Planned Parenthood Activists Sit on Board of Group That Backed Brittany Maynard Killing Herself Life News ^ \| 11/3/14 \| Carole Novielli The right to die organization which supported Brittany Maynard’s decision to kill herself has ties to abortion giant Planned Parenthood. brittanymaynard4On New Year’s Day, Brittany Maynard was diagnosed with an aggressive form of terminal brain cancer. In April, Doctors told her that she only had six months left to live and she chose to move to Oregon, one of only five states that allow the a person to legally kill themselves with a doctor’s assistance. In early October, Maynard announced her plans to die on Nov. 1, but then last week she seemed to change her mind on the exact date. In a news video released Wednesday, Maynard said she had not decided what day she would end her life, but she was determined to do it before she became too sick to die with dignity. Sadly this weekend, 29 year-old Brittany Maynard, who became the public face of the controversial right-to-die movement over the last few weeks, ended her own life at her home in Portland, Oregon. Maynard’s obituary was posted Sunday on The Brittany Maynard Fund website. The Brittany Maynard Fund, is an initiative of Compassion & Choices, a euthanasia organization and will now be used to advance so-called death with dignity laws nationwide. PLANNED PARENTHOOD CONNECTIONS: Jaren_duckerSitting on the Board of Compassion and Choices is Jaren Ducker who has been board president for Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains and is currently vice president of the Denver Convention Center Hotel Authority board. Ducker also received the Margaret Sanger Award for furthering abortion rights.

Dr. Castuera became the first National Chaplain for Planned Parenthood Federation of America before his retirement. He calls the “right to choose” at any point in a person’s life “sacred,” and is a co-author of Oregon’s first in the nation death-with-dignity law. David GreenbergDavid Greenberg, Ph.D., sits on the Compassion and Choices advisory board and served as President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette, prior to taking his place on the right to die organization. According to his LinkedIn page, he also served as Board Member of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon, Board Member of Planned Parenthood Votes Washington and President and CEO Planned Parenthood of Delaware. In 2013, the the New York affiliate of Compassion and Choices, welcomed Barry Ensminger to join their board. He had served as Executive Director of Planned Parenthood of New York City. According to researcher, Rita Dillar, when Compassion and Choices, formerly The Hemlock Society, convened its June 2012 conference, former Planned Parenthood insider Theresa Connor was a featured speaker. She was public policy director for Planned Parenthood in Washington state for 15 years and instituted the research and strategy behind the 2001 Erickson v. Bartell case “that required employers’ insurance plans to cover prescription birth control under anti-discrimination laws. I have researched and documented that the original right to die panels were formed by members of Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger‘s American Birth Control League an organization whose agenda was eugenics. In addition, Sanger herself was open about her belief in Euthanasia. This 1952 letter from the Euthanasia Society of America clearly shows Margret Sanger on the American Advisory Board of the Euthanasia Society of America. Euthenasia Society of America Euthanasia groups have morphed under many names over the years and Planned Parenthood members remain involved in their promotion of the death ideology: In 2012 PETER GOODWIN, MD ended his life in accordance with Oregon’s Measure 16 “Death with Dignity Act,” the landmark legislation that he helped craft and champion into law in 1997. Aside from publicly advocating for Measure 16, he served as chairman of the Oregon Death with Dignity Committee. He was also a member of the Planned Parenthood of Columbia/Willamette board. In 1964, Evelyn Ames co-founded the Planned Parenthood Association of Nashville. She served as the organization’s southeastern representative for nine southern states, and on the executive committee of the national board of directors of Planned Parenthood-World Population. She was also a founder and member of the board of the Nashville chapter of Concern for Dying, an advocacy group for the right to die. Ames Davis died in 1993. Esther Instebo delivered donations and filled fundraiser tables for Planned Parenthood and Washington politicians. Instebo pulled her friends into Democratic Party politics. Instebo worked with the euthanasia organization Compassion and Choices to qualify for help in dying under the state’s Death with Dignity law. Knowing that she had that option “greatly improved the quality of the last six months of her life because she knew she wouldn’t have to put up with what she was afraid of.”

Glick's Family 'Shocked' at US Silence over Shooting ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Artz Sheva ^ \| 4 Nov 2014 \| Ari Yashar Family of US citizen and assassination target notes hypocrisy, as US ambassador claims a week later 'we were unable to reach them. A message from Yitz Glick, the brother of Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick who was shot four times last Wednesday by an Arab terrorist in Jerusalem, reveals shocking differences in the US administration's reaction to events in Israel. The message was sent to journalist and editor Caroline Glick of Makor Rishon and the Jerusalem Post, who on Tuesday shared it on her Facebook page with the words "I wonder what (US) Amb. (to Israel) Dan Shapiro sees when he looks in the mirror." Yitz wrote to Glick (who is not related to the family), saying "I just wanted to tell you that our family is shocked that we haven't heard a single word from the US State Dept., the US Ambassador or any representative of the US government regarding the shooting of our brother a US citizen Yehuda Glick." "My father Prof. Shimon Glick served as a captain in the US Army. He was a federal employee both in the NIH (National Institutes of Health - ed.) and the VA (US Department of Veterans Affairs - ed.) taking part in a leading hormone research projects. The chief investigator, Rose (Rosalyn) Yalow was awarded a Nobel prize," continued Glick. The brother of the shooting victim emphasized "my father is one of only 5 Americans residing in Israel to be appointed to the US National Academy of Science! No outrage, no wishes of speedy recovery not a single word from any US official." Noting on the hypocrisy of the silence, Yitz added "this is in total contrast to the (Arab - ed.) teenager that attacked police with a Molotov Cocktail and the State Dept demanded a transparent investigation and not to mention (Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud) Abbas' letter of support to the terrorist shooter (of Glick - ed.)." "We couldn't reach them" Journalist Lahav Harkov of the Jerusalem Post shared Caroline Glick's posting of the message on her Twitter account later on Tuesday, where Ambassador Shapiro responded to the issue. "US Consulate General in Jerusalem made several attempts to contact Mr. Glick’s family and today were able to make contact," wrote Shapiro on Tuesday, nearly a full week after the shooting in Jerusalem. The ambassador then tried to stave off discussion on the issue by saying "The Privacy Act prevents us from discussing details regarding American citizens without their express permission." "Ready to provide consular assistance to Mr. Glick or his family...Also worth noting (US) Secretary (of State John) Kerry & the State Dept. spokeswoman condemned the attack last week," concluded Shapiro. Many Twitter users commenting on the thread were unsatisfied with the excuse that the US Embassy was "unable" to make contact, and with the late response a week after the attack. They also commented that the US has yet to condemn the letter of support Abbas sent to the family of the Arab terrorist who shot Glick, and who later was killed in a gun battle with police. "We received with anger the announcement about the despicable crime perpetrated by the gangs of killing and terror in the Israeli occupation army, against the son, Muataz Ibrahim Hijazi, who rose to the heavens as a martyr for the defense of the rights of the Palestinian nation and the holy places,” Abbas wrote in the letter.
