Planned Parenthood building secret new baby-killing centers under fake names

Planned Parenthood is opening a huge new abortion business on the border of Illinois and Missouri after keeping it secret for a year.

CBS News reports the new mega-clinic is located in Fairview Heights, Illinois, just 13 miles away from St. Louis, Missouri. The abortion chain also hopes to sell abortions to women in Kentucky and Arkansas at the new facility.

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion business in the U.S. Last year, it reported a record $1.66 billion in revenue and more than 330,000 abortions, even as patient numbers fell.

Abortion is its main business, and Colleen McNicholas, the chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri, said they hope to see 11,000 patients annually at the Fairview Heights facility.

She admitted that they worked hard to keep the new building a secret from the local community.

According to CBS: “Since August 2018, Planned Parenthood has used a shell company to construct the facility, leaving no public trace that the former medical office would become one of the largest abortion clinics in the country. CBS News first visited the site in August, while it was still being built.”

McNicholas tried to justify these deceptions by describing past experiences with building projects. She told CBS that some companies and contractors refuse to work with them after learning that they are an abortion business, and pro-life advocates in the communities protest their plans.

She said they built the new mega-abortion facility under the code name “Alaska.” It cost about $7 million to build, and it will begin seeing patients within the next few weeks.

It is not clear how far along abortions will be performed. Illinois allows unborn babies to be aborted for basically any reason up to birth, and McNicholas has defended them. In August, she told the AP that “EVERY reason to have an abortion is a valid reason,” including for sex-selection and disabilities like Down syndrome.

Here’s more from the report:

With the opening of the mega-clinic nearby, they’ll be able to expand [abortion] services, said McNicholas, who added that Planned Parenthood was expanding its staffing in the region to handle both family planning and abortion services. The new facility will roughly double the existing clinic’s capacity, with the ability to serve up to 11,000 patients a year, said a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood.

Even though the new facility could absorb all of St. Louis’s patients if the clinic has to stop performing abortions, McNicholas said the new clinic doesn’t mean they’re giving up on Missouri.

Steven Aden, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of Americans United for Life, told LifeNews.com he’s not surprised by the news.

“How appropriate that Planned Parenthood has built a secret ‘mega-center’ to go with its mega-sized status as America’s biggest abortion business – fully one-third of all U.S. abortions are done at a Planned Parenthood facility,” he said.

He added: “Planned Parenthood loudly complains that long distances inhibit access to abortion while building its business model on the truth that they will. Given that abortions are falling precipitously all over the country as women are learning what abortion really is and does to them and their babies, the main impact of this new mega-center might be to drive Planned Parenthood St. Louis – just across the river – out of business. In light of the fact that the St. Louis abortion center has sent 74 women directly to the hospital over the last ten years, that can only be a very good thing for women in both Missouri and Illinois.”

The St. Louis Planned Parenthood has a horrendous record of health and safety violations. Earlier this year, state health officials tried to revoke its license, but Planned Parenthood sued and a judge allowed it to remain open.

The state Department of Health found dozens of health and safety violations in St. Louis, and pro-life advocates have documented 72 occasions when ambulances were called to the abortion facility for women with abortion complications. CBS News failed to mention any of these concerns and implied that the state is just trying to close the abortion facility for political reasons.

Planned Parenthood has been secretive about new abortion clinics in the past. Last year, a Michigan community expressed outrage after the abortion chain used a different name on paperwork so that it could open a new abortion facility in secret.

In Kansas, pro-life advocates recently stopped Planned Parenthood from opening a new abortion facility right next to a high school in their community.

Viral photo with story from Florida…please see this!

 

Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every single day.

In addition to facing threats of violence, they regularly come into contact with our society’s most heartbreaking and traumatic circumstances — and do so with strength and courage. Like any person who steps into a position of authority, police officers may also find themselves the target of public scrutiny. Some days are easier than others, but for their families, the knowledge that these brave men and women are inviting danger into their lives on a daily basis can make peace and faith hard to come by.

