Washington Does it Again

Seattle company promotes sex selection IVF and embryo destruction. I suppose if there is a mistake they can line up an abortion for you. And what happens to all the "leftover" embryos?

The name of the company is Washington Center for Reproductive Medicine and the quack running the place is James Kustin.

Just in time for Easter: Rob McKenna Asks the Perennial Question

Would it not be expedient that babies be killed so that I may become governor and the whole state shall not perish?

Right after he blames exalts and excites the mob voters, he kisses the innocent babe says life begins at conception, and finally washes his hands of the whole mess by blaming the mob women.

See and hear it here. If you can stand it.

A Catholic American public official circa 2012 AD: Caiaphas, Judas, and Pilate and rolled into one. Nice.

Sad Anniversary: Two years since Ballard HS teen abortion scandal

This is the week the Ballard High School teen abortion scandal broke.
Here's a round-up of the stories from that date.

Here's our coverage of the scandal and stories related to teen clinics, Hopelink/Medicaid Transports to abortion appointments, Planned Parenthood in the schools.

These teen clinics serve as surrogates for Planned Parenthood in the schools. Slowly and steadily they've been able to worm their way in -- from the pre-schools to the high schools.

And no one's done anything to stop it.

Democrat Governor Who Forced Morning-After Pill on State Goes to Jail Today

As that part of the country that still registers a moral pulse continues to protest Barack Obama's war on women (and men, and children, and the unborn, and the Constitution...) in the context of the "HHS Mandate" to force all private sector employers to subsidize all forms of contraception, including those that are clearly abortifacient, like the morning after pill and IUDs, one of Obama's fanboys, former colleague, and trailblazer is going to jail today.

And as the state of Washington continues to celebrate the victory in the Stormans case, in which morally decent pharmacies re-secured their God-given right not to have Christine Gregoire force them to take part in murder via dispensing Plan B, it's particularly poignant to note that one of the first governors to do what Gregoire has done is putting on a prison uniform today.

Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich may be going to prison for trying to pawn off Barack Obama's former Senate seat for personal gain, but as Gregoire huddles with Rob McKenna to consider appealing the verdict (!) it's worth remembering that "in 2005, [Blago] announced the emergency rule at a press conference, flanked by the heads of NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and other abortion leaders."

We can't tell you that Governor Christine Gregoire, who similarly colluded with NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and other abortion leaders while crafting this state's fascist "Plan B" rule, will be found guilty of crimes that carry prison terms, but it's certainly worth remembering that people drunk on power and with fascistic tendencies who couldn't care less about killing children, or violating the consciences of others are probably devoid of a conscience themselves. And people without a conscience tend to break the law. And some of them get caught. And some of them, even Democrat governors in Democrat states, go to jail.

If that happens, it's Gregoire who will need a "Plan B".

Botched Everett Abortion Follow-Up Shows Desperate Need to Fix Public Records Loophole that Protects Abortionists

Our readers will remember the chilling 911 audio tape from last year in which the unidentified Everett Planned Parenthood worker made an emergency call to get a 16-year-old patient who had just had an abortion to the hospital because they almost killed her. She was bleeding uncontrollably.

We investigated aggressively to try to find out as much information as we could in order to protect more women from these butchers. We contacted Planned Parenthood and Everett Providence (where she was taken) to find out if this girl went through experience on her own, whether PP almost killed her without her parents ever knowing anything about it. They all refused to answer, even though we had and sought NO personally identifying information. They claimed the girl was in stable condition but refused to provide any evidence that would allow independent verification of that claim.

We also asked PP and the Department of Health for information that would identify the abortionist responsible not just for the murder of this 16 year old's baby (or babies, she could have been carrying twins), and for nearly killing the girl so that future PP clients could know whether they are being operated on by someone with such a record.

Was it Cameron McIntyre, PPWW's long-time medical director? He was once associated with that address. Search engines list two MDs at that address; one is C.D. Steele, but we contacted her and she has been working in another state for a few years. Maybe there is no doctor working there and it's just nurses doing all the abortions? The only other medical personnel associated with that address are Shannon R Zeh, MD, Gayle M Hayden, ARNP, and Theresa E Ranta, ARNP. In Washington, Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners are allowed to procure chemical abortions without any doctor present.

