Comment on Komen funding decision regarding Planned Parenthood and the aftermath
"Planned Parenthood's bitter campaign against Komen--aided by left-liberal activists and media--is analogous to a protection racket: Nice charity you've got there. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it. The message to other Planned Parenthood donors is that if they don't play nice and keep coughing up the cash, they'll get the Komen treatment.
There's one crucial difference, however. In a real-life protection racket, the victim never pays voluntarily. The threat is present from the get-go. By contrast, Komen presumably was not under any duress when it made its grants--and it could have avoided all this nasty publicity by never dealing with Planned Parenthood in the first place. read more...

Response to critics published in leading medical journal
After several months’ delay, a leading medical journal has published a letter by Elliot Institute director Dr. David Reardon in response to recent ad hominem attacks by abortion advocates attempting to deny a link between abortion and mental health problems in women. The criticism began last fall after the British Journal of Psychiatry (BJP) published a meta-analysis review by Dr. Priscilla Coleman on mental health and abortion. To the dismay of abortion rights advocates, the review showed that women who had abortions were 81 percent more likely to experience mental health problems afterward compared to women who gave birth. read more...

Merck-funded scientist pushes HPV vaccine for boys despite absence of proof of efficacy
A researcher who has been a consultant for the manufacturers of the controversial Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine has conducted a study using money from the one of the companies that purports to show that boys are more likely to contract oral HPV than girls. Dr. Maura L. Gillison, a professor at Ohio State University who has worked as a consultant for Merck and GlaxoSmithKline, was the “principal researcher” for the study, which was itself funded partly by Merck. She is not being coy about the conclusions she wants the public to draw from the results. read more...

Planned Parenthood's new ads entice young people with lewd messages
The new bright pink Planned Parenthood ads being rolled out by PP of Northern New England blast such slogans as: We’re your SEXUAL EXPERIENCE, We’re your FRIEND WITH BENEFITS, We’re your QUICKIE, We’re your PRIVATE AREA, We’re your SEXUAL FANTASY, and We’re your MORNING AFTER. The message is appearing on buses, in local newspapers, and on Facebook, as well as on PP’s “new, fun collection of magnets, sticky notes, pens, and lip balm.”
The abortion giant admits in its fall/winter 2011 newsletter that the ad campaign is geared toward young people: “A little bit cheeky and irreverent, it mirrors what our research tells us: Young people are looking for reproductive health care that includes convenience, honest and reliable answers, and a dash of humor.” read more...

Planned Parenthood's big lie
For 17 years, I believed the big lie - the lie that Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion chain, was all about protecting women’s health. Not about abortion, but about “preventing the need for abortion.” . . . Planned Parenthood is not about helping women access health care. Instead, it is about making money. And abortion is its moneymaker. Telemed abortion is its mega moneymaker. read more...

Komen still doesn't acknowledge abortion-breast cancer link
The pro-life movement is applauding yesterday’s news indicating the Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity has indefinitely stopped its donations to the Planned Parenthood abortion business. However, the breast cancer group continues to refuse to acknowledge the link between induced abortion and breast cancer. Karen Malec, the head of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, one of the main organizations educating about how abortions raise the risk for women when it comes to contracting breast cancer, tells LifeNews today she applauds the breast cancer group for discontinuing its grants to Planned Parenthood but is disappointed that Komen will still not tell women the truth about the link. read more...
