My friend April at Straight from the Heart posted this story and I thought it was something I wanted all of my friends to see as well. The article came from Jill Stanek’s web site.
From Christian Newswire this afternoon, by pro-life activist and writer Gingi Edmonds:
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… the [cemetery] contains… the Tomb of the Unborn… 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 4 years ago by… Feldkamp… owner of Allcare and Hospitality Dental Associates and CEO of Glen Helen Raceway Park in San Bernardino. The 17 CA Family Planning clinics perform more abortions in the state than any other abortion provider – Planned Parenthood included – and they perform abortions through the first 5 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 2 of Feldkamp’s daughters, 2 sons-in-law and 5 grandchildren along with the pilot and 4 family friends….
The cause of the crash is a mystery. The pilot, who was a former military flier who logged over 2k miles, gave no indication to air traffic controllers that the aircraft was experiencing difficulty when he asked to divert to an airport in Butte. Witnesses report that the plane suddenly nosedived toward the ground with no apparent signs of a struggle. There was neither a cockpit voice recorder nor a flight data recorder onboard, and no radar clues into the plane’s final moments because the Butte airport is not equipped with a radar facility. Some speculate that the crash was due to ice on the wings, but this particular plane model has been tested for icy weather and experts have stated that ice being the cause is unlikely.
In my time working for Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, I helped organize and conduct a weekly campaign where youth activists stood outside of Feldkamp’s mini-mansion in Redlands holding fetal development signs and raising community awareness regarding Feldkamp’s dealings in child murder for profit. Every Thursday afternoon we called upon Bud and his wife Pam to repent, seek God’s blessing and separate themselves from the practice of child killing.
We warned him, for his children’s sake, to wash his hands of the innocent blood he assisted in spilling because, as Scripture warns, if “you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.” (Ezekiel 35:6)
A news source states that Bud Feldkamp visited the site of the crash with his wife and their 2 surviving children on Monday. As they stood near the twisted and charred debris talking with investigators, light snow fell on the tarps that covered the remains of their children.
I don’t want to turn this tragic event into some creepy spiritual “I told you so” moment, but I think of the time spent outside of Feldkamp’s – Pam Feldkamp laughing at the fetal development signs, Bud Feldkamp trying not to make eye contact as he got into his car with a small child in tow – and I think of the haunting words, “Think of your children.” I wonder if those words were haunting Feldkamp as well as he stood in the snow among the remains of loved ones, just feet from the Tomb of the Unborn?
I only hope and pray that in the face of this tragedy, Feldkamp recognizes his need for repentance and reformation. I pray that God will use this unfortunate catastrophe to soften the hearts of Bud and Pam and that they will draw close to the Lord and wash their hands of the blood of thousands of innocent children, each as precious and irreplaceable as their own.
“I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then.” (Deut. 30:19)
This is hard to think about. Gingi’s right. No MSM report included that particular business detail. An Associated Press article did include this, however:
Feldkamp’s family has gone through tragedy before. Two years ago, his 10-month-old grandson, Chase, died after he was found to have slipped between a mattress and the edge of a bed during a nap. The child was taken to a hospital and was eventually taken off life support.

Note from Beth: I think this tragedy is horrible. I don’t wish this on anyone — no matter what. I just wanted to put this out there for you to see. This man needs prayer. I pray this horrble tragedy turns him TO the Lord instead of hardening his heart even more. God help him.
I was not aware of the connections and this is incredible! Yes I will pray. There is more that I could say but prayer I think is necessary.
Bless you dear friend.
A shudder went through me as I read this. Of course we shouldn’t turn this tragedy into an I-told-you-so moment, and of course we should pray for the family involved. But wow. Just wow.
What an interesting post. We serve an awesome God that loves us all. He died for this man too. I pray that he will find repentance and his way to the cross. What an opportunity for God to show him his LOVE!

Beth, I am glad you posted it!! We all need to post this! Thanks!
Beth,
My husband and I left you a comment over at my blog. Go by and read it.
Judy
I read this earlier today on someone else’s blog and I got goosebumps when I read it! Glad you posted it!
What a tragic story! Oh, that God would speak to his heart and bring him to saving faith in Christ.
I had not heard about this until now. I, too, had a shudder go through me. This man and his family definitely need prayer in the days ahead.
They need our prayers.
Wow. I had no idea. Thanks for sharing. I pray that something good comes from all this.
thanks for filling in the details. You re right. I read abt that too on the number and felt awful for the family..
..not to sound judgemental.. but..nevermind.
I read it over at “Wells of Hope”, and I can only repeat myself, it’s an incredible and awsome read. It also goes to show that the media leaves out those vital little details.
I was also not aware that the abortion time goes to *5* months. At any time from conception onwards I consider it murder, but five months, dear God, the baby is just about fully developped on top of that. Absolutely horrendous!
Yes, prayer is the only answer for this man and his wife.
Wow, I hadn’t heard that either. Praying for this family.
Beth,
Sorry about this. I told you that we left you a comment on my blog, well….I left it on the post under the “What Do You See”. I guess that I was laughing so hard that I clicked on the wrong post! ha
Judy
Wow. Yes, we need to pray for this family. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Just… wow. I feel for that family in more ways than one. I wonder if he already feels guilty for where his money is coming from and that is why he always averted his eyes?
I hope him and his wife will change. I’m so sorry they had to go through all this, even if they were living off blood-money.
I can’t imagine standing in front of that monument with that burden he must have… they need our prayers.
Wow! I had no idea! Also, their last stop was at Butte.. that’s where I live. It is about 20 minutes away. Thanks for sharing!!
Like my sister said, their last stop was in Oroville, CA (which is located in Butte County) and I thought it was an odd coincidence how they crashed in a city called Butte (in Montana).
Oroville is my birthplace and I grew up there until I was 17 years old, needless to say, this news story grabbed my attention and I posted about it merely hours after it happened.
I HAD NO idea about the connections :o) oh my goodness, thank you for posting this!! I will definitely share this with my friends and family :o) sigh.
We must fear the Lord and his wrath when we turn against Him!
What a tragic example 🙁
