LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Baby Killing is Lucrative

Dear Sir:

According to Dana Cody, executive director of Life Legal Defense Foundation, baby killing is a very lucrative business. When you multiply Planned Parenthood’s 227,375 abortions a year at an average price of $400, it’s $91 million a year. Then, of course, there’s the massive funding from wealthy corporations and tax exempt foundation – $228 million a year. They even get taxpayer money from the government – about $254 million a year.

Since 1987, Planned Parenthood has reported a total of $8.35 billion worth of income.

• $2.95 billion from clinic income (36%)
• $2.71 billion from government grants and contracts (32%)
• $2.24 billion from private contributions (27%)

Life Legal Defense Foundation has filed a major lawsuit against Planned Parenthood for violating Ohio’s parental notification law. The incident involves a 14-year-old girl in 8th grade being impregnated by a 21-year-old “friend of the family.” Statutory rape. Saying that he was her stepbrother and not the father of the baby, the perpetrator took her to Planned Parenthood and paid with his credit card for the baby to be killed. Planned Parenthood then gave her a shot of a potent birth control drug, Depo-Provera, so that he could continue to have illegal sex with her.

One of the girl’s school teachers became aware of this abusive and illegal sexual relationship and informed the police. The baby’s father is serving three years in an Ohio State prison.

Since Ohio has a parental notification law and Planned Parenthood was legally required to notify the parents that their daughter was trying to have an abortion, the parents are outraged that Planned Parenthood allowed this little girl to be victimized by abortion and a sexual predator.

Planned Parenthood uses a public relations image of being a “health care” organization when actually abortion is not health care – a baby dies in every abortion. Contraception is not health care – the woman’s body is functioning normally. Contraception makes it function abnormally.

Planned Parenthood needs to be held accountable for its disregard of Ohio law. The name of the case is Roe v. Planned Parenthood. What would you do if you were the judge or jury in the case? A law was broken. Lives were horribly affected. Someone died.
