At least once or twice weekly Nancy Keenan of NARAL had been sending a steady stream of "Keep anti-choice extremism out of health-care reform"-type e-mails, as was her July 28 message entitled - until Aug. 3. Nancy has now gone silent for over 2 weeks.
Same goes for Cecile Richards of Planned Parenthood, who likewise was transmitting "Anti-choice groups step up attacks on women's health"-type emails, as was the title of her July 22 dispatch - until July 24. Cecile hasn't been heard from in over 3 weeks.
On Aug. 11, President Obama unveiled his Reality Check website with nary a word about the biggest obstacle to passing health care, abortion.
Coincidental clam-ups?
No.
In her last e-mail, Cecile wrote, "[T]ell Congress that women's reproductive health care MUST be part of health-care reform."
Nancy in hers wrote, "Ask your lawmakers to oppose anti-choice attacks on health-care legislation."
Clearly, both felt their unnamed treasure trove, abortion, was in imminent danger of being aborted from health care.
Then ... silence?
The other side does nothing without a plan. The plan is to stop talking about abortion 1) in hopes the controversy will die down, and 2) to regroup and reframe the argument.
But make no mistake: Abortion is still part of the liberal plan. On Aug. 12, Cecile tweeted...

Could it be that PP has already achieved an important part of its plan and hopes it won't get much attention? School-based clinics give them room for growth even if they lose the fight to get abortions covered under public and private plans.

School-based clinics are addressed on p366 of the senate bill and p993 of house bill HR3200.
Posted by: Fed Up at August 19, 2009 6:32 AMTruth be told, PP would rather that the word "abortion" never be spoken in public. They are much more successful behind closed doors than in public. What they are trying to sell is so repugnant, so odious that they know it requires a plain brown wrapping to slip it to "consumers".
Which is why you very rarely see proaborts discuss abortion in public.
Posted by: Doyle Chadwick at August 19, 2009 7:04 AMAm I the only one here dismayed and upset that a special interest group seems to be getting directives and instructions from the White House helping them and attempting to make their agenda more palatable to the American Public?
Posted by: xalisae at August 19, 2009 7:30 AMXalisae...I think we already knew that would happen when Pres. Abortion came into office...and would not be a surprise.
What I'm really still shocked about is the continuing and blatant LIES coiming out of Washington...
Transaprency in government? What "transaprency"?

Posted by: Pamela at August 19, 2009 10:13 AMI saw on our local news last night (from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) that a law was struck down as 'unconstitutional' that would have REQUIRED that women be allowed to view an ultrasound of their unborn baby before an abortion. 'Unconstitutional'? I've never understood why 'Endowed by their Creator with certain INALIENABLE rights. Among these are LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' is considered 'unconstitutional'...it's PART of the Constitution! I guess 'the pursuit of happiness' trumps LIFE when your 'happiness' doesn't include a child. The judge was a woman, BTW. SAD. :(
Posted by: Pamela at August 19, 2009 10:23 AMThat really bites. Now the women who have been told lies won't learn the truth, that their child is not a piece of tissue or a blood clot. :(
Posted by: LizFromNebraska at August 19, 2009 10:37 AMThanks Fed Up for sharing your post of where the school-based clinics are found in the healthcare bill. Hey Jill, can you guys do an article with an expose of the different parts of the bill that will promote PP's agenda and abortion (secret code words women's reproductive healthcare). So many people need to know this because the pro-aborts and the White House keeps saying this is all about getting people much needed healthcare.

You can spell or mispell it anyway you desire.
The pbho and his leftist liberal humanist cohorts will never demonstrate they know how to do it.
