THE WEDNESDAY STOPP REPORT

Is Planned Parenthood committing partial birth abortions?

In an open letter posted on Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s web site, Dr. Vanessa Cullins, vice president of medical affairs for PPFA, implies that Planned Parenthood commits partial-birth abortions.

In light of the Supreme Court’s recent decision to uphold the ban on this abortion procedure, Dr. Cullins made it clear that the ruling "will affect some second-trimester abortions at Planned Parenthood.“ She noted the law would not take effect immediately, and emphasized, “If you have an appointment, you should still come in.”

This clearly suggests that Planned Parenthood may be committing partial birth abortions and will continue to do so as long as possible.

Of course the murder of a child is just as grievous whether that child is one day old or 9 months old. However, the fact that Planned Parenthood promotes the killing of children even at their births is definitely chilling.

Planned Parenthood uses Supreme Court decision to push radical agenda

Within moments of the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the ban on partial birth abortion Planned Parenthood released several statements that it was “saddened” by the news, noting that “Bush’s Supreme Court has changed everything.”

The reality is that this decision still permits people to kill their pre-born children at any point, for any reason, but that this one method of killing cannot be used, unless one claims the exception for life of the mother.

Planned Parenthood is “saddened” because it has fewer options for killing babies. Planned Parenthood’s outrage over this decision shows that it is so intent on committing abortions that it can’t even stand one especially gruesome method from being banned. In fact, PP is so upset over the fact that it cannot commit this form of infanticide that it is holding protests and visibility events across the country today and throughout this week.

• Planned Parenthood of Rhode Island will be protesting at the Rhode Island state house from 5:00-7:00 tonight (Wednesday).

• Planned Parenthood of Central Pennsylvania will be holding signs along the 1800-1900 blocks of East Market Street in York, Pennsylvania between 5:00 and 6:00 tonight.

• Planned Parenthood of the Saint Louis Region will be collecting petition signatures outside of Busch Stadium in Saint Louis between 6:15 and 7:15 tonight

• Planned Parenthood of Collier County will be holding a protest in Naples, Florida, at the corner of Creech Rd. and Route 41 (Tamiami Trail) tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon between 2:30and 3:30.

• Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Virginia will be holding signs at the intersection of Independence Blvd. and Virginia Beach Blvd. in Virginia Beach tomorrow between 5:00 and 6:30 pm.

We encourage you to go out to these sites and be a witness to the truth. Feel free to arrive at these places early and bring signs of your own.

Also, if you happen to pass by an event that Planned Parenthood is taking part in, feel free to peacefully challenge the protestors. Often those who are holding signs in support of Planned Parenthood’s radical agenda don't know the full story about this organization. Remember when talking with these people that they are not the enemy, but that they too must be lovingly taught about the evil of Planned Parenthood’s work.

If you do not see an event listed in your community, this does not mean that there will not be one. To keep up to date on the activities of Planned Parenthood in your community frequently check PP’s SaveRoe.com web site. On this web site, there is an “events” section where Planned Parenthood affiliates list times and locations of upcoming activities.

New resource available in the fight to defeat Planned Parenthood

One of simplest and most effective ways of exposing Planned Parenthood’s attack on our children is by directing people to view the material on its youth web site, TeenWire.com. Typically, people are appalled by the web site at first glance; but the problem is that most parents do not know that it exists.

We encourage you to spread the word about this web site to your friends and family, but exposing Planned Parenthood’s assault on children can’t stop there. Because of this American Life League is happy to offer the newest installment of the reasons to stop Planned Parenthood.

This ad outlines the offensive material Planned Parenthood uses to exploit kids and issues a call to action to insist that all of its tax funding be immediately removed. As with all of the materials in the downloads section of our web site, this resource is free.

Remember, this is not just to be used as an ad. You can print it on a standard piece of paper and it will make a great flier to handout at the next Planned Parenthood event in your community.

Parents in New York protect students from Planned Parenthood

You may recall a story from the February 21 edition of the Wednesday STOPP Report about parents in North Rockland, N.Y. who were outraged over Planned Parenthood being invited into their children’s school. There was an immediate groundswell of opposition from the community when they were informed and parents began to immediately employ the tactics outlined in our resource, Parent Power.

We are happy to report that as of April 12, Fieldstone Secondary School not only revoked Planned Parenthood’s invitation, but will officially no longer allow it to present at the school again.

"We decided that our teachers are fully capable of covering the material," said Brian Monahan, North Rockland superintendent of schools. The announcement came after weeks of calls, letters and meetings with concerned parents and community leaders.

One parent said that he didn’t think students “should be taught by an organization that provides for chemical and/or surgical abortions as well as sexual promiscuity amongst children.”

We congratulate the vigilance and diligence of the parents in North Rockland and hope that this news will encourage parents around the country with the knowledge that they do have the power to protect their children from Planned Parenthood’s attacks.
