PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S WICKEDNESS NEVER ENDS!

Some parents upset over sex booklet in schools

STRONGSVILLE _ An informational booklet that describes the symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases and contains phone numbers for Planned Parenthood and confidential reproductive health services has raised protests after it was placed in students' lockers throughout the district.
City resident Theresa Fleming said her 11-year-old son, a sixth-grader at Kinsner Elementary School, was among those who received a copy of the booklet, Youth Pages, A Guide for Cuyahoga County Teens published by United Way's 211 First Call For Help.
She said the booklet, which also provides information on the need for parental consent for abortion and a Web address for the Lesbian/Gay Community Service Center of Greater Cleveland, is inappropriate for 11-year-olds.
I believe some sex education needs to be given, but when subjects are discussed or material is given to kids of this nature, a notice should be sent home to the parent and they should be allowed to opt out of the program if they wish, Fleming said.
School Superintendent James Gray said he gave an OK for the pocket-sized directories, which were provided to the district by United Way Services in conjunction with the county health department and county commissioners, to be given to students at the high school, middle schools and to sixth graders.
Gray said he received two calls from parents who took exception to the booklet's content.
I understand that and probably, in retrospect, I should have considered sending a letter along with it as far as an explanation, he said, adding, this is a developing situation. I don't know what we are going to do at this point.
Colleen Grady, a city resident and a member of the state school board, said she got calls from four parents concerned about their children getting the directory.
Grady, who is also a former city school board member, said she has not personally seen the publication, but they (parents) read me sections over the telephone.
She said the state board of education may wish to make a legislative recommendation to the Ohio general assembly, and the board could also consider discussion about adoption of a model policy for the distribution of such materials.
Gray said there will be continued discussion, in the district's curriculum and pupil services departments on whether to curtail distribution of materials which are considered to be sensitive, particularly for the younger kids.

