  State Audit of Iowa Planned Parenthood Demanded In Wake Of Telemed
  Abortion Scandal

July 19, 2010

*Operation Rescue calls for an independent auditor in light of 
connections between Gov. Culver, Attorney General Miller and Planned 
Parenthood*

Des Moines, IA - Operation Rescue has filed a formal request with Iowa 
Attorney General Tom Miller for a state audit of Planned Parenthood of 
the Heartland, (PPH).

A Governmental Accounting Office report 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103573879516&s=81975&e=001M8HR1NENn4GwthfqFPUHS4H1YG23uLY-tfGBSySukorBDJelNJcZRal_unhBvqAL6cnz0FsMtMmOfDgRDvMFY5w0KoocIap2_0n8Q_Ndnyi2ynXV5LAQBNWNo-DL7ZcKBEjHGMRhAx657id0y0RwcGWiHHlVItV9TX6XoFo74a3J8UYfSNcryEL8wnd2o_CZgkKzkudurGd0Ij1fYygHCUn3zn4U8zqQEAwDK-FhiNMvVg_JZDK_T45oiHlVftC3> 
issued in Washington, DC, on May 28, 2010, revealed that $2.3 billion 
dollars in taxpayer money has been doled out to Planned Parenthood 
organizations nationwide from 2002-2008, yet Planned Parenthood's own 
financial reports show that only $657.1 million has been spent. That 
leaves $1.8 billion dollars in tax funds with unaccounted for.

Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, based in Des Moines, Iowa, has been 
the recipient of Title X funds as well as money from other federal 
programs. Thousands of tax dollars have been disbursed directly to PPH 
through the Iowa Attorney General's office. It is likely that some of 
the missing $1.8 billion has made its way to Iowa.

"We believe the public has a right to know where their tax money is 
going. It is time that Planned Parenthood gives an account for the money 
that it has siphoned from hard-working taxpayers," said Operation Rescue 
President Troy Newman.

"We are especially concerned about possible misappropriation of funds 
after discovering that PPH is overbilling insurance companies for their 
remote-controlled abortion pill distribution scheme, known as telemed 
abortions."

Evidence of overbilling by a number of Planned Parenthood affiliates has 
surfaced in California, where a state audit 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103573879516&s=81975&e=001M8HR1NENn4GE_gbFLsDKH3DtqbjvW8Jeb0cj8QIlbfha29u1IY1bD1gx1HS78jeowIQRD1R9jfuTTr-MhwDOw42ndzsavN9EG09StUOP7UZ2bv6RK3XVp7uQCEA_J6Z00UtgSP_iI3SIAsxnlna95hAb-1J1z8hJyMnlpnPxpWTFtRF6RO6vsG_6QrJp1SPH> 
discovered that Planned Parenthood of San Diego and Riverside Counties 
had overbilled the state $5,213,645.92 for birth control pills alone. A 
Federal whistleblower lawsuit 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103573879516&s=81975&e=001M8HR1NENn4HKehrz_a9Zje2QRhmiaxmoIJ_Xu4ZqjIS_epFo0EmegHx-qlZQ9WXDX5tPKnUQZRkFzdQB6AlorO9C4p9OAjKwNmtVLkYdGXhY2TSPjlDp87nbzdGtFM1WJUT4Lpfro-M-DWhiOteXKg==> 
filed by former Chief Financial Officer of Planned Parenthood of Los 
Angeles revealed that the state of California was overbilled for a total 
of $180 million by Planned Parenthood affiliates in that state.

"There is enough history of Planned Parenthood bilking taxpayers and 
other financial improprieties to justify this request for an audit of 
PPH," said Newman.

Operation Rescue released an investigative report 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103573879516&s=81975&e=001M8HR1NENn4ELMXOJhoDXFK2ZTFQ7SKY5uV7-lJyOS8_UxCMWqdK5desRdXJrHfdDHqur_CpkKB5M4Mt7URAIlI0bzDOj1SqWl11Q0KMXwgHDk4QzwUW96WXqTpFCp5J4MbJb8vRYiTeWfmvjxeIXD_XFghN7PtemT_yQm1grPyhPaxqORa44GYJ1LIdFsN6za8ZN1_Te38gyiStoKvPfiIlW_JLgxFOgbwI5Ty_M6mt6NK-6dlB45Q==> 
on PPH's telemed abortion scheme in March, 2010, then filed a complaint 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103573879516&s=81975&e=001M8HR1NENn4FgtMMHkXLjztiwZKc07MnT8Pb1vYZI5z0otwfOT5EBjIanGbhwPXiZKC1YD5_bUmEtvXHXXnlHGoFBzm3FEbZSBCVtCYWLyYgYyIO4ds3Mf7INr58XuN6k5_u_PamkaK62xgciOL9qWj5MoADRjY_t7a0HNfsqGQu-iOTbyAzSxQUrmXaqnBCD73hOs_GM2EAkl4t83bf7VQ==> 
concerning its dangers with the Iowa Board of Medicine the following 
month. That investigation is ongoing.

