National Day of Protest Keeps Columbia Planned Parenthood in Spotlight

Of course one wonders how a man who believes that Planned Parenthood, a group that sells baby parts like toys and teaches sexual deviancy to minors, will keep the abortion rate low is qualified to accuse anyone of “madness”. It’s unconscionable. Mr. Schaefer is also threatening to withhold money from MU because he says the doctor he outed has privileges at the university hospital. Planned Parenthood now receives over $500 million in taxpayer funding annually.

Putting a doctor at risk from anti-abortion activists, merely to serve his own personal ambition, is more than scary. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. Protesters from groups like 40 Days for Life came out from across the state as part of a national day of protest.

In Florida, Planned Parenthood went to federal court challenging a state finding that its services had violated state law. Planned Parenthood won both times.

Interestingly, Planned Parenthood has a new health center under construction in New Orleans and they are planning to apply for it to be licensed as an abortion clinic. “Politicians who have tried to do this in other states have failed”.

Planned Parenthood officials say tissue donations are legal. The group sent in people posing as representatives of the biomedical industry seeking tissue for medical research.

The dubiously obtained videos – and unproven allegations – were enough to energize a campaign to defund Planned Parenthood. The Columbia facility resumed abortion services this month after a three-year lapse in service.

Last winter, Planned Parenthood helped me enroll in a health plan through the Affordable Care Act that was right for me.

My question about the Biblical prohibition on lying occurred in the Columbia Daily Herald online comments and was in direct response to another commenter (who since deleted his comment), not to Rep. Blackburn, whom I have met and spoken with on several occasions. In the latest inspired move, Republican state legislators in Ohio have introduced a bill to make it illegal for a woman to terminate her pregnancy because she has discovered that the baby would have Down syndrome.

“This generation understands that abortion is our nation’s greatest tragedy”, said Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America.

Planned Parenthood on Monday requested that a judge intervene in its ongoing battle with the Agency for Health Care Administration over state regulatory violations it was issued August 5th.

Schafer is now the chairman of the Senate Interim Committee on the Sanctity of Life, whose objective is to investigate how Planned Parenthood uses it’s funding and how it disposes of fetuses. “They’re gonna answer the government, they’re gonna answer to God”, said Ang.
