Plane crash kills children, grandchildren of abortion profiteer Bud Feldkamp

Family of Irving 'Bud' Feldkamp, Owner of the Nation's Largest Privately Owned Abortion Chain, Dies in Montana Plane Crash

by Gingi Edmonds

Mar. 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- 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 that the Catholic Holy Cross Cemetery owned by Resurrection Cemetery Association in Butte - contains a memorial for local residents to pray the rosary, at the 'Tomb of the Unborn'. This memorial, located a short distance west of the church, was erected as a dedication to all babies who have died because of abortion.

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.

Family Planning Associates was purchased four years ago by Irving Moore "Bud" Feldkamp III, owner of Allcare and Hospitality Dental Associates and CEO of Glen Helen Raceway Park in San Bernardino. The 17 California Family Planning clinics perform more abortions in the state than any other abortion provider - Planned Parenthood included - and they perform abortions through the first five months of pregnancy.

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 plane went down on Sunday, killing two of Feldkamp's daughters, two sons-in-law and five grandchildren along with the pilot and four family friends. The plane, a single-engine turboprop flown by Bud Summerfield of Highland, crashed into the Catholic cemetery and burst into flames, only 500 ft. from its landing destination. All aboard were killed.

Barbara, I read this story on Spirit Daily. It gave me the chills. I reminded me of stubborn Pharaoh, how he would not let the Israelites go until after his first born died. We must pray for his conversion. Julie

I am confused here. Are you posting this because you think his family deserved to die or it was God's way of punishing him for performing abortions? Or did you just feel like posting random facts about people killed in a freak accident?

[Note from Barbara:

Chelsea, I am confused here. Are you asking because you think I shouldn't have posted this or did you just feel like asking a random question?]

Chelsea, I think everyone will be saying even more prayers for this family knowing the history. I have been reading Barbara's site for a long time and I know she would never post anything with the type of motives you're ascribing to her.

I'm also curious about Chelsea's motive for posting.

Are you opposed to free speech, Chelsea?

What's wrong with telling citizens the rest of the story - the part the media censored?

I agree that this is newsworthy, if only for the same reason we'll see headlines like, "Sister of actress killed." People like some sort of feel for who these things happened too other than simply names, ages, and the town they were from.

And people are free to draw their own conclusions as to the cosmic meaning of the connection between Grandpa's investment plans ("I need to diversify... let's see... DEATH! That one's recession-proof!") and that his family perished near the Tomb of the Unborn -- just as people are free to draw their own conclusions as to the cosmic meaning of other connections -- like when an anti-abortion governor got a diagnosis of Down syndrome for her own unborn child.

That just makes me feel so sad. It's always horrible when so many members of a single family die together like that. I don't know if there is any big cosmic connection, but it's a terrible tragedy either way. :(

Wow,I don't know what to say. Such a tragedy.

This accident is a very shattering thing for them and it should change them forever, but whether it softens or hardens them remains to be seen. Much will depend on whether they process and use the grief to examine themselves and their beliefs, or whether they reject that process and settle into anger/depression/escape.

Tragedy all around on this one. I am not sure why Chelsea posted her comment, but she might have just been confused about the author's original intent...as when some pastors like Falwell suggested that 9/11 happened because of feminism and homosexuality. In fairness, she may have just been seeking clarification. The man and his family are in God's hands now (whether he chooses to acknowledge that or not).

I understand Chelsea's comment, if you and the rest of your readers don't. You appear to be implying that the death of those 14 people was a kind of divine retribution for the sins of their father/grandfather. Do you really believe God works that way? I hope not.

Like Chelsea, unless you are making that connection, it's difficult to see what the two facts have in common or why it would have been important for the news story to have covered Feldkamp's source of wealth one way or the other.

I suspect you won't let this appear on your blog, and that's OK. Your blog, your rules. I won't see it either way. I've continued reading over the years despite the fact that my politics are quite different than yours because I thought fundamentally we had the same values, but when you appear to be gleeful or smug over these deaths, I realize we are really on two very different pages. I plan to unsubscribe as soon as I finish this message.

Thanks for the years of advice and entertainment.

Barbara - I found this article more interesting in the irony of it all. I posted it on my facebook page - you would not believe the negative comments I received - one "friend" even accused me of being glad this family was dead! I had to take it down. Note - I am in my 40's and have a son with Down Syndrome and I'm Catholic and pro-life (duh!). Wow, huh?

