the voices of the millions of innocent aborted babies. Without true repentance this nation will not escape judgment for allowing such atrocities to occur: over 3,500 abortions each day in the U.S.

The department of health actually did a survey of pregnancies and disposition by age and ethnicity in the greater NY City. I suspect it was intended to document that high prenatal mortality was the decision of the mother and not poor medical care. The Hispanic community led in pregnancy rate and the percentage of babies brought to term. The non-Hispanic black community had the second highest pregnancy rate and by far the highest percentage termination rate (around 40%). This rate did not begin to go down until you got to women over 26. Margaret Sanger must be dancing in her grave.

PP is evil. Once a person, a culture, a government gives itself the power to murder any innocent life, Evil has won. The Lord promises forgiveness of sin to anyone who will repent and accept Him in Jesus´ name. Please, anyone who had created an aborted baby, seek forgiveness for the sin of murder.

I hope Martha McCallum of FOX reads this article. During a report last year Ms. McCallum emphasized not once, but twice, that Planned Parenthood doesn´t perform abortions, it only counsels/refers abortion seekers to private providers. She was aided and abetted in this erroneous declaration by Judge Napolitano, who sat idly by and didn´t bother to correct her. Fair and balanced, you bet.


Reply 38 - Posted by: Geelabeela828, 1/8/2013 10:20:17 AM     (No. 9104773)

Let´s think about how many people are involved in one abortion:
- the mother;
- the dead baby;
- the father of the dead baby;
- the parents who paid for the murder;
- the "friend" who drove the mother to kill her baby;
- the grandparents of the dead baby;
- the doctor who killed the baby;
- the nurses and other attending who participated in the killing;
- the administrative staff who scheduled the killing and follow up appointments;
- the waste company who collected the remains of the baby...

and multiply that by millions. So, we are left with countless people who live their lives day after day defending this position and supporting their "right" to kill. To admit their sin would be too devastating so they dig their heels in and we´re left with the results: degradation of women, the family and culture. God have mercy on us.

#6 is spot-on...the PP number is about 25% of the abortions performed in the US each year...some data point to 600,000 Black babies being flushed down the toilet each year and that´s genocide...55million total US abortions since 1973 sounds like WWIII to me with all those killed being babies...

Judgement is here. Just remind all of those carelessly active lib women that they are most likely murdering there own DAUGHTERS. Then point out someone you know who is elderly, with no family to comfort or help them, in old age. Point out how lack of children & grandchildren is inconvenient when you can´t live on your own anymore. Explain that you can have inconvenience now or later - you are just choosing the timing.

Americans have callously sat by and allowed the murder of 55 million human beings. By not effectively counter acting this atrocity we have all SINNED in the eyes of the Creator of the Universe.
God has withdrawn His hand from this country and given us leadership that is bound and determined to run this country into the ground. Are we actually dumb enough to believe there is no connection?
Prayers to restore this country to its former greatness are useless! America needs to repent and ask for forgiveness!

By my calculations, using 2012 census data, one out of every 20 women of child bearing age (14-45) had an abortion last year. I am suprised that the rape and incest epidemic in this country and the poor overall health of the female population hasn´t drawn national attention!

I´ve heard it explained (from my pastor) that half of my generation (I´m 28) is "missing". Half of my generation was legally murdered before they could draw breath.
How can it be "alright" for a woman and doctor to kill a child if it hasn´t been born, but if someone was to shoot the mother in the stomach, killing both, it´s a double murder? I feel like I´m in an alternate reality.

I saw something a couple of years ago that this country currently has problems financing SS and other programs due to the fact that at least 30 million taxpayers were not available because they had been aborted. Think about that fact for a while. Libs traded financial security for our government in order to kill unborn babies.

Those posting above about how we all have sinned in not stopping this mass murder, please tell us what we are supposed to do about it?

I pray for an end to abortion every time I pray. I support and vote for only pro-life politicians. I send money to organizations like National Right to Life and the Catholic Church ( the biggest pro-life organization on the planet ). I march as often as possible in the March for Life in DC. I have taken part in prayer vigils near abortion clinics and on street corners. I have adopted a child who could have wound up as ´medical waste´ if her birth mother had made a different ´choice´.

What else can I do? How am I a sinner?

#34 is exactly RIGHT. God will indeed sort this out, and He is NOT HAPPY. Proverbs 6:16-10 says, "There are six things the Lord hates—no, seven things he detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family." (emphasis mine)

Folks, we can forget about Hitler. He was a piker...we´re now in Stalin/ChiCom territory. The people of this country allowed this to take place, and the people of this country re-elected a man whose party booed the re-introduction of God and Israel to their party platform (either by active vote or by staying home and not voting for the other person). God is NOT happy.

And I´ll go a step further - the church (at large) has blood on its hands as well. Yes, pastors and priests may say they´re against such, but in EVERY survey year after year, the church looks just like the world in EVERY category. Yes, there are people like #60 and those of us who have actively fought for morality and decency, and who have volunteered at and given money to crisis pregnancy centers, and who have worked in every manner possible to stand against this evil and persuade others to do the same. But we are few and far between, even in the church. God is NOT happy.

I hope quincy2 didn´t choose his pseudonym to commemorate Jack Klugman´s character on the "Quincy, ME" TV show. I´ve been watching the NetFlix collection of those shows from the 70s and 80s, and I´ve seen two episodes in which abortions were plot elements. Quincy had no interest in the aborted babies, but he was concerned about the dead "mothers" whose bodies reached his autopsy table.

