As expected, U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt has issued an injunction, ending Indiana’s restriction of Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood. Earlier, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the law, and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case.
A part of the law restricting state managed federal block grants to Planned Parenthood had been upheld by the 7th Circuit Court.
Hans Johnson at Jill Stanek’s blog points out a Buzz feed news spot touting an “emerging” abortion pill market, now that Texas has passedlate term abortion restrictions and modern medical standards regulating abortion clinics as outpatient surgical facilities. The Buzz feeders are crying that abortion clinics will have to close, because they could never be expected to treat women as well as men are treated, during outpatient surgery by real physicians. The Buzzfeed news spot is really a COMMERCIAL advertising the availability of diverted abortion pills, misoprostil (cytotec), on the black market. Their suggestion that this market is emerging is an outright lie. Misoprostil has been touted as an abortion pill on “women’s health” websites in multiple languages, around the world for a very long time.
Hospitals have been completing home induced abortions for centuries. Legalized abortion did not stop this. The fact that Buzzfeed has just put out a commercial for flea market abortion in response to the new law in Texas might alter your opinion of them as a news source.
When your friendly pharmer practiced in retail (ambulatory care setting) prescriptions for misoprostil (Cytotec) without the non-steroidal drug with which it was supposed to be used were rejected. The drug was contraindicated for use in pregnant women. Such prescriptions for misoprostil alone were generally not legimate, and were for the purpose of home abortions.
Chemical abortions have been a major method touted in countries where abortion is considered morally wrong. Women are sold this drug to “start the menses” particularly in South American countries and the Philippines. It makes the abortion seem less wrong. Thanks to Hans Johnson for highlighting that significant marketing point in his article.
The extremely unsafe aspect of home abortions with misoprostil is that the uterus has variable sensitivity to the drug depending on the time of gestation. Later inductions with misoprostil are done with VERY TINY doses of the drug are used, to avoid uterine rupture. As many of us have heard before, Planned Parenthood uses the huge doses (like those required to stop bleeding) to expel an embryo or fetus early in pregnancy, with their mifepristone regimen. Women are instructed to use an initial huge dose of Cytotec, and then keep taking the pills periodically until “something happens”.….. either abortion or uterine rupture.
If you see an uptick of deaths due to uterine rupture in the U.S., you might want to thank Buzzfeed and their flea market abortion commercial.
In November, the CDC Abortion Surveillance Report was published, which shows that 63 percent of the abortions in the U.S. end the lives of Black or Hispanic babies. This wildly outpaces the proportions of these minorities in the general population, and it directly relates to the locations of the abortion clinics.
From the CDC Report comes a data set from 2009.
White women had 38% of abortions or 8.5 abortions 1ooo women (15-44yrs) or 140 abortions per 1000 live births.
Black women had 35.4% of abortions, 32.5 abortions per 1000 women (15-44yrs) or 477 abortions per 1000 live births.
Hispanic women had 20.6% of abortions, 19.3 abortions per 1000 women (15-44yrs) or 195 abortions per 1000 live births.
Women of other races: 6.3% of abortions, 17.7 abortions per 1000 women (15-44yrs) or 243 abortions per 1000 live births.
Admittedly the CDC is not counting all of the abortions, but the analysis of data which they have been able to collect bears out what pro-lifers have noticed all along. The placement of abortion clinics is having its intended effects.
We can blame the religious leaders (for one example, the USCCB) who supported the leftist plan to make us into a socialist state. We are only one step away from forced abortion in the United States. That’s right…… only one step away from being just like China.
Why? The Congressional Budget office projects that a good portion of the kids that we allow to live will need medicaid for the costs of their birth, and then more welfare benefits for the rest of their lives. This was brought to you by the “compassionate” religious leaders who wanted to outsource charity to the government until most of the population became dependent on it.
The last step towards forcing women to kill their babies is to make the health care professionals do it. Once participation in abortion is required for health care practice, (and we’re already on our way in a number of states), it will be easy for the government to coerce women to kill their babies.
Landau uses lethal injection to kill the baby on day 1, (the counselor describes intracranial injection), does an ultrasound examination on day 2 to make sure injection worked, then induces labor for delivery of the dead baby on the third day.
Landau has a hotel toilet abortion protocol for those women who begin to deliver too early in the induction process. If they start to deliver in the hotel room, they are to sit on the potty and dial the abortion clinic personnel. The women are specifically instructed not to dial 911 because that might interrupt the process and change the outcome, particularly if the baby happened to be born alive.

