Planned Parenthood Secretly Buys Land for New Offices
By Randy Hall
CNSNews.com Staff Writer/Editor
August 24, 2007
(CNSNews.com) - The nation's biggest abortion provider is seeking to
avoid opposition when buying property or building new facilities
through secrecy, or what one pro-life leader called "a series of cover-
ups" in such places as Denver, Colo., Portland, Ore., and Aurora, Ill.
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) - a division of the
Planned Parenthood Federation of America - announced this week it will
break ground in November on a $4.2 million headquarters and clinic on
northwest Denver property it bought secretly last year.
Planned Parenthood, which receives $305.3 million in tax dollars a
year, is the largest abortion chain in the United States and has
killed more than 3 million children by abortion, according to the
American Life League.
PPRM Senior Vice President Leslie Durgin told the Denver Post that the
organization initially intended to complete the entire project in
secrecy to avoid the kind of protests and delays Planned Parenthood
building projects have encountered elsewhere.
But when a reporter discovered that the group had bought an entire
city block under a different name, the organization acknowledged that
ground would be broken for its new 50,000-square-foot, three-story
center in November and that the facility was slated to begin operation
in August 2008.
PPRM moved to its current Denver location, a former bank, in 1973,
Durgin said. Twenty-three years later, it added a second location for
administrative offices.
"We really wanted to build a state-of-the-art health-care facility and
to consolidate our programs and services. To do that in the current
facilities was not realistic," she said, adding that the new structure
would be the first new clinic the 90-year-old organization has built
in the Denver area.
Leslie Hanks, vice president of Colorado Right to Life, told Cybercast
News Service on Thursday that her organization has begun making plans
to launch protests and initiate boycotts when construction on the new
structure begins.
"We have a strong presence at their current 'death camp,' where we
save about 100 babies a year," she said. "Every day they kill,
protesters are there, and we don't intend to go away anytime soon."
Hanks said she suspected PPRM might be looking to move to another
location since "they've really let that facility go down the tubes.
It's all sprayed with graffiti, and they haven't tried to clean it up
or anything."
Over the next few months, pro-life forces "intend to try to get more
'troops' and step up our pressure and efforts to expose the lies
Planned Parenthood tells," Hanks added, "such as denying that they
target minorities."
"Every day in this country, 1,600 black babies die at the hands of
abortionists, and they tend to put their centers right in the heart of
minority neighborhoods," Hanks said. "And this new facility is no
exception," because it's to be built in an area with more minority
residents than the current structures.
"Let's face it," she added, Planned Parenthood is "in the business to
kill babies for profit."
However, Durgin responded that African-American women received only 7
percent of the abortions it provided in 2006, compared with 55.5
percent for white women, and PPRM served 125,000 people in five states
last year. Of those, 8,800 African-American women received abortions.
As Cybercast News Service previously reported, the Planned Parenthood
Federation of America last year experienced a drop in donations and
the first fall in income from clinics in its history.
Jim Sedlak, executive director of Stop Planned Parenthood (STOPP)
International, said he believes those factors have led the PPFA and
its affiliates to engage in what he called "a series of cover-ups"
across the country.
"This is now the third major facility that they've tried to build
secretly," Sedlak told Cybercast News Service on Thursday. Besides
Denver, "one was in Portland, Ore., where they tried to go through a
front organization to buy the land from the city and build" until the
ruse was discovered.
And in Aurora, Ill., a 22,000-square-foot structure was built under a
fake name, he said.
"The sign out front said 'Gemini Health Systems,'" Sedlak said. "It
was only about a month ago that one of the workers got suspicious when
he saw they were installing bullet-proof glass. He started raising
questions, which got to local reporters, and the reporters found out
that it's a Planned Parenthood facility" set to open Sept. 18.
"Planned Parenthood has such a bad name that they can't even tell
people when they're planning to build a building," he said. "They have
to sneak into a community."
As a result, STOPP is warning people across the nation that "if you
have a major new health facility in your area at all, suspect it may
be Planned Parenthood and go find out about it," said Sedlak.
Back in Denver, the PPRM work site will be fenced, and protesters will
not be allowed inside the boundaries of private property, Durgin said.
"We don't expect to have a police presence on a daily basis unless we
need it," she said, "in which case we'll call for it, and I have been
assured we will get it."
Sedlak responded that the police in Denver have been occupied, though
not quite in the way Durgin thought they would be.
"There have been two arrests out there, but they were local people who
were harassing the protestors," he said.

