The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways

Posted by SarahMC in Thoughts, Abortion, Busybodies, Christian Right, Sadism, Uteri Police on Mar 26, 2009, 3:00pm | 17 comments

Jill Stanek, anti-choice activist and total fucking lunatic (natch), has reproduced a positively scintillating article from fellow hate-monger Gingi Edmonds. In it, Edmonds reveals details about the recent Montana plane crash the mainstream media won’t! Because they are of absolutely no relevance to anything.
Keep in mind, Edmonds “does not want to turn this tragic event into some creepy spiritual ‘I told you so’ moment;” she says so herself! But Edmonds can’t always get what she wants, so she does it anyway.

Some of you may have seen the major news story of the private plane that crashed into a Montana cemetery, killing 7 children and 7 adults. But what the news sources fail to mention is… the [cemetery] contains… the Tomb of the Unborn… erected as a dedication to all babies who have died because of abortion.

The news sources also failed to mention that one of the 7 children killed had just gotten her first haircut the previous day. Conspiracy theories abound.

What else is the mainstream news not telling you? The family who died in the crash near the location of the abortion victim’s memorial, is the family of Irving ‘Bud’ Feldkamp, owner of the largest for-profit abortion chain in the nation…

I try to avoid shopping at chains, so I am not familiar with this guy. Tell me more.

Family Planning Associates was purchased 4 years ago by… Feldkamp… owner of Allcare and Hospitality Dental Associates and CEO of Glen Helen Raceway Park in San Bernardino. The 17 CA Family Planning clinics perform more abortions in the state than any other abortion provider – Planned Parenthood included – and they perform abortions through the first 5 months of pregnancy.

Planned Parenthood has got some catching up to do.

Although Feldkamp is not an abortionist, he reaps profits of blood money from the tens of thousands of babies that are killed through abortions performed every year at the clinics he owns. His business in the abortion industry was what enabled him to afford the private plane that was carrying his family to their week-long vacation at The Yellowstone Club, a millionaires-only ski resort.

The language is just too much: abortionist, blood money, abortion industry.

The plane went down on Sunday, killing 2 of Feldkamp’s daughters, 2 sons-in-law and 5 grandchildren along with the pilot and 4 family friends…

The cause of the crash is a mystery. The pilot, who was a former military flier who logged over 2k miles, gave no indication to air traffic controllers that the aircraft was experiencing difficulty when he asked to divert to an airport in Butte. Witnesses report that the plane suddenly nosedived toward the ground with no apparent signs of a struggle. There was neither a cockpit voice recorder nor a flight data recorder onboard, and no radar clues into the plane’s final moments because the Butte airport is not equipped with a radar facility. Some speculate that the crash was due to ice on the wings, but this particular plane model has been tested for icy weather and experts have stated that ice being the cause is unlikely.

What she’s getting at here is the perfectly reasonable conclusion that the nosediving plane had been flicked by the finger of an angry god. Moving on…

In my time working for Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, I helped organize and conduct a weekly campaign where youth activists stood outside of Feldkamp’s mini-mansion in Redlands holding fetal development signs and raising community awareness regarding Feldkamp’s dealings in child murder for profit. Every Thursday afternoon we called upon Bud and his wife Pam to repent, seek God’s blessing and separate themselves from the practice of child killing.

Bud and Pam probably wish they’d perished in the plane as well, after being harassed by the Abortion Holocaust Survivors every friggin’ week.

We warned him, for his children’s sake, to wash his hands of the innocent blood he assisted in spilling because, as Scripture warns, if “you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.” (Ezekiel 35:6)

“The son will not bear the punishment of the father’s iniquity; nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be on himself.” (Ezekiel 18:20)

A news source states that Bud Feldkamp visited the site of the crash with his wife and their 2 surviving children on Monday. As they stood near the twisted and charred debris talking with investigators, light snow fell on the tarps that covered the remains of their children.

That was Jesus shaking Christian salt on his dinner. Sry bout that.

I don’t want to turn this tragic event into some creepy spiritual “I told you so” moment, but I think of the time spent outside of Feldkamp’s – Pam Feldkamp laughing at the fetal development signs, Bud Feldkamp trying not to make eye contact as he got into his car with a small child in tow – and I think of the haunting words, “Think of your children.” I wonder if those words were haunting Feldkamp as well as he stood in the snow among the remains of loved ones, just feet from the Tomb of the Unborn?

Oh my stars. You crossed the line into creepyville long ago, lady. This isn’t creepy; it’s just downright terrible.

