Wichita Garbage Disposal: Shut Down

Amen.



A brilliant move by Operation Rescue has shut down one abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas. Working to change attitudes toward abortion in that state, Operation Rescue's efforts caused a sixteen percent drop in abortions state wide. This undoubtedly attributed to the Wichita clinic's financial woes, which in turn led to its falling behind on its rent. Upon learning that the building was for sale, Operation Rescue bought it through an intermediary with the stipulation that the clinic's current occupants not be "retained."

What the new owners found inside the building only underscored the abomination of abortion [for me, at least]... Carpets stained with blood, and a garbage disposal that showed signs of leaking blood.

Norma McCorvey, the "Roe" of Roe v. Wade who once ran abortion clinics but now is a pro-life activist, confirmed it once was common practice to put aborted baby remains down such disposals.

"Oh, yes!" she told Newman in a phone call. "And you can't pour enough bleach down that drain to get rid of the smell."

It's estimated that in the years this clinic was in operation 50,000 innocent children lost their lives. A good many of them undoubtedly were ground up in that disposal and washed away.

Questions to consider:

Did the water from that building ultimately find its way back to a water treatment plant where is was cleaned, purified, and sent back into circulation as, say, drinking water? How many people in Wichita drank water, bathed in water, cooked with water, that once held, in suspension, parts and pieces of dead children? Abortion clinics have been known to sell baby parts for research, and some purchasers of fetal tissue use the collagen for cosmetics and such... So how many people in this country and around the world walk about in public with dead babies on their faces?

From an Article by Mona Charen...

One day, [says "Kelly"] "a set of twins at 24 weeks gestation was brought to us in a pan. They were both alive. The doctor came back and said, 'Got you some good specimens -- twins.'

I looked at him and said: 'There's something wrong here. They are moving. I can't do this. This is not in my contract.' I told him I would not be part of taking their lives. So he took a bottle of sterile water and poured it in the pan until the fluid came up over their mouths and noses, letting them drown. I left the room because I could not watch this."

But she did go back and dissect them later.

And it's not just fetal tissue... From a Letter written by Gere B. Fulton, Ph. D., J. D. and Joshua Slocum of the Funeral Consumers Alliance to the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws...

Because of the recent proliferation in the use of such tissue for both therapeutic and cosmetic purposes, the financial incentives and profits have risen dramatically. This new market in products has raised serious concerns about profits derived from body parts, transparency of the system to donors, the distribution of donated tissue, and the effect that "body brokering" is having on public perception of organ, body and tissue donation.

And this from Fr. Shay Cullen, writing for the Manila Times, July 31, 2005...

The chopped up babies are cryogenically frozen and transported in vacuum flasks from the Ukraine and elsewhere in the world [Emphasis Mine]. According to the high-priced beauty salons of the elite that offer the injections, the underdeveloped and undivided stem cells are reported to bind with any tissue and have regeneration and curative powers. A late-term pregnancy is said to be most in demand because their healing ability is believed to be more effective.

The doctors and officials are in cahoots with each another in allowing the abortions even after 12 weeks, when the fetus is extracted with the placenta, cut up in to separate organs and frozen ready for sale. The cosmetic treatments using such fetuses are banned in the Ukraine and Russia, just as abortion and prostitution are banned in the Philippines. Nevertheless, the crime flourishes wherever there are customers ready to pay and officials are on the take.

Killing the unborn for so-called beauty injections and skin bleaching are abhorrent, immoral and racist. It must be stopped.


Ms. Green, in a recent post, said "It's not about choice - It's about money," and I agree-- That and a complete and utter lack of fear. One commentor bemoaned the shoestring budgets of most Planned Parenthood clinics, but bemoaning and bewailing doesn't change the fact that somewhere along the line, it IS all about the money.

And finally this concerning the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, from BlackGenocide.org, and corroborated here, here, and here.

Margaret Sanger spoke of sterilizing those she designated as "unfit," a plan she said would be the "salvation of American civilization.: And she also spike of those who were "irresponsible and reckless," among whom she included those " whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers." She further contended that "there is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped." That many Americans of African origin constituted a segment of Sanger considered "unfit" cannot be easily refuted.

While Planned Parenthood's current apologists try to place some distance between the eugenics and birth control movements, history definitively says otherwise. The eugenic theme figured prominently in the Birth Control Review, which Sanger founded in 1917. She published such articles as "Some Moral Aspects of Eugenics" (June 1920), "The Eugenic Conscience" (February 1921), "The purpose of Eugenics" (December 1924), "Birth Control and Positive Eugenics" (July 1925), "Birth Control: The True Eugenics" (August 1928), and many others.

These eugenic and racial origins are hardly what most people associate with the modern Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), which gave its Margaret Sanger award to the late Dr. Martin Luther King in 1966, and whose current president, Faye Wattleton, is black, a former nurse, and attractive.

Though once a social pariah group, routinely castigated by religious and government leaders, the PPFA is now an established, high-profile, well-funded organization with ample organizational and ideological support in high places of American society and government. Its statistics are accepted by major media and public health officials as "gospel"; its full-page ads appear in major newspapers; its spokespeople are called upon to give authoritative analyses of what America's family policies should be and to prescribe official answers that congressmen, state legislator and Supreme Court justiices all accept as "social orthodoxy."


Think about it honestly, and ask yourself, "What economic and social demographics are more likely to enter an abortion clinic?"

