Jill “Likes her ‘Debbie Does’ Series” Stanek is questioning the new health clinic in Aurora, which was developed by a group called Gemini Office Development, LLC.

Apparently, on some paperwork filed with the City of Aurora, the Gemini developers stated the tenant was unknown at the time the paperwork was filled out. (The Chicago Tribune broke the story a few weeks back that the Gemini clinic’s main client was going to be Planned Parenthood; thus Ms. Stanek’s knee-jerk reaction to any news about the clinic.)
Where else have we heard the “I can’t recall” claim? That’s right, with our very own disgraced Attorney General — the most forgetful guy in DC.

Jill Stanek doesn’t seem to have any problem with Alberto “I have no recollection of that” Gonzales or his boss, Pres. Bush. Wonder why that is.

Now, to be fair, Gemini Office Development could very [well] not have known who all the tenants would be at the time of their permit applications. Indeed, since it is the goal of the anti-privacy extremists to evict Planned Parenthood before the clinic is even finished, how could Gemini have known whether or not Planned Parenthood would even be able to move in?

Moreover, Ms. Stanek’s ardent anti-woman stance flies in the face of her self-proclaimed “pro-life” attitude. As Steve Trombley of Planned Parenthood clearly stated, 90% of their healthcare work in the area is related to reproductive healthcare — education, exams, screenings, treatment for STDs and other issues. Perhaps Ms. Stanek, a nurse by profession, would rather these women who seek medical attention suffer some horrible fate at the hands of a disease rather than see a doctor (she’s already made it quite clear where she stands on viruses that lead to cervical cancer).

As noted in the Tribune story linked above, it’s odd that the anti-Planned Parenthood extremists needed to bus in protesters from as far away as Virginia. Why are conservative partisans so against science and medicine that they would go to such lengths against a women’s clinic that isn’t even open yet?

A few choice quotes that Nurse Stanek chose to ignore, from the Aurora Beacon-News (part of the Sun Times News Group):

“It’s a legal use and it’s going to be up to them (Planned Parenthood) to see if it’s going to be a peaceful use in the neighborhood,” [Aurora Alderman Chris] Beykirch said. “The tactics of pro-life supporters isn’t always savory.” (sic)Trombley said Planned Parenthood was open with city staff and committee members about the development being used as a doctor’s office.

“They don’t inquire of other providers (which types of medical services will be offered),” he said. “We were very open about the fact we were putting a medical office there.”