Komen Ups Planned Parenthood Funding
By Eve Sánchez Silver

The Aspen [Susan G.] Komen [Breast Cancer] foundation (SGK) one of the largest grant-making organizations in its service area [has designated funds to the] Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, Glenwood Springs Health Center, for clinical breast exams, screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms and ultrasounds to uninsured and underinsured women with a focus on Latina women: $12,887. (Aspen Times, 11/03/05)
In 2003 this writer resigned as a charter member of The National Hispanic Latina Advisory Council of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation upon receiving an article from a colleague which suggested that SGK was funding Planned Parenthood.
She thought it was a lie. It wasn't.
As a two-time breast cancer survivor and charter member of SGK she had quieted her personal convictions to work with a determined freedom, within The National Hispanic/Latina Advisory Council, towards the eradication of breast cancer as a life-threatening disease, and, with the other honorable multi-cultural councils of SGK. She was honored, purposeful and committed to The SGK Foundation.
Upon investigating the allegations that SGK was indeed funding Planned Parenthood through affiliate grants, she resigned from SGK, canceling several speaking engagements around the country and resigning as well from her own beloved council. The Foundation's decision to affirm life with one hand and support its destruction with the other was unacceptable.
The Komen Foundation has boosted its grants by 30% and is using Latina women to funnel funds to Planned Parenthood. Latinas are being sold-out by Planned Parenthood who claims to be using breast services to under-served populations to save lives. This is an egregious lie. Planned Parenthood’s own records show that when Planned Parenthood of North Texas received Komen funding in 2003, ostensibly for “breast services”, abortion services went UP and breast services went DOWN. Money is fungible. Komen naively states that they are providing funds that will have nothing to do with abortion. At Planned Parenthood ? Oh, give us a break! Here is what used to pop into people’s head when they thought of these organizations:
Komen: BREAST CANCER
Planned Parenthood: ABORTION
That’s no longer the case. The organizations have melded into one giant organization abortion-funding machine:
THE KOMEN-PLANNED PARENTHOOD ABORTION MACHINE
Based on their shared ideologies, Komen and Planned Parenthood have generated great synergy with Komen seducing people in, via fund raisers for breast cancer, and consistently raising their funding to Planned Parenthood, who waits in the shadows to hack them up in the background: They race through the country on other people’s sneakers, picking up dollars as they go. Together they have finally been able to put a pepto-pink-pastel-party race-face on Planned Parenthood’s murder machine. Pay no attention to the abortionist behind the screen, “breast cancer services” will draw people in via The Komen Race, and other fund raising events that add to Planned Parenthood coffers. Funds get to Planned Parenthood by using under-served groups as the funnel, breast services as the reason and Planned Parenthood gets a little more chump-change to use so that they are freer to murder people’s children with the now extra money they have in the other pocket of their surgical pants.
Abortion kills the child and later the mother, through breast cancer. Komen-Planned Parenthood denies the Abortion-Breast Cancer link. These are the undeniable physiological facts concerning the breast:
-The breast is the only organ not fully developed at birth
-The breast is NEVER mature until after 32 weeks of pregnancy
-Interruption of a pregnancy before 32 weeks leaves cancer prone lobules exposed to the DNA damaging affects of estrogen, a hormone that causes breast cell proliferation
-50 out of 50 studies show that even ONE abortion places women at high risk of having pre-mature births.
Peer reviewed and dependable studies show these factors to be true, however, those making dollars from abortion victims hide these facts. Smoking and lung cancer information was denied for 50 years so that the tobacco industry could grow rich. The current US trend is to rely on the discredited Melbye and Beral studies (Ethics & Medics, 2004 - abortionbreastcancer.com, 11/04, Angela Lanfranchi, MD; Dr. Joel Brind, Ph. D. http://www.bcpinstitute.org/)
Latinas and other women of color are outraged that The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation supports Planned Parenthood an organization with murder at its heart, and designed from its inception to eliminate people of color, as its founder Margaret Sanger intended.
All women must be alerted to the facts and informed of the increased risk factors in the link between abortion and breast cancer. The ever-escalating affiliate funding funnels from Komen to Planned Parenthood show their ideological solidarity and unity. They have melded into one dangerous unit, and lives are at stake.Let’s call it what it is: KOMEN-PLANNED PARENTHOOD, the murder machine.

SCHIAVO WANTS TO GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS - HE SHOULD BE GEOFFRY FEIGER'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER!
Michael Schiavo endorses Kaine
By BOB LEWIS
AP Political Writer
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Michael Schiavo, who was at the center of a passionate national end-of-life debate when his brain-damaged wife, Terri, died in March, endorsed Democrat Tim Kaine for governor Wednesday.
"I have seen firsthand what can happen when a governor disagrees with a single citizen. In Florida, Gov. Jeb Bush abused the power of his office in an attempt to replace my personal family decisions with his own opinions and political grandstanding," Schiavo wrote a six-paragraph statement distributed by a Democratic political consulting firm in Miami.
Conservatives vilified Schiavo for ordering the removal of the feeding tube that had sustained his wife for 15 years. In the resulting legal and ideological conflict, Congress, Jeb Bush and his brother, President Bush, all sought to have the tube reinserted.
Schiavo based his endorsement on responses from Kaine and Republican Jerry Kilgore during their Oct. 9 televised debate when asked if governors should intervene in disputes within families over discontinuing life support for a loved one.

Kilgore said he is "not going to agree to the forced starvation of any individual if that individual hasn't had a say." He said he would urge people who don't wish to be kept alive artificially to write their instructions in medical directives.
Kaine's response: "I don't think governors should use their PR grandstanding to intervene in these cases." He said such disputes should be settled within the privacy and dignity of juvenile and family courts.
Schiavo, who lives in Florida, wrote that Kilgore "is wrong to follow the example of a governor who did not respect me, my family or the rule of law, and I fear what may happen to unsuspecting Virginians when Mr. Kilgore disagrees with their deeply private family decisions."
Kaine campaign spokesman Mo Elleithee was unaware of Schiavo's letter. "Tim Kaine has never met or talked with Michael Schiavo, but Tim's position on this issue is very clear," he said.
Kilgore's campaign declined to comment.
Derek Newton, manager of the November Group consulting firm that released the statement, said Schiavo was not available for comment Wednesday.
"Michael issued the statement because he is interested in getting more involved in the political process," Newton said.

