"Donations"

Have you ever wondered how Planned Parenthood receives so much money in donations each year? ($212.2 million to be exact)

I mean, they already get $305.3 million from our government annually, so they are hardly a shabby little charity....

I guess I always assumed that donated money must have come from some kooky, rich, confused, old "feminists," but as it turns out, that is not the case at all.

A close friend of mine was telling me that when she found out she was pregnant with her son she had to get an official 'Proof of Pregnancy' document before she would be able to apply for Medicaid...and SURPRISE SURPRISE, PP wasn't giving out any freebies. They told her when she scheduled the appointment to make sure she brought $40 in cash with her to the clinic.

After she was seen and received her p.o.p. she went up to the counter to check out. The woman at the desk proceeded to tell her how much she had saved on this visit because she qualified for some of 'their' generous government grants (part of the $305.3, I'm sure) and that if she hadn't received those discounts (lucky, lucky her) she would have owed PP over $500! But instead, thank the Lord above, her visit today came to just twelve dollars...."oh, and by the way, since you saved SO much money with us today, would you like to make a donation?"

The nerve.

By their own definition they are a NON PROFIT medical facility, there to reach out to POOR WOMEN!

Would a food pantry ever ask you for a donation on your way out the door? I should think not! Or, how about a homeless shelter? I highly doubt it. And why is that?....because they are non-profits....not big businesses.

This is how it should be done...

With Love, Not Fear:

So, how was the Truth Strike you ask....

You know, until just a few minutes ago I wasn't too sure. Honestly, protesting the race kind of made me feel like crap. We were cheering these women on and most of them did seem to get that we weren't protesting them (I was holding a giant sign that said "Your hearts in the right place, but your money isn't -www.pinkmoney.org"). But at the same time I had my doubts when one emotional woman came up to the guy I was with and asked 'how many people in your family have died of breast cancer?' she wouldn't listen to what we were telling her (that we want a cure too, just not at the cost of causing more breast cancer cases through abortion) and so I just loved on her and told her that we supported her. There were a few times though that I just wanted to head for the hills. But low and behold I guess it was worth it since we made Fox 4 news, and now numerous people know that Susan G. Komen donates money to PP.

Go to the grey side bar box and click the video on the bottom left corner. We're at the very end, and they even used my quote about how we commended their activist spirits!

Final Draft (feedback requested)

So, if I were to stand up here and use the "N" word; would any of you have a problem with that?

What if I used a few derogatory female slurs; would that be o.k.?

No! Of course not!

We live in a world that is so Politically Correct that something like that would never be tolerated, and yet so Morally Bankrupt that other horrific acts against the unborn minority are a 'right' that we should fight for?

One of the first things that comes to my mind when I hear the word Oppression is Abortion.

The definition of Oppression is: the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner; the act of subjugating by cruelty.

That sure sounds like abortion to me. Whether these precious babies are black, white, red, yellow, male or female, is not what makes them so susceptible to oppression. It's their lack of strength; their inability to fight for themselves; their need for nurturing and dependency on their mothers...all of the same inherent traits God gave us to bond us to our mothers, our society uses as an excuse to kill these human beings! We are telling God that WE will decide which instincts to embrace and WE decide which instincts to ignore!

I don't know about you, but I try not to tell the Divine Creator of the Universe how to do His job.

When I was 16 years old I became pregnant. And the world told to tell me that the only way I would ever achieve success in my life was to have an abortion. But I knew better, I knew better because my God had told me so. What the world labeled as a curse, He called a blessing.

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. (HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL WITNESS THE CHOICE YOU MAKE!) Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!

Did you know that while a female fetus is still growing in her mothers womb, at 6 gestational months, she develops the eggs that will someday help create that mother's grandchildren? There is far too much thought and masterful creation put into these babies for them not to be called Human Beings! Abortion does not only end one life, it puts a stop to the potential descendants that God tells us about here in Deuteronomy; the future generations that could cure AIDS, Cancer, and Famine. Let's not just run and fund raise for these things, let's give life to those who will cure them!

In 2005, Dallas County alone reported 211,183 abortions were performed. We are ranked 18th out of the 254 other counties in Texas. Eighteenth! I doubt many people know that; so what an amazing opportunity we have to get out there and activate our community!

As we go back out into the cold, callused world, remember, you are not just fighting the good fight against abortion, you are also fighting the good fight against moral injustice and wide spread oppression! The hour is upon us! And I truly believe God has been waiting in anticipation for this generation to proclaim His Truth; He has been waiting for you! You are the ones called to end this holocaust, to change the direction of YOUR generation! Stand up to Planned Parenthood and tell them:

WE WILL NOT BELIEVE YOUR LIES!

WE SEE THROUGH YOUR LAME ATTEMPT TO HAVE US KILL OUR YOUNG JUST TO LINE YOUR POCKETS!

AND YOU WILL NOT SILENCE OUR MESSAGE!

