What would cause a man to scream, “Stop swearing at me!” while pro-lifers are saying the Rosary across the street from an abortion facility?

Pro-abortion reaction to pro-life prayers at Milwaukee abortion facility
Monday, November 7th, 2011The face of “choice”: Young girl forced into abortion facility in Milwaukee
Thursday, November 3rd, 2011Earlier today, we posted a comment on our PLW Facebook page asking for prayers for a young girl dragged into Affiliated Medical Services against her will.
The awesome folks at LifeSiteNews saw the post and wrote an article, below.
Pro-life sidewalk counselors outside a Milwaukee abortion clinic Thursday morning say that a preteen girl asking pro-lifers for help was forced into the clinic by escorts and a guardian, and that police have responded saying that they could do nothing.
Tobey Neuberger, a sidewalk counselor from Cedarburgh, said the incident occurred just before 10 a.m. outside Affiliated Medical Services, where she and two other female pro-life counselors gave a “very young” African-American girl literature as she entered the clinic, and told her that she could get more information at a pro-life center across the street. Witnesses said the girl looked anywhere between 11 and 14 years old.
Neuberger says she and her companions were “just incredulous” as they watched the girl come back out and ask for help from the counselors, only to be physically blocked by the escort staff.

Please keep this dear girl, a child herself, in your prayers tonight. +JMJ+
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin rakes in $26 million from taxpayers for birth control
Thursday, November 3rd, 2011Recently-obtained figures from the state of Wisconsin show that from 2007-2010, Planned Parenthood received $26 million from taxpayers for providing “family planning” services under the Medicaid Family Planning Waiver Program. Graph, below, breaks it down by county. Planned Parenthood operates 27 facilities across Wisconsin; two of those provide surgical abortions.
As you can see from the final total, $81.5+ million was paid out across the state from 2007-2010 under the Medicaid FPW program.
The FPW program, per the state of Wisconsin website, covers:
- Contraceptive services and supplies (such as birth control pills, condoms, the morning-after pill, Ella, the IUD, etc.)
- Natural family planning supplies
- Family planning pharmacy visits
- Pap tests
- Tubal ligation
- Tests and treatment for Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) including chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes and syphilis as well as certain other lab tests
- Routine preventive primary services only if related to family planning
- Mammograms and hysterectomies are not covered
The “purpose” of the program is to prevent unintended pregnancy (prevention being the key here, by way of massive amounts of birth control). By way of comparison, the total number of abortions in Wisconsin in 2010 was 7,825, down from 8,542 in 2009.The decline comes after abortions increased 3.8% between 2008 and 2009. Prior to that, abortions dropped for five straight years. Wouldn’t you expect a little more bang for $81.5 million bucks?
We are still going through the entire 114-page document, but we will have more to say on this, including listing the Catholic hospitals in the state who applied for and were reimbursed with FPW funds.
News broke yesterday that Planned Parenthood of Texas engaged in systematic, massive Medicaid fraud. Is this happening here?
