Barack Obama is the first President to address a Planned Parenthood convention. He finished his rousing speech by saying, “I want you to know that you’ve got a President who’s going to be right there with you fighting every step of the way. Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you.”
I was particularly offended by the “God bless you” line — I’m sure you are too.
Planned Parenthood is a monstrous operation. In 2012, they raked in over $1.1 billion, including $542 million in taxpayer funding via federal and state grants and contracts. Although none of the government money specifically underwrites the abortions they perform, it does allow Planned Parenthood to use private donations to pay for their grisly services. And that’s a big “business” — in 2011 alone, Planned Parenthood performed a record 333,964 abortions.
In reading some background stories about Planned Parenthood, I came across these news items:
*A Planned Parenthood counselor was caught on tape admitting that the organization leaves infants born alive after an abortion to die.
*A Delaware Planned Parenthood clinic experienced five botched [their term, not my definition] abortion emergencies in less than five weeks.
And then there was this:
For the second time this month, pro-life activists helplessly looked on as yet another ambulance rushed away from the St. Louis Planned Parenthood abortion clinic headed for a hospital emergency room. Emergency workers spent 14 minutes inside the Planned Parenthood office, the last remaining abortion clinic in Missouri, before emerging with a woman on a gurney covered head to toe with a sheet. The ambulance departed without the use of its lights or siren.
Planned Parenthood is an evil business, and the right to life movement does an excellent job exposing and opposing it. I’m proud to say the Constitution Party is part of that cause — we are the only pro-life party in America.
Our platform is crystal clear:
“We affirm the God-given legal personhood of all human beings from fertilization to natural death, without exception. … Under no circumstances may the federal government fund or otherwise support any state or local government or any organization or entity, foreign or domestic, which advocates, encourages or participates in the practice of abortion.”
Every one of our party’s candidates are 100% pro-life. Every one, running for every office, in every state. In 2012, former Missouri State Representative Cynthia Davis was the Constitution Party candidate for Lt. Governor. The Missouri Right to Life Committee endorsed her candidacy. Cynthia said at the time, “We are changing the political landscape. This is the first time Missouri Right to Life has ever endorsed anyone on the Constitution Party ticket.”
We are offering a strong pro-life challenge to the establishment candidates, and the right to life movement is taking notice. That’s why we need your help.
We want to take our pro-life message to thousands who stand up for the unborn. Will you help us do that? May I count on your investment of $20?
You know, this year marks the 40th anniversary of legalized abortion-on-demand. Perhaps a gift of $40 or even $80 should mark this sad milestone. I’ll leave that decision to you.
In 2012, Planned Parenthood’s political action committee donated $190,000 to pro-abortion candidates — that was part of the $3.6 million pay-off to politicians by the powerful pro-abortion movement.
We don’t need millions of dollars — right now we need thousands of right-to-lifers working at the grassroots level, helping Constitution Party candidates. To recruit them, we need your contribution: $20, $40, $80, or more will go a long way in spreading the word: The Constitution Party is the only pro-life party in America.
Let’s get to work defending the unborn.
I’m pretty sure the active IPR writers read these comments. If they want to do an interview they will let us know.
Unfortunately Chris has gone off the political grid :/
Maybe Josh- he might be game; wouldn’t hurt to ask him, Andy.
Not me. Conflict of interest.
The divisive nature of abortion makes the effect worse than the cause. It is so stupid and detrimental to argue.

Andy, why don’t you simply have someone with IPR interview you about it them?”
Krzysztof Lesiak said he wanted to write a story about it a while back, but then he disappeared from the site.
If anyone wants to write a story about it for IPR I’m game.
Andy, why don’t you simply have someone with IPR interview you about it them?
Mark, I think you’re going to have to contact Frank in order to get a response from him.
David Terry,
Short answer is free will.
I do remember several years ago I hired a copter air service company to go to a very remote South Pacific Island. A native women was having very bad labor problem with a birth and would have died if not taken to the hospital near Henderson
Field IN THE SOLOMON ISLANDS. I directed the air service company to stop the project and take that lady to the hospital.
That trip cost me nearly $7,000.00, but two persons lives were saved and there is a young man in the Solomon Islands
named Mark after me.
The way it is going with Obama Care, this problem could increase in time that the United States medical care will match
the 3rd world. We need to end SOCIALISM now and have free market medical care.
Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg
Vice Chairman, American Independent Party of California.
“or President”
Should read for President.
Who is going to expose the Constitution Party and their candidate or President, Virgil Goode, for ripping off several petition circulators in 2012?
Fluckiger pontificates:
“I was particularly offended by the “God bless you” line — I’m sure you are too.”
I am particularly offended that you are offended. AND, I am REALLY offended by all this “God Shit”
Mr. Fluckiger, as well as Mr. Seidenberg CLAIM to be “pro-life” (narrowly defined) Are EITHER
of these two gentlemen aware that CLEARLY, GOD is NOT “pro-life”!!!
Each year 10 million children die of “natural causes” before their 5th birthday. We humans have little control over these unfortunate deaths, AND NO POWER TO STOP THEM.
Please tell us why your “all-powerful, all seeing” GOD refuses to intercede on their behalf?
If you have no answer, please have the decency to admit that you are clueless.
The American Independent Party is pro-life.
To Frank Fluckiger
You state that a Delaware Planned Parenthood clinic experienced five “botched” abortion emergencies in less than five
weeks. Please explain what you mean? Our you saying that five babies were born or are you saying the mothers died
during the process of killing their baby’s?
Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg,
Vice Chairman,
American Independent Party of California
