A matter of life and death

It is a case that literally involves life and death. We're talking about the promised execution of a Christian pastor in Iran. His only crime: He embraced Christianity and, for that, has been sentenced to death by the Muslim-controlled government of Iran. Join the ACLJ's aggressive international effort to save his life. I just signed the Petition to Secretary of State Clinton - Call on Iran to save Christian pastor. Please sign with me today. http://aclj.us/mc9d

URGENTLY REQUESTING PRAYERS

A friend of mine posted this prayer request on facebook regarding an important hearing in the Illinois Supreme Court. The person said:

"I'm in Germany and Austria right now encouraging the activist movement there and things are going great. I can't wait to tell you all about it when I return later this week, but right now I have an urgent request: Please pray TODAY for the Illinois Supreme Court. Tomorrow morning the court is hearing oral arguments in a case called Sandholm v. Kuecker which is closely tied to OUR case, Scheidler v Trombley. Sandholm involves the same "Citizens Participation Act" (CPA) that Planned Parenthood turned UPSIDE-DOWN in my case. Planned Parenthood convinced my judge that the CPA gives them a legal "License to Lie" which *I* have to pay for. They're demanding $494,405 from me and the League! But if the Court rules the right way in Sandholm, Planned Parenthood LOSES their License to Lie, and that outrageous fee demand becomes a DEAD LETTER. And THAT will open the door I've been banging on for 4 years: to hold Planned Parenthood accountable for their vicious smear campaign against me and the League and ALL of us pro-lifers. So PLEASE keep the Sandholm case in your prayers. The hearing is tomorrow and a ruling should come early next year. Please also forward this prayer request to ALL your pro-life friends. All of us have a stake in halting Planned Parenthood's attacks on us. With the Lord on our side and the faithful prayers of so many great pro-lifers like you, I know that justice will be done.

What You Dont Know About Flavor Enhancers Can Harm You

The FDA, which is supposed to be looking out for consumers, doesn't require testing for this:

"Senomyx boasts that they have "discovered or in-licensed many of the key receptors that mediate taste in humans." But what they don't state so plainly is that they used human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 293) taken from an electively aborted fetus in their product testing."

Beatings Jeopardize Health of Chinese Forced Abortion Opponent

“Without showing any legal documents and without any of them wearing a uniform, they plundered almost everything from my home. My husband and I were wounded severely, yet not allowed to leave home for any medical aid,” Yuan explained. “More than 10 men covered me totally with a blanket and kicked my ribs and all over my body. After half an hour’s non-stop torture, I finally squeezed my head out of the blanket. I saw more than 10 men surrounded Chen Guangcheng, torturing him.”

Obama Cuts Women’s Health Care, Funds Planned Parenthood

“Coating its ideology in flowery language about women’s health and alleged Republican mean-spiritedness, liberal Democrats refused to cut one dime out of Planned Parenthood’s plump federal purse during the budget debate,” APP president Frank Cannon said. “All the while a sharp knife was being taken to community health centers that actually perform full-scale exams for the needy. These health centers offer prenatal care to women and their babies – 480,000 times in 2009 alone. Planned Parenthood? Their 850 clinics average less than one prenatal visit a month, in other words, it’s not their line of work.”

Tell the Senate to Cut Federal Funding to Planned Parenthood

From Americans United for Life (AUL):

Dear Friend of Life,

Join us in our efforts to de-fund Planned Parenthood: Call your Senator’s state office today while the Senate is in recess.

Your call is vital to inform your Senator that you refuse to be forced to support the largest abortion provider in the country—Planned Parenthood—with your tax dollars. Your Senator can make a difference and help to stop funding the nation’s largest abortion provider.

With your help, we will let the Senate hear the voters’ voices, loud and clear, telling them to oppose funding the nation’s largest abortion provider with our hard earned tax dollars. Your voice can make a difference. Over 70 percent of Americans oppose using tax dollars to fund abortions.

Make your voice heard.

Call and urge your Senator to vote to stop the

millions of dollars the Federal Government currently gives to Planned Parenthood each year.

