New York Times: IRS investigates abortion biz formerly known as Planned Parenthood Golden Gate
It’s a tragic day for Planned Parenthood Golden Gate.
Not only did Mama Planned Parenthood finally follow through with her threat to abort the bothersome affiliate, but the IRS came calling. Reported the New York Times:
The criminal division of the IRS is looking into the finances of PPGG, while the organization has brought in forensic accountants to evaluate its books.
The local nonprofit became Golden Gate Community Health on Friday, as the national PP organization stripped the Bay Area clinics of their affiliation, citing financial and administrative problems….
It will continue to operate its 7 clinics in five Bay Area counties. Neighboring PP affiliates are scrambling to open new clinics in the same counties.
Agents for the criminal division of the I.R.S. interviewed a former employee of Planned Parenthood Golden Gate on Tuesday at the Oakland field office, in response to a complaint he had lodged.
That informant, who declined to be named for fear of how it might affect his future job prospects, said he raised concerns about the financial relationship between the organization and its political arm, as well as about accounting practices….
The nonprofit will no longer run its one satellite health center, which had been offering limited services 2 days a week at Good Samaritan Family Resource Center in San Francisco….
Next Wednesday, PP Shasta-Diablo… will begin operating a satellite health center at that location 2 days a week….
PP Mar Monte hopes to open 2 full-service clinics within the next year in its 2 new counties, San Mateo and Alameda….
[HT: Family Research Council, which also asked in an email update: “Meanwhile… PP Federation of America still has not published the annual report from July, 2008-July, 2009. The report, which includes information such as the number of abortions that were performed during that time and the dollar amount received in government funding, is typically made public every April. Interestingly, this report will be the first summary of how the group has fared during the Obama Administration. What might they be hiding?”]

That sounds vaguely familiar. I am sure I read something about that very thing on Jill’s site.
Oh, silly me. I remember now. I wrote it. I raised the same concerns.
Now if the IRS was really serious they would stay on the scent and track the stench of the corruption back to the source, liberal democRATs.
But the folks at the IRS know it is not wise to bite the paws of the rats that also funds them.
Any one else tiring of Ken’s constant reference to Democrats as “RATS?” If was funny maybe the first 1000 times or so.
As I like to say, Republicans and Democrats are two wings of the same bird that’s poopin’ on all of us, ;>) ! I love the democractic process and I love the constitution but admit I do not have warm fuzzy feelings for most politicians. Didn’t Jiminy Glick say “Politics is show business for ugly people”? Good Lord, did I just quote Jiminy Glick??!
Remember, it was the IRS that brought down Al Capone.
Good point Christina.
And didn’t Tom Cruise (The Firm) bring down that murderous, Mafia-infested law firm for over-billing — mail fraud? (A federal offense). Yes I do realize it was a movie and not real life. But such tactics could very well blow the lid off the whole PP operation in the end and allow a glimpse into the hell-hole beneath it.
Hmmm. that question “what are they hiding?” Maybe the amount they poured into the last months of the Obama presidential campaign?
The long arm of the law snares Planned Parenthood–the times they are a changing!
ninek: I have never seen a greater divide between the dems and the repubs. A lot of people say there is no difference between the two parties but most of the time there is actually a huge difference. Of course the MSM is too busy giving deferential treatment to Obama and his minions to bother reporting on things objectively, hence the reason for some of the confusion.
this just in…35 dead babies found in a freezer at an abortuary in Maryland.

or
b. ’b o’ to refer to Barrak Obama

c. ‘homosexual’ to refer to humans who demonstrate a tendancy to direct sexual desire to individuals of his/her own sex/gender.
