Contraceptive Mandate Continues to Stir Up Controversy

As I write this, I am still very confused as to why Obama would want this contraceptive mandate to go through. This is certainly not going to help his long-crumbling reputation as a president, so why? The more I contemplate this, the more I see that the answer is in the numbers. Bear with me here, this is NOT a crazy conspiracy theory. If Obama aborts more babies, Planned Parenthood might endorse him. He is already a hero in the eyes of pro choice advocates and more importantly the hero of Planned Parenthood's pocketbooks and future as a clinic. You see, if Obama forces Americans to pay for an unnecessary service, that's more money being wasted...on Planned Parenthood. They'll pocket the money that they do not deserve and use it to fuel their campaigns, their publicity, their dwindling support and their low funding. More money = more abortions. It's a horrifying way of doing business, but it's still normal to society. Now, I am not implying that they have some kind of secret partnership, but that Obama is deliberately giving Planned Parenthood more funding, so therefore, they "relieve" us of more of our children, grandchildren and future generations of our families.

40 Days for Life

Hello, fellow Bloggers. I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog for awhile-I have been super busy. Now that I am finally sitting down to write, there are a couple new things I'd like to share. First of all, a friend and I started a fast today against abortion called "40 Days for Life". When you join this nationwide event, you give up something you love for 40 days and pray everyday. I have never done anything like this before, it's my first time. But I can truthfully say its a challenge worth accepting. I would recommend doing it with a friend so they can hold you accountable and you can also hold them accountable. It keeps you on track. The second thing I'd like to mention is that Obama, in the midst of the contraception mandate backlash, has offered to "compromise",. Notice I put quotation marks. His "compromise" is not much different, if not more offensive. He has offered that instead of church groups having to provide contraception, the insurance companies everywhere will have to. Obama has officially created more controversy. The last thing I need to say is I will update this blog as much as I can, but I think I'll be switching my schedule to 1-2 posts per week or more. Thank you so much for understanding!

You Could Have...But You Didn't

Why is it that every time a teen gets pregnant, she is immediately advised by her family or boyfriend to get rid of the baby? Don't they realize it is now their responsibility? Everyone's actions have consequences. They are lost. They are readily offered a "cure" for their problems. If you are sick, you go to the doctor, if you have a headache, you take an aspirin, if you're hungry, you eat. If you are faced with an unwanted pregnancy, you can kill your baby. Something very interesting was shown to me recently. I found a quote by a president of ours.

"I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born". -Ronald Reagan

Another quote by Ronald Reagan on the subject of abortion was made in 1982.

"Simple morality dictates that unless and until someone can prove the unborn human is not alive, we must give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it is (alive). And, thus, it should be entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." - Ronald Reagan 1982

I think it is safe to say that during Reagan's presidency, he was pro life. Today, we are faced with a controversial contraceptive mandate forcing our insurance companies to provide abortive pills and devices. Infringing our rights is just the beginning. Yet, these are just quotes. Merely opinion. But they're true. People who read my posts will know that I think being pro life is caring about the rest of humanity. If we kill off half of the population, who will be the next generation? Who will carry the hopes, dreams and ideals of their parents? To all the teen moms out there who stood up and kept their baby, I salute you. Cause I know it's not easy. But you took that challenge. Whatever your beliefs, you made the right choice. Because of you, your baby will get to experience life. For those of you who are contemplating abortion, I urge you to stop and think how scared you would be if someone took your life just like that. You didn't have a say in the matter. You didn't have rights. You were just flat out murdered. That's a scary thing. Murder is a scary thing.

Coverups, Scandals, Law Breaking, Oh My!

