Planned Parenthood Deserves to Lose Their Federal Funding - Technorati Technorati Women
A 20 year old pro-life student named Mary Lane posted a great column called "Planned Parenthood Deserves to Lose their Federal Funding", but the real story is found in the comments that follow. Many of these people need to be educated about PP. From Miss Lane's article: "If you missed it, Lila Rose’s Youth-Led organization, called Live Action, has posted a handful of videos over the past few years exposing the corruptions of Planned Parenthood. In the most recent videos, Planned Parenthood workers at 3 separate clinics are shown helping an undercover actor posing as a pimp to keep his “sex work” with minors a secret, giving him advice on where to take the girls to get medical care before going back out on the street to make him more money." .

Pennsylvania Governor's Race: Tom Corbett vs. Dan Onorato- Where do the candidates stand on abortion?
Tom Corbett, A Champion for Life
By Maureen Manzano
In the race for governor, sometimes silence speaks volumes.
Tom Corbett, Pennsylvania attorney general, and Republican
candidate for governor, has been a consistent pro-life advocate.
In a recent poll conducted by the PA Pro-Life Federation,
Corbett said he would support:
* Prohibiting the use of taxpayer dollars to fund elective abortions .
* Legislation providing women with the opportunity to view an
ultrasound of their preborn child before an abortion.
*Banning the use of state tax dollars for research which
destroys human embryos .
* Funding of Pregnancy Counseling Centers which provide
alternatives to abortion and do not counsel or refer for abortions.
His opponent, Democrat Dan Onorato, who has claimed to be
“personally pro-life,” has refused to respond to questions regarding
the above issues, in the PA Pro-Life Federation questionnaire.
He has also been quoted as saying that “Even if Roe v. Wade is
overturned, I will veto any attempt to change Pennsylvania’s law.”
(That law would allow abortions for up to 24 weeks of pregnancy).
Mr. Corbett has lauded the work of pro-life groups across the
state, and has consistently worked to preserve restrictions on abortions
in the state of Pennsylvania. He also stood up to Planned Parenthood
by supporting New Hampshire’s abortion control act before the
U.S. Supreme Court. By doing so, he ultimately protected
Pennsylvania’s Abortion Control Act by helping to preserve
restrictions on abortion nationwide.
Both candidates have promoted their own proposals for
healthcare reform in the state Mr. Corbett as attorney general,
joined Pennsylvania with 19 other states to file a lawsuit to stop
what is now called Obamacare, the sweeping health care reform
legislation that includes funding for abortion and raises concerns
about health care rationing. The states believe that the healthcare
reforms are unconstitutional.
In August, a federal judge allowed the suit to continue. The
federal court hearing began last month. While the Obama
Administration believes that states have no legal standing to bring
legal action against the federal government, attorneys general
for the 20 states believe the federal government is exceeding its
Constitutional authority by its mandate that all citizens have
health insurance or face a fine. The federal government’s
argument has been that the “individual mandate” is actually a
tax. Only taxpayers can argue the legality of a tax, they contend,
and even then only after the assessments take effect in 2015.
The administration also will cite its constitutional authority to
regulate interstate commerce, along with its responsibility to
provide for the public’s general welfare. As for healthcare, Mr.
Onorato has outlined several proposals, and while it does not go
into great detail under “Women’s Health,” it states that he “supports
state funding for comprehensive family planning services.”

Joe Sestak Endorsed by National Abortion Rights Action League by Sue Cirba
How radical is Rep. Joe Sestak's record on abortion? Sestak is radical enough to have earned the endorsement of the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) in all of his political campaigns, as well as contributions from them. According to their mission statement, NARAL "uses the political process to guarantee….the full range of reproductive choices, including … choosing legal abortion."
Sestak received NARAL's endorsement and a $5,000 campaign contribution in the PA primary against Arlen Specter according to a May 12 th press release by Nancy Keenan, NARAL's president. Sestak said he was "greatful" for NARAL's support.
Joe Sestak has been supported by the pro-abortion group NARAL consistently. In Sestak's "first successful campaign…NARAL...spent $232,000 on independent expenditures, including voter identification, polling, persuasion mail pieces…, and phone calls, reaching 86,000 households." according to Ms. Keenan's press release. NARAL's political action committee "contributed $10,000 to Sestak's 2006 campaign and $2,500 to his re-election bid in 2008" wrote Keenan. She added, Sestak's endorsement "continued the organization's strong ties with Sestak"
Pro-life voter's need to know about Sestak's pro-abortion stand and remember Sestak cast NO votes for pro-life legislation during his career in Congress according to the National Right to Life Committee scorecard.

