 When I read a few weeks ago that Planned Parenthood suspected yet another sting was going on I wondered what that lying viper Lila Rose and her anti-abortion group Live Action were up to now. The last hoax of a sting led by Rose was part of the AUL report that would become the grounds for opening up a Congressional Investigation into Planned Parenthood. That would be the investigation Susan G. Komen would use as the excuse for defunding Planned Parenthood.
It’s no coincidence that Rose’s Live Action latest video was released to coincide with the Prenatal Discrimination Act up for a vote on the floor of Congress tomorrow, Wednesday, 5/30/12. This is simply the next move in the war against women’s rights. The video claims that, “the search-and-destroy targeting of baby girls through prenatal testing and abortion is a pandemic that is spreading across the globe. Research proves that sex-selective abortion has now come to America. The abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood, is a willing participant.” According to NARAL, the Prenatal Discrimination Act bill would, “subject a doctor to five years in prison for failing to determine if sex is a factor in a woman’s decision to choose an abortion,” and “threaten any medical professional who does not report even a suspected case of sex selection.” Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0pdhjl2XDY Sex selective Abortion? Seriously? There is no issue with sex selective abortion in this country but in China it is a huge issue because of China’s One Child Policy. It is as much an issue in Taiwan, India, Korea, and Pakistan. Enter the right wing Susan B. Anthony List and their Charlotte Lozier Institute, which is the anti-choice movement’s Guttmacher. According to a Lozier Institute Poll, 80% of the respondents would support banning sex selective abortion. This was clearly an angle that needed to be played, ergo yet another transparently deceptive Lila Rose, scary music, video implying Planned Parenthood is pushing sex selective abortion, when it does no such thing. I watched the video and clearly the counselor is not pressuring the young woman, who claims to want an abortion if the baby is a girl, to have an abortion. The counselor is warm, helpful, and answers the young woman’s questions non-judgmentally. My heart sank for her as I watched because she was so nice and doing everything she possibly could to help, and had absolutely no idea she was being played or that she might be doing something wrong. I don’t know what the standard Planned Parenthood procedure is, I understand the counselor in question has been fired, but it looks to me like she was guilty of a compassionate heart and a huge desire to help another woman. As for explaining the ins and outs of Medicaid, I have heard the same conversation between friends on the DeCamp bus going into the city, in the locker room at the gym, in the kitchen of a restaurant I once managed, and between nurses with whom I periodically work. The insurance game is a game that people play that we wouldn’t have to play if we had an effective single payer system. As for the Prenatal Discrimination Bill, which is being promoted as a means to stop sex selective abortions, what’s it’s really about is legislating at the federal level the reasons why a woman would not be allowed to legally terminate her pregnancy. AUL is the legal wing of the anti-choice movement and writes all anti-choice legislation. According to AUL’s 2012 Defending Life that is going to be the focus of their legislation this year, new laws at the state and federal level, to legislate the reasons underlying a woman’s decision to get an abortion. Charmaine Yoest, President and CEO of AUL, calls Lila Rose a modern day Upton Sinclair, a female muckraker connecting the dots between the slaughter houses of Chicago in the early 1900’s and modern day abortion. I can think of a lot of things I’d like to call Lila Rose, muckracker isn’t one of them. Blindly ambitious, self-righteous, a woman who has no problem fabricating reality to suit her needs and goals, Ms. Rose is a female mirror image of her friend James O’Keefe, and like O’Keefe, Grover Norquist, Karl Rove, Mitch O’Connell, and Eric Cantor, Morton Blackwell’s Leadership Institute. The Leadership Institute is the Mothership of Dominionism; Lila Rose is its Crown Princess. Please sign the petition to stop the passage of The Prenatal Discrimination Act. https://secure.prochoiceamerica.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=5291 From my heart to yours.

 Republican Representative Kimberly Yee, the sponsor of HB 2036, is the first Asian American woman to serve in the Arizona State Legislation. She was originally appointed by the Maricopa County Board to replace Republican Representative Doug Quellan, who was removed from office in August 2010 for violating Clean Election Limits. The pro-life, pro-guns, pro-privatized health-care, Yee was recommended to the Maricopa County Board by none other than Governor Janice Brewer. At the time Yee was working as the communications director for the Arizona State Treasurer’s Office, the frosting on the cake of a work resume that included serving in Governor Arnold Schwartzenegger’s administration and working in California Governor Pete Wilson’s office.
The Chairman of strongly Republican Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to whom Brewer addressed Yee’s letter of recommendation was Don Stapley. Stapley is a real estate developer whose loan deal(s) with Silver State Banking have been linked to unsafe and unsound banking practices but the dealings are so convoluted the FDIC is having a hell of time making their case stick. Vice Chairman under Don Stapley was Fulton Brock, whose now ex-wife, the devoutly Morman Susan, was convicted of sexually molesting a fourteen-year old teenage boy and is currently serving a fifteen year prison sentence. Two months after his wife was arrested, Brock’s twenty-two year old daughter was arrested for molesting the same boy. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to ten years of probation with one year of deferred jail time. This is the Republican pro-life, pro-family pool out which Kimberly Yee crawled. As point person for the right of right, right wing Arizona Center for Public Policy Ms. Yee sponsored the horrific HB 2838, which would have banned abortions after twenty weeks. Due to the testimony and overwhelming response (phone calls, emails, petitions) against the bill from women across the country, it was pulled from the Arizona House Health Committee. The fact that Ms. Yee chose to then employ a “strike all amendment,” a political sleigh of hand to resurrect the bill, speaks to the evil genius of the willing and ambitious puppet’s puppeteers. The point of a “strike all,” is to completely remake a bill under the shadow of darkness without the pesky inconvenience of committee hearings and public scrutiny. HB 2036 originally had something to do with regulations in the Attorney General’s office and had already passed the house and was in the Senate. Ms. Yee removed or “struck” all the language of the original bill that was HB 2036 and replaced or “amended” it with new language, namely the language of HB 2838. Now, if a “strike all amendment” is adopted by the chamber in which it was proposed, the new language in the “strike-all” becomes the language in the bill, which is exactly what happened. This is how HB 2838 became HB 2036. As per the workings of the “strike all amendment,” the amended bill, in this case HB 2036, is then returned to the chamber where it originated to be voted upon. HB 2036 rendering a woman’s legal right to an abortion null and void after a gestation period of twenty weeks, passed with a strong majority in both the house and the senate and was signed into law by Governor Jan Brewer, April 12th, 2012. Ms Yee’s response, “I want to thank Governor Brewer for signing the Women’s Health and Safety Act. This vital bill strengthens Arizona’s laws protecting the health and safety of women and recognized the precious life of the pre-born baby.” Women’s health and safety? Cleary Ms. Yee, yet another woman’s face on the moral right of Patriarchy, has been reading the Charmaine Yoest handbook. Live loud, love fierce, and suffer no fools.
