Planned Parenthood Attacks Food Bank for Refusing a Donation

Even if you’re not a health care provider, or even a donor, be advised that saying “no” to Planned Parenthood will get you loads of hate mail, and possibly even a few abusive phone calls.

LifeSiteNews brings us the story of a food bank in Green Bay, Wisconsin, affiliated with a local Catholic Church, which was allegedly targeted not for refusing to donate to Planned Parenthood, but for refusing a donation from Planned Parenthood. Apparently, the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Green Bay got a call from the local Planned Parenthood asking if they’d be willing to send a truck around to accept donations of food and/or money from the organization.

The food bank, sensing that Planned Parenthood was trolling for a photo opportunity with a truck that came from a Catholic organization, politely declined, citing religious objections and suggested some other food pantries. The response was possibly excessive. A worker at the pantry explains:

        “Within 20 minutes I was getting phone calls and emails calling us [names]. The calls that day came from the Milwaukee area, where Planned Parenthood is headquartered. We have caller ID.”

        [He] said he did tell one of the callers they could simply drop off their donation, “which happens about 100 times a day – in that case we don’t know where the food comes from. But if an organization wants a receipt, Paul’s Pantry has a gift acceptance policy. “If the donation is going to hurt us, we don’t accept it.”

Again, they were willing to take the donation, so long as those offering it were willing to bring the food to them. Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin spun this eminently reasonable demand this way on their Facebook page:



The progressive blog The Daily Kos took this as their clue to post personal information(including phone numbers) for the clinic’s staff, while deriding their decision by claiming that “the poor and their hunger are being used as political chips by the callous right.”

As opposed to picking on a food bank, which isn’t remotely callous.

They've definitely decided it's time to make the big move against organized religion.

2 Timothy 3:1-5, 10-14

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God…. And from such people turn away!

        "…all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned ..."
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

All I know is that I have no intention of allowing myself to be persecuted without persecuting right back.
