If a Democratic president enters the White House about a year from now, some experts in family planning anticipate a boon for mankind: a greater effort by the United States government to restrain world population growth. As it is, when a baby born today enters kindergarten, the number of people in the world will have grown by more than 300 million. That's on top of the 6.7 billion individuals alive today. That four-year population-growth projection is comparable to the 303 million people now living in the US – the third most populous nation in the world after China and India....

Al Capone, one of the biggest influences in the annals of American crime, was brought down by the paperwork requirements of the federal tax system. Now pro-life activists believe the nation's abortion industry could face a similar collapse, all because of the paper trail that they believe shows the industry has failed to follow the rules and file the proper reports. "It's a simple audit function," Mark Crutcher, the chief of Life Dynamics, told WND. "All you have to do is go into a state … and look at Title X applications and service reports. Look for all the girls...

Title X funding directly supports Planned Parenthood. Cutting such funding is a goal of many conservatitives in Congress. There are ample votes in the House of Representatives to pass legislation that would cut Title X funding for abortion and restrict political action groups such as Planned Parenthood from receiving taxpayer funds for abortions and the promotion of abortion politics. It is speculated that a fight over Title X funding in the Senate might help find a new front runner for the 2008 Presidential election. Such a fight would show the true colors of the some of the candidates that are...

A panel of 36 distinguished public policy experts and scholars—ranging from Nobel laureate Milton Friedman to Eagle Forum President Phyllis Schlafly to former House Majority Leader Dick Armey—has selected the Internal Revenue Code as the No. 1 item on this year’s Human Events list of the Ten Most Harmful Government Programs. The programs elected by our judges don’t just cost money, they also attack our values and corrode the spirit of liberty that makes America the greatest nation. As in previous years, we initially asked our judges to nominate programs for the list. The judges were then sent ballots listing...

PLANNED PARENTHOOD = ABORTION, INC. The American Life League has issued its annual report on Planned Parenthood, and discovered the following - the number of abortions is up, the amount of money received from the government is up, but donations are down and clinics are closing. Nearly a quarter of a million children were killed at Planned Parenthood clinics in the last year, up 6.1 percent. The organization earned $104 million from those abortions. Government funding for Planned Parenthood was $265 million, an all-time high, and nearly one-third of its total income of $810 million. Meanwhile, private donations declined for...

LifeSiteNews.com Extra Special MUST READ Report on Population Control Document reveals the why of attacks against life and family over past decades TORONTO, May 18, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com)- We must first stress that the 66-page LifeSiteNews.com document to which this story refers is a MUST READ for all persons concerned about life, family and even freedom. For a small number of activists and leaders, there is little that is new in the document but, for the vast majority, the all-important big picture it reveals is critical. Without this understanding, most will continue to fight against shadows and ignore real culprits. How...

Columbus, OH (LifeNews.com) -- Because of a budget amendment passed in June, Ohio has cut over $1 million in funding to Planned Parenthood affiliates and re-routed the taxpayers money to local health departments that do not perform abortions. Last June, the state legislature approved an amendment to the 2-year budget that changed the state's Family Planning Program, which gave priority to Title X organizations like Planned Parenthood, to a Women's Health Services Program, which gave priority to local health departments providing services to low-income women. The budget change was to take effect in July, but due to necessary changes in...

Parent's Right to Know Act of 2003 Paul Weyrich Saturday, June 21, 2003 Paraphrasing an old political slogan: It's time to let parents start being parents again. My wife and I were parents first, friends second to our children when they were growing up. But in today's society, it is very clear that all too many parents are trying to be friends first and parents second – if at all – to their children. Many of today's parents need to start setting definite boundaries for their children, teaching them good, honest, traditional values. And these parents need to start making...

The Planned Parenthood Federation of America is widely known for many things, and widely criticized because of their consistent support and advocacy of killing human beings by abortion. In addition, this organization has been most influential in guaranteeing that parental rights are non-existent in matters involving human sexuality and minor children. But perhaps their most egregious fault — albeit one that is rarely noted — is their propensity to deceive the public by reinventing scientific facts to suit their deadly agenda. The most recent example of this deluded dabbling is found in comments from Dr. Vanessa Cullins on the Planned...

Family Planners Eye Abortion Jihad in Iraq Steven Mosher Vol. 5/ No. 7 Population Research Institute Reproduced with Permission Once Saddam Hussein is defeated, what then? President Bush has publicly declared that he would like to see a stable democracy and a free market economy spring up in the cradle of civilization. He has picked, apparently, an official from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to head the lengthy "nation-building" effort.1 The problem is that our foreign aid programs are better at promoting population control and radical feminism than in building free market democracies abroad. If we Americans...

Local pastors and pro-life groups are criticizing Planned Parenthood of Greater Indiana after the organization announced last week it will partner with Fort Wayne churches to teach faith-based sexuality classes. Some said Planned Parenthood is jumping on the "faith-based" bandwagon to grab money available to organizations serving the faith community. Others said medically accurate sex-education curriculum is already offered by several community organizations, including McMillen Center for Health Education and True Life Choices. Planned Parenthood has received grants totaling $100,000 from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust and the Engleberg Foundation to begin the initiative in Fort Wayne and Indianapolis....

Largest Conspiracy EverKevin McCulloughWednesday, Oct. 9, 2002 How Planned Parenthood Supports Rapists and Child Sexual Predators How old is your daughter? Thirteen? Fourteen? If that's the case, are you sure you know where she is right now? You need to know. You need to be extremely aware of who she is talking to and who she is hanging out with. The reason is simple. Some medical "professionals" are aiding those who would like to rape or sexually assault her, and they will aid them again and again and again – as long as they can make $285 – $710...

Young girls like this one are being told by Planned Parenthood staff that "no one needs to know" about their relationship with a 22-yr-old man. CHICAGO-– Recordings of conversations between a minor girl and Planned Parenthood staffers were released to the public today, revealing that Planned Parenthood staff members tell their clients that they will keep information about alleged child sexual abuse and statutory rape from authorities. In the recorded conversations, a female actress portrays a 13 year old girl speaking with staff members of 21 different Planned Parenthood clinics located throughout Illinois. In the tapes, the "13-year-old" discusses...

The Tale of the Tapes An undercover investigation reveals that abortion clinic workers know what statutory rape is and the laws requiring them to report it. Yet most of the time, they say nothing. By Karla Dial Life was looking pretty good to JoAnne Bennett in 1999. Her job at a Pennsylvania law firm was going well. She had two daughters, 10 and 13, she was very proud of. And best of all, she was engaged to a man she was sure would make a great stepdad. That September, though, Bennett got the news that would bring her tranquil...

School districts accomplices to sex abuse?Pro-life group advises administrators about reporting teen girls' activity Posted: August 28, 20021:00 a.m. Eastern By Jon Dougherty © 2002 WorldNetDaily.com A pro-life organization that has accused Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers of hiding child abuse says school districts that refer girls to such services also may be culpable. "Our review of applicable state laws indicates that by allowing family-planning services providers into the school district to give presentations, conduct sex education classes, leave materials or accept referrals from district agents, servants, employees or contractors, liability may be attenuated to the district for the conduct of...

A North Hudson resident has asked for the board of education to review the school district's policy on reporting incidents of sexually active students. Darla Meyers took the opportunity provided in the agenda for citizens to speak at the board's regular meeting last Tuesday (Aug. 13). Meyers appeared as a representative of Priests for Life of Staten Island, N.Y., and Life Dynamics of Denton, Texas, two groups that are collaborating on a project to block access by Planned Parenthood to schools across the nation. The move is called Child Protection Project. An explanation of the project on the Priests...

Child Protection ProjectLife Dynamics and Priests for Life are collaborating on a project which can block Planned Parenthood's access to schools, and therefore to a large portion of their funding. The project builds on the evidence that abortion facilities nationwide break the law by failing to fulfill their duty as mandated reporters when they know or suspect that a minor is having sexual activity.Any school district that refers students to Planned Parenthood therefore can incur legal liability. Every school district has been alerted to this liability via certified mail. Now, we are asking taxpayers to attend their local school board...

"The Deal with Older Guys" There's a good reason Americans support parental notification laws. By Eric Felten The Weekly Standard (http://www.WeeklyStandard.com) August 12, 2002 / August 19, 2002 EVERYONE SEEMS TO AGREE that Texas Supreme Court Justice Priscilla Owen, President Bush's nominee for a spot on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, has about as much chance of getting past Judiciary Committee Democrats as James Traficant has of getting back into Congress. The reason: The "pro-choice" lobby has made her defeat its Number One priority. What disqualifies Owen, in the eyes of the National Abortion and...

Election year tool for pro-lifersContributed by jim2002 on Tuesday, August 06 @ 18:24:48 EDT Pro-lifers should consider a practical new tool that they can use to kill two birds with one stone. In this election year will help to: (A) expose candidates who are do-nothing, lip-service only pro-lifers and (B) raise awareness of an issue that the pro-aborts don't want to have discussed in public -- and certainly not in a political contest where the media and the public would have to deal with this issue. This practical tool for pro-lifers is a question -- one that can be raised...

If you’re the parent of a 12-year-old girl who was sexually abused by a high school teacher, you might think that state family planning officials would report this case of statutory rape to you if they knew about it. However, in many states, there is no statewide policy for reporting cases of statutory rape which are related to federally-funded teen contraception programs. Workers in Title X family planning programs for teens, according to Title X federal regulations, are not obliged to tell the victim’s parents anything. According to the Virginia Department of Health, policies for reporting cases which involve the...

Keeping secrets Undercover tapes reveal that Planned Parenthood may be aiding and abetting statutory rapistsBy Lynn VincentOn May 30, a worker at a recycling center near Storm Lake, Iowa, found the body of a newborn baby boy. His body had been run through a shredder. Investigators are calling the death a murder, and want medical facilities in the area to release pregnancy test records that might reveal the identity of the baby's mother. Most are cooperating, but Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa (PPGI) is refusing to turn over its records, even though a judge has ordered the group to do...

(CNSNews.com) - Very few communities refuse federal funding, but it may happen tonight in a conservative corner of Kentucky, where pro-life sentiment is very strong. The Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Board is debating whether to refuse Title X funding, federal taxpayer dollars that are used, in part, to pay for contraception for poor women. Northern Kentucky Right to Life is running newspaper advertisements that say certain contraceptives - IUD, the pill, the morning-after pill, Norplant - cause abortions, because they may prevent fertilized eggs from implanting in the womb. Wire services quote the group's president, Robert Cetrulo, as saying...
