DNC Dispatch: The Planned Parenthood protest; Update: Vid added

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 23, 2008 02:20 PM

Scroll down for updates…vid added…

DENVER — I attended the abortion protest at the new Planned Parenthood mega-facility here in Denver this morning.

The pro-abortion presence was measly. I counted about seven or eight demonstrators who tried to compensate for their low numbers with their loud mouths.

The ignorance of the pro-abort activists is, frankly, astonishing. This woman, Elaine Brower of NY, stood with the small gaggle of pro-Planned Parenthood cheerleaders attacking pro-lifers as racists.

But when asked whether the barbaric eugenics legacy of Planned Parenthood godmother Margaret Sanger bothered her, she told me: “No, I don’t believe that. That’s made up. This has nothing to do with black people.”

Speaking of which: All of the pro-abortion activists I saw were white. Meanwhile, across the street from Planned Parenthood’s palace, I spoke with black and Hispanic mothers who had very strong feelings about abortion. They weren’t there to take part in the protests. They were there because Planned Parenthood had the disgustingly bad taste to build their bloody business right next to a large park and playground. It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Park — and it was filled this morning with families watching their sons practice football:

One of the moms, Priscilla, was angry about the construction of the clinic right across from her neighborhood park and said bluntly: “I don’t want a f**king abortion clinic in my neighborhood!” A Hispanic mother added: “It’s against the Catholic Church.” Someone tell Joe Biden. And another black mother of three I spoke to while sitting in her minivan, when asked about her views on abortion, told me simply: “I don’t believe in it.”

But our tax dollars pay for it.

And you’re a woman-hating racist if you oppose it.

And if you want to make your views known at the DNC, you better be quiet about it.

The People’s Press Collective, an impressive group of Denver-area bloggers who have united to provide multimedia coverage of the circus, caught a Democrat clean-up crew quickly dispatched to scrub away pro-life chalk messages left on the sidewalk at the Pepsi Center yesterday:

The message they didn’t want the public to see:

“True change ends abortion.”

Update: Here’s vid of the protest. Some of my interview with Priscilla, one of the moms angered by Planned Parenthood’s presence, begins at around 5:39:

    I wonder how many of the supporters have been in an abortion clinic. I wonder how many of them have seen a woman right after she has had an abortion.

    I have. Before driving a truck, I was a heat and air man for years after getting out of the military. I had a service call to what was listed as a “womens clinic”. While I was looking around, escorted, they were bringing a woman out of the “procedure room”. I was quickly shuttled off to the staff lounge.

    But not before I saw the womans face. The look of pain, the realization of what she had just done… It was something that will live with me till my dying days.

    I had to get out. Smoke a cigerette and try and clear my head. Try and get myself under control again so I could go back and conduct myself as a professional. Outside, in the staff smoking area they had had some concrete poured recently. One of the employees had taken a stick and inscribed in it, “Jesus, protect us from your followers”. That was the straw that broke the camels back. Loaded my tools and left.

    I’m sure many of you have seen things you wish you could forget. The look of pain, the look of final understanding on that young woman’s face is something that no matter how hard I try, I can’t get it out of my mind.

    As far as I am concerned, everyone who supports abortion should be faced with such a look. Seeing a woman immediately after the procedure is done is something that may change a few minds.

    So true, Twofoot. I only wish more people understood that with abortion, there really are 2 involved: the mother and her child. Abortion impacts both forever.

    I say good for these people protesting! I hope more show up.

    As with many things, liberals want:
    1. Abortion, but they don’t want to see it.
    2. Military protection of the nation, but they don’t want to see it.
    3. God to save them one day, but they don’t want to see it.
    I’m sure there are many more things they want, but don’t want to have to see it.

    Typical.

    If it goes against abortion, it’s “made up.”

    Here’s the proof of Margaret Sanger’s love of eugenics, via her own account of speaking with the KKK.

    Or this:

    “We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

    Margaret Sanger’s December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble.

    But keep saying PP is all about helping women.

    Right. To paraphrase the woman above: I don’t believe that. It’s made up. Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with helping women.