This week one officer in Deland, Florida, got a little extra encouragement after a young man stopped to pray for him, asking for safety and protection.

While standing at the counter at a Zaxby’s restaurant, Officer Cameron Tucker of the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office started chatting with a young man named Juan O’Neal as they waited on their meals, according to Fox News.

Tucker didn’t think much of the interaction at first.

But a few moments later, the 21-year-old approached Tucker’s table while he was eating with his wife and asked to pray for him. The officer readily agreed, and O’Neal placed a hand on his shoulder and began to pray.

“Tonight was a night that I will never forget,” Tucker’s wife, Justine Tucker, wrote on Facebook. She posted a photo of the exchange that quickly went viral, garnering thousands of likes and shares as people found encouragement in the simple gesture.

“This picture is a reminder of God’s constant love and perfect timing,” the post continued.

“After crying my eyes out we got to have an amazing conversation with this gentleman. He was on FIRE for God and you could feel His presence in the room. He said that he had felt compelled to talk to us and to pray over Cameron.”

The police officer later said that the act of kindness meant a lot to him and had renewed his faith during a time when he needed refreshment.

“We could use all the prayer and help that we can get,” he told WESH-TV. “I couldn’t be more thankful that he stopped by that day.”

O’Neal, the son of a law enforcement officer, said that he had just felt God calling him to offer the Tuckers support and hope.

“I really just wanted to let him know that I see him and that I appreciate his service, because … my dad has gone through a lot and I see a lot on the news.”

“I just wanted to go and just encourage them and just be a light,” he told WESH.

The photo resonated with thousands online, reminding people that a small act of kindness can have a huge impact. O’Neal’s simple prayer served to remind the Tuckers that even in the midst of the greatest challenges, they are never alone.

“God is there for us,” he said.

Sick and disgusting business…

Illinois authorities just discovered the remains of 2,246 defenseless babies hidden inside the home of a deceased abortionist.

We’ll probably never know his morbid intentions for storing the corpses of over 2,200 aborted babies. But this chilling, disgusting discovery further exposes what a sick business abortion really is.

Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry have been caught selling aborted babies’ body parts. Some abortionists even admitted taking fiendish precautions to preserve babies’ organs in order to sell them.

Planned Parenthood has NO RIGHT to your tax dollars – especially when its goal is NOT to provide “health care” to women, but to make money from killing babies and to make more money by selling their body parts.

Do not be swayed by the abortion lobby and Planned Parenthood. The only thing truly “planned” by this organization which thinks it has a right to your tax dollars is that it plans relentlessly to take as many of those dollars as it possibly can so it can kill even more babies.

Why would you choose to support that barbaric effort?

Again, here is the logic of the matter:

A.  It is wrong to intentionally kill innocent and vulnerable human beings.

B.  Abortion intentionally kills innocent and vulnerable human beings.

C.  Therefore, abortion is morally wrong and should be illegal.

 

The unborn are distinct, living, and whole human beings.  You did not come from an embryo, you once were an embryo.  There is no relevant difference between you the embryo and you the adult that in any way justifies killing you at an earlier stage of development (and for which you should be very grateful).  Intentionally killing human beings for any other reason is called “murder” and is severely punishable by law…EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF MURDER BY PARENTS OR MEDICAL STAFF.

 

IF IT IS WRONG TO HURT PEOPLE BECAUSE OF SKIN COLOR OR GENDER, WHY IS IT PERMISSIBLE TO HURT THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SMALLER, LESS DEVELOPED, OR NOT YET ABLE TO RESPOND TO AND ENGAGE WITH OTHER HUMANS?

Our climate is changing for the better…here’s how it’s happening

The idea that climate change is a negative thing, an unnatural thing, and an inevitably destructive thing predominates in our society.  In truth, climate change and carbon emissions have overwhelmingly positive effects.

