Silver lining: Planned Parenthood lays off 20 percent of staff

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 9, 2009 07:41 PM

Nope. Not shedding any tears over this recession-related news. Not one tear:

Hit with declines in funding from the economic crisis and the Madoff scandal, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is laying off around 20% of its staff.

Roughly 30 people were let go earlier this week, according to a source who works for the nonprofit. Executives at Planned Parenthood confirmed the layoffs, but declined to give more details.

“As with many other nonprofit organizations, Planned Parenthood has had to make staff reductions at our headquarters due to the challenging economic times facing our country,” said Maryana Iskander, chief operating officer at the agency.

…Part of Planned Parenthood’s funding declines stem from the closing of the Florida-based Picower Foundation, which shut down in December because its assets were managed by Bernard Madoff. The $1 billion foundation was one of the few major funders of reproductive rights issues.

    I can’t find where she claims any authority in the matter at all. She does seem to believe as I do that killing a human embryo is killing a human.

    Malkin tries to undermine abortion’s legality all the time and I have no doubt that she would favour criminalising women who don’t want to go through with unwanted pregnancies. If you believe abortion is murder, that’s fine; don’t have an abortion. But don’t force YOUR decision on other people.

    Golly! I didn’t realize MM had the authority to do so. You would think she’d have posted something about having the power to outlaw abortion. In fact, if the story said that PP had laid off 100% of staff, then your post might not be so ridiculous. But, alas, back here in reality, people are still capable of ending inconvenient “unwanted” pregnancies.

    Planned Parenthood uses abortion for birth control. Since taxpayers are funding it, I’d say we have the right to have an opinion on it.

    Unlike conservatives, I don’t think we should put rights and freedoms up for a vote. Even though the majority of Americans want gay people to remain as second class citizens in their country, that doesn’t make it right. It didn’t make slavery right, and it didn’t make segregation right either. It’s funny that conservatives only ever want to put rights they disagree with up for a vote. I don’t see too many conservatives recomending that we put gun control or even a ban on guns up for the vote in New England, New York, Illinois or California!

    As a matter of principle, I wouldn’t support putting it to a vote, but it would pass if it was put to a vote.

    Even Roe from Roe v Wade no longer supports abortion after decades of supporting it…

    The “Roe” of the landmark Roe v. Wade (search) Supreme Court decision is asking the nation’s highest court to overturn its 1973 ruling that made abortion legal throughout the United States.

    On the 33rd anniversary of her initial lawsuit, which resulted in the high court’s historic ruling three years later, Norma McCorvey (search) announced Tuesday she will petition the court to reopen the original case, based on changes in law and technology over the last 30 years.

    “I’m sorry that I signed that affidavit,” McCorvey said during the press conference Tuesday, referring to when she became the plaintiff in the original case.

    She said the court case “brought the holocaust of abortion” but that with her legal action Tuesday, “I feel good about myself, I really do. I feel like the weight of the world has really been lifted off my shoulders.”

    McCorvey made the announcement at the Ferris Plaza Park in Dallas, just blocks from the Earl Cabell Federal Building, where the original lawsuit was entered.

    “I long for the day that justice will be done and the guilt from all of these deaths will be removed from my shoulders,” McCorvey said in a statement announcing the intent of the motion. “I want to do everything in my power to help women and their children.

    “The issue is justice for the unborn…”

    This is as opposed to gun rights, which really and truely ARE rights, again whether sub-literate morons like you like it or not.

    I did not “dodge” this question. It’s ludricrous. I’m sure if I thought like Sarah Palin and her hideously stupid followers, I’d want the right to kill gay people, but I don’t think like her and I don’t want that right.

    You haven’t done your social conservative homework; gay people aren’t “born” gay, they make a consious decision and “choose” to lead a “lifestyle” of homosexuality. That’s how social conservatives justify their grotesque treatment of gay people. You need to study more, I think!

    So you think Palin wants to kill gay people?

    Of course not. That was cheap shot. But I do believe she would put gay people in prison if she could.

    Prove to me that a fetus is not a human.