    We may never see the reversal of this hideous law, and we may not see the end of partial birth abortions anytime soon – but, would mandatory notification to perspective fathers of the pending procedure, along with a bill for services rendered by the clinic have any in-your-face effect? If he doesn’t pay the bill at least it would mess up his credit for a long time. Or, how about the mother having to disclose the name of the father if the mother is under the age of consent? If the mother is 16 and the father is 20, he should face jail. Believe that was tried somewhere in the midwest but never heard the outcome.

    GaMidnightRider—

    Your post at #10 got me thinking. I abhor the idea of paying for others’ irresponsibility as well, particularly when it involves something so polarizing and ethical. I think abortion is wrong, period. Trying to convince someone with a liberal viewpoint about it is pointless. If Roe v. Wade must stand, I think some stipulations should be placed upon it:

    1) Patients must pay out of pocket for the procedure. It amazes me that parents will pay for their teenage daughters to get boob jobs, or that the average woman has no problem shelling out their own money for botox injections, but these same people expect you and me to pay for their abortion(s). Maybe some of the women who use abortion as a form of birth control would think more deeply about it if it was going to cost some major bucks. And as heartless as it sounds, yes, I believe even in extreme cases like rape, they should have to pay out of pocket.

    2. Anyone under the age of 18 must have signed parental consent before the procedure can be performed.Doesn’t it seem a bit odd that anyone under 18 must have parental permission to go on a school field trip, but not to have a potentially hazardous medical procedure performed on them?

    3. Any woman who enters a clinic to have an abortion performed must first be required to receive orientation about it from the clinic staff. The patient should have to view an ultrasound and/or listen to or read detailed information about the operation itself, and about the development of the baby in terms of weeks or months, so they can see that it IS a living being (not some kind of benign tumor) being removed from their body.

    4. Women who enter the clinic to have an abortion performed must agree to some sort of short-term counseling before or afterward. If I file for bankruptcy, I must complete some sort of financial counseling session before the debt can be officially discharged. Why not expect something similar for an act that is likely to have a more profound (certainly emotional) impact on a person who is being held to accountability for future transgressions or misfortune?

    All of these would make abortion less convenient, but still allow the “pro-choice” crowd to keep their sacrament legal. I put pro-choice in quotes because my honest opinion is that it is a misnomer— one of the people involved in the procedure has no choice. It’s a shame some people don’t get that.

    Whoa. I totally disagree. Whether it’s the law of the land or not, if it violates a person’s conscience it is still wrong to make him pay for it. You can invoke legaleze till you’re blue in the face, but no one should be obligated to support something just because it’s legal.

    And the fact that people have used this argument in support of something you don’t agree with does not mean I or others cannot use it.

    Slavery was legal. Does that mean I would have had to subsidize it with my tax dollars? Would you?

    Saying that abortions are funded by tax dollars is a big lie. Federal tax dollars are not allowed to go towards abortion. Period. Planned Parenthood gets tax monies because of Title X, a program that allows families in need to receive health care and birth control at reduced or no cost. None of that money is allowed to support an abortion.

    As for building a Planned Parenthood facility near a park, who cares. Maybe it will serve as a reminder to soccer moms to get a mammogram.

    By the way, all the abortion is bad for women stuff is bunk.

    Your point(s) are well taken. We both agree that abortion is wrong. I believe that it should be illegal & it is the law that need to be changed. The fact that we are asked to pay for it against our beliefs is wrong, but no more wrong than paying to support those who willfully don’t contribute to society(which also leads to more abortions). It is the law & not he funding that offends me.

    Oh, atheling, you silly, silly dummy.

    Enjoy fighting that war in Iraq without the tax dollars of the super-majority of Americans who want us out of the Middle East.

    And it’s a moot point anyways. Family planning clinics are not allowed to use that money on abortions. One could rasonably surmise that somewhere down the line, someone broke the rules. And those people should be held accountable. But if you think PP is going to risk their Title X money, hundreds of millions of dollars, then you’re out of your tree.

    And I hate women, Atheling? A non-partisan study concluded that the theory that women suffer from psychological effects after abortion is false. I don’t hate women. I hate people who ignore data when that data undermines one of their points.