Some theories are available from a local videographer in Houston.
It seems that Mayor Annise Parker’s girlfriend, Kathy Hubbard, is the Campaign Finance Director for Planned Parenthood of Houston and SE Texas Action Fund Inc. PAC. That could have something to do with it.
The Houston constables open the gates of Planned Parenthood every morning, and the police dept has understandably not been enthusiastic to begin investigating the reports of murders (babies killed after birth) at Douglas Karpen’s clinic.
Texas state senator, Wendy Davis, has volunteered to be the poster girl of late term abortion by attempting to filibuster a bill which would limit abortion to 20 weeks, and also put in place some regulations regarding hospital admitting privileges for abortionists. Leftists feared that this would have forced closure of dozens of abortion clinics, so they mounted a vigorous and disorderly protest, which turned out to be what eventually killed the passage of this bill. The vote results are said to have been delayed just past midnight, thereby setting things back to ground zero for the SB-5, TX bill prohibiting late term abortion.
Leftists are cursing Governor Perry for adding another special session to finish the business which the pro-abortion mob shouted down during the couple hours of 6/25. Check out more of Wendy Davis’s classy twitter backup crew here, and here.
Indiana is the 16th most populous state of the U.S., with about 6.9 million people. It’s also a Planned Parenthood stronghold, with 27 of their so-called health centers located in the state. Across the USA, there are approximately 750 PP facilities, or one per 440,000 people. Indiana has one facility per 256,000 people, or almost twice the national average. Indiana boasts a close relationship between planned parenthood and the Girl Scouts sex education programs encompassing a 12 county region in the south central part of the state.
With the above factual understanding, it is very interesting to see people of planned parenthood of Indiana commenting on the sad story of a 13 year old girl in Madison county, who was sexually assaulted. On their facebook page, (June 6, 13) the girl’s story from the Indianapolis Star is linked with the comment: “As this article notes, heartbreaking stories like this are all too common in Indiana, which ranks second in the number of teen sexual assaults. Comprehensive sex ed can make a difference in preventing sexual assaults.”

Rebecca Frazer of Live Action News is lit up about the callousness of the PPI for suggesting that their pornographic sex ed programs could possibly prevent child rape and molestation. She reminds us that Live Action exposed two separate instances of Indiana planned parenthood employees offering to cover up instances of statutory rape. Your friendly Pharmer agrees that PPI’s facebook suggestion is whacked, as well as inappropriate. It is also patently and demonstrably false.
As noted above, Planned parenthood has been very strongly present and extremely busy in the state of Indiana, with respect to its sex industry, oops, “education” business, abortion business and its huge influence on the political scene in the center of the state. Planned Parenthood itself notes that Indiana, after all their “efforts” is the number 2 ranking state with respect to teen sexual assaults. This data suggests that planned parenthood is not curing the problem of teen rape in Indiana, but rather is Exacerbating it!
Life News has provided today’s house voting record (click HERE) so you can see how your representative weighed in on this decision. The new Act bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy except in cases of rape, incest and to save a mother’s life, although the latter is actually inapplicable.
The first reading from the Bible at Sunday Mass was 2 Samuel 12:7-10, 13in which the prophet, Nathan, got in King David’s face about his sinful ingratitude for God’s blessings on him. David had arranged for the death of one of his generals, Uriah, so that he could take the man’s wife, Bathsheba.
This got your friendly Pharmer thinking about the tremendous vacuum in the leadership of the church regarding the horrid moral performance of our current ruling class. Nathan was surely risking his head when he addressed King David in this manner” “Why have you despised the word of the LORD, to do what is evil in his sight? You have smitten Uri’ah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.”
Nathan admonishes King David
Is there a Nathan among the church leadership who is willing to get up in Pelosi’s face concerning her latest statement about her sacrament of abortion, and using her supposed Catholic background to justify it? We know that the strong arm of the IRS, with a projected force of 16,000 new employees, and its AR-15 training program, is daunting.
We do have some courageous pastors, of various denominations, who have directly addressed the transgressions of Nancy Pelosi and our government, but among the bulk of Church leadership, the silence has been deafening.
Update: Fr. Frank Pavone has sent Pelosi a letter castigating her for referencing her so-called Catholic faith while defending late term abortion (which, as practiced in the U.S., includes infanticide).
