Planned Parenthood Naples began aborting today
This morning dawned with security guards and deathscorts ready and willing to usher mother in to the Naples, FL, Planned Parenthood to abort their babies….
Today was the 1st in 13 years that abortions were made available in conservative Collier County, courtesy of PP. An NBC-2.com article entitled, “Heavy security for abortion clinic opening,” reported that FBI and Justice Dept. officials would also be on hand to ensure safe killing of preborn babies….
I can’t say as I mind all the drama. All the extra hired help eats into profits. It also brings attention. Eric Scheidler of Pro-Life Action League flew in last night to help with press inquiries. He reported on Facebook having conducted interviews with WINK TV, Naples Daily News, local ABC TV, the Associated Press, and Fox News.
Reported the AP:
The last private doctor who performed abortions stopped in 1996 when opponents of the procedure demonstrated outside of his practice and home.
“It became clear that no private provider was going to provide services in the county,” said Char Wendel, president and CEO of PP of Collier County. “We wanted to provide the full range of reproductive and sexual health care services.”
The clinic, which has provided reproductive health services in Collier since 1975, will perform abortions one day a week. Monday’s schedule for abortions was full, she said, “reflecting the need in the community.”
It has been a dreary day for the Sunshine State.

PP will probably be shipping in the clients. I guess all those Catholic young folks at Ave Maria Univ. will have something to focus their energies on!
Need for abortions? No, the need is for moral and spiritual support for scared women facing these crisis pregnancies. They NEED Love and Support. They DON’T NEED ABORTIONS.
Lia,
I agree with you, but I like phrasing it a bit differently.
Women need help with crisis pregnancies, they don’t
need a hit man!
What a professional looking place to kill one’s child!
“The clinic, which has provided reproductive health services in Collier since 1975, will perform abortions one day a week. Monday’s schedule for abortions was full, she said, “reflecting the need in the community.”
“NEED”. Whatever it takes to sleep at night, PP.
What a tragedy for this lovely community. I agree with lwestin – the students at Ave Maria University have their work cut out for them. Pray, pray, pray, and help these women who think they “need” abortion.
can’t help but see how more and more the abortuaries reflect Nazi Germany.
greyshirts, government lackeys, armed and ready to protect the death camps.
pathetic and sad.
Astute observation, angel. All they need now are the razor-wire fences and surrounding brick walls, and there you go…Nazi Death Camp.God help us.
God be with the humble men & women who stood as witnesses against the human sacrifice. How good of the Lord to provide a light in the darkness.
Here is a portion of an e-mail letter with an update about the Naples activities today. Sent from Eric at PLAL to subscribers –
. . . I’m writing you again from the airport, after a somber but blessed
day at the Planned Parenthood in Naples, Florida, where abortions
began today.
How can I call such a dark day “blessed”? Because the pro-lifers of
Naples rose to the challenge, lining the streets outside Planned
Parenthood with a strong, continuous prayer presence.
What’s more, it looked like only 2 of the scheduled 11 abortions
took place. Several women drove into the lot, stopped a while, and
drove away again.
That’s how powerful and effective our pro-life presence can be . . .
Can you spell A-U-S-C-H-W-I-T-C-H?
In both state and federal courts, Planned Parenthood today launched calculated and cunning attacks on the abortion restrictioon laws recently approved and set for law next month.
Is Planned Parenthood allowed to use Federal Tax dollars originally earmarked to provide “women reproductive care” to launch these lawsuits?
One needs to find out how they comingle funds, how they pay their lawyers and who their CPAs are. It seems to me that they definitely should not be able to use any Federal tax dollars targeted for “health care” for these lawsuits.
If I have to pay taxes and my taxes are used to fight against something I support, i.e., pro-life issues, it seems that the use of those funds would violate my constitutional rights in that I am attacking myself, therby, affecting my constitutional right to happiness.
At a minimum I want to know who the law firms and CPA firms that are employed by Planned Parnethood so I can spread the word to the entire pro-life communiity not to use their services.
I would go after PP, their lawyers and their CPAs. They are all killing innocent children and I want to boycott them.
Send your donations to the Center for Arizona Policy: http://www.azpolicy.org who is fighting all of these lawsuits. This is critical in the overall pro-life battle.
Maybe Jill would do a post on the French couple who murdered their children and left an allegedly stillborn child to rot on the balcony.
Couple jailed for poison pasta child murders
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/862185/couple-jailed-for-poison-pasta-child-murders
OK class…..can you spell A-U-S-C-H-W-I-T-Z?
