The deadly side-effects of contraceptives and chemical abortifacients posing as contraceptives have been known for some time so why won't the people hawking this stuff warn women?

Washington Woman Shares Abortion Testimony with National Audience

During my 5 years as Regional Coordinator for the Washington state Silent No More Awareness Campaign I met so many great post-abortive women. One of them was Nancy Murray. I recently reconnected with her and discovered that she has recetly shared her testimony in the Celebrate Life magazine. It's a beautiful story of mercy and forgiveness.

She is a writer in Richland, Washington and blogs at Catholic Ethics.

If you are hurting after an abortion there is hope. See Project Rachel or Silent No More Awareness Campaign.

If you live in Washington state it's not to late to join the next post-abortion healing retreat:

The Big Lie: Reproductive "Parity" Bill. Planned Parenthood cares neither for parity or parity

That is they care neither for equality or childbearing. All they want is abortion.

At a public hearing on EHB 1044 on so-called "reproductive parity" yesterday, Jonathan Bloedow of AIW and Bloedow v. Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest tells the Senate Health Care Committee that if Planned Parenthood wants all these abortions to take place, they can pay for them. They certainly have the funds and as the lawsuit shows they've been stealing from the taxpayers for years.

Karen Keiser, Planned Parenthood's reliable mouth-piece, tries to shut down Jonathan's testimony when it's clear he's going right to the heart of the problem -- PP CEO Christine Charbonneau and PPGW

There's lots of great testimony from the truely pro-parity side. Jonathan's testimony starts around 1:13:50.

Lawsuit Filed by Publisher of Abortion in Washington Finds Planned Parenthood Defrauded Taxpayers in Wash. state

Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys file third lawsuit to expose abortion giant's mishandling of taxpayer dollars

Wednesday, March 20, 2013

Attorney sound bite: Michael Norton

SEATTLE — Planned Parenthood submitted “repeated false, fraudulent, and/or ineligible claims for reimbursement” to the state of Washington’s Department of Social and Health Services, according to a federal lawsuit made public Tuesday. Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed the lawsuit in July 2011 on behalf of Jonathan Bloedow, a Washington resident who discovered the alleged frauds through state open records requests.

“Americans deserve to know, especially in economic times like these, if their hard-earned tax money is being funneled to groups that are misusing it,” said Senior Counsel Michael J. Norton, a former U.S. Attorney. “Compliance with the law should not be sacrificed for the sake of Planned Parenthood’s bottom line. They have cheated the American taxpayer for too long. It’s time the abortion giant is held accountable.”

Federal law allows “whistleblowers” with inside information to expose fraudulent billing by government contractors. By law, such cases must initially be filed under seal and may not be made public while federal authorities decide whether to join the case.

Bloedow has sued under the federal False Claims Act. The suit alleges that Planned Parenthood submitted false claims to Washington’s Department of Social and Health Services and its Health and Recovery Services Administration. HRSA runs the state’s Title XIX Medicaid program.

The lawsuit alleges that Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest filed at least 25,000 false claims with HRSA for reimbursements in excess of the amount allowed for oral contraceptive pills and at least another 25,000 for reimbursements in excess of the amount allowed for “emergency contraceptive” (“Plan B”) pills under the federal government’s 340B drug reimbursement program. Total damages could be as much as $377,134,130.

The allegations of Bloedow’s complaint are consistent with a 2011 Government Accountability Office report that concluded that HRSA monitoring of the 340B program was inadequate and recommended that “HRSA take steps to strengthen oversight regarding program participation and compliance with program requirements.”

Alliance Defending Freedom has filed two prior False Claims Act lawsuits, Johnson v. Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas and Thayer v. Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. Bloedow v. Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Allied Attorney Todd Nelson with Nelson Law Group in Seattle is co-counsel and is one of nearly 2,200 allied attorneys with Alliance Defending Freedom.

In 2012, Alliance Defending Freedom publicly released its report to Congress that identified nearly $100 million in waste, abuse, and potential fraud committed by Planned Parenthood affiliates and other providers. Seventy-two Members of Congress, led by Rep. Diane Black of Tennessee and Rep. Pete Olson of Texas, continue to press for the investigation of how Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest purveyor of abortions, has spent more than $2.3 billion of federal taxpayer dollars over the last few years.

