Planned Parenthood abortionist sends another woman to the hospital
Dr. C.J. LaBenz, who has been committing abortions at the Planned Parenthood facility in Lincoln, Nebraska since April of this year, was apparently involved in a botched abortion at the facility last Thursday.
According to an Operation Rescue press release, at approximately 10:45 a.m. on September 4, a pro-lifer saw a woman placed in an ambulance outside of a PP center. The victim was then taken to Bryan LGH East Medical Center, and "abortionist C.J. LaBenz followed the ambulance to the hospital."
Prior to working for PP, LaBenz reportedly was involved in a number of serious incidents. In 1979, he was charged with unlawful abortion and criminal negligence. During a saline abortion procedure, one of his clients gave birth to a child weighing two and a half pounds. Shortly after the child was born, LaBenz told a nurse to place the child on a sink drain board. The nurse stated that the child was left to die in what she described as a "dirty utility room." The child lived for two hours before complete neglect led to the child's death. In June of 2002, LaBenz drove onto the grass outside of his abortion mill and struck a pro-life picketer, knocking her to the ground.
When PP tells people in your community about its "trusted" medical personnel, let them know about PP abortionists such as LaBenz.
Planned Parenthood of Dubuque tries futile intimidation tactic
Planned Parenthood hates to have dedicated pro-lifers outside of its facilities. PP knows that the presence of peaceful, prayerful witnessing makes the community more aware of its nefarious activities, lowers its workers' morale and discourages young teens from coming to its centers, because they fear someone might recognize them and tell their parents.
In many communities across the country, PP has tried to intimidate pro-lifers by conducting a "pledge-a-picket" campaign. PP recently opened a new facility in Dubuque, Iowa and has begun such a campaign there.
The problem for PP is that these tactics simply do not work. Although the campaigns raise a small amount of money for PP, committed pro-lifers are not deterred. They continue to protest and PP continues to be frustrated by their presence.
Several years ago, when PP started such a campaign in Birmingham, Alabama, a local food bank program run by pro-lifers countered PP's move. They promptly announced that picketing at PP would be counted towards the community service hours needed to earn food. As a result, picketing increased.
We know that this campaign will not discourage Dubuque's pro-lifers, and we encourage people all across the country to increase their presence in front of PP. To find out where there is a regular presence near you, just go to www.all.org/stopp/maps. If there is no protest near you, that web site will help you start one.
Is condom 'artwork' now part of 'comprehensive sex ed'?
Planned Parenthood promoted its new facility in Binghamton, New York by displaying "artwork" at its open house last Friday. The "artwork" at its new location consisted of several articles of clothing made of condoms or condom wrappers.
One such article was a prom dress made from condoms. Its creator, Yvonne Benjamin, said, "So when that's in the exhibit, it's going to be on the back seat of a car because that's where you would expect that age group to be active." Great way to promote sexual responsibility!
Benjamin also made an evening gown out of condoms, for display with a bed, "Because that sect [sic] of people would probably be a little bit older and a little bit wiser but still using some sort of protection for maybe children."
Is this part of what PP refers to as "comprehensive sex education"? Making jokes about sex? Is creating purses and dresses from condoms an effective way to teach children to respect each other's sexual dignity?
PP is pushing sexual, immoral lifestyles onto our children and calling it "sex education." What children really need is support and encouragement from parents and loved ones on the topic of chastity. PP received over $330 million in tax dollars last year. Sign the petition and help eliminate PP's sex education programs.
Planned Parenthood 'granted license to lie'
STOPP reported two weeks ago that Eric Scheidler was attempting to sue Planned Parenthood for libel and that his case was going before a judge to determine if he did, in fact, have a case against PP.
Last week, based on a law unique to Illinois, Kane County Judge Judith Brawka turned in a nine-page ruling in which she dismissed Scheidler's and the Pro-life Action League's lawsuit. Attorney Tom Brejcha, attorney for Eric Scheidler, commented, "Lies are now beyond legal accountability, so long as there is some government appeal pending. There's absolutely no accountability." Eric Scheidler added, "Planned Parenthood has been granted a license to lie."
The judge did allow Scheidler to file three other libel counts, which will be the subject of further court action.
STOPP lists all Planned Parenthood mega-clinics
STOPP has been updating its readers on all of the mega-clinics that Planned Parenthood has been opening and plans to open around the country. Now we bring you a list of all such PP facilities:
1. Houston, Texas - 78,000 square feet (under construction)
2. Denver, Colorado - 50,000 square feet (open)
3. Portland, Oregon - 40,000 square feet (in planning stage)
4. Worcester, Massachusetts - 33,000 square feet (in planning stage)
5. Seattle, Washington - 31,500 square feet (open)
6. Sarasota, Florida - 23,000 square feet (in planning stage)
7. Aurora, Illinois - 22,000 square feet (open)
Please use this list to organize protests, inform friends in these areas and encourage them to protest these mega-clinics. Planned Parenthood is moving towards larger facilities and attempting to increase its revenue by offering more services. The only way to stop this is to fight back against America's largest abortion provider.
STOPP staffer appears on 'ABC News Now'!
Last Thursday, September 4, STOPP's very own Marie Hahnenberg, a researcher, made her national television debut, to debate David Greenberg, the CEO of Planned Parenthood's Columbia Willamette affiliate. The debate, hosted by ABC News Now, centered on whether PP's sex education programs are effective and PPCW's new, highly offensive teen-targeted web site, "Take care down there." Marie stressed that the only sure way to avoid an unintended pregnancy and getting an STD is living a chaste life and teaching our children to abstain from sex outside of marriage.
STOPP is very proud of Marie and encourages all of our readers to watch the first and second parts of the video posted on YouTube. Congratulations to Marie for doing an excellent job of supporting the culture of life and fighting Planned Parenthood!
Pro-Life Memorial Day approaching!
Pro-Life Memorial Day, October 6, is quickly approaching, and STOPP is asking you to help spread the word and get as many people involved as possible. For this year's event, American Life League hopes to reach as many pro-lifers as possible and is offering a new item: the Pro-Life Memorial Day armband . The armbands are an easy and effective way to spread the message that over 49 million children have been murdered by surgical abortions since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
The event web site, www.prolifememorialday.com, features many new functions and tools, and is loaded with fresh ideas. It also has a great new look and displays this year's PLMD T-shirt design and the new PLMD armband. You can use this site to submit your PLMD story, pledge to participate, educate yourself on what this day signifies or make a donation. How you decide to participate in this day is not what matters; what matters is that you participate in any way that you can. Please spread the word about Pro-Life Memorial Day and get everyone you know involved.
All shirts and armbands must be ordered by September 22 to ensure delivery by October 6.
