War on Women: Planned Parenthood Killed About 438 Unborn Baby Girls Per Day - By Terry Jeffrey - In its latest annual report, Planned Parenthood revealed that it killed 327,653 unborn babies in its abortion clinics in fiscal 2013. It also stated that in the year that ended on June 30, 2014 it received $524.8 million -- or 41 percent of its total funding -- from the government. According to the Oversight Committee, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated Planned Parenthood gets about $450 million per year in federal funding. Nor does Planned Parenthood deny -- as revealed in a series of recently released videos -- that it harvests tissue from some of the unborn babies it kills. For Americans who respect innocent life, one obvious question is this: Why is Congress taking hard-earned money from American families struggling to raise their own children in a safe and decent environment and handing it over to a group that kills hundreds of thousands of babies per year and sometimes cuts out their organs?
   ...In calendar 2013, according to the CDC, 1,049 male babies were born for each 1,000 female babies. That means approximately 48.8 percent of the babies born that year were girls and 51.2 percent were boys. Assuming the 327,653 unborn babies Planned Parenthood killed in fiscal 2013 tracked the same male-female ratio as the babies born in calendar 2013, then Planned Parenthood would have aborted 159,895 baby girls and 167,758 baby boys. That would mean Planned Parenthood killed about 438 unborn baby girls per day and 460 unborn baby boys. The United States suffered 58,220 fatal military casualties during the war in Vietnam, according to the National Archives. Planned Parenthood's one-year abortion total of 327,653 is about 5.6 times greater than the casualties this nation suffered in Vietnam. 

Planned Parenthood Cancels Margaret Sanger … Sort Of. While disavowing the abortion mill founder's racist views, the current president refused to say Sanger was a racist. - By Thomas Gallatin

    ...The truth is that Sanger's views were indeed racist, with her expressed and primary goal for abortion being population control. Specifically, she aimed to limit the reproduction rate of the underdeveloped within the populace so as "to make the coming generation into such physically fit, mentally capable, socially alert individuals as are the ideal of a democracy." That's called eugenics, and a certain political party in Germany also endorsed it.

   ...As Human Coalition Vice President Benjamin Watson contended, "Whether they personally identify with Sanger's ideology or not, they continue to carry out her mission, by serving as the leading executioner of our children. The same Sanger they claim to disavow would applaud their efforts and results, as a disproportionate percentage of black children have been killed in Planned Parenthood's abortion clinics." He added, "Acknowledging a racist history does not absolve them of the blood on their hands, as they continue to take full advantage of victims of the racism they decry."

 

Abortion and why the Catholic Church was targeted - By Terry T. Beatley is President of the Hosea Initiative and author of What If We've Been Wrong? Keeping My Promise to America's  "Abortion King."  Clare Ruff is Hosea Initiative's Vice-President of Events and Outreach.

     This article contains the very moving story of one man's sin, repentance and redemption. That man was Dr. Bernard Nathanson (1926-2011). He was arguably one of the most influential practitioners and proponents of abortion in the late 1960s into the 1970s. Then one day he saw a human baby in the womb moving in an ultrasound video. And he felt convicted that, despite all of the reasons that he had proposed in favor of abortion, that aborting human beings was morally wrong. And this conviction led him thereafter to become a powerful voice in favor of the right to life of the unborn. In the 1980s he was the narrator for the film "The Silent Scream." And years later, as an old man, he told a young woman who came to interview him the story of his conversion and repentance. That woman was Terry Beatley, and this is her story of their encounter. The article appears in the October edition of Inside the Vatican magazine.  

      [NARAL's Executive Director Lawrence] Lader also modeled his anti-Catholic bigotry after the queen of racism and eugenics, Margaret   Sanger, the founder of the Birth Control Federation of America (later renamed Planned Parenthood). She started her dirty deeds in 1916 as a fallen-away Catholic whose socialist father taught her to despise the Church. In the early 1920s, she strategically pitted Protestants against Catholics over the issue of contraception. By 1939, she launched the "Negro Project," an aggressive plan to reduce the black race by pushing birth control and sterilization onto minority communities under the guise of women's healthcare. In the late 1950s, she led the charge for a little white pill which fueled an era of unfettered promiscuity and out-of-wedlock births. Then, she passed the baton of abhorrence of the Catholic Church to Lader, her biographer and admirer, who soon thereafter partnered with Nathanson to form NARAL. The story of how Dr. Bernard Nathanson and the other founders of NARAL deceitfully popularized abortion by intentionally undermining the Catholic Church and its bishops. Far too many are unaware of this history. Terry Beatley, the author, interviewed Dr. Nathanson who gave her a first hand account of their 4 step diabolical "Catholic strategy." (Miraculously, Nathanson, an atheist and America's "abortion king," had become pro-life and had converted to Catholicism.)

