- North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue vetoed an informed consent bill. When the measure originally passed, in both chambers it was one vote shy of having veto-proof majorities.
- In Ireland, a man named Christopher Paul Buckham who got a 15-year-old pregnant and gave her abortion drugs has been sentenced to 7 years in prison:
Buckham pleaded guilty to 8 charges of sexual activity with a child and 1 of supplying a poison to procure a miscarriage, between June 19th, 2009, and May 22nd last year.
- Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri is suing in an attempt to keep their Title X funding:At issue are so-called federal Title X funds, which go toward family-planning activities. Kansas will get about $2.7M in Title X funds for family-planning services in 2012-13….
While the federal funds make up one-third to half of the clinics’ budgets in Hays and Wichita, [local PP president Peter] Brownlie didn’t foresee them immediately closing if the lawsuit is lost. However, he cautioned that clients could pay more for services.
- Saturday Night Live alum and Parks and Rec star Amy Poehler (pictured left) may be funny but she’s not real smart. From her e-mail to Planned Parenthood’s e-mail list encouraging people to join and donate to Planned Parenthood:
There’s no better way to have an impact for women’s health than being a Planned Parenthood member – and if you give now, you have twice the impact.
Yes, “no better way” than donating to a bloated behemoth which rakes in ten of millions in income in excess of expenses every year, wastes money on Twitter advertising, and compensates their higher-ups with large salaries.
- The Indiana law which stripped Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood for the last month and a half also led doctors at a couple of hospitals to stop performing abortions:According to the Indianapolis Star, the doctors at IU and Wishard hospitals stopped performing abortions on about 70 patients, including many with complications that put the patient’s health at risk.
In a statement, Wishard Hospital made it clear it is not the hospitals making the call, it’s the doctors.

Amy Poehler is my queen.
I gave $15 to PP specifically because Amy Poehler endorsed them. I love Amy and I love Planned Parenthood, I’m so excited that theyre working together!
I just gave a billion dollars to my Local Pregnancy Options Center in Derrrr and Jane’s names!!!
I love mothers and I love babies and I am so excited that we can keep them both safe by avoiding abortion!!
::jumps for joy, giggles with glee::
It’s your money, Carla, donate it wherever you want!
Well golly gee whiz, Jane THANKS!
Aw shucks, Carla, you’re very welcome!!
I think it’s a good thing that Amy’s email will get people to donate to PP. After all, the more money PP gets from donors, the less money they need to get from the government. That seems like a win-win situation to me.
Well it certainly is hard for them to claim that “women’s health” will suffer if so many pro-aborts are willing to personally finance PP when taxpayer funding is withdrawn. They are killing the golden goose! Love it!!
About the creep in Ireland: I am totally sickened by “men” who sexually exploit young girls. I work with many teen moms, and quite often, the father of their child is a man in his twenties. It truly is nauseating!
As for Amy whats-her-name, does anyone really care what celebrities do or don’t think?
I like Amy Poehler–she is extremely funny and I hear good things about her. I just assume pretty much everyone whose work I enjoy in music or television or movies is about “choice.” And I feel that they are informed and unfortunately drinking the Kool Aid. That doesn’t make them awful horrible people–it just makes them misguided. I know people who know Amy Poehler; they love her. I’m not going to stop watching Parks & Recreation (which is a wonderful, wonderful show) because I disagree with Amy Poehler about Planned Parenthood. That’s just stupid.
Oops, I meant “misinformed” in my above post. I can’t type so goodly today.
