Protesters gather at Planned Parenthood sites, upset over undercover video
Planned Parenthood nationally and in Utah stresses women not getting pregnant until they want to become so – providing counseling and contraceptives – and reproductive health for women.
Planned Parenthood officials gave a statement of their own, insisting that the organization does not use fetal tissue for medical research, in any of the states.
Saturday’s crowd was estimated at 4,500 by Brian Gibson, the executive director of Pro-Life Action Ministries, one of the groups that organized the protest.
Except when the topic is being discussed, inevitably it will lead to Planned Parenthood.
Over the weekend, thousands of pro-life advocates from across the country held rallies to call attention to the horrifying abortion industry practices revealed by the recent Planned Parenthood undercover videos.
Planned Parenthood has released an ad attacking Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte and twisting her intentions into something to fit their agenda.
The protest attracted a small counter-demonstration by supporters of Planned Parenthood, who stood on an opposite street corner holding a banner.
A vote in the Senate to cut federal funding of the organization, failed earlier this month.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said August 3 that he would cancel the state’s contract with the two Planned Parenthood clinics. “If you have intact cases, which we’ve done a lot, we sometimes ship those back to our lab in its entirety”, she said.
We reached out to Planned Parenthood but they said because it’s a Saturday they didn’t have anyone available to comment about the protests. The state claims those locations primarily in Southwest Florida, self-reported they performed some abortions outside their first trimester limit. The reality is that they have so much revenue from just abortions alone that there’s no reason why Americans should have to pay that.
“The doctor who is doing the abortions doesn’t actually have admitting privileges at any hospital within 30 miles, which is a state law”, Hoffmeyer said.
Seven years ago, I lost a baby.
The Center for Medical Progress also shows flyers in which the company touts its profitability and its partnerships with a Planned Parenthood clinic.
“The protest was an outstanding success, with pro-lifers coming out in droves to expose Planned Parenthood’s horrific practice of harvesting and selling aborted baby body parts“, said Mr. Scheidler in an email. Richards has repeatedly denied that her organization derives any financial benefit from the sale, but StemExpress and Planned Parenthood officials confirm on CMP videos that the sale generates “revenue diversification”.
