Protest at New Haven Planned
Parenthood Facility on August 22 warns: “PP Sells Baby
Parts”
New
Haven, CT — In light of
recent revelations that Planned Parenthood has been harvesting and selling
aborted baby parts, concerned citizens of New Haven are calling for a protest at
the Planned Parenthood facility at 345 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT on August 22 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. This effort
is part of a National Day of Protest taking place at Planned Parenthood offices
and abortion facilities all across the United States (http://www.protestpp.com) to raise awareness about
Planned Parenthood’s trafficking of aborted baby parts.
Undercover videos (see links below) released
by the Center for Medical Progress reveal that Planned Parenthood abortion
clinics, with the sanction of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, are
involved in the harvesting of body parts of unborn children aborted in their
facilities and profiting from their sale contrary to federal laws prohibiting
such practices. The videos show high-level Planned Parenthood executives
haggling over the prices of fetal specimens. The videos also raise ethical
questions about the exploitation of unborn children for financial gain and risks
to women’s health if abortion procedures are altered solely to procure more
profitable specimens.
As a consequence of this public scandal,
several states have initiated investigations of Planned Parenthood and
legislation has been introduced in Congress to defund the abortion giant.
Planned Parenthood currently receives over $500 million in taxpayer funding
annually.
WHO: concerned
citizens of New Haven
WHAT: Protest
calling attention to PP’s baby parts trafficking
WHERE: Planned
Parenthood, 345 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT
WHEN: August
22, 2015 from 9:00 a.m. to11:00 a.m.
The
ProtestPP.com coalition is headed by Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Created
Equal, 40 Days for Life and the Pro-Life Action League, and is co-sponsored by
fifty state and national pro-life organizations.
Local spokesman Timothy O’Rourke Jr.
said:
“All politics is local. We cannot only look
to Washington, DC and our state governments to solve this problem. Planned
Parenthood is located in large and small communities all across America. Each
community with a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic or satellite office needs to
take action against the killing of babies and the trafficking of their body
parts. Concerned local citizens from New Haven will be sending the message that
it’s well past time for Planned Parenthood to be closed in New
Haven!”
