Predators of Planned Parenthood, Pt. 99,997
The government-subsidized abortion racket is at it again — and undercover journalist Lila Rose and her Live Action team are exposing the Planned Parenthood predators in full effect.
The latest investigative video shows doctors and nurses in Appleton, WI advising a young girl that having an abortion is “much safer than having a baby.”
If Demcare passes, expect untold millions more of your tax dollars to be shoveled into this kind of abortion-first “counseling.” Take note of the thumb-fiddling by the ghoulish abortionist who’s been at it for 40 years:
In the undercover video, when the two women ask a Planned Parenthood counselor if the pregnant woman’s 10-week-old unborn child has a heartbeat, the counselor emphasizes “heart tones,” and answers, “Heart beat is when the fetus is active in the uterus–can survive–which is about seventeen or eighteen weeks.” On the contrary, embryologists agree that the heartbeat begins around 3 weeks. Wisconsin informed consent law requires that women receive medically accurate information before undergoing an abortion.
The counselor then says, “A fetus is what’s in the uterus right now. That is not a baby.” Dr. Polhaska, the abortion doctor, insists, “It’s not a baby at this stage or anything like that.” Polhaska also states that having an abortion will be “much safer than having a baby,” warning, “You know, women die having babies.”
The video comes one month after the widely reported resignation of Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson. Johnson left her leadership position at Planned Parenthood in Bryan, TX after watching a 13-week old fetus being aborted in her clinic on ultrasound. She said during a recent interview, “Planned Parenthood really tries to instill in their employees and the women that are coming in for abortions that this is not a baby.” In another interview, she noted, “They don’t want to talk about when your baby has a heartbeat,” because “they don’t want to give the woman information that could give her a connection with her baby.”
The investigation is organized by Live Action, a nonprofit student group. Lila Rose, the 21-year-old UCLA student and Live Action president, says medical lies and manipulative counseling are routine at Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion chain.
“They will do or say anything in order to sell more abortions to more women, whether it is covering up sexual abuse or lying to women about medical facts,” says Rose. “Our team has visited dozens of Planned Parenthood clinics undercover. Planned Parenthood, while claiming to support patient self-determination, operates with an ‘abortion-first mentality.’”
The video is the first in Live Action’s “Rosa Acuna Project,” a multi-state undercover audit documenting Planned Parenthood’s abortion counseling. Planned Parenthood has come under fire recently after Live Action’s investigations found them willing to conceal sexual abuse and accept donations targeted to abort African-Americans only. Videos of abuse cover-up prompted state investigations of Planned Parenthood and diversion of the abortion giant’s public subsidies.
“Planned Parenthood is a billion-dollar organization with nearly $350 million of government funding, and stands to gain hundreds of millions more from national health care,” says Rose. “Do we really want to subsidize an organization that gives women in need atrocious misinformation and predatory abortion practices?”

Steven Ertelt at LifeNews has the latest regarding Harry Reid’s Kabuki theater on abortion funding in the Demcare bill:
Now that the Senate has defeated the Nelson amendment, an authentic attempt to prohibit taxpayer funding of abortions in the government-run health care bill, pro-life advocates are concerned that Senate leader Harry Reid could use a manager’s amendment to insert phony language.
The amendment could also see authentic language included with the intent of removing it later in the legislative process.
Reid will likely sponsor a manager’s amendment at the end of the debate on the bill that would make several changes to it — including watering down the public option so he can get 60 votes to pass the pro-abortion legislation.
Reid will likely use the amendment as a way to get the much-needed vote of Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, the sponsor of the amendment to stop the abortion funding.
Nelson has said repeatedly he will filibuster the final bill if it keeps abortion funding, but Reid could insert phony language that placates Nelson enough without truly prohibiting the funding of hundreds of thousands of abortions.
Reid talked vaguely about that potential after the vote.
“If in fact he doesn’t succeed here, we’ll try something else,” Reid said of Nelson before the vote. “I’m happy to continue working with Sen. Nelson with the issue that is now on the floor.
Nelson said he still hopes there is a way to ban the abortion funding, but appeared to indicate he wasn’t sure what kind of language would do that short of his amendment.