As in death camps. As in execution by poison gas. As in pure evil? As in death to an unborn infant by mutilation, dismemberment, ripping apart, poisoning, suction, and every other freaking sick way one sicko doctor can think of.
If I were a member of a city police force I would refuse to protect a death camp abortatorium in Naples, FL or anywhere else on earth. I’d rather lose everything. And policeman who participate in protecting your local death station are cowards.
I mean aren’t they supposed to “Protect and Serve”.
Oh I get it, unborn, defenseless, innocent children are not worthy of protection by young, strong, healthy police officers. How sick and twisted is that? Our country has gone absolutely mad. You police have no excuse to the One Ultimate Authority from which your power comes and who you will answer and give account to. Refuse to protect death camp Planned Parenthood facilities now.
How can I call such a dark day “blessed”? Because the pro-lifers of
Naples rose to the challenge, lining the streets outside Planned
Parenthood with a strong, continuous prayer presence.
What’s more, it looked like only 2 of the scheduled 11 abortions

This is very encouraging. They won’t be in business very long doing 2 abortions per week.
Tha spiritual warfare aspect of the fight is huge. The old cartoons with an angel on one shoulder and a demon on the other shoulder trying to persuade the person to choose righteousness or evil is not a bad depiction of what’s going on in the unseen realm.
Keep fighting down there PL’ers! Keep praying! Keep believing! Make sure they know you are determined; you’re not going anywhere; you’re in it for the long haul. Now is when they’re the most vulnerable, before the business gets established.
God Bless!
I heard that Congress passed a resolution to stop funding ACORN because of the undercover video scandal. I am wondering why they haven’t done the same for PP based on the Lila Rose videos. What hypocrites.
Kristen,
Absolutely! Acorn was called a criminal enterprise.
What else can you call Planned Parenthood? Covering
up statutory rape, taking money to kill black babies?
PP=Ongoing criminal enterprise!
Full range of reproductive services my ass.
Here’s what planned parenthood tells you when you actually want to keep your baby. “We only do abortions…do you want an abortion?”
Last time I checked, prenatal care most certainly falls under the umbrella of “reproductive service.”
Call it like it is. You perform abortions. That’s the exact opposite of a reproductive service, since it stops people from, you know, reproducing.
“jsable, some come back later or go to another clinic. I did when I had my abortion. I didn’t need people getting in my face when it was none of their business.

I’m sorry you felt the need to have your baby killed and thrown away like garbage. It wasn’t necessary. It’s never necessary. What a waste.
Lauren, would a PP ever help a woman become pregnant if she wanted to and couldn’t? I think that’s the best indicator of their misnomer.
My first thought when I read this article (beyond my customary sadness when I hear of more abortions being done, etc.) was that I wish it were time for my newest child to be born already because it just makes me want to give him an extra kiss and cuddle. I wish that the mothers of these poor babies who are scheduled to die would do the same, instead of aborting (or at least find someone else to love the child as their own). It’s so sad.
Yes, because spiting other people is a great reason to kill an innocent third party.
Someone would have helped you Autumn. There are many couples who can’t have a baby that would have adopted yours in an instant.
Autumn, that’s a beautiful name — and my favorite season! Is it a pseudonym or is it your real name?
I’m sorry for whatever your circumstances were. An unexpected pregnancy can be really tough — believe me, I know that from personal experience!
“It’s people like you that reaffirm my decision.”
Sounds like spite to me. And at least you didn’t deny you killed an innocent third party.
I’m aware of a lot of people in a lot of different circumstances, some worse than anything I could’ve imagined, and none of whom ever HAD to kill their children over it. Don’t bother trying to justify yourself to me by divulging your circumstances, because as much as they’re not my business, little short of saving your own life would be sufficient justification to take another-especially that of your own child.
Women like this are why I feel that a woman who obtains an abortion illegally after RVW was overturned would be completely culpable in the crime and deserve her fair share of jail time.
“And policeman who participate in protecting your local death station are cowards.”
No, they’re putting their lives on the line as their duty requires. If they don’t want to be there, maybe their cowards, but I expect they’re proud of their efforts in supporting the constitutional reproductive rights of women.
Autumn,
If the circumstances surrounding your abortion are no one’s business, then in the future you should refrain from announcing that you had an abortion on a pro-life site. It seems a bit passive agressive to share knowingly provocative information and then act huffy when someone responds to the information you provided.
“But, if those conscience clauses are legit, then I should be able to refrain from any duties in my job that require me to assist the war in Iraq. Good luck with that, eh?”

Is that really a possibility for you?
