The March 22 crash of a private plane in a Catholic Cemetery in Montana claimed the lives of nine members of the family of “Bud” Feldkamp III, owner of the largest for-profit abortion chain in the country.
According to a report by freelance writer and pro-life activist Gingi Edmonds, Feldkamp lost two daughters, two sons-in-law and five grandchildren in the crash that also killed the pilot and four family friends. The plane, a single-engine turboprop crashed into the Catholic cemetery and burst into flames, only 500 ft. from its landing destination. In a sad irony, the crash occurred near the “Tomb of the Unborn,” a memorial erected in the cemetery to remember the millions of children killed in abortion.
While these details are not being reported by the mainstream media, Edmonds confirms that Feldkamp owns 17 California Family Planning clinics which perform more abortions in the state than any other provider – including Planned Parenthood.
“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,” Edmonds wrote in a media advisory. “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 cause of the crash remains a mystery. The pilot, Bud Summerfield, a former military flier, 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 planes 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.
Edmonds says that during her time working for Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, she stood outside Feldkamp’s mini-mansion in Redlands, California every Thursday holding fetal development signs and calling upon Bud and his wife Pam to repent of their involvement in abortion. She said Pam once laughed at the signs they were displaying and Bud was careful never to make eye contact with the protestors when he got in or out of his car.
”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)’,” she wrote.
A news source states that Bud Feldkamp visited the site of the crash with his wife and their two 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 only hope and pray that in the face of this tragedy, Feldkamp recognizes his need for repentance and reformation,” Edmonds writes. “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.”