The Wichita clinic was but one of... I don't know... tens of thousands?... across the country. It's certain that Operation Rescue won't be able to buy all of them out. But if even half of the estimated deaths in that one clinic alone can find reflection in the amount of lives spared from this day forward... well, that can only be called a good thing.



UPDATE: Friday, 7:37 pm
It would seem the clinic in question was not the only one in town, and the worst of the two. Apologies to Mark for misspelling his hometown.

I'm sticking to my guns on the rest.

Could not read your entire post... way too distressing...

It is because of this that really saddens me about our country.

the duluth news tribune had this to add:

[....]

"Although it was one of only two clinics offering abortion in Wichita, the closure of Central Women's Services will probably not have much effect on access to the procedure, said Peter Brownlie, president and chief executive of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.

"The number of abortions they were able to perform has been pretty small in recent years," Brownlie said.

He said Women's Health Care Services, operated by physician George Tiller, has been the primary abortion provider in Wichita for years.

Both Brownlie and Sullenger said Central Women's Services has recently offered abortions only a couple of days a month.

That's a substantial decline since the early 1990s, when the clinic was a center of anti-abortion fervor."

so, operation rescue blew a butt load of their membership's money in order to buy some dilapidated building in order to shut down a clinc that was only operating a couple of days a month? and there's still another clinic in town (which will be seeing an increase to their bottom line, i would think), so women still have access to whatever services they require?

lol! money well spent! hey, i got some abortion clinic swampland you all might be interested in!

EL, Wichita Kansas happens to be my hometown. I have to tell you it was distractoing to read your post with the city name misspelled. It is spelled Wichita.

As I read this my second oldest son , who is also from Wichita, is reading this over my shoulder. He just arrived here this morning to spend about a week.

Kevron is right I hate to say. George Tiller's clinic is the the worst abortion clinic in the midwest. It has been continually picketed by pro-choice advocates since the 70's.

One time he was shot by a deranged pro-choice advocate but survived his injuries.

he has been heaerd admitting it;s all about the money for him. He makes no apologies. He is the devil incarnate. A very disagrreable man.

Despite your views on abortion, do you think the lack of reproductive services for women in this country have anything to do with the poor conditions witnessed at some clinics?

Consider if abortion was offered at more primary care hospitals. They are governed by an ethical review board, we'd most likely witness a decrease in partial-birth abortions (which I find really horrible and unethical as part of the pro-choice community), abortions if needed to be done would at least be sanitary and ethical (although if you are pro-life there really isn't an ethical abortion is there?).

As much as abortion opponents want to describe it as a wide spread problem, abortion access is dismaly small.

All said though, that clinic sounds like it needed to be shut down.

"UPDATE: Friday, 7:37 pm"

see, that's why you gotta stop reading wnd. they're a bunch of propagandist hacks.they leave bits out and add bits in.i can't tell you how many times i've done this very same thing: point out wnd's deceptive ways. why didn't they mention the clinic's track record? why didn't they mention the other clinic in town? they showed us a picture of the nefarious disposal from a distance, but no close up of the gore. and no photo of the blood stained carpet.

you don't do yourself any good by allowing wnd to misinform you. do yourself a favor; whenever you read a story from them, search for other sources with the same story. do this a few times (locating another source can be difficult sometimes; wnd, like the world weekly news, seems to carry many (dubious) stories not carried by other outfits. i know, you'll say "that's because the msm is liberal blah blah blah...." but keep this instance in mind before you say that) and you'll start to see a pattern.

and if they're trying to deceive you, you've got to ask yourself "why?"

Wang--
"Despite [my] views on abortion..."

I honestly can't separate my personal views on abortion from this issue. I honestly think there are too many such clinics in this country. The problem with my views, however, is that no matter how much I personally object, how many others object, it doesn't change the minds of millions of people who hold opposing views. This nonchalance toward the unborn as personified by the fact that abortion is legal in this country, is the product of decades of indoctrination. The only thing that will change the way this society thinks about the unborn, is through education... Get 'em while their young, in school, and fill their young skulls full of mush with the knowledge that every life has value. Sadly, I don't see that happening.

KEv--
"do yourself a favor; whenever you read a story from them, search for other sources with the same story"

This is good sound advice. Not just for WND but every other rag out there; liberal, conservative, or independent, which is a misnomer... nothing is truly "independent"

Thanks for the comments

Abortion bad.

Passing law to control women, also bad. Form of societal white slavery. Bad.

Bad all 'round. Stickiest issue of all.


Since you shut off comments above:

Press good! Free best good! Publishing state secrets -- if they truly are state secrets, and not just information that makes president squirm -- not so good.

Truth is, I don't know what the NYT published. I saw one headlne about it and some bloggers freaking out. The solution is: Prosecuted anyone who broke the law by leaking state secrets, if that's what they were, to the press.

On the other hand, this administration tries to make a secret out of too much -- so, yay NYT for making it more difficult in general.

Oh, and I reject the entire notion of a "war on terrorism." We have enemies, sure. It's a crime -- a high crime, involving international intrigue, as wll as two-bit thuggery. But to insist that it's a war, with all that implies (curtailed civil liberties, with hunts for scapegoats, deomonizing political opponents), is uncalled-fot and un-American.

War in Afghanistan good. War in Iraw. Not so good. "War on terrorism" -- does not exist.

God, will Congress ever grow the balls to atually decare war again?!? It would shut me up, and most others.

"will Congress ever grow the balls to atually decare war again?!?"

Unless events personally impacted several key senators/representatives, I think the answer to that is "No"
