Komen Buckles to Pressure from the Far Left
So, if Planned Parenthood receives the entirety of the $700,000 that the Susan G. Komen Foundation for the Cure were donating to Planned Parenthood before they weren’t for a day, and Planned Parenthood retains the $650,000 in new donations, they will get well over $1,000,000 in private donations to continue slaughtering babies–I mean, terminating pregnancies.
This fact alone should persuade Congress that Planned Parenthood does not need public money. Private entities have the capacity to provide more than enough money for Planned Parenthood’s efforts to sexualize children, undermine parental rights, and kill babies.
The Komen Foundation should realize that Planned
Colorado Personhood Amendment to Face Planned Parenthood Supreme Court Challenge
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains and Protect Families Protect Choices filed an appeal on Monday, challenging a ruling from the Colorado Secretary of State Title Board in favor of Personhood Colorado (case: 12SA10). The 2-1 decision from the board allows a proposed state constitutional amendment, applying the right to life equally to human beings of every age, to proceed to petition.
Colorado voters overwhelming defeated two similar personhood amendments in the 2008 and 2010 elections, rejecting the measures by 3-to-1 margins both times.
“This appeal is a frivolous attempt to put the brakes on our right to petition on …
Planned Parenthood Report Shows Focus on Abortion Little to Promote Adoption
According to its most recent annual report (July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010), the Planned Parenthood Federation of America received more than $487 million taxpayer dollars and performed nearly 330,000 abortions.
Several members of Congress attempted to strip Planned Parenthood of its federal funding during 2011 budget negotiations, but were not successful. Some states, such as Indiana, also attempted to reject federal money for Planned Parenthood, but were ultimately forced by the Department of Health and Human Services to accept it or risk loss of other federal revenue.
Planned Parenthood’s recent annual report is a wake-up call for pro-life …
Komen Gave $569K to Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz in 2010
New figures directly from the Komen for the Cure foundation show 18 affiliates of the breast cancer charity gave a total of more than $569,000 to the Planned Parenthood abortion business in 2010.
The donations will certainly prompt the continued boycott of the Komen breast cancer group by millions of pro-life Americans who find it disingenuous that the women’s organization would partner with an abortion business when abortions are linked to an increase in breast cancer and when Planned Parenthood has been proven to mislead the public by falsely claiming it performs mammograms.
The new figures come from an American …
Defunding Planned Parenthood is Constitutional
8/6/2011 1:34:00 AM – Christian Newswire
This week, the Thomas More Society filed a “friend of the court” brief available here in the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on behalf of more than 60 members of the Indiana General Assembly, in opposition to Planned Parenthood’s assertion that defunding abortion providers imposes an “unconstitutional condition” on physicians’ alleged right to perform abortions.
The brief states that “abortion providers have no constitutionally recognized Fourteenth Amendment right to perform abortions” and that funding restrictions would not “interfere with the ability of pregnant women to obtain abortions. Accordingly, because the …
Report: Illinois Clinics Hid Six Abortion Deaths, 4,000 Injuries
The Chicago Tribune newspaper has released the details of a new investigative report revealing the number of abortions in the state has been massively underreported. Those numbers include six women who have died from botched abortions and 4,000 who were injured.
Although state law on abortion that Illinois adopted in 1975 requires abortion centers to report numbers and complications to the Illinois Department of Public Health, the Tribune found the state system for tracking abortions is so broken that officials are likely missing as many as 7,000 abortions annually.
The newspaper found state officials documenting between 7,000 and 17,000 fewer …
The Consequences of Admitting ABC Link
In my previous column, I revealed that the son of the founder of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is in a joint business venture with Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest (“PPGNW”).
Located in Washington state, PPGNW holds a 12.5 percent share of the Metro Centre mall in Peoria, IL, where Nancy Goodman Brinker’s son Eric Brinker maintains “controlling interest,” according to an e-mail he sent me.
Eric is also a Komen board member.
This only matters because Komen refuses to acknowledge the link between abortion and breast cancer while it insists on bestowing grants to affiliates of …
Planned Parenthood Report Oversexualizes Ten-Year-Olds, Undermines Parental Authority
International Planned Parenthood Foundation’s recently released report, “Stand and Deliver: Sex, Health and Young People in the 21st Century,” advocates policies that jeopardize the well-being of children’s health, the importance of parents and the moral values of our society, says Family Research Council.
The report promotes contraceptive sex education for children as young as ten years old. Most disturbingly, the report advocates that children as young as ten be “empowered” to “develop satisfying and pleasurable sexual lives.” The report demands that children 10 and older be given a “comprehensive sexuality education” by governments, aid organizations and other groups, and …
Harvard Study Shows Planned Parenthood Business Declining
According to a Harvard Business School case study, despite profits of $85 million in 2008, Planned Parenthood is facing serious financial difficulties. The Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is structured as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with multiple affiliates, each of which is also a 501(c)(3) non-profit. The national entity lobbies on national policy, sets affiliation standards, and leases its “Planned Parenthood” brand to affiliates.
The difficulties stem from the uneven strength of its affiliates. According to the Harvard case, PP’s president Cecile Richards says her organization faces “tough economic times, a hostile political climate, and limited ability to …