    “The most methodologically sound research indicates that among women who have a single, legal, first-trimester abortion of an unplanned pregnancy for nontherapeutic reasons, the relative risks of mental health problems are no greater than the risks among women who deliver an unplanned pregnancy.”

    You don’t trust women enough to make their own decisions. I hate women so much that I trust them to do what’s best for them even when I disagree with it (I am personally opposed to abortion, but I’m a man so I concede that it’s not my choice). I am such a bastard*.

    The argument that life begins at conception is scientifically ridiculous, but at least it’s based on a strong belief in the soul. That’s not something we should be basing laws on, but I sympathize.

    I don’t sympathize with liars who claim abortion leads to breast cancer and depression.

    Hi Rusty a poem for you:
    A Great Loss
    Jessica

    Received: October 25, 2003
    I was so desperate, alone, and sad.
    My heart was locked and you were the key.
    You became my life, all that I loved and had.
    Then one morning you were brutally taken from me.

    It was cold-blooded murder, nothing less.
    It’s so unfair, I’m alive and you’re dead.
    You were the one innocent and helpless.
    You died so quickly, no “Goodbye” said.

    When you left, you took a piece of my soul and heart.
    Without you I’ll never again be complete.
    My life will always be missing a part.
    My heart will always pound a lonely beat.

    It seems like tears from Heaven when it rains.
    And with an empty heart, I look for you in the stars.
    There’s no sign of any physical pain,
    But, no one can see the emotional scars.

    There are lots of slippery slopes in life. There are fully conscious people near the end of life who refuse “heroic” medical care because it would not improve their quality of life. Hospitals and families have to figure out how to walk on this slippery slope that might lead to euthanasia.

    God gave us intelligence. Let’s use it. The question is not whether the fetus is alive, but whether it is a person.

    On August 23rd, 2008 at 9:23 pm, englishqueen01 said:

    This is just one of the stories that Rusty claims is “bunk”:

    Stacy Zallie underwent a safe, legal abortion at the age of 19, in 1999.

    She didn’t tell her family about the abortion, but did mention that she was troubled. She sought psyciatric care, but still kept the abortion a secret.

    In October of 2000, about a year after her abortion and mere days before she was to serve as a bridesmaid in her brother‘s wedding, Stacy took her own life.

    Stacy was the daughter of George J. Zallie, owner of eight ShopRite stores near Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and his wife, Linda.

    After learning of the abortion and Stacy’s unbearable anguish afterward, her parents started the Stacy Zallie Foundation to provide post-abortion care so that nobody else’s daughter suffers the fate their daughter did.

    The Zallie family takes no stand on abortion, seeking to keep their focus on providing desperately-needed aftercare to suffering women, regardless of politics, creed, or religion.

    Or this one:

    A woman I used to picket with in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, told me of a day she was outside one of Harrisburg’s two safe and legal abortion facilities.

    The clinic was set back from the street by an expanse of lawn, with a parking lot to the side and back. Sidewalk counselors would stand in the alley, where they could call to the women as they got out of their cars. The picketers would stand on the sidewalk in front, where patients could see their signs from the waiting room.

    The woman saw a middle-aged white couple get out of a car. They opened the back door and pulled out a teenage girl who appeared to be Filipine.

    The girl was crying. The sidewalk counselors called out to her, and she tried to move toward them, the picketer said, but the middle-aged white couple took the girl by the arms and led her toward the front of the building.

    The picketer called out to the clinic escort. “Can’t you see she doesn’t want to do this? I can’t step on your property, but you can help her. You’re pro-choice, right? Can’t you help her?”

    According to the picketer, the escort smirked at her, then held the facility door open, to make it easier for the couple to propel the girl into the clinic.

    The next time she saw that girl’s face, the picketer told me, was on the news.

    It was October of 1992, and the news story was about the suicide of 19-year-old Arlin Della Cruz. She had disappeared from her home. A search found her hanging from a tree in a nearby woods. “Under her shirt, the coroner found Arlin’s favorite stuffed animal — a rabbit.” Arlin’s mother said that Arlin had left a suicide note saying that she wanted to go be with her baby.

    One of Arlin’s friends reported that Arlin wanted the baby, but chose abortion to try to salvage her relationship with her boyfriend.