     ...As Dr. Nathanson recounted it, everything was in place "for the portrayal of the Catholic Church as a political force, for the use of anti-Catholicism as a political instrument, and for the manipulation of Catholics themselves by splitting them and setting them against each other." (Ibid., p. 181) Let it be said: The Church helped us in NARAL. The papal encyclical of 1968 [Humane Vitae] denying both abortion and contraception to Catholics was a bonanza for us at NARAL at precisely the correct moment in history. By linking abortion and contraception in the encyclical, the Vatican made it impossible for those Catholics who were using birth control to split off the abortion issue, therefore leaving them to pick their own way through the confusing ethical and theological landscape. (Ibid., p. 189) The leap from practicing contraception to supporting legalized abortion proved an easy one.

Top 10 Mind-Blowing Images Of Human Life In The Womb (PersonhoodUSA) You started your life in the womb. And you won't believe your eyes when you see these incredible images of human development before birth!
   1. At just 4 days after fertilization wordpress.com - What? That zygote doesn't look human? Well, scientifically, it is! It's growing, so it must be alive. It has human parents, so it must be human. In fact, since fertilization, that zygote has possessed a predetermined sex (it's a girl!) and her own unique set of human DNA. Her DNA will guide her body's development over the next nine months (and its entire lifetime!). Remember, don't judge or discriminate against other human beings just because they don't look like us!
   2. At just 5-6 weeks of gestation (image at right), nanobiotechnews.com - Despite being only a quarter of an inch long, her nose, mouth, and ears are already taking shape! Her heart is beating about 100 times a minute (almost twice as fast as yours) and blood is beginning to circulate through her body. Brain waves have been detectable for at least 2-3 weeks already

Almost 900 doctors sign Dublin Declaration, affirm abortion is not maternal health - By Thaddeus Baklinski - ...Unveiled at the International Symposium on Maternal Healthcare in Dublin, Ireland, the Declaration states: "As experienced practitioners and researchers in obstetrics and gynaecology, we affirm that direct abortion, the purposeful destruction of the unborn child, is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman." ...Signatory Dr. Eoghan de Faoite told LifeSiteNews there is a fundamental difference between life saving treatment a woman may need during pregnancy, and abortion, which is the direct and intentional taking of the life of the unborn child. "The Dublin Declaration clarifies this quite succinctly," he said. He pointed out that through the Dublin Declaration, obstetricians, gynecologists, neonatologists, pediatricians and other doctors from across the specialties of medicine and surgery testify that a country does not need legalized abortion in order to preserve maternal health and reduce maternal mortality.  ...Further information on the Dublin Declaration and the list of signatories is available here.