If you visit any Pro Life sites on the Internet, you might notice that they are constantly reporting slip-ups or illegal activity from Planned Parenthood. As you read these, you may be asking, "Why are they still funded if they aren't consistently being a good organization?" Here's why: the world is becoming obsessed with women's rights. So much that they've forgotten the rights of the very humans inside the woman. People are afraid that if they defund Planned Parenthood, 1. There will be an uprising or 2. There will be no more "basic healthcare" for women. I'm no expert, but I can say this: there are thousands of clinics that provide everything from basic healthcare to advanced surgeries. The only thing these centers don't provide are abortions. The end of Planned Parenthood is essentially the end of abortion. The pro choice advocate's response to this idea will typically be shot back immediately: "but Planned Parenthood does these services free of charge, and if Planned Parenthood is defunded, then poor women won't get basic healthcare they need". You may hesitate at that one. Sounds pretty good, right? In actuality, this is a very weak response. You see, there ARE clinics that offer those services free of charge. Neighborhood clinics provide basic healthcare services for the poor. With that remark, their response that seemed so strong is now quickly deflated. There will most certainly be an uprising if Planned Parenthood is defunded, but we need to stand our ground. There will be outrage as there was when Susan G. Komen defunded them.

BREAKING: New Parental Initiative in California

Leaders have proposed a new parental initiative in California. And it's not the good kind. This new initiative will permit a California female no matter how young to request an abortion without a parent or legal guardian having to know about it. This hits home for me because I was born in California. It is becoming more and more clear that Planned Parenthood thinks that parents are the bad guys. I don't blame them. If I were going to make thousands off of an abortion and a parent was going to object to that, I'd be pretty annoyed. Annoyed enough to ensure that young girls can get abortions without parental consent. Now that they're out of the way, I can get more young girls into my clinics and, therefore, make more money. After all, isn't that what women's rights is all about? Live Action has the scoop on this initiative treating a parent's right to know what their child is up to: Californians will try again to submit a parental notification before abortion initiative that they hope to see voters approve next fall. What does this really means? Like about a dozen other states, in California a female no matter how young can request an abortion without her parents having to know about it. This initiative for a Constitutional Amendment, beyond being a pro-life or pro-choice issue, is really pro-parent. Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, wouldn’t you want to be with your child during this decision process? Some people will argue that there will be girls that will be mistreated when they reveal their pregnancies to their families. In the almost 40 states states with parental notifications, this fear has not been realized. But in any case, the initiative reads: “…Changes California Constitution to prohibit abortion for unemancipated minor until physician notifies her parent/legal guardian in writing. Provides exceptions for medical emergency, parental waiver, or parental abuse documented by notarized statement from law enforcement, protective services, or certain adult relatives. Permits judge to waive notice if minor appears personally in court and proves maturity or waiver is in her best interest. Requires physicians to report specific abortion information to Department of Public Health. Physicians can be sued for violating these provisions up to 12 years after abortion.” The fear-mongering claims from the abortion industry that parental involvement laws will endanger minors has simply not not come to pass when looking at the real-world evidence from other states. In the worst of the cases, such as incest, the minor can go for help, and have the incest reported, and not swept under the rug by a secret abortion and unreported abuse. Because, lest not forget, clinics like Planned Parenthood doesn’t always comply with mandatory reporting laws for statutory rape. For more information visit the Californians for Parental Rights website or Facebook page and sign and/or volunteer to put this initiative in the ballot this November 2012. Kind of pushes the envelope, doesn't it?

Planned Parenthood Center in Iowa Closing

Another victory for life! A Planned Parenthood Center in Iowa is set to close officially on March 1st. Here is a clip from Live Action's blog: Shawn Carney writes on the 40 Days for Life website that the Planned Parenthood facility in Storm Lake, Iowa is due to close on March 1 of this year. The leader of the 40 days for Life campaign there, Sue Theyer, was once manager of the clinic. She had been fired from her clinic in 2008. She claims this was done due to questions she had raised concerning ‘telemed abortions’. An article in the Des Moines Register recently recounted her story. Carney notes that: Just days after that article appeared — and less than three months after Sue finished leading the 40 Days for Life campaign outside the Storm Lake Planned Parenthood — the closure was announced. 40 Days for Life is due to start up again on February 22. You can find information on what locations are participating here. What do you think of this? Do you think that Planned Parenthood is possibly retreating?

