What Is Tom Ridge's REAL record on abortion?
On Monday, October 19, former State College abortion clinic
director, Eric Harrah, joined
Constitutional candidate Peg Luksik for a press conference in
Harrisburg.
At that conference, Mr. Harrah stated:
-
When he was denied a transfer agreement with the local
hospital, he believed he would be unable to
open the abortion clinic. As a last effort, he called the PA
Dept. of Health and threatened to sue them
in federal court. He never expected it to work since people
threaten to sue the state every day.
Three hours later, the Dept. of Health granted him a waiver. It was
a waiver he never expected!
- The abortion mill In State College carried no liability
insurance.
-
Mr. Harrah himself wrote the medical manuals which were approved
by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Health during
the clinic inspection process. Mr. Harrah has less then 2 years
of college and majored in Political Science.
-
The 24-hour waiting period was "met" by phone. Anyone standing
by the phone when it rang read
from a script. The woman never knew that she had not spoken to a
doctor.
-
When the original operators of the State College abortion clinic
were denied their lease in a court
decision, the operators moved ownership of the clinic to a
different corporation. The Abortion Control
Act requires new clinics (legally, new owners = new clinic) to
complete the licensing process from
scratch, which normally takes a few months. The
Dept. of Heath granted the new clinic owners their
new license in one week!
-
Dr. Brigham, the owner of State College's mill, has
decided that it is so easy to open abortion clinics
here in Pennsylvania that he is planning 3 more in the next
year - in Allentown, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh!
Not to be left behind, Planned Parenthood is opening another
abortion mill in Lancaster. The newspaper in Lancaster
reports that PP says it doesn't need a transfer agreement with
the local hospital.
That's five new abortion mills in pro-life Pennsylvania in two
years - mills
that could be prevented with vigorous enforcement of the
Abortion Control Act.
The abortion industry has found a friend in Pennsylvania -
and he sits in the Governor's Chair!