    Omu,

    You are a hateful person. I’m sure you will say because I’m male I don’t know anything.I was born premature and illegitimate, Thankfully my birth mother, who I never knew, put me up for adoption. I was adopted by two wonderful people who loved me.
    The majority of abortions are for birth control reasons. The rape/incest “red herring” is a very,very small percentage. Why couldn’t these women use the pill, the sponge, an IUD, the patch or spermicidal foam? Why couldn’t they have their partner use a condom? Are all of these abortions due to broken rubbers?
    Sarah Palin did not say “kill or imprison all the Gay people”, but you have said, “it’s ok to kill the defenseless”.
    The founder of PP, Margaret Sanger was a Eugenicist. Are you saying we should kill all you find undesirable?

    Thankfully my birth mother, who I never knew, put me up for adoption.

    I’m happy that adoption worked out for you, but it’s absurd to say that it is a legitimate alternative. Besides, social conservatives do all they can to stifle adoption; a ban on unmarried couples adopting passed in Arkansas last year and despite the fact that there are thousands (perhaps millions) of loving same sex couples who want nothing more than to raise a child, social cons try successfully to stop adoptions by these couples.

    1850s version- if you think Negroes are people and shouldn’t be slaves, don’t own one. But don’t force your decision on the good people of the South.

    You tell your gay fellow human beings that they are disgusting and unwelcome. You try to stop welfare to help out the less fortunate among your fellow living human beings. You try to stop universal healthcare to help you fellow humans when they are sick or in pain.

    Not one statement of which is accurate, nor do they have anything to do with killing.

    Omu only comes out when the conversation is about abortion or homosexuality. It’s like s/he has some kind of spider-sense or something. I’ll bet MM could post a story about homosexual abortion practices in New Guinea at 3 am and Omu would be there.

    Omu,

    Good job projecting. How many gangs of Sarah Palin supporters vandalized gay hangouts? None.
    On a personal note, How many people who you disagree are you friends with? You mistake a heartfelt disagreement as hate. Where is your tolerance?

    OMU,, how you can accuse conservatives of not caring for the living. This is like rather hate speeech isn’t it? Would you favor POST BIRTH ABORTION lke say up to two years after the birth? This would give the mother more choices incase she was offered a great job and her baby would be in the way. What do you think of that. Further more the Lord refers to prebirth babies as having souls and He knows them personally. I would hate to be in your place on Judgement Day.

    Don’t use religion to justify anything. If you want to believe in something illogical and for which there is no proof, so be it. Don’t make laws based on that nonsense, though.

    Social conservatives pretend that they are “pro-life”, but really, you’re not.”

    You are doing what most liberals do; redefining what something means in order to support your agenda/worldview. Pathetic.

    “Just look at how you treat the living.”

    I treat everyone as equals. Every last one of us have the ability to succeed/fail in life.

    “You tell your gay fellow human beings that they are disgusting and unwelcome.”

    I don’t have a problem with homosexuals. My brother is homosexual. He spent Thanksgiving at my house with his friend, whom we welcomed into our home with arms wide open.

    “You try to stop welfare to help out the less fortunate among your fellow living human beings.”

    Welfare is just another form of slavery; only difference is that the “massa” is the government and it’ll only cost you your self worth, and lifetime voting Democrat.

    “You try to stop universal healthcare to help you fellow humans when they are sick or in pain.”

    For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10

    WILL not work, not CANNOT work. Big difference. This too can be applied to healthcare.

    “You’re not really pro-life, not at all.”

    By that same token you’re not really tolerant or inclusive.

    That YOU used a word whose meaning you choose to IGNORE, well, just shows how uneducated YOU really are.

    BOTTOM LINE, because abortion ends the LIFE of a FETUS, (Latin for BABY) mean it is murder.

    How are homosexuals “second class citizens” if they can vote, own property, attend whatever college they want, shop in the same stores as everyone else, and use the same facilities and water fountains as everyone else?

    It doesn’t reason, it justifies its behavior. It wants unrestrained sexual escapades with no consequences. Any unfortunate natural consequences should be taken care of by a great medical staff, paid for by you.
