Planned Parenthood severs FL affiliate
In March, I reported (here and here) that the Planned Parenthood anti-mothership had closed five mills belonging to its PP of South Palm Beach and Broward Counties affiliate to make “necessary service upgrades,” according to a PP prepared statement.
According to the Miami Herald, the necessary service upgrades involved trying to find $450k, which it did not. So, it has severed this limb, as reported July 1:
Planned Parenthood officially severed its ties Monday from five local clinics… whose top administrator has acknowledged a history of “terrible mismanagement and possibly fraud.”
The disaffiliation allowed the national organization to wash its hands of the local chapter….
The chapter is dealing with many problems, including harassment complaints and possible misuse of nearly $450,000 – slightly less than they received in public funding in 2005.
”All these issues are now issues that they will have to face without us,” said Karen Ruffato, vice president of operations for the PP Federation of America….
Apparently PP anticipates legal problems down the road.
Not that any of this means permanent closures. It means dueling abortion mills:
Ruth Lynch, the former Broward chapter’s CEO… said the chapter’s board of trustees plans to eventually open and continue medical services at the five clinics – in Oakland Park, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton – but without the trusted name of PP….
Ruffato said they entrusted the more reputable PP of Greater Miami, Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast to open one clinic in Broward and one in Boca Raton…. Officers plan to select one site by next month.
An interesting PP factoid, from the Sun-Sentinel:
It’s only the second time in 90 years that a chapter has been expelled; the first was 10 years ago in Hawaii.

Sorry, Yo La T.
Dragging in the Church’s old laundry has no place in this discussion.
PP dropped the PP of S. Fl like a hot rock. Why do you think that is? One can only speculate but I can assure you the church had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with that.
Capiche?
Hey, if we complain about substandard abortion clinics, then we shouldn’t complain about PP trying to impose some standards. And this has happened only twice in ninety years? Doesn’t seem like big news.
But they are not imposing standards; they are just dumping their affiliates and running as quickly as they can from scandal.
Sorry, Yo La T.

Apparently you deleted a post. What is served by posting a response without context?
Does a mother eat it’s own?
William Harrison:
Lest your sin find you out, and you are found weeping at the foot of the cross realizing what wrethchedness you have wrought, hencewith, the canceling of God’s own intents; one score times one thousand calling evil good and good evil, thereby, sitting in the place of the Most High God, hearest this and weep……with all thine mind, thine heart, and thine soul pleading that you not suffer the holy indignation; the works of thine hands and, be found begging for your loved ones’ warning of such eternal trap as thine own mind and heart and hands and pride have fashioned……by the “self-named cancelling” each least of these Lazarus-Jesus-Innocents crying out from under the altar of God’s mercy seat….waiting for the shedding of their innocent blood that has polluted the land to be justified.
For this is what our Lord has spoken against you:
Abortion is an affront to the creative nature of God, it negates God as Creator,
Abortion denies the power of God to right a wrong, it negates God as Redeemer,
Abortion makes that which is good, the birth of human life, into that which is evil, the death of human life, and then calls it good, the very definition of blasphemy,
Abortion negates the resurrection power of God as it takes flesh that is alive in it’s earthly abode (the womb) and kills it, while God takes that flesh which is dead in it’s earthly abode (the grave) and desires to make it alive,
Abortion’s desire is to take that which was composed from the chaotic array of elemental molecules into a symphony of life infused with an eternal soul, and turn it back to the entropy of randomness, chaos, nothingness, uselessness.
Abortion is against all that is hopeful, all that requires faith for success; for it’s solution; annihilation, it’s goal; death, it’s dream; breaking God’s heart, it’s vision, Satan’s ultimate power.
Abortion is a counterfeit, for the clawprints of Satan are everywhere to be found in its performance;
Abortion disguises hate as love, bondage as freedom, choice as maturity, sin as righteousness, political correctness as wisdom,
Abortion pits men against women, mothers against their children, fathers against God, Yes, abortion is Satan’s feeble attempt at killing God Himself, for abortion is a metaphor for Satan; it is his coat of arms, his family crest, his logo, his brand, it belongs to him……for he laughs at its willing proponents as they craft their own self-destruction, mantled in self-deception.
Will you be found naked and alone in the tortured sea of your own arrogance?

HisMan,
How beautifully profound is your analysis!
Might I post it with attribution on my blog?
Carder:
Finally have some moderation at this place. Way to go!
Reasoned discussion and argument ok, diatribes or off topic, no!

……………………………………………..
A simple notation that a post has been deleted and why would be sufficient. IE: Obscene, off topic………….
Adding comment to an unreadable post is confusing and dishonest. They read like this:
Jill, your post has been deleted. There is no connection between your ingrown toenails and Planned Parenthood.
Jasper, your post has been deleted. Tofu is not a communist plot to remove flavor from your dinner.
I don’t know about anyone else but those dangling pronouncements carder seems to be making, leave me wondering what on earth was posted to begin with and what purpose she is serving in having the last word to an invisible poster.
Hey! It’s your blog. Hack it up any way you see fit!
Saly: 11:12: Jasper, your post has been deleted. Tofu is not a communist plot to remove flavor from your dinner.
Hmmm…Are you sure???…. (just kidding, Sally!)
Ok, Sally, you’re curious.
Yo la T. was the first to post on this thread. It made reference to how the RCC’s scandal is comparable with the top administrator acknowledging a history of “terrible mismanagement and possibly fraud.”
And thus my moderation.
Happy?
Good for you carder. I’m guilty myself of taking things off-topic, and wouldn’t mind being re-directed to the topic at hand.

I hear you, but we still get stuff like:
Satan lives through the likes of SoMG
Oh brother….
Les:
Yes you can post it, however, I believe God gave me these words against abortion and I would like them to stay attached to HisMan.

I’ve only try to cook with it once. I wasn’t impressed with my efforts. Vegan I am not. I’m better at cooking what I know.
Sally,
I know you like geneology. (I hope you see this message since it’s rolled over.) I went to a class yesterday on restoring old photos using a scanner and Photoshop. There’s another next Saturday. Very interesting! If you are in the Chicago area I can let you know the location. Just email one of the mods. to contact me and I’ll get you the info.
seriously, I prefer the point rather than maplestory power leveling