Editor,
I intend to read your article on Rosa Parks - Devout
Christian. Having read on Wikipedia that she served
on Planned Parenthood's board of directors, it makes
me sad that she was likely duped by their slick,
seductive lies. With 1,300 black babies dying
every day from abortion in America, her faith
should have led her to a better organization with
which to serve.

OH WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY!!
Abortionist Warren Hern got Plastered Today.
That is, his picture was plastered all over Boulder Colorado. Two pro life grannies decided to go for a stroll through Boulder. And what a day it was, the trees displayed their glorious fall attire in 75 degree weather while the streets of Boulder were decorated with late term abortionist Warren Hern’s Picture along with his own quotes.
Warren Hern
indicts himself with
his own statements.
Abortionist Warren Hern
Are these the words of a
respectable caring doctor,
or a man driven by bloodlust?
“We have reached a point in this particular technology
(D&E abortion) where there is no possibility of denial of an
act of destruction by the operator. It is before one’s eyes.
The sensations of dismemberment flow through the
forceps like an electric current.”— Warren Hern’s statement at an
Assoc. of Planned Parenthood Physicians meeting in San Diego — Oct. 26, 1978
“Most physicians regard abortion as a stigmatized
operation done by people who are otherwise incompetent
and can’t do anything else ...If you’re going to do abortions
and make that your specialty the best you can hope for is to be
tolerated by your colleagues...”— American Medical News, Sept. 5, 1994
Abortionist Warren Hern
We pray that God would take the wicked heart of
Warren Hern and turn it towards Himself. We
pray that Jesus would apprehend his heart and
enable Mr. Hern to use the wonderful gifts and
abilities given to him to bring health, healing,
and life, rather than destruction and death.
In Jesus Name!
Reverend Flip Benham
Fliers were posted coming and going in his neighborhood. They were attached to the back of stop signs, taped to poles, added to campaign signs and displayed in store front windows. A short hop in the car and they found themselves at Hern’s own “Boulder abortion clinic." They posted their fliers up and down the entire street, on all the cars. Most fun of all was posting them right outside the abortion mill itself.
In true granny stereotype, they found themselves in need of a restroom, which was found across the street from the mill in the Boulder hospital. There they discovered that lavatory doors were a great place to display their information.
Believe it or not, the grannies weren’t quite finished! They headed to C U Boulder for the free speech area where in the middle of the courtyard stands a pillar, ten feet in diameter, used for posting student notices. Tonight that pillar stands ringed with the "late term abortionist Hern" flier.
Next, their stroll took them to the student union. It seems their imaginations ran wild! Works of art under glass strategically placed in waiting areas now have the Hern flier included under the glass strategically placed in waiting areas. The union was strewn with bulletin boards with plenty of room for their little flier. Free newspaper stands with glass fronts made a great display case for abortionist Hern’s photo. Oh, what fun two little grannies can have on a collage campus.
When they finished their assignment in the student union, finding "where on earth" they had left their car was the next order of the day. It took a while but they did find the car - not before leafleting several parking lots, stop signs, and even a bicycle rack packed with bikes chained to it. It was truly a glorious day in Boulder and Warren Hern was truly plastered.