Women's Clinics 1996: A Year of Living Dangerously
Revolutionary Worker #892, February 2, 1997
Doctors, nurses, clinic owners, workers and escorts--these people are on the
frontlines in the battle to defend abortion rights. Every day, they face
vicious threats and harassment. Forced to wear bullet-proof vests. Subjected
to death threats. Vilified and isolated by a reactionary climate. They must
summon courage just to go to work each day. But they know that without the
right to choose, many women's lives are ruined. They know enforced
motherhood is a recipe for crushed dreams.
Women's clinics around the country have been put in a state of siege. This
is an intolerable situation. All those who support a woman's right to choose
need to step up the struggle to defend women's health clinics by any means
necessary. For without clinics, there is no choice.
How urgent is the situation?
1991:
# Two clinic workers shot at a Springfield, Missouri clinic. One worker
paralyzed from the waist down, the other wounded in the stomach.
1993:
# Dr. David Gunn, killed outside a clinic in Pensacola, Florida
# Dr. George Tiller, shot outside his clinic in Wichita, Kansas
# Dr. Wayne Patterson, killed in Mobile, Alabama.
1994:
# Dr. John Bayard Britton and his escort James Barrett, killed in Pensacola,
FL.
# June Barrett, James Barrett's wife, survives gunshot wounds
# Dr. Garson Romalis, shot in his home in Vancouver, Canada
# Shannon Lowney, killed at Planned Parenthood in Brookline, MA
# Leanne Nichols, killed at Pre Term in Brookline, MA
1995:
# Dr. Hugh Short, shot while inside his home in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada
1996:
# In New Orleans, Louisiana. Dr. Calvin Jackson stabbed 15 times, so
severely he lost four pints of blood.
1977-1996:
# 6 Murders
# 12 Attempted murders
# 41 Bombings
# 108 Arsons
# 69 Attempted bombing/arsons
# 351 Invasions
# 616 Vandalism
# 97 Assault & Battery
# 268 Death Threats
# 2 Kidnappings
# 37 Burglary
# 277 Stalking
# 3,020 Hate Mail & Phone Calls
# 354 Bomb Threats
# 9,366 Picketing
# 641 Blockades
In the wake of the January 16 bombing of Northside Family Planning Services
in Atlanta, GA, the mainstream press was quick to point out that in 1996,
there was "a slight decline in violence" against women's health clinics. But
the truth is, women's health clinics remained under siege throughout 1996.
Planned Parenthood affiliates reported an average of five incidents of
harassment or violence each month in 1996, an increase over 1995.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. recently released a
"Preliminary 1996 Chronicle of Clinic Violence." This document represents
information about incidents reported to Planned Parenthood's Clinic Defense
& Research department and is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all
incidents of clinic violence. And it doesn't list the weekly and sometimes
daily picketing and numerous threats experienced by many clinics. It serves,
however, as an indicator of the frequency and extent of violence directed at
women's clinics around the country.
The following list of attacks in 1996 is taken from the Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood Secretly Buys Land for New Offices
By Randy Hall

(CNSNews.com) - The nation's biggest abortion provider is seeking to

Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) - a division of the

northwest Denver property it bought secretly last year.

Planned Parenthood, which receives $305.3 million in tax dollars a

Planned Parenthood Secretly Buys Land for New Offices

This is business as usual for any individual or corporation that is
interested in an expensive land purchase. Disney World did not
exactly publicize they were building a park in Orlando before the land
was obtained.

LOL!! PP has to install bullet-proof glass because they have such a "bad
name!" I'm glad they have the courage to provide their valuable services,
despite the often violent pressure from religious kooks.

Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) - a division of the
Planned Parenthood Federation of America - announced this week it will
break ground in November on a $4.2 million headquarters and clinic on
northwest Denver property it bought secretly last year.

Is that "secretly" or, "They went through normal channels to
build a medical facility and we've only recently just noticed because
they had to take certain steps to protect them from radical
Christofacists?"

I'll make it simple for you: Elf asked whether the project was in fact
carried out secretly. I pointed out the quotation that admitted that
it was ... which was directly responsive to Elf's question. You then
pointed out the reason for the secrecy ... which had no bearing on
Elf's question nor my answer.
Get it yet?

zoning for the parcel - which it was. Unless you're one of the folks