Must Read: Rep. Steve O'Ban's Floor Speech on HB 1044

Right not to be Coerced to Take Human Life

Mr. Speaker, this bill is not about one’s views on regulating abortion or a women’s right to choose. This bill is about the value we place on the freedom of conscience. This bill is a test of all of us in this chamber. Do we nurture and celebrate people who follow their conscience? Or, do we burden and undermine conscience? And not just any issue of conscience is at stake.

This bill would force Americans to violate conscience on the most profound moral issue imaginable. This bill would force Americans to assist in taking what they believe to be innocent human life. Since the Quakers in colonial America were jailed for refusing to serve in colonial militias, our nation has affirmed the right of conscience. Their refusal to take life changed colonial laws and in every armed conflict since, Americans have been exempted for conscience sake. Our laws have responded to protect conscience, again and again.

• Within weeks of Roe v Wade in 1973, every state and the federal gov’t enacted exemptions so doctors would not be forced to take human life.
• Our state’s physician-assisted suicide laws, exempt physicians from being coerced to take human life. 
•  Our state corrections employees are excused from participating in state executions.

And yet, not since the Quakers were jailed in colonial America, would a law punish Americans who refuse to take human life, until HB 1044. No other state, no other gov’t has broken with the long tradition of our nation protecting conscience in this way, until HB 1044.

Washington State overwhelmingly supports parental-notification

 

(Bellevue, WA)  In a poll commissioned by Human Life WA, Washington State voters are widely supportive of laws concerning “parental involvement” in abortion decisions for girls under the age of 18 (62-29% with just under 10% undecided).  Further, strong support for this proposal outnumbers strong opposition by a margin of nearly three-to-one (48% strongly favor, 18% strongly oppose). 

A proposal requiring “parents be notified” before a girl under age 18 could have an abortion elicits even wider support – 65% favor, 25% oppose and 9% undecided.  Again, the intensity on this issue is on the support side (51% strongly favor, 17% strongly oppose). 

The survey was conducted January 10 & 12, 2013 by Moore Information, Inc .  It reveals that parental involvement and notification are supported by a majority of parents regardless of their views on abortion.

The issue has longstanding support in Washington State.  In 1995, Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, then chairman of the House Law and Justice Committee, co-sponsored a parental notification bill.  It went on to receive House approval but did not receive a hearing in the Senate.

 
This time parental notification will receive a public hearing in the Senate.

In a 1/22/2013 press release issued earlier today, Padden, now chairman of the Law and Justice Committee in the Senate--the committee to which SB 5156 on parental notification has been assigned--cites Human Life’s survey results and pledges the bill will have a public hearing.

Please see the attached for survey Power Point, including standard, scientific methodology.

Padden says committee will have hearing on abortion-notification bill

Padden says committee will have hearing on abortion-notification bill

OLYMPIA… Sen. Mike Padden says the Senate Law and Justice Committee will have a public hearing on a bill that would require a girl’s parent or guardian to be notified before she can have an abortion.

Padden, R-Spokane Valley, is among the 18 sponsors of Senate Bill 5156, which was introduced Monday but is not yet scheduled for a hearing. He said it’s a proposal that has support from parents regardless of their views on abortion.

“If your daughter became pregnant and was considering an abortion, wouldn’t you want to know far enough ahead of time to talk with her about it or get ready to care for her afterward? This bill wouldn’t prohibit an underage girl from having an abortion, but it would make sure a parent or guardian has the chance to have that conversation, to provide that care,” Padden said.

Padden shared results from a recent statewide poll commissioned by Human Life of Washington, conducted by Moore Information. Of those responding, 65 percent were in favor when asked about a proposal along the lines of SB 5156, requiring “parents be notified” before a girl under age 18 could have an abortion; 25 percent were opposed and 9 percent were undecided. Padden said the “strongly favor” percentage greatly outweighed the “strongly oppose” group.

The measure that will come before Padden’s committee would require that one parent or guardian receive 48 hours’ actual notice from the person intending to provide the abortion.

“When you consider an underage girl can’t legally get a tattoo in our state, with or without a parent’s permission, yet can have access to an abortion without the parent even knowing, it puts things into perspective,” Padden said.

In 1995, as chairman of the law and justice committee in the House of Representatives, Padden co-sponsored and held a public hearing on a similar bill; it went on to receive House approval but did not receive a hearing in the Senate.

In 1998 the Senate approved a parental-notification bill; it also received committee approval in the House but was not brought to a full House vote.
