Planned Parenthood Gets Caught
In Another
Horrifying BIG LIE!
-
The fight to DE-FUND Planned Parenthood
recently took a bizarre turn!
-
Undercover exposé catches Planned Parenthood
President Cecile
Richards in a
BOLD-FACED LIE
on national television!
-
Here’s
what you can do to apply even more
pressure to Planned Parenthood’s sinking ship!
My jaw dropped when I first saw the video that exposes Planned
Parenthood’s latest LIE in its desperate fight for survival via
federal funding.
It shouldn’t have come as any surprise to me, actually. We know they
lie all the time to cover up their crimes and indiscretions.
But to hear the actual tape-recorded
statements by
Planned Parenthood employees across America -- essentially
pounding nails into their own coffin -- was truly shocking. And very powerful.
Now we need to use that
video to deliver a final “knock out” punch to Planned
Parenthood.
Here’s what it’s all about…
Not long ago – on the Joy
Behar Show (which
reaches hundreds of thousands of women with every episode) –
Planned Parenthood President Cecile
Richards emphatically
complained that cutting off the $350
MILLION A YEAR which
Planned Parenthood receives from the Federal Government (a.k.a.
the U.S. Taxpayer) would harm “millions
of women” who are merely coming to Planned Parenthood “not for
abortions” (she says) but for “access to basic health care such
as mammograms…”
Hmmmm. Mammograms, eh? That’s what
Planned Parenthood is all about? Not abortions???
This didn’t sound right to the brave young pro-life activists at Live
Action, a dynamic cutting-edge group led by Lila
Rose, whose specialty is recording (by audio and video) the
actual unguarded
statements made
by Planned Parenthood staffers to prospective “patients.”
(Incidentally, Priests for Life, which has also helped other
undercover projects exposing Planned Parenthood over the years,
has encouraged and mentored Lila Rose over the years, as well as
others doing similar work.)
The Live Action crew sprung into action after Cecile Richards’
display of “crocodile tears” on the Joy Behar Show.
To put it simply, they had a young woman call Planned Parenthood
offices all
around the country and
ask them if she could come in for a mammogram.
The shocking revelation is that Planned Parenthood doesn’t
provide mammograms!!!
Best of all, each one of these phone conversations was
TAPE-RECORDED and then put together in a short but powerful
video that I would like you to watch when you finish reading
this Alert -- so you can see and hear for yourself that we’re
not making this up.
Rather, Cecile
Richards is the
one who’s making up this lame excuse for why Planned Parenthood
shouldn’t have one
thin dime cut
from its federally-funded largesse of more than $350
Million a year!
Let me give you a brief sample of what was discovered on these
phone calls…
Planned Parenthood of Georgetown: “We do not provide
mammograms… We don’t deal with the health side so much. We’re
mostly a surgical facility.” (I
think you know what that means!
-- Father Frank)
Planned Parenthood of Midtown Indianapolis: CALLER: “Do you
provide mammograms?”
STAFFER: “We don’t here…”
Planned Parenthood of Washington, D.C.: “Unfortunately, we
do not offer mammograms.”
Planned Parenthood of Atlanta, GA: CALLER: “Does Planned
Parenthood provide mammograms of some sort? STAFFER: “We do
not.”
Planned Parenthood of St. Louis, MO: CALLER: “Does Planned
Parenthood provide mammograms?”
STAFFER: “We don’t.”
Planned Parenthood of Perth Amboy, NJ: “We don’t do
mammograms here.”
Planned Parenthood of New York City, NY: “We don’t offer
mammograms.”
Planned Parenthood of Lincoln, NE: CALLER: “Do you provide
mammograms?”
STAFFER: “No, I’m sorry. We don’t.”
Planned Parenthood of Tucson, AZ: CALLER: “Does Planned
Parenthood provide mammograms?”
STAFFER: “We don’t provide those services whatsoever.”
And my personal favorite…
Planned Parenthood of Memphis, TN: “No, ma’am. We sure
don’t. You can try Christ Community Service.”
Shocking, isn’t it?
Well, it’s all because Planned Parenthood is against the ropes.
They’ve recently been caught in scandal
after scandal --
such as “coaching” an undercover
Live Action team (on
hidden video, posing as pimps and underage prostitutes) on how
to get around the law if
the girls become pregnant and need abortions!
And now that they face the very real possibility
of having their funding cut
off by Congress,
it’s no
wonderPlanned Parenthood has launched a multi-million-dollar
“PR” campaign to prop up its sagging, tarnished image!
Why, just last year, they spent over $104
Million on
fundraising and public policy!
The $350+ Million a year they receive from U.S. taxpayers
represents fully one-third of
their total budget. That’s huge! Ask any business owner if he or
she could sustain a
33% “hit” to
their bottom line, overnight.The
answer is NO.
Planned Parenthood would be out
of business in no time if
they didn’t have that $350+ Million -- FREE
MONEY, by the way -- coming
into their coffers every year so they can carry out their
lucrative baby-killing business.
