One thing we learned from the Komen\/Planned Parenthood fiasco is that it may be easier to say no to the mob than Planned Parenthood. We saw it again recently in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This one didn\u2019t make much news, but created a local social network bully fest.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood called Paul\u2019s Pantry, part of the St. Vincent de Paul Society and the biggest food pantry in Wisconsin, and asked them to come and pick up donations, which may have been noble, but wasn\u2019t something the Catholic organization felt comfortable doing \u2014 sending a truck over and perhaps giving the abortion provider a photo opportunity. The American Life League reports what the worker at the pantry said:<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I told the young lady from Planned Parenthood was that I couldn\u2019t send a truck to pick up, and gave her a list of other food pantries that might want to pick up, I gave her no reason at all and she didn\u2019t ask why. Soon after, I started receiving the hate e-mail and phone calls. I politely explained to callers that although we are non-denominational in regards to those we serve, we are a Catholic organization who shares a board of directors with our sister organization, St. Vincent de Paul. We adhere to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and to the Rule of St. Vincent de Paul. I also explained our Gift Acceptance Policy and how acceptance of the donation would compromise our core values and possibly damage the reputation of Paul\u2019s Pantry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAs with Komen, choice wasn\u2019t okay with Planned Parenthood, and within a short amount of time, verbal abuse rolled in. Jill Stanek reports that a worker at Paul\u2019s Pantry explained:\n

\u201cWithin 20 minutes I was getting phone calls and emails calling us [names]. The calls that day came from the Milwaukee area, where Planned Parenthood is headquartered. We have caller ID.\u201d<\/p>\n

[He] said he did tell one of the callers they could simply drop off their donation, \u201cwhich happens about 100 times a day \u2013 in that case we don\u2019t know where the food comes from. But if an organization wants a receipt, Paul\u2019s Pantry has a gift acceptance policy. \u201cIf the donation is going to hurt us, we don\u2019t accept it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Craig said it never got to that point with Planned Parenthood, though. PP invented the rest of the story. \u201cWhat was their purpose?\u201d asked Paul. \u201cIf they really intended to feed the poor they should have just dropped the food off and left it at that. But was it for their own self-promotion?\u201d<\/p>\n

The abuse didn\u2019t stop there, though. First, Planned Parenthood broadcast it to their Facebook page on February 2:<\/p>\n

Then Daily Kos got in on the action and bashed the pantry, then listed the phone number and the employee names and told people to call in protest.<\/p>\n

Which resulted in a massive deluge of verbal abuse.\u00a0 (Follow the link for examples and more details.)<\/p>\n
