Wow! Ninety seconds that explain why Religion is Essential to Democracy!

This video reminded me of the statement attributed to de Tocqueville. "America is great because America is good. If America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great." We are seeing the collapse of America because of the collapse of moral values. We may have already reached the tipping point with the collapse of reason itself and a return to barbaric paganism. In that case, America will not only cease to be great, she may cease to be at all. Remember what happened to Rome!

Donald Trump Just Did Himself In! No, Don, Abortion is NOT a "Small Part" of What PP Does

Donald Trump Defends Planned Parenthood!



Donald Trump just did himself in with a large segment of potential voters like me -- pro-life conservatives.

Planned Parenthood has Plenty to Hide!

And they think they can do it. Like all child abusers they don't want anyone clued in to how they groom and molest children both physically and mentally. But hey, they got a government grant to do it so it must be a-okay!

Planned Parenthood Denies Lawmakers’ Request to See Its Graphic Sex Ed Curriculum
Just think, rake in millions in tax dollars, but you refuse to let a state legislator see the curriculum. Well, duh, it's porn. And you wouldn't want parents and others in the community to get ahold of it and advertise it around. Those pesky parents might be up in arms. Face it, PP is worse than the proverbial dirty old man in a trench coat who jumps out from the bushes and exposes himself. They actually do it in the classroom giving it a veneer of respectability and make the kids think it's okay. It's mental rape! I wonder, do they just use pictures of anal sex as in show and tell or do they conduct lab sessions with the kiddies? Here's just a taste of what's up for the youngsters:

The program is aimed at 11, 12, and 13-year-old students teaching graphic information that includes teaching children to put condoms on wooden dildos and pro-homosexual behavior.

Well, heck, isn't that what you want your 5th, 6th, and 7th graders learning? When I was eleven I was still playing with my dolls. I didn't know what a dildo was until long after I was married and I've never seen one except pictures. I don't think I suffered from ignorance of these things. In fact, there were only a few STDs at the time and kids weren't the ones getting them. Now, thanks to PP and other groups pushing promiscuity on kids, millions of teens are infected every year. Teen statistics are shocking and yet folks continue to push the same failed agenda of more and more and more sex talk on kids. PP's measure of success is how many kids can get on birth control and in their abortion mills. It's how they make their money and keep their empire going, folks.

PP really stands for "porno pushers," "promiscuity players," and "pandering pimps." Giving them tax dollars is like giving arsonists gas cards. STOPP them!

Taxpayers' New Years Resolution: Defund Planned Parenthood!

I have a suggestion for the taxpayers' New Years' Resolution. No it's not a diet, although prayer and fasting to achieve our goal would be in order. No, the diet we need to work on is a starvation diet for Planned Parenthood (PP). The evil bureaucracy of child-murder receives about $350 million of our tax dollars every year to annhilate our youngest American citizens. Ironic, isn't it? The taxpayers fund about 1/3 rd of the killer giant's budget enabling them to wipe out our hope of the future. The murdered babies belong to a group we might call Future Taxpayers of America. PP, then, is public enemy #1 for the country with their commitment to kill as many of those future taxpayers as possible.

PP also gets more than a quarter of its operating budget from individuals and foundations. It has always puzzled me why some commercial groups support Planned Parenthood. Pampers used to be a big donor (I don't know if they still are.) Explain that to me. What is the rationale for helping to kill consumers of your product? That isn't just counter intuitive, it's downright stupid. The Kroc Foundation (McDonald's philanthropic arm) also was a big supporter and may still be. But I can tell you from personal experience that grandkids are the driving force behind trips to the golden arches. In addition to avoiding businesses that support abortion and homosexuality, all I have to do to discourage my consumption of a Big Mac and fries is read the menu with the nutrition information. Yikes! Who needs a thousand calories for lunch? I tried the frappes and they're good, but at 400+ I don't need them either.