“I had no Plan B,” Nelson said. “Maybe somebody else has a Plan B, but I don’t see that this is one where there’s really any room for compromise.”
Republican Senator Tom Coburn, a pr-life Oklahoma legislator, has already said he fears the manager’s amendment will be used to get the votes of Nelson and other lawmakers who may potentially vote against the bill.
He went as far as saying he thinks the Nelson amendment, (named as the Stupak amendment in the House) could appear in the bill to placate Nelson — only to see it removed during conference committee.

Because nobody has ever been injured by an abortion procedure, and you will definitely not be burdened with guilt for the rest of your life. Besides, who wants to be punished with a baby?
There’s a special place in Hell for ghouls like this.
Dr. Polhaska? I assume, is a cousin of Dr. Mengele.
The Democrats Party truly embraces and promotes a culture of Death. May God forgive them.
The United States is the most radical country on Earth as far as its insistence of defining unborn babies and “not human.” It is also the most radical with regard to limits as to when abortionists cannot legally perform it. All nations (except for the United States) have set limits that make abortions criminal if they are performed beyond a set time of “viability.”
So, as much as we have yet to follow Europe socially and economically, we are FAR ahead of Europe and everywhere else as far as where they would ever WANT to go with regard to abortion. The 21st century American “liberal” is closer in attitude and behavior to Adolf Eichmann than Hubert Humphrey.
Today’s “liberal” is utterly fanatical about abortion, and will go to any length to keep it going from conception through gestation. Any attempt to even make it a matter of states constitutionally deciding upon it is met with insane Democrats screaming about “their bodies” and “rights.”
And, Barack Obowma LOVES Planned Parenthood.
I saw a segment on CNNs Anderson 360 where he was touring an abortion clinic and talking with someone there, I don’t know if she was a doctor or just an administrator.
He asked her if this health care reform would increase the number of abortions. She choked out something like no, what it would do is help women have the abortion earlier since they wouldn’t have to save up the money to pay for it themselves.
Lies, lies and more damn lies from these followers of the father of lies.
Monstrous.
I’d be interested to see a nurse or a doctor go undercover to get a job at Planned Parenthood so we can get a look at what their training and orientation is like – what they say behind closed doors and how they want their workers to present what is said to potential patients.
Planned Parenthood sounds soooo warm and fuzzy!!
Other options:
Fetus Removal Clinic
Statutory Rape Decriminalization Center
Demons Without Borders
Devils, Inc
Wow–this clinic is right in my hometown of Appleton. I’ve worked at the pregnancy crisis center right across the street from PP. How appalling.
I’m sure the baby would disagree. But, then again, they don’t care what the baby thinks.
As abhorrent as I find abortion to be I can’t necessarily advocate outlawing the procedure. Keep it legal so it can be performed by qualified people in safe and clean conditions. I cannont, however, support the use of Federal funds to pay for the procedure just as I wouldn’t support Federal funds pay for face lifts or hair implants. In most cases abortion is performed as a convenience. What I would support are groups such as MoveOn, ACORN, or the NAACP funding abortions. I mean what the heck, it’s mostly their fellow travelers that are getting abortions anyway. Let them pay for culling the herd.
So a fetus (baby) only has heart tones. What kind of crap is this?!
America is so great now isn’t it?
Don’t have a baby kill it, after all its not a baby and having a baby will kill you!
DON’T DRIVE DON’T DO ANYTHING WITH CO2 IT HURTS MOTHER EARTH! Just die see frees up more land for mother earth and bean fields for our over priced drinks.
All Amerikkka’s wars were evil and wrong, WW2 was propaganda, whitey is the cause of injustice!
Don’t worry with health care, well use your taxes to pay for EVERYONE’s and who cares if doctors and insurance will be more, I mean hey not like we could regulate pricing and stop stupid law suits to lower prices. That would be anti socialist.
There are no Gangs or terrorists, only troubled people who would love us if we love them.
I’m sick of hearing crap like this…How long till we get a multi cultured pc friendly pledge? Oh wait that would be nationalist, we can’t have that in the NWO.
