Talk about misguided. A Catholic hospital in Colorado has refused to remove a Planned Parenthood abortionist, and self-described “Christian,” from their facility. From LifeSiteNews<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason I perform abortions is because I\u2019m a Christian,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Richard Grossman, a Quaker, told the Durango Herald … \u201cPersonally, I believe in the strength, intellect and fortitude of women. When a woman says a fetus is a person, I think it is one. I believe the woman empowers the fetus.\u201d\u2028<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another issue close to Dr. Grossman’s heart, which goes hand-in-hand with the abortions that he commits weekly, is population control:<\/p>\n

In [Grossman’s regular “Population Matters”]\u00a0column, he has opposed the personhood movement, blamed high fertility for poverty in Haiti, and said that the \u201csort of yelling\u201d he hears from pro-life protestors at the entrance to Planned Parenthood \u201ccomes from the old-fashioned era of authoritarian domination.\u201d\u2028<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pro-life advocates are in fact protesting the hospital’s decision to keep Grossman employed as an ob\/gyn with a rally on Thursday, August 4th, featuring Live Action’s own Lila Rose. In addition, CO pro-life group\u00a0LifeGuard<\/a> recently recently unveiled an online petition<\/a>\u00a0to collect signatures and\u00a0implore the hospital to end Grossman’s medical privileges:<\/p>\n

\u201cMercy Hospital allows full privileges to Richard Grossman, who violently kills children every week,\u201d said Daniel Anguis, the executive of the pro-life group LifeGuard, who are organizing the August 4th protest. \u201cThere are no circumstances under which it is acceptable to murder a child, and no circumstances under which a Catholic hospital should collaborate with an abortionist.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe scandal of Grossman\u2019s presence at Mercy has angered the local faithful Catholic and Christian community for years, and this petition allows us to peacefully and firmly demand that Grossman lose his privileges at Mercy Hospital,\u201d said Anguis.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
