Donate to help which victims?
Such thoughtful people.... are they thinking of the people there? Or their CLINICS there?
After 9/11, they helped women by giving away free abortions and morning after pills for a time......
Now they ask for money to help Katrina victims...?????? Are they not just the most thoughtful people?
I put the url link to the page referred to in both the title and in the article below:
Planned Parenthood Continues to Exploit Hurricane Katrina Victims
by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor September 7, 2005
New Orleans, LA (LifeNews.com) -- Pro-life advocates say Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business, continues to exploit victims of Hurricane Katrina. The organization previously said it would provide morning after pills to victims, instead of food or shelter, and is now raising money off of the hurricane for its local abortion centers.
On its national web site, Planned Parenthood solicits funds for Hurricane Katrina support efforts. In fine print, the abortion advocacy group explains that all of the money raised will be used to support its local abortion businesses.
Under a headline "Help Those Affected by the Hurricane," Planned Parenthood admits that "100% of your tax-deductible contribution will go directly to helping Planned Parenthood affiliates."
"Your support is particularly important right now because Planned Parenthood is facing a truly tremendous number of challenges in the courtrooms, in Washington, D.C., and in our clinics," the abortion business says on the hurricane donation page.
Jim Sedlak, executive director of STOPP International, a group that monitors Planned Parenthood, called on the federal and state governments to end any taxpayer funding for it.
"By exploiting the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina for its own financial gain over the last 10 days, Planned Parenthood has shown that it is a calculating, callous organization undeserving of any public support," Sedlak said.
Sedlak said Planned Parenthood has been the recipient of more than $3.6 billion in taxpayer funds since 1987 and has current assets in excess of half a billion dollars.
"America is in the grips of what could be the worst natural disaster in its history, and all Planned Parenthood can think of is how to get its hands on the money pouring in for rescue operations," Sedlak added.
Planned Parenthood came under fire shortly after the hurricane when it said it would provide morning after pills, which sometimes cause abortions, to victims of the hurricane instead of food or shelter.
"As Hurricane Katrina ripped through the southeastern United States, Planned Parenthood was there to offer one free month of birth control or one free emergency contraception kit to women from Louisiana and Mississippi," Planned Parenthood Federation of America interim president Karen Pearl wrote to donors and supporters.
As a result of Planned Parenthood's actions related to the hurricane, STOPP is calling on all public officials in this country "to immediately turn off the spigot of tax dollars to Planned Parenthood" by cutting funding for it through Title X and Medicaid reimbursements
"In the case of Planned Parenthood, the aftermath of Katrina has revealed the true nature of an organization that at its core is much more concerned with profit than health care," Sedlak concluded.

My reading skills are probably better than yours are. I am very familiar with what PP does and what it stands for. And I did read further. I read almost their entire website before I put one word on my blog.
They offered free abortions after 9/11 in NYC. They are simply looking out for themselves and their clinics.
Quote:
"Anyone who would read these things and not understand what Planned Parenthood means, has very questionable reading comprehension skills."
When the urgent need of the people is food and water, shelter, etc... and anyone is asking for contributions to aid VICTIMS, but one agency is asking for money for their business to provide 'services' which are not basic necessities, it is looking for their own needs, not the needs of the people.
Quote:
"You obvious didn't understand what I was saying."
"By the way, there is a difference between reading skills, and reading comprehension skills. "
See the quote above. You most certainly did. And you have now also commented on comprehension skills of a reader, which COULD be chosen as a statement about that.
While you said nothing about 9/11, I did, to illustrate how the money could/would be used to 'help' those in 'need'.
As for bias, it is very clear to anyone who reads my blog that life is precious from the moment of conception (not implantation, not birth, not 'assisted death'). So it is very easy for you to say that I came with a biased view. However, that goes both ways. Your statements above indicate that I either did not read or understand what I read, or both.
I understood completely what the PP website was saying. They are not going to provide food, water, shelter for any of the people in the area. They are going to provide their 'services', which are both contraception and abortion. They are asking for money for their clinics, not for those in need of basic life necessities.
I have a real problem with inference and innuendo as the three quotes above that are then later denied. The three comments above are exactly what you said.
And they were comprehended exactly as they were written.
