Is Planned Parenthood Now Teaming Up With Occupy Wall St?

Planned Parenthood Joins the Occupy Wall Street MovementHas Planned Parenthood joined forces with Occupy Wall Street?

While that has yet to definitively be determined, the group did join numerous leftist forces in Florida on Thursday to protest against Republican Governor Rick Scott. Among those groups present at a local rally was, of course, Occupy Orlando. LifeNews.com has more:

Awake the State*, which organized the rally, was accompanied by Planned Parenthood and Occupy Orlando at Senator Beth Johnson Park to stand “in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and the larger Occupy movement against corporate greed and control over government.”

Planned Parenthood, of course, was most interested in attending the event so that the organization could voice opposition to pro-life bills that Scott has supported since becoming governor this past January. In an e-mail to supporters, The American Independent reports that Planned Parenthood wrote the following:

Last session, Gov. Rick Scott and government bureaucrats launched an all-out assault on Florida women and families by filing 18 dangerous and invasive anti-choice bills. Now, it seems like it’s more of the same for the 2012 session.

Instead of strengthening the economy or creating jobs, they are playing politics with women’s health by introducing legislation that allows government bureaucrats to interfere with decisions that should be made by a woman in conjunction with her doctor, her family and her faith. We won’t stand for these games. Enough is enough.

Here, the reproductive rights group appears to be mixing economic strain and unemployment woes with its push for laws that are more friendly to abortion and other reproductive services. It’s an interesting mix, although it’s not unprecedented for the group to involve itself in such antics.

Van Jones reports that Planned Parenthood is only one of many groups to join his “Rebuild the American Dream” movement — which, ironically, holds very similar beliefs as the Occupy protests.

Interestingly, Awake the State appears to have ties to Organize Now, the potentially ACORN-related group that the Blaze reported on earlier this week. A message posted last week on the Organize Now web site is entitled, “Awake the State Joins Occupy Orlando.” It advertises the aforementioned event that Planned Parenthood was a part of.

“In solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and the larger Occupy movement against corporate greed and control over our government, we are speaking out again,” the message reads.

According to the Orlando Weekly, only about 150 people showed up, with blogger Jeff Gore claiming that the event had a “lukewarm reception.”

* Awake the State describes itself as a group that’s working to “…urge our state legislators to reject budget cuts, stop the assault on our middle class families, and invest in Floridians again.”

      Maybe someone should remind these people about Margret Sanger, the “founder” of PP. Look at some of her speeches about involintary sterilization for black communities, or the speech she gave in German about “cleansing” the German race of the lower classes of humanity. She was an evil winch.

    This reminds me of a video I just say. There is a paraglider in the air somewhere in Russia, enjoying his time, then a vulture collides with his lines and they both start to fall. ( http://www.americanparchment.com/video/2011/nov/vulture_paraglider.html ) They crash and burn, both of them. Just like Planned Parenthood and OWS, they come together to crash together. Sadly they will probably survive, at least planned parenthood.

      I’m not sure how Planned Parenthood qualifies saving the unborn from murder, “playing politics”; but it goes to show that those who control the language control the argument. It seems that there is some fear from the average conservative to stand up and call out this kind of deception. There are larger groups of course who do a wonderful job of presenting facts and keeping the arguments clearly defined; but to win the soul of this country back, we all have to be foot soldiers for truth and be willing to enter any arena and stand up for what’s right–changing BACK the language to reflect the truth of their manipulation.

      Maybe we could make abortions retroactive until they are 25. That would solve a large part of the problem. Think Planned Parenthood woud assist with these “late term” abortions?

    Well, I guess if you are going to get raped at an Occupy event at least there might be a chance they’ll choose to use a free condom or you can get the morning after pill once you leave the hospital.

      a little off topic,just looked though the “front-page” of the blaze, and guess what?? not one mention of one of glenns favorite places!! goldline! why hasn’t it been posted about them being charged with 19 counts of fraud and theft?? 19?? wow,now thats some news that the people on here need to hear!!:
      The complaint alleges that Goldline “runs a bait and switch operation in which customers, seeking to invest in gold bullion, are switched to highly overpriced coins by using false and misleading claims,” according to a statement released by the consumer affairs division of the Santa Monica City Attorney’s office.

      The company has been charged in the court filing with misdemeanors that include theft by false pretenses, false advertising, and conspiracy, the City Attorney’s office said. In addition to the charges against the company, the complaint accuses former CEO Mark Albarian, executives Robert Fazio and Luis Beeli, and salespeople Charles Boratgis and Stephanie Howard of defrauding customers. Current CEO Scott Carter is accused of making false or misleading statements.

    Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America. 78% of their clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Are we being targeted? Isn’t that genocide? We are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant. Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the ***** Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? The founder of Planned Parenthood said, “Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated.” Is her vision being fulfilled today?

    Wow, some of our officials don’t like the idea of killing innocent life in the womb! Okay – so, what’s the problem?

    Everyone is so worried about the woman’s rights being violated but those who are so pro abortion seem to ignore that the life inside should have some rights too.

    Come on Planned Parenthood, the hundreds of thousands of abortions have little to do with rape, incest, or mother’s life in danger issues. They’re about convenience. They’re about not wanting to take precautions to not get pregnant.

    If people don‘t want to get pregnant don’t do what gets you pregnant. If you can’t afford the child – don’t create him/her.

    Be honest for a change.
