PP's fuzzy math

The Fate Of Women If There Were No Planned Parenthoods In GA – Planned Parenthood’s Fuzzy Math « Social Justice Begins in the Womb – Daily Pro-life Updates from the BK Lounge: Bryan Kemper relates, "In the state of Georgia alone there are 222 federally Title X funded health clinics that provide all of the services that Planned Parenthood provides and DO NOT perform abortions. Not only do they provide the same services but many of them provide Mammograms, a service Planned Parenthood DOES NOT provide."

Editor: I did a quick check of Michigan Title X recipients. There are 88 community health centers and 29 Planned Parenthood offices. Not all PP's offer abortion, but they all refer for abortion. My next question is, "How many community health centers refer women for abortions?"

Women with congenital heart disease are more likely to have been born preterm

A survey of women born in Sweden has revealed three significant links between being born prematurely and having an inborn heart defect, what doctors call congenital heart disease (CHD). First, women with CHD were more likely to have been born preterm or small-for-gestational age (SGA) than women without CHD. Secondly, when women with CHD have children, their babies are more likely to have a congenital malformation than children of unaffected women. They are also more prone to give birth to children preterm or SGA and their babies are more often delivered by cesarean section. And thirdly, mothers of women with CHD were more often single/unmarried or older than mothers whose children did not have heart disease. Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica

Federal Budget Battle Frustrates D.C. Residents

Federal Budget Battle Frustrates D.C. Residents : NPR: All day Friday Democratic lawmakers told reporters they were blocking efforts by Republicans to use the budget deal as a way to end funding for [Planned Parenthood]. But as the midnight deadline for a government shutdown loomed closer, President Obama spoke to House speaker John Boehner. John, I'll give you D.C. abortion. I am not happy about it, is what the president is reported to have said. And with that an agreement was reached. What the President gave Boehner was a provision that allows Congress to prohibit the use of locally raised tax dollars to pay for abortions for low income women in Washington, DC.

According to the latest D.C. census, the number of African-Americans in the city is alarmingly low. In one decade, "the black population dropped by more than 39,000." Experts say the percentages haven't been this low since World War II. Do liberals think that's a coincidence? Obviously, the local Planned Parenthood clinics are doing their job. So while Mayor Vincent Gray rages on about taxation without abortion representation, he should stop and consider where his city would be in another 10 years without the legislation. FRC

Planned Parenthood: A Thorn In Abortion Foes' Sides

Planned Parenthood: A Thorn In Abortion Foes' Sides : NPR: One in 5 women in the United States has visited a Planned Parenthood clinic. That makes the organization highly popular — and makes anti-abortion activists that much more irritated that Planned Parenthood continues to get federal funding: about $360 million in 2009, the last year for which statistics are available. Florida State professor Rohlinger says what the anti-abortion movement hates most about Planned Parenthood is its persistence: 'It basically stands in the way of its primary goal, which is to make the abortion procedure inaccessible in the U.S.'

Politico reports that online contributions to Planned Parenthood have grown by 500 percent since the House passed the bill that would have stripped its federal funding.

Victory over sexual violence

I was in a new town, no family, few friends close by, no health insurance and not a clue how to take care of myself during pregnancy.

One day, during a desperate call to a friend from home, I went over my so-called choices. She made a comment to me, “I know you are feeling overwhelmed with sadness and pain and despair right now, but just know, no single feeling lasts forever. An abortion will.” That hit me like a ton of bricks.

Upon deeper reflection, I realized that while I did not know who the father of my baby was yet, I did know who his mother was. And that was me. Feminists for Life, page 10, video

Tapes Show Planned Parenthood Injured Woman in Botched Abortion

Tapes Show Planned Parenthood Injured Woman in Botched Abortion | LifeNews.com: The Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Everett, Washington, sent a woman to the hospital in late March. Local pro-life advocate Mary Emanuel was at the abortion facility at the time and said, “We are still investigating as to the severity of the botched abortion and only pray that it was not fatal or caused serious injuries.” Since then, Emanuel obtained the recording of the 911 call Planned Parenthood officials placed to emergency personnel.

In the call, the Planned Parenthood caller casually tells the dispatcher that abortion center staff “have a patient that is bleeding that we need to transfer to the hospital immediately. We just did an abortion on her.” After confirming the patient was “not yet” in shock, the caller asked that the ambulance and emergency responders use the side door of the facility to not draw as much attention.

Abortion foes' tactics highlight high NYC rate

Abortion foes' tactics highlight high NYC rate | Page 2 of 2: Experts point to a myriad number of possible factors — social, economic, financial — to explain the statistics on abortions and unintended pregnancies in New York City. Rachel Jones, a senior researcher at the Guttmacher Institute, said that the procedure is more accessible in the city because there are fewer laws in New York that regulate abortion, state insurance pays for the procedure and public transportation makes it easy to get to providers. 'We are a geographically concentrated area,' she said. 'It is easy to find a clinic and it is easy to get there.'