All the little children of the world

Today as I sit and write this, I am reminded of how God gives and takes away life. He knows every single hair on your head, your hopes, dreams and fears. I am not ashamed nor remorseful to tell you that I am a Christian. I love Jesus, he is my best friend. Jesus loves all his little children. He created them. That is why it makes him so sad to see his children murdered and thrown away. Abortion is a disgusting, hateful act. And as I write this, I am reminded of the song I sang in church so long ago as a little girl. It goes like this: Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight, Jesus loves all the little children of the world. What a great song. Though I sang it as a child, it still holds great truth to me today. He loves ALL his children. Not some, not the majority, ALL of them. Every single one. Regardless of what you've done, regardless of the poor choices you've made, he loves you. He even loves the abortionists at Planned Parenthood who are so wrongfully deceived. That's why he calls us to defend unborn life. Because he loves every single one and wants them to live. Now, God knows everything. He's not up in heaven, looking down and saying, "gee, I didn't know that was going to happen". He knows everything that is and will be. He knows how our life is planned because he planned it. He knows every single baby that is aborted. Those babies are better off than us because they're in heaven with him. God loves them like their mothers never wanted to or never got to. Even though America was founded on Christian values, we are turning farther and farther away from the very things the country was founded upon. Like the constitution. If Planned Parenthood employees took a look at the Constitution, they would instantly quit their jobs. What happened to equality? What happened to the right of life? Remember when Martin Luther King made his famous "I have a dream" speech? In that speech he said that "all men are created equal". He meant it. Yet, in the 21st century, I assume that Martin Luther King isn't important anymore, judging by the way the government introduced abortion. And judging by the way murder that happens in these clinics, abortion has been rendered a casual event. No jaw drops here, it's been happening for as long as I can remember. We're numb to it because of the frequency. The shock is just so calloused. It's not that we don't care about life, we just don't know if things will ever change. Ever. Will it be the same way when we start our families? Is the government still going to be ignorant to the life being snatched under their noses? Or will they finally realize the murderous acts? Murder is a strong word. I feel strongly about abortion. I honestly think that abortion is essentially murder. It's murder without a doubt. Abortion is murder, and people assume that because the human is smaller than them, it's insignificant, so they start calling it a fetus and saying it doesn't matter because it's just a bundle of cells. They're dead wrong. It's an equal human being. Equal as you and me.

Komen for the Cure Will Keep Funding Planned Parenthood

Today, Susan G. Komen for the Cure released a press statement: We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives. The events of this week have been deeply unsettling for our supporters, partners and friends and all of us at Susan G. Komen. We have been distressed at the presumption that the changes made to our funding criteria were done for political reasons or to specifically penalize Planned Parenthood. They were not. Our original desire was to fulfill our fiduciary duty to our donors by not funding grant applications made by organizations under investigation. We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political. That is what is right and fair. Our only goal for our granting process is to support women and families in the fight against breast cancer. Amending our criteria will ensure that politics has no place in our grant process. We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities. It is our hope and we believe it is time for everyone involved to pause, slow down and reflect on how grants can most effectively and directly be administered without controversies that hurt the cause of women. We urge everyone who has participated in this conversation across the country over the last few days to help us move past this issue. We do not want our mission marred or affected by politics – anyone’s politics. Starting this afternoon, we will have calls with our network and key supporters to refocus our attention on our mission and get back to doing our work. We ask for the public’s understanding and patience as we gather our Komen affiliates from around the country to determine how to move forward in the best interests of the women and people we serve. We extend our deepest thanks for the outpouring of support we have received from so many in the past few days and we sincerely hope that these changes will be welcomed by those who have expressed their concern. Is it just me, or is Komen giving in? This is such an honorable organization and they are not standing up for their beliefs and instead just leaning to pressure and giving in? Madness. I can tell you one thing, Susan G. Komen will not be receiving any of my money unless they drop Planned Parenthood for good.