Attorney General Now Claims Illinois Constitution Contains Right to Abortion, Thomas More Society Responds
The Following Press Release was Posted on the Thomas More Society website 3/12/10
Attorney General Now Claims Illinois Constitution Contains Right to Abortion, Thomas More Society Responds by Seeking Leave of Court to Defend Parental Notice
Posted by Thomas More Society (March 12, 2010 at 5:02 pm)
For Immediate ReleaseChicago, Illinois March 12—Reacting to the recent claim by the Attorney General that the Illinois Constitution contains a right to abortion, attorneys from the Thomas More Society will appear in Cook County court on Monday, March 15, again seeking to intervene in the latest American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawsuit, challenging the Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995.
In Hope Clinic, et al., v. Brent Adams et al. (No. 09 CH 38661), Thomas More Society attorneys are representing Illinois State’s Attorneys Stu Umholtz (R-Tazewell), Ed Deters (D-Effingham) and Ray Cavanaugh (R-Henderson), and maintain that because there is no right to abortion in the Illinois Constitution, the ACLU’s latest challenge to parental notice is baseless. The Attorney General, representing various Illinois officials who are named as defendants, has moved to dismiss the case on other grounds.
“Because the ACLU has already lost in federal court, its lawyers must prove in state court both the foundational contention that the Illinois Constitution of 1970 guaranteed a right to abortion and the further contention that such a right is even stronger than the federal abortion right upheld in Roe v. Wade, handed down in 1973. The contention that the Illinois Constitution includes a right to abortion is an utter falsehood plainly belied by the historical record. Yet, instead of defending the Illinois Constitution, whose Framers clearly left the issue of abortion to the legislature, the Attorney General has tossed the Constitution aside and conceded to the ACLU its foundational contention that the Illinois Constitution includes a right to abortion,” stated Thomas Brejcha, President & Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Society. “Illinois parents have a right to know before their kids are taken for abortions. If the Attorney General won’t defend the parental notice law vigorously, we will do so, until the day when there are no more secret abortions performed on Illinois children.”
The Parental Notice of Abortion Act requires a child under age 18 to notify a parent, grandparent or step-parent in the home, or to go before a judge to get a waiver, prior to undergoing an abortion. The Act was prevented from going into effect in June 1995, by an injunction issued by the federal district court in Chicago. Fourteen years later, in August of 2009, the federal appeals court lifted the injunction. However, before the Act could go into effect, the Illinois Medical Disciplinary Board imposed a 90-day grace period on enforcement. On the day that grace period ended, November 4, the law was in effect for only a few hours before Judge Daniel Riley of the Cook County circuit court granted a temporary restraining order, again halting enforcement of the Act.
Judge Riley has granted Thomas More Society attorneys a special setting for their motion to intervene, at 10 a.m. on Monday. At 10:30 a.m., the court will hear the Attorney General’s motion to dismiss the ACLU’s case. Thomas More Society attorneys will be available for comment following the hearing.

NRLC : Abortion Policy and Health Care Reform
"When all of the pro-abortion provisions are considered in total, the Senate bill is the most pro-abortion single piece of legislation that has ever come to the House floor for a vote, since Roe v. Wade. Any House member who votes for the Senate health bill is casting a career-defining pro-abortion vote. A House member who votes for the Senate bill would forfeit a plausible claim to pro-life credentials. No House member who votes for the Senate bill will be regarded, in the future, as having a record against federal funding of abortion." Douglas Johnson Visit:

Star Parker: Abortion, Health Care and Socialism
"According to Johnson, '....Planned Parenthood really tries to instill in their employees and the women coming in for abortions that this is not a baby, that this is just a mass of cells. You know, don't say 'baby' in the clinic. Don't say 'baby' to the women coming in for an abortion. And so you begin to believe that. You begin to believe that it's not a life.'"AddThis utility frame:

Cardinal Rigali on the Health Care and Abortion - The Catholic Standard & Times
Cardinal Justin Rigali:"I further summarized our case in this way: “About 80 percent of all hospitals do not generally provide abortions, and 85 percent of U.S. counties have no abortion provider. By what right, then, and by what precedent, would Congress make abortion coverage into a nationwide norm, or force Americans to subsidize it as a condition for participating in a public health program?”" Visit:The Catholic Standard & Times:

"A jury heard the testimony of three women who claim they were sexually abused by an anesthetist during their abortions, the Manchester Evening News reported.
Dr. Narenda Sharma, of Ashwood in Bowdon, England, was charged with three counts of “causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent” after he allegedly used the hands of female patients to perform obscene acts on himself after administering anesthesia to them during abortion procedures.
All three patients were given a partial anesthesia and were unaware of their surroundings when the alleged incidents took place, according to the testimony."

Cal Thomas' commentary on abortion:
"Why do social liberals say they want to make abortion 'safe, legal and rare,' but then spend all their time on the first two and none on the third? It is relatively simple to reduce the number of abortions, even while keeping them 'safe' and 'legal.' Show the abortion-minded woman a sonogram of the fetus she is about to destroy."

Bob Casey, Bishop Martino and Abortion
Catholics around the nation are watching Bishop Martino's defense of life and truth. Here is a sample from John Borra's of Kansaas:
"Just a few days ago, Scranton's wonderful Bishop Joseph Martino released an open letter to Casey, reminding him once again of his moral obligation 'to oppose abortion and other clear evils.' According to Catholic News Agency:
Earlier in the month, in a first rebuke to Senator Casey, Bishop Martino had warned that the senator's vote against an extension of the Mexico City policy-- which prohibited US taxpayer funding of abortion advocacy abroad-- was a violation of the legislator's moral obligation. “Your failure to reverse this vote will regrettably mean that you persist formally in cooperating with the evil brought about by this hideous and unnecessary policy,” the bishop wrote."

Not only would that put her future fertility in jeopardy, her eggs could also produce multiple embryos in their host mother, embryos that would ultimately need to be 'selectively reduced' (i.e. aborted) to a more manageable number."

Bishop Martino condemned the vote taken by Sen. Casey against the Martinez
Amendment to the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)an amendment to a
bill which would have prohibited millions of U.S. tax dollars from going to organizations abroad that provide and promote abortion.

Bishop takes his place on the national stage with his staunch anti-abortion stance | News | thetimes-tribune.com - The Times-Tribune
"Bishop Joseph F. Martino arrived unannounced at a Honesdale forum on faith and politics in October and insisted that abortion must be the primary voting issue for Catholics.
“No social issue has caused the death of 50 million people,” he told the audience at St. John’s Catholic Church. Before he made his hasty exit, he added, “This is madness, people.” Bishop Martino has emphasized that he is the “one teacher” in the Diocese of Scranton, but in recent months, word of the passion of his lessons has traveled far beyond the 11 counties where he has spiritual authority."
