Planned [Non-]Parenthood lies, and thousands die, or will in Aurora:
Without shame, Planned Parenthood confessed to intentionally avoiding public disclosure and transparency because of its perceived fear of negative public reaction. Equally shameless was how facilely Planned Parenthood defenders excused this end-justifies-the-means strategy,
says ChiTrib columnist Dennis Byrne today, not knowing, though maybe suspecting, that the city of Aurora was to give the OK to its new under-radar “women’s health center” this afternoon.
Facile is PP’s middle name when it comes to misrepresenting its opponents, says Byrne, detailing its sweeping, discredited claims of anti-abortion violence.
These claims were offered by ChiTrib columnist Eric Zorn as justifying “creative subterfuge.” But they also are the basis for the libel suit protestors filed (also today) in Kane County.
“You cannot accuse the peaceful citizens of violent crimes and advocating violence simply because you disagree with their message,” said Tom Brejcha, an attorney with Thomas More Society of Chicago.
Byrne also noted that the Aurora protestors have been “legal and constitutionally protected” — a point of special interest in that Zorn’s drumbeat was all about legality:
In fact, the deceptions are an effort by Planned Parenthood to be sure the law is followed — to be sure their plans and proposals are considered as though they came from an organization engaged in lawful activity. Which, in fact, they do.
Ah, but protestors are also so engaged, are they not?
