Pro-life Action Plan:
Determine the amount of tax money earmarked for WCLA & PPHP in the 2007-2008 Westchester County Budget. Demand accountability for $$$ & late disclosure of budget’s outrageous pay increases. Stop fiscal thugery!!!
Goal:
Publicize to Westchester, Rockland, Suffolk pro-life committees amount of Westchester County tax dollars going to PPHP & WCLA – hard to get exact numbers, 1-3 items still up for bid! Get all pro-lifers to challenge politicians publicly by letters, e-mails, phone calls, or by speaking at at least one respective County Board of Legislators Meeting. Shine light of truth on PP and demand legislative transparency from public officials, most elected by these groups and who owe them, big time.
It was Frederick F. Guida, M.D.’s turn. Legislators’ ears perked when they heard he was from Chappaqua, only to be stunned at the verbal lashing he gave them; irrefutable medical facts about human life, abortion as “murder,” the Gardasil dangers, and the contraceptive mentality and high-steroidal chemical doses women are accepting – something no man ever would. He concluded with his hope that one day the Board would be held accountable for their complicit crimes against humanity. Oh, it was quite a night.
The above Action Plan is in motion thanks to the determined efforts of Ed Riely, Regina Riely and their
band of pro-life stalwarts and volunteers who have been doggedly monitoring the public and committee meetings of the Westchester BOL for years. (Regina sued them for First Amendment violations and Women’s Equality Day Reformed got $10,000) PP and the WCLA, etc., have been on the receiving end of NY taxpayer monies thanks to a heavily pro-abort Democrat majority. The Westchester budget process currently underway defies description in a few paragraphs; it is cloaked in a “smoke and mirrors” approach to public disclosure. Finding the amount of money funneled to PP and its minions is even more difficult.
The Rielys sought a FOIL request to get answers. Legislator Burton gave Ed a $300,000 amount, only to seek him out a day or so later at this public hearing on the budget on Wednesday, December 5, in White Plains to tell him that this number had changed – to “$50,000”. (Ed.Note: It has since moved up to $75,000-150,000 and counting!)
There was fascinating public commentary that night with demands that the budget and process be changed. Board spending, including staff counts and salary expenses, were missing reported the Journal News the next day. Some thanked the Board for support (My Sisters Place); others (like us) spoke our outrage that after many attempts to present them with facts about illegalities and deaths and dangers to women, they still fund these groups.
Regina Riely and Judy Anderson spoke, as did Ralph and Dr. Fred Guida and Ed Riely.
One young woman, a senior at Purchase College supporting PP, told her personal story of contracting HPV and developing cancer cells that needed surgery; her mother immediately got the vaccine for younger siblings.
The promotion of Gardasil to the young, serious risks and all, is #1 on the PP radar screen these days (latest budget earmark: “$25,000” and counting) along with their Sex Ed push into middle schools, condom distribution, ingestible contraceptives, abortifacients “Plan B”(morning after pill budget latest earmark: “$50,000” and counting) and RU-486, and surgical abortions, all increasing in minority communities. Quite a legacy.
Reina Schiffrin, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, was there and spoke near the end, thanking the Board for “$25,000”(????), with “more needed”. Right.
