Arkansas Right To Life Addresses Planned Parenthood Mega Merger
Imagine: A young woman, pregnant, scared and confused, sitting in front of a computer screen somewhere in Small Town, Arkansas being interviewed by an abortion doctor in Sioux City, Iowa who will push a button to release the chemicals for the woman to self-administer that will kill her unborn child.
"I’ve just described a webcam abortion --- coming to your town soon." - Rose Mimms, Director ARTL
Planned Parenthood of Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma is scheduled to merge on January 1, 2012, with the Des Moines-based Planned Parenthood of the Heartland – a move that will likely expand abortions in the state and bring webcam abortions to the region.
Rose Mimms, Arkansas Right to Life (ARTL) Executive Director, Wayne Mays, Arkansas Right to Life President and Carol Tobias, National Right to Life President met last week in Springdale, AR and shared their concerns about what this means to women and unborn children in Arkansas.
The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of 50 state right-to-life organizations and more than 3,000 local chapters nationwide, is the nation's largest and oldest pro-life group. National Right to Life works through legislation and education to protect those threatened by abortion, infanticide, euthanasia and assisted suicide.
Rose Mimms initiated her comments by describing a webcam abortion and said "This giant affiliate of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America has already overtaken most of the Planned Parenthood clinics in Iowa and recently acquired those in Nebraska and now we learn that they intend to take over Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma clinics in January.
We know from their past experience that their “plan” includes mega-clinics and the expansion of webcam abortions. With this merger, we can expect this to happen in Arkansas."
Mimms detailed some historical fact about Arkansas Right (ARTL) to Life:
Arkansas Right to Life plans to organize resistance to any plan to build a mega clinic in Arkansas cities. ARTL believes that "Planned Parenthood is desperate and scrambling to survive in Arkansas."
Mimms shared that she believes that "Abortion by web cam is the hope and future of Planned Parenthood, granting them the access and availability that they have sought for the last 38 years of legal abortion --- all at the expense of the lives of women and their unborn children."
The heart of Arkansas beats for Life and Arkansas Right to Life will work to protect the women and children of Arkansas against the insidious plans of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland.
Carol Tobias, National Right to Life President, said, "The Planned Parenthood Federation of America has carefully crafted a public image as a protector of women’s health. What people need to understand is that Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion chain in America. Planned Parenthood is fully in the abortion business and its bottom line depends on performing more and more abortions."
According to the 2008-2009 Annual Report for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), Planned Parenthood affiliates performed 332,278 abortions in 2009, which represents about 27.4 percent of all abortions performed in the United States. Those 332,278 abortions were over twice the number that Planned Parenthood affiliates performed in 1998, even as the total number of abortions performed in the United States dropped 25 percent during that period.
Tobias said that "Planned Parenthood misleadingly claims that abortion represents only 3 percent of its services. But in order to make abortion seem like a small part of what it does, Planned Parenthood lists every “service” it does equally. If a woman comes in for an abortion, she may also receive a pregnancy test, an Rh type test, an ultrasound, an antibiotic, a pack of birth control pills, a prescription for “the morning after pill,” and “other tests as needed.” So, statistically, the abortion is dwarfed by the five or six other services provided, even though the abortion is the reason the woman came to Planned Parenthood.
"In fact, 12 percent of Planned Parenthood clients receive abortion services, according to a February 2011 Planned Parenthood factsheet. Therefore, nearly one out of every eight women walking through the door of a Planned Parenthood clinic has an abortion. We do know that of the services Planned Parenthood reported that would have involved pregnant women (abortion, prenatal care, adoption referrals) 97.6 percent were for abortion.
"Planned Parenthood often argues that increased funding will enable it to reduce the number of abortions, but its own annual reports don’t seem to show that. It has an annual income of more than $1 billion. Roughly 1/3 of that comes from federal, state, and local governments. The amount of funding that Planned Parenthood has gotten from different government bodies has been increasing steadily over the past several years, more than doubling since 1998, but abortions done at Planned Parenthood have not gone down. In fact, they have increased dramatically during that same period, rising at a rate that very nearly matches the rate of those funding increases."
The amount of revenue that Planned Parenthood receives from “Government Grants & Contracts” has increased from $165 million in 1998 to $363.3 million in their fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. During the same time, and at roughly the same rate, abortions have more than doubled at Planned Parenthood, from 165,509 in 1998 to 332,278 in 2009. When asked if this increase in government funding led to more abortions, Tobias responded, "Perhaps it wasn’t the cause, but all those additional government dollars certainly didn’t seem to impede Planned Parenthood’s ability to garner an ever increasing share of the shrinking pie of abortion customers."
Tobias concluded with the following surprising information, "Even though PPFA has already doubled the number of abortions performed at its clinics over the past dozen years, the national headquarters has mandated that every affiliate have at least one abortion-performing center by the end of 2013. According to an article in the December 20, 2010, Corpus Christi Caller Times, Family Planning of the Coastal Bend decided to drop its affiliation with PPFA rather than perform abortions.
As pointed out earlier, Planned Parenthood is offering RU486 “webcam” abortions. In 2000 when the FDA approved RU486 for use in the United States, it established a protocol that specified that RU486 was supposed to be administered “under the supervision of a qualified physician.” Planned Parenthood’s massive Midwestern affiliate, Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, is either ignoring or is interpreting this to mean only that a physician be involved somewhere in the process, even if it is only at the other end of closed-circuit computer screen a hundred miles away, or more."
Every abortion stops a beating heart. Imagine: That same young woman, writhing in pain, bleeding heavily, scared and severely ill, for days ---- maybe weeks. Then after taking the last set of chemicals, and enduring more pain and bleeding, finally completes the abortion and witnesses the tiny child, her child ---- dead in the toilet.
OR imagine that same young woman, experiencing the exact same symptoms yet unable to complete the abortion and needing a surgical abortion. --- OR imagine that same young woman experiencing the exact same symptoms but this time it’s from deadly complications that endanger her own life.
Remember --- the doctor is in Sioux City, Iowa. --- She’s on her own.

Mimms detailed some historical fact about Arkansas Right (ARTL) to Life:
In 1998, Arkansas Right to Life led the opposition that was successful in stopping Planned Parenthood from expanding services in North Little Rock after they received a $20,000 grant from the North Little Rock City Council. After enormous pro-life pressure the board rescinded the grant and Planned Parenthood abandoned their plan.Mimms discussed chemical web cam abortion, "ARTL will do everything we possibly can to educate the public of the dangers of the chemical web cam abortion procedure and the activities of Planned Parenthood. To date at least a dozen women have died after taking this powerful chemical cocktail and many more have suffered serious complications. Arkansas Right to Life has drafted legislation and lined up sponsors that will ban the web cam abortion procedure in Arkansas."
Ten years later, in 2008 ARTL conducted an educational campaign to stop Planned Parenthood from expanding services in Hot Springs after a Planned Parenthood action board called Choice Hot Springs organized and began aggressive programs in the Spa City. After our campaign Planned Parenthood’s plans were squelched.
Arkansas Right to Life plans to organize resistance to any plan to build a mega clinic in Arkansas cities. ARTL believes that "Planned Parenthood is desperate and scrambling to survive in Arkansas."
Mimms shared that she believes that "Abortion by web cam is the hope and future of Planned Parenthood, granting them the access and availability that they have sought for the last 38 years of legal abortion --- all at the expense of the lives of women and their unborn children."

Hmmm...disgusting...aren't these the same people who use the tired tripe "we don't want to go back to the days of 'coat hangers.'"? Isn't this basically the same thing, just different method? Woman on her own w/o medical assistance....
