Increasing business by using deadly pills
American Life League releases most recent report on Planned Parenthood activities
News release from American Life League
March 16, 2010
Washington, DC – Three weeks ago, a woman named Angie Jackson live-tweeted her RU-486 medical abortion obtained at Planned Parenthood. As Angie described her mental and emotional state, and detailed the pain and trauma of her experience, the story made national headlines, and captivated and horrified the nation.
 Today, American Life League released its annual survey of Planned Parenthood locations. The American Life League report confirms that the nation’s largest abortion purveyor has increased the number of facilities committing medical abortions by 130 percent – even while the total number of Planned Parenthood facilities decline.
“While we are thrilled to see the number of Planned Parenthood affiliates and facilities declining, we are extremely dismayed to see Planned Parenthood continuing to build its abortion business by increasing the number of facilities administering deadly abortion pills,” said Rita Diller, national director of ALL’s Stop Planned Parenthood project (STOPP).
“The abortion pill regimen, appearing under names such as mifepristone (RU-486) and methotrexate, is being pushed by Planned Parenthood in order to increase its abortion business,” Diller said. “Since Planned Parenthood charges about the same amount for medical abortion as surgical abortion, it stands to dramatically increase its profits from abortion by hawking the pills. With an abortion pill, there is no need for a surgeon, surgical staff, a surgical suite and all the expenses those services entail.”
Even though the abortion pill experience is painful, protracted and often traumatic for the women who use it, as evidenced by Angie Jackson and a copycat inspired by her, Planned Parenthood continues to sell the pills to unsuspecting women. They take the first pill in the office, and then are sent home with the second pill and left on their own to deal with profuse bleeding and persistent pain.
ALL’s report documents Planned Parenthood declining in all other areas examined.
In November 2009, Planned Parenthood had 96 affiliates, down three from the previous year. The 2009 number reflects a 47-percent decline from 1987, when it boasted 181 affiliates. Planned Parenthood affiliates are self-governing corporations that operate local Planned Parenthood facilities under certification from Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s national office.
The 2009 report shows Planned Parenthood operating one less surgical abortion facility than it did in 2008. Its non-express and express chemical abortion facilities, which distribute birth control products that, at least some of the time, can result in chemical abortions, both declined: There were 16 fewer non-express facilities and 11 fewer express chemical abortion facilities.
As of Nov. 30, 2009, Planned Parenthood was operating 817 facilities in the U.S., 27 fewer than at the end of 2008 and down 13 percent from the all-time high of 938 facilities in 1995.
“Planned Parenthood’s flight from numerous communities and neighborhoods means that parents and grandparents can rest more peacefully in the knowledge that Planned Parenthood is no longer lurking around the next corner, waiting for the opportunity to kill innocent preborn babies, and sexualize and steal the souls of children and teens who most need our protection,” Diller said. “The closing of these facilities is a testament to the fact that when local people actively oppose Planned Parenthood, community support erodes, and when community support erodes, Planned Parenthood facilities shut down.”

Planned Parenthood wouldn't be in business if people weren't supporting it and it's services. These pills wouldn't sell if people weren't ordering them too. We need to church our people better, bring Christ back in people's homes, bring back the fear of God in people, more love and increase in faith, it is then when we will destroy this enemy. Even if we have reached one person at a time, that is better than none.

Although the numbers of facilities are declining we would be fools to think we are winning and these people are not lurking around the next corner waiting for opportunities to kill unborn babies. PP is not in business to supply jobs to doctors and staff; they are in business to abort babies. It’s like warfare; they are reducing the conventional war machine by cutting the number of tanks and soldiers and then switching over to the use of chemical warfare. Hitler did it and by now we should all know the link between Hitler and Planned Parenthood, yes you got it-Margret Sanger and Eugenics. Do an internet search if you don’t know this yet.

Yesterday I heard on the radio a report from Illilnois, I think it was, that in the last few years that state has shut down 100 schools and plans to close 45 more due to lack of attendance. Where have all the children? We know, don't we.

EVERY MOMENT, probably, some Planned Patienthood lackey is skulking about promoting the wonders of "The Plan". That is enough to launch us on an eternal campaign offering "Cures for The Plan", "Relieve the Pain of The Plan", etc.-" guaranteed or your bondage RETURNED in full!"
