Planned Parenthood promotes Mother's Day?
On May 3, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, sent out an e-mail blast asking for donations "in honor of someone you love for Mother's Day."
That's right. Planned Parenthood, the organization that has slaughtered 4,358,499 babies, is trying to raise money in conjunction with the national holiday on which we celebrate our very own mothers.
PP kills 5,572 innocent human beings every week. This means that every week Planned Parenthood kills twice as many innocent human beings as died in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
This same organization is asking for donations to celebrate Mother's Day?
PP attempts to take motherhood away from mothers by trying to convince women that their preborn babies are a "problem" or "inconvenience" so that it can then kill their preborn babies. PP calls this "reproductive rights." The accurate term is murder. God is the creator of life. God gives us the gift of life and PP takes it away.
All this and PP still attempts to promote Mother's Day? Of course! You wouldn't expect anything less from a baby-killing, pornography-pushing, rapist-protecting, $1-billion-in-assets business.

PP sues to give kids access to porn
Planned Parenthood of Columbia/Willamette has joined Powell's Books and Cascade AIDS Project in filing a federal lawsuit against an Oregon state law that prohibits giving sexually explicit material to minors. The law provides exemptions for educators, healthcare workers, law enforcement officers and other individuals who might need to cover some types of sexual material with children under 18 years old.
So what is PP concerned about? The Oregon law restricts the free flow of pornography. However, PP thinks that It's Perfectly Normal for children to view pornography. In fact, PP's teen web site, Teenwire.com, promotes pornography for children.
It is truly sad that PP does not understand the harm pornography causes. Removing sexual activity from the privacy of marriage distorts it as something used solely for selfish pleasure. Pornography does not require the viewer to give anything of oneself, unlike true spousal love. It objectifies the human body, thereby turning it into a tool for mere physical gratification. Children need to keep their minds pure so that they do not become warped during their formative years. The damage caused by pornography can last throughout a person's lifetime.

Michigan college might buy emergency contraception from Planned Parenthood
Northwestern Michigan College, located in Traverse City, has been in the spotlight this week because its Board of Trustees will vote Monday, May 19, on a proposal passed by NMC's Student Government Association to award the student group Voices for Planned Parenthood $500 to purchase emergency contraception from Planned Parenthood.
Emergency contraception is a high-dosage birth control pill. Those who promote EC claim it may be used after sexual intercourse, over a period of 72 hours, to prevent pregnancy. However, just like the "regular" birth control pill, EC can cause abortions. EC irritates the lining of the uterus so that if a child is conceived, the tiny baby cannot attach to the lining of the uterus and dies. This is called a chemical abortion.
What can you do? Please contact the Board of Trustees and tell them your concerns of this drug and the evils of PP. The Board of Trustees' web site is http://www.nmc.edu/trustees/.

Planned Parenthood wants to tell you how to talk to your kids
Planned Parenthood wants to not only reach all young people and encourage promiscuous sexual activity, but it also wants to get to the parents of these children, to provide "advice" on how to talk to their kids about sex.
We have reported in the past on PP's Real Life. Real Talk. program. This is one of the programs that PP is using to attempt to reach parents on how to provide PP-style sex education to their kids.
WTNH-TV (News Channel 8) of Connecticut has featured PP as the expert on how parents should talk to their kids about sex. Not only does this TV channel interview a PP employee, but it also includes photos of what teens are using to promote in sexual promiscuity. One such photo shows a PP condom key chain.
PP is not going to encourage the virtues of chastity and abstinence; it instead provides condoms and birth control. PP brainwashes parents into thinking that this is something that their children need to have. Why? As PP employee Pierrete Silverman said in her WTNH interview, "Kids are bombarded with sexual images every day." However, she fails to mention that the same organization that she works for and represents is part of the reason why these images are out there!

Expelled exposes Margaret Sanger as a eugenicist
A new documentary now being shown in theaters is Ben Stein's Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Ben Stein interviews scientists and professors on the debate between proponents of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and proponents of intelligent design. Throughout the film, Stein points out the flaws in Darwinism and how it even led to the Holocaust – Adolf Hitler's massive killing of innocent people. Stein also exposes the truth about Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood's founder, and shows how similar her philosophies were to Hitler's, especially since both were trying to create a master race of human beings through breeding of those deemed to be fit and oppressing those deemed unfit.
Expelled exposes Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood for what they are. Tragically, her sinister legacy continues: Planned Parenthood has murdered over four million innocent human beings and just this year, was caught accepting donations offered specifically to pay for aborting black babies.

Happy Mother's Day!
American Life League wishes all mothers a very happy and blessed Mother's Day. Thank you for all that you do and thank you for accepting your motherhood.
This is a reflection written by the late Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty of Hungary:
The most important person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral – a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby's body. The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God's creative miracle to bring new saints to Heaven. Only a human mother can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature; God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation. What on God's good earth is more glorious than this: to be a mother?
