Planned Parenthood lies when attacking pro-lifers

Planned Parenthood, trying to pressure Aurora, Ill., officials to allow a new superstore abortion clinic to open quickly even though it was deceptive in its permit applications, has launched an attack on area pro-lifers by citing their "violent tendencies," even though the claims at issue were rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court three times, including a rare unanimous decision just last year.The attack came from Steve Trombley, president of Planned Parenthood/Chicago Area, who sent a three-page letter to all 12 Aurora aldermen and Mayor Tom Weisner following accusations the abortion business defrauded city staff about the medical building, which was scheduled to open Sept. 18.However, since the site is zoned for medical offices under a temporary occupancy permit under the name of Gemini Health Center, Weisner said the city will do an investigation on the legality of the permitting process."We're not going to allow operations to begin until we've accomplished the investigation," the mayor said. He said it needs to be determined whether the application for the occupancy permit was fatally flawed because of the deception.Planned Parenthood repeatedly listed the name of the owner as Gemini during the permitting and construction process, not revealing its actual plans for the building until a construction worker started questioning the multiple surgical rooms and bulletproof glass.Community leaders immediately expressed outrage that a huge abortion industry presence was being installed in Aurora with no input from the city or its residents, triggering the plans for the investigation.Then in an attempt to apply pressure to the city, Trombley wrote his letter.According to documents assembled by WND Columnist Jill Stanek, Trombley's letter began:
"I want to assure you that Planned Parenthood was open and truthful throughout the extensive permitting process and continues to welcome the cooperation of the City of Aurora," the letter said. That's even though Trombley told the Chicago Tribune the group left its name off the application because it did not want people to know its plans.Then he went on to condemn members of the "Pro-Life Action League who have been opposing our new facility." He wrote: "They are headquartered in Aurora and have a well-documented history of advocating violence against both persons and property as well as other related criminal activity."The letter went on: "We think you will understand the urgency of our concerns when you consider the following facts about the Pro-Life Action League and its leader, Joe Scheidler."
Trombley's letter then listed the following:
"Scheidler (along with a handful of other anti-abortion leaders) formed PLAN – the Pro Life Action Network. Scheidler called PLAN the 'pro-life mafia' and proclaimed 'a year of pain and fear' for anyone seeking or providing abortion."After a six-week trial in 1998, a jury in Chicago unanimously found that the Pro-Life Action League Network orchestrated 121 crimes involving acts of threats of force or violence against women's health facilities that offered abortion. These crimes proven at trial included beating a post-operative ovarian surgery patient over the head with a sign, knocking her unconscious and causing her to bleed from the sutures in her abdomen; seizing a clinic administrator by the throat, choking and bruising her; and slamming a clinic staff member and volunteer against the stairs (sending them to a hospital and causing permanent injuries) and destroying medications and equipment. Joe Scheidler personally praised the individuals who carried out some of these misdeeds, even taking credit for them...."
"Oh my, if that doesn't scream libel lawsuit, I don't know what does," Stanek wrote on her blog. "Here, Trombley unmistakably accused Scheidler and PLAL of commandeering violence."
