Planned Parenthood Aurora’s hot pink barbed wire
Planned Parenthood Federation CEO Cecile Richards sent out an email alert late yesterday afternoon retreading soundbites from previous emails and asking again to donations for Aurora PP’s hot pink ribbon campaign:
But there were no hot pink ribbons to be seen anywhere at the mill when I attended the Jericho March protest Saturday.
I asked Jeff from ChicagoProLifeActivist about it. He said PP displayed tiny hot pink ribbons on strings for awhile that actually made it look like the mill was fortressed by hot pink barbed wire, but PP took them down.
Rats, I thought. Would have loved to see that.
Well, I just spotted photos of the pink barbed wire on Planned Parenthood Aurora’s website:
Indeed!

Don’t you love how they have chosen pink ribbons, which automatically makes you think of breast cancer, which triggers “helping women” in most of our minds?
I personally think they should have used black or gray. Not only would that better reflect what goes on in their death camp, but it would have resembled barbed wire even more and added to the atmosphere.
Great comment MK.
They are complete hypocrites. They want to manipulate people into thinking they are concerned about women. I say Equal Rights For Unborn Women! Black or gray would be a perfect fit. They can dress it up any way they want-they still can’t change what goes on in a mill.
How about blood red and black, now that would be appropriate.
Interesting choice of pink ribbons. Here in Canada pink ribbons are for support of breast cancer research. Isn’t there some link between abortion and breast cancer other than pink ribbons??
This might be slightly off topic. I am going to pray infront of a Planned Parenthood mill tomorrow morning. I have prayed infront of another mill twice, but not the Planned Parenthood one. I am slightly nervous so I could use any prayers that are sent my way.
We’ve got you covered Carrie!
You’re in my prayers, Carrie. God love you.
Gotcha, Carrie!
Hot pink. You gotta love their sense of decorum.
Carrie –
I prayed at a Planned Parenthood last Saturday. I have never done that before. I was really nervous, but felt I needed to. The PP is on a busy road so I was expecting people to be yelling at us, etc. All we got was support. Some people honked their horns – in the supportive mini honk way; not the blast of hatred – and one guy rolled down his windows and said “God bless you”. It was kinda nice.
Thanks everyone.
Yay for carrie!!
Gosh, folks, would you look at the time!!! It’s getting close to October, that “pink” time of the year when the Susan G. Komen foundation and United Way (both tight buddies of those genocidal megalomaniacs known as Planned Parenthood) will be hitting everyone up for money. DON’T GIVE THESE PEOPLE A PENNY; but do pass this on, in the public interest:
Here are some of the 28 studies linking induced abortion to breast cancer.
There was a higher rate of both spontaneous and induced abortions among breast cancer patients; increased risk ranged from 100 percent to 400 percent among the different subgroups.
Here are some statistically valid studies with huge sample sizes.
The New England Journal of Medicine:
“In this issue of the Journal, Melbye et al. present substantial epidemiologic evidence that induced abortions do not affect a woman’s risk of having breast cancer. In a linkage study, they compared the abortion histories of women with and without breast cancer in Denmark. The use of data on abortion obtained from population registries rather than from interviews, the large size of the study, the inclusion of one country’s entire population of women, and the adjustment for other aspects of reproductive history all strengthen the credibility of the findings. The study thus provides important new evidence to resolve a controversy”
And:
“Background It has been hypothesized that an interrupted pregnancy might increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer because breast cells could proliferate without the later protective effect of differentiation.
Methods We established a population-based cohort with information on parity and vital status consisting of all Danish women born from April 1, 1935, through March 31, 1978. Through linkage with the National Registry of Induced Abortions, information on the number and dates of induced abortions among those women was combined with information on the gestational age of each aborted fetus. All new cases of breast cancer were identified through linkage with the Danish Cancer Registry.
Results In the cohort of 1.5 million women (28.5 million person-years), we identified 370,715 induced abortions among 280,965 women (2.7 million person-years) and 10,246 women with breast cancer. After adjustment for known risk factors, induced abortion was not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer (relative risk, 1.00; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.94 to 1.06). No increases in risk were found in subgroups defined according to age at abortion, parity, time since abortion, or age at diagnosis of breast cancer. The relative risk of breast cancer increased with increasing gestational age of the fetus at the time of the most recent induced abortion: 12 weeks, 1.38 (1.00 to 1.90) (reference category, 9 to 10 weeks).
Conclusions Induced abortions have no overall effect on the risk of breast cancer.”
And from the Journal of the American Medical Association:
Karin B. Michels, Sc.D., Ph.D., and colleagues at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, examined the association between abortion and breast cancer in 105,716 women who were part of the Nurses’ Health Study II (NHSII). The women were between age 29 and 46 at the beginning of the study in 1993. At that time, and again every two years through 2003, they answered questions about whether and at what age they had had miscarriages or induced abortions and provided information about breast cancer risk factors and diagnoses.
A total of 16,118 participants (15 percent) reported having a history of induced abortion and 21,753 (21 percent) had a history of spontaneous abortion. Between 1993 and 2003, 1,458 new cases of breast cancer occurred among the women. “In this cohort study of young women, we found no association between induced abortion and breast cancer incidence and a suggestion of an inverse association between spontaneous abortion and breast cancer incidence during 10 years of follow-up,” the authors write.