    If the picketer’s observations are correct, Arlin had serious second thoughts the day of the abortion.

    Or this one:

    In October of 1984, 14-year-old Sandra Kaiser went to a Planned Parenthood with her 21-year-old half-sister, Karen Flynn. The test was positive, and Sandra told Karen she wanted an abortion. Karen made an appointment and took Sandra to Reproductive Health Services (RHS) for a safe and legal abortion.

    Karen later said that during the counseling session, Sandra did not seem ambivalent, and said that she thought she was too young to have a child. Sandra also lied, saying that her mother knew of the abortion plan, approved of it, and had provided the money to pay for it. Three days later, Karen brought Sandra back to RHS for the abortion.

    It is important to note that Sandra had already led a very troubled life. At age 7 she witnessed the stabbing death of one of her half-brothers. At age 11 she was diagnosed with a conduct disorder. By age 12 her problems included drinking alcohol, running away from home, temper outbursts, skipping school, crying, and nightmares about her brother’s death. She was hospitalized at least twice and had received outpatient therapy and medication. She was, in short, a high-risk abortion patient, likely to suffer severe psychological after-effects.

    Sandra signed the consent form, and Karen signed in the space for parent/guardian. The two sisters also filled out the other paperwork for the abortion. They checked “No” in answer to the question, “Have you ever been hospitalized other than for childbirth.” Karen later said that they checked “No” despite Sandra’s psychiatric hospitalization because she believed the question only pertained to hospitalization for physican ailments.

    Sandra was then shown a film called First Trimester Informed Consent. The film said, “A few women have negative emotional feelings after an abortion. You may feel slightly depressed, but those feelings are normal. .. [S]evere depression is not to be expected. If you are severely depressed after this abortion, it may be that your feelings about ending a pregnancy have not yet been completely resolved.”

    After the abortion, Sandra holed up in her room a lot, crying. About three weeks after the abortion, Sandra’s mother overheard Sandra talking to her boyfriend on the phone. The boyfriend had supposedly gotten another girl pregnant. Sandra said that she was going to go jump off a bridge. Half an hour later, Sandra went to an overpass and leaped into traffic.

    The driver of the car that hit her stopped and stood by Sandra, waving his arms to alert oncoming traffic to her presence in the road. The driver behind him stopped his car as well, and began flashing his headlinghts and sounding his horn to alert traffic. A woman driving an oncoming car saw the man waving his arms, and the car with lights flashing, and became confused and alarmed. She drove past them, running over Sandra.

    Upon arriving at her destination, this driver told a friend of the strange event. The friend suggested that they return to the scene to find out what had happened. By the time they arrived, the police had arrived, Sandra was being loaded into an ambulance, and somebody had found Sandra’s mother and brought her to the scene. The woman driver told the police what had happened, and no charges were brought against her.

    Sandra died later of multiple internal injuries.

    Or this one:

    “Sandra” is one of the women Life Dynamics identifies on their “Blackmun Wall” as having been killed by a safe and legal abortion.

    Sandra was 18 years old when she underwent a first-trimester abortion procedure in New York.

    Three days later, on April 18, 1971, Sandra killed herself. Before her death, she had expressed guilt about having “killed her baby.”

    Tragically, nobody had contacted Sandra to give her the results of the pathology report on what had been removed from her uterus. There had been no embryo. Sandra had not actually been pregnant.

    Or this study, that links abortion to women’s violent deaths.

    But of course, because a pro-lifer found these stories, they’re all bunk and made up.

    None of these women are really dead. I’m sure Rusty will be more than happy to contact their families and tell them their deaths were all a figment of their imagination…

    I think I’m going to go around and start saying all the anti-war folks post-war trauma stories are made up, too. Let’s see how far that goes.

    Give me a break.

    I’ll find more stories, too. But – of course – they’ll be dismissed. Nothing can stand in the way of abortion…especially not fact and the harm to women.

    Only women who can’t have abortions are tragedies. Women who have abortions, die from them, or kill themselves afterward are all myths…

    No, I think a man who doesn’t want the child should be able to force the woman to have an abortion.