Before I leave I want to share a Psalm with y'all. To me this is a prayer that we should have locked away in our hearts, not just during 40 Days For Life, but as long as abortion is still legal.

Psalm 5 reads:

1 O Lord, hear me as I pray;
pay attention to my groaning.
2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God,
for I pray to no one but you.
3 Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
4 O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness;
you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.
5 Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence,
for you hate all who do evil.
6 You will destroy those who tell lies.
The Lord detests murderers and deceivers.

7 Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house;
I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.
8 Lead me in the right path, O Lord,
or my enemies will conquer me.
Make your way plain for me to follow.

9 My enemies cannot speak a truthful word.
Their deepest desire is to destroy others.
Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.
Their tongues are filled with flattery.
10 O God, declare them guilty.
Let them be caught in their own traps.
Drive them away because of their many sins,
for they have rebelled against you.

11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them sing joyful praises forever.
Spread your protection over them,
that all who love your name may be filled with joy.
12 For you bless the godly, O Lord;
you surround them with your shield of love.

AMEN!

Prayer

As some what of novas prayer peddler, what with the solicitation of 40 Days For Life now under my belt, I thought it was about time to really define what the essence of 'Prayer' is, to me.

To me prayer is the ultimate act of submission. It is saying 'Ok God, here it is; I'm ready for help.'

Just as our children often times try to impress us with their independent 'watch what I can do all by myself' attitude, we too do that same thing to our Heavenly Father. And likewise, as we nervously smile at their feeble attempts and fight that impulse to jump in and save the day, He does as well. I'll confess I have to physically stop myself from taking over when it comes to Aiden and Eiffel and their many endeavors...reading, writing, pouring milk straight from the gallon....all of these things would be so much better, and cleaner for that matter, if I just did them myself!

But of course, I can't, because we learn in the messes. He allows us that same lead way, with the comfort of knowing that no mess is too big for him to come over and wipe up.

As a control freak I have to admit, I like giving up sometimes. I enjoy letting the Lord carry my burden...I just think of it as a spiritual diet. After prayer we should feel lighter, we should feel more obedient, and we should feel closer to the Creator of the Universe.

The "Lesser of Two Evils"...

is a crock.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR EVIL...

of any amount.

PLEASE HELP PLANNED PARENTHOOD

Dear Sir or Madame,

I am writing you today to make you aware of the astonishing number of impoverished children, right here in America, that are forced to grow up without adequate levels of pornography in their households.

I know, it's hard to believe in 2007 that this is still an issue, right? You would think that we have made enough social advances in the world of advertising and cable television to fully satisfy this basic carnal need, but I am here to inform you that NO, WE HAVE NOT!

Many of these children have no internet access whatsoever in their households and are constantly being forced to learn about sex from their PARENTS of all people! You, as well as I, know that this must come to an end!

I encourage you, please, write you local congressman and ask them to increase the measly $305.3 million dollars a year that the government donates to this wonderful non-profit organization.

I mean, honestly, what can you do with a mere $305 million dollars? After performing 264,943 abortions in one fiscal year there is barely anything left for the phenomenal SEX ED classes they offer.

Did you know that there is ONLY a 27% chance of becoming pregnant if you use the 'pull out method?' Exactly! Neither do many of OUR children, and that is just not right. They should have full access to these helpful medical breakthroughs!

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/birth-control-pregnancy/birth-control/withdrawal.htm

More funding is pertainent! It is the only way that they can continue to provide books like "It's Perfectly Normal," (which feature 71 excellent nude drawings) to our urban communities. Believe it or not, there are still some 10 year olds out there who know NOTHING about how cool homosexuality and masturbation are!

Without adequate amounts of pornography these children are 76% more likely to attend church, they are 90% less likely to become sexually active and experience the joys of commitment free sex, and in turn, these poor kiddos may never get to know the magical, life altering milestone of abortion! Atrocious.

DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD BECOME A STATISTIC.

Yours For Money,
Destiny Herndon-DeLaRosa
Assistant Planned Parenthood Informant


P.S. Donations can also be made through the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

P.S.S. All of the statistics and amounts shown in this letter are accurate and factual, with the exception of the very last paragraph....but I have a feeling those are pretty close. (:

It's Perfectly Pornagraphic!

No matter how much Planning goes into Parenthood, there's always a billion dollar non-profit waiting to corrupt your kids.

FROM STOPlannedParenthood, A SECTOR OF AMERICAN LIFE LEAGUE:

Planned Parenthood's 'Nobody's Fool' conference pushes pornographic sex book on children.

"Planned Parenthood has continued its assault on the lives and sensibilities of our children by conducting its 'Nobody's Fool' 2004 conference in Waco, Texas, yesterday," said Jim Sedlak, executive director of American Life League's STOPP International. "From start to finish, this conference was a thinly veiled attack on parental rights, public morality, and the health and well-being of our children."