Susan G. Komen Breaks Off Partnership with Planned Parenthood

After many years of supporting abortion giant Planned Parenthood, Susan G. Komen has broken off their partnership with them. In a statement made by Cecile Richards, CEO of Planned Parenthood, Richards expressed concern over Komen's decision saying that it was "hurtful". Here is the complete statement: "It’s hard to understand how an organization with whom we share a mission of saving women’s lives could have bowed to this kind of bullying,” Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood told The Associated Press. “It’s really hurtful.” Now, what kind of hurtful is she talking about? The one where she's sad that she's not going to be endorsed by Susan G. Komen anymore and therefore has less support and profit from taking lives? Cecile Richards is really lost. Another thing that needs clarifying is when she says, "with whom we share the mission of saving women's lives". Saving lives? Susan G. Komen saves lives while Planned Parenthood kills them. I don't understand how their mission is similar to Susan G. Komen's. Notice that Cecile remarks that its shocking that Komen could have "bowed to this kind of bullying". That's simply not true. In fact, Komen denied these claims. Planned Parenthood is trying to tell their supporters that their partner bowed to bullying so that the attention doesn't get drawn to the real reason Komen left them: the investigations. You see, Live Action went into several Planned Parenthoods and filmed a series of undercover videos exposing the lies of Planned Parenthood. The videos prove that what Planned Parenthood alleged as an "isolated incident" really wasn't. In fact, the videos showcase a series of incidents at Planned Parenthoods accross the country. If that doesn't get Planned Parenthood shaking in their boots, I don't know what does. They're afraid that the real reason will come to light: that Susan G. Komen left because they don't want to fund an organization that's being investigated for a series of incidents that where illegal. I congratulate Susan G. Komen on this honorable decision. They'll save more lives by doing this than by supporting the opposite.

What could have been...

When you think about the harmful effects of abortion, you may think about the destroyed futures and lives tossed away as if they're useless. But have you ever thought about all the scientists, stars, innovators and performers that could have been if they had a chance to live? The government believes that such a life-and-death desicion of a human being's life should be placed in the hands of those who are unsure and wrongfully deceived by society's view of abortion. When, in reality, the right to take the lives of the unborn without care, shouldn't be given to anyone. Certainly not an impregnated teen or young woman who has no idea what to do. Abortion seems easy to them. They're too young to realize the impact of their decision on the unborn. They're told by Planned Parenthood that their baby "won't feel the pain" and that it's the right decision. It's not. Ending a human being's life is never the right decision. It's not in the best interest of the parent of the child nor the child itself. It's not "empowering women" or "helping women". After abortion, they face feelings of guilt and remorse. They can't change what happened. If they could go back, they would. They would tell themselves the truth that was not as obvious to their adolescent selves as it was to their adult self. Many would go back and change what happened. Honestly, look at this way: Planned Parenthood is the only clinic that supposed to provide "health care" that profits off their killings of 80, 000 unborn children per year. Imagine that. 80,000 that never got to experience life. 80,000 that was never given a chance. Planned Parenthood is also the only clinic I know that justifies murder in the name of women's rights. But what rights does the baby have? None, according to Planned Parenthood, because apparently they see the human being that lives in their patient's womb as "just a bundle of cells". If its a bundle of cells, why does it breathe and live just like a regular human? Why does it cry when it's born? Because its alive. Planned Parenthood will never know the truth that we know because they are deceived. They are deceived by themselves.

Defund Planned Parenthood

There has been a lot of controversy over the subject of defunding Planned Parenthood. People have been discussing it, and, more importantly, politicians have been too. The question is: will the bill rally up enough support to be made law? Some point out the fact that if Planned Parenthood is to be defunded, that would spell trouble for women looking for basic healthcare. Yet, in her interview with Fox News, Lila Rose, president of Live Action, a pro life group, stated that she had found 800 other clinics that could provide the same basic healthcare (excluding abortions). So why are we wasting our taxpayer dollars on unneeded and morally wrong medical clinics and practices? Pro abortionists say that if Planned Parenthood is defunded, they could come up with the money on their own. After all, they say, some famous celebrities have appeared in ads for the "Stand With Planned Parenthood" campaign and might be willing to pitch in to support Planned Parenthood. Either by fundraising or by enlisting celebs for help, pro abortionists speculate that Planned Parenthood might be able to produce its own funds. Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood director says that "at the end of the day, (celebrities) will endorse them, but won't fund them". My take is that celebrities have a lot of money and enough press to go through with it, but it would take a lot of pro abortion celebrities to fund Planned Parenthood's clinics across the world. If we want to continue with our fight against Planned Parenthood, we have got to hit them where it hurts: their pocketbooks. Defund Planned Parenthood and they wil not thrive without our hard earned money. Indiana has already defunded their Planned Parenthood clinics, drawing much outcry from democrat and liberal politicians. If they can do it, so can we.

