Planned Parenthood's secret plan
For over 20 years, American Life League has been uncovering the truth about Planned Parenthood and making that truth known to the general public. Sometimes, the truth is just so weird that even our staunchest supporters have trouble believing it. Well, one such truth has just been confirmed and we want to let you know.
In 2004, we uncovered Planned Parenthood's secret plan and reported it in the May edition of The Ryan Report. As more facts became known, we updated readers in the November 2004 edition. Here are pertinent excerpts from what we wrote back then:
May 2004: STOPP directors obtain "Post-Roe" plan document from PPFA's annual conference. (At Planned Parenthood Federation of America's annual conference in Washington, D.C., we) obtained ... a flyer announcing a special meeting on April 23 in the hotel sponsored by the Western Region Post-Roe Task Force. The flyer, entitled, "A Special Joint Regional Session: Effective Service Delivery in a Post-Roe World: A Wake Up Call," said: For over six months a group of 15+ Western Region CEOs, staff and volunteers have been meeting in person and by conference call to prepare a Post-Roe Services Strategy. Countless hours have been dedicated to developing a Board Discussion Guide on "Planned Parenthood's role in Preserving Access" (with tips for facilitators). A communication plan has been started for when and if Roe is overturned and the committee are eager for new voices to complete this plan. Our current Congress could enact legislation that would quickly make abortion illegal all over the United States. If Roe is overturned there will be no constitutional right to abortion. Congress could act immediately to create a Right to Life law and our current "safe states" could very well not exist for much longer. ... Join the Western Region Post-Roe Task Force ... to get down and dirty about living in a Post-Roe environment and to talk about how affiliates can start making preparations proactively to various scenarios in a Post-Roe world.
November 2004: If Roe is overturned, Planned Parenthood may move abortuaries to reservations. (We have now learned) that one of the real options being considered by Planned Parenthood is the possibility of providing abortions in places where federal laws don't apply. Some of the places it has identified are: Native American reservations; ships offshore (such as the Women on the Waves initiative); and setting up abortuaries along the border in Canada -where abortion is legal.
In 2005, I was on a speaking tour in the United States and was going to make short presentations at Masses in one Catholic parish. My host told me that the pastor had given permission for me to talk at the end of Mass. The pastor's one caveat was, "Tell him not to talk about any of that crazy stuff, like Planned Parenthood opening abortion clinics on Indian reservations."
South Dakota confirmation
Now, South Dakota has passed a law banning all medical and surgical abortions in the state. The law will go into effect either on July 1 or after referendum and court challenges are completed. The legislature concluded their session for the year on March 21. Just two days later, the following news item appeared:
March 23: Sioux leader vows to open Planned Parenthood Clinic. The leader of the Oglala Sioux plans to open a Planned Parenthood Clinic on her South Dakota reservation: The President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation, Cecilia Fire Thunder, [said,] "To me, it is now a question of sovereignty. I will personally establish a Planned Parenthood clinic on my own land which is within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Reservation where the State of South Dakota has absolutely no jurisdiction."
Wow. Just two days later and a public announcement is made that is right in line with one of the alternatives discussed by Planned Parenthood in 2004! We do not believe this is a coincidence. Clearly, Planned Parenthood had been laying the groundwork for this and Ms. Fire Thunder was ready.
Planned Parenthood's response
But, Ms. Fire Thunder may have revealed the plan too early. Below is Planned Parenthood's public response. Please note as you read this that Planned Parenthood does not say it won't open an abortuary on Indian land; it just says not "at this time."
March 23 ... Planned Parenthood Expresses Gratitude to Oglala Sioux - Has No Plans to Move Clinic to Pine Ridge Indian ReservationSioux Falls, SD --- Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota President and CEO Sarah Stoesz expressed gratitude today to Cecilia Fire Thunder, President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, for offering to establish a Planned Parenthood clinic on her land, but said that there are no immediate plans for opening another clinic on the South Dakota Oglala Sioux Pine Ridge Indian reservation.
In a statement to the press earlier this week, Cecilia Fire Thunder, President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe was quoted as saying she would "personally establish a Planned Parenthood clinic on my own land..." in protest of Governor Round's signing of a sweeping abortion ban in the state of South Dakota. Many residents of South Dakota have expressed outrage at lawmakers' attempts to criminalize abortion.
"While we sincerely appreciate President Fire Thunder's genuine support for Planned Parenthood and for women everywhere in South Dakota, we have no intentions of closing our existing clinic in Sioux Falls, nor do we plan to open another clinic at this time. Our doors at the Sioux Falls clinic will stay open, and we will use every resource necessary to ensure continued access to birth control and other essential healthcare services including abortion care. We will fight the abortion ban at every level. All the women of South Dakota can rest-assured that our doors will stay open in both Rapid City and Sioux Falls," Stoesz said.
The bottom line
Pro-lifers across this nation should see all of this for what it is: a God-given glimpse into the future plans of Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood is plotting what it will do to be able to keep killing children even if Roe v. Wade is overturned - even if the personhood of the preborn child is written into American law.
The only way to really stop the slaughter is to stop Planned Parenthood. We MUST stop its access to our children and our money.
You can do the first by using the techniques described in our book, Parent Power, to get Planned Parenthood out of our schools and other organizations. Order your copy of the book at: http://store.yahoo.com/americanlifeleague/planpar.html.
You can help take taxpayer money away from Planned Parenthood by having everyone you know go to www.StopPlannedParenthoodTaxFunding.com and sign the petition.
Cecilia Fire Thunder has done a great service to the pro-life cause by confirming Planned Parenthood's secret plans for how it will keep killing our children and grandchildren. It is now up to us. Do we let Planned Parenthood keep operating in the dark, or do we take the steps now to peacefully, prayerfully bring about its demise.
LETTERS - At American Life League we frequently receive reports on how the battle against Planned Parenthood is going in various towns across the country. We bring you two of the recent reports so you can see the effectiveness of these activities.
Report from the front lines in Poughkeepsie, New York
Our time to pray at PP's killing center in Poughkeepsie is from 9 to 11 a.m. on Thursdays. Today, Keith and I attended 8 o'clock Mass at St. Mary's in Poughkeepsie as usual and after walked down to PP at 17 Noxon St. Tom, who usually faithfully joins us, has a bad cold and was visiting his doctor instead but was holding us up in prayer anyway.Keith and I arrived and set up the few signs I brought with me to let the passersby know what we are praying about. Before we started any prayer, a car pulled up to us as it was exiting Planned Parenthood. The woman rolled down her window and I thought, "Here comes the pro-choice tongue lashing!" To my surprise here is what she said: "I have a 7-year-old son because I saw a bumper sticker which changed my mind from having an abortion. It said, 'I am a child, not a choice.'"
I don't know why she was coming out of PP but what she said really floored both Keith and I. We were at first at a loss for words but then hurriedly thanked her for the RIGHT choice and passed on our blessings. This was truly God's way of saying that every effort that is made to save babies and their parents from the culture of death will bear fruit, even though you may not know it. It so happens that we also have that same sign and use it mostly on Tuesdays at PP when we know they are murdering babies by surgical abortions.
Before we could start our rosaries, another car pulled into PP and I approached it with pro-life material in my hands. The lady said in broken English that she was coming to PP for a pap smear test and she has had all the children she could. She said that she did not believe in abortion. We again thanked her but tried to steer her to another place. She said that she uses Medicaid and it pays for all of her test here. This use of our tax money has got to stop! Keith and I came up with a possible solution but need to talk to an organization before it could be started. Pray for its success.
I walked over to my car to click on the video camera (for protection) and a black woman was looking at the "Emily" poster I had hung on my car. It is a gruesome picture of an aborted baby at 7 months that took place in Texas. This aborted baby was found in a dumpster. The woman and I discussed partial birth abortion and agreed it was much like what was pictured as "Emily." She said that she also did not believe in abortion and wanted us to keep up the good work. We said that we would. Keith and I started our rosaries. Several times cars would beep at us this morning. God has visited us at PP today!
All [Knights of Columbus] members are still welcomed to join us every Thursday at 9 a.m. Call Rich for any information you may need or e-mail me. Thanks be to God!
Report from the front lines in California
For the second time, last night I received a call from another Planned Parenthood employee who "can't take it any more" and wants to leave. Both of these calls have been from young women employed as medical assistants in the abortion side of the clinic. I want to share this good news with you, so that you can be praying for her during this employment transition. I had noticed that this employee exhibited a sadness as she walked to work each morning and about 10 days ago, I discreetly offered her my phone number, indicating I would do everything I could to help find her another job. She furtively took my card, glancing to make sure the escorts were not watching.I would estimate she has been at PP for about a month. She told me last night that she thought it would be like any other "clinic assignment she had experienced, but after seeing such horrific things, she must find another job." The exact phrase she used is quite graphic, but I think it sums up her shock and desperation so accurately that I will write it here. Please skip this paragraph if you will be offended by the graphic blunt language.
She described the defining moment as when she "saw what looked like Barbie dolls cut up into little pieces, covered in blood" Gulp. Also, her mother is a nurse and she has long wanted to help people with her medical training. She also explained her father was adopted, realizing that if his mother had not chosen life, "I wouldn't even be here!" So working at PP has affected her very deeply on many levels, on many facets.
First, I give thanks, glory and praise to God for this young woman's courage and strength to turn away from such a terrible place, but she does have real-world economic needs, such that she can't quit immediately. She did not seem to have a faith presence in her life, but I asked her if I could pray for her and she was genuinely thankful. I didn't press her for her name or phone number, but I'm sure I'll see her at PP during this transition time and I hope that our relationship will continue.
My purpose for writing is to ask that you join me in praying for her, so that she can find another job and that she be so abundantly blessed for her courage and obedience, that there will be no doubt in her heart and mind that there is a God who loves her and wants to provide for her, such that she will be drawn closer to Him from this day forward. Please pray that, as she searches for another job, may her remaining days at PP be in service to Him. May she be an encouragement for other employees to flee. May she be a voice of support to women who are minutes away from abortion. May she be observant of what goes on inside PP so that her experience can courageously "teach the multitudes."
Thank you for your prayers. If anyone wants to come to the clinics to pray in support of life in ministry to women, please let me know, particularly during this Lenten season.