A quick search of Washington's licensed health care providers database shows no-one by the name Shannon Zeh, doctor or otherwise. Is this a false identity designed to cover up a record of malpractice? There's simply no way to find out in Washington State.

In the State of Washington, everything is set up to protect Planned Parenthood profits, not women, despite the propaganda from PP that is dutifully regurgitated by the Seattle press.

We finally resorted to getting the abortion complications report for that facility; the report is one of the few pieces of paperwork an abortion clinic is required to file with the state. We got two reports: the report of all abortions done that day, and the complications report.

The former revealed in faceless data the horrific story of death and despair that is one day in the life of Planned Parenthood Everett's abortion production line. There were at least 7 babies murdered that day by the unidentified abortionist(s). Most were there for their first abortion. Shockingly, one woman who was just 25 was actually there for her 8th abortion!!! Clearly abortion was being used as birth control and Planned Parenthood's staff are more than happy to oblige, regardless what they say in public.

Three of the aborting mothers were mothers of live children. Two were 16-year-old girls. The others ranged in age from 20 to 31. Most were local women, from the Everett and Marysville area. One was from Clinton, another from Granite Falls. Most were white. One woman was Asian.

The ages of the babies killed that day, per Planned Parenthood's estimate, ranged from 5 weeks to 11 weeks.

Six had surgical abortions. Just one woman (girl) had a chemical abortion, the one whose baby was 5 weeks.

The 16-year-old who nearly died was the only reported complication that day. The complication report just indicates that she experienced a hemorrhage and was hospitalized.

No further information is available to the public or future would-be clients of Planned Parenthood. There is even state law which prevents the government from releasing information that would identify abortion clinics and abortionists, even in the complications report. You see, everything in this state is carefully designed to protect the abortion industry and maximize their profits. There are no laws that would protect women.

It's time for this to change. We are calling on Olympia to fix this legal travesty and end the war on women. Stop protecting abortionists.

Butcher of Philadelphia, Kermitt Gosnell, May Not Have Committed Any Crimes if "House of Horrors" Abortion Mill was in Washington

And Legislators of Both Parties Plan No Changes to Laws!

About a year ago the nation was finally in collective shock over the actions of an abortionist. Kermit Gosnell, of Philadelphia, was arrested after police revealed that he had been running a late-term abortion mill that came to be known as a "house of horrors". But while everyone watched Gosnell get charged with violations of various criminal counts in Pennsylvania, we started an investigation to see if this horrific genocidal butcher of a man would have actually committed any crimes had his abortion mill be operating here in The Abortion State of Washington.

We can now report the results of that investigation.

The shocking answer is pretty much "no"!

Now we know no-one likes reading the details of what Gosnell was doing, but it's crucially important. Here is the summary straight from the Philly District Attorney:

Gosnell is accused of causing the death of one of his female patients; and killing viable babies, born alive in the 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th month of pregnancy, by severing their spinal cords with a pair of scissors. 

A search of Gosnell’s office, called the Women’s Medical Society,  in West Philadelphia revealed that bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building.  Jars containing the severed feet of babies lined a shelf.  Furniture and equipment was dusty, broken, and blood-stained.  The doctor himself was seldom present.  In his absence, untrained, unsupervised workers, one of them a teenage girl, routinely injected dangerous sedatives into women undergoing illegal late-term abortions. 

 Law enforcement officers happened upon the medical abuses in the course of investigating tips that the doctor had been illegally selling thousands of prescriptions for oxycontin and other narcotics to “patients” that he never examined.

The grand jury investigation revealed that, for over two decades, government health and licensing officials had received repeated reports about Gosnell’s dangerous practices.  No action was ever taken, however, even after the agencies learned that women had died during routine abortions under Gosnell’s care. 

“I am aware that abortion is a hot-button topic,” said District Attorney Williams.  “But as District Attorney, my job is to carry out the law.  A doctor who knowingly and systematically mistreats female patients, to the point that one of them dies in his so-called care, commits murder under the law.  A doctor who cuts into the necks severing the spinal cords of living, breathing babies, who would survive with proper medical attention, is committing murder under the law.” 