CO₂ is incredibly good for plant growth.  Plants see significant improvement in growth with higher CO₂ levels.  Greenhouses commonly increase CO₂ levels to 1,500 ppm and the temperature to 80 F or higher.  For comparison, atmospheric CO₂ levels are a bit above 400 ppm, and the average surface temperature on earth in 59 F.  CO₂ also increases photosynthesis.  The production of carbohydrates increases as CO₂ increases.  The fact that CO₂ increases plant productivity is not only demonstrated in laboratory settings but also in nature. In one study, artificially doubling CO₂ from pre-industrial levels increased tree productivity by around 23 percent, wheat improved by 11.5 percent, and corn by 8.4 percent.

NASA satellites confirm the earth is greening.  Each year, 2 million square miles of green leafy area is added to the world.  The earth’s green area has grown over 5% since the early 2000s.  CO₂ is also beneficial in that it increases fresh-water efficiency.  With increased  CO₂ levels, plants can produce the same with less water, or produce more with the same amount of water.   Plants become more efficient at photosynthesis, which means less water released into the atmosphere, and more moisture retained on land.  Higher temperatures due to a warming planet means a longer growing season.  Per the EPA, the U.S. growing season has increased by 14 days since the beginning of the 20^th century. Longer growing seasons give farmers increased crop yields and give farmers more options as to crop selection.

Higher temperatures from climate change also lead to increased precipitation.  Precipitation has increased approximately 5% in the United States since 1900.  Increased precipitation leads to better crop productivity, and to decreased droughts and decreased wildfires.  The lesser need for crop growing area means less wild land is turned into cropland.  This is environmentally friendly in that preserving wild lands helps animals and plants survive.  The greater water efficiency and increased precipitation means less use of fresh water.  The increased precipitation replenishes our aquifers and refills our reservoirs.  The ability of nature to become more productive in a changing climate shows the resilience of the natural world.

Climate change may bring about greater energy conservation as well.  Regulating building temperatures is one area.  More energy is needed to heat homes and buildings than is needed to cool them.  Increased cloud cover, from the increased precipitation, means milder temperatures, less extreme highs and less extreme lows.  Less energy would be needed for cooling and heating.

There are significant advantages of hydrocarbons (oil, natural gas, and coal) as a fuel source.  Hydrocarbons provide a reliable, steady, cost-efficient energy.  The common renewables of wind and solar do not provide a steady source of energy, nor are wind and solar energy always obtainable.  These unsteady sources must be backed up by reliable sources.  Natural gas is a great backup.  Natural gas has high thermodynamic efficiency, produces less nitrogen oxides, less sulfur oxides, and fewer particulates than other common powerplant types.  When green energy fails to deliver the necessary, a simple cycle natural gas plant is often switched on in order to supply power.  A simple cycle natural gas plant is operated by propelling hot gas through a turbine to generate electricity.  Such plants may take only 10-15 minutes to reach maximum capacity.  Combined cycle plants will kick in later, typically after about half an hour.  Combined cycle plants use hot gases to propel a turbine, and also use that heat again to create steam which turns turbines as well.  Comparatively, a coal power plant may take four to eight hours.  Older nuclear power plants can take hours, with newer plants having the ability to make changes more rapidly.  Hydroelectric power also has issues.  Low water levels can impede the ability to turn electric turbines.

If there does come a day where the negative impacts of increased CO₂ levels outweigh the benefits, there are several solutions.  One solution could be to pump seawater into reservoirs in places like the Sahara.  This would mitigate the issue of rising sea levels.  In these reservoirs, we would grow types of plankton, algae, and seaweed that are specially bred to pull large amounts of CO₂ from the atmosphere.  The aquatic plants could be grown, then harvested for use as fertilizer.  We could green the arid regions around the world, like the Sahara.  Terrestrial plants like trees could be grown as well.   Another method could be recycling of carbon.  Typically, when we burn energy, it is released to the atmosphere.  We could capture those carbon emissions and find an energy effective way to turn those carbons back into a usable form of energy.

