irrevocably-a-timelady 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...

Aren't abortions only a small percentage of the...
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...

In 2006, Planned Parenthood performed 289,750 abortions, or approximately 23% of all abortions, making them the largest abortion provider in the United States. Even as the overall national abortion rate goes down, Planned Parenthood continues to perform more abortions every year.

mayabelen asked: Should people who have miscarriages be investigated by the police for manslaughter?
sink-or-svvim asked: A cell is defined as the basic unit of life. so that means that from the moment a sperm meets an egg to make a dipliod cell, that is LIFE. I don't see why there is a scientific debate, when the definition is right there.

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...

Personhood: It is unjust and inaccurate to...
PAGE SUMMARY:
By definition, humanity and personhood go hand in hand. Developing humans in the womb have an intrinsically personal nature and even demonstrate “personality” in many of the same ways that newborn babies do.
There are essentially two issues which must be resolved concerning unborn embryos and fetuses. The first is, “Are they human beings?” The second is,...

The unborn baby is just as viable (able to live)...
An unborn human person is just as viable as you or me in any stage of development. Our basic needs are the same when we are unborn as it is when we are born and for the rest of our life. What are those needs? Food, water, and shelter. The mother’s womb provides these three things in a more perfect way than when we are born persons. Yes, they are administered differently, but they are our...

Planned Parenthood Director Admits "The sky is...
Are pro-life advocates making progress in securing life rights for all humans? You better believe it!
In an article published last Saturday, Casey Martinson, a Planned Parenthood Director of Public Affairs, wrote:
I’m sorry to say that the sky is falling on Roe v Wade. It’s been falling incrementally for the past four decades, and it fell further, faster, in 2011 than in any year before.