OR also filed a formal complaint with the Attorney General's office 
requesting a criminal investigation 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103573879516&s=81975&e=001M8HR1NENn4Hw5Y3OslPrJggSs7fliF1yawAwDpO6GSyD0haTLjZxclhJ-BEQn1ytwNSddLwGEULin4tHdVfDC8pnCQwo-6HEurkuT7_4wwmI5_GWAq4WOROCCneM0HoH4g6W07O6iIRjVlsNzrs4DDu7xvA6NBJaYoTh_GH5hdRmYlCKdlbXFIIPGPrRU53tFgnabzUju6cqXzp3R1kXYfyKk3gfDYMhN2zseO8muR8QKIYi3FSpDA==> 
telemed abortions. Miller indicated that his office was unlikely to 
investigate 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103573879516&s=81975&e=001M8HR1NENn4E2HxxzPrcHp6-uGNr8ittlu2t0wOHAx0P80OW1DuOAqYhxAzeendhvtmkLbu2tAlSXR-bqwpOGzGeJhR_yKJK2QwjZkkALrkvDKWCJ8GWXTgC6ZPere4QQJQLMCPJ6qM79xJiCvSeMB2K4eETjZM-wRFZgiueLPbD-DYtGq1qHiNvkXybIc2nWu2rF6ylJZhShILvDFGWJJiOWVWPFaUVfeY5O0xi3PJHyAq5O1KzHsg==>. 
Operation Rescue then discovered connections between Miller and PPH 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103573879516&s=81975&e=001M8HR1NENn4H0ZxgOViT5LqWiWesNyLMV62JErkV25nK0bsG5EWujBBjPdQbVgQfBCQy6qpz_d59T_4iS2s_hnkMdHC5dVXwmaDFBCEoL2UB0kEDOvYfo1rLR7aAvTsNHSdOTBQrON7GQAMhpUReaGFmhcVIt--Vux-d-EJmTUebUmvk5oAzfGc_Vmd1FUg81TBczHiMHZpLnFo7pboXiU_B_yPS75_Xhkx-GySCGR8SAszfN1D8M7vzlr95CR-bn>, 
including a PPH abortionist who sits on one of Miller's advisory boards. 
In addition, Gov. Chet Culver, recently met with PPH officials and 
received their endorsement of his re-election campaign.

"In light of Miller's and Culver's connections with PPH, we are asking 
for an independent audit to be conducted by someone not associated, 
either personally or politically, with Miller or Culver," said Newman. 
"That is the only way the public can be assured of an honest accounting."

*Doctor Jan Hemstad, vice-president of the Catholic Medical Association 
(USA), was a featured speaker at the International **Billings** 
Ovulation Method Conference in **Oklahoma City**.*

The conference, organized by Sue Ek, executive director of the Billings 
Ovulation Method Association-USA, offered the opportunity for experts, 
physicians, medical personnel and teachers from around the world to 
share valuable information, personal experiences and the latest medical 
developments in the field of naturally spacing children. Attendees 
included those trained in the Billings Ovulation Method (BOM), 
Creighton, Couple to Couple League and Marquette methods.

The conference brought together nearly 100 notables from around the 
world, including Dr. Lek-Lim Chan, a Buddhist convert to Catholicism and 
BOM instructor from Malaysia;Marian Corkill, senior BOM teacher from 
Australia; Fathers Daniel McCaffrey and Matthew Habiger of Natural 
Family Planning Outreach; */Dr. Jan Hemstad, vice-president of the 
Catholic Medical Association/*; and Lloyd Duplantis, a registered 
pharmacist who has done extensive research on the action and side 
effects of hormonal contraceptives.

Conference attendees lamented the lack of a truly Catholic medical 
school that supports training in Church-approved methods of natural 
fertility regulation. One Canadian medical student, who asked not to be 
identified due to fear of reprisals, attended the conference but had to 
do so "under the radar" because of the lack of support for 
non-contraceptive methods...

*/With regard to the health care "reform" debate, Dr. Hemstad commented, 
"If there's anything we need to fight for, it's the 
conscience-protection component.  That's the only way we can come back 
and practice health care from our Catholic beliefs."/*

*Please consider posting comments in defense of freedom of conscience 
for prolife healthcare professionals...* Frank is a pharmacist with whom 
I have been debating this issue for at least 10 years.  His rebuttal to 
my article has been posted on HP blog.  It is well-meaning but lacks 
logic... if you can think straight that is!

One idea against this rebuttal... we do not take vows to dispense all 
medicines or provide all services!  This is not about autonomy, but 
about freedom of conscience.  Respect for all is possible.