Talking Points:

■ More than 70 percent of Americans—both pro-life and pro-abortion—agree that our tax dollars should not be used to subsidize the abortion industry, particularly the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.

■ As Congress continues to negotiate the Fiscal Year 2011 budget and to make further cuts to government spending, a priority must be to zero out permanently taxpayer funding of the nation’s largest abortion provider: Planned Parenthood and its affiliates.

■ Particularly in this time of economic uncertainty, the Government ought to spend its time and our money funding things that matter to the American people. We should not be compelled to watch our tax dollars spent on abortion and funding corrupt organizations like Planned Parenthood, which consistently demonstrates a blatant disregard for women’s health and the law.

■ I urge you to stand with the majority of Americans and ensure that we are no longer forced to fund the nation’s largest abortion provider with our tax dollars.

Urge your Representatives to defund Planned Parenthood of our tax dollars in the Continuing Resolution.

If you can, please call your Representative’s district office and urge them to to defund Planned Parenthood of our tax dollars in the Continuing Resolution. Just click on this link and type in your Zip Code and it will take you right to the phone number of district office nearest to you with some "talking points" provided. http://www.capwiz.com/sbalist/callalert/index.tt?alertid=36347501&type=CO

Also you might want to watch the video on that page of Lila Rose. It only lasts 1 min and 51 seconds.

Members of the Expose Planned Parenthood Coalition are asking their activists to call on a specific day this week. The goal is to ensure that phones in district offices are ringing off the hook all of this week while Representatives are back in their districts. Susan B. Anthony List activists will kick off the effort by calling Representative’s district offices TODAY, MARCH 21st.

But any other day this week would be good too if you can't call today.

Sunday, March 20, 2011

Call your Rep's district office. Urge them to defund Planned Parenthood of our tax dollars in the Continuing Resolution.

This is from Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony List. She said:

'Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters that defunding Planned Parenthood in the Continuing Resolution “won’t be part of an agreement.”

Meanwhile, our pro-life leaders in the House are digging in their heels, insisting that Planned Parenthood be defunded in the next Continuing Resolution bill. Rep. Mike Pence put it best when he said “it’s time to pick a fight.”

With the current temporary Continuing Resolution set to expire on April 8th, the next three weeks are the most critical ever in this fight. Congress is anxious to pass a long-term Continuing Resolution bill to fund the government through the end of the fiscal year instead of passing more short-term Continuing Resolutions.

That means we have just three weeks to show Congress we will accept nothing less than the complete defunding of Planned Parenthood of our tax dollars. We must ensure that our pro-life majority in the House stays strong and forces Harry Reid and his pro-abortion allies in the Senate to cut funding for Planned Parenthood. We have to make sure our pro-life allies in the House don’t blink when we need them most.

While we have momentum, the Expose Planned Parenthood coalition is working together to turn up the heat even more — especially this week, March 20st through March 27th, as the House is on recess, which means Representatives are headed back home to their respective Congressional districts.

Members of the Expose Planned Parenthood Coalition are asking their activists to call on a specific day this week. The goal is to ensure that phones in district offices are ringing off the hook all of this week while Representatives are back in their districts. Susan B. Anthony List activists will kick off the effort by calling Representative’s district offices TODAY, MARCH 21st.'

If you can, please call your Representative’s district office and urge them to to defund Planned Parenthood of our tax dollars in the Continuing Resolution.

The Planned Parenthood Racism Project: Abortions earmarked by race. An investigation of Planned Parenthood’s money

"The Advocate investigated the financial dealings of Planned Parenthood and made some shocking discoveries about the clinic-owning "nonprofit." We obtained the information by having an actor call clinics across the country and pose as a donor. The actor who called, The Advocate’s advisor, communicated to them a very racist agenda—the one that Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood’s founder, had envisioned. He then asked to donate money specifically for the abortions of African-American babies in order to "lower the number of blacks in America."

Despite his bigoted requests, no Planned Parenthood employee (or director of development, in one case) declined the tainted money."

