"Why don't you hand out contraceptives if you...
On its face, it seems reasonable that if it is possible to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies by means of contraception, then it is also possible to reduce the number of abortions. But in practice this strategy does not work, due to several factors. First, while contraceptives do reduce the chances that pregnancy will result from an individual sexual act, the widespread use of...

Jimmy Akin on the “accommodation”:
Under the previous evil policy if you worked for an exempt organization—say, a church—then your employer could offer you an insurance plan that did not include sterilization, contraception, and abortion drugs.
Now there will be no such plans.
Remember that “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it” promise? It was a lie then, but...

From "Our Culture Sucks" By Marc Barnes
“The Sexual Revolution was framed almost exclusively as a fight for women’s happiness. Yet, in a culture that has consistently promoted this liberation of women — which seems to involve granting them the safe contraception, sterilization, and abortion they’ve been desperately needing for 250,000 years – women are more depressed than they’ve ever been. (I note the fail and press on.) We’ve...

If Planned Parenthood really cared about women's...
All they were trying to do was give their money to hospitals and other places that do mammograms and cut out the middle-man. Planned Parenthood can’t stand that Komen pointed out that Planned Parenthood wasn’t really caring for women’s health.

From Pro-Lifers Thanking Susan G. Komen:
Komen granted $629,159 to Planned Parenthood last year. This equates to 0.0006% of their overall billion-dollar income.
They are freaking out and asking for “emergency donations” from their supporters, not because they’re in a financial crisis, but because they want to throw Komen under the bus and make an example of them to other...

Latest Attacks on Susan G. Komen Reveals Planned Parenthood’s Real Face
How revealing this fight over Susan G. Komen’s defunding of Planned Parenthood is!
Wesley J. Smith asks exactly the right question:“Abortion Matters More Than Fighting Breast Cancer to Liberals?”
So it would seem. Various Democrats like Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) are boycotting Susan G. Komen over this decision....

I’m no fan of the GOP, but this article is of interest to all pro-lifers, and to pro-choicers who continue to insist that Margaret Sanger’s racist and eugenicist philosophy didn’t exist/doesn’t influence PP anymore:
The GOP has allowed Planned Parenthood and other abortion-aligned allies quite a bit more wiggle room in the GOP since 2008. No, I’m not talking about the...

awkward-time-lady asked: You cannot consider yourself pro-life if you are rejoicing over the fact that thousands of women will not be able to access life saving medical exams because people like you are more concerned with 3% of what Planned Parenthood does while ignoring the amount of good that organization does.

If abortion is illegalized, wouldn't that mean...
The idea of widespread and dangerous “back alley” abortions prior to the nationwide legalization of abortion in 1973 is not supported by the facts. The medical director of Planned Parenthood wrote in 1960 that “90% of illegal abortions are presently being done by physicians.”
Likewise, the “coat hanger abortion” is a myth. In his 1979 book, Aborting America, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of...

Condoms: Taking an Umbrella into a Hurricane
Planned Parenthood claims that what it advocates is “safe” sex to help prevent pregnancy and some forms of sexually transmitted diseases. The organization reports on their website that the correct use of condoms reduces the likelihood of contracting HIV making sex 10,000 times safer [1].
However, According to Dr. Helen Singer-Kaplan, founder of the Human Sexuality Program at the New York...

Is Planned Parenthood helping to Reduce Abortion...
Planned Parenthood officials frequently claim that they want to reduce abortion by providing contraceptives, but the belief that making contraceptives widely available will reduce abortion is not supported by facts. Planned Parenthood officials also frequently declare that one of their central missions is to provide high-quality, low-cost contraceptives, but the evidence suggests otherwise. ...

Where does Planned Parenthood Stand with Parental...
Planned Parenthood strongly opposes laws requiring parental involvement in minor girls’ abortions, though such laws are supported by 69% of the American public. Tough parental approval is required for a minor girl to get her ears pierced or take an aspirin dispensed by the school nurse, Planned Parenthood insists parents have no right to know if their daughters get abortions.

Doesn't Planned Parenthood Refer for Adoptions as...
Planned Parenthood lists adoption referrals as one of the services they provide, but evidence from their own internal reporting reveals that adoption is a very low priority to them. In their annual report for 2005, the number of adoption referrals was omitted. In 2006, Planned Parenthood reported only one adoption referral for every 180 abortions.

Planned Parenthood's Money
The annual budget of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates for fiscal year 2006-2007 was $1,017,900,000—over one billion dollars. The Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates received $336,7000,000 in taxpayer dollars during the 2006-2007 fiscal year, the most recent year for which data is available. Public funds thus constitute nearly a third of...

While Planned Parenthood officials claim that abortions constitute only 3% percent of their services, this figure is misleading. Out of the 10.5 million individual services they provided in 2006, 289,750 were abortions—roughly 3%. But this figure fails to account for the fact that a woman visiting Planned Parenthood for an abortion will receive several services—from a pregnancy test to some...

The unborn ARE persons.
So should humans be recognized as persons under the law? Yes, because humans are persons. Something is a person if it has a personal nature.1 In other words, something is a person if, by nature, it has the capacity to develop the ability to think rationally, express emotion, make decisions, etc. This capacity is something that a person has as soon as he begins to exist, since it is part of his...
