Barack Obama before Planned Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007
Barak Obama stated before the Planned Parenthood Action Fund in July 2007 - "I have worked on these issues for decades now. I put Roe at the center of my lesson plan on reproductive freedom when I taught Constitutional Law. Not simply as a case about privacy but as part of the broader struggle for women’s equality. Steve and Pam will tell you that we fought together in the Illinois State Senate against restrictive choice (Editor: pro-life) legislation—laws just like the federal abortion laws, the federal abortion bans that are cropping up. I’ve stood up for the freedom of choice in the United States Senate and I stand by my votes against the confirmation of Judge Roberts and Samuel Alito [Applause]" To read a transcript of Obama's 25 minute speech visit:LauraEtch - Barack Obama before Planned Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007:
Pro-life outrage as hundreds of children survive after being born within the legal abortion time | the Daily Mail
In Great Britain the Department of Health released figures showing that 909 babies were born between 22 and 24 weeks gestation in 2005, and of these 250 lived at least one year.
"Pro-life campaigners will use the figures to add weight to their argument that the abortion time limit should be cut when MPs vote on the issue in a few weeks. The current time limit of 24 weeks was decided by Parliament in 1990 and the upcoming Human and Fertilisation and Embryology Bill will be the first time MPs will have been given a vote on the issue since then." They will be allowed to vote their conscience. Visit: Pro-life outrage as hundreds of children survive after being born within the legal abortion time | the Daily Mail:

Doctor Says about "Brain Dead" Man Saved from Organ Harvesting - "Brain Death is Never Really Death"
"OKLAHOMA, March 27, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - 21-year-old Zack Dunlap, a man who was diagnosed as 'brain dead' and who was mere minutes away from having his organs harvested, now says, four months after the accident that brought him to the brink of death, that he feels 'pretty good.' Dunlap's story was told in an NBC piece aired earlier this week, in which the young man himself was interviewed.
While Zack's case is being touted in the media as a 'miracle', a neonatologist and expert on brain-death has told LifeSiteNews.com that Zack's case, while remarkable in a sense, is not as rare as the mainstream media's reporting makes it seem." Visit:

National Planned Parenthood sought closures of clinics in South Florida -- Health, Broward County -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com
According to Alex Arreaza, board chairman of Planned Parenthood, local affiliates of Planned Parenthood of South Palm Beach and Broward Counties were inspected by national Planned Parenthood officials recently. They found deficiencies in clinic conditions, finances, medical operations, policies and proceedures which resulted in the temporary shut down of five offices. According to Sun-Sentinel.com, "Some board members had been complaining about the conditions to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in Washington, D.C., and New York for at least 18 months, said former board members Barbara Herring, Estelle Loewenstein and Jane Braus, who resigned in late 2006".

Hillary Clinton, Ed Rendell, and Umbert the Unborn Marched in Scranton's St. Patrick's Day Parade
You didn't expect Umbert the Unborn to be in the same photo with two of the nation's most pro-abortion politicians did you?
A Prayer Before Planned Parenthood
My friend John Borra composed this prayer for all who are praying in front of Planned
Parenthood on Good Friday to use. Thanks John.
A Prayer Before Planned Parenthood
Almighty God,
We pause here to remember the uncounted victims of a misguided society: women, confused and frightened, who were led to believe problems would be solved by terminating their pregnancies; unborn children who died as a result; couples whose wonderful potential to foster new life has been stifled.
Enlighten those who pervert the healing arts by turning against life, that they might see the destruction they have wrought. Dispel the nihilism that reduces unborn children to mere abstractions. Lead our citizens, courts and governments to understand that everyone has a right to live, regardless of age, ability, health or social circumstance.
Bless our youngsters, that they might appreciate their bodies, value chastity and understand the true purpose of sexuality.
Allay the fears of new parents. Encourage them, that they might treasure the lives they've brought into the world, trust in your providence and embrace the call to parenthood. May they understand that children are unrepeatable gifts, no matter the circumstances of their conception.
Grant that society will once again respect marriage as the insoluble union which brings forth the family and recognize the family as the very foundation upon which society itself rests. Dispel the selfishness that regards fertility as a malady and pregnancy as a disease, that couples might cherish procreation as a blessing and bring ever more life into the world.
Console those parents who once chose abortion and now regret their decision; may their grief turn to action and their suffering to resolve in testament to the Truth.
Strengthen with love all who seek You, that we might embrace our calling to be light amid the darkness and, so, transform America, that she finally might become a nation under You, oh Lord, with liberty and justice for all.
Saint Gianna, who gave up her life that her unborn daughter might live, pray for us!
Saint Maximilian, martyr of an earlier holocaust, pray for us!
Amen.

St. Louis Archdiocese Opposes Komen Race Involvement Over Abortion Link
St. Louis Archdiocese Opposes Komen Race Involvement Over Abortion Link: "St. Louis, MO (LifeNews.com) -- Despite a decision by the Little Rock Catholic Diocese to withdraw its objections to the Komen Race for the Cure event, the St. Louis Archdiocese is still asking pro-life people to boycott the event. That's because Komen denies the link between abortion and breast cancer and its affiliates have funded Planned Parenthood."

Obama and Clinton Join Senate Against Helping Pregnant Women, McCain Disagrees
"Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton joined a majority of the Senate Thursday night in rejecting an amendment that would offer financial support to poor pregnant women and their unborn children. Their votes contrasted with likely GOP presidential nominee John McCain.
The two candidates voted against a measure by Sen. Wayne Allard of Colorado that would have included pregnant women and their unborn children in the SCHIP program"

Where Does Obama Stand on Infanticde? Read Santorum's The Elephant in the Room: Obama: A harsh ideologue - Philadelphia Inquirer | 02/28/2008
Should infants born alive after abortion be saved? Obama votes No!
From Senator Santorum's column:
"Who would oppose a bill that said you couldn't kill a baby who was born? Not Kennedy, Boxer or Hillary Rodham Clinton. Not even the hard-core National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL). Obama, however, is another story. The year after the Born Alive Infants Protection Act became federal law in 2002, identical language was considered in a committee of the Illinois Senate. It was defeated with the committee's chairman, Obama, leading the opposition." Visit:
