Planned Parenthood exec crashes press conference
Yesterday afternoon the Alliance Defense Fund and CO citizen Mark Hotaling held a press conference at the State Capitol to announce an $18 million lawsuit against Gov. Bill Ritter, Planned Parenthood, Boulder Valley Women’s Health Center, and the CO Dept. of Health and Environment for illegal taxpayer funding of abortion.
The lawsuit came within days after plaintiffs learned the state had given $9 million to the 2 aforementioned abortion groups presumably for breast cancer screening, despite the fact the CO Constitution states no public funds can be used “directly or indirectly” for abortion.
According to the press release, as recently as 2001 PP and BVWHC were stripped of over $1 million in taxpayer funding “after an independent audit found and PP recently admitted that it’s impossible to separate their abortion activities from their taxpayer subsidies.”
But a surprise guest crashed the conference. When Leslie Durgan, Senior VP of PP of the Rocky Mountains and former mayor of Boulder, walked in, journalists recognized her and asked for comment. The cheeky child killer proceeded to take over the podium when the ADF attorney had finished his presentation. Her talking points fit nicely into the Rocky Mountain News article about the event.
The state contends the funds allocated were federal, so it’s not violating the Constitution. Durgan disputed the amount listed in the contracts altogether.

The arrogance of Planned Parenthood shown here once again! They really believe that they are above the law, that abortion rights trump all other considerations.
As example of this arrogance was never more evident then when they appeared before federal judge Charles Norgle in Chicago late last summer (2007). They were contesting the city’s decision to delay the occupancy of their new facility in Aurora, IL during an investigation of how it was that Planned Parenthood was able to conceal it’s true identity while the building was being constructed.
True to form Planned Parenthood huffed and puffed that the federal law guarenteeing the right to abortion superceeded all other laws and therefore rendered the city’s local control over occupancy and code issues mute. The judge ruled the city was within the law in delaying the opening during the investigation, but that is one of the few times that PP has been told to go packing. Hopefully they will have their wings clipped in CO and everywhere else.
was she tipped off by someone in the media to show up to this?
The kill unborn babies, let’s never forget that.
They are people without consciences.
This is a little off track but on Hannity and Colmes tonite, Sean Hannity showed a book written by Obama friend Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohr, called Prairie Fire. He apparently had a lot of trouble obtaining this book.
For those who may have forgotten, Obama launched his political career in the living room of the Ayers’, people he only waved to when he took out his garbage.
One of the people the book is dedicated to is Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of Democrat icon Robert Kennedy.
I wonder if this will cause a little discomfort with the Democrat Party and Democrats in general, not to mention the Kennedy family, who have been big supporters of Obama.
should we expect anything less from the devil’s advocate?
Dedicated to the assassin that killed Robert Kennedy 40 years ago? That’s very disturbing.
I doubt that anybody will care that Obama’s friend dedicated a book to the guy who murdered Bobby Kennedy. The media will bury it as a non-story. Now, if he was Sarah Palin’s friend, it would be front page news.
Yawn….
how conveniently you all forget that Sarah Palin who stands behind a podium that says Country First is still SLEEPING WITH a guy who until quite recently was a card-carrying member of an organization that wants to secede from that same country.

Do you mean the “guy” who is her husband? Also, please list the acts of terror and killing committed by the Alaska Independence Party. While you’re at it visit their website. Then you might actually know what you’re talking about.
LOL, sounds like quite the embarrassing day for Mr. Hotaling and Ms. Burton.
It’s cheeky and arrogant to show up at a press conference where your organization is being dissed? Actually, I’d say it is forward-thinking PR.
phylo,

I saw this on Hannity as well. This is verrrry spoooky. Seriously. Rush Limbaugh is talking about it right now.
The Alaska Independence Party does not “Love the United States.” They want no part of it. Fine. Don’t pretent to be patriotic, however, if that is your view.
That convinces me. I am NOT going to vote for Bill Ayers.

Have you checked the AIP website? Also, have they planted bombs at a judge’s home, the pentagon, and police stations? Did they plan a nail bomb attack on soldiers at a military base dance? Did any of them wipe their feet on the American flag?
That’s what the buddy of your guy Obama did.
Mary, I’m convinced. Bill Ayers does not have my support.

‘That convinces me. I am NOT going to vote for Bill Ayers.’

Too masculine for you? Too caucasian for you? Too american for you? Too conservative for you? Too patriotic for you? Can’t stutter and say uuuuuhhhh enough for you?

Shhh…. it’s a secret! Palin plans to take over Congress on February 14, 2009 and declare independence for Alaska as a Valentine’s Day present for her husband who will subsequently be crowned King of Alaska.
Jaaaaanet! 1:32PM
Its supposed to be a secret!!
Hal,
Ayers isn’t running. His very good buddy Obama is.
Oh, Obama. I’ve heard of him. He sounds AMAZING. He’s got my vote.
Mary,
my… lips… are…sealed…shhhhhhh.
