The patient âwas placed on antibiotics, nebulization treatments and oxygen during the day Tuesday. By Tuesday evening, her condition was improving, âbut remained lethargic,â according to a statement. A few hours later, however, she stopped breathing⊠staff administered CPR for 90 minutes before pronouncing (the patient) dead.â
âWas it really necessary to administer CPR for 90 minutes?â the Obamacare supporters might ask. Isnât that kind of care consideredâexcessive?
Not for this patient. Because this patient was Panbanisha, one of the apes from Iowaâs Great Ape Trust. The above description of the apeâs care came from The Des Moines Register, (Great ape dies at troubled D.M. center, 1/7/12).
Here is the great irony: âLow funds, however, did not play a part in the health care Panbanisha received before her death,â according to Ken Schiweller, chairman of the Great Ape Trust, who told The Register, âWe will sacrifice anything else before we sacrifice their care. There have been no shortcuts.â
While Obamacare has pulled the plug on the rest of us, no sacrifice will be too great, no expense will be spared in the care of the apes. Oh, to be an ape in America and have that kind of health care!
Ted Townsend, the Great Ape Trustâs founder has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to Planned Parenthood in Iowa.
According to the organizationâs Annual Reports, Townsend gave between $10,000-24,999 each year in Iowa in 2006 and 2007 and then upped his donations to the $25,000-49,999 range in 2008 and 2009.
In his Message from the Founder on the Great Ape Trust website, Townsend says, â…Great Ape Trust scientists explore the nebulous boundary between human and not-quite human.â (Is there a parallel here somewhere with the baby in the womb that Planned Parenthood sees as not-quite human?)
Townsend goes on to say, âThe information emerging from this work has the potential to revolutionize early-childhood educationâŠâ Here is a radical idea for revolutionizing early-childhood education: not killing the children before they get there.
Note to Townsend: Planned Parenthood kills an average of one kindergarten class every two days in the state of Iowa.
