Planned Parenthood unfazed by tanking economy: Cleared another $1 billion 07-08
UPDATE, 1:05p: Here's another good chart, received from the same friend. PPFA stands for Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Click to enlarge:
UPDATE, 1p: I heard a good proverb yesterday: "If you want more of something, you subsidize; if you want less, you tax."
Here's an example of the former. I received the following chart from a government friend on PP's funding as it correlates to the number of abortions it commits. Click to enlarge...
According to its 06-07 annual report, Planned Parenthood cleared $1 billion in income for the 1st time, $1.018 billion to be exact.
According to its 07-08 annual report, the tanking American economy certainly didn't hurt PP. In fact, PP improved its bottom line to $1.038 billion. PP ended the reporting year with $1.014 billion in assets, up by almost 10%. That's pretty good!
PP got 1/3 of its income from we the taxpayers: $350 million, up from $337 million last year. Click to enlarge:
Abortions were up, too, from 290k last year to 305k this year.
In the next chart we see PP's statistical trickery. PP's report states abortion accounts for only 3% of all its services. But 10% of everyone (including men) who walk into a PP walk out an abortee.
Put another way, as its statistics show, 1 in 4 who get a pregnancy test at PP will abort. It would be interesting to know how many test negative, 1 in 4, 2 in 4? It is possible - likely - that at least half of mothers with positive pregnancy tests at PP abort. Click to enlarge:
LifeNews.com has more insights on PP's latest annual report, as does Life Decisions International.
We have to keep praying and speaking out!! Pam

Has Our Nation Gone That Dark?
Taken from Jill Stanek's blog
April 6, 2009
Here's one I missed last week while on vacation. From the Boston Globe, April 4:
Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge... the Rev. Katherine Hancock Ragsdale will be its new president...
Ragsdale... is best known as an abortion rights activist who has sat on the boards of NARAL... and the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice....She is also openly gay....
Ragsdale... recalled that 3 women, spying her collar, once tried to keep her out of a meeting room for NARAL - even though she was a member of the league's board.
"I've experienced far more resistance and discrimination in the progressive community for being a Christian than I do in the Christian community for being a lesbian," she said....
But conservative bloggers are furiously criticizing the appointment, citing some of Ragsdale's remarks about abortion rights.
Interesting that the Globe didn't post those remarks, from a NARAL speech Ragsdale gave in 2007:
The ability to enjoy God's good gift of sexuality without compromising one's education, life's work, or ability to put to use God's gifts and call is simply blessing.These are the 2 things I want you, please, to remember - abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Let me hear you say it: abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done.
I want to thank all of you who protect this blessing... the health care providers, doctors, nurses, technicians, receptionists, who put your lives on the line to care for others (you are heroes -- in my eyes, you are saints); the escorts and the activists; the lobbyists and the clinic defenders; all of you.
You're engaged in holy work.

Right now, I can feel my stomach churning and my head pounding. Sickness and righteous anger are the two things causing this manifestation in my body. Speaking of manifestations, it is obvious from this article the United States of America is no longer a Nation under God, or a Nation with any common sense for that matter. I really believe, my friends, we are going to experience some real changes soon. People wanted change, well, they are going to get it. But I believe when it does come, it will not be the change they hoped for. It will be something evil that will overtake them, unless they cry out to the Lord. Pray, pray, pray, my prayer warrior friends. Pam

Day 40 and Last day of the Campaign!
368 Babies Saved!
Well fellow prayer warriors, today marks the last day of the Spring Campaign for 40 Days for Life, but not the actual end!! No, I believe it is the beginning. Denise, co-coordinator here in Raleigh, said something different is happening. More people are stepping up and speaking out, God is definitely moving. This is just the beginning. It's funny because obviously, according to society we are outnumbered, but according to God's way of doing things, that is just when He likes to step in! I don't know about you, but it is an exciting time to be on the Lord's side! Let's pray He opens the eyes and hearts of many, especially our President. Let's continue to pray for President Obama, for we are to bless our enemies, and pray for those who persecute us.
I haven't written lately because there has been so much going on in the Pro Life Movement, and it seemed better to pass that information along to keep everyone informed. But with the conclusion of 40 Days for Life I would like to share with you a couple of things the Lord seemed to impress upon my heart:
1) Everything I do is because of my love for the Lord, because He first loved me, and anything I do of any worth or value is from Him.
2) I am not responsible for the results, only my obedience and love for others, and even that comes from Him.
3) It is truly a sheer joy to lay down my life for God and others. No drug, no alcohol, no sexual encounter, no money, no nothing, has ever compared to the joy I have experienced from doing God's will.
4) There is something special brothers and sisters in Christ share when on the front lines of battle, and it is an honor to serve with everyone in this battle.
5) God is beyond any of the most glorious words I could ever say. He is God.
6) I love Him because He first loved me.
If any of you have felt the Lord impress something upon your hearts and would like to share, please do.
We are also starting a Pro Life Ministry at our church, with two of the projects being to pray at the clinic one afternoon a month, and to have a church baby shower for a Crisis Pregnancy Center. Those two things are very simple, but what if we had 30 more churches to participate! It would cover the entire month for prayer at the clinic, and provide plenty of resources for the Crisis Pregnancy Center, which struggles to make ends meet sometimes! Regardless, let's all continue to pray and help in every way we can to protect the sanctity of life that comes from our God and Creator!! I am so thankful, for tomorrow is a new and fresh day, with great plans to be made about the upcoming fall campaign, and getting many more churches involved! So don't slow down prayer warriors, and thanks for everything all of you have done! It has mattered a lot in the Kingdom of God!!
With great love for all of you!!

April 2, 2009 Notre Dame pro-life students want our help for 1st protest planned
Eric Scheidler of Pro-Life Action League sent out this alert yesterday, the first public action being taken by the pro-life Notre Dame student group NDResponse.com, and their first public request for the pro-life community's help. Please attend if you're anywhere close. This debut of pro-life objection to the ND administration's plan to honor Barack Obama at its May 17 commencement must be strong.
Dear Jill,
Ever since word broke that Barack Obama is to give the commencement address at the University of Notre Dame, pro-lifers across the country have been eager to speak out against this scandal.
Notre Dame President Fr. John Jenkins has been flooded with phone calls, e-mails, letters and faxes urging him to rescind the Obama invitation.
NOW comes our first opportunity to publicly demonstrate ON CAMPUS against Barack Obama's appearance there.
Notre Dame Response is hosting a pro-life rally this Sunday, April5 - Palm Sunday - at 2 p.m. at the Dome, after the Noon Mass at the Basilica....
EVENT: Pro-Life Rally at Notre DameWHEN: Sunday, April 5 at 2 p.m.WHERE: Outside the Main BuildingMAP: http://tinyurl.com/NotreDameDome
Pro-life lawyer Harold Cassidy will be the keynote speaker for the rally, which will also include speeches by members of Notre Dame Response, and a Rosary. More details here.
If you live within a few hours drive of South Bend, IN, I encourage you to make the trip for this first public demonstration against the Barack Obama commencement scandal.
Meanwhile, keep your calendar clear for the weekend of May 15-17.Many plans are in the works for what may well be the biggest pro-life protest in a generation.
Yours for Life,
Eric