COLORADO RIGHT TO LIFE CALLS FOR ETHICAL VACCINES
Attendees at the 2005 Colorado Right to Life, State Meeting September 24, 2005
voted unanimously to adopt a resolution opposing the use of fetal tissue in the
production of vaccines and proposing the development of ethical alternatives grown
on cell lines which are not tainted with fetal tissue from aborted babies.
Furthermore, the body calls upon the congress to pass the Fair Labeling and Informed
Consent Act, which was introduced earlier this year by Children of God for Life. (www.cogforlife.org)
Patti Johnson, former State School Board member, wrote and carried the
resolution to the organization’s annual State Meeting, at which new board members
were elected and the vision for 2006 was charted.
CRLC President, Diane Hochevar noted, “Our organization believes that all human
life is precious and should be equally protected under the law from fertilization to natural
death. “We commend Patti Johnson for raising this important topic, about which many
citizens are unaware.”
Most parents have no idea that their children’s vaccines contain DNA from
an aborted human baby. “We intend to embark upon an education campaign to help
families understand the ethical and medical implications of this hidden issue,”
states CRLC Vice President, Leslie Hanks.
Unlike Merck, who obtained their rubella virus from an aborted baby, Japanese scientists simply swabbed the throat of an infected child. “Why American pharmaceutical companies have not pursued a similar ethical avenue, remains a mystery,” said the resolution’s sponsor, Patti Johnson.

Speakout: Breast cancer-abortion link slighted
By Leslie Hanks, Special to the News
September 23, 2005
As the leaves begin to turn gold each fall, cities begin to turn pink.
Everywhere one looks one finds pink ads, pink attire, pink hats, pink tennis shoes, pink teas - yes The Republic of Tea makes a Sip for the Cure. The Race for the Cure (for breast cancer) has become the cause celebre for the nation.
A perusal of a recent O, The Oprah Magazine found 14 pages of ads for the politically correct event. The Susan G. Komen Foundation is proclaimed on radio commercials, seen in huge displays in shopping malls and their pink ribbons decorate buildings all over town. Has there ever before been a more comprehensive marketing campaign? On Oct. 2, Denver's Clear Channel radio stations, 9News and Safeway will sponsor this year's Race for the Cure to raise funds for a cure for breast cancer.
The participating women are highly motivated to find a cure for the dread disease, and who can blame them? In the recent past, however, a growing body of evidence has been amassed linking breast cancer and the most avoidable risk factor for it: abortion. One can study the statistics and come to one's own conclusions, but the data found on www.abortionbreastcancer.com is pretty persuasive.
The Susan G. Komen Foundation lost a founding member of its National Hispanic Latina Advisory Council, Eve Sanchez Silver, because of her concern about the foundation giving funds to Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the nation. Sanchez Silver asking, "Why aren't women being told?" Her concerns can be found at www.pinkmoney.org.
As early as 1986, government scientists wrote a letter to the British medical journal The Lancet acknowledging that abortion is a cause of breast cancer. They wrote, "Induced abortion before first term pregnancy increases the risk of breast cancer" (The Lancet, Feb. 22, 1986).
Aborting one's first pregnancy - when the breast's cells are changing from nonmilk-producing to those able to sustain life - apparently leaves the cells in a vulnerable state to toxins, leading to a serious increase in one's risk for developing breast cancer later in life.
As the abortion-breast cancer link's strongest proponent, Joel Brind, Ph.D., explains, "So full-term pregnancy is protective; it lowers breast cancer risk. But if that pregnancy is cut off artificially somewhere in the middle after some weeks or months, [a woman] has far more cells in her breasts that are capable of proliferation, and that have proliferated, than she did at the beginning of the pregnancy, which translates statistically into a higher chance of getting breast cancer later in life."
Why does giving grants to Planned Parenthood, the organization that may be most responsible for the dire increase in breast cancer rates since Roe v. Wade, make any sense? Why do the mainstream media insist on a media blackout about the most relevant topic to women's health today? Why do editors routinely ignore the queries begging them to reveal the truth? Do they believe women can't handle the truth?
Leslie Hanks is the vice president of Colorado Right to Life. She is a resident of Watkins.

Do they believe women can't handle the truth?

