UPDATE 1:25: LifeNews.com has the complete statement, which reiterates that Planned Parenthood is capable of “providing emergency care,” which is again, false, unless PP is equipped to treat preemies.

12:28p: In follow-up to Florida Planned Parenthood lobbyist Alisa LaPolt Snow’s shocking contention last week that the fate of abortion survivors should be left to “the woman, her family, and the physician,”  Planned Parenthood gave Sean Hannity this statement yesterday:

In the extremely unlikely event that the scenario presented by the panel of legislators should happen, of course Planned Parenthood would provide appropriate care to both the woman and the infant.

That Planned Parenthood responded at all means the heat brought on by Snow’s statements condoning infanticide became intolerable. PP’s preferred response is to ignore bad press, such as is often seen when Live Action releases a new exposé.

That aside, PP’s statement contradicts Snow’s repeated claim to different lines of questioning that the decision whether an abortion survivor lives or dies should be up to the mother and doctor, both of whom are invested in the latter outcome.

In addition, it would not be possible for any PP to “provide appropriate care to… the infant” unless it had neonatal resuscitation equipment, meds, and personnel trained to provide emergency care to preemies, which I happen to know is no easy task. I’m confident no PP in the U.S. has a neonatal crash cart (above right) and nursing staff certified in Neonatal Advanced Life Support. Click to enlarge sample algorithm…

This brings me to a suggestion I’ve made for several years that, in follow-up to state and federal Born Alive laws, legislators should propose a law requiring abortion clinics that commit late-term abortions to have neonatal resuscitation equipment on the premises, which would also have to include a baby warmer (left), and personnel trained in neonatal resuscitation.

Florida legislators should immediately add this amendment to HB1129.

Planned Parenthood has now hemmed itself in on this, making it nearly impossible to oppose such an amendment, since it has implied it already has such mechanisms in place.

… [A] government-funded organization just sent a representative to testify that she is not entirely sure a mother does not have an inalienable right to murder; the president whose administration funds her organization has expressed the exact same sentiments, and in fact voted on them — several times.

But the other one got it.

This past Saturday, March 23, an ambulance was called at 6p to Summit Women’s Center abortion clinic in Detroit, Michigan, according to Citizens for a Pro-Life Society.

Pro-lifers on the scene, who had spoken with her earlier, indicated the woman placed into the ambulance on a gurney had come to the clinic that day for a second-trimester abortion.

The sole abortionist in the mill at the time of the medical emergency was Reginald Sharpe, who recently began working at Summit after closing his own three Michigan mills and filing for bankruptcy.

Through the course of the bankruptcy it was learned Sharpe had no malpractice insurance, with “no real prospect for doing so in the future,” according to Comerica, his bank. He likely had none on Saturday.

I have extensively chronicled this hack abortionist’s history in the links above, which includes killing a mother during a botched abortion in 2008, when Sharpe perforated her uterus and lacerated a uterine blood vessel, intestines and liver.

Published here for the first time is that mother’s (redacted) death certificate, via pro-life investigator Lynn Mills and CPS. As CPS noted in its press release:

Notice that it indicates that the woman died at a so-called “birthing center” – when in actuality the address is that of Sharpe’s abortion clinic [at 16738 East] Warren Avenue in Detroit – where, of course, babies are not born – but put to death!

It is inexplicable that Sharpe’s abortion clinic would be described as a “birthing center,” other than to hide the fact this death occurred as the result of an abortion. How many other abortions are missed by abortion-friendly glitches in the system?

From People:

The famously fertile family of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting have another baby on the way.  Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s oldest child, Josh, and his wife, Anna, are expecting their third child.  They are already parents to daughter Mackynzie, 3, and son Michael, 21 months.

“It is very exciting,” says Josh, 25. “It’s fun for Michael and Mackynzie being so close in age and this baby will be, too. We feel very blessed and happy.”

The video below is a lovely montage of them as a couple, getting married and having their babies:

I want her to be happy and I feel like she wants a kid so bad. I take back some of the things I said to you thinking you were crazy about carrying her child. I still think it’s a huge decision, but I understand why you’d want to do that for your family.
