Dumpster dive at abortion clinic yields horrific find
Over the course of a month, pro-lifers involved with Citizens for a Pro-Life Society have run an organized campaign of snatching bags of trash from WomanCare clinic in Lathrup, Michigan. WomanCare is part of a chain of six abortion clinics run by abortionist Alberto Hodari. The CPLS investigation yielded a horrific find: unshredded medical records, improperly disposed biological waste and the remains of several aborted children! The group alerted the police, who raided the clinic dumpster on Monday, using hazardous materials gear to haul away the blood-soaked trash bags.
Dr. Monica Miller, who organized the CPLS dumpster investigation, says she has been digging through abortion clinic dumpsters for years to rescue the remains of aborted babies and ensure that they are given a proper burial. She has been given a guarantee by the local police that they will allow her to bury the aborted babies who were recently removed. Because no one told her to stay off the property, she will not be charged for going through the dumpsters on private property. Below is the report Dr. Miller made to the police (provided courtesy of the Catholic Pro-Life Committee):
“Milissa and I began investigating the dumpster behind the WomanCare facility Friday, February 8, 2008.
What we found that Friday were patient records and open condom wrappers.
By looking through these documents we learned patients’ names, phone numbers, addresses, ages, how long their pregnancy had lasted, what they were being seen by the doctor for, insurance forms, methods of payment, and several lab reports. We also discovered in the trash used syringes, ultrasound pictures of the babies, dozens of used drug vials, several used IV bags with the sharps still attached, bloody absorbent paper, open condom wrappers, used condoms, and bloody used laminaria.
On our third trash investigation we also found bloody canulas and human tissue distinguishably not a baby, except this time we also discovered infant body parts, including arms, hands, legs, feet, a spine, a ribcage, and eyes.
We estimate we found at least ten different infants. Each one was wrapped in a bloody gauze, tied at the end. Once you turned these inside out, you would find the infant parts. Each bloody gauze that was filled with an infant was wrapped in the absorbent paper used to cover the operating table which was soaked in blood, and used, bloody, latex gloves.”
While Hodari purports to keep patient information confidential, obviously this is a lie. Hodari has killed women while performing abortions, has failed to report statutory rape and was caught on video telling a group of students at Wayne State University that doctors have a license to lie to their patients.
We applaud Dr. Miller and Citizens for a Pro-Life Society. Their actions have brought dignity to the remains of the children killed by Hodari and have shown the nation that abortionists are not the kind, compassionate people Planned Parenthood and the rest of Big Abortion want you to believe they are. Bravo, team!

Yet another Planned Parenthood controversy
In 2005, Victor Gonzalez, a former vice president of Planned Parenthood-Los Angeles, filed a lawsuit against PPLA for “illegal accounting, billing and donations practices.” Gonzalez alleges that PPLA was billing the state quite a bit extra for certain services – to the tune of over $180,000,000!
On Tuesday, American Life League issued a media release calling for a nationwide investigation of Planned Parenthood:
“Every state’s attorney general should be alarmed by Planned Parenthood’s apparent $180 million fraud against California,” said Andrew Flusche, staff attorney for American Life League. “Attorneys general have the duty to protect their citizens from fraudulent practices by government contractors. Planned Parenthood’s practices in California should prompt immediate nationwide investigations into the way it bills each state.”
Read the rest of the media release here and then ask yourself what new controversy Planned Parenthood will find itself embroiled in next week. Leave your thoughts here on the blog.
We’ve just uploaded a Tell Your Pro-Life Story video from Sharlette. Check it out!
Surfing through recent YouTube additions, we came across a heart-wrenching video posted by Adele Ramos. Hailing from Belize City, Belize, Adele (also known as Black Orchid) is a journalist (assistant editor of Amandala newspaper), a poet, a singer, a publisher (with Ramos Publishing) and an artist. She has an amazing spoken word performance entitled “Momma Can’t Buy You a Thing.” You can watch the video here. A powerful performance indeed!
If you haven’t already, watch the powerful video by Adele Ramos and then head on over to her YouTube page to leave a kind word or two. Showing compassion requires action, so take a minute to make a positive impact. You can also reach her on her MySpace page.
PP and the KKK (OMG!): Just saw this posted on Jill Stanek’s ever-amazing blog … Glenn McCoy has done several pro-life cartoons before and he scores again with this timely jab at Planned Parenthood and the latest controversy over their willingness to take racially motivated donations to kill non-white babies.
Tell us what you think here. Does it go too far or do you think that comparisons between the KKK and Planned Parenthood are justified?
CHANTING ABORTION CLINIC WORKERS? Sometimes you read something so odd, you just have to share it. Check out this little gem from yesterday’s 40 Days for Life e-mail newsletter:
Miguel in El Paso, Texas writes of unusual happenings involving clinic employees sitting around a fire outside the building late at night when they didn’t know anyone else was nearby.
“At one point the co-owner of the clinic walked to the front with two containers of what appeared to be a clear liquid,” Miguel said. “As she chanted something unrecognizable, she poured the liquid all around the entrance and the walkway that the ‘customers’ use to enter.”
Neighbors told him this happens often, sometimes as late as 4 AM. The woman noticed Miguel and then poured more liquid on the sidewalk — with a look of hate on her face as she glared at him.
“When they left, one of their cars sped up towards me as if to run me over. It stopped just a few feet short.”
It’s not too late to get involved in these final days of the 40 Days for Life campaign. Head on over to their web site and search for the vigil nearest you. If so inclined, drop us a comment here on the blog.

A mistake I never made: I was 16, my boyfriend and I broke up 3 weeks earlier. I was happy with my life, I felt better without him…the day before Easter my sister and I were out shopping for gifts. I snuck in a pregnancy test in my stuff. We got home and I took the test. Two not so faint pink lines appeared. I cried. My Mom found out soon by word of mouth. She insisted I have an abortion…

My abortion testimony: As a teenager in school, I was told it was just a blob and not a life so I actually paid to have my child killed. It really messes with my mind now…the proponents of abortion say it’s a woman’s choice, but there was no choice for my girlfriend. I forced her to get it. She wanted to have the baby…

Money was collected to kill me: When my mother found out she was pregnant at the age of 19, she was very scared…her friends gathered money together to “help” her get an abortion…