Incidentally, to show you just how much malarkey is coming out
of the mouths of Planned Parenthood’s “spin doctors” these days,
take a look at this pie chart from our good friends at American
Life League. It
reveals that the overwhelming majority of Planned Parenthood’s
pregnancy services consists of performingabortions.
The facts show that, for the years 2008 and 2009, Planned
Parenthood performed more than 650,000
abortions! (The
numbers aren’t available yet for 2010, but they typically
average more than 300,000+
abortions per year.)
Now, abortions are expensive --
and Planned Parenthood gets its abortion services subsidized by
that $350 Million a year from the federal government. You see,
according to Abby
Johnson -- a
former Planned Parenthood staffer and clinic director for eight
years, as well as Planned Parenthood’s 2008 Employee of the Year
-- all the
money Planned Parenthood receives is lumped into one pot.
It isn’t separated or “set aside” in different accounts for
specific services, as they insidiously claim.
They’re in the abortion
business, plain and simple.
Abby Johnson writes: “As
a Planned Parenthood clinic manager, I was directed to double the
number of abortions our clinic performed in order to drive up revenue.
In keeping with that goal, Planned Parenthood headquarters
recently issued a directive mandating that all of
its affiliates provide abortions by 2013.”
So, despite Cecile Richards’ deceptive claims that millions of
women will be “hurt” if they can’t come to Planned Parenthood
for these phantom “mammograms” (which they apparently don’t even
provide), de-funding Planned
Parenthood will definitely hurt their abortion
business.
And that’s what they really care
about. They don’t care about women. They care about MONEY and
their diabolical, blood-thirsty drive to kill
babies -- and
then make YOU pay for it!
But, at last, we have a chance to put a stop to all that.
Congress is seriously considering a
swift termination of
Planned Parenthood’s federal funding. And with the budget
crisis, the deficit, the out-of-control National Debt, etc. --
Washington is more
sensitive than ever to
finding ways to cut needless spending.
The budget battle is raging, even as I write this. And it’s
anybody’s guess what will happen in the next few days.
We know that Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid is rabidly opposed
to ANY cuts in Planned Parenthood’s cushy taxpayer-provided
subsidies. He said he would rather shut
down the federal
government than allow any cuts to Planned Parenthood.
He means it, too! And
he has the power to control the Senate, whereas the pro-lifers
in the House want Planned Parenthood’s “cash cow” put out to
pasture as soon as possible!
Nevertheless, there is something
that you and I can do in
the meantime while
the war is waged in Washington.
You see, the one thing
Planned Parenthood can’t
stand is to have
its well-manicured “image” tarnished in any way. They’ve worked
long and hard -- and spent millions
of dollars --
trying to “look good” in the public eye.
They DON’T
want to be known as
baby-killers.
Rather, they want to be the “friend” whom teenagers and young
adults can turn to for “reproductive health”… “education”…
“testing”… “counseling” … “disease prevention”… “screenings”…
and, of course, don’t forget all those “mammograms”!!!
So here’s what I propose…
I invite you to join me and tens
of thousands of
your fellow pro-lifers who are reading this Alert right now tosend
an instant e-mail to
Planned Parenthood’s President, Cecile
Richards.
We happen to have her
direct, personal e-mail address at
Planned Parenthood headquarters in New York City.
And so, with just the click of your mouse, you can give Ms.
Richards a piece of your mind. Tell her how you feel about her
outright lies about
mammograms on the recent Joy Behar Show. Tell her how you
watched the short video exposing the fact that Planned
Parenthood does NOT, in fact, provide mammograms. (I’ll give you
that link in a moment.)
Tell her you’re sick
and tired of
having to pay for abortions with
your hard-earned tax dollars.
And tell her that you are sharing all of
this infuriating information with everyone you know.
You see, even most Americans who may consider themselves
“pro-choice” or who are “on the fence” DO
NOT want to PAY for abortions!
The average American is taxed
to death as it
is. To have those taxes pay
for death is just
too much for most people.
With that said, here’s the link to a YouTube video that lets you see
and hear the
shocking exposé of Planned Parenthood’s “phantom mammograms”…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umI-gLEC6C8&NR=1
Be sure to watch it before it gets “pulled” by YouTube. They
often censor the pro-life message.
And then come right back here to this Alert so you can send an
e-mail to Cecile Richards.
For your convenience, we’ve
prepared an automatic e-mail that you can send today just
by clicking here.
And while you’re still on your computer, please be sure to forward this
Alert to everyone on your e-mail list.
The more people who find out the
truth about Planned Parenthood, the better our chances are
of de-fundingthis
Orwellian killing machine.
Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards wants everyone to
think she has a “halo” around her head -- when those are really horns.
I thank you in advance for your prompt action on this matter.
The sooner we expose Planned Parenthood anddemolish their false public
image, the
better!
Fr. Frank Pavone,
National Director
Priests for Life
P.S. Again,
all you need to do is click here, and you will be able
to send a strong e-mail to Cecile Richards in an instant.