Gosnell, a family practioner who was never certified as an OB/GYN, operated the clinic for years primarily treating lower income, minority women.  Along with performing abortions beyond the legal 24 weeks time, he is also accused of delivering and then killing healthy, viable babies; using a sliding pay scale to administer anesthesia; re-using unsanitary instruments; performing procedures in filthy rooms-some of the rooms had litter boxes and animals present at the time of the operations; and allowing unlicensed employees to perform operations and administer anesthesia-including a teenaged high school student. 

Gosnell is facing Murder in the 3^rdDegree for the death of 41 year old Karnamaya Mongar.  Mrs. Mongar died on November 20, 2009 when she was overdosed with anesthetics prescribed by Gosnell.  He is also facing seven Murder charges for the deaths of infants who were killed after being born viable and alive during the 6^th, 7^th and 8^thmonth of pregnancy.  Along with the Murder charges the District Attorney has charged Gosnell with Infanticide, Conspiracy,  Abortion at 24 or more weeks, Abuse of Corpse, Theft, Corruption of Minors, Solicitation and other related offenses.

Now we know that you want to take it for granted that here in Washington a man who did these same things could and would be charged with violations of similar laws on the books in this state, and that the county prosecutor/DA would actually bring such charges. Well, we consulted with the office of the Attorney General (who, in case you haven't heard, is running for Governor). The only thing Gosnell did as far as we can tell that would have been a prosecutable felony is the accidental death of the 41-year-old patient. Let's look at the other charges in detail.

Illegal abortion after 24 weeks? There's no such law in Washington. The closest you will get is RCW 9.02.110 and 120. It deliberately avoids any mention of weeks and instead leaves the definition of an illegal abortion vague, subjective, and hard to prosecute. (The attorney general and the association of county prosecutors could not give us any examples of charges ever having been brought under this statute.) An abortion at any stage of pregnancy including the 6th, 7th, and 8th months like Gosnell was doing is legal in Washington as long as a single licensed doctor in his or her arbitrary, subjective, biased, self-serving "judgment" says the pregnancy was "not viable" or "a threat to the health" of the mother. There are no requirements for independent second opinions, supporting paperwork, medical tests, documentation. In other words, a "Washington State Gosnell" can make his own abortions legal by fiat.

It could actually be even worse than that. The statute, from an initiative passed by a vote of the people of the Soviet of Washington, says:

"A physician may terminate and a health care provider may assist a physician in terminating a pregnancy." 

We asked the AG's office if this horribly vague language meant that meant that the determination of gestation, viability, or threat to the mother's health could be delegated to a "health care provider". Janelle Guthrie, spokeswoman for Rob McKenna's office, said that "it could be interpreted this way", though she cautioned that this would be stretching the language and a non-standard interpretation. We would note, however, that stretching statutes is what lawyers do for breakfast.

Note also that there is no legal definition of a "health care provider" in the R.C.W. that we could find. Gosnell was delegating things like this to untrained and unlicensed family members, a crime in Pennsylvania. In the case of abortion in Washington, he could just claim these untrained individuals were "providing health care". If that sounds crazy, one must remember that when Christine Gregoire was Attorney General, she provided a formal opinion allowing certain kinds of nurses to do (chemical abortions) based on an extremely liberal reading of the state's existing (and minimal) abortion statues.

Also, note that Gosnell was never trained as an Ob/Gyn. Surely it's illegal for someone in Washington to do abortions unless they are a trained and licensed Ob/Gyn. Wrong again! You can be a podiatrist or a urologist; all you need is to be a (licensed) physician and you can do abortions all day long without violating a jot or tittle of Washington law. Ms. Guthrie did point out that you might expose yourself to some civil damages with malpractice insurance if you 'practice' outside your training, but that's far from a criminal charge, which is our focus.

So what about Gosnell's practice of having babies be born alive and then "snipping" their spinal cords with scissors? Well, while there is a federal law against partial-birth abortion, there is no state law against any kind of abortion technique. And there is no requirement to minimize the suffering of the baby you are murdering. Since Washington State law specifically says that "Any regulation promulgated by the state relating to abortion shall be valid only if ... of the available alternatives, the regulation imposes the least restrictions on the woman's right to have an abortion" it's completely possible that an abortionist who prefers to kill babies in this way would have the law on his or her side.