“Dr. Polhaska” is not a name that I can locate in the Wisconsin physician’s look up website. Or anywhere on google for that matter. Is there an alternate spelling? Just curious because I wanted to see his credentials.
I’m a believer in what James Taranto calls “The Roe Effect:” the reason why abortion-on-demand is losing favor in this country is because most of the 40+ million souls wiped out since Roe v. Wade would have been future liberals.
One of my moonbat sisters is a classic example: she’s childless and a veteran of 2 abortions, precluded lives that under her malign influence would no doubt have grown up to become little moonbats themselves. That’s 2 less that we have to contend with today.
Sis is too old to have kids now, but she has already performed her patriotic duty to her country: she didn’t breed.
I have no problem with liberals killing their own; let them slaughter their future in the womb to their hearts’ content. Heck, taxpayer funds spent helping them to accomplish this public good would be a bargain compared to the damage their offspring would do if they grew up to become voters.
Democrats are evil. That they kill their spawn in such huge numbers is the only thing keeping the culture war going. If the collectivist orcs were not slaughtering their own, we would have been overwhelmed long ago.
I will not help pay for someone to kill their baby…ever! If this is in the bill, and it passes, you can be sure there will be a massive tax revolt!! And I will do every thing I can to help stop these corrupt, evil murderers.
It is too bad she had to resort to killing a human being. Good birth control could have prevented that. But since it is already done, please thank your Sis on behalf of conservatives everywhere!!
Are there no depths to which they’ll stoop? I think I’m gonna throw up!
Really? Assuming you don’t rip it tiny limb from tiny limb or burn it until it stops moving, what will it become? A giraffe? A rock? Will it become a flower? Or perhaps a dinosaur?
I don’t think so. Pretty sure it’ll be a baby. The fact its at an earlier stage of life doesn’t change anything.
That type of thinking is the only way I stay sane when dirtbag parents murder their born children – that the kids would have no doubt grown up to be dirtbags too. SAD
Isn’t there a precedent for not being taxed for something that is against your personal, religiously based morality? Chappy? Can you lend me your professional expertise?
When religious organizations ran the orphanages and took in children, no questions asked, many of them grew up to be productive and occasionally, exceptional people. Those stories should be told.
The problems we have with Medi-Care can be related directly to our abortion numbers. If the millions of aborted children had been allowed to live and grow they would be the new generation paying into Medi-Care right now and although those moneys were never put into the “lock box” as they should have been, our Medi-Care would be a lot closer to being able to pay for itself instead of being bankrupt as it is now. IMHO
Hey, jacka**: Women die from abortions.
They would have had you as a relative, who may have led them down the right path. These were two lives lost, who should not have been – despite their mother’s political proclivities.
The spin of a desperate class of people who get their jollies killing unborn children; the “lump of tissue” argument dressed up to sound scientific.
When I was pregnant with my sons, every appointment after the first included listening to the baby’s heartbeat. Not tones.
Which is why when the likes of Planned Barrenhood want crisis pregnancy centers to post signs saying they don’t provide contraception/abortion services, I think we should capitalize on it. Tell women we won’t lie to them to get them to the abortuary, but that we’ll help them deliver their child with love and compassion.
To say that a fetus is not a baby because of his early stage of development is tantamount to saying a newborn baby is not a human because of his early stage of development.
It’s a crap argument, and they know it. That not-a-baby-a-fetus will continue to develop and grow for the full length of his normal lifespan.
The intellectual argument against giving human rights to fetuses involves the development of the human brain. There is no practical way to draw a line as to when a developing fetus’s brain becomes a functional human brain, and so since the socially useful place to draw the line is at birth, that is where it is drawn for most legal purposes.
When a grown human’s brain stops being functional, it is called brain death, and the person is no longer considered to be alive. So they are being intellectually consistent.
I do not agree with this argument (at least not drawing the line at the socially useful place). My point is they do not know it is a “crap argument.” They really believe it.
When pro-life advocates pound on the bible or talk about brainless embryos being human beings with full human rights, the pro-abortion crowd becomes certain they are right. Those arguments are crap arguments that contribute nothing to the debate.