It’s the easiest way to have the greatest impact on the enemy in
the shortest amount of time.
And don’t forget to forward
this e-mail to
everyone on your list. Thank you for caring, and may God
continue to bless you and your family during this holy season of
Lent, as well as the coming Resurrection of Our Lord.

I am happy to announce that
Cardinal Christoph
Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna, has officially
joined the Advisory Board of Bishops for Priests
for Life. As a recognized private Association
of the Faithful we are both national and
international in scope, and not under the
auspices of any one diocese. The priests
assigned to our ministry belong to a variety of
dioceses and religious congregations, and the
programs we operate function in dozens of
countries, the latest of which is Austria, where
Cardinal Schönborn has enthusiastically welcomed
our apostolate. The Advisory Board of Bishops
has functioned, since the start of Priests for
Life, as a resource for the organization to
facilitate communication with the bishops around
the world and to be a sounding board for advice
and encouragement.
Currently I am in Rome, having many meetings
with Vatican officials. They are all incredibly
supportive of the wide variety of projects our
Priests for Life Family is engaged in. Later in
the week I will be taking part in the General
Assembly of the Pontifical Academy for Life, of
which I am a member. Dr. Theresa Burke and Janet
Morana are also involved in that meeting, which
will discuss, in part, post-abortion trauma and
healing. Click
here for
more information.
In other matters, Priests for Life is helping to
lead the way to defund Planned Parenthood. Join
us in this effort by praying a Prayer to Defund
Planned Parenthood found at www.priestsforlife.org/novenas/defund-planned-parenthood-prayer.htm.
Sign up to let us know you will pray with us and
ask others to do the same!
Brand new episodes of my Defending
Life program
will begin on Thursday, March 3. Learn the
latest methods for protecting the unborn, and be
inspired by the Church’s teaching and the
example of pro-life warriors. See www.priestsforlife.org/defendinglife for
more details.
Starting on Friday, March 11, EWTN will air The
Catholic View for Women. Co-hosted by Janet
Morana of Priests for Life, Teresa Tomeo, and
Astrid Bennett Gutierrez, this program offers a
Catholic alternative to “The View,” and explores
the adventure of living as a Catholic woman
today. Details at www.TheCatholicViewForWomen.com.
March 31, 2011 marks the sixth anniversary of
the death of Terri Schiavo, the brain-injured
Florida woman who was killed by court-enforced
dehydration. Terri’s family, together with
Priests for Life, has prepared prayer resources
and other ways for you to observe this day and
help protect the vulnerable. Visit www.TerrisDay.org for
more information.
Finally, view my latest YouTube video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ7Eq9m15Vo.
In this video I am joined by our full-time
Pastoral Associate, Marie Smith, Director for
the Parliamentary Network for Critical Issues (PNCI)
as we discuss how PNCI works to fight abortion.
We also talk about the similarities and
differences in the fight against abortion from
place to place around the world. Visit www.PNCIUS.org for
more information on the PNCI.
After the Priests for Life March-April
newsletter, you will see our media schedule for
the week.

The Holy
Father has announced a worldwide
vigil of prayer for unborn children and
invites your participation!
On Saturday evening, November 27, I will
join him in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome
for an evening prayer service that will
begin the season of Advent. During that
prayer service, he will lift up in
prayer all the children living in the
womb, and call God’s protection on them.
The Pope has invited all the bishops of
the world to join in this event by
having their own prayer services.
But, of course, when he invites the
bishops to do so, that is simply a way
of inviting all of us to do
so.
And so, whether your diocese or parish
is having a special vigil or not, I
invite you to join with me, and with the
Holy Father, in praying for the
protection of all children in the womb
and for an end to abortion worldwide!
I ask you, furthermore, to continue this
prayer throughout Advent, using the
special prayer we will provide for you.
You can also send me your special prayer
intentions, both related to pro-life and
to any other concern, and I will bring
those intentions with me when I travel
to Rome next week to take part in this
historic event. I will remember those
intentions while I am praying with our
Holy Father at the tomb of St. Peter!
So here’s what I am urging you to do:
1. Go to
www.priestsforlife.org/novenas/advent-novena.htm
and sign up. Let me know you are saying
the Advent Prayer for Life, and leave
with me your prayer intentions to bring
to Rome!
2. Order your free copies of the Advent
Prayer Card on that same page. Ask your
pastor if he would hand them out at your
parish, and if he agrees, we will send
as many as he needs for all the
parishioners.
3. If you use Facebook, go also to
www.ProLifePrayers.com and join our
“Pray to End Abortion” cause, so that
you can join with tens of thousands of
others each day in well-informed prayer
for the pro-life cause.
4. Finally, pass this email along to
everyone on your email list who may be
interested in sending me their prayer
intentions and joining this great Advent
Prayer for Life!
One more thing – EWTN will broadcast the
Papal vigil live on Saturday, November
27 at 12 noon ET and will repeat it at
6pm ET. Be sure to tune in!
God bless you!