Xalisae – When I recently went to a local PP for a well-woman exam and the nurse practioner asked if I wanted any birth control today, I explained that no, I didn’t as while we’re not actively trying, my husband and I are open to the possibility of becoming pregnant. I did ask if there was any medications she can give to help with my PCOS and she only offered and even
…and even pushed birth control after I told her explicitly that I didn’t want to be on the Pill, she didn’t even offer a referral to an endocrineologist or infertility specialist. I gave up and took a Rx for a birth control pill, which I didn’t plan on fililing, politely thanked her, and left.
Autumn (what a pretty name BTW!) I’m not going to be arragant and pretend to know your situation or pretend things would of turned out perfectly had you had the baby, there are hardships, however I just want you to know there are always places you can turn to in hardship that can help you without judging you.
The clauses should also include not being forced into participating in euthanasia
The places I’m referring to are called Crisis Pregnancy Centers or Pregnancy Resource Centers and there are many other resources as well as you’ll find at my blog under Unplanned Pregnancy Resources. Now you may have heard some pretty nasty things about PRCs from pro-choice groups, but the reality is that they provide a wide range of services
for women who are considering or decided to carry an unplanned pregnancy to term, from pregnancy, parenting, and life skills classes to referrals for medical care, assistance with maternity clothes and baby items, and they won’t judge and even offer post-abortion counseling if you ever begin to have feelings of sadness or loss.
or grief after your abortion, no matter how long it’s been and it’s not about guilt-tripping or making women repent, but helping women heal and come to terms with their feelings in healthy ways. And if you find you need closure but religious-based programs aren’t for you, there are a broad range of programs and approaches out there, pro-choice and pro-life, which a comprehensive list can be found at my blog under post-abortion resources. I wish you the best, I really do.
“I don’t care what the cause is, police have the duty to serve and protect all the people who are conducting LEGAL business, whether they like it or not. Public servants don’t get to make that call; otherwise, they should also be able to strike if they so desire–but most are prevented from doing so because they are public servants.”
Does that mean we can actually have a vote on it now instead of having to submit ourselves to law we never wanted at the behest of a liberal court to which we had little if any say in who was actually appointed? Please? I mean, I’d rather we all made the call instead of having the call made for us and then having to just choke it down and be good little sheep. If it was put to a popular vote, I might be more inclined to take your advice and suck it up and deal with it.
And what exactly do you do which puts you in a position to help with the war against your wishes?
“rich women will still be able to fly overseas for their abortions.”
Hooray for them. They can find loopholes in a law that prevents harm to another human. Many rich people can and do on a regular basis. That doesn’t make it right.
“Many of those with lesser economic means will either self-abort or end up dead when the local plumber performs the abortion.”
You act like a medical abortion is something that just happens naturally to women who would rather not be pregnant. That’s simply not so. A pregnancy ends in a birth, sir. I know you don’t have a uterus, so it’s hard for you to understand, but trust me, as I’ve been through the process twice, and once under the most extreme of bad circumstances (poor, lost my job, had to leave the place I was staying as a consequence), and being pregnant at an inopportune moment didn’t compel me to call up the local handyman and have him probe around my lady parts.
_______________________________________________
Media outlets including CNN, Time magazine, and the Los Angeles Times are reporting that “over 1 million” women in Brazil illegally terminate their pregnancies every year. (Abortion is illegal there, except under rare circumstances.) However, this figure appears to originate from a group called Ipas, an organization dedicated to “advancing women’s reproductive rights.” It openly endorses legalized abortion.
And besides the dubious nature of the source, history tells us that this “1 million” number should be looked upon very suspiciously.
Before abortion was made legal in Mexico City a couple of years ago, abortion proponents trumpeted the claim that there were already “up to 1 million women” who procured illegal abortions in Mexico every year. Several mainstream media outlets, including the Los Angeles Times, proudly parroted that number. However, after abortion was made legal in Mexico City, it could be demonstrated that the “1 million” figure had been grossly exaggerated and was flat-out false. In fact, a reporter for the Times who had echoed the bogus statistic later had to admit that the “1-million figure appears too high.”