The radical Left has a $500 million “Dark Money ATM” called Arabella

A largely unknown, massively funded strategy company pushing the interests of wealthy leftist donors has been quietly behind a hydra-like dark money network of pop-up groups designed to look like grassroots activist organizations. These front groups push everything from opposition to President Trump’s proposed border wall to support for Obamacare to gun control to government control of the Internet to pro-abortion activism and other leftwing causes.

The secretive Arabella Advisors may be one of the most impactful and sophisticated leftist funding outfits that you never heard of, a centralized hub that runs nonprofit arms that in turn have spawned a nexus of hundreds of front organizations outwardly designed to appear grassroots but that evidence the common theme of more government control in the lives of Americans.

Arabella’s vast network was unmasked in an extensive exposé by conservative watchdog Capital Research Center, which documents the shadowy system developed by, housed in, and staffed by the for-profit, privately held Arabella Advisors.

The Arabella firm in turn manages four nonprofits: the New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Windward Fund, and Hopewell Fund. It is these nonprofit entities that play host to hundreds of groups and projects that promote interests and political movements strategically deployed in an ongoing campaign to nudge the country to the left.

Arabella’s nonprofits spent a combined $1.16 billion from 2013-2017 alone with the aim of advancing “the political policies desired by wealthy left-wing interests through hundreds of ‘front’ groups,” according to the report. “And those interests pay well: the network’s revenues grew by an incredible 392 percent over that same period.”

“Together, these groups form an interlocking network of ‘dark money’ pop-up groups and other fiscally sponsored projects, all afloat in a half-billion-dollar ocean of cash,” states the report. “The real puppeteer, though, is Arabella Advisors, which has managed to largely conceal its role in coordinating so much of the professional Left’s infrastructure under a mask of ‘philanthropy.’”

A specialty of the Arabella network seems to be the quick turnover of hundreds of “front” groups, especially websites timed to impact current events and designed to look like “grassroots” Astroturf organizations but that actually function as part of an orchestrated movement to advance the political interests of hidden leftist donors.

“At a glance, these groups — such as Save My Care and Protect Our Care — appeared to be impassioned examples of citizen activists defending ObamaCare,” according to the report. “In reality, neither ‘not-for-profit’ advocacy group appears to have paid staff, held board meetings, or even owned so much as a pen.”

In one case, an organization calling itself Demand Justice, founded by former members of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, quickly thrust itself into the center of opposition to Trump’s Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh.

Even before Trump announced Kavanaugh as his nominee, Demand Justice committed to spending about $5 million to oppose the eventual pick. As soon as Kavanaugh’s name was selected, the organization immediately deployed an anti-Kavanaugh website and helped lead news making national activism during the confirmation hearings.

Yet what the news media missed is that Demand Justice is fiscally sponsored by the Sixteen Thirty Fund, one of Arabella’s nonprofits, as the Capital Research Center report reveals.

The report shows similar setups have spawned organizations that serve as the backbone of the Obamacare support network, promote gun control, support pro-abortion activism, champion open border policies, and even advocate for a centralized government role on the Internet.

Arabella nonprofits also evidence close financial workings with initiatives for the Democracy Alliance, another network of highly influential donors, including billionaire George Soros. Democracy Alliance itself coordinates funding to even more leftist outfits.

Arabella Advisors was founded by Eric Kessler, whose bio on the firm’s website identifies him as “a serial entrepreneur who has started, led, and advised organizations pursuing social change across the country and around the globe.”

Curiously missing from his official bio, but documented in the Capital Research Center report, is the detail that Kessler served as a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, an arm of the controversial Clinton Foundation.

The report concludes by asking, “Given that many of the groups managed by Arabella frequently call for transparency in the funding of campaigns and policy advocacy, they may first consider voluntarily disclosing their own funding sources. Why shouldn’t transparency begin at home?”

NORM ‘n’ AL Note:  When a politically-motivated group which works hard to remain in the shadows, doing all it can to keep its activities hidden from the public, has as its goal the overthrow of an elected American government, that is not called opposition, that is called TREASON.
