Protest At Evansville Planned Parenthood Facility On August 22 Warns: “Planned Parenthood Sells Baby Parts”

59

PRESS RELEASE FROM RIGHT TO LIFE OF SOUTHWEST IN.

 In light of recent revelations that Planned Parenthood has been harvesting and selling aborted baby parts, Right to Life of Southwest IN and concerned citizens of southwest Indiana are calling for a protest at the Planned Parenthood facility at 125 N. Weinbach Ave. in Evansvilleon August 22 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. This effort is part of a National Day of Protest taking place at Planned Parenthood offices and abortion facilities all across the United States (http://www.protestpp.com) to raise awareness about Planned Parenthood’s trafficking of aborted baby parts.

Undercover videos (see links below) released by the Center for Medical Progress reveal that Planned Parenthood abortion clinics, with the sanction of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, are involved in the harvesting of body parts of unborn children aborted in their facilities and profiting from their sale contrary to federal laws prohibiting such practices. The videos show high-level Planned Parenthood executives haggling over the prices of fetal specimens. The videos also raise ethical questions about the exploitation of unborn children for financial gain and risks to womenÂ’s health if abortion procedures are altered solely to procure more profitable specimens.

As a consequence of this public scandal, several states have initiated investigations of Planned Parenthood and legislation has been introduced in Congress to defund the abortion giant. Planned Parenthood currently receives over $500 million in taxpayer funding annually.

WHO: Right to Life of Southwest IN & Concerned citizens of Southwest Indiana

WHAT: Press conference, prayer vigil and protest signs calling attention to PP’s baby parts trafficking

WHERE: Planned Parenthood, 125 N. Weinbach Ave, Evansville, IN

WHEN: August 22, 2015 from 9:00 a.m. to11:00 a.m.

The ProtestPP.com coalition is headed by Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Created Equal, 40 Days for Life and the Pro-Life Action League, and is co-sponsored by fifty state and national pro-life organizations.

Local spokesperson Mary Ellen Van Dyke said:

“All politics is local. We cannot only look to Washington, DC and our state governments to solve this problem. Planned Parenthood is located in large and small communities all across America. Each community with a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic or satellite office needs to take action against the killing of babies and the trafficking of their body parts. Concerned local citizens from southwest Indiana will be sending the message that it’s well past time for Planned Parenthood to be run out of town!”

TO FUND A QUARTERMASTER PROGRAM OR NOT

0

In 2007 then Fire Chief Ken Zuber received  a Grant well in excess of $300,000 to help jump start a Quartermaster system. This grant was not even close to the money needed for this program.  Since Chief Zuber wasn’t able to get any extra funding from the city he chose to buy turn out gear for most of the fire departments suppression firefighters.

In 2012 newly elected City Councilman and City Fireman Al Lindsey approached the local Fire Fighters Union #357 Executive Board about funding new Extractors and Dryers for the fire stations that didn’t have these machines. The Board approached Chief Connelly with a request for a funding of new Extractors and Dryers. The Board came back with an amount of $155,000.00 amount given them by Fire Chief Mike Connelly.

Mr. Lindsey took this figure to members of the City Council for funding. The Fire Department main selling point for this equipment was to protect the future health of Firefighters by decreasing the possibility contracting cancer due to the carcinogens in their fire gear after each fire. The City Council voted to give the money to the Chief Connelly and he agreed to comply with Council’s request.

After several months of no activity Councilman Adams was informed that there was no movement by the Fire Chief  to the installed machines at the Fire Stations. Adams contacted the Chief and ask him to come to Council and update them. Chief Connelly informed Council that he underestimated the costs of the Extractors and Dryers and that the he guesstimated that the new cost was now over $300,000. He told Council they he has come up with an alternate plan to purchase the Extractors and Dryers within the original $155,000 budget.

The new plan was to put machines in the Administration Building and he claimed this would handle all cleaning of the Fire Fighters gear and would conform with OSHA reporting standards. Fire Fighters Local Union #357 President Larry Zuber and a small group of supporters from the Fire Department rank and file also came and supported Chief Connelly’s new plan.

The Administration effectively lobbied City Councilman Dr, Dan Adams  and Dan McGinn which turned out to be the key votes needed to approve the Fire Chief plan.  We now hear that around $30,000 to $40,000 of the money was spent on actual purchase of machines but about $75,000 was spent for a storage room built inside the Administration Building.  We also hear that now every firefighter turn out gear are cleaned professionally.

We now hear that Chief Connelly has another idea for City Council to consider. Connelly is asking Council for about $600,000 plus to implement a Quartermaster program. We hear that the startup costs associated with the Quartermaster program is extremely expensive and never ending. Whats interesting about Connelly’s new proposal concerning the Quartermaster program is now a contract issue with Fire Fighters local #357 and the City.  Some Fire Fighters are telling us that the money for this system could have been used for badly needed equipment and Fire Trucks.

Bottom line, if the majority of the City Council members would had heeded Councilman Al Lindsey advice and warnings this wouldn’t be an expensive 2016 Budget issue.   It looks like City Council now has a new $600,000 plus budgetary elephant in the room to deal with.
