There’s Snow Excuse for Planned Parenthood
(from Tony Perkins’ Washington Update – www.frc.org)
Location, location, location. It’s not just the mantra of real estate agents but of the pro-abortion movement. As far as Planned Parenthood is concerned, where you’re born ought to determine if you live. In a sickening testimony before the Florida legislature, a representative of Cecile Richards’s group actually argued that a baby born alive on an abortion clinic table doesn’t have the same rights as a baby born in a delivery room. Medical care is only for wanted children, Planned Parenthood lobbyist Alisa LaPolt Snow argued to leaders. Helping a newborn who’s survived a botched abortion “inserts politics where it doesn’t belong,” Snow insisted, before suggesting that infanticide is part of “a woman’s ability to make her own personal medical decisions.” (See the video for yourself, starting at the 39-minute mark, here.)
Snow’s jaw-dropping statements were part of a Florida House debate over a state Infants Born Alive Act, which was introduced by a doctor specializing in emergency medicine. Snow, who is a lobbyist for the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, stunned state leaders when she argued for a right to “post-birth abortion.”
“So, um, it is just really hard for me to even ask you this question because I’m almost in disbelief,” said Rep. Jim Boyd. “If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child who is struggling for life?” Without even blinking, Snow replied, “We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician.” “What happens,” Boyd fired back, “in a situation where a baby is alive, breathing on a table, moving. What do your physicians do at that point?” “I do not have that information,” Snow said. “I am not a physician. I am not an abortion provider.”
When Rep. Jose Oliva asked her to restate Planned Parenthood’s position, Snow repeated, “The decision should be between the patient and the health care provider.” “I think at that point,” Oliva pushed, “the patient would be the child struggling on the table, wouldn’t you agree?” Snow did not. Instead, she mumbled, “Uh, that’s a very good question. العاب تربح اموال حقيقية I really don’t know how to answer that.”
State Rep. Mike Clelland, a Democrat, was astonished. “I’ve been pro-choice my whole life, and I can’t think of a more sensible bill in this regard.” “Does Planned Parenthood have an objection,” he asked, “to a doctor being obligated to provide advanced life support in an abortion clinic setting to a child born alive? I mean, I guess you do or you wouldn’t be here, right?”
Rep. Ross Spano, who said Planned Parenthood’s policy “makes me sick to my stomach, frankly,” just shook his head. “…[I]f we can’t take a stand to protect the most vulnerable, God forbid who we are and where we’re headed.” Where we’re headed, warns bioethicist Wesley Smith, is a world where “If a baby born during a botched abortion can be killed, why not also an unwanted baby…?”
Meanwhile, if you’re wondering who could possibly oppose something like born-alive protections, try our current President. In the greatest of ironies, the man known for the largest expansion of health care fought to deny it from tiny children as a member of the Illinois state senate. Barack Obama (who once referred to babies as “punishment”) voted three times against a similar bill to save children who survived abortions.
Unfortunately, this “they’re only alive when we say they are” philosophy is not new for Planned Parenthood–and they’re well compensated by taxpayers for their radicalism. مواقع القمار العالمية According to Planned Parenthood’s most recent IRS report, its President Cecile Richards rakes in a taxpayer-subsidized salary of over a half-million dollars per year. Keep that in mind the next time you hear Planned Parenthood advocating against parental involvement laws, opposing statutory rape reporting, begging for more government funding, or testifying that a baby born alive is still a “choice” women deserve to make. ربح مال حقيقي من النت

Quotable Quote
“The farce that is the Supreme Court of the United States has now taken up a new cause: same-sex marriage. To push that cause, the anti-Constitutional members of the Supreme Court prepared to declare that the federal government cannot define marriage for the purpose of federal benefits under the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). This is the same Supreme Court that declared last year that the federal government can force individuals to buy health insurance. To simplify, then: The federal government can’t define how federal cash gets spent, but it can define how your cash gets spent. There is no logical principle that undergirds any of this.” columnist Ben Shapiro