Next, what about Gosnell's practice of keeping aborted baby remains around his Auschwitz-like office as trophies of private holocaust? We consulted with Ms. Guthrie and her colleagues about this and the applicable law is a little vague. She did tell us that once a baby has been murdered, if it was 20 weeks or more, it is suddenly considered to be human. (How nice for the baby, he's a blob of tissue before he's murdered, then as soon as his life is brutally ended by Planned Parenthood's finest, Washington State suddenly recognizes his humanity!) There are regulations governing how "human remains" are dealt with, but any violations are misdemeanors, or at worst, a gross misdemeanor.

Finally, one might think that the filthy state of Gosnell's facility would have been discovered during routine inspections of abortion facilities in Washington State and caused the facility to have lost its license. No again. Because in Washington, abortion clinics are completely unlicensed, unregulated, and not subjected to any form of inspection ever. The Department of Health told us that monitoring of medical facilities is done on a complaint basis, which they supposedly take very seriously. Well, we saw how seriously the Pennsylvania Department of Health took the routine complaints they received: they ignored them for years. Gosnell was only discovered when he violated narcotic regulations. And Washington's DoH is known for being even more sympathetic and deferential to the abortion industry. They even recently passed new rules letting late-term abortion clinics regulate themselves with respect to administering anesthesia. (Imagine if your two-year-old asked if he could "regulate himself". Gosnell was "regulating himself".)

We have filed a couple of complaints with the DoH regarding abortion clinics employing unlicensed nurses. The result? Crickets...

So what we have discovered is that it is perfectly possible that this state is littered with a network of Kermit Gosnell's running their own houses of horrors with absolute impunity. You would think that on discovering this shameful outrage that Christine Gregoire, Jay Inslee, and our legislators would be running to Olympia to fix the situation immediately. You would think Rob McKenna would be making this a centerpiece of his campaign for Governor. You would hope that the Seattle Times and other media outlets that obsess about "human rights" would be editorializing about it. You would hope that Bill & Melinda Gates would be crying out for their home state to fix this outrage before he goes around the world telling of his compassion.

But the reality is that Seattle Leftists could care less. They seem to love abortion with all their hearts, regardless how it is done, to whom, or under what conditions. The Washington State Democratic Party and all its subsidiaries can fairly be declared monsters and barbarians. And the Republican Party is devoid of any moral conviction and can't even figure out how to take advantage of this situation as the political opportunity of the century.

As we say in Washington, Welcome to Hell.

The Ultimate Liberal Fantasy

Threatening to bomb a small, weak and defenseless African nation over "sex" comes easy to these people.

This, this, and this are going come easy to people who would kill to make their point.

Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest Continues to Promote VD Among Population

Leave it to CEO Christine Charbonneau and Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest. Really. These people are slaves to money, sex and power and I think enjoy bringing other people down into the gutter with them.
“In 2010, 283 cases of syphilis were reported, an 82 percent increase from 2009. Syphilis had been virtually eliminated in King County in the early-1990s.”

"1 in 4 teen girls has an STD, study says".

"Chlamydia becomes widest STD threat".

"Gonorrhea Superbug: First Antibiotic-Resistant STD Strain Discovered."

Don't forget PP's favorite STD, pregnancy: "Number of abortions performed by PPWW  jumped a shocking 16% from 2006 to 2007".

We've got a major public health problem on our hands and PP continues to push a piece of latex and "safe sex"? Why does anyone take these people seriously?

The only "safe sex" there is is monogomous relations betwen a married man and woman for a lifetime. Of course, PP won't tell you that. They'll tell you if it feels good do it and they'll start telling you that in preschool like they did in this handout from Mountlake Terrace Cooperative Preschool. After kids have learned to mastrubate at MTCP they are ready for full-on sex-ed,(and we do mean full-on) condoms, contraceptives and abortion in junior high and high school just like at Ballard High School.

Here's the many ways PP makes money on the whole cycle:
-Sex-ed programs paid for by taxpayers sexualize the kids at an early age. Collect $$$.
-PP abortion/contraception/sex centers sell pre-teens, teens, adults condoms, contraceptives, etc. Collect $$$
-When contraceptives fail, PP sells abortion. Collect $$$
-When teens and adults get VD, which they do, PP sells testing services through their privately owned testing clinic. Collect $$$

Repeat as necessary.

As PP leaders told Abby Johnson, "Non-profit is a tax staus, not a business model." Indeed!

Gimicks like the QR-coded condoms just keep everybody, especially the media, giggling through the broken hearts and ruined health.

