SURVIVORS OF BOTCHED ABORTIONS WILL TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS AGAINST PLANNED PARENTHOOD Reuters by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.5 Sep 2015754
The House Judiciary Committee has announced that Congress will hold its first hearing on the Planned Parenthood scandal next week, following the recess. Among the witnesses to provide testimony are two women who survived abortion attempts; they will speak from first-hand experience about the horrors of the abortion industry.
The first of a series of hearings, titled “Planned Parenthood Exposed: Examining the Horrific Abortion Practices at the Nation’s Largest Abortion Provider,” will take place on Wednesday, September 9.
The congressional investigation follows the release of a series of undercover videos depicting Planned Parenthood officials discussing the harvesting of fetal organs with the organization’s affiliates. The nine videos were the work of investigative reporting by the Center for Medical Progress over a period of several months.
Abortion survivor Melissa Ohden is a nationally recognized speaker whose mother attempted to abort her at eight months. Melissa miraculously survived the intervention, which involved the injection of a caustic saline solution into the amniotic fluid surrounding her in the womb.
Melissa soaked in the chemical solution for five days until labor was induced, and she was thought to be born dead. A nurse happened to hear her muffled cry, and Melissa’s parents decided at that point to give her up for adoption. Melissa now speaks publicly about the evils of the abortion industry.
Ohden said:
My parents saw the inherent beauty that existed in me. I want everyone to see that. If we look behind words, if we look behind numbers, this is what abortion looks like. This is what tens of millions of other children would look like … if only they were given the opportunity to live.
Gianna Jessen is the other abortion survivor who will be addressing Congress. As a young girl, Jessen began suffering from cerebral palsy as a result of being starved of oxygen while in her mother’s womb.
“If abortion is about women’s rights, then what were mine? There was not a radical feminist standing up and yelling about how my rights were being violated that day; in fact, my life was being snuffed out in the name of women’s rights,” she said.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, a pro-life Republican from Virginia, described the nature of the upcoming hearing:
Planned Parenthood and its executives must answer for the alleged atrocities brought to light in the videos by the Center for Medical Progress. For the past two months, the House Judiciary Committee has been investigating the alleged acts of Planned Parenthood and its affiliates, and now the American people will have a chance to understand just how horrific these practices are to the unborn.
Spokesperson for House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)35% , Emily Schillinger, told Breitbart News that the Speaker was firmly behind the defunding of Planned Parenthood and would work to get the job done.
“The Speaker directed the committees to investigate Planned Parenthood so we can further expose their horrific practices and build the strongest case for defunding this group,” she said. “Throughout the month of August, three committees (Energy and Commerce, Oversight and Government Reform, and Judiciary) have been moving forward with their investigations.”
Among other things, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform wants to know if the Obama administration, via the Department of Health and Human Services, provided any federal grants to Planned Parenthood that ultimately went to pay for the sale of aborted baby body parts and if Planned Parenthood used them to “support transactions involving fetal tissue.” http://www.breitbart.com/big-g.....mp;utm_medium=social

TIME MAGAZINE CENSORS POPE’S MESSAGE ON ABORTION 1042 0 38 The Associated Press by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.7 Sep 2015181
In Pope Francis’ historic “virtual town hall” organized by ABC News last week, he used such blunt language to describe abortion as killing that Time magazine has felt the need to tone it down by deleting the offensive expressions.
In speaking with a young single mother of two, Rosemary Farfan, Pope Francis spontaneously congratulated her for not aborting her children.
After listening to her testimony, Pope Francis thanked her and told her he knows “it’s not easy” to be a single mother.
I know that people can sometimes look askance at you. But I’ll tell you one thing. You’re a brave woman because you were capable of bringing these two daughters into the world. You could have killed them inside your womb and you respected life, you respected the life you were carrying inside you and God will reward you for that and He does reward for you for that. Don’t be ashamed. Hold your head high. ‘I didn’t kill my daughters. I brought them into the world.’ I congratulate you.
The Pope’s references to “killing” seem to have been too much for Time, which published an article purporting to convey Francis’ “Top 5 Messages for Americans.”
Time said that the Pope’s second message is that “single mothers should never be ashamed.”
Its transcription of the Pope’s words to Rosemary Farfan, however, censored out some of the Pope’s most significant statements:
I know that people can sometimes look askance at you. You’re a brave woman because you’re capable of bringing these two daughters into the world. You respected the life you were carrying inside you and God is going to reward you for that and he does reward for you for that. Don’t be ashamed. I congratulate you.
Time put the above paragraph in quotation marks as if it were the entire text of the Pope’s statement. In reality, as a quick comparison with the Pope’s actual words shows, it elided Francis’ two references to killing as if he had never said them.
Of course, Time magazine wasn’t alone. The New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, and USA Today didn’t bother reporting on the Pope’s references to abortion at all, since a strong pro-life message doesn’t fit within their narrative of what they want this Pope to be. But at least they didn’t resort to actually fudging Francis’ words.

Quoted Text
Several Republican presidential candidates have claimed that Planned Parenthood is “profiting” from abortions. But the full, unedited video they cite as evidence shows a Planned Parenthood executive repeatedly saying its clinics want to cover their costs, not make money, when donating fetal tissue from abortions for scientific research. Four experts in the field of human tissue procurement told us the price range discussed in the video — $30 to $100 per patient — represents a reasonable fee. “There’s no way there’s a profit at that price,” said Sherilyn J. Sawyer, the director of Harvard University and Brigham and Women’s Hospital’s “biorepository.” Republicans made their claims following the release of a secretly recorded video showing Deborah Nucatola, the senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood, discussing the procurement of fetal tissues when conducting abortions. The edited video, released July 14 by an anti-abortion group called the Center for Medical Progress, leaves the impression that Nucatola is talking about Planned Parenthood affiliates making money from fetal tissue. But the edited video ignores other things Nucatola said that contradict that idea.

The House on Friday voted along party lines to freeze federal funding for Planned Parenthood after weeks of escalating tension surrounding its use of fetal tissue.
In a 241-187 vote, nearly all Republicans and two Democrats approved legislation that would block Planned Parenthood's federal funding for one year, giving time for Congress to fully investigate claims of wrongdoing by the provider.

But but.... You said that there is no difference between parties... You said that they are all alike... How can that be if ONE PARTY voted FOR and One PARTY voted against.
If they are all the same... why didn't they all vote the same??? Unless... Unless of course, you are full of $hit.

Yes ... Responsible... Cutting off funding will be RESPONSIBLE FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND UNWANTED CHILDREN BEING BORN DUE TO CUTTING BIRTH CONTROL.
Is that the RESPONSIBLE thing to do? Cut funding for birth control for poor women so they become pregnant?
Quoted Text
(From the posted link): It would also cut off access for as many as 600,000 patients, resulting in “several thousand” unplanned births.
How many of those RESPONSIBLE unwanted pregnancies will end in ABORTION, because of cutting funding to PP??? AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE ABORTIONS??? THE ONES WHO CUT FUNDING! "“Planned Parenthood does not sell any body parts for profit. That is a fact,”
