Life Site: Gov. Christie Vetoes Millions to Planned Parenthood

TRENTON, New Jersey, July 26, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – As New Jersey’s Republican Governor Chris Christie continues to fulfill a campaign pledge to restore state government to fiscal sanity, he has vetoed a bill that would have dedicated $7.5 million in state to “family planning” clinics, most of which are run by Planned Parenthood.
New Jersey’s Star Ledger reported that Christie in his veto message said that “the state simply cannot fund every worthy program” and would not restore $7.5 million for family planning clinics that he had cut from the state’s budget for fiscal year 2011.
Marie Tasy, executive director of New Jersey Right to Life, praised Christie for standing by his decision to cut funds for Planned Parenthood.
“The taxpayers of New Jersey are under no obligation to fund the radical and failed social agenda of Planned Parenthood,’’ said Marie Tasy, according to the Star-Ledger. “We commend Governor Christie for his steadfast opposition to restoring these funds.”
Christie issued the veto along with vetoes of two bills that would have established a $100 million tax credit program for new homebuyers, and redirected government funds to enroll 39,000 low-income individuals in the state’s subsidized health insurance program.
"State spending has been reset to levels the taxpayers can afford,” said Christie in a stern message to the legislature. “Supplemental spending that would return to the unchecked spending and out of control budget shortfalls of the past will not make it past the Governor's desk."
Reports indicate that the Democrat-controlled Legislature may seek to mount a veto-override. 

A major CIVAB kudos to Gov. Christie for vetoing taxpayer funds that would have gone to this vile organization.

A Sex Abuse Scandal You Won't Hear in the Media

I've blogged about this before, but the recent media assault on the Church has inspired this one.

Hey fellas, if you're so concerned about exposing child abuse cover-up, how about you report this one for a change?




And I'm sure there's plenty more where this came from.

Actually, I don't expect the mainstream media to report on this.  It won't serve their agenda, and besides, the MSM is one of the biggest supporters of the abortion industry today.  Why would they print something that damages it?

Girl Scout Sex Guide? Why am I not surprised?

Must be because the Girl Scouts have long been soaking up the ethos of the sexual revolution by allowing sexual perversion to enter into their ranks.

C-FAM, a Catholic group working at the United Nations, recently reported that a Planned Parenthood (I'm sure you saw that one coming) distributed a guide at a World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) entitled "Healthy, Happy and Hot", which tells teenage girls to be happy and have lots of sex, pretty much.

That Planned Parenthood would get involved teaching young, teenage and prepubescent girls that having sex at their age is OK is not surprising.  Neither is it that the GSUSA would be on board for it.  

The organization has long been mired in the filth of the sexual revolution.  The organization maintains a "don't ask, don't tell" sort of policy that essentially allows homosexuals to join (one lesbian group even recommended the Girl Scouts as a great place to meet a sexual partner), and has been associated with Planned Parenthood since at least 2004, and all this is in defiance of their original founding principles.  And for it, they're getting accolades at the UN.

The Boy Scouts of America, on the other hand, have maintained their founding moral principles and upheld them to the highest degree.  What's their reward?  They're being banned from public buildings and booed by Democratic lawmakers.

Kinda makes those cookies being sold in front of the supermarket a lot less appetizing, doesn't it?

PP is at it again

MILWAUKEE, February 23, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - New undercover footage shows staff at a Milwaukee, Wisc. Planned Parenthood abortion clinic apparently breaking the law by counseling a purportedly 14-year-old statutory rape victim not to tell anyone about her 31-year-old boyfriend, and coaching her how to obtain an abortion without her parents' consent.

The new video, the seventh in a series from Live Action documenting similar behavior in 5 other states, comes amid recent controversy about Planned Parenthood's compliance with state laws regarding minors and abortion.

Seventh time the folks at Planned Parenthood have been caught attempting to cover up statutory rape in order to facilitate an abortion.  I'm not surprised anymore.  PP cares nothing for the lives of women and their unborn babies, just how many dollars they bring in.  A vile organization if there ever was one.

Please, do NOT allow them to build any abortuaries in your neighborhood, and write to your representatives to defund this evil organization!

Planned Parenthood Tears at Catholicism

The folks at Planned Parenthood are at it again. 

The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has released a new report on sex education.  Wait do you hear what they have to say.

IPPF uses the terms young people, youth and adolescents interchangeably to refer to people who are between 10 and 24.

In other words, elementary school kids should be treated the same as college graduate students when it comes to sex education.  Any word on the right of parents to choose how best to educate their children?  None that I can see.

It gets better than that though.  Hat tip to the Catholic League.

The entire program is based on a faulty assumption. IPPF says that “The taboo on youth sexuality is one of the key forces driving the AIDS epidemic and high rates of teenage pregnancy and maternal mortality.” Nonsense. In the 1950s, there was no sex education in the schools, the pill was not commercially available and AIDS didn’t exist. Yet the out-of-wedlock birth rate was comparatively miniscule and sexually transmitted diseases were relatively rare. All because of taboos.

According to IPPF, it’s those Catholics—who are indistinguishable from radical Islamists—who are the problem. “Fundamentalist and other religious groups—the Catholic Church and madrasas (Islamic schools) for example—have imposed tremendous barriers that prevent young people, particularly, from obtaining information and services related to sex and reproduction.”

So, let me see if I get this straight; a kid who goes to a parochial school and learns about responsible sexual behavior (such as chastity before marriage) are analogous to Imam Amir's madrasa students who are denied any sort of sex education and are taught that homosexuals are to be put to death?  I fail to see the similarity.

I bring this up not because it's new, but because it's just another example of the extent that the culture of death is going to achieve its aims.  Planned Parenthood and other abortion chains around the world have been arguing for "youth sexual rights" for years.  Why, do you ask?  The reason is simple: money.  More people having sex means more unintended pregnancies (ever notice it's the "sexually liberated" types that have the highest rates of illegitimacy, abortion and STDs?), and more unintended pregnancies means more desperate women coming into their abortuaries, which means more cash for the chains.

Another reason why Catholics and others must stand loud and proud for the virtue of chastity.  Lives depend on it.

You can read the report straight from the horse's mouth here.

LifeSiteNews: Duggar Family Renting the Former Home of PP Founder

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas, February 8, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, the reality TV parents who recently grabbed headlines following the birth of their nineteenth child, are now renting a house once owned by the eugenicist founder of Planned Parenthood in Little Rock, Ark., reports the Examiner.

"It’s comical that the house we’re renting was actually owned by a lady who started Planned Parenthood in Little Rock. There’s even a plaque outside in the front yard," Jim Bob told the news service in a telephone interview.

The irony is inescapable; this family, which has allowed God to bless them with so much new life, is renting the home of a woman who was a racist and advocate of eugenics, and who founded an organization which is one of the leading advocates of the abortion holocaust in America today.  Perhaps the Almighty is sending us a message here?

May the Good Lord continue to bless the Duggars for the rest of their lives.
