Star Parker: Abortion Clinics are responsible for the economic crisis

This woman is NUTZ !!!! :crazy:



from the (gasp!) American Family Association's OneNewsNow:



Root of nation's economic crisis is moral crisis
Star Parker - Syndicated Columnist - 2/16/2009 8:00:00 AM


A travesty of justice has occurred in Oakland, California. But realities surrounding this local issue point to how the economic crisis in our nation is symptomatic of and flows from a deeper fundamental moral crisis.

A black pastor awaits sentencing, which could amount to two years in prison and $4,000 in fines, for standing outside an inner city abortion clinic holding a sign saying "Jesus Loves You & Your Baby, Let Us Help You," and offering pro-life literature.

Walter Hoye, founder and chairman of the Issues4Life Foundation, was found guilty of "unlawful approach" under the "Access to Reproductive Health Care Facilities Ordinance" enacted in Oakland in 2008.

Under the ordinance, it is prohibited, within 100 feet of the entrance to a "reproductive health facility," to approach within eight feet of a client "for the purpose of counseling, harassing, or interfering" with that person.

"Harassing" means holding up a sign, passing out literature or offering counseling.

The "reproductive health care facility" in question is Family Planning Specialists in Oakland. Looking over their Web site, it's clear that there is only one kind of reproductive health care they provide. Abortions.

According to testimony of the facility's executive director, they perform about one hundred abortions per week. Assuming an average of $600 per abortion (from the fee schedule on the website), that's about $3 million a year in revenue. Not bad for an inner city neighborhood business.

Pastor Hoye's conviction is strange in that no "victim" testified against him -- there was only testimony from those with an interest in the clinic -- employees and volunteers, no specific incident was cited, videotape showed Hoye standing peacefully holding his sign and materials, and the convicting jury was given no instructions regarding the definition of "approach." .......(more)

1. Someone please start sending in LTTE to get her ass fired.

Kthxbye.

[bluestateguy]

2. Just shove all the anti-abortion protesters into a "free speech zone"

Preferably in a pen, far away from where women entering the clinic would have to see them.

Let's see how their side likes it.

3. These people need to redirect their energy

If they really cared about children, they would focus on children in poverty.

4. *Their* Jesus wouldn't agree.

Pro-Life only covers conception to birth. After that, you're on your own.

10. Isn't it the truth?

But actual, live human beings are so messy. And they need to eat, and have a place to live... so much easier to hassle women making choices about their own bodies.

You know, I have known some people who actually do walk the walk - but they're few. And while I disagree with them heartily on who gets a say in a private medical decision, there's slightly more respect for their position when they're willing to follow through all the way.

But far far too often, all that energy is poured into this issue, and the lack of concern for the actual, not just potential, human beings is astounding.

5. Only in the twilight zone

[spanone]

6. yep, the country should take it's moral standing from 'star' yep

[MajorChode]

7. Yeah, says the woman who had no less than 4 abortions

Even if you agreed with her, the only conclusion that can come from that is Star has contributed far more than her fair share to moral decay.

15. I saw her talking about her abortions on The View

She is the biggest hypocrite.

[muntrv]

8. No Star! It's because fundies like yourself put corporatist Chimpy in power

to fuck up the economy!

[JerseygirlCT]

9. Yes, you idiot, that's harrassing her... why do these boobs not get it?

And why is their opinion the one that's supposed to be more important than the woman involved?

What a load of crap this story is.

[tabbycat31]

11. just like the "abortionists" were responsible for 9/11

fucktards. Seriously they need to go fuck a farm animal or something and stay away from computers.

12. He's innocent when there are many, many protesters who protest at clinics

every week or every month, some maybe every day and don't violate the law.


Of course this guy is innocent. :sarcasm:

[jmowreader]

13. No, Star, "harassing" doesn't mean "holding up a sign"

"Harassing" means jumping out in front of a patient, crying like a baby and yelling "please, mommy, don't kill me."

You remember those people, don't you, from the four times YOU were a patient at one of those clinics?

Apparently the four men on earth who were willing to have sex with Star Parker no longer are, so now she has the luxury of being anti-abortion.

14. Where is the info on her 4 abortions? I agree she is a shithead but where is that info?

If this shithead has had 4 abortions and is now preaching against them, she is a few watts short.

[blue_onyx]

16. She talked about the abortions openly on The View

There might be clips of it on YouTube.

[jmowreader]

17. She comes right out and admits to her four abortions

How did your life turn from party girl to welfare mom?
I got pregnant, so I went to a clinic and used a girlfriend's medical welfare sticker to pay for an abortion. A few months later I got pregnant again and went on welfare for two months to collect some money, then had another abortion. When a worker at the clinic asked, "Weren't you just here?" I said, "Hey, if it weren't for people like me, you wouldn't have a job." Within three years I'd had four abortions, all tax-subsidized. That's when I started feeling empty inside. I thought, I've got to be a better person than this. How can I justify continuously killing my offspring? I decided I wasn't going to do that any more.

Did you stop having sex?
No. In fact, within three months I was pregnant again. And even though I was living with a guy at the time, I knew somebody else was the father of the baby. But because I'd promised myself I wasn't going to abort again, and I didn't want my boyfriend to know I was messing around, I moved out. I could have moved back home with my parents in New Jersey, but I didn't want to leave California. I was twenty-three when I quit my job in circulation at the Los Angeles Times so I could go on welfare, which I stayed on for three-and-a-half years. By collecting $465 a month from Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), plus food stamps, and by getting a part-time job that paid in cash "under the table," I could rent a nice apartment and earn far more money than working an honest forty-hour week. Later, I had no trouble dropping my daughter, Angel, off at a government-funded day care, selling some free medical-care stickers to buy drugs, and hanging out at the beach all afternoon. Now I look back and say, "God, how was I so blind?" Yet through my sinful lifestyle I'd totally lost my understanding of right and wrong.

Yes, she IS a piece of work...

18. For Fucks Sake Who Takes This Asshole Nut Job Seriously?

This idiot is brain damaged. Deeply.