Read more and see the videos with audio recordings of planned parenthood reps agreeing to take money specifically requested to be used for aborting black babies.

Silent No More Awareness Campaign

This is from Thursday, February 24, 2011, but it is still important. Please take a look at this page and call your United States Senators and ask them to vote to de-fund Planned Parenthood as the House did a few weeks ago. Perhaps mention the quotes provided on the following page to help highlight the kinds of terrible things going on, which show that not only are the innocent unborn being killed in the womb, but women themselves are being harmed.

At www.SilentNoMoreAwareness.org/plannedparenthood, members of the Campaign are sharing their painful experiences, providing more firsthand evidence that Planned Parenthood does not serve the needs of women and has no respect for the law.

For instance, Sherry Coleman Wright states,

“I was 17 years old - the lady at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Council Bluffs, Iowa told me I could go to Women's Services clinic in Omaha, Nebraska, to get the procedure. My boyfriend at the time was 23 or 24 and I was told not to mention that or he would get into trouble. I don't feel like they really had my best interest in mind. From what I understand, they still give young girls the same advice. I was devastated by that abortion and my life spiraled downward.”

Christy Annison tells us,

“I had a botched abortion in Atlanta's Planned Parenthood abortion clinic. The doctor left the dead fetus inside and I needed immediate medical attention. For the health of women, please defund Planned Parenthood.”

•WHAT: Defunding Planned Parenthood webcast
•DATE: Tuesday, March 1
•TIME: 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific)
•REGISTER: At the bottom of this page!
This is a critical moment in the pro-life battle to defund America's largest abortion provider -- Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards and her cronies are scared. The abortion business just sent out a fundraising e-mail stating: "The next 10 days will decide the future of Planned Parenthood."

And you know what? They are absolutely right!

These next few days are CRITICAL in the fight to defund Planned Parenthood of OUR tax dollars.

The bold stand made by the House of Representatives to defund Planned Parenthood in the Continuing Resolution bill was the first step towards ending the flow of our tax dollars to the abortion giant's coffers forever.

Now, with so much riding on the next steps in Congress over these coming days, the SBA List is launching a massive, unrelenting national grassroots campaign to defund Planned Parenthood -- for once and for all.

You are invited to join SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser, former Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave, and pro-life rock star Congresswoman Michele Bachmann on a LIVE nationwide webcast this coming Tuesday, March 1 at 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific).

On the webcast, you'll hear the latest breaking news from our nation’s capital on the efforts to strip Planned Parenthood of its $360+ million in taxpayer funding ... and you'll learn how YOU can help achieve victory in this vital effort!

Planned Parenthood knows that a showdown is coming. They're putting pressure on their allies -- and lashing out at pro-life Representatives in the House for voting to defund them. Planned Parenthood is even calling in all their favors from their Hollywood supporters and the radically pro-abortion MoveOn.org.

That is why we must launch a national grassroots campaign NOW -- to ensure the final Continuing Resolution defunds Planned Parenthood of every single federal tax dollar it receives.

Register below for the nationwide webcast on Tuesday, March 1 at 9 PM Eastern (8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific).

The stakes couldn't be higher! Every single minute of the day Planned Parenthood is destroying innocent human lives and wounding others.

Planned Parenthood is not a friend to women and girls, but rather an unapologetic ally of the human trafficking industry. And they are doing it with our tax dollars!

It's absolutely FREE to attend Tuesday night’s webcast; however, there are limited spaces available for the live event, so make sure to register NOW by entering your name and primary e-mail address below.

REGISTER NOW AT http://www.sba-list.org/webcast

URGENT! House vote TODAY on abortion funding

This message is from David Bereit, National Director 40 Days for Life. The vote has not taken place yet, so please take a few moments to respond to this important message.

Congress will vote THIS AFTERNOON on measures that
would prevent government funding for the nation's
largest abortion chain -- Planned Parenthood, an
organization that raked in over $360,000,000 in
taxpayer dollars last year.