Insanity of Washington State

As a follow-up to Jonathan's article on changing hearts and minds, I was reminded that England has stricter abortion laws than Washington state.
Abortion investigation: doctors filmed agreeing illegal abortions 'no questions asked'.

In England, sex-selection aboritons are illegal. Here in Washington you can abort viable baby girl triplets in the thrid-trimester and no one will bat an eyelash.  In England, Andrew Lansley, the Health Secretary, said: "I’m extremely concerned to hear about these allegations. Sex selection is illegal and is morally wrong. I’ve asked my officials to investigate this as a matter of urgency.”

Do you think we could get the gutless wonders in the state legislature to pass a law against sex-selection abortion? Maybe Democrat pro-life hero Mark Miloscia would take it on.

Constitution 1, Rob McKenna 0

Oops. Rob McKenna bet on the wrong side yesterday.  Rob McKenna believes allowing people to refuse to participate in murder is a violation of the Constitution and Judge Leighton smacked him down.

Court upholds pro-life pharmacists’ objections to dispensing abortifacient contraceptives.

We applaud the court's decision because it was the right one. AIW was at many of the Board of Pharmacy hearings and covered the controversy in-depth. We provided the only public reporting on the incestuous business relationships between Planned Parenthood of Western Washington, the UW School of Pharmacy/Don Downing, Barr Labs, the Board of Pharmacy and the governor of Washington. ALL of them colluded against pharmacists (and others) who said, "Plan B kills and we don't want to be part of it."  Specifically, they targeted Christians and people of conscience.

WE TOLD YOU SO. And the court agrees with US. He sent everyone involved in the selling and promotion of the snake-oil known as Plan B out the door.

Swedish Hospital Lied about Abortion, Allies with Butchers under Federal Investigation

While some of this news came out recently, we were holding off publishing anything while we gave the parties involved a chance to respond. We wanted to ensure we had the facts straight. But it appears clear now that Swedish Hospital has utterly disgraced itself and put itself under a moral cloud that will take a long time to undo.

In late 2011, Swedish Hospital announced a new partnership with Providence Medical Systems, a large regional Catholic hospital network. Under this arrangement, Providence required Swedish not to be directly involved in killing unborn babies. But Swedish, in a bizarre, contrived, and morally deviant move that could only come from the Seattle region, got suckered  into putting up money to help build a new Planned Parenthood abortion mill so that "abortion access would not be limited" by this move.

Before getting to the details of why Swedish would support a such a radical, controversial, and immoral organization that is under investigation for fraud in numerous states, and found to enable child rape, sexual slavery, forced abortion, and unlimited abortion on demand, it's worth noting another detail of the story that emerged.

Ten years ago, Providence sold their King County hospitals to Swedish, and there was a well publicized condition that Swedish not do abortions at any of these newly acquired facilities. Swedish apparently agreed, admitting that they were "only" doing about 50 abortions a year in hospital settings anyway, so it's not as though there was some sort of huge real issue here.

We don't need to change more hearts & minds, We need to shut down abortion clinics

One of the most irritating things you hear, especially near the Roe v. Wade anniversary, is seemingly well-meaning, but usually inactive pro-lifers, talk about how we need to change "hearts and minds" before we can see an end to the million and a half murdered babies each year in the United States. And usually everyone listening nods approvingly with a serious look on their faces as if they've just heard some deep profundity uttered.

Rubbish. Absolute rubbish.

Protest the Anti-Catholic Tyrant

Why is it Only Democrats can focus on Social Issues during Down Economy?

One of the most irritating things conservatives and Republicans have been doing in this election season has been saying that with the economy in the state it's in, candidates must focus on economic issues, and put social issues on hold "for a while". Nationally-syndicated radio talk show host Michael Medved is a perfect example of this.

These people never say just exactly when we'll know the voting masses will be able to handle social issues so that the pro-lifers can come back out of the closet. Is there some magical GDP number that means we can start protecting unborn children from genocide?

The absolute ridiculousness of this whole position has been starkly demonstrated here in Washington State with the ideological bender that our leftist Democrat legislature has been on lately. In the middle of yet another budget crisis, did the Democrats say to themselves: "You know, with this economy and the budget shortfall, and spending problems, we have to focus on economic issues"???