Fetid Fruits of Feminism Written By Laurie Higgins - Hillary Clinton infamously said that abortion should be legal, safe, and rare. She also said that conception marks the beginning of "potential life." If the union of egg and sperm, which creates something actual that possesses the full genetic code of a new human being, does not in Clinton's view mark the start of an actual human life, one wonders when Clinton thinks potential life becomes actual life. Perhaps this short and remarkable video can illuminate for Clinton a truth about the actual lives of preborn babies the intentional killings of which should not be rare but unthinkable: Some intrepid reporter should then ask Clinton these questions:
   - Does this video depict an actual human being?
   - Does this human being have any inherent rights based on his or her status as a human?
   - Does the absence of full development abrogate a person's right to exist?
   - Does a person's location abrogate his or her right to exist?
   - If one person's right to control her reproductive system comes into direct conflict with the right of another human (less mature, less free, and more vulnerable) simply to exist, which is a right of a higher moral order?
   - Is the legal right to have one's child killed in utero progress? Or does the legalization of the "right" to legally kill one's own child demonstrate the expansive capacity of humans to rationalize evil?
   Though the most loathsome of all the fetid fruits of feminism, abortion is just one of many. Feminism, which gave America dead babies on a metaphorical platter gilded with silver-tongued sophistry, has rarely been noted for either its moral rectitude or intellectual consistency. While feminists claim to value women, most support the murder of preborn girls. While they claim to value female empowerment, many support the objectification of women through pornography. While they claim to value freedom, choice, and diversity, many derogate the choice of unselfish domesticity and ridicule those who believe sexual activity is appropriate only between one man and one woman within the context of conjugal marriage.
   It's hard to believe that so many Americans have been duped by what is commonly referred to as "second wave" and "third wave" (with its worship of gender ambiguity and "sex positivity") feminism into believing that women in the 21stCentury are better off than women in, say, the 1950's. Yes, in the 1950's it was difficult for women to enter male-dominated professions or rise to the upper echelons of corporate America, men made sexist jokes, and little women couldn't play peewee football. But:
   - In the 1950's, women weren't slaughtering 1,300,000 of their own babies every year, approximately half of which are girl babies whose own mothers rob them of their right to an "empowered" existence.
   - According to the Guttmacher Institute, the maternal death toll due to illegal abortions in 1950 was 300, and by 1965, eight years before Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in every state without restriction, deaths due to illegal abortions dropped to just under 200.  "Progressives" think the intentional killing of 56 million babies is justified to prevent the unintentional deaths of 9,600 women, all in the name of freedom, choice, and empowerment (also known as selfishness).
   - Women in the 1950's weren't so delusional as to believe that appearing in pornography constitutes empowerment.
   - Women in the 1950's weren't so delusional as to believe that watching porn with their boyfriends and husbands is healthy and good.
   - The concept of "feminist porn" would have been both oxymoronic and moronic to most pre-1960's women who held modesty and self-respect in higher esteem and, therefore, would have recoiled at the objectification of women that "feminist porn" represents for both actors and viewers.
   - One in three women in the 1950's weren't raising their children without fathers.
   Feminists have helped women scale boardroom walls and smash glass ceilings to smithereens. They've helped women tear up basketball courts during their college years. And they've made it possible for little girls everywhere to achieve their lifelong dreams of serving in combat and stripping naked to have sex on camera for the lascivious eyes of men and now of women who are becoming more like men in their most brutish states.
Pay no attention to the bloody, dismembered bodies of tiny humans whose brutal killings represent freedom and empowerment to women who have become both more selfish and more enslaved to men, the government, and their own untethered appetites.

Internet video, "Everyone Against Abortion, Please Raise Your Hand," has "sparked a response like no other I've seen" said Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, the video's producer. "Viewers are calling 'Raise Your Hand' the most powerful, memorable, and touching pro-life video they've ever seen, yet there are no bloody images or controversial statements in it," said Fr. Pavone. "The outstretched hand of this child is reaching a lot of people."

OnlineForLife.org developed this insightful quiz about abortion. It's worth a few moments of your time to see just how much you know about women seeking abortions and the abortion industry. It may shock you. Then consider spreading this blog post link around to as many people as possible, especially those who are ambivalent to the life. ...Almost half (48%) of all abortions are performed in the United States on women who have had a previous abortion, and 6 in 10 women who have abortions are already mothers! Abortion is being used in our country as birth control, especially for those in low-income situations.   One of the main arguments for abortion is that it should be allowed in situations of incest and rape. However, abortions related to these situations account for less than 2% of all abortions performed in the United States each year.

After 41 years of Roe - Pro-Aborts still trying to Justify Murder Rev Michael Bresciani - Walk with me through one more list of pro-abortionist justifications and the answer to each of them. These answers are not mine, but have been born of the concerted effort of many brave, decent, loving and highly intelligent people who have carefully examined the product of 41 years of Roe v. Wade. Each section starts with the typical Pro-abort reasoning or excuse to justify and continue in the slaughter of an entire generation.
   - It's part of women's health. What part of death is healthy to anyone? Denying the right to abort is part of a "war against women." ...No women are dying in this war, only their children are dying. Are they using their children as shields as do all cowards? Have they engaged in the only war in world history where the warriors go on living and only their children die? Is this the new definition for - perversion?
   - It's my body, only I can decide what happens to it. It is the only body on earth to have 8 limbs, two brains and matching organs and of course - two hearts. Gee, think it may be two bodies after all? It is not a living human being, but only a lump of fleshy material. Almost every state in the union has a criterion to determine when a human being is completely dead. When all brain activity ceases the person is said to be clinically dead. Does that mean that when a fetus develops brain activity between 6 to 12 weeks, depending on whose study you reference, they are fully alive? Has anyone checked lately to see if the abortionist's have any appreciable brain activity?
   - It's the law of the land, Dredd Scott was also the law of the land at one time. A law which determined that black people - are not human! Can the Supreme Court make a supreme mistake; is Roe v. Wade another grand goof-up? If they had enough good sense to reverse Dredd Scott and prohibition, can they find the resolve to back up on Roe? God help them, it is so long overdue.
   - Obama: abortion can help daughters "fulfill their dreams," This statement was made in a White House press release on January 22, 2012. Although the debate about whether Obama is a Muslim or a Christian continues, it is for certain he is no biblical theologian. He has ignored one of the most recurring and fundamental teaching of the scripture. It is sometimes called the "law of reciprocation," but in lay terms, it is known as the law of "reaping and sowing" Jesus Christ made it so clear that a child could understand it. To wit:
   "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." (Mt 7: 2) No one will defy this law; it is active today and will be to the last day. You will not ever realize your dream at the expense of another, especially if the other is a perfectly innocent developing human being.