It's absolutely vital that you call your Member of
Congress RIGHT NOW and tell them how you feel about
removing ALL taxpayer funding from Planned Parenthood
and other abortion providers!

Call the US Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and
ask to be connected to your Representative's office.

If you don't know who that is, go here to find the
name by submitting your zip code:

https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml

In some cases you'll need to know your 9-digit zip.
Find that here:

http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp

As you know, Planned Parenthood has been in the news
lately for its institution-wide scandal of aiding and
abetting human trafficking of girls as young as 14.

Additionally the abortion chain has now ordered ALL
of its affiliates to start performing abortions --
or leave the Planned Parenthood umbrella.

On Monday, you and I -- and thousands of other people
of faith and conscience -- held prayer vigils outside
more than 200 Planned Parenthood offices to raise
awareness about how this organization is dangerous
for women and girls.

See photos, videos, news stories and more from vigils
around the country at:

http://www.ExposePlannedParenthood.com/vigil

At the same time we were praying on Monday, Planned
Parenthood's national president, Cecile Richards,
sent a massive e-mail blast to abortion advocates
across the nation with the subject line:

"The worst attack -- ever"

The message screamed: "URGENT! They want to shut down
every Planned Parenthood" and called our efforts the
most "dangerous assault" on their abortion business
in its entire history.

Richards begged abortion proponents to immediately
call Congress and demand a "NO" vote on any measure
to strip the abortion chain's taxpayer funding.

And word is that the abortion crowd is ringing phones
off the hook on Capitol Hill.

It is VITAL that you let Congress know how you feel
about de-funding Planned Parenthood!!

This could be a pivotal moment in our efforts to end
abortion in America!

For Life,

David Bereit
National Director
40 Days for Life

P.S.- Please forward this important message to your
friends and ask them to call as well - time is short!

Take Action: Vigil for Victims

This message is from David Bereit, National Director of the 40 Days for Life Campaign. Please forward this email to your friends, family, and members of your church and invite them to participate in a Vigil for Victims on Monday, February 14th.

*************************************************************

Dear Friends,

This is our moment to make a PROFOUND difference!

Are you sick and tired of Planned Parenthood getting $363 MILLION of taxpayer funding a year -- while aiding and abetting illegal underage sex trafficking?
Then let's take a public stand Monday to tell Congress: "NO MORE TAX $ for Planned Parenthood!"

This Monday, February 14, 40 Days for Life is helping to coordinate "Vigils for Victims" that will be held outside Planned Parenthood offices coast-to-coast from Noon to 1 PM in each U.S. Time Zone ...
... and YOU can make an impact in one hour!

Find out how at:
http://www.ExposePlannedParenthood.com/vigil

Here's what going on ...

For the last two weeks, the national media has been abuzz with the shocking story of the undercover sting operation that caught abortion giant Planned Parenthood red-handed in the despicable act of aiding and abetting sex trafficking and prostitution of girls as young as 14.

Numerous undercover videos have now been released, documenting Planned Parenthood workers at multiple locations across several states assuring an undercover investigator posing as a pimp that the organization would secretly provide abortions and other services to underage victims of human trafficking, facilitating their exploitation.

Federal law is clear: "Sex trafficking of minors is a federal crime and punishable by imprisonment for 10 years to life." (18 U.S. Code 1591) Additionally, "any person who aids abets, or counsels a federal crime to be committed may be punished as if they had committed the crime themselves." (18 U.S. Code 2)

The institution-wide scandal has now reached the highest levels at Planned Parenthood, with top executives making the appalling claim that their workers who were caught on video facilitating underage sex slavery "responded professionally."
After receiving a record $363 MILLION in taxpayer funds last year, Planned
Parenthood's president Cecile Richards then had the audacity to send out an urgent appeal for abortion advocates to contact Congress -- so the organization can rake in even MORE of your hard-earned tax dollars!

And if that wasn't enough, now Planned Parenthood is attempting to hijack Valentine's Day as a marketing gimmick to expand its harmful agenda, shove condoms into the hands of young children, and lure even more vulnerable victims into its facilities.

*** ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! ***

It is vital for us to act swiftly and take a public stand against Planned Parenthood's harmful agenda -- raising awareness in the communities where we live, and calling upon Congress to IMMEDIATELY strip the abortion chain of all tax funding.
This Monday, February 14, you can help make that happen by holding a one-hour "Vigil for Victims" during the Noon hour in the public right-of-way outside the Planned Parenthood office nearest to you.

This requires rapid action on all our parts, but will show Planned Parenthood -- and the media -- the power of pro-life America to bring about vital change!
No experience is required! Find out exactly what to do by visiting:
http://www.ExposePlannedParenthood.com/vigil

Together, we really can make a difference! Let's act quickly to make sure Planned Parenthood is held fully accountable for its willingness to aid and abet underage sex trafficking, and let's tell Congress that the time has come to DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD!

For Life,
David Bereit
National Director
40 Days for Life

P.S.- I will personally be standing vigil outside the Planned Parenthood at 1108 16th Street NW, in Washington, DC from noon to 1 PM, and Shawn Carney will be outside the Planned Parenthood at 201 N. Hamilton Street in Richmond, VA. If you're nearby, come join us -- or do the same where you live!

Flood Congress with phone calls for National Pro-Life Lobby Day to Defund Planned Parenthood.

Hi all,

Please take a few moments to read this email from Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony List, and call your Representatives TODAY.

Dear George,

Today is the day!

I need you to help me flood Congress with phone calls for National Pro-Life Lobby Day to Defund Planned Parenthood.

Please take two minutes right now to call your Representative and ask them to support the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act to stop the flow of our tax dollars to Planned Parenthood. This link will take you to the site where you can easily find your Representative's number: http://www.exposeplannedparenthood.com/call-congress

Calling Tip: Most Congressional offices are open from 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern. Please call during this time frame. If you can’t, just leave a voicemail.

George, Planned Parenthood is running scared after pro-life activist Lila Rose and her group Live Action released six videos in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York showing Planned Parenthood employees aiding and abetting the sexual exploitation of girls as young as just 13 years old.

Now is the time to defund Planned Parenthood. From 2008 to 2009 alone, they received $363 million tax dollars – hard-earned money straight from our pockets to theirs. During that same time period, they destroyed the lives of 324,008 babies.

Enough is Enough.

Please help flood Congress with calls today by calling your Representative right now. Ask him or her to support Rep. Mike Pence’s Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act to defund Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers of Title X funding.
This link will take you to the site where you can easily find your Representative's number: http://www.exposeplannedparenthood.com/call-congress

While you and members of the SBA List team from across the country – and other members of the Exposed Planned Parenthood coalition – are calling Congressional offices, your SBA List is co-hosting a press conference this morning with pro-life Congressional leaders to amplify the call to defund Planned Parenthood of our tax dollars. Many of the pro-life leaders you helped us elect this past November will be speaking out.

And earlier this week, Congressional hearings were held on the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act” and the “Protect Life Act” – key pieces of legislation we’re pushing along with the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act to ensure that not one dime of our tax dollars goes toward the destruction of human life.

Abortion is the center issue this week in Washington, George, and we must capitalize on this opportunity.

Don’t wait another minute to call your Member of Congress. Click here to use the Expose Planned Parenthood Action Center to find your Representative’s phone number and use our helpful talking points to communicate your pro-life message.

This link will take you to the site where you can easily find your Representative's number: http://www.exposeplannedparenthood.com/call-congress

Finally, George, please help spread the word about National Pro-Life Lobby Day to Defund Planned Parenthood. Forward this e-mail and help promote www.ExposePlannedParenthood.com to at least 5 or 10 friends, family, neighbors, or people who attend your Church.

This is the best opportunity we’ve ever had to defund Planned Parenthood, George. Answer the call by calling your Representative today!

For Life,
Marjorie Dannenfelser
President, Susan B. Anthony List
www.sba-list.org

P.S. While it’s true that Planned Parenthood is vulnerable right now, they also have very deep pockets – and very powerful friends. The pro-abortion MoveOn.org, has already launched a massive grassroots campaign to defend Planned Parenthood and rally pro-abortion activists.

