Pro-life man of prayer murdered near high school

Pro-life advocate James Pouillon was murdered the morning of September 11, 2009, because of his outspoken stance on abortion. He was gunned down across the street from the Owosso, Michigan, high school where he prayed while holding a large sign with a picture of a beautiful baby and the word “LIFE” on one side and the picture of “Malachi,” an aborted baby, on the other.

Pouillon was a disabled man who used an oxygen tank and wore leg braces. He spent much of his time outside Planned Parenthood facilities and on other street corners bearing witness to the sanctity of human life. Lansing’s WLNS-TV Channel 6 covered a memorial attended by more than 300 people at the site where he was murdered. 

Planned Parenthood to partner with anti-abstinence duo

Gigi Naglak and Meghann Williams staged a burlesque show last week at Philly Fringe Live Arts Festival in Philadelphia covering “everything that you didn't learn in high school Sex Ed., and a little more.” 

In an interview on the festival’s blog, Naglak expressed dismay at the fact that most sex education these days focuses on abstinence. “Our goal is to take sex education in the opposite direction,” she said, “and we think burlesque offers a unique platform to discuss these issues.”

The show features, among other oddities, the mothers of the performers discussing their sexual experiences. “We'll also cover material that people are generally too afraid to talk about, such as what happens when your wife wants to (perform an unnatural sex act) with you, the husband,” Naglak said.

She says that the duo has recently partnered with PP “and we’re excited to begin new initiatives with them.”

PP of Hudson Peconic promotes back to school special

Out of the 79 PP facilities in the state of New York, 12 are a part of this affiliate. On its home page, PPHP advertises free “emergency contraception” with any paid visit.
 
Michigan House to address legislation promoted by PP

The Michigan House of Representatives will soon take up nine bills promoted by PP that would require insurance companies to pay for birth control. The bills are a part of PP’s “Prevention First” campaign.

The bills also attempt to expand PP-style sex education in Michigan schools.

The proposed legislation would additionally violate the conscience rights of pharmacists by requiring them to fill birth control and “emergency contraception” prescriptions.