So how do we get Planned Parenthood de-funded? There are many strategies, and they all begin with a commitment to inform, lobby, and boycott. Defunding Planned Parenthood was a campaign issue in the Virginia governor's race. Sadly, Bob McDonnell has failed to follow through on his promise. Holding his feet to the fire is certainly a good action item for Virginians. (On the other hand, Bob McDonnell also gets kudos for resisting PP pressure for "comprehensive sex education" in the schools which is absolutely vile.) Another strategy is writing to corporate sponsors with your personal intention to boycott. I just ordered the boycott list from Life Decisions International and I'll be suggesting targets on my blog. Just think of the impact if all serious christians contacted one organization a month to protest their support of Planned Parenthood and tell them you're spending your disposable income somewhere else. LDI lists Kohls, Staples, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and AAA on their list among many others.

Let's make 2011 the year taxpayers give PP funding a major hit. Less money means fewer babies murdered by the biggest abortion business in the world.

To see Planned Parenthood's annual report for 2008-09 go here.
To see Stop Planned Parenthood (STOPP) go here.

Where's the beef? What happened to tax bucks, Planned Parenthood?

The Government Accounting Office recently released a report showing a huge discrepancy between the amount of tax dollars funnelled into Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion chain in the world and the amount they're spending. Where's the money, Washington Times' Rita Diller wants to know:

Planned Parenthood Federation of America's (PPFA) audits show the organization spent just $657.1 million between 2002 and 2008 from federal government grants and programs, but the abortion behemoth's own annual reports show that it took in $2.3 billion from government grants and programs during the same time period.

That's not pocket change. Why the discrepancy?....

Why the discrepancy, indeed. And why also, Diller asks, does PP continue to receive massive tax funding when most Americans oppose abortion?

Since 2009, at least five nationwide polls have confirmed that a majority of Americans consider themselves pro-life.

Someone, then, needs to explain to all those people why $2.3 billion in tax dollars have been doled out to an organization that admits to systematically having killed more than 1.8 million pre-born babies between 2002 and 2008 and then reports it only spent $657.1 million in federal dollars

Planned Parenthood appears to have a special relationship with the government even in Virginia where Governor Bob McDonnell promised to defund the killers during his campaign. After his election the tune changed and now McDonnell supports pouring Virginians' hard-earned money into PP's insatiable maw. Diller goes on:

Planned Parenthood affiliates continue to build huge abortion megacenters in minority neighborhoods in an attempt to polish its image and gear up for the veritable tsunami of clients that will be headed its way under President Obama's health care plan, which earmarks $11 billion for community health centers.

Is there no end to the amount of our hard-earned tax dollars that will be poured down the bottomless pit known as Planned Parenthood to quench this social-engineering agency's thirst for sexualizing our children, stealing their souls and dumping the mutilated bodies of our children's children into our nation's waste bins? (Read full article here.... )

Wow! Give this lady a medal and let's get the government out of the bedroom. (Isn't that what the abortionists' always say?)  Why would an organization that kills millions of babies blink an eye over stealing the taxpayers' money? Demand that your public officials stop funding PP with our taxes! Take the pledge and ask them to take it as well.

Planned Parenthood: Butchering Babies and Enabling Rapists

I recieved a fundraising letter yesterday from Life Legal Defense Foundation (LLDF). They are pursuing a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood because the massive abortion business covered up the statutory rape of a 13-year-old Ohio girl by her 21-year-old soccer coach. When the rapist brought the little girl for an abortion, Planned Parenthood ignored Ohio law that requires mandatory notification of the parents of underage children. They also failed to report the rape to authorities. LLDF needs money to continue to pursue the lawsuit. I'm sending a donation! This is one pro-life legal group you can trust. Besides being endorsed by Fr. Frank Pavone, they have a four star rating from Charity Navigator.

The letter included some interesting facts about the money PP is raking in while up to their necks in the blood of babies. Here's what LLDF reports:

As you know, Planned Parenthood makes a lot of money off abortion.

The Wall Street Journal once dubbed Planned Parenthood as "Abortion Central" (Feb. 1, 1994).

Planned Parenthood pulls in more than $810 Million a year off their abortion and contraception business! According to their Annual Reports...

• Since 1987, they have reported a total of $8.35 Billion worth of income!
• $2.95 Billion came from clinic income (36%)
• $2.71 Billion came from government grants and contracts (32%), and
• $2.24 Billion came from private contributions (27%).

As you can see, baby-killing is a very lucrative business! When you multiply those 227,375 abortions they do every year by the aberage price of $400, it's $91 Million a year!