PASTOR ENYART REPORTS:
Pro-life activists met with one of Colorado’s Deputy Attorney Generals, Jason Dunn, and prosecutor Jeanne Smith to inform them of abortion industry violations state-wide of the mandatory reporting law for suspicion of sexual activity with underage children. Colorado’s law does not empower the Attorney General’s office to investigate or prosecute local crimes. However, Colorado Right to Life vice president Leslie Hanks, sidewalk counselor Jo Scott, and Denver Bible Church pastor Bob Enyart argued that this matter rose to the level of the Attorney General’s office because of its multi-jurisdictional nature. Also, the pro-lifers asked Dunn to recommend that Attorney General John Suthers use the lawful authority he does possess to issue a statement to make statewide local law enforcement aware that, because of apparent violations of mandatory reporting, abortion clinics are systematically aiding those who commit incest and rape against children in the cover-up of these crimes.
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, and the National Abortion Federation, operate facilities across the state, from Ft. Collins, through Denver and Colorado Springs, to Durango. Longtime prosecutor Smith was familiar with the frequent prosecutions throughout Colorado of sexual predators for crimes against minors, but could not recall any examples of cases arising from abortion clinics complying with Colorado’s mandatory reporting law. Smith, and Deputy Attorney General Dunn, stated that in preparation for this meeting they had discussed the possibility of multi-jurisdictional issues. The pro-lifers played recorded phone-call evidence, obtained by Life Dynamics of Denton Texas, of Colorado abortion clinics telling a woman posing as a 13-year-old to forget that you told us the 22-year-old age of the man who had impregnated her. Both lawyers indicated that such information seemed insufficient to prompt the AG to investigate. Enyart indicated the statistical evidence, since studies show that 60% to 80% of young teens impregnated have been violated by adults, and many of those children are brought to abortion clinics, and yet Colorado’s law requiring reporting from such workers who “suspect” is utterly ignored. The officials asked if the pro-lifers had direct evidence that any abortion organization had centralized training procedures or policies specifically designed to evade the mandatory reporting law, which the pro-lifers did not. Leslie Hanks then said, “These are children’s lives that are being ruined. This seems so wrong, that you are telling us that, as citizens, Colorado’s Attorney General’s office cannot look into the evidence, and that we, as citizens, are the ones who would have to investigate.”
Aside from informing these officials of this concern, the September 16, 2005 meeting yielded three action items. The Deputy AG agreed to raise the matter with Suthers of the AG issuing a statement to law enforcement; the Deputy agreed to inform the pro-lifers of the outcome of that request; and it was agreed that both parties would gather further information and meet again, possibly next month.
This report should not be understood to imply that abortion clinics would be less condemnable if they reported rather than systematically ignored their suspicion of child rape. Abortion clinics murder unborn children. And abortion is always wrong. In this instance, our love and concern for violated young teenagers who get brought to an abortion clinic, often by the very adult who raped them, parallels our effort to save the life of each and every unborn child, and to expose the wickedness of the abortion industry.

