- Planned Parenthood is closing six clinics (none of which perform abortions) in Minnesota, supposedly due to federal budget cuts.
- Planned Parenthood of Indiana is taking a one-day furlough in the hopes of saving enough money to keep 7 clinics open until July 1. They’ve also stopped seeing Medicaid clients.
- Fernando Woody of AZ has received a 10-year sentence for killing his unborn child:
Earlier this year, Woody pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. He admitted that he kicked the mother of his child in the stomach while wearing boots. She was pregnant and the unborn child suffered a skull fracture, causing the child to die in-utero.
- A local ABC News affiliate is covering the state of Texas’ investigation into the Whole Woman’s Health abortion clinic and their improper disposal of fetal remains:
According to an initial report by the TX Commission on Environmental Quality, investigators found that fetuses from the clinic ended up at the Sunset Farms Landfill off U.S. 290 and Giles Road along with all other municipal trash.
At the time of the complaint, the clinic had a contract with a medical waste company called Stericycle. According to the TCEQ report, the company would steam disinfect the fetuses before disposing of them at the landfill.
According to state code, steam disinfection is legal treatment if followed by internment including cremation or burial. Investigators say that was not happening. Disposing treated fetuses at a municipal landfill is against state code.

He admitted that he kicked the mother of his child in the stomach while wearing boots. She was pregnant and the unborn child suffered a skull fracture, causing the child to die in-utero.
Wow, I didn’t know a “clump of cells” could suffer a skull fracture. Interesting.
(Seriously, though – how awful. :( )
I guess if the child is unwanted, he or she remains a clump of cells; but if the child is wanted, s/he magically and instantaneously becomes a child…the logic of our court system.
How horrific!!
Eric I think you’ve got it.
Will this be another instance where we hear nary a peep from proaborts about the killing?
“That’s too bad but abortion is legal and that’s good and blah, blah, blah.”
I’m confused about the expression “voluntary manslaughter”. INvoluntary manslaughter is when you didn’t mean to kill the person, so voluntary manslaughter would mean you DID mean to kill the person. Wouldn’t that then equal “murder” ?
I guess it means you meant to kill a non-person human, Peg. OH, PRO-CHOICE MENTAL GYMNASTICS, YOU WIN THE GOLD METAL!
According to Wikipedia, “Voluntary manslaughter is the killing of a human being in which the offender had no prior intent to kill and acted during ‘the heat of passion’, under circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to become emotionally or mentally disturbed.”
I suppose liberals aren’t as generous as they profess if they’re going to let PP close its doors due to a lack of funding.
Thanks for the definition JoAnna. The article does not give enough details, but it raises questions: what were the “circumstances”? Did Fernando Woody simply not want to be a father? Is forced fatherhood something that would cause a reasonable person to become emotionally or mentally disturbed?
Fernando Woody already was a father. And still is.
“Forced fatherhood?” First time I have heard that.
“Planned Parenthood is closing six clinics(none of which perform abortions)”
Well of course they aren’t going to close the money making baby killing ones down. The “women’s healthcare” (you remember, the healthcare that the nation cannot do without) ones that they fought so hard to keep funding for are the first to go. Why are we not surprised?
Kill the Giant!
Jill,
What else is known about Stericycle in other states?