There is also the infamous episode from here in the United States. In the years before Roe v. Wade, abortion proponents constantly trumpeted that there were “1 million” illegal abortions in the U.S. These proponents knew this was a bald-faced lie. (Ex-abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson: “We aroused enough sympathy to sell our program of permissive abortion by fabricating the number of illegal abortions done annually in the U.S. The actual figure was approaching 100,000 but the figure we gave to the media repeatedly was 1,000,000. Repeating the big lie often enough convinces the public.”) – Newsbusters
_________________________________________________
I think that 100,000 a year would be within the realm of a non-diagnosed form of depression or some other mental illness which would or could inspire a pregnant woman to harm herself just to get through to her child in order to kill it. I mean…that certainly sounds criminally insane to me…
They don’t have to be happy, good little mommies. As I’ve stated numerous times before, I’ve known quite a few people who avoided the incinerator and became happy, well-adjusted, successful adults who either had a crappy home life with a bad little mommy, or were adopted to happy families with another lady who gladly became their happy little mommy and made it so they didn’t have to die! Isn’t that great? Oh, but thanks for condescending to me and treating me as though a woman who doesn’t kill her child and becomes a mother is somehow this diminutive twit who submits herself to the whims of others, you sexist pig.
Rachael = Yeah, I figured as much.
Hi Xalisae. I think I hear what you are saying.
I think I heard that it was Mother Theresa who said something like “it is the ultimate form of depravity, poverty and selfishness to believe that an innocent preborn human baby has to die for you to live your life as you wish.” Abortion has made our society involved in a schizoprenic mindset, you are only to love, nurture, protect and call a “baby” the babies in your womb that you want to keep, the ones that you don’t want, are too inconvenient, you are too “poor” to have or are “imperfect” you get to call a “product of conception” and “a fetus”, those can be thrown into a dumpster as medical waste. Talk about twisted logic.
Shame on you all for being so condemning and judgemental towards Autumn as a post-abortive woman (would you have treated Carla or any other woman in SNM like that?) Remember, it is not our place to judge the actions or hearts of others, only God can. And remember, Norma McCorvey’s heart was won with love and kindness, not condemnation.
And to love the child doesn’t mean we should abandon or condemn the woman in dispair, we can love the woman and child and sometimes we must reach the heart of the women to save her child.
And what’s with comments dissapearing? Whatever happened to differing viewpoints and open discussions here? And shouldn’t we be reaching out to post-abortion women like Autumn instead of deleting their comments and banning them?
Sorry if I find it hard to muster the required compassion for someone so audacious.
I say what I mean, and how I mean it. I expect that other people I talk to do the same. When they say “I don’t regret my abortion”, expect me to treat them like they had an abortion and don’t regret it (some even say they are happy/relieved about it).
But we don’t know their heart or if they’re hurting underneath the bravado or hard exterior. Also, just because they say they don’t regret their abortion or appear to have a hard exterior doesn’t mean they’re out of reach or that we shouldn’t try. Again, Norma McCorvey and other hard-hearted abortion providers who have converted and had a change or heart come to mind.
I just can’t look past the reality of abortion, what it is, and what it does. The woman is hurting. The situation is hard for some women sometimes. So what? THE BABY IS LOSING HIS/HER LIFE!
It’s the same if a convict is in a tight spot, knocks over a liquor store, and feels that they have to shoot the owner to get the money to make their life easier. They might try and act hard and tough, like a real criminal on the outside, and be hurting about not feeling able to provide for their family which drove them to it-but it doesn’t change what happened and what that person actually did, and it’s small consolation to the other party involved, is it not?
So what? If we can’t reach the heart of the mother, we won’t be able to save the baby, she won’t see a reason to carry to term. Just as we can’t force the criminal to stop commiting crime by only condemning and locking him up in jail if he doesn’t understand why what he is doing is wrong, the consequences of course, and there are alternatives to crime if we don’t try to educate him or change his heart.
The same for the abortion-minded or post-abortion woman, condemning her locking her up isn’t going to change a thing if she doesn’t understand why what she is/did is wrong, there are consequences, and there are alternatives, she will still have the abortion(i.e. kill the baby)/not regret past abortion(s) and all it will have resulted in is a dead child and a woman further alienated from and distrusting of us. *Steping off soap box now*
There have been several posters that have been banned and are trying to stir it up here, so to speak. They are being deleted by the mods.
But you can’t just abolish laws because you feel they’re not serving a purpose. The vast majority of women when asked said that if abortion were illegal, they simply wouldn’t get one. Laws DO serve a purpose, and I’d prosecute as many women as it took to save one life. At least the women wouldn’t be getting a death sentence. People know right from wrong, deep down, and I’m sick of giving people the benefit of the doubt. It hasn’t worked thus far, and I don’t think it will work.
Ok, nowhere in my posts did I say anything about abolishing laws…but read into it what you want. For the sake of my point and in general crime, I was making those suggestions in addition to punishment, although I don’t think brining back laws which punish women will be beneficial. While we agree in other areas, I think we’re just going to have to agree to disagree here.