Racing Against Hope – Why aren’t Women being told the truth?
As the leaves begin to turn gold, each fall cities begin to turn pink. Not exactly complimentary colors. Pink suggests spring, renewal and growth.
Everywhere one looks one finds pink ads, pink attire, pink hats, pink tennis shoes, pink teas – yes The Republic of Tea makes a Sip for the Cure. The Race for the Cure has become the cause celebre for the nation. A recent perusal through an Oprah Magazine found fourteen pages of ads for the politically correct event. The Susan G. Komen Foundation is proclaimed on radio commercials, seen in huge displays in shopping malls and their pink ribbons decorate buildings all over town. Has there ever before been a more comprehensive marketing campaign?
On October 2, 2005, Denver, Colorado’s Clear Channel radio, 9 News and Safeway will sponsor this year’s Race for the Cure to raise funds for a cure for breast cancer.
The participating women are highly motivated to find a cure for the dread disease, who can blame them?
In the recent past, however, a growing body of evidence has been amassed, linking breast cancer and the most avoidable risk factor for it: abortion. One
can study the statistics and come to one’s own conclusions, but the data found on www.abortionbreastcancer.com is pretty convincing.
The Susan G. Komen Foundation lost a board member, Eve Sanchez Silver, because of her concern over the foundation giving funds to Planned Parenthood, the largest
provider of abortion in the nation. Not only is Eve asking, “Why aren’t women being told?” she also wants to know why Planned Parenthood targets people of color with its
policies. Her concerns can be found at www.pinkmoney.org.
Asking tough questions doesn’t bother Eve. What bothers her is the silence in the U.S. media. Taking her cause to Australia has revived fresh interest for her message, where it
hit a brick wall in her own nation.
When the truth begins to seep out of the bulwark standing against it, the racer’s anger will begin to simmer. They will demand to know why some pretty important information
was withheld from them.
As early as 1986, government scientists wrote a letter to the British Journal Lancet acknowledging that abortion is a cause of breast cancer. They wrote, “Induced abortion
before first term pregnancy increases the risk of breast cancer,” Lancet 2/22/86 p.436.
Aborting one’s first pregnancy - when the breast’s cells are changing from non-milk producing to those able to sustain life – apparently leaves the cells in a vulnerable state to
toxins, leading to a serious increase of one’s risk for developing breast cancer later in life.
As the ABC link’s strongest proponent, Joel Brind PhD explains, “So full term pregnancy is protective; it lowers breast cancer risk. But if that pregnancy is cut off artificially somewhere in the middle after some weeks or months, she has far more cells in her breasts that are capable of proliferation, and that have proliferated, than she did at the beginning of the pregnancy, which translates statistically into a higher chance of getting breast cancer later in life.”
Why does giving grants to the organization which may be most responsible for the dire increase in breast cancer rates since Roe v Wade make any sense? Why does
mainstream media insist on a media blackout about the most relevant topic to women’s health today? Why do editors routinely ignore the queries begging them to reveal the truth?
Do they believe women can’t handle the truth?
Absent that, all the pink attire, buttons, and tennis shoes in the country won’t restore health while one of the main causes of disease is denied.
All the running and racing for a cure will never happen as long as women go against nature, destroy their progeny and the beautiful functions for which their bodies were incredibly designed.
Keep the color pink for the time when women rediscover, with perfect joy, their majestic endowment as life givers.
Until that day is embraced and renewed, the colors of October shall remain naturally those of falling leaves.