Video: ABQ Woman Shares from Experience Why Fetal Anomalies Are No Justification for Late-term Abortion -- /Christian Newswire/ -- On the weekend before a municipal election that will determine if Albuquerque, New Mexico, will become the first city in the nation ban abortions after 20 weeks, a woman has come forward in a new video to tell why, when faced with a prenatal diagnosis of a child with severe fetal anomalies, she heroically rejected pressure to abort her son, Chance. Calling the bid to end late-term abortion a "humanitarian issue," Chantel Stuckman told of the heart-wrenching moment when she and her husband were told that her 24 week pre-born son had deformities so severe that he was not expected to live. While her doctors did not demand that she abort, they pressured her to rapidly make a life or death decision.
   Having had an abortion as a teen that she deeply regrets, Chantel knew that this baby must be given a chance at life, however slim. "Chance was diagnosed with hydrocephaly and other conditions that often lead to abortions out of a misguided concern that the parents don't want their child to suffer," said Tara Shaver, Chairperson of ABQ Voters For Late Term Abortion Ban. "Aborting babies who are sick or disabled isn't something a compassionate society should do. We should let life take its course, and when we do, sometimes unexpected blessings come from what seems at first like tragedy."
   Chantel agrees, noting that doctors told her that her son would not survive, but he did. They said he would never walk, talk, or read, but he can do all three. "I think that all children struggle," said Chantell. "And I don't think that killing them is ever our first option. I don't think we look at a child who's going through drug abuse and say, 'You know, they're really struggling. Maybe it would be better if I killed him.' I don't think we look at a child who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and say, 'Well, maybe we should just kill him because their suffering is going to be too much.' So I don't see the fact that a child may or may not suffer as a reason to end their life."
   Today, Chance is a happy 14-year old teen who is a joy to all who know him. Chantel supports the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Ordinance because she understands more than most the heartbreak of a poor fetal diagnosis -- and that abortion is not the answer. In a new video, produced by Shaver and Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue, Chantel urges Albuquerque voters to support the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Ordinance for the sake of children like Chance. Watch the video: "Chance: Life Matters" on Youtube.com.

The most heartrending abortion testimony you'll ever hear, from a former abortionist BY JOHN JALSEVAC (See video and text of testimony here.) - Martin Fox, President National Pro-Life Alliance summary: If there ever was graphic testimony detailing the horrors of abortion, those attending the recent hearing on the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act heard it firsthand. Dr. Anthony Levatino, OB/Gyn, who had performed more than 1,200 abortions, testified before the House Subcommittee on the Constitution to his change of heart after suffering the searing pain from the death of his own child.
   Dr. Levatino was speaking at a House hearing on H.R. 1797, the "Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act." This bill that would ban abortions based on the extreme pain that the unborn go through during an abortion procedure. But Dr. Anthony didn't just speak in sterile medical terms about abortions. Rather, he told with excruciating detail of how he would perform a D&E abortion, even showing some of the medical instruments during his testimony for emphasis.
   He went step by horrid step in his description, telling of how he would literally pull the baby apart to remove it from the mother's womb, and then how he would put it back together after he was done, like some kind of gory jigsaw puzzle, to make sure he had removed all of the dead child.
   While this may be awful to read, I think it is something that every rational adult needs to hear, especially those who insist that an unborn child is just a "blob of tissue." Levatino added "If you refuse to believe that this procedure inflicts severe pain on that unborn child, please think again." He also addressed the abortion lobby's crocodile tears in regards to late-term abortions to "save the life of the mother," calling it out for the sham that it was.  

Susan B. Anthony quoted in The Revolution, July 1869: "I deplore the horrible crime of child-murder... No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed.  It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh! Thrice guilty is he who...drove her to the desperation which impels her to the crime."