To make matters worse, Planned Parenthood recieves massive funding from wealthy corporations and tax-exempt foundations -- $228 Million a year!

They even get taxpayer money from the U.S. Government -- about $254 Million a year!

And in Virginia, Planned Parenthood is now receiving money from a "pro-choice" license plate. Governor Bob McDonnell, who claims to be pro-life, could have vetoed the bill requiring the pro-choicers to put their money where their mouth is by directing the fee to adoption or other services that offer women a real choice. Instead, the plate is one more conduit for funneling money to the killers at Planned Parenthood.

Sex Ed: A Plague Inflicted on Children

I received an inquiry today about sex education and how to fight it. (Sigh...) Some things never change. Pro-family folks were fighting sex ed in Fairfax County, VA back in the 70s. Planned Parenthood's brand of sex ed was polluting the middle schools and high schools. Sex games and values clarification programs were undermining parental teaching. The condom on the banana (or the girl putting the condom on the boys finger - even worse!) was going on all over the place. The raping of our children's hearts and minds was in full tilt, and one can see from the state of the culture that it was successful. How many parents saw their grandchildren arrive without the benefit of marriage and the protection of a stable family or the demonic horror of grandchildren murdered before birth?

Yes, sex ed has been successful. As Alan Guttmacher told Planned Parenthood, they would get abortion on demand through sex ed in the schools. And the battle rages on.

Here's what I sent back to the sex ed inquiry, but I've elaborated on it. Perhaps I'm too pessimistic, but my first advice is always: home school if you can! The public schools are so polluted with the culture of death that you endanger your children by putting them there:

Matt Abbott forwarded your email and I am responding. I fought the sex ed program in Fairfax County, VA 25 years ago. To be honest, it is a losing battle, but that doesn't mean it should not be fought. Ultimately, the school system in Fairfax threw everybody out (including pro-life groups) but Planned Parenthood's agenda remained and remains in the system.

The new bullying programs and "safe touch" programs are just sex ed lite and they include "tolerance" for the gay agenda under the guise of protecting vulnerable students being persecuted. Gay-Straight Alliance groups which are increasing dramatically are also about building the gay agenda.

The only group of students who can be persecuted without fear of retaliation from the system are Christians. Even teachers engage in ridicule in many places. Students with offensive T-shirts are tolerated. Students who wear pro-life or Christian T-shirts are disciplined. It is a sad situation and I encourage people to home school. Obviously, though, everyone can't do that and the next best thing is to fight and let your children see you fight. Although sometimes that is a losing battle too as the David Parker situation in Massachusetts shows.

Many school systems are telling parents to butt out. They think they own your children during the school day and you have no right to be informed about anything they do. (My daughter-in-law recently found out about the "day of silence" two weeks after it took place at her daughter's middle school in Austin, TX. The principal was totally unsympathetc to parents' concerns when they objected. I'm happy to say my DIL has decided to home-school her children including her rising 9th grader.)

The sources who are best able to advise on this matter I think are Jim Sedlack at Stopp Planned Parenthood, also Human Life International and American Life League. Another source is Randy Engel who wrote Sex Education, the Final Plague. Sex ed in the public schools is nothing but contraceptive education with abortion as a backup. The programs are anti-child stressing what a nuisance kids are and how they ruin your life. (There is a particularly objectionable program that uses a baby doll that cries at random times. The doll uses the distress cry and of course there is none of the positive feedback mothers get from their children. Many young girls after going through a program like that say they never want children.)

Unless it's an abstinence only program (and even those have problems) sex ed in the classroom is nothing but fornication training with a claim that consequences will be non-existent. Nonsense. Even if they don't address abortion directly the message is clear that there is a solution to "mistakes." And, of course, there are many other consequences as well including sexually transmitted diseases which are rampant among the young.

I hope this is helpful. Parents banding together and fighting is the only way to have an impact, but success will be measured in baby steps. And Planned Parenthood has a lot of money and they are using it to go after the kids big time.

Remember that tyrants always try to take control of the kids. Those who control the young control the future. Hitler had his Hitler Youth. Mao had his Youth Army. Stalin had his Stalinist Youth Movement. And our own president has his Obama kids program. Parents, protect your children. You are their first and primary educators; you are also the first line of defense. Fathers, you have a particular obligation. Teach the faith!