'March of the Penguins' vs. March for Women's Lives
By Jill Stanek
© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
Last week, my 5-year-old grandson and I went to see the movie, "March of the Penguins."
MOTP is a documentary that tells of the incredible sacrifices emperor penguins make to reproduce, protect their eggs, and safeguard their babies' lives in the harshest conditions on earth.
In light of the pro-life issue, I watch animal documentaries and dramas with mixed emotions. On one hand, there are usually a couple of scenes about pregnancy or giving birth corroborating that, yes, on a gut level, people do recognize the sanctity of life.
For instance, an early scene of "Finding Nemo" shows Nemo's desperate father, whose wife and incubating eggs have just been devoured by a predator, spotting Nemo, his lone surviving embryonic progeny, in a see-through egg. Instantly his despair turns to joy. He certainly does not consider his preborn son a blob of tissue.
On the other hand, scenes like this magnify the depravity of people who condone abortion, and I am refilled with angst.
MOTP hit me harder than most. Almost every scene and narrative verified the beauty of life and the rightness of protecting it.
Every March, as the Antarctic summer ends, scattered tribes of emperor penguins travel up to 70 miles to an ancient inland breeding ground, chosen instinctively because this is where ice is the thickest and will remain solid until the following summer, so the young won't fall through it. Upon arrival, penguins find mates with whom they are monogamous for a yearlong breeding cycle.
In early June, females lay one egg, and, as pro-abort actor Morgan Freeman narrated, "From now on the couple has but a single goal – keeping the egg alive ... The tiny beating heart within the shell cannot survive more than a moment in the freezing air."
(Mr. Freeman, do you ever contemplate what you read?)
By now, parents have gone without food for two months, and mom has lost 1/3 of her body weight. In a chivalrous role reversal, dads assume responsibility for their eggs for an incredible two additional months, so moms can trek 70 miles back to the sea for food and to regain strength to care for their hatchlings.
Sometimes when mom transfers the egg to dad, it cracks. In that case, narrated Freeman, "The couple can only watch as the ice claims their egg and the life within it."
Throughout the harshest winter in the world, when there is no sunlight, temperatures drop to -80 degrees, and winds blow 100 miles per hour, fathers huddle together to protect their eggs, nestled atop gentle, clawed feet and underneath a fold of warm, feathered skin.
Mothers instinctively return when hatchlings are a couple of days old. Most of them return, anyway. Seals have killed a few. "With a snap of its jaw," said Freeman, "the seal actually takes two lives – one of the mother and one of her unborn chick, who will never be fed."
Mothers assume care of the chicks so fathers can trod 70 miles to the sea to eat. For the next several months the two will take turns caring for their baby and shuttling back and forth to the ocean, until their baby is old enough to fend for itself.
As I watched MOTP, I wondered how people could ooh and aww when baby penguins pecked out of their shells, or cover their eyes when a giant petrel attacked a baby penguin, yet not give a thought to the dismemberment and killing of human babies.
I wondered, what would it take for people to connect? I juxtaposed the willingness of penguins to freeze and starve to death for their babies to the unwillingness of humans to forfeit any indulgence whatsoever for their babies.
I remembered last year's March for Women's Lives in Washington, D.C., when pro-aborts gathered to bolster their right to kill babies.
I thought, maybe a penguin movie analogy would help people understand.
The movie would open with militant feminist penguins marching to their ancient political breeding ground, where lusting, self-centered males waited. There they would all serial-mate, despising the prospect of producing babies. Should the unthinkable happen, close-ups would show frenzied penguins pecking open eggs and ripping babies apart, or inserting little hoses into the eggs to suction babies out. Fathers would abandon mothers who changed their minds and wanted to keep their eggs to fend for themselves.
But a movie like that won't ever be made, because it would expose anti-lifers as demented.
Still, I sometimes wish humans would behave more like animals.
Jill Stanek fought to stop "live-birth abortion" after witnessing one as a registered nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill. In 2002, President Bush asked Jill to attend his signing of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. In January 2003, World Magazine named Jill one of the 30 most prominent pro-life leaders of the past 30 years. To learn more, visit Jill's blog, Pro-life Pulse.

Dear Pro-lifers,
Louisiana and Mississippi pregnancy resource centers are in desperate need of our help. Four New Orleans area pregnancy resource centers were destroyed by Katrina, and it t is unclear how incapacitated the Mississippi PRCs are, because no one has been able to get through to any of their directors.
That's the bad news. The good news is that five of eight Louisiana abortion clinics were also destroyed.
The PRCs in Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and other outer Louisiana areas have been inundated by families needing diapers and formula. Area hospitals are also asking the centers to recover post-partum patients.
The formula companies say they have sent huge shipments to the area, but they're not getting to the PRCs.
I spoke with three PRC directors in Louisiana yesterday, and they gave me a list of their greatest needs. We are going to collect donations in the Chicago area over the weekend at Parkview Christian Church (11100 Orland Parkway, Orland Park, Illinois 60467), and a semi is going to deliver them to Louisiana on Monday (September 12).
Here are the needs, in order of urgency:
1. Formula: Advanced Similac with iron; Enfamil with iron; any other formulas - dry, condensed, or ready to serve
2. Diapers, especially newborn
3. Infant car seats
4. Pedialyte
5. Bassinets
6. Baby wipes
More than that, the PRCs desperately need money. They need to finance mobile medical units to go into the devastated areas as they are accessible. A director told me that there is lots of giving going on to churches and relief agencies, but the PRCs are being overlooked.
We also need money to pay for the semi truck gas. (The truck and driver's time are being donated.) Donations for gas can be made to Concerned Women for America of IL, P. O. Box 188, Palos Heights, IL 60463.
There is also a need for volunteers to go to Louisiana and stay for a week or two or longer, particularly men for protection. A nurse at the Shreveport PRC says she will help find housing.
Donate directly online to: www.ctlm.org. These funds will go to finance mobile medical units and restoring pregnancy care centers.
Please distribute this alert widely.
Thank you very much,
Jill Stanek