The very fact that this man was not on the plane shows that our Lord has further plans for his life. We serve a loving and merciful God and I believe this can easily be seen as a second chance for him, a turning point in his life. However, let us not forget that our Lord is a just God who hates wickedness, punishes the sinful and defends the defenseless. This man’s actions have flown in the face of God’s holiness and his Righteous will and he is most certainly deserving of punishment those sins. We also must remember the Bible says that a father’s sins are visited upon his children and his children’s children (this should be extremely humbling to all us dads out there, we set the path of our children and we’ll answer for that path) and this man’s occupation has ultimately stained his entire family with the blood of the innocent. He is responsible for the deaths he is paid to facilitate and he is responsible for the activities he ties to his family. So, regardless of whether or not you see a cause and effect in this event, or reject the notion that we serve a God who would set something like this in motion, this man deserved Gods chastening hand and you’ll have to reconcile that in your own mind (I’d start by reading a few balancing Scriptures to your God is Love theology – “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” Romans 12:19). In regards to all that has happened and a tragedy it truly was, the thing most vital to his soul right now is what road he takes from here – because he now stands at a crossroad! Let us all pray the reason God spared his life was to crush his evil heart, bring him to Himself through repentance and then send him out on a truly awe inspiring crusade against the murderous acts he is currently guilty of. If God can use Paul then God can use this man!!

Israel as a Covenant nation was bound to obedience. The Lord was quite clear that He would bless Israel if the people obeyed, and curse Israel if she defied him. One of the ways in which Israel defied the Lord was that the people sacrificed their children to the demon Molech. He came to them and told them clearly that this type of horrid sin had never even occurred to him as something that they would do. Think of the tiny children placed onto the brazen arms of a statue that was stoked with fire so that they burned to death while the drums beat so no one could hear them shrieking. The Feldkamps are apparently Seventh Day Adventists. Soon after this family purchased these 17 clinics, God sent them warnings. Every week, he warned them that bloodshed would follow them if they did not hate bloodshed. Seventh Day Adventists are involved with a Covenant keeping God, but they were not being obedient. God is quite clear that child murder is a horror to him. He tells us in the Words to Israel that he had given them laws to live by that would have brought them blessing, but they would not have it. So then he tells them he will give them laws that will destroy them. What happened to this family is a warning not only to them, but to all of America. God will judge this nation for the blood of 50 million babies. He chose to use this family to do so. It is odd that we are told we cannot judge any woman who aborts her baby. She can take his or her tiny life for any reason and no reason. But the only time anyone gets huffy is to be angry if the Lord should choose to destroy a family for the sin of abortion. Women can do whatever they like, but God must be fair. I have even read posts where women say they want nothing to do with God if he would kill this man's children for such reasons. They should take comfort in the fact that as long as they feel that way, they never will have to have anything to do with Him. They just need to realize that "Plan B" for humans who don't like our Creator is eternal separation from him. I.E. Hell. The Lake of Fire.

I think it's really sad how easy it is for all of you who don't know this family to sit around and discuss God's judgment upon them. I knew this family very personally. Mike and Vanessa Pullen were friends of the family and their Dad Louis and Mom as well as extended family are members of my church and very good family friends. I can tell you that there is not a better, more generous, loving family than theirs. Sydney and Christopher were both very sweet, adorable, christian children. Mike and Vanessa both very down to earth, humble, laid back people, who personally lived modest lifestyles. Their deaths are reaking emotional havoc on the a very wide spectrum of people.

I personally am very anti-abortion, but you know reading things like this and hearing similar in the news, seeing anti-abortion protestors trying to get their 15 minutes of fame at Funerals, really turns me off to ever wanting to be associated with any anti-abortion organizations.
There is a time and place for everything and it would seem to me that decent,Christian people would be able to tell the difference. I can't see our Lord Jesus doing this at all. When tragedy happens His tears flow for those hurt by it.

If people really were concerned about the cause for abortion, I would think they would be a little more careful about what kind of opportunities they took to promote their cause.

I wonder if Chelsea is implying that the Sovereign God of the Universe is somehow indifferent to the wholesale slaughter of innocents in the abortion mills run by Feldkamp? Anyone who is unable or unwilling to put these two "random facts" together is either disingenuous, deluded or dumb.