NO! They decided to push through one of the most radical pieces of social engineering in state history by redefining marriage. Well, then surely they said: "That huge social agenda item is enough non-economic stuff until we figure out the budget"???

NO! They've decided to try push through a highly controversial and frankly completely bizarre bill for the abortion  industry. If you haven't heard, this legislation would force all health insurance companies to treat killing babies by abortion as morally equal to giving birth. They can't even tell you if there are any insurance companies that don't cover abortion already, and we are already the most pro-abortion state in the union.

So how is it that Democrats can walk and chew gum at the same time, but the brain trusts in the Republican Party tell us that we can't talk about abortion during a recession? No, it's time to put that argument to bed once and for all.

Fetus Escapes Beating by Mom's Boyfriend

...and the former uterine contents with the potential to become a reporter and the products of conception with the potential to become an editor were of course relieved that the "fetus appears to be unharmed."

Laci Peterson and Sharon Tate all had "unborn babies". Why not this 18-year-old mom?

Seattle Archbishop Urges Catholics to Fight Against Unnatural Unions and Insurance Mandates

      In a very grave violation of our religious liberty, the proposed abortion-insurance mandate before the Washington State Legislature similarly would place the Church, Catholic health care and all Catholic organizations and employers in an absolutely impossible situation.
      We, the bishops of the Archdiocese of Seattle, have an obligation to make you aware of the seriousness of the situation and to ask for prayer and action to turn back these efforts to deny our constitutionally guaranteed right to religious liberty as a church. In generations past, the people of God, the Church, has always stood up to protect our sacred rights. Today we are again called upon to stand up for these rights. We will do so as loyal Americans and loyal Catholics.

Komen Caves or Komen Fights Back?

We feel for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. We really do. But on the other hand, anyone doing business with the Abortion mafia should know by now what they are getting into. Komen willingly partnered with PP so they cannot claim they were forced thru blackmail or threats. Now, however, SGK and the American people are seeing PP's true colors that pro-lifers have been warning the American people about for decades.

We see it whenever funding for contraceptives comes up. "Vote for 'family planning' or the baby gets it." The sick logic being that contraceptives will stop women from getting pregnant with babies they will abort.

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Still Pushing Population Control

Infowars has a great piece on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and their support for, among other things, population control.
Go read the article there as they pretty much cover it.

AIW has been critical of BMGF in the past and don't see any reason to stop now.

Bill's father, Bill Gates, Sr. is a former board member of Planned Parenthood of Western Washington.  The BMGF is rumored to have a conference room named after Margaret Sanger. If any of our readers can verify that, please send me an email.

One thing I didn't know about was BMGF's financial sponsorship of the mainstream media and various media ventures under the guise of "health" and "helping the poor". Of course, this is an old trick that Planned Parenthood and NARAL use to their advantage. I don't suppose he could throw a few bucks our way? We are promoting true health care and exposing those who would get in the way of helping moms and babies.

Komen Foundation Defunds Planned Parenthood!

Well it's about time.

Planned Parenthood never even provided mamograms to women according to undercover audio recorded by Live Action.

Furthermore, Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest, one of the recipients of Komen money in the past, doesn't need the money. They have $36 million in the bank (according to their 2006 tax filings). Planned Parenthood of Central Washington has $7 million in the bank.

Maybe now is the time they could dip into their own bank account and start helping the poor who need mamograms.

HB 2448: Promotes Sodomy, Sex, and Secularism to Pre-Schoolers...

...Oh, and making sure a two year old can balance on one foot briefly.
That's the gist of what's in HB 2448.

Here's what Research Mom says about the bill:

HB 2448 will create and fund the complete takeover of childcare from pre-birth to age five, at which time mandatory Kindergarten takes place. Starting with the funding of a “voluntary” Washington Preschool Program and phasing in birth through three year olds, the plans will eventually create a regulated school system with performance standards, one-size-fits-all outcomes, and assessments for all children birth to five. The Department of Early Learning (DEL) 2011-2014 Strategic plans reveal that this “high quality” government early learning system will provide programs that include prenatal care, health, nutrition, social-emotional mental health development, parent/community partnerships, and required college degrees for all providers. (pg 7)

You can find the curriculum for the children in the handbook called “Early Learning and Development Benchmarks”.  This manual lays out a set of one-size-fits-all outcomes that all children are expected to attain at each stage.
