Dear Friends For Life,
Planned Parenthood focuses on abortion as its customer base stagnates and service numbers dropPlanned Parenthood is not delivering on its promise to provide expanded services commensurate with the huge increase it has received in government funding - an increase of 78 percent over the past six years. While affiliate numbers, facility numbers, and "services" have decreased, its customer numbers have remained stagnant. Additionally, it has lost 27 percent of its donor base since 2007. Despite all that, its bottom line continues to increase, thanks to its ever-expanding abortion business and government funding.
On January 4, 2013, Planned Parenthood Federation of America released two major documents concerning its operations:
1. The PPFA 2010-2011 Annual Financial Report covering the period from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011.
2. The PPFA 2011-2012 Annual Report covering the period from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012.
Last week a report was made on the financial aspects of the two reports. This week's analysis focuses on the service numbers for 2011 as they relate to Planned Parenthood's ever-burgeoning finances.
Total "services" DOWN, while taxpayer dollars UP 78 percent over six years!

****************************************
ITEM #1: Cleft Lip, Club Foot Abortions 10X More Than Reported
In a shocking new report, the London Telegraph newspaper indicates European researchers show abortions done on babies with minor disabilities that doctors can easily correct is ten times higher than previously indicated.
****************************************
ITEM #2: The housewife is the light of the family
It wasn't until a certain thing happened while my daughter was in grade school that I discovered this.
****************************************
ITEM #3: UK Parliament overwhelmingly passes gay 'marriage' bill
"It is not possible to redefine marriage," Gale said. "Marriage is the union between a man and a woman, has been historically, remains so. It is Alice in Wonderland territory, Orwellian almost, for any Government of any political persuasion to seek to come along and try to re-write the lexicon. It will not do."
****************************************
ITEM #4: To survive, more and more Nepali families force daughters into prostitution
Traffickers promise good money to convince parents to let go of their daughters, especially in rural village where unemployment is high. Once sold, girls are taken to India, China or Arab countries. A 19-year-old former prostitute tells her hellish life in a Delhi brothel.
****************************************
ITEM #5: Unintended consequences of "pregnancy prevention"
But when the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Clinical Preventive Services for Women recommended that FDA-approved methods of contraception be called preventive, it effectively defined pregnancy as a disease. Defining pregnancy as a disease to be prevented is not just a matter of semantics.
****************************************
ITEM #6: Fathers: The Missing Piece of the Abortion Puzzle
The abortion debate continues apace with the 40th anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision this year. Advocates for abortion rights celebrate a woman's right to choose, while pro-life supporters emphasise not only the loss of an unborn baby but also the regrets that haunt many women after having an abortion. Unfortunately, both sides miss an important–and unheard–voice in this debate: The voice of fathers who lose their children to abortion.
****************************************
ITEM #7 Legislation creating "same-sex" marriage: What's at stake?
Marriage comes to us from nature ... neither Church nor State invented marriage, and neither can change its nature.
****************************************
ITEM #8: Family's agonizing trail leads to infant's surgery
The Gundrums, devout Catholics and the parents of seven other children, decided to continue the uncertain pregnancy. The decision would take them from their home outside Milwaukee to Boston, where a family they had never met opened its doors and hearts to them, and where a top-notch medical team at Boston Children's Hospital performed groundbreaking surgery to help their baby. It was a journey that led them from despair to hope, one that would test them and require deep contemplation.

ITEM #9: NYC schools giving out tens of thousands of doses of the 'morning-after pill'
[Note: It should be crystal clear by now that "population control" is pure eugenics -- and not new. Where are the parents? -Dianne N Irving, Ph.D.]
****************************************
ITEM #10: CNN anchor: "How can you not call that a person?"
An eight-minute segment on Monday night reached a turning point when CNN host Erin Burnett exclaimed: "That baby was 8 pounds, 2 ounces. He was going to be born in a couple of days. How could you not define that as a person? That is a viable life."
****************************************
ITEM #11: Pope’s last addresses call on Catholics to stay strong on marriage, abortion, eugenics, euthanasia
"It is not easy to publicly oppose the decisions that many consider to be obvious, such as abortion in the case of an unwanted pregnancy, euthanasia in the case of serious illness, or the selection of embryos to avoid hereditary diseases."
****************************************ITEM #12: North Korean Refugee: Government Preoccupied With Nuclear Tests
According to Timothy (not his real name), a 24-year-old North Korean who was almost tortured to death because he was seen as a traitor after being arrested in China nine years ago, "the government is preoccupied with nuclear tests. "They ignore all freedoms. The human rights level is zero percent. Religions are not allowed. The leader of North Korea (Kim Jong-Un) has to be worshipped as god and this will not change unless the regime collapses."
