ALL Pro-Life Today: North Dakota boots Planned Parenthood sex ed program

Thursday, January 24, 2013 North Dakota boots Planned Parenthood sex ed program By Rita Diller When North Dakota state legislator Bette Grande took to the airwaves to say that Planned Parenthood has no business in the state and threatened to cut a university's state funding if it went forward with its Planned Parenthood partnership, she knocked the abortion giant right off its pedestal. Planned Parenthood was preparing to launch a community-based sex program with the help of two professors from North Dakota State University. The school and the abortion mogul were set to partner in a three year, $1.2 million federal PREP education grant that had been awarded in September. [ Click here to read more. ]

HEADLINES Planned Parenthood's cancer war on women continues Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer Increased childbearing, starting before age 25, has long been known to provide significant protection against breast cancer. But, Planned Parenthood is waging a cancer war on women through its sales of induced abortions, contraceptives, abortifacients, injections, vaginal rings, skin patches, implants, IUDs and sterilizations. Although the abortion chain acknowledges the risk reducing effects associated with having an early first full term pregnancy and breastfeeding, it contradicts itself by denying that abortion puts women at an increased risk for the disease. Planned Parenthood omits from its "fact sheet" most of the 71 epidemiologic studies reporting an independent link, meaning that abortion also raises breast cancer risk by leaving the breasts with more places for cancers to start. Abortion promises unfulfilled The Public Discourse In the 1960s and 1970s, abortion advocates used a variety of arguments to advance their cause. Some emphasized women's liberty and autonomy. Others tried to persuade people that easy access to abortion would benefit society as a whole. Legal abortion, advocates argued, would result in fewer out-of-wedlock births and less child abuse, and would ensure that every child was wanted. Over time, these arguments lost credibility because neither out-of-wedlock births nor child abuse was decreasing. In malpractice case, Catholic hospital argues fetuses aren't people Colorado Independent Lori Stodghill was 31-years old, seven-months pregnant with twin boys and feeling sick when she arrived at St. Thomas More hospital in Cañon City on New Year's Day 2006. She was vomiting and short of breath and she passed out as she was being wheeled into an examination room. Medical staff tried to resuscitate her but, as became clear only later, a main artery feeding her lungs was clogged and the clog led to a massive heart attack. Stodghill's obstetrician, Dr. Pelham Staples, who also happened to be the obstetrician on call for emergencies that night, never answered a page. His patient died at the hospital less than an hour after she arrived and her twins died in her womb.