Parents were not allowed to attend this conference with their children; it was open exclusively to children in the fifth through ninth grades (ages 10-14). "Planned Parenthood barred mothers and fathers from attending the actual sessions because Planned Parenthood knows that parental participation would have hampered the its efforts to indoctrinate these children into its world of lies and propaganda," observed Sedlak.

Children in grades seven through nine also received a free copy of the book, It's Perfectly Normal. "This so-called 'educational text' is nothing more than pornography in comic book form," stated Sedlak. "Planned Parenthood believes that it has the right to decide if our 12-14-year -old children should own a manual that contains detailed explanations on how to perform sexual acts and masturbation. These directions are accompanied by sexually explicit line drawings. This is irresponsible at best and child abuse at worst."

According to Sedlak, this problem will persist "until parents and all people of good will across the nation stand together to oppose Planned Parenthood's continued assault on our families and children."

FROM THE PP SITE:

What can be done to respond to grossly misleading claims like the one in the American Life League advertisement?

My response is that there is no response. I could spend all of my time responding to things that are said about my work that are not true. Or I can spend my time making sure that my books are up-to-date and the information is current, and I can continue speaking at schools ... and creating new books for kids.

I have no reason to defend my work because I'm proud of it. I do take great offense when the truth is not told about the content in my books. ... Part of our job description — my job, Planned Parenthood's job, librarians, and other adults — is standing up and saying that our kids and teens need comprehensive sex education to stay healthy.

FROM DESTINY FALWELL:

When I picked this book up I could hardly believe my eyes. The cover said 10+, and at the ripe old age of 24 believe me, I'm 'nobody's fool' but it was making me blush. Suddenly I felt as if I were in the back alley of some sleaze shop secretly thumbing through a dirty magazine...and isn't PP's goal to keep "us" out of back alley's, hmmm?

Every single page had a 'cartoon' rendition of something overtly sexual on it...well, every page that is, except for the ones covering abortion. Come on! Abortion is PERFECTLY NORMAL, right PP? So why not diagram it as well? Oh, too offensive? Interesting. I'm so glad to know that you draw the line somewhere.

My favorite "doodle" was on page 23 where a character is bending over while holding a mirror behind her; I believe this drawing would be called a "money shot."

Honestly, this book is nothing more than a myriad of juvenile doodlings that you'd likely find on the wall of some truck stop bathroom. Not only does it show detailed pictures of sex acts, masturbation, and homosexuality, but it tells you that a lot of Christians *ick* will say that this stuff is wrong, but it doesn't hurt anybody, kiddos! Now take your condom lollipop and go off and play in the street!

I do not know what kind of logical, intelligent, decent adult would ever advocate that this book is expectable, much less commendable, but they are out there...and it looks like they're working for USA Today, The New York Times, and even Parenting Magazine....mmmm, I love this time of year, you can just smell boycott in the air!

This book is absolute trash and I would go ape if anyone ever gave this filth to my child...but then again they wouldn't dare...after all, we are caucasian and above the poverty line; not quite their demographic.

If you must see it to believe it, here, but you've been warned...18 and over, please:

Life Chain 2007

I just love this picture so much.

Ranch Martyr

You throw tomatoes when someone tells a bad joke;

And I guess a tub of ranch dressing when somebody's praying to end abortion.

Yeah, laughable...it's ok. After the fact, I totally laughed too. I mean who does that?

Right after it happened I gathered some volunteers together and we prayed for the individual who did this. Something that violent (ranch pelting) must have come from a place of hurt.

Father, we just ask you to open this persons eyes and heart, Lord, to your mercy and your grace. You know their sins, and you died on a cross for them, Lord. Whatever it is that they are so angry about, we know you are so ready to forgive. We ask that you just place a hedge of protection around of the rest of the volunteers that will be out here for the next 31 days God. Above all we know that you are our protector Lord. Amen.

And then, I can't help but picture the scene in Saved (a movie I shouldn't of seen I know, but I love, b/c it totally convicts me every time I see it) where Mandy Moore is so angry and self righteous she's about to throw her Bible at someone in a fit of anger. And in another scene, she is praying for a "poor sinner" just so that she can feel superior and gossip about that person.

How many times was that 'ranch thrower' me? How many times have I hated my sin so much that I lashed out on others. Too many to count.

Pro-Life Memorial Day

Today we are kicking off "Respect Life Month!"

I had the pleasure of going back down to the Planned Parenthood site this morning with Eif in her sling. She was being extra cute as we prayed, giving me lots of hugs and kisses. Some angry woman pulled over and yelled at me but God must have put Holy earmuffs on me because I didn't hear a thing that she said. Do you ever notice how when you are doing God's Will you get that type of torment at first? I call it the 'fight in the car on the way to church' principle. I've come to almost look for those obstacles as a form of validation these days. (: The enemy doesn't waste time attacking things that mean nothing.
