From Marjorie Dannenfelser
President, Susan B. Anthony List
I just got off the phone with Mary and Christina from our office. They are on their way back from Delaware where this morning,
three former Planned Parenthood employees testified before state legislators.
Their testimony was revealing… Not only did the Planned Parenthood of Delaware clinic perform an obscene amount of abortions, but
they showed an utter lack of concern for the health and safety of the young, poor women.
Do you
remember the disturbing testimony from a few months ago? We heard about Dr. Liveright’s habit of performing abortions without gloves
and without cleaning the operating table between patients – some abortions happening in the blood and fluid
from the last.
I didn’t think anything could shock me after that, but Mary
and Christina started tweeting out the testimony from the former manager
of the Planned Parenthood of Delaware clinic. I couldn’t believe what I
was seeing.
Not only was the clinic overwhelming their staff with the absurd amount of abortions
on a daily basis, but apparently their work wasn’t limited to normal office hours.
Abortionist Eric Schaff performed abortions
“after hours” without any support medical staff (although
the daytime workers were poorly trained – if they were
trained at all). His hubris took the lives of women into his hands. It’s
sheer arrogance. Who knows how many women were injured?
But that’s not the most shocking news from the testimony … at least one representative of
Planned Parenthood Federation of America – the national organization – knew that these after hours abortions were
occurring. Complaints from staff and management made their way into the national organization’s system. They did nothing.
Planned Parenthood may be leading the public relations campaign to call Kermit Gosnell a rogue abortionist
– but they chose to remain silent to the problems inside their own clinics!
The
consequences of this – of championing abortion under the guise of health
care for women – will prove tragic in state after state.
Iff Mary and
Christina hadn’t been at the hearing today, I’m not sure how I would
have found out the details – that is why it was so important we were
there today, and this is why our efforts to expose the abortion
industry’s abuses are so important. If
we don’t, who will?
This story has the potential to explode, just like the Gosnell trial did
– if only we push hard enough!
Even the women testifying today kept repeating how many similarities there are
between the cases.
We can’t let abuses from the abortion industry go unnoticed. America
needs to know that Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry are not the defenders of women they claim to be.

Just days after a Philadelphia jury found abortionist Kermit Gosnell
guilty of the murder of three newborn children and the negligent death
of a patient, evidence of similar atrocities has surfaced in Houston,
Texas.
Three former employees of abortionist Douglas Karpen have come forward to give their testimony in a video interview with Life Dynamics.
LifeNews.com
has even published photographs taken by the employees of babies killed
at the clinic. The photos are horrifying and reveal the absolute
brutality of abortion.
Kermit Gosnell’s 'House of Horrors' woke up many Americans to the
inhumanity of the late-term abortion industry. Though some in the
“pro-choice” lobby – and even some politicians like Senator Harry Reid –
would like Americans to believe that Gosnell was an “outlier,” this
couldn’t be further from the truth.
The SBA List has catalogued
numerous instances, across multiple states, of abortion industry
negligence and brutality. The latest news from Texas is, arguably, the
most disturbing evidence to be unearthed.
Today SBA List
President Marjorie Dannenfelser asked the media to cover the story,
acknowledging that the testimony is overwhelmingly hard to bear:
The Susan B. Anthony List, and its connected Political Action Committee,
the SBA List Candidate Fund, are dedicated to electing candidates and
pursuing policies that will reduce and ultimately end abortion. To that
end, the SBA List will emphasize the election, education, promotion, and
mobilization of pro-life women.
A
federal judge has
tossed out the lawsuit filed by ex-Congressman Steve Driehaus – a
self-described “pro-life” Democrat – who sued the SBA List for
defamation and “loss of livelihood” after they exposed his vote for
taxpayer funding of abortion in Obamacare to his constituents during the
2010 election cycle.
And now, because of our victory, politicians are going to think twice before betraying unborn children.
This case was designed by their opponents so they could get their hands on their confidential documents and e-mails,
bury them in legal bills, throw Marjorie Dannenfelser in jail, and ultimately -- shut them down.
Why?
Because
they stood up for the
unborn and defeated 15 of 20 “pro-life” Democrats who caved and handed
Nancy Pelosi and President Obama the votes they needed to pass
taxpayer funding of abortion in Obamacare.
Instead of closing their doors, they are more emboldened than ever in their mission.
Just take a look at the March for Life and the 500,000+ pro-lifers who braved freezing temperatures to be a voice for unborn
children and their mothers.
Try suing all of them!
… We will not be silenced.
… We will not be
intimidated.
… We will continue to hold politicians accountable.
… We will never stop being a voice for the voiceless!
When people are confronted by the horrific reality of abortion and how it effects individual children, mothers, families, and our communities, they can be swayed.
The footage you’ll see in the video is from the Congressional briefing hosted last week where we explored how abortion
affects children, mothers, and our communities.
In the video,
you’ll see inspirational testimonies from Abby Johnson, who recounted
her experiences working for Planned Parenthood; Rebecca Kiessling who
told her story how she was conceived in rape and targeted for abortion;
Dr.
Alveda King who examined how the abortion industry targets the African
American community; Georgette Forney, who shared her testimony as a
post-abortive woman who is “Silent No More;” and finally, Melissa Ohden
who bravely talked about how she survived a failed abortion.