Bob McDonnell is a Big Disappointment!

I'm posting this email from Virginians for Life (VFL) because I'm really disgusted with Governor Bob McDonnell. He promised on Laura Ingraham's radio show to defund Planned Parenthood, the biggest killer of Virginia's tiniest citizens. He didn't do it and he's playing politics to hide his actions. Read the message from VFL and I hope you'll call the governor's office and tell him you're not only disappointed, but think he missed an opportunity to act like a real Catholic defending the most defenseless.

Virginians for Life April 22, 2010

Tell Bob McDonnell to apologize for breaking his promise

Planned Parenthood has just claimed VICTORY because our gutless Governor refused to defund them.

In a clever sell out last week, Governor McDonnell managed to provide evidence that he was cutting money for abortion, while INCREASING the amount of Virginia dollars flowing into Planned Parenthood.

There is nothing we can do for the babies until next year, but we can press on in the fight to defund Planned Parenthood by making our outrage at Governor McDonnell's sell-out to baby killers heard from the roof tops.

Here are the facts:

Remember, a few years ago the General Assembly removed Planned Parenthood as a line item in the budget. This way, each year legislators could say, "I never voted for Planned Parenthood funding," while the money continued to flow to Planned Parenthood out of a non-specific "general fund."

That is why Virginian's for Life specifically asked Governor McDonnell to refer to Planned Parenthood in the budget amendments and ban them from receiving funds.

Instead, Governor McDonnell borrowed from the bureaucratic play book and, while he stipulated that no funds be used for "providing abortion services," he simply failed to mention Planned Parenthood. This means that Governor McDonnell is continuing to allow tax dollars from the "general fund" to flow to Planned Parenthood.

To make matters worse, Governor McDonnell approved a new form of revenue for Planned Parenthood. He signed a separate law, creating a "Trust Women/Respect Choice" specialty license plate in Virginia. Proceeds from these new Virginia license plates will also go to Planned Parenthood.

Earlier in the legislative session, some TRUE pro-life lawmakers amended this bill to redirect funds to Virginia's Crisis Pregnancy Centers, but their amendment was killed in the senate.

Governor McDonnell could have used the Governor's veto pen to kill the bill or reinstate that amendment and allow the money to go to Crisis Pregnancy Centers.

Instead, Governor McDonnell did amend the bill slightly. He threw another meaningless bone to pro-lifers by stipulating that the money cannot be used to "provide abortion services." Then, Governor McDonnell signed the bill into law, sending all the proceeds to Virginia's largest abortion provider: Planned Parenthood.

While they are not tax dollars per-say, Virginia government employees will still be the ones distributing Virginia license plates, and processing money through Virginia's government offices before it is sent to Planned Parenthood. Rather than give Planned Parenthood tax dollars directly, the state is helping them to raise money through the sale of state license plates.

Since this is not a budget item, it doesn't have to be renewed year after year. This is an entirely NEW and PERMANENT source of Virginia funding for Planned Parenthood, signed into law by our own, "pro-life" Governor Bob McDonnell.

Planned Parenthood sent out an update hailing this as a "VICTORY," and well they should.
Every time you see a "Trust Women/Respect Choice" license plate as you are driving down Virginia's roads, remember that Planned Parenthood is thanking "pro-life" Governor Bob McDonnell for that new source of Virginia revenue.

Bob McDonnell is a typical politician trying to please both sides of the aisle and hopes that you and I are naive enough to buy it.
Do you buy it?
I pray that you do not.

We need a Governor with guts and integrity.

Please call Bob McDonnell at 804-786-2211 and let him know how disgusted you are and that you expect him to fulfill his promise next year.

For the babies,

Marnie Deaton

Over 200 Christendom College Students Protest Abortion at Planned Parenthood Clinic

Please Help a Pro-Life Champion

I sent this message out this evening to my email list. Please help!

Dear Friends,

I've written before asking your financial and prayer support for solid pro-life, pro-family candidates. And I'm asking again for a man who is a great pro-lifer and a personal friend, Bob Marshall.

