Conversations with Helpers of PP

On Thursday, Dec. 2nd your CPLS director spoke to the President of Fidelity bank
which sold the Auburn Hills building to Planned Parenthood and also spoke with
Mason L. Capitani who brokerd the deal. My intent was two-fold. First to find
out if there was any possibilility that the sale had not closed yet and that it
could be stopped. Apparently it has closed and this was confirmed by a call made
to the Assessor's Office in Auburn Hills. However, I spoke to each gentlemen for
a long time and tried without mincing my words that they are responsible for
aiding and abetting the destruction of innocent life, by helping PP gain this
property. Both Ross and Capitani told me that they actually "sympathized with my
cause" in other words, that they too were against abortion. However both of them
refused any moral responsibilty. Indeed, the president of Fidelity said that
this was just a business transaction and that as business the bank needed to
sell to the highest bidder-- and that bidder was Planned Parenthood. There were
two other bidders. I told Ross he had a moral obligation to sell to one of those
other bidders--even if that meant taking a financial loss. At least he would not
have lost his moral integity.

The Perverbial Pass the Buck |
Talking to Ross and Capitani made my head spin. Talk about passing the Moral
buck. Captiani said that nothing was his fault-- call Fidelity Bank--it's their
fault. When I called Fidelity bank, President Ross said, it's not my fault, it's
the city of Auburn Hills' fault--call them! Ok don't worry we will!
My conversations with them were amazingly sad. Selling this building to PP was
just a good business transaction-- nevermind they say they agree with our cause.
NO THEY DON"T! This was all very enlightening to me-- I could see so plainly the
two sets of ethics-- the rules of good business over the rules of God's moral
law--and for these men there is no intersection or over lap between these two
sets of rules. It is pathetic. Pray for them. And even talk to them. Their
numbers are below.
