BREAKING NEWS: Aurora Planned Parenthood Will NOT Open Tomorrow!
— Posted by John (September 17, 2007 at 12:53 pm)
From the Aurora Beacon:
Planned Parenhood’s Aurora center will not open on Tuesday as legal wrangling continues. A federal judge Monday set another hearing for Thursday to address issues by both sides in an ongoing lawsuit.
The best line from the story about the non-opening of Planned Parenthood’s ginormous Abortion Fortress tomorrow is this:
Planned Parenthood President and CEO Steve Trombley counted the judge’s ruling as a victory for Planned Parenthood saying that it is clear the judge took the issue seriously.
Um, if you sue the city to force you to open on a particular day, and if the judge in the case does not rule that the city must allow you to open on that particular day, how can that possibly be considered a victory?
***UPDATE: 1:35PM…Eric was at this morning’s hearing and sends along this additional information:
Planned Parenthood was asking Federal District Judge Charles Norgle to issue an injunction that would have required the City to let them open for business WITHOUT concluding the investigation into PP’s dealings with the City.
Judge Charles Norgle listened to arguments from PP and the City for an hour, and decided a full hearing was required.
The hearing has been set for Thursday at 10 a.m. That means that Planned Parenthood will not open until Friday at the earliest.
One important point to keep in mind:
The question here is not whether PP can ever open. The question is whether their opening can be DELAYED while an investigation is concluded into the allegations raised into whether PP defrauded the City.
That question may be settled Thursday after a full hearing.

The longer you delay the longer you deny women the access to the healthcare they need and want. Later-term abortions or delayed access to contraception that cause unwanted pregnancies… Many women had appointments and you stopped them.
I heard you on NPR this evening Eric…. If i wasn’t scared of you before, I’m scared of you now.

You are a vile wench Lauren. Ripping a baby’s arms off is not “healthcare” for anyone.

Lauren,
What does it matter if the abortion is a 1st or 2nd trimester abortion? It’s still the taking of a life.
As for greater birth control access lowering abortion rates, that reminds me of the quote, “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.”

Lauren,
Go to http://www.noroomforcontraception.com/Articles/Role-Of-Contraception-Increased-Abortion.htm
I know, it’s a pro-life site. I’m not asking you to agee with their message. However, look at all the cited sources. Family Planning Perspectives, Guttmacher Institute, Harvard University- not exactly your conservative types.
As contraception became more available, the abortion rate rose. Period. You can try to deny the link. But when you do, prove that contraception does not lead to increased abortion.

Mary says:
Controlled experiments with so-called emergency contraception created three groups of women: those who had on hand, those who could get it over the counter, those who needed a prescription.
They found that the use was highest in the first group and lowest in the last, but there was no difference between them for pregnancies and abortions. What access to emergency contraception had really created was emergencies among women who concluded they didn’t need to bother.
This may explain why a rise in STD has always occured when emergency contraception is introduced into an area.
Over to you: any experiments showing that any form of contraception does correlate with lower pregnancy rates? Provide the experiment set-up while you’re at it, so we know what it proves.

Lauren, you were the one to declare that access to contraception prevents abortions. You have not provided any evidence, let alone UNBIASED evidence. Perhaps you should set a good example for us by providing it.

Fine Lauren,
Some time soon when I have some time, I will simply cut and paste all of the footnotes with links for you, tying together the links so that you won’t have to look at another pro-life site.
The only thing worse than people believing a lie is having them wall themselves in avoiding the light of truth.

I believe he said Guttmacher was one of the sources…aren’t they your friends?
So now you’re not only blind, but deaf too? You should see someone about that…

Great comments, Lauren. PP is a wonderful organization. Please be nice to Quinn, though. His lobotomy has left him basically braindead.