One "mother" died because the abortionist was drinking before performing the abortion. Quincy knew and respected the abortionist "doctor", so he persuaded the fellow to join an Alcoholics Anonymous group of drinking doctors.

The other "mother" died after the abortionist dropped her off at an ER. The primary ER doctor was suspected of having mishandled her treatment, but she´d actually been treated by another doctor who wasn´t certified to work in an ER. Quincy spent a lot of the show agitating for better trained and certified ER doctors.

A record number of abortions sounds like something of which they are proud.

They´re probably the same group of libnut wackos who want to ban guns from honest citizens.

I do not agree with abortions at will; however, lately I´ve been thinking. If they all had those babies, there would be massive spikes in the numbers of welfare babies and more $$ going out to baby mamas.

It´s sickening no matter how you look at it.

What is worse? Abortion or rape of the country? And of all those babies that would be born, what would they be born into? A life of drugs, stealing, and jail? What quality of life is that for them?

I recently learned two young women I know had abortions. They are both emotionally devastated.

Mother Teresa is right, #22, it kills the baby and destroys the conscious of the mother. My prayers are with them. They have been indoctrinated to believe there is nothing wrong with abortion. After they´ve had it, they realize differently.

I look at my children and am grateful I never had to make that choice. As a young woman, I am sorry to say, I probably would have made the wrong choice.

On the bright side, they saved the IRS $1,262,656,400 in personal tax exemptions, and precluded nearly 332,278 new liberal voters in 2033!

Planned Infanticide should be their new name. When they wake up in hell, they can wonder how they got on the wrong side of God. Thou Shall not murder?

Gun control: Cartridge
ID law to take effect
San Francisco Chronicle, by Bob Egelko    Original Article
Posted By: Ribicon- 5/19/2013 2:34:55 PM     Post Reply
A hotly contested gun-control law that was passed in 2007 is finally ready to be implemented, Attorney General Kamala Harris said Friday: a requirement that every new semiautomatic handgun contain "micro-stamping" technology that would allow police to trace a weapon from cartridges found at a crime scene. The law, signed by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, made California the first state to require micro-stamping, which engraves the gun´s serial number on each cartridge. (Snip) But at a Los Angeles news conference Friday, Harris announced that micro-stamping had cleared all technological

A second ´house of horrors´ abortion clinic is being investigated in Texas, just days after Dr Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of murdering newborns at his Philadelphia termination center. Houston doctor Douglas Karpen is accused by four former employees of delivering live fetuses during third-trimester abortions and killing them by either snipping their spinal cord, stabbing a surgical instrument into their heads or ´twisting their heads off their necks with his own bare hands´. Other times the fetus was so big he would have to pull it out of the womb in pieces, Karpen´s ex-assistant, Deborah Edge, said

France weighs ´culture tax´
for Apple, Google products

President Francois Hollande will decide by the end of July whether France should impose new taxes on technology giants like Apple and Google to finance cultural projects, a move that could feed into an anti-business image days after a spat with Yahoo!. The Socialist government asked former Canal Plus CEO Pierre Lescure to find new ways of funding culture during an economic downturn, in line with France´s "cultural exception" argument that such projects must be shielded from market forces. While far from becoming laws, the proposals could worsen tension between France and technology giants after Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg

Montgomery, Alabama – Acting state Democratic Party Chairwoman Nancy Worley lowered her head and slowly shook it side to side when summing up the financial condition of her once powerful party. "We´re broke, broke, broke," Worley told the party´s Executive Board in a special called meeting Frida. How broke is broke? Worley didn´t sugar coat the answer. "This is my 18th day as chair and thirty minutes after I took over on April 22nd the landlord of the building where our party headquarters are came in and said he wanted us out, that the rent was overdue and was always overdue,"

Trenton — Police officials are examining the response to a 911 call Sunday night that left a city man struggling with an intruder at his building without any officers arriving. Dan Dodson said it was 20 or 30 minutes before two officers eventually arrived in response to his wife’s calls to police telephone numbers. “We’re looking into it to determine if the proper protocols were followed,” Lt. Steve Varn said yesterday evening. Yesterday, Dodson said he was deciding where to buy a baseball bat in case someone else was able to slip into his home. He believes one of the two

IRS Data Web Snares Mostly Low-

The Internal Revenue Service relies on technology more than ever to sniff out tax cheats using robo-audits and data mining—but so far it has caught lot of minnows, and big fish are still eluding detection. Even as millions of people´s accounts are screened online and matched against their digital files elsewhere, the IRS´s data-detection tools come nowhere close to collecting the $400 billion in tax dodges estimated to take place each year. (Snip) Such profiles will likely include shopping records, travel, social interactions and information not available to the public, such as health records and files from

Debris haulers´ windfall:
Odd math jacks up Sandy tab
The Record [Hackensack, NJ], by Shawn Boburg    Original Article
Posted By: Ribicon- 4/28/2013 9:19:22 PM     Post Reply
After superstorm Sandy struck, mountains of rubble were collected and taken to temporary storage sites. In Ocean County, those locations included a parking lot in Ortley Beach, a ball field in Bay Head, a recycling center in Berkeley. From there, trucks hauled it all to the county landfill in Manchester. The distances of those trips varied. But on bills submitted by the debris removal firm, they had something in common: They were all recorded as being just over or, in some cases, exactly 16 miles. Coincidence? Doubtful. Under the state’s contract with the cleanup firm, AshBritt Inc., 16 miles is

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?"

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans
