    STAFFORD, VA, February 13, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As Planned Parenthood kicks off National Condom Week tomorrow, it will also be actively engaged in selling sex to children as young as those in grade school with graphic videos and books. The American Life League has compiled a video exposing some of Planned Parenthood’s disturbing materials that are presented to school-age children across the country. “Any parent that sees the video of Planned Parenthood’s material for school children will be horrified,” said Jim Sedlak, vice president of the American Life League. “Planned Parenthood’s business model is aimed at making money from people...

    NEW YORK, December 13, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Planned Parenthood’s main website encourages pre-pubescent children to masturbate. On a section of the site with ‘info for teens’ a Q&A presents the question “Is it normal to masturbate before puberty?” The answer begins, “The myth is that it’s abnormal for children to masturbate. The truth is that masturbation is a perfectly healthy activity at any age.” The news comes as little surprise to Dr. Judith Reisman the researcher who discovered that in the late 1950s sexologist Alfred Kinsey had data relating to masturbation of babies, which was later discovered to have been...

    To President Barack Obama and many other Democrats, Europe continues to exercise something of a fatal attraction. The “European dream” embraced by these politicians — as well as by many pundits, academics and policy analysts — usually consists of an America governed by an expanded bureaucracy, connected by high-speed trains and following a tough green energy policy. One hopes that the current crisis gripping the E.U. will give even the most devoted Europhiles pause about the wisdom of such mimicry. Yet the deadliest European disease the U.S. must avoid is that of persistent demographic decline. The gravity of Europe’s demographic...

Just the information that correctly and completely explains the procedure as required for a fully educated choice. But Richards attacked these measures as “burdens” and “dangerous.” Why is Richards so upset? How is looking at a “clump of cells” a burden?...

The new documents are the latest part of the organization’s larger campaign targeted at teenagers and older children.

The guide is designed as a tool to help young people become sex advocates....

Entire sections were reserved for priests in Dachau and Auschwitz, where St. Maximilian Kolbe was injected with carbolic acid. In Yugoslavia, Bishop Misic of Mostar was threatened for decrying the massacre of women and children. The Greek Archbishop of Athens risked his life when he solemnly cursed the German plenipotentiary. The newspapers mocked Cardinal van Roey, Primate of Belgium, for repudiating Nazi eugenics. When Cardinal Hinsley of Westminster spoke out after 120 Salesian priests were slaughtered in Poland, European journalists accused him of "bad faith." A Fascist...

    CNSNews.comNAACP Urged to Help De-Fund Planned ParenthoodThursday, July 17, 2008By Randy Hall, Staff Writer/Editor Dr. Alveda King (CNSNews.com) - Dozens of pastors and pro-life activists attending the 99th annual NAACP conference in Cincinnati this week are calling on that organization to help de-fund the nation’s largest abortion provider. “Racism lives at Planned Parenthood,” said Dr. Alveda King, pastoral associate of the group Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., during a rally on Monday. “I say to my fellow NAACP members: It's time we tell the government to stop funding racism. "Planned Parenthood will gladly accept donations...

    It’s not Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It’s not even Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot or Adolph Hitler. No, according to Keith Olbermann — that blinkered liberal extremist who plays a newsman on TV — Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America (CWA), is “the worst person in the world.” While discussing abstinence education during a recent interview on the Fox News Channel’s Special Report, Wright accurately pointed out that the most strident devotees of that abysmal failure tagged “comprehensive sex education” are most likely to benefit financially when children and teens become pregnant or contract sexually...

    If you thought Planned Parenthood couldn't go any lower, think again. The latest "public service announcement" by Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, which the organization's Web site boasts is aimed at 18-24-year-olds and set to air on MTV, features a ridiculously stereotyped homosexual flight attendant showering condoms, patches, and pills on members of his "Mile High Club" before coming on to the jet's male pilot.

    I recently got my hands on two lawsuits filed this year by former employees against Planned Parenthood Chicago Area and its CEO, Steve Trombley. (They are Pelta v. Planned Parenthood and Chesis v. Planned Parenthood.) One of those employees, Dr. Murray Pelta, was an abortionist for PP/CA from 1992-2007, its medical director from 1997-2007. The stories he must have to tell, and he indeed tells a couple in his complaint. I've tried to imagine what it's like to be on the inside of PP, particularly its upper echelon. But when a business' lifeblood is abortion, I'm sure we will not...

    Deirdre A. McQuade, an official of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), criticized a study by researchers from the Guttmacher Institute and the World Health Organization published in the October 13, 2007 issue of The Lancet, calling for the global legalization and promotion of abortion, “Induced Abortion: Estimated Rates and Trends Worldwide.” “Some say the new Guttmacher study shows that legalizing abortions makes them ‘safe;’ but the study's methodology is flawed. The authors start out by simply defining ‘safe’ abortions as ‘those that meet legal requirements' in countries with permissive laws,” said Ms. McQuade. “But by this unusual...

    Former Planned Parenthood patient, Rebecca Glover, has filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against Planned Parenthood for allegations that her cervical cancer was misdiagnosed for over a year due to their negligence. The suit seeks millions of dollars in damages. In the lawsuit, Glover claims that after performing a pap smear test, Planned Parenthood of San Diego and Riverside Counties failed to tell Glover that the results of the tests revealed she had cervical cancer. The suit also charges that upon realizing its negligence, Planned Parenthood attempted to cover up its mistake by refusing to turn over medical records to Glover...

    I know it's hard to believe. Planned Parenthood opposing choice? Never!   Ever since Roe v. Wade, over 30 years ago, Planned Parenthood has rallied its forces around the banner of CHOICE. The ultimate insult, by extension, has been anti-choice. If you are an enemy of Planned Parenthood, the banner is hoisted high in the sky and voices rise in shrill chants, "Anti-choice, anti-choice, anti-choice!"Thus, it is a momentous occasion when Planned Parenthood has adopted the tactics of the enemy. Planned Parenthood is ANTI-CHOICE! Yes, it is. Really!If choice mattered, politicians funded by Planned Parenthood would listen to parents. And...

    (CNSNews.com) - Despite a drop in donations and the first fall in income from clinics in its history, the nation's biggest abortion provider made a record profit last year, thanks to the American taxpayer. Pro-lifers want this to stop. During its 2005-2006 fiscal year, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America performed a record 264,943 abortions, attained a record profit of $55.8 million and received record taxpayer funding of $305.3 million. According to its annual report, income is divided roughly into three major categories: clinic income (fees charged to customers at clinics); donations (gifts from corporations, foundations and individuals); and...

    Waco, TX (LifeNews.com) -- A Texas pro-life advocate who was one of the first to work to expose the connection between Planned Parenthood and the Girl Scouts says pro-life advocates need to know the abortion business works with a leading breast cancer group as well.John Pisciotta's encouragement comes at a time when Susan B.
