Planned Parenthood's Crazy Claim: Romney Puts Women's Lives at Risk
Apparently none of the previous attacks on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney have succeeded, so Planned Parenthood abortion business president Cecile Richards has taken her rhetoric to the next level.
Now, Richards claims Romney is putting women's lives at risk. How? Because he opposes forcing taxpayers to fund the nation's biggest abortion company, which does hundreds of thousands of abortions annually and more than 25 percent of the 1.2 million seen in the United States every year.

Former GOP Party Chair: Planned Parenthood Targets Blacks
The former chairman of the Republican National Committee said in an interview on Monday that the Planned Parenthood abortion business targets African-Americans. Michael Steele told Laura Ingraham's Monday radio show, when asked about the NAACP, that the prominent pro-abortion organization is no friend of the black community.
Steele also said the relationship between the NAACP and Planned Parenthood should be made better known.
"It is one of those twists of history that I"ve yet to understand and how when you look at something like the NAACP siding up with an organization like Planned Parenthood that has as part of its history and its charter and its existence - you know, the use of abortion to eliminate and limit the number of African-Americans and other minorities in this country, to me it's just beyond the pale," Steele said.

Planned Parenthood Encourages Woman to Get Sex-Selection Abortion
The investigative pro-life group Live Action, which has released videos exposing the abuses at the Planned Parenthood abortion business across the country, has released a new video today showing a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Austin, Texas encouraging a woman to get a sex-selection abortion.
The video shows a Planned Parenthood staffer encouraging the woman to obtain a late-term abortion because she was purportedly carrying a girl and wanted to have a boy. The video is first in a new series titled "Gendercide: Sex-Selection in America," that Live Action tells LifeNews will be exposing the practice of sex-selective abortion in the United States and how Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry facilitate the selective elimination of baby girls in the womb.
"I see that you"re saying that you want to terminate if it's a girl, so are you just wanting to continue the pregnancy in the meantime?" a Planned Parenthood counselor named "Rebecca" offers the woman, who is purportedly still in her first trimester and cannot be certain about the gender.

Planned Parenthood Mtg on Overbilling Govt: "We Won't Get Caught"
I remember the meeting like it was yesterday. All of the clinic directors assembled in the main conference room. Sitting in a sort of squared-circle facing each other.
We were being told that we had all been guilty of fraudulent billing to the state and federal government. We didn't even know that we had been participating in the fraud. We were all sitting there in silence. What did this mean? Were we in trouble? Could we potentially get in trouble? So, I broke the silence. I simply asked, "What are we going to do about the money we shouldn't have received?" The response, "We are going to hope we don't get caught." But"¦"What if we do get caught? Can we be held responsible?" She then went into a long story about a similar situation she had once been in at a clinic where she once worked. The moral of the story was, yes, we could all be held responsible"¦but not to worry, "we" wouldn't get caught. Ref. Source 6