Abby Johnson: Fighting against Planned Parenthood

Abby Johnson was just a regular Planned Parenthood employee. She was in charge of the Planned Parenthood clinic in her state of Texas. Until now, she had never really thought about abortion. She says the things Planned Parenthood told her she "wanted to believe". Abby Johnson began volunteering for Planned Parenthood when their bright pink booth was at a convention. She says of her recruitment: "it sounded like such a good cause. You know, protecting women." But the lions den that Johnson was working in was just normal for her. Abortion was just for preventing pregnancy. Then, one day it all changed. Everything she knew came crashing down on her. She was asked to assist in an ultrasound-guided abortion. She was in charge of holding the probe on the patient's abdomen while the baby's picture was on the screen. When she looked at the screen, she saw what she didn't know was a human. She says, "I knew it wasn't human, but I just didn't know wha it was." Johnson saw the baby recoil and try to get away from the probe. Abby said it was as if the baby was fighting for its life. "It was scared of the abortion instrument," Johnson later said. When it was finally over, "Where there used to be life, it was just gone in a few seconds", explained Abby. After that, Abby knew she couldn't turn a blind eye to her job's circumstances and practices. She said she went into one of the closets and cried. She called her husband to talk to him about getting a new job. "I was going to retire with Planned Parenthood. You know what they call their retirement plans? 'Lifers'", says Johnson of her job. She only had two weeks left in her job and she was glad. From that moment on, Johnson became pro life. She now fights for the rights of the unborn and exposes Planned Parenthood's lies to the public. Abby Johnsob says that when Planned Parenthood found out that she was pro life, they took it to court and had a restraining order placed on her. Abby Johnson just laughs, knowing that she doesn't need to go back to Planned Parenthood to stop all the injustice happening. She protests with others outside the clinic she used to run. There is no doubt Abby Johnson is unstoppable. To find out more about Abby Johnson, visit her website www.abbyjohnson.org or read her book, Unplanned, which can be found in most bookstores.

March for Life

On the anniversary of "Roe v Wade", thousands gather in Washington, DC, to join other pro lifers for the "March for Life". This event, though it has a high rate of participants, has not gained any media coverage or exposure. I guess networks are afraid of what covering this event might do to their ratings.

How much do you know about your candidate of choice's stance on life?

The presidential race has started and whether you're ready or not, the top canidates have been chosen. Everyone wants a president who has the "right" views. Views that they themselves have. A candidate who is a pro lifer is especially important if you're like me. If you're confused or unsure about who believes what, this article is for you. Here is a quick rundown on the candidates beliefs on pro life. Newt Gingrich Gingrich signed a pledge to select only pro-life appointees for top jobs and to stop federal dollars going to abortion clinics. Gingrich is pro life. Mitt Romney Romney voices strong opposition to abortion, but has not yet signed the pro life pledge. Being conservative, I think it is safe to say that Mitt is mainly pro life. Ron Paul Ron Paul is very conservative and pro-life. He says he has never understood how an act of violence, killing a human being, is portrayed as a precious right. He supports overturning Roe V. Wade but believes that states should regulate abortions, which is portrayed as contradictory. Rick Santorum A genuine pro lifer, Santorum supports overturning Roe v. Wade. Don't just take my word for it. Google it, research it, find out more about where the canidates really are on the issue of abortion. Write them letters, ask them the tough questions. If they have a good chance of being president, you have the right to ask about it and get the truth straight from the source. Find a town hall meeting where one of these politicians will be present and speak up. Pick a candidate that will not only overturn Roe v. Wade, but make abortion illegal. Someone who is deeply pro life and really believes in what they're saying and is convicted instead of saying they are pro life just to earn votes. You have the right to influence our country.

A few words of encouragement

I just wanted to remind you all that even though it may be stormy, even though it seems like people don't care about your stance on life, keep on fighting. Never give up. Don't let them tell you what you should believe. It's your life. and you should stand up and keep fighting for those views until they realize that you're right and that you're on the right side. The side of life. Just know that it's right to believe in justice and equality. Just hold on to your truths. Fight for our generation.

Why life?

I am pro life because I care.
I am pro life because I believe in equal rights.
I an pro life because I am a defender of the weak.
I am pro life because I'm an advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves.
I am pro life because I love life.