It's hard to believe that a Virginia House of Delegates member could become a national target of the homosexual lobby, but Bob is the top target of national and state pro homosexual groups and abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and NARAL whom he's fought for years.

For example, the homosexual advocacy group, Equality Virginia PAC, wrote recently:

Defeating Marshall (like our prior defeats of Delegates Dick Black and Brad Marrs) would echo resoundingly in the Republican caucus and among some conservative Democrats … EVPAC is continuing our work to build collaborations with … national groups to provide … effective backing for pro-equality campaigns.

Their purpose is not just to defeat Bob. It is to ensure that other legislators across the United States will not challenge the homosexual agenda and to eliminate lawmakers who take their faith seriously. Last October 31, 2008, Time Magazine ("The Gay Mafia That's Redefining Liberal Politics”) showed how out-of-state homosexual money already defeated two Virginia pro-family state delegates in 2005.

Bob Marshall does not duck difficult questions. Bob flew pro-life activist Julie Mackama (who was conceived as a result of sexual assault) into Virginia for a Richmond legislative hearing. Julie spoke for Bob’s bill which blocked tax-paid “Morning After Pills” at state colleges. (Bob’s bill passed the House of Delegates, but failed in a Senate Committee.)

Former Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO) lost in 2008, because she ran out of money and could not answer fabricated claims brought against her by the same homosexual and abortion groups now trying to beat Bob Marshall. Bob Marshall is running in his 10th general election, and he needs our help!

Bob is holding a fund-raising event at Rappahannock Cellars on August 30 from 5:30 to 7:30. If you live in the Northern Virginia area come on out. I'll be there to support Bob and I'd love to meet you.

You and I can ensure that the state legislator and All Saints parishioner who authored Virginia’s Constitutional Marriage Amendment in 2006, and Virginia’s ban on Partial Birth infanticide abortions does not lose his office this November for lack of support from those of us who have the gift of Faith.

Go to Bob's web site to see his broad appeal. I ask you to join me in supporting Bob Marshall’s reelection with a check, the largest you can make. Virginia has no limit on campaign donations and corporate money is allowed. You can donate on-line at the website or mail your check to Friends of Bob Marshall P.O. Box 421 Manassas, VA 20108.

I know these are hard economic times, but if we love the unborn and value family we really need to come through for people like Bob who are more than politicians. Bob is a warrior for the Lord. He needs our prayers and our pocketbooks.

May the Lord reward you for whatever you can do to help Bob be re-elected to the Virginia House of Delegates this November.

With a grateful heart,

Mary Ann Kreitzer

Forced Abortion Incident in China Proves Pro-Choice Groups Are Pro-Abortion

Pro-abortion groups love to talk about "choice" but they never support any choice but the murder of children. Take the case of Chinese mother, Arzigul Tursun, who at six months pregnant was threatened with the forced abortion of her child. Did any of the usual "pro-choice" suspects intervene to defend Arzigul's choice to keep her child? Not a one. Nary a peep from the champions of choice. Not a single press release or comment to the media. NARAL, Planned Parenthood, Emily's list, NOW, et al save their outrage for people like Sarah Palin who dared not only to give birth to a precious little child with Down's Syndrome but didn't drag her pregnant teenager down to a PP mill to vacuum out the kid. Women who kill their grandchildren earn the admiration of the "pro-choice" crowd.

The choice propaganda is just that -- propaganda. The true pro-choicers are running the 3500 crisis pregnancies around the country offering women a real alternative, parenting or adoption, choices moms and their babies can live with. The only choice PP and their buddies want is a bloody, mangled body in the medical waste bag. And if the mother victim is a minor brought in by a sexual predator who committed statutory rape and is bringing his little sex-object to be recycled, that's okay with them too. In a Life Dynamics investigation a young woman posing as a thirteen year old with an adult "boyfriend" called over 800 Planned Parenthood facilities. Ninety-one percent instructed her how to cover-up for the predator and get the abortion. Whose choice were they protecting? The statutory rapist. Don't hold your breath waiting for the mainstream media to imitate this excellent example of investigative journalism. That would conflict with their activist approach shilling for the leftwing culture of death. Join the movement to STOP PLANNED PARENTHOOD today.