I only hope and pray that in the face of this tragedy, Feldkamp recognizes his need for repentance and reformation. I pray that God will use this unfortunate catastrophe to soften the hearts of Bud and Pam and that they will draw close to the Lord and wash their hands of the blood of thousands of innocent children, each as precious and irreplaceable as their own.

“I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then.” (Deut. 30:19)

Leave it to anti-choicers to pull bible quotes having nothing to do with abortion for use on their “fetal development” signage.

Stanek’s editorial comments follow.

This is hard to think about. Gingi’s right. No MSM report included that particular business detail. An Associated Press article did include this, however:

“Feldkamp’s family has gone through tragedy before. Two years ago, his 10-month-old grandson, Chase, died after he was found to have slipped between a mattress and the edge of a bed during a nap. The child was taken to a hospital and was eventually taken off life support.”

What was the point of including that AP detail in the post, if not to relish in the death of BORN individuals who happened to be related to the Feldkamps? I don’t have the words to express my disgust.

    I can’t think of any words strong enough to express my revulsion for people who will gloat over any deaths, much less the deaths of children. So apparently it is far more tragic when a fetus is aborted than when already born children die . . .

    Also, you are my hero for quoting scripture back at them :P

    You want conspiracy, crazy woman? How about someone investigate the people who’ve been harassing this guy and his wife (i.e. YOU) for the last few years? See if they were maybe hanging around the airport before the plane took off. It seems people like you feel a personal need to help God along with his “wrath”.

    wtf? that is so horrible.

    my dentist and his family (including his two young children and pregnant wife) were also killed in this crash.

    i wonder what they did to piss god off?

    I’ve noticed these kinds of people go strangely quiet when, say, a tornado hits a church full of people on Palm Sunday. I guess a catastrophe is just a catastrophe when it’s on their side.

    Or how about the time “Focus on the Family” prayed for rain for the Democratic national convention, which had beautiful weather; while hurricane Gustav derailed the Republican national convention.

    Such hubris.

    OH.MY.GOD. what the hell is wrong with these people? All that article does is make me suspicious that someone from her group tampered with the plane.

    I try not to hate people. but i’m sorry i really hate people like this, who take someone’s personal tragedy and twist it into making some political point. sick.

    Wow. WOW. That is a level of cruelty you don’t see often.

    Talk about creepy: “Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust.” It sounds like a horror movie about revenant fetuses/(feti?).

    One teeny tiny little quibble: Holocaust is best used when referring to actual, living, breathing humans who are killed in a mass genocide, not a medical procedure.

    One big-ass quibble: Anyone who sees a fatal plane crash as an opportunity for Schadenfreude is seriously misunderstanding the whole “love thy neighbor” stuff.

    “One big-ass quibble: Anyone who sees a fatal plane crash as an opportunity for Schadenfreude is seriously misunderstanding the whole “love thy neighbor” stuff.”

    There’s also that “judge not lest ye be judged” part that always seems to be conveniently forgotten…

    @my previous comment: that these judgey Christians forget, not you Sarah.of.a.lesser.god!

    @bellethellama: I have Schadenfreude that you made that error! Or something like that. ;)

    this may be my favorite harpyness post of all time. keeping in mind of course that i am deeply jet lagged and may be finding the horrifying hilarious.

    I’m a deeply religious person, but I have no idea how anyone could bring themselves to respect or worship a God they believe would do this kind of thing.

    I prefer to believe in One who is Perfect Love, who blesses us all, whether we deserve it or not, (He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.) I could neither worship nor serve a capricious, vengeful being such as the god these people seem to serve.

    gaaaaa…headdesk!
    Of course, they completely neglected to mention all those abortions that were prevented by birth control distributed by those same planned parenthood clinics…

    I wonder if they pray for the deaths of innocent people. (Like doctors. Nurses. Etc.) If she prayed for the death of this guy because he offers drive thru abortions, then a plane crashed and several unrelated people died, wouldn’t that make her responsible for their murder, by her logic of goddishness?

    I should probably stop reading the internet altogether. It’s depressing me.

    It’s just so incredibly hateful. It’s hard to imagine that these people have ever actually read most of the Bible. I mean, I’m not a Christian, but I did grow up in a (not-terrifically-hateful) fundie church, and it just doesn’t seem like people like this could have read that book.

    @Cimorene: To people like Stanek, there is really no “logic” to their goddishness. And please don’t log off the internet! We need people like you combating the insanity found there.