In fact, MoveOn.org is mobilizing their 5.2 MILLION members this week to ensure taxpayer dollars keep flowing to Planned Parenthood. That’s why I need you to call right now, George. Don’t wait another minute to call your Member of Congress. Click here to use the Action Center to find your Representative’s phone number and use our helpful talking points to communicate your pro-life message.

Expose Planned Parenthood - Action Alert

This information is from the Susan B. Anthony List. Please take a few minutes to read this important post and follow the link to call your Member of Congress and ask him or her to support H.R. 217 the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act that ensures abortion providers do not received federal funds under the Title X federal family planning assistance program.

From the SBA List:

The vast majority of Americans agree that they do not want their tax dollars funding abortion, yet the abortion industry receives hundreds of millions of government funds every year.

Planned Parenthood, one of the -- organizations that receives millions in federal funds every year, has a long history of exploiting women. These exploitations were most recently revealed in videos showing clinic workers aiding and abetting sex trafficking of minors.

We must make sure that Planned Parenthood no longer receives our hard earned tax dollars.

Call your Member of Congress and ask him or her to support H.R. 217 the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act that ensures abortion providers do not received federal funds under the Title X federal family planning assistance program.

Even if your Representative is already a co-sponsor, it is still important to call and ask them to push for a vote on the House floor.

93% of women regretted aborting their pregnancy conceived in rape

The Elliot Institute’s, Amy Sobie, joined Brad to dispel some misconceptions about rape and abortion. After a variety of research was conducted on post-abortive women who had also been raped, 93% of women regretted aborting their pregnancy conceived in rape. And, like Nicole, many agreed the abortion was like being raped a second time.

"This page is a compilation of life-affirming personal stories of rape survivors who became pregnant out of rape and they are either parenting the child, placed their child for adoption, regret aborting their child, or miscarried their child,
including the following:

Heather Gemmen from Indiana, Kaylee Swanson from Pennsylvania, Liz Carl from Kentucky, Irene van der Wende from the Netherlands, Heather Peterson-Grech from New Mexico, "Grace Hope," Jennifer McCoy from Kansas, Julie Savage from the United Kingdom, Angelina Steenstra from Ontario, Canada, Kay Golden, Samantha Renee,

March for Life - Mark Your Calendars

In 2011 and 2012, the anniversary date of the Roe v. Wade decision will fall on a weekend, a time when lawmakers are typically away from Washington. We want to make sure that our pro-life pilgrimage to our nation’s capitol has maximum impact on our elected leaders; and that our Marchers have an opportunity to visit with their Congressional delegations in order to press their pro-life message. For those reasons, we have scheduled the March for Life to be held on Monday, January 24, 2011, and Monday, January 23, 2012.

Please plan now to attend. Your presence, in growing numbers every year, is the best way to draw attention to the untenable legacy of Roe v. Wade, and to persuade our leaders to eradicate it from America’s future.

No More "Mental Retardation." So?

"When only 10 percent of people pre-natally diagnosed with this disorder make it to birth, not referring to that lucky minority as "mentally retarded" seems like a hollow victory—as if we are rescuing survivors of the death camp, offering them freedom and food, but failing to shut down the gas chambers for the rest of their race. Can any significant respect be ever given to those with Down syndrome when those who call themselves advocates ignore this ignominious irony?"

Shedding Light on the Truth

"In a D and E, the baby, while alive, is dismembered limb from limb. Medical textbooks and sworn court testimony describe how the abortionist pulls off the arms and legs and crushes the head."

On Martin Luther King Day, Blacks Face Racial Challenge From Abortion

As the nation pauses today to remember the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., black Americans face a racial threat from a much different source than the ones King confronted: abortion.

The Guttmacher Institute recently released a new report on abortion statistics nationwide that confirms the abortion industry continues to target black Americans. Abortions on black women still occur at a much higher rated than compared with the percentage of African-Americans in society as a whole.
